After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

"Ok!"

Xiao Yu nodded, but he only looked at the things he had prepared for Bai Yan and didn't dare to look into Bai Yan's eyes.

"Master has to go out for a while to check on the situation outside. Also, Master got into quite a bit of trouble this morning, so he's going out to lay low for a bit. He'll be back soon, really."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Xiao Yu held his breath, hoping Bai Yan would say no.

He doesn't care if the protagonist dies or not, he doesn't care about the system, he doesn't care about Tie Yanran. Even if someone in the Ascension Realm comes and asks him to leave, he'll just blast them away with his sword.

"Fine! You can go now."

However, Bai Yan simply nodded, just as he always did.

"Um, aren't you going to try to persuade them to stay?"

Xiao Yu raised his head to look at Bai Yan, whose gray-blue eyes were still a chilling grayness.

Bai Yan blinked. Should he try to persuade him to stay? Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yu waved his hand, interrupting him:

"Alright, that's fine then. Master, I'm leaving."

Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. It was still the same. There was no point in saying anything more. He walked to the door, pushed it open, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he remembered the merman who was still a burden on Waiting Guest Peak, so he turned to Bai Yan and gave him another instruction:

"Keep an eye on the merman at Waiting Peak. She's a friend of Master's. If she gets into any trouble, go to Vice Sect Master Gong. She'll handle it. Remember to call her Sect Master Gong and be polite."

Bai Yan nodded.

Xiao Yu pushed the door open to leave, but after opening it just a crack, he remembered something:

"There's one more thing. Tie Yanran and her brother... I think they're sisters. Do you remember them? They played with you when you were little. Be careful of Tie Yanran. Never mention your chest in front of her. She has small breasts and a terrible temper, or you'll be in big trouble..."

What will happen next?

Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, a cold voice came through the crack in the door from outside.

The leisurely atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

I...I'm so pissed!

No way.

"..."

Xiao Yu opened the door and glanced inside, where a hideous, dark gray mask came into view.

illusion.

It must be an illusion.

Xiao Yu quickly closed the door, trying to deceive himself.

but.

"Open the door."

The cold voice rang out again, carrying a faint but palpable pressure that shattered Xiao Yu's illusions.

Depend on!

He actually came; he thought his parting words were just empty talk.

Xiao Yu wanted to climb out the window and run out, but he glanced at Bai Yan inside the room.

This would inevitably lead to Tie Yanran barging into the house, and it would be bad if she hurt Xiao Yan.

Since that's the case, then let's just run.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath to bolster his courage, since she couldn't possibly chase him out of Jumo Island anyway.

So, Xiao Yu opened the door and faced Tie Yanran, who was fully armed.

"Ha... Good afternoon, we meet again, Iron... Iron Girl."

"Stop trying to get close to me. Just surrender obediently and come with me to the Sword Prison. You'll be fine after a few days of reflection." Tie Yanran, wearing a mask, looked dashing and reverted to her unapproachable demeanor.

"Really? That easy? You're not going to resort to vigilante justice, are you?"

Xiao Yu looked at Tie Yanran suspiciously. He had done such a terrible thing to her, was it really okay to just shut her up?

"Of course...of course."

Tie Yanran hesitated for a few seconds, glancing to the side with her eyes behind the mask, and said with zero credibility.

Depend on!

Of course not! If you get caught, you're definitely dead.

If you put yourself in her shoes, what if a woman touched your penis and then commented, "So soft, so small, sis!"? That must be fake, right? Where did you buy it?

Just thinking about it makes me furious.

If I fall into her hands, I probably won't be able to leave Sword Prison standing up; my fate will definitely be worse than Liu Shicheng's.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Thinking this to himself, Xiao Yu raised his hands as if he had given up resisting and walked towards Tie Yanran.

"Eh... okay." Tie Yanran was taken aback, not expecting it to be so easy. She picked up the rope hanging from her waist and walked towards Xiao Yu, preparing to tie him up. This was a specially crafted magic weapon, specifically used to bind cultivators.

Seeing that he had walked out of the house, Xiao Yu suddenly reached out and pointed behind Tie Yanran, his face showing a surprised expression: "Look! Huge breasts."

"what!"

Although it was an obvious, even clumsy, technique, Tie Yanran still instinctively turned her head to look behind her.

Call ~

A clump of grass was blown by the wind and rolled across the open ground.

Xiao Yu's original intention was to point to an open space and use the sensitive word "chest" to attract Tie Yanran's attention so that she would turn her head, and then he would take the opportunity to make a quick escape.

But by sheer coincidence, under the dazzling sunlight, a burly man from Shenji Peak, with massive pectoral muscles, slowly walked over carrying timber. When he saw Tie Yanran looking at him with sharp eyes, he waved his hand sheepishly, causing his massive pectoral muscles to twitch.

His bronze-colored pectoral muscles were covered in sweat, glistening in the sunlight.

Tie Yanran almost blacked out, her brain went blank for a few seconds, but she quickly came to her senses, turned her head and saw that Xiao Yu, the instigator, had already run eight zhang away.

You oil the road!

It took much longer than expected.

I really didn't mean to offend you, I'm so sorry. I'll buy some more breast enhancement drugs and bring them back for you.

"Xiao Yu, you're dead!"

"Eh?"

This... the tone of your voice seems a little off.

Tie Yanran was so angry that she trembled all over. The next moment, the air around her circulated, and a few feet behind Xiao Yu, an invisible hand of energy condensed and reached out to grab him as he fled with the sword light.

The massive hand, with its overwhelming aura, cast a shadow that almost completely obscured Xiao Yu's entire body.

I rely on!

This has gone too far!

Xiao Yu squeezed out almost all the spiritual energy in his dantian and pushed the sword light on his body to its limit in order to barely avoid the attack.

The two large hands of Qi merged violently, and the resulting shockwave nearly caused Xiao Yu, who was closest to them, to lose his balance and fall from the air.

Can not be done!

To go all out in a single strike—is this the legendary Righteous Qi Technique? Indeed, the gap between the Embracing Simplicity Realm and the Golden Core Realm isn't so easily bridged.

If things continue like this, let alone the chaotic ban on sea fishing, even survival will be a question.

Xiao Yu panicked upon realizing this, but fortunately he still had a backup plan.

"System, I'm in dire need of help! Quickly, send me something to save my life!"

"..."

"Points have been automatically deducted, and the item has been delivered."

bass!

A bright yellow talisman appeared in front of Xiao Yu. With his extensive knowledge, he recognized it at a glance as the Qiankun Escape Talisman.

nice one!

But what are points anyway?! Never mind, now's not the time to think about that.

Without a second thought, Xiao Yu grabbed the Qiankun Escape Talisman and popped a Spirit Recovery Pill into his mouth. He then let himself fall rapidly from the sky to the ground, narrowly dodging another attack from Tie Yanran. The moment he landed, he squeezed out the last drop of spiritual energy from his dantian to activate it.

In an instant, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the ground, disappearing under Tie Yanran's indignant gaze.

He also left behind the words: "I will definitely come back!"

"This bastard."

Tie Yanran gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

Well, as the saying goes, you can run away, but you can't hide. Xiao Yu will come back sooner or later. I'll just wait and see.

As for capturing Bai Yan to threaten Xiao Yu?

Ah!

Her sense of justice wouldn't allow her to do that, especially since she and Bai Yan had a good relationship.

Thanks to Xiao Yu, he laid an excellent foundation for the naturally aloof Bai Yan on Jumo Island. No one targeted her because of her strange personality; on the contrary, Bai Yan subtly became a mascot-like figure on Jumo Island.

At this moment, Bai Yan stood in the room, looking at the things Xiao Yu had left him on the bed, and his usually dull eyes trembled violently.

"master……"
