The vast East Sea churned with rolling waves.
Wind and waves battered an unnamed island in the distance. Though evening had not yet arrived, the sky had already darkened.
As Fairy Tong Hua flew swiftly, she looked up and saw dense black clouds covering the top of the head—the sign that a violent storm was about to descend.
Irritation filled her heart, but her face remained placid. She soon arrived above the unnamed island and saw a person standing atop its highest peak, gazing out at sea and sky.
"Immortal Friend Ren, sorry to have kept you waiting." Tong Hua landed behind the Gu Immortal and gave a slight bow.
The mysterious Gu Immortal slowly turned around, revealing his appearance.
He was an old man with a high nose and narrow eyes. A calm smile hung on his face as he said, "No matter. I should also congratulate Fairy Tong Hua. I heard that all the Light Gu Mushroom stock you had piled up in Yellow Treasure Heaven was sold."
This Gu Immortal Old Man was none other than Ren Xiuping, a rank seven enslavement path Gu Immortal of the East Sea.
Fairy Tong Hua nodded and handed Ren Xiuping a large batch of Immortal Essence Stones.
After counting them, Ren Xiuping deliberately hesitated. "Fairy, if this old man's count is correct, the amount still falls a little short."
Fairy Tong Hua's expression darkened somewhat. She nodded. "I'll return most of it first. As for the remaining small portion, I can only repay it later."
Ren Xiuping gave a grunt. "Fairy's decision is indeed wise. According to the loan agreement we made, the less debt you owe, the less interest there will be. It seems Fairy will be able to clear her debts before long."
Fairy Tong Hua snorted coldly.
