Within the secret realm, atop the clouds, a White Giant Dragon stretched for thousands of miles flickered in and out of sight.
A steady drizzle fell as floating clouds and pale mist accompanied the dark mountains. Rainwater gathered into streams, washing hollows into the gray rocks. At lower elevations, it formed cascading waterfalls, only to scatter into clouds again midway down. In the broad valley, a floating island shaped like a wrecked ship hovered silently in the rain, water dripping in lines from all its edges. The vegetation in the shadows below suffered for it—either battered until branches snapped and leaves rotted, or dried up and withered away.
Beside the thatched hut on the floating island.
Qiu Qi, looking sacred and elegant, calmly planted flowers and grass.
Dense lines of energy suddenly appeared across the spacious clearing, swiftly constructing a Teleportation Array. Qiu Qi merely glanced at it before continuing to tend her flowers. The only one who could build a teleportation bridge here was the master of the secret realm. If she did not busy herself with flowers, was she supposed to greet them with a warm face?
Once the teleportation bridge was complete, a strange sight appeared.
A dried corpse entangled by the Six-Winged Strange Snake, a battered ancient lantern with a murky flame, a big-headed fat tiger with stiff eyes, and that most mysterious individual.
Six-Winged was unsurprised to find itself back in the secret realm.
Its tail loosened, releasing the gaunt Lantern Monster.
Having waited all along for an opportunity, the Lantern Monster immediately used an Evasion Technique and fled, charging straight toward the Outer Void.
Bai Yujun was still deep in thought. Six-Winged greeted Qiu Qi, while Qiu Qi watched the desperately fleeing Lantern Monster with pity in her eyes. Only Fat Tiger seemed off.
