The sunlight over Warm Moon Lake was always so pleasant and comfortable. Though three suns shone together, they were far enough away that ordinary living beings did not find the heat scorching.
White Egret had recently given himself a name.
The Island Master was called Qin Heng, so he presumptuously borrowed a character from his name and called himself Qin Bai.
As one of Warm Moon Mountain's only two native inhabitants, and with his connection to the Island Master, Qin Bai was someone everyone in Warm Moon Lake both respected and feared. Whether they were stronger or weaker than him, none failed to treat him politely upon meeting him.
Two hundred days and nights had passed in the Evergreen Realm since he took human form, and he had gradually grown accustomed to living in a human body.
That day, Qin Bai was a guest in the Turtle Snake Palace at the bottom of the lake. Snake Princess and Turtle Prince drank fine wine with him, laughing as they chatted about all manner of interesting happenings beneath heaven and earth.
Snake Princess said, "Brother Qin Bai, you're only one step away from the divine realm. Why not ask your Island Master to grant you a little opportunity? Once you become a god, we can travel outside together, temper ourselves through adventure, and experience the wondrous journey of cultivators."
Qin Bai waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no. The Island Master cannot be disturbed while cultivating. He has already granted me an opportunity, and I still haven't fully understood the things he taught me. To disturb him again would truly be greed without end."
Turtle Prince teased, "Brother Qin Bai is as honest as ever. By the way, I heard you say that two great experts have recently arrived on Lake Heart Island.
