The next day.
Early morning.
Under the exceedingly languid, reluctant gazes of Pei Yiman and the others, Ling Wuyuan finally dragged himself out of bed through sheer force of will.
He first stretched his weary body after a night of exertion, then greeted the people still lying in bed:
"I'm heading out to deal with those sea folk~"
Hearing that.
Bai Jingshu, who had long known what he was going to do that morning, merely yawned and glanced absently at the sky outside the window before asking:
"About when will you be back?"
"Should we prepare breakfast or lunch for you in advance?"
The reason she did not mention dinner.
Was simply because she did not think dealing with those sea folk would take Ling Wuyuan that long at all.
She felt that if he moved quickly enough, Ling Wuyuan would probably even make it back for breakfast.
...From that perspective.
In her eyes, Ling Wuyuan going out to deal with those sea folk was roughly as difficult as taking a stroll outside in the morning.
To be fair.
Bai Jingshu was not looking down on those sea folk.
After all, they did have an expert whose strength had reached the [Heart Domain Realm].
But... everything feared comparison, did it not?
Even though Ling Wuyuan had only recently advanced to the [Heart Domain Realm] and was still a newcomer there, could he possibly be the same as other cultivators?

Even at this very moment.
Or rather, even at the instant he had just advanced.

His strength was beyond all doubt.
