There are five medium-sized islands surrounding Sea God Bay.

These "islands," which are far more expansive than the Main Continent of ordinary Low-Level Plane, are the dwelling and living places specially prepared by the native Knight and Mage of the Western Islands for Bixi's large family.

In addition to five medium-sized islands, there are as many as twenty-one small islands around Sea God Bay, and the number of micro-islands, Li Island and Chain Island exceeds three hundred.

In short, the total area of this region is comparable to, or even exceeds, that of a typical Medium Plane.

This special area, which even a century of exploration might not have been enough for Saine to reach its end, is the home of Bixi.

The name "Sea God Bay" signifies the special significance of this inland sea area within the Western Islands.

After arriving in Sea God Bay, the Bixi's speed in the ocean was noticeably faster than before.

Like an arrow speeding across the ocean, the Bixi's current speed was seriously disproportionate to its enormous size.

Those sea creatures that had followed Bixi from the Western Ocean of the Western Ocean to the Western Islands did not approach any closer after reaching the Sea God Bay.

For those sea creatures, Sea God Bay is a sacred place in their hearts, an inviolable existence.

In Sea God Bay of the Western Islands, only certain species and common fish can swim freely.

No sea creature may freely enter or leave Sea God Bay. →

It was not only due to the orders of the superior sea creatures, but also driven by their own beliefs.

The waters of Sea God Bay are calm; there are no terrifying hurricanes or whirlpools in the deep ocean.

The entire ocean was sparkling, giving people a very pleasant feeling.

Even Saine couldn't help but stretch when he saw this sea level.

Bixi seemed very familiar with everything about Sea God Bay.

After all, it grew up here, and Bixi can point out what's fun and what's special about it.

Having spent some time with Saine, Bixi has gradually come to understand what Saine is curious about.

One after another, a whole bunch of marine products that it had used when it was a child, or that it thought would be useful to Saine, were unearthed from the seabed by the Bixi and presented to Saine.

Saine currently has about twenty Space Equipment, but in the end, they were all filled with Bixi.

Through the Bixi, Saine felt a deep sense of friendship and hospitality.

When even Yuli filled up her Constructed Magic Puppet's Space Equipment to the point where it was almost full and could hardly hold anything else, Saine finally stopped Bixi's actions in time.

Saine was indeed touched by Bixi's actions, but he also found it somewhat amusing.

Because of the many things that Bixi brought out, Saine couldn't figure out their specific value. →

For example Saine Saine a colorful conch shell about twenty meters long.

This colorful conch shell was Bixi's "toy" when she was a child.

When this "toy" was close to filling the container of Yuli's Constructed Magic Puppet.

There was Saine no extra space for the more valuable underwater pearls and amber.

These underwater pearls and amber are certainly not ordinary items.

The rich Water Element on these pearls, which are larger than an average human head, indicates that they are absolutely top-quality marine resources.

As a sacred place revered by billions of sea creatures in the Wizard World, Sea God Bay must have plenty of treasures.

Those that Bixi was chosen as a toy when it was young are probably not simple.

Previously, Saine had been somewhat smug about acquiring the Spoils of War of a Second-Level Black Magician.

But now that he's come to the Western Islands with Bixi, he knows what it means to be rich and willful.

Including Saine, who has always been considered wealthy, at least his wealth of tens of thousands of Magic Coin is something that ordinary first or Second-Level Magician cannot possess.

But only now, after receiving these Bixi gifts, can he truly be called "rich".

Many items that Saine couldn't discern the value of were rare treasures in the Wizard World, items that were priceless and unavailable for purchase.

Including that conch shell that seemed unremarkable to Saine, its predecessor was a Void Snail Mother with rare Space Element abilities.

It was a pet that Bixi's Second Brother casually caught and gave to Bixi to keep as a plaything when he was traveling through the Star Realm.

However, the Void Snail Mother was severely incompatible with the plane properties of the Wizard World. After arriving in the Wizard World, it died within a few hundred years, leaving only an empty shell with powerful spatial properties.

When I was little, I used to play with Bixi by blowing on it a lot.

Saine didn't understand the colorful conch shell because he wasn't knowledgeable enough and hadn't climbed inside to take a look.

Otherwise, the spatial properties contained in this conch shell would be enough to excite an alchemist like Saine to the point of fainting.

Besides, even if the things that Bixi gives away don't have much practical value.

He only needed to subtly reveal to the sea creatures that these "toys" were things Bixi used when he was a child.

Those high-ranking sea creatures who possess an entire ocean as their core resource will use massive amounts of Magic Coin to purchase from Saine.

Those high-ranking sea creatures buy such items naturally for collection purposes.

Because of his experience traversing parts of the South Sea and crossing the Western Sea with Bixi, this Level-1 Magician, Saine, is at least considered a prominent figure among some of the higher-ups of the sea race.

If he were to use the gifts from the Bixi to swindle people, there's a good chance he'd succeed.

Of course, Saine himself did not have such thoughts.

He also didn't yet know the exact value of the gift that Bixi had given him, which contained more than twenty pieces of Space Equipment.

If Saine's mentor Luluman, were here, she would probably be eager to grab Saine and shamelessly beg Bixi for even more gifts.

These gifts represent more than just resources and Magic Coin; they also signify that the tens of millions of Magic Coin in loans that Luluman is carrying will be easier to repay in the future.

"I thought all dragons were greedy, but I didn't expect you to be an exception," Saine remarked bluntly.

When communicating with Bixi, you have to be straightforward, because Bixi won't understand if you beat around the bush.

"Hmm, it does hurt a little to give you all my treasures."

"But we're 'friends,' aren't we?"

"Moreover, these things are only a small part of my collection," Bixi said, exhaling two puffs of white steam from her nose.

Saine gained a new understanding of the value of Bixi.

In the spirit of reciprocity, Saine also planned to give Bixi a gift before parting ways.

However, before Saine could even mention it, towering white waves suddenly rose from the distant sea.

It's not normal for such a calm sea to have a series of towering waves.

Upon seeing this, before Saine could even ask, Bixi excitedly said, "It's my third sister!"
