Xu Yi glanced at the crimson sky and thought, Good thing Bai Jizi came to call me. Otherwise, I might really have ended up trapped here.
He had read the ancient records and knew that when a secret realm like this was sealed again, such strange celestial phenomena would appear.
"Now that everyone's here, let's go. Brother Qin, hurry and launch the boat."
Xu Yi urged him impatiently.
Qin Kong clasped his hands. "There's no need to launch it. The spatial restriction has been lifted. Our fellow cultivators are all flying through the void, crossing this Sea of Resentment."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
As he spoke, Xu Yi took the lead, carrying Hu Hu.
The others all grumbled inwardly at almost the same time: If our lives weren't in your hands, who'd be crazy enough to wait for you?
Xu Yi had no interest in guessing at the resentment in Qin Kong and the others' hearts. Along the way, he played with Hu Hu, telling him about the colorful world outside. He also told him about Qiu Wa and A Li, and asked whether Hu Hu was willing to leave with him.
"Hu, hu..."
Hu Hu went "hu" nonstop as they traveled, his delight plain to see as he fluttered around Xu Yi.
In the world of Guangcheng Immortal Mansion, he had spent countless millennia in solitude. At long last, he had met Xu Yi, and though they had known each other for only one day, it had been the most colorful day of his life.
Xu Yi meant more to him than anyone else ever could.
That was why Hu Hu had risked his life to block Liu Ziyi's sword for Xu Yi.
In truth, Hu Hu himself had no concept of risking his life.
