Preparations Before Returning to the Primordial World, Encountering an Old Acquaintance

He had been away from the Primordial World for too long; he had no idea how it was developing now.

Ling Xiao looked forward to it greatly, faint ripples stirring in his heart.

After staying away for so long, one could not help but miss home.

"Little White, do you still remember me?"

Ling Xiao rubbed the Origin-Devouring Beast's little head and asked with a smile.

Hearing that familiar form of address, the Origin-Devouring Beast froze. Confusion flashed through its big eyes, as if they were saying, Who the hell are you?

"Take a look at who I am..."

The corners of Ling Xiao's lips curled upward as he revealed his true face—dashing and unrestrained, handsome beyond compare.

"Devour... Devour..."

The Origin-Devouring Beast gave a jolt, visibly perking up. It was so excited its eyes nearly popped out, and it stuck out its tongue to vigorously rub against Ling Xiao's cheek.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I'll take you out of here."

Ling Xiao soothed its emotions, and with a swoosh, his figure vanished, fleeing into the distance.

Someone happened to discover that the thieves raiding the treasure vaults were a man and a woman. Thus, the infamous name of the Male and Female Bandits spread throughout the major factions.

Everyone was on edge, worrying that one day this pair of male and female bandits would suddenly pay a visit to their own treasure vault.
