Xiao Yi had Xuan Zi send the girls back to their residence first, while he still had an important private matter to attend to.
There was no need to worry about their safety. At least one hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was now guarding each of the girls.
Still, he had Zi Ling accompany them in case anything unexpected happened.
He always felt that Xuan Zi himself was the biggest unexpected factor.
Xuan Zi nodded lightly.
Now, he no longer had to worry that something might happen if Xiao Yi and Gu Yuena were left alone in the Star Dou Great Forest. All his concerns had finally been put to rest.
He leisurely took a bite from the chicken leg in his hand. Then, with a sweep of his vast Soul Power, he turned and departed with the girls.
The girls looked back and waved reluctantly. Xiao Yi smiled and raised a hand in reply, watching until their figures disappeared completely into the distance.
Once the surroundings had quieted down, he turned to look at Myriad Demon King, who stood silently waiting nearby.
"Let's go."
"Yes, my lord." Myriad Demon King bowed respectfully. He did not address him as Mistress; strictly speaking, he had already changed allegiances, though the masters on both sides were family.
The other ferocious beasts who had rushed over upon hearing the news were filled with curiosity. They followed closely behind the two as they headed deeper into the dense forest.
Before long, the group arrived at a tranquil marshland.
More precisely, this was a small lake branching out from the outskirts of the Lake of Life. The entire area had long been sealed off by Myriad Demon King's personal spiritual imprint and a thick barrier of Soul Power, cutting it off from all outside prying and disturbance.
