Late at night, Celestial Island.
The sea was calm, and the Celestial Island was peaceful. A waterfall flowed in the distance, and outside the wooden house, Beauty Yang and Yao sat around a brazier.
They both knew that today was the day Lu An would treat Yuerong, and that he would return to the Celestial Island after the treatment. However, they did not expect that he would not return so late. In a while, it would be the next day.
The two beauties sat on the grass, making the entire Celestial Island even more beautiful. Finally, after a while, a red teleportation array lit up in the air. The two women were shocked and immediately stood up.
Sure enough, Lu An walked out of the teleportation array and slowly landed in front of the two women.
Yao asked softly, "Is it over?"
"Mm." Lu An smiled and said, "It's completely over. I don't need to go to Heavenly Charm Island anymore."
Hearing Lu An's words, even Beauty Yang laughed happily. Temi people were places like that, and they did not want Lu An to go there.
However, the two women quickly noticed Lu An's slightly weak face, and Beauty Yang asked, "How is master?"
Lu An shook his head and smiled, "The treatment took too long, and I'm just a bit tired."
After saying that, Lu An looked at the two women and asked, "Have you two eaten dinner?"
The two women shook their heads. They did not need to eat, and they had been waiting for Lu An to return. How could they be in the mood to eat?
"When is master leaving?" Beauty Yang asked.
"Tomorrow morning, or noon at the latest." Lu An thought for a while and said, "I'm going to the Heart of Hell."
Hearing the words' Heart of Hell ', the two women looked worried. Although Beauty Yang was the one who suggested this place, she was still very worried.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Seeing the two women's worried expressions, Lu An smiled and said, "I've been busy for the whole day, so I'll rest tonight. We haven't left Sengoku for a long time, so let's go out for a walk. "
The two women were startled, and then they were very happy. Of course, they wanted to go out with Lu An. Although the Celestial Island was good, it would be boring if they stayed for too long.
It was just one night, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Midnight Country, Eight Ancient Continents.
The Midnight Kingdom still existed, but it had become a vassal state of someone else. But fortunately, life in the Midnight Kingdom wasn't destroyed. The cities didn't change much from before, which was already very commendable.
Midnight Kingdom, Tabukal region, the sky above.
Three figures stood at a height of ten thousand feet, overlooking the ground. These three people were none other than Lu An and his two wives.
Lu An didn't know where to take the two women for a stroll. The two women's experience was much higher than his. The ordinary world and beautiful scenery were not attractive to the two women. Lu An thought for a while and suddenly thought of bringing the two girls back to the place where he grew up. The two girls happily agreed.
Being able to understand Lu An's past was what the two women looked forward to the most.
However, when the two women stood in the sky above the Tabukal area, the joy on their faces disappeared and was replaced by a gloomy expression.
Lu An told them that Tabukal was the place where he grew up, and it was also the place where the slaves gathered. Although they felt heartache when they heard it, when they really stood here and looked down, they couldn't even say a word.
This Tabukal wasn't Tabukal. It was a completely barren place where even birds wouldn't shit. There were no forests, and the ground was bare. Even grass was hard to see. As far as the eye could see, there were tattered tents made of rags, which were basically unable to shelter them from the wind and rain. Not only that, there were many bare mountains that were lit with torches, which looked very gloomy in the darkness.
"Those are all mines." Lu An pointed at the places with torches and said, "There are many iron mines in the mountains nearby. The slaves who aren't sent out have to take turns to mine for food. They have to work for twenty and a half hours every day."
"Twenty and a half hours?" Yao was shocked. She hurriedly looked at Lu An and asked, "Can they bear it?"
One had to know that these were all ordinary people, not Heavenly Masters. Even Heavenly Masters couldn't bear to cultivate for twenty and a half hours every day!
"Some can, some can't." Lu An shook his head and said, "Many have died from exhaustion. Coupled with the mine disaster, no one will save them once it happens. They all die down there."
"…"
Yao and Beauty Yang were silent, not saying a word.
"There's a river ten miles away, called the Tomb River. Back then, I jumped into it to escape to Meteor Trail City." Lu An pointed to the distance and said calmly, "Skylight City is to the north. There's a very important canal in Skylight City, and there are many docks around it. When I was young, I often worked at the docks there."
"Is it safe?" Yao asked.
Lu An shook his head slightly and said, "There's no such thing as safe or not for slaves. Dozens of slaves drown at the docks every day."
"…"
Beauty Yang and Yao's expressions became even gloomier. Beauty Yang grew up in Purple Town Sect. There were only disciples in the sect, and no slaves. After she built Purple Lake City, there were no slaves in Purple Lake City, so she didn't understand the lives of slaves.
As for Yao … She basically never left Sengoku, so it was even more impossible for her to understand slaves.
"Can't we run?" Yao asked again, her voice trembling.
"Run? That's too difficult. " Lu An shook his head gently and said, "In Tabukal, slaves over the age of 14 will be branded. Slaves who are bought will also be branded. With this brand, they will not be able to get rid of their identity for the rest of their lives. Once they are found to be a slave who has defected, even if they are commoners, they have the right to execute them on the spot. "
"…"
Hearing Lu An's calm tone and relaxed actions, Beauty Yang and Yao's heart ached.
"If possible, I will try to change everything." Lu An suddenly said.
The two women were stunned, looking at Lu An's face. They noticed that Lu An's eyes were very calm, looking down at the slave district below. The fire seemed to be reflected in his eyes.
"How?" Beauty Yang subconsciously asked.
"Starting from the source." Lu An calmly said, "Everything has to be changed. When I have the same strength as the Hachiko clan."
"…"
Beauty Yang and Yao were even more shocked, looking at Lu An for a long time without saying anything.
That's right, although Lu An's eyes were calm, it did not mean that he did not care. From the beginning to the end, from the time he left Tabukal until now, a full six years had passed. He had never forgotten his past, and his hatred towards slavery.
Taking a deep breath, Lu An turned to the two women and said, "You two have never been to Meteor Trail city, let me bring you to take a look."
The two women nodded. They both wanted to leave this place, because they did not dare to imagine Lu An's past life.
Not long after, the three of them flew to the sky above Meteor Trail city. Even though it was late at night, there were no pedestrians on the streets. But every household hung a lantern in front of their door, like the stars in the sky. The entire city was brightly lit, and was extremely beautiful.
"This is Meteor Trail city." Lu An smiled, pointing below and said, "That is Meteor Trail academy, the first time I came into contact with a Heavenly Master. Over there is the Central Commercial Street, where sister Yi's original Alkaid Chamber of Commerce was. "
Listening to Lu An's introduction, the two women were attracted. The two women had never been to Meteor Trail city, so they were very interested.
"Let's go to the academy and take a look." Yao said with anticipation.
"Alright." Lu An smiled and nodded. The three of them flew down and soon arrived at the field.
Standing on this piece of land once again, it had already been four years. Lu An looked at the familiar buildings and everything around him. Everything here seemed to have happened yesterday.
"There is a mountain range over there, called the Gongxu Mountain Range. Our academy's students and even teachers often go there to hunt exotic beasts." Lu An smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you this, but back then, I was chased by a Class 1 exotic beast and was almost killed."
Hearing Lu An's words, the two women wanted to laugh, but they could not. The three of them walked quietly in the academy, and Lu An introduced the buildings here to the two women.
"Where does master live?" Beauty Yang asked.
Lu An was startled. He knew that the two women knew that he and Fu Yu were roommates. He deliberately did not mention this point, but he did not expect Beauty Yang to bring it up.
Yao also looked at Lu An. Compared to Fu Yu, she was more interested to know where Lu An used to live.
Fu Yu was a person that could not be avoided, so Yao and Beauty Yang did not think of escaping.
Looking at the two women's eyes, Lu An did not refuse, and brought the two women to the dormitory area. Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a dormitory. But what made Lu An astonished was that his former dormitory was surrounded by a fence, and even a stone tablet.
"Meteor Trail Hero – 'Lu An' Dormitory." Beauty Yang read it out, and smiled at Lu An, "Seems like master's reputation here is very high!"
Lu An smiled awkwardly, and scratched his head. This should be the stone tablet that he used to help resist the rebel army.
At this moment, a firm voice suddenly rang out from behind the three of them.
"Who are you? What are you doing here so late at night?! "
