Two days later.
Extreme Southern Sea Region, Heavenly Tiger Island.
Inside the mountain, Lu An took a deep breath, then slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground. Prince Qi, who had also been inside the mountain, immediately sensed it. Sitting on the stone bed, she immediately looked up at Lu An.
Prince Qi left the stone bed and instantly arrived before Lu An. He asked, "Are you done?"
"Mm." Lu An nodded and said seriously, "Thank you for this trip, Prince Qi."
Lu An was grateful from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Prince Qi, he wouldn't have been able to reach such a far place. He knew how dangerous it was for someone of Prince Qi's status to enter the second southern sea region. Although he owed Prince Qi many favors, he would never forget any of them and would definitely repay them.
Prince Qi naturally didn't care about Lu An's gratitude. Instead, she asked with concern, "Tell me, what have you experienced?"
To Lu An, Prince Qi was a very trustworthy person. Otherwise, Lu An wouldn't have put his life in Prince Qi's hands time and time again. He gave a rough account of his trip, from being swept into the flood to the central continent, being discovered by the Megalosaurus underground, all the way to the core region, and even finding the underground space and palace. However, he didn't mention that he had defeated the eight Dragon Kings, nor did he mention that he had encountered the white-robed man in the palace. The entire process was downplayed, and it didn't sound thrilling at all.
This could be considered Lu An's ability. Even if it was dangerous, it would be as ordinary as eating a meal from his mouth.
However, Prince Qi definitely wouldn't believe that this trip had been easy just because of Lu An's words. On the contrary, she could imagine how dangerous it had been. He must have narrowly escaped death.
"Then where are you going now?" Prince Qi asked. "Are you going back to the Ice Fire Union? Your women must miss you very much. "
"I am going back," Lu An said softly. "But before that, I need to go to a place first."
"A place?" Prince Qi was startled. "Where are you going?"
"I met someone on the way," Lu An said. "She helped me a lot. I promised to go back."

On an isolated island in the second southern sea region.
This was truly an isolated island. It was so isolated that not only was there only one life form on this huge island, even the surrounding sea was the same. Within a radius of over a thousand miles, there was not a single sentient being, not even an ordinary sea creature. Within a thousand miles, there was only this lone island and a single figure.
It was afternoon, and the sun was gradually setting in the west. A figure was sitting on the beach, watching the sea wash over the beach again and again, but gradually moving away, as if it was also moving away from her.
It was getting dark again.
Wan'er pursed her lips. She scooped up the sand next to her and watched with her beautiful eyes.
It had been a month and eleven days since she had parted with that person, and she had stayed on this beach for a full month and eleven days, not taking a single step away.
This was the beach where that person had fainted. This was the beach where she had met him. Wan'er was worried that if she entered the island, he would think that she was not there. So, she had been guarding this place.
However, that person had never appeared until now.
Wan'er was a little sad.
She did not know what that person wanted to do and how long it would take for him to come. After so many days and nights on the beach, she could not help but be pessimistic. That person did not want to be friends with her and was lying to her.
Thinking of this, Wan'er's eyes turned red.
She was not lying. When she first saw that person, she felt a sense of closeness. Her heart could not help but want to get closer to him. That person becoming her first friend was the happiest thing since she had lost her parents. She did not want to lose this feeling.
Could it be … that that person broke into the central continent and something happened to him?
No, no, no! Definitely not! Even if that person lied to her, nothing could happen to him!
Wan'er shook her head. Because she was using too much strength, her soft hair danced, but it quickly calmed down. She watched as the sky darkened bit by bit. Soon, the stars would come. She had memorized this starry sky a long time ago, so she could not be more familiar with it.
She did not want to look at the stars anymore.
Wan'er looked at the sand in her hands. It had completely flowed away, leaving only some residue stuck to her hands. Her eyes turned even redder. She bent her legs and hugged her knees tightly, burying her head in them.
The sky darkened.
Night fell, and the stars came as expected.
The tide went away. She did not even dare to let herself leave her body. She did not dare to open her eyes and welcome the darkness.
However …
At this moment, a blue light suddenly appeared. It passed through the gaps in her body and shone on her eyes.
Wan'er's body shook as if she had been hit by something. She raised her head as fast as she could and turned to look at the light!
Under the stars and the moon, against the blue light, a figure was walking towards her step by step.
An indescribable sense of closeness appeared. Under the blue light, Wan'er's beautiful face was filled with shock and shock.
"Miss Wan'er." Lu An left a row of footprints on the beach. He looked at Wan'er and said seriously, "Sorry, I'm late."
"…"
Tears instantly slid down Wan'er's cheeks. Wan'er immediately stood up. She wanted to rush to Lu An and hug him, but her body froze on the spot.
She was afraid that she would be rash and ruin this hard-won relationship.
Wan'er could only stand at her spot. She lifted her sand-stained hands to wipe her tears. She beamed a happy smile. "There's no need to be sorry between friends. It's good that you're here!"
Lu An looked at Wan'er. Because she was wiping her tears, her face was covered in sand. She looked distressed with her tears. He couldn't understand Wan'er's feelings, and he couldn't imagine her past. However, he knew that Wan'er had helped him. She had risked her life to help him. He would never forget this favor.
"I've finished what I came here to do," Lu An said seriously. "Do you want to go with me?"
"Yes!" Wan'er almost rushed to answer him. She even took a step forward.
Lu An nodded, talking gently. "Then let's go. I'll take you … to make more friends."

Ice Fire Union, an underground space of the Eight Ancient Continents.
According to the original plan, the Ice Fire Union should change their hiding place every two months. However, this time, they hadn't changed for five months. It was actually very dangerous. However, the reason why Liu Yi did that was simple. She was afraid that Lu An couldn't find the way home. After he got through the Teleport Formation, he would find nothing. She was worried.
Liu Yi had been sitting in her office. She rarely went back to her private pavilion. Since Lu An had left, the communication between her family members had decreased significantly. It didn't mean that their relationship was fading. It was just that after Lu An had left, no one had the mood to talk. Seeing each other would only worsen their worries. Being apart would make them feel better.
After all, this family needed Lu An to support it.
Liu Yi was tired. She gently laid on the table to rest. She didn't know when Lu An would come back. She also didn't know if Lu An knew that she was missing him.
Buzz — —
A flow of aura suddenly appeared. Immediately, Liu Yi, who had just laid down, was shaken. She sat up in fright!
Then, she didn't hesitate to rush out of her office, dashing to her private pavilion as fast as she could!
She wasn't the only one who did that. The other six women did the same.
The seven women all rushed to the source of the aura at their fastest speed. It was a big hall in the private pavilion. When they arrived at their fastest speed, they saw the man they had been thinking about day and night.
Lu An!
It's really Lu An! He's finally back!
The seven women's eyes reddened. However, when they were about to rush into Lu An's arms, they suddenly saw a figure walking out of the Teleport Formation that hadn't been closed yet.
It was … a beautiful figure!
So beautiful!
The seven women immediately froze. They took a deep breath, looking at the woman and then at Lu An!
This … What's going on?
