Qin Xiao clicked his tongue, his face filled with regret and pity.

"Xiao Qin, let's go back. I'm a little tired."

Ye Qingya spoke softly above Qin Xiao's head, and Qin Xiao nodded.

The two returned to the Adventurers' Guild, to the third floor of Slovic's building, which, in addition to offices, also had all the necessary living facilities.

Ye Qingya jumped off the head, her face still slightly flushed, and walked directly towards the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower first. Xiao Qin, see if there's anything to eat."

After saying this, Ye Qingya quickened her pace and disappeared through the doorway of Xiao Qi's bedroom.

Qin Xiao didn't find anything unusual; he simply began to examine the food provided by the Adventurers' Guild.

Although there is still food in my space, which Ilya could cook and take out to eat, there is no need for it.

Qin Xiao summoned the Spider Steward and, after communicating with him, decided on the type of dinner.

Soon, the food was served. Qin Xiao sat at the small table, looking at the two cuts of meat and the special fruit in front of him.

There is also milk produced by a female cow, a specialty of the Beast Spirit Realm, which is said to be highly nutritious and tastes delicious.

These cows are considered to be a species with a very high social status; without a certain level of power and influence, it's practically impossible to get their hands on them.

Although Qin Xiao was somewhat reluctant at the thought of the other party being a humanoid beast girl, he decided to give it a try after the strong recommendation of the spider manager.

Just as she was about to pick up her cup, the door opened and Ye Qingya walked in.

Qin Xiao stared in disbelief at the steaming Ye Qingya in front of him.

Ye Qingya was only wearing a nightgown with large openwork areas, and except for her vital parts, almost everything was barely visible. Her skin was slightly pink from just taking a shower.

"Mayor, Qingya, what's wrong...?"

Qin Xiao stammered as he asked.

Ye Qingya blushed, "My pajamas are all gone. I looked in Xiaoqi's closet, and all her clothes... are this style..."

Qin Xiao suddenly realized that when he first met Slovic, the man's simple clothes had also greatly shocked him.

Who knew Slovic had such an exhibitionist streak?

That's not right either. People wear pajamas at home and can wear whatever they want.

"Ahem, Sister Qingya, you should try it. It's said to be the Adventurers' Guild's top-of-the-line package."

Qin Xiao subtly changed the subject.

Ye Qingya sat down awkwardly, her hips bent, and her skirt, which was so short it couldn't be held down, simply rode up.

Fortunately, the table blocked his view, so Qin Xiao couldn't see clearly.

Ye Qingya wanted to grab her things and leave to go back to her room to eat, but for some reason, she inexplicably stayed behind.

While awkwardly eating, she also had to be careful not to expose herself to the openwork and lace parts.

This meal was a thrilling experience, leaving her with a blush on her cheeks.

Inside the secret realm, Bai Ling ate fruit and mumbled something.

“Master, there’s something wrong with this woman. Maybe if you just snap your fingers, she can join our game tonight.”

Cough cough cough.

Qin Xiao took a sip of milk and almost choked to death.

"Bai Ling, you better eat properly."

"Tch, you stinky master, I'll drain you dry tonight!"

Qin Xiao ignored her. Ever since she took human form, Bai Ling has become increasingly unrestrained.

Soon, Ye Qingya finished eating, spoke with Qin Xiao for a while with barely managing to remain calm, and then hurriedly left.

Pressing down her skirt, Ye Qingya returned to her room and immediately pounced on the large bed, burying herself in the soft blankets.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She was already a forty-year-old woman, so why was she still acting like a little girl?

The following morning.

Qin Xiao was woken up by the knocking, looking exhausted. He pushed Bai Ling and Ilya off him and went to open the door.

Slovic stood outside the door, glanced at her, and his face flushed slightly.

"Master, the task is complete. We can prepare to leave now."

Slovic took out three Transformation Fruits and said to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao yawned. "Oh, is that so? Go and call the mayor, and let's pack up and leave."

Slovic nodded, took the fruit, and left.

Qin Xiao turned around and went back inside, giving Bai Ling a hard slap on the bottom.

"Get up!"

As he spoke, he went to the washroom on his own.

Bai Ling opened her eyes, glanced at Ilya beside her, blushed, and returned to her demon realm space embarrassedly.

Ilya also quietly returned to her demon realm space.

After Qin Xiao finished washing up, he was not surprised to find the room empty. There was no deliberate control involved; they could come and go as they pleased when they were close by.

Soon, Slovic arrived at the room.

"Master, could you please help me store all these things in my spatial storage?" Slovich requested.

Qin Xiao looked around the room and pondered for a moment.

"Here's what I'll do. I'll use Jianmu to create a one-to-one replica of this floor for you, and then I'll put everything inside. You can pack it up yourself."

Slovic's face lit up with joy, and he happily kissed Qin Xiao on the cheek.

"That's great, Master, thank you."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "Beast Tamer and Master, there's no need for us to be so formal with each other."

As he spoke, he began to control the Jianmu wood to generate in the demon realm of Slovic.

Slovic's demon realm is similar to Ilya's demon realm.

The whole thing is a huge mountain peak, and in the middle of the mountain is a clear lake.

On the flat ground by the lake on the mountainside, Qin Xiao began to control the Jianmu tree to deform and solidify according to the shape of this layer.

Soon, a room covering several hundred square meters was set up here, and Qin Xiao then put everything on this floor into his spatial storage.

"Alright, Xiaoqi, you can take care of the rest yourself."

Qin Xiao looked at the empty room and said to Slovic.

Ye Qingya had also finished getting ready. After meeting up with Qin Xiao, the two headed towards the encampment.

After a basic check in the teleportation hall, Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya stepped onto the teleportation portal.

This time, we didn't encounter General Hu. According to Slovic, the other party seemed to be in the palace.

After a slight dizziness, Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya returned to the teleportation hall.

Although he knew there was no difference, Qin Xiao still felt that the air here was sweeter.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

I really don't know how those beast tamers who guard the secret realm year after year manage to survive.

Perhaps it's because he was too young and spent most of his life here, that he developed a kind of path dependence.

As we get older and visit and stay in more hidden places, the feeling won't be as strong anymore.

Especially after those anchors of past memories—friends, school, buildings, etc.—have all changed.

Perhaps that's why I don't feel such a strong attachment to Earth anymore.

Eager to return home, even though no one was waiting for him at home, he and Ye Qingya hurriedly went to the teleportation portal and returned directly to Qingzhou City.

In the Beast Taming Department of Qingzhou, Ye Qingya, who had just stepped out of the teleportation portal, was tightly embraced by Ye Qinghuan.

"Mom, you're back!"

Ye Qinghuan cheered happily, and Ye Qingya also hugged her daughter with a smile.

Qin Xiao watched from the side and said, "Sister Qingya, I'll head back now. I'll go to the Spirit Contract Association tomorrow to sell resources, and then we'll discuss it further."

Ye Qingya released her daughter. "Xiao Qin, you handle it. If it's not easy to sell in a short time, don't rush. I'll also look around my network to see if there are any good channels."

"Okay, then I'll go first, Sister Qingya, Classmate Qinghuan, I'll go first."

Qin Xiao waved goodbye, mounted Ilya, and headed home.

At the entrance of the hall, Ye Qinghuan looked at Ye Qingya with a suspicious expression, her face clouded over.

"Sister Qingya? My dear mother, you didn't really date a younger man, did you?!"
