Qin Xiao was joking around with a smile, unaware of the immense harm he was causing others.

Ye Qinghuan trusted him, but felt abandoned and mocked.

All I can say is that he's not a human being.

Sensing faint crying sounds coming from the link, Qin Xiao panicked.

Holy crap, did this make you cry?

"Hey, Huanhuan, don't worry, I was just kidding. I wouldn't let you run around like that. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The place you're going to is my beast-taming world, an absolutely private and safe secret realm. Don't be afraid.

Ye Qinghuan was on the verge of tears, but upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, she asked a question as if possessed.

"My mom hasn't come either?"

Forehead...

"No, no, Sister Qingya hasn't come yet."

Ye Qinghuan seemed to have thought of something, and stopped the little pearl from falling. Instead, she looked around at the world with even more curiosity.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao simply told Qian Yun to hurry up and try to open the portal.

A virtual portal opened right next to him and Ye Qinghuan.

Qin Xiao stepped forward and entered.

They reappeared in the original tree realm of Jianmu.

He exclaimed in amazement, "That's really amazing! They can even open the gate directly into the primordial tree realm of Jianmu!"

Although he had ordered Jianmu to open the gate and place the beacon into this primordial tree realm, he was still somewhat amazed.

With this new strategy, it's safe to say that there will be virtually no situation that can trap him.

Except for space-based systems, which are strictly prohibited.

As soon as Qin Xiao appeared, Ye Qinghuan rushed over, "Brother Xiao! You scared me to death!"

Qin Xiao's movements were stiff, and he subconsciously looked around to see if anyone else was there.

The thought that he was the only one who would enter through the portal brought him a sense of relief.

Not knowing whether to hold her in my arms or not, I said, "Ahem, Huanhuan, let's go out."

Ye Qinghuan lowered her head. "No, I want to see more. What, my mom isn't here, what are you afraid of!?"

What does that mean?

Qin Xiao was a little flustered. "Well, what we were saying was that if we stay too long, Sister Qingya will get anxious."

Ye Qinghuan let go of him and looked at his nervous face.

"I have no relation to my mother, so you don't need to be nervous."

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is this?" Qin Xiao was completely dumbfounded. "What do you mean I have no relation to my mother?"

However, Ye Qinghuan clearly didn't want to explain, and finally revealed some of her usual charming temper, walking with her hands behind her back on the flower and grass.

"Brother Xiao, is this all your world?"

Qin Xiao couldn't quite understand the other person's motives, so he followed behind her.

"Yes, this whole place belongs to me. There's another world down here, Bu Feifei's world, and now that belongs to me too."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghuan summoned her Totoro, sat on its back, and ran towards the edge.

"Brother Xiao, I want to go see!"

Qin Xiao ran after him for a while, then said, "Hey, wait a minute, you don't need to go to all that trouble."

Ye Qinghuan stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Qin Xiao shook his head and had Jianmu open a portal. On the other side, right next to the tree spirit underground.

Although this primordial tree realm isn't very large, it's still about half the size of a continent. Relying on molting to reach the border would be too far.

As they entered the portal, Ye Qinghuan, with her high ponytail swaying back and forth, kept looking up at the sky.

He stared in awe at the Primal Tree Realm high in the sky.

"Brother Xiao, you're amazing!"

Qin Xiao touched his nose, forcibly resisting the tempting urge to tug at the other person's high ponytail.

"It's alright, just average..."

Ye Qinghuan suddenly turned her head, "Brother Xiao, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could always live here..."

Qin Xiao's smile froze on his face. How was he supposed to respond to that?

However, Ye Qinghuan didn't embarrass him. Instead, she smiled slyly and said, "I was just kidding. Even if you're willing, I'm not. My mom would strangle me if she did."

Whew~

For some reason, Qin Xiao felt a sense of relief, but he was also a little afraid to face her.

Normally a slightly arrogant, independent young woman, she seems unusually... alluring today.

"Well, let's go out. I'm worried that Qingya and the others are getting anxious."

Qin Xiao immediately made a suggestion, and Ye Qinghuan tapped her chin with her finger, "Okay, but you have to bring me in next time!"

Qin Xiao didn't care about any of that anymore, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely do it next time!"

Let's just brush this off for now. It's too embarrassing. Besides, who knows, maybe she'll come in with Qingya next time to do something naughty. Why would I bring you along?!

As they spoke, Jianmu opened the passage again, and the two of them left the secret realm one after the other.

Ye Qingya, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked at the two of them suspiciously.

My daughter looked sullen and preoccupied, but suddenly she seemed to be in a much better mood?

Qin Xiao dared not look into her eyes.

"Ahem, it seems that Qianyun's skills are quite useful now. From now on, you should keep these two jade tokens close to your body."

"If you need anything, just call Qianyun through the link, and I'll receive it. I can also use jade to teleport you to your side!"

Now, Qin Xiao no longer needs to worry about the safety of those around him.

Furthermore, tactics can be rationally arranged in the future, and one's own beasts can be deployed separately.

After all, being able to contact and meet up at any time brings about tremendous changes.

After a couple of awkward exchanges, Qin Xiao couldn't continue. If it were only Ye Qingya, he could still act like a hooligan; if it were only Ye Qinghuan, he could still ramble on and on.

Now that the three monks have no water to drink, they should just leave.

So, using spiritual practice as an excuse, he immediately slipped away.

Back on the second floor, I felt a chill run down my spine.

Qin Xiao began to ponder whether agreeing to take the two of them with him on the upcoming trip to the secret realm was a major mistake.

The thought of what would become of the woodcutter sent chills down his spine.

It shouldn't be that bad, I didn't do anything, and I'm not a jerk!

He shook his head, trying to banish these thoughts from his mind.

Currently, we still need to collect all the fusion resources for Yunyun, and we need to work harder to obtain the large amount of spirit crystals required for Jianmu.

After tomorrow's awards ceremony, it'll be almost time for the holiday.

When the time comes, I'll take the opportunity to go back to Qingzhou and finish my resignation with Sister Qingya. By then, the rewards from the Imperial Temple and the allocation of secret realms should be coming down.

Thinking about it this way, the future still looks promising.

Lost in thought, the day quickly passed.

The next morning, the wristband alarm clock frantically reminded him.

Qin Xiao got out of bed despite feeling tired.

Looking back at Slovic and Bu Feifei on the bed, he couldn't help but shiver...

A natural charmer, capable of ruthlessly exploiting one's inner self...

"Mommy, quickly give Master a sip of milk. I won't be able to hold my head up at the awards ceremony looking like this!"

Qin Xiao said with a sorrowful expression.
