"I was forced into this situation," Huai sighed dramatically. "How about this, the two of us cooperate."

Xia Xiang glanced at him distrustfully but remained silent. She wanted to hear what other nonsense he had to spout.

"Stay here for a few days and get your internal injuries and head wound treated. Once those old men have lowered their guard and I've finished my own business, I'll quietly let you go."

Huai'an raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, to thank you for cooperating with me, I can grant you one request."

"It didn't have to be this complicated," Xia Xiang glared at him, her teeth clenched, as if she wanted to bite his neck off. "How about you take me back now, and I'll grant you one request?"

"Xiao Xiangxiang, I've run out of patience. If you don't cooperate, I have other methods." Huai'an put away his previously gentle expression, straightened up, and looked down at the little girl with her brows furrowed.

"Heh—" Xia Xiang relaxed her furrowed brows and gave a mocking laugh, "Can I not cooperate?"

His reminder was correct. Judging from their behavior, they wouldn't harm her. She had no memory, nowhere to go, and couldn't find her family, so she had no choice but to stay here for the time being.

"Good girl~" Huai'an smiled again when he saw her give in. He released her from her restraints and reached out to rub her head, but Xia Xiang turned her head away and was slapped hard.

"Get lost!" Xia Xiang glared at him and walked towards the auditorium.

The two of them slowly walked back to the hall.

When Elder Chang saw Xia Xiang return with a calm expression, he knew that the two had reached an agreement.

"Take her downstairs and settle her in. She'll start studying with the new islanders tomorrow. Huai'an will stay here," Elder Chang instructed, and someone naturally took Xia Xiang out.

"Huai'an boy, you promised to bring Xia Xiang back, but I never expected you to bring her back like this!" Elder Chang's beard trembled uncontrollably, clearly furious.

"You actually lied to a child! This is child trafficking, the act of a kidnapper!"

Huai'an didn't care at all, "Just tell me whether I brought it back or not."

"You've ruined the reputation of my Demon-Slaying Island!" Elder Pang accused. "And what are you wearing! It's utterly inappropriate!"

"Shall I take it back to her now?" Huai'an asked, completely ignoring Elder Pang's accusations, as he dusted off imaginary dust from his black suit.

The elders fell silent. "Well... there's no need for that!"

Although the process was not ideal, the result was still a happy one, and now it's her own decision.

Xia Xiang is protected by the power of light, and is a natural nemesis of darkness and monsters.

They had been to the Iron Dimension when Xia Xiang was born, but the leader of the alliance firmly refused. In addition, since the Swift Walker was also there, they decided to give him face.

This time, however, it wasn't them who did it; it was Xia Xiang who "voluntarily" came to Demon Island with Huai'an.

"Then remember what the elders promised me," Huai'an reminded the old folks.

"Of course, but once you embark on that path, you'll have to rely on yourself; we can't offer any help." Although the elders were not satisfied with Huai'an's personality, he was, after all, a member of Demon-Slaying Island.

"Just a heads-up. She already has superpowers, so she can't be trained like before." Huai'an waved his hand and quickly made his escape, "Bye-bye~"

He was preparing to leave Demon Island; he still had many things to take care of.

"What are you worshipping for! No manners!" Elder Chang slammed his hand on the table, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger as he stared at the man's retreating figure.

——Golden Dimension——

"Son, how are you feeling now?" Tu Long asked anxiously when he saw Wang Arthur wake up. "Where's your sister? Where did she go?"

He hasn't been home these past few days because he's been searching for clues about Wang Ailuo.

When I returned, my son was in the hospital, my daughter was missing, and we hadn't found a single clue...

"Dad, I was attacked and hospitalized. How come you've lost your mind? I don't have a sister!" Wang Yase lay on the hospital bed with a splitting headache, his voice hoarse.

“It’s Ai Luo. You said she was in a coma for so long, just like Sleeping Beauty, so we named her Ai Luo, Wang Ai Luo.” Tu Long was speechless for a moment, then immediately helped him recall.

Is amnesia contagious or something?

Although it was his idea to adopt Ailuo, his son complained but personally prepared everything for the little girl and enthusiastically bought her a lot of things.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Wang Yase still had a slight headache, but he was certain that there had never been a person named Wang Ailuo since he was a child, let alone someone whose sister was Wang Ailuo.

He didn't want to get entangled with someone who didn't even exist in his memory anymore, so he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep.

But after he was discharged from the hospital and returned home, he discovered that Wang Ailuo, whom he didn't remember at all, had infiltrated every aspect of his life in a short period of time.

He has a habit of keeping a diary, which he used to keep as reading notes or to record his insights from practicing martial arts.

But one day, a little girl appeared, a girl who fell from the sky and landed in his arms. Every day, the record ended with the girl still unconscious.

A month later, his combat power index increased by nearly a thousand points because he transferred his power to the girl, and finally stabilized at six thousand nine hundred points.

Wang Arthur's combat power index was indeed 6,900 points, which was truly unbelievable to him. How could he have no recollection of it at all?

Later, he named her Wang Ailuo.

The subsequent entries were terribly childish, consisting entirely of descriptions of how they teased her and how cute she looked when she was puffed up in anger.

Seeing that she didn't like pink, he specially prepared a pink room for her and lied to her, saying that pink was her favorite color. He even had a pink princess dress made for her, which would be delivered in a few days.

The most terrifying thing was that he found the necklace his mother had given him on the dressing table in that pink room, right there among the little girls' jewelry.

Looking at his own diary, Wang Yase felt extremely complicated. If it weren't for the fact that the handwriting was his own, he would have suspected that someone was playing a prank on him.

How could he possibly have done something so childish?

Seeing his son's bewildered expression, Tu Long ordered the servants to take away the pink dress that had been delivered and then had the room locked up.

"Son, don't worry too much. That girl is very lucky. I believe it really is her family who came to find her." Tu Long patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"But why did I forget..." Wang Arthur held the diary blankly. "Is it because I treated her badly that she left without looking back, taking my memories with her..."

Tu Long looked worried and said nothing more, offering silent comfort.
