"I'm so happy! Now I can leave in peace." Xia Xiang suddenly laughed, hiding the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. Before Jiu Wu could react, she got up and tucked him in. "I'm leaving. Remember to miss me."

Suddenly, Jiu Wu reached out and grabbed her wrist, asking in a serious tone, "Are you sure you're not lying to me, either last time or now?"

Xia Xiang paused, turned around to meet his gaze, and said earnestly, "I want to kiss you, is that okay?"

"..." Jiu Wu's eyes widened in shock, and he was vaguely puzzled. When did she ask for his opinion?

His gaze involuntarily fell on her red lips, and his mind recalled the softness he had felt when they last met in the alley. He felt a little distracted and moved closer and closer to Xia Xiang... but then a bucket of cold water was poured over his head...

"If it doesn't work out, that's fine," Xia Xiang said with a smile, covering his lips with hers. "I'll come back when you're ready. Bye~"

Moxibustion Dance: ...

——Demon Island——

"You really don't need to see me off." Xia Xiang really disliked these elders who were usually somewhat annoying, but now had tears in their eyes and looked unusually kind.

"Xiangxiang, promise me you'll come out alive," Elder Pang said, wiping away tears and grabbing Xia Xiang's sleeve.

"Elder Pang, can you please stop crying? It looks very ominous," Xia Xiang said earnestly.

"Xia Xiang, be careful." Elder Chang handed Xia Xiang a small dagger, about the thickness of a finger, and instructed her.

"Hey, that's mine..." Elder Pang clutched his chest, pointing at the dagger with immense heartache.

But after being glared at by Elder Chang, he didn't say anything more, and just covered his face and ran away quickly.

"Thank you," Xia Xiang said, taking the dagger.

“You already know the rules, and you understand what it means to be unarmed,” Elder Chang emphasized. “It means you can’t use superpowers, you can’t use the power of the Demon-Slaying Slash, and of course, you can’t use energy that exceeds the Demon-Slaying Island’s tolerance.”

"Take these," Xia Xiang said, taking out the Demon-Slaying Slash, the Magnolia Bow, and even the ring, and placing them on the empty tray. "Keep them safe for me."

After putting down her things, Xia Xiang walked inside without looking back.

Everything has a beginning and an end, and the Demon-Slaying Island is no exception.

The Demon-Slaying Island existed because of Huaiying, and after countless years, it has developed into what it is today. However, the gradually dissipating energy is always a cause for concern.

Now that Xia Xiang has become the new island master, she can combine her power with the Demon-Slaying Island. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. The only downside is that she cannot interfere in matters of the twelve timelines.

Of course, Xia Xiang, who had become accustomed to restrictions, was perfectly clear about the bottom line of the balance between good and evil, so it was as if there were no restrictions on her...
