“My name is Huaiying, and I’m your older sister.” Xia Xiang introduced herself in a serious tone. “It’s hard to explain to you why I’ve become like this, but if you just steal the Crimson Flame Illusion Mushroom from the Yehenara family and give it to me, I will tell you the whole truth.”

She also has the Crimson Flame Illusion Mushroom, but it's not old enough. This medicine contains potent poison if it hasn't reached a certain age, so it can't be used.

Huai'an's smile faded, and he pointed a finger at Xia Xiang's forehead, shoving her into Jiu Wu's arms as she lay on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Little brat, why should I believe you?! Lying isn't good for kids, but that doesn't matter, I'm not a good person either. Since you're not a good kid either, then I don't have much of a burden on my conscience."

“I’ll send your childhood sweetheart back to his house, and you can come with me to Demon Island.”

“Sure,” Xia Xiang said without objection. “But I have a way to prevent you from participating in that damn trial. If you’re willing to gamble, I’m all for you.”

"How did you know about the trial?!" Huai'an finally became serious, looking at Xia Xiang with some disbelief.

"I've already told you I'm your older sister, but you don't believe me." Xia Xiang said calmly, tilting her chin up. "If you want to know more, bring back what I asked for. I know you can do it."

——

While waiting for Huai'an, Xia Xiang didn't sit idle; she made other preparations.

At her current age, her ability index is only 19,000 points, which is not enough for her to do anything right now, so she needs to find another way to leave this body.

When Huai'an returned, he saw Xia Xiang, who had grown into an adult, and placed her, as a child, next to Jiu Wu.

"Isn't it strange that you're holding yourself when you were little?" Xia Xiang squatted by the bed with a strange expression, and even reached out to poke the round face of little Xia Xiang.

"Here's what you wanted." Huai'an handed Xia Xiang a box, but when Xia Xiang reached out to take it, she pulled her hand back. "Tell me first why you know so much."

Xia Xiang looked at the now-naive Huai An with an unusually kind smile, reached out her hand, and the box automatically broke free from Huai An's control and came into Xia Xiang's hand.

"Save the person first," Xia Xiang said, taking out the ugly-looking medicinal herb.

Huai'an felt he couldn't beat her, so he could only obediently follow Xia Xiang's lead and be completely at her beck and call.

——

"You still haven't told me," Huai'an said, looking at Xia Xiang beside him. He had asked her countless times already.

"Wait a moment," Xia Xiang said, standing in the shadows as the Imperial Guards led Jiu Wu and Xia Xiang back.

"What if you suddenly disappear? Wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing?" Huai'an frowned, expressing his suspicion. "I think you're just trying to fool me. You've erased their memories, you wouldn't be trying to erase mine too, would you?"

Huai'an noticed Xia Xiang's hand quietly raised and quickly stepped back five meters away.

Xia Xiang: ...

"Is that the kind of person my sister is? How could you think of me like that!" Xia Xiang was caught red-handed, looking embarrassed.

This isn't some parallel universe; it's their original universe. She's found the point in time to go back. Once she erases Huai'an's memories, she can return without disrupting the order of time and space.

"Do you think she'd willingly go back to Demon Island with you?" Xia Xiang changed the subject.

“She’ll agree,” Huai’an said, turning her face away as if it didn’t matter.

"I don't care whether she wants to or not, but I have to erase your memory." Xia Xiang was so angry when she heard this that she reached out and pinched Huai An's face.

Huai'an tried to break free, but the energy within his body was sealed, making him unable to move at all. He could only stare at Xia Xiang, who was laughing maliciously.

"Come with me," Xia Xiang said, turning around and walking away. Huai'an followed Xia Xiang's footsteps uncontrollably.

Huai'an couldn't break free at all, and could only follow Xia Xiang to a place with a dark face.

The place had a gloomy sky, steep terrain, and towering black rocks, forming a complex and dangerous stone mountain maze.

"That's where you need to go." Xia Xiang led Huai'an to the place. "I'll take you in now."

Before Huai'an could even be shocked, he heard Xia Xiang say something else.

"However, given your current strength, you can't last more than three hours. I'll rescue you before you kick the bucket."

“No need,” Huai’an said calmly, looking in that direction.

"Go ahead," Xia Xiang said, tossing the person inside before returning to the Iron Dimension.

This place was originally created by Huai'an himself, who hid his previous energy here, and only he could reach the core position.

The elders had previously disagreed with him going because they were afraid he would die.

So he was sent to the Iron Dimension to protect Xia Xiang and find an opportunity to bring her back to Demon-Slaying Island. Of course, to dispel his idea, he was also assigned missions in other dimensions, keeping him extremely busy.

If he wants to go, then let him go. He should go back to the Iron Dimension and see his family. She hasn't seen them for a very, very long time.

—Wind and Space—

After Jiu Wu happily emerged from seclusion, he planned to appease Xia Xiang's stomach first, so he prepared a lot of delicious food for her. However, after waiting for a long time, he realized that she was nowhere to be found.

"Xiao Feng, I'm going to find your master. If that scoundrel comes, tell him to wait for me to return." After giving these instructions, Jiu Wu left with the enhanced version of [A Thousand Miles Connected by a Single Thread].

"Yes," Tingfeng replied as if it were a routine matter, offering a few more instructions.

——

When Jiu Wu found Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang was teaching Shen Xingzhe how to play games.

"Little Fatty, do you still remember you have a home?" Jiu Wu complained with a resentful look. "When I came out of seclusion, I didn't see you, and my heart sank. You're still playing here."
