Qin Xiao figured out where his dilemma lay and recognized his own deepest thoughts.
In an instant, I felt a sense of relief. I still felt guilty, but I realized I shouldn't have made that hasty decision.
However, the kind of complete and intense self-denial that existed before no longer exists.
Or rather, he found his own new spiritual pillar.
Thinking of his tamed beasts and Ye Qingya's beauty, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Qin Xiao shook his head and curled his lips.
Guided by those memories, the dark barrier could no longer hinder him.
He quickly returned to his own soul space.
"Master...Master!"
A surprised, delighted, and incredulous voice rang out.
Qin Xiao turned his head and saw Yun Yun sitting cross-legged, staring at him with wide eyes.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, said nothing, and simply opened his arms.
Tears streamed down Yunyun's face as she rushed into her arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Master, I thought you... I was so worried."
Qin Xiao patted her back, "Don't cry, your master is back safe and sound."
Once upon a time, this woman had such a cool and strong demeanor, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his lips.
The things I had just figured out in my heart became even more resolute.
"Alright, stop crying. Let's go out. They must be getting impatient."
Qin Xiao spoke softly as he returned to his soul space, instantly recalling some of the events that had occurred earlier.
Yun Yun nodded, and the two left the Divine Soul Space.
Inside the treehouse, Qin Xiao's tamed beasts were all gathered, sitting silently to one side, their brows furrowed in worry.
Qin Xiao's fingers twitched slightly, and the beasts that had been watching him noticed instantly.
“Master~...”
Bai Ling spoke with a trembling voice, as if afraid of disturbing Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, and turned to look at his tamed beasts.
"My darlings, I'm home!"
"Owner!"
Slovic, Bai Ling, and Qian Yun are the three who show their emotions most openly.
Unable to hold back any longer, she rushed over and hugged Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao held them in his arms and gently comforted them.
He smiled as he looked at Youyou and Jingjing floating in front of him.
“Honey, I’m home. Cheer up.”
"Yo~"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Youyou's words.
What "Yoyo" means is that he's not allowed to leave her behind again, or she won't let him ride anymore...
Soon, everyone's emotions were calmed down, and Qin Xiao stood up.
Thanks to the treatment and care he received, Jianmu was infused with life, and even though he had been in a coma for many days, he showed no signs of illness.
Ilya and Slovic stood behind him, massaging his shoulders, and he asked.
"What's going on now?"
The women exchanged glances, and finally Ilya slowly began to recount the recent events.
Qin Xiao frowned as he pondered.
Seeing him frown, the women felt uneasy, fearing that their master would blame them for acting on their own initiative.
Qin Xiao saw it by chance and suddenly realized what it meant.
"What are you all worried about? Aren't you worried that I'll blame you?"
Qin Xiao said with a smile, "You are my most trusted treasures, and you have done a great job."
At the time, the situation was unclear, and we were making contact blindly. We couldn't judge whether the people outside were good or bad, so hiding was the best option.
Besides, I've already promised Bu Feifei that I would help her, so naturally I won't go back on my word. You've done a great job.
Yes, Jianmu also deserves praise. Jianmu has made a great contribution this time. However, Jianmu should get closer to her sisters in the future.
They are all trustworthy people. If I need anything in the future, you can consult with them more often.
Upon hearing him say this, the roots of the Jianmu tree affectionately nuzzled him, and everyone present reacted with a coquettish smile.
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? Nothing will happen anymore. We will definitely protect you!"
Seeing that he had angered everyone, Qin Xiao said, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. I will be careful in the future and will never pretend again."
After joking around with everyone for a while, Qin Xiao steered the conversation back to business.
"The competition is over now, and logically speaking, after so many days, the investigations by all parties should be nearly complete."
"As for Feifei, the secret realm has been successfully occupied... It's time to go back to Blue Star. I bet everyone who's worried about me is going crazy."
Ilya nodded. "We should go back. It would be troublesome if someone took the top spot from Master because we didn't show up."
Qin Xiao was taken aback; that was indeed a problem.
Three people managed to escape during this competition.
Two women from the Freedom Alliance, Lilia Reis, and another woman named Buxing.
These two escaped right under his nose by opening a special portal, so their identities must be quite extraordinary.
If I don't show up for a long time, it's very possible that someone else will take first place.
After all, although many unexpected things happened at the World Youth Championship, the underlying politics and resource competition must eventually come to a conclusion.
Moreover, Qin Xiao was worried about one person, who was one of the three people from Huawu Kingdom who were also participating in the competition.
That somewhat eccentric Qin Wendao.
This guy was attacked relentlessly by Mu Yueming for a while, but he was completely unharmed.
He had some doubts that the other party might still be alive.
This is an interesting person. I should have a good 'exchange' with him if I run into him again.
Qin Xiao is still unaware that, in terms of the obvious gains from this competition...
In fact, Qin Wendao, who got a great deal, was the ultimate winner.
The Pale Lady's veil, regardless of its usability, is invaluable simply because it's called a magical artifact.
However, since the opponent is a diamond-ranked individual and has the means to take away a divine artifact, it's fair that he should pick up this bargain.
After discussing for a while, the group decided to rest for the night, pack up, and return to Earth the next day.
With the world portal of Jianmu, as long as there are coordinates or worlds occupied by erosion, communication between them is already very convenient.
Qin Xiao stood up and walked towards the room on the side.
Bu Feifei fainted earlier and hasn't woken up yet, so he still needs to go check on her.
In the side room, Bu Feifei was placed on a bed by the other women, covered with a light green quilt, her expression somewhat sorrowful.
Qin Xiao walked to the side, reached out and took the other person's hand in his.
They already have a very close relationship, so there's no reason for them to take advantage of each other.
"Feifei, don't be afraid, you still have me. Your master will always be with you and take care of you."
Qin Xiao had just experienced a bit of helplessness and despair, so he naturally knew what to say.
Bu Feifei, who was in a coma, seemed to have heard it. Her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she opened her eyes tremblingly.
Her bewildered eyes and rose-red pupils stared at Qin Xiao.
"Owner..."
"Yes, I'm here. You can follow me from now on, but I can only form a contract with you after I upgrade to Diamond level. You'll have to wait a bit."
"Master... Waaah..."
Bu Feifei sat up and hugged Qin Xiao's shoulders, her tears quickly soaking his shoulders.
