With Dragon Island’s matters settled, Yang Kai naturally didn’t plan on staying any longer. Although he was reluctant to part with Zhu Qing, he had already set up a Space Array outside Dragon Island, so it would be convenient for him to travel in the future, so it was time to leave.
A few days ago, Yang Kai had informed Mo Xiaoqi to make preparations. This time, Xiaoqi also wanted to leave with Yang Kai and return to Spirit Beast Island. Yang Kai was prepared to personally escort Mo Xiaoqi back to Spirit Beast Island and also set up a Space Array there, firstly because Li Wuyi had instructed him to do so, and secondly because it was convenient for Mo Xiaoqi to meet with Fu Xuan in the future.
Zhu Yan came to see Yang Kai in advance and drank with him for the entire night before leaving at dawn. After a night of silence, before he left, he said, “Take good care of Xiao’er for us!”
Yang Kai nodded seriously, knowing that Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun were preparing to let him take Yang Xiao away. Although the little guy had only been born for a few days, the various problems he had with his body made it impossible for him to stay in Dragon Palace for long. Since he would have to leave Dragon Palace sooner or later, he might as well leave with Yang Kai as soon as possible. With Yang Kai taking care of him outside, Zhu Yan could feel more at ease.
On the day of their departure, Yang Kai and Zhu Qing were waiting on Cresent Moon Island. Mo Xiaoqi and Fu Xuan had also rushed over. The mother and daughter were holding hands as if they were a pair of sisters whispering to each other. Fu Xuan’s eyes were filled with unwillingness to part with her daughter. It wasn’t easy for them to reunite for such a long time, but now that they were going to separate, she naturally couldn’t bear to part with them.
After waiting for a while, Yang Xiao was nowhere to be seen. Yang Kai frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling.
After waiting for several hours, a red light flew over and landed in front of them, revealing Zhu Lie’s figure.
“Where are Great Elder and the others? Why aren’t they here yet?” Zhu Qing asked.
Zhu Lie’s face twitched as he replied, “Second Elder is hiding with Yang Xiao.”
“Hiding?” Zhu Qing was surprised.
Yang Kai was also somewhat speechless. Although he knew that Fu Zhun was unwilling to send Yang Xiao away, he hadn’t expected her to do such a thing.
Zhu Lie said, “The Great Elder sent me here to pass on a message, telling you to wait a little longer, he will send Yang Xiao over.”
“En,” Yang Kai nodded.
After sending this message, Zhu Lie flew off, probably to look for the Second Elder and Yang Xiao. Yang Kai and Zhu Qing exchanged a glance, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This wait lasted for an entire day and night, until the next day when Zhu Yan arrived at Cresent Moon Island with Yang Xiao. His old face was completely black, and it was obvious that he was quite angry. Fu Zhun followed closely behind, tears streaming down her face as she stared at Yang Xiao, who was in Zhu Yan’s hands, but she knew that she couldn’t disobey, so she could only bite her lip and secretly cry.
Zhu Yan placed Yang Xiao in front of Yang Kai and said seriously, “I’ll leave Xiao’er to you. If he doesn’t obey you… teach him a harsh lesson.”
Yang Xiao immediately said, “Don’t worry, Father. When this child is outside, I will listen to Foster Father and will not cause any trouble for him.”
Zhu Yan was relieved to see him act like this and nodded lightly.
Yang Kai glanced over at Fu Zhun and gently pushed Yang Xiao away, “Say goodbye to your mother, it’s time to leave.”
Yang Xiao nodded, walked over to Fu Zhun, and looked up at her.
Fu Zhun’s suppressed emotions finally erupted as she squatted down and hugged him, crying and whispering something into his ear. Yang Xiao nodded repeatedly and used her small hands to wipe away Fu Zhun’s tears as he comforted him.
After a long time, Fu Zhun’s mood finally calmed down and she carefully warned him.
Yang Kai walked over to her side and said, “We should go now.”
Fu Zhun nodded, forcefully suppressing the reluctance in her heart as she stuffed a Space Ring into Yang Xiao’s hand, sniffling as she said, “Here is something Mother prepared for you. If anyone dares to bully you outside, just tell them Father and Mother’s names, Father and Mother will stand up for you.”
“En, en!” Yang Xiao nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Yan couldn’t help stretching out his hand to cover his face, thinking to himself, 'is she trying to let her son commit murder?' Suddenly, he felt that letting Yang Xiao and Yang Kai leave together wasn’t a bad thing. If he really let the little boy stay on Dragon Island, with Fu Zhun’s spoiling attitude, she would definitely spoil the child. What kind of dogshit Dragon Race Second Elder was she? How could che become like this after having a child?
Yang Kai and the others finally left.
Not allowing anyone to send them off, the three women on Cresent Moon Island stared at the departing figure, their eyes filled with worry.
After flying for half a day, they arrived at the entrance.
Fu Ling noticed the commotion and ran over to investigate, but when she saw Yang Xiao actually following Yang Kai, she couldn’t help being surprised. After asking about it, she learned the whole story, so she didn’t make things difficult for him. Now that Yang Kai’s status on Dragon Island was extraordinary, which Dragon Race wouldn’t be polite to him? What’s more, she didn’t have the courage to oppose him.
She let them pass easily.
Through that entrance, they left Dragon Island and rushed up from the bottom of the sea.
A short while later, the group of four arrived above the sea.
Yang Xiao looked around in surprise and clicked his tongue, “This is the outside world? Why does it feel no different from Dragon Island?”
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “What you see before you is but a drop in the ocean. This is the Sea of the East Territory, Dragon Island also has an ocean, so naturally there is no big difference. In the future, you will see the difference between the outside world and Dragon Island.”
Yang Xiao understood, “I see.”
“Let’s go to Spirit Beast Island first and send Xiaoqi home,” Yang Kai said, causing Mo Xiaoqi to pout.
Ever since the last incident, Mo Xiaoqi had been somewhat embarrassed to see Yang Kai again. Today, when she left Dragon Island with him, she had been quiet, no longer as lively as she used to be. But now that she heard him say he wanted to send her back to Spirit Beast Island, she immediately became somewhat unhappy.
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn as he activated his Space Laws and formed a series of hand seals, preparing to use his Space Secret Technique.
Now that he had left Dragon Island and was in the Star Boundary, since he had exchanged Space Beacon with Li Wuyi last time, it was quite convenient for him to go to Spirit Beast Island. All he needed to do was communicate with the Space Beacon he had given Li Wuyi and it would be delivered to him in an instant.
Presumably, Li Wuyi was also on Spirit Beast Island.
At this moment, Mo Xiaoqi suddenly said, “Big Brother Yang, let’s fly to Spirit Beast Island.”
Yang Kai’s hands paused for a moment as he looked at her suspiciously, “Why?”
Although Spirit Beast Island and Dragon Island were both above the East Sea, there was still some distance between them. Yang Kai estimated that even he would need to fly for seven or eight days. With such a convenient and fast method like the Space Beacon, why would he need to fly so arduously? It was simply a waste of time and energy.
Mo Xiaoqi lowered her head and said, “Didn’t Yang Xiao want to experience the outside world? If we fly over, we can also let him experience the wonders of the outside world.”
Yang Xiao was still looking around at the scenery, but when he heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, “Yes, yes, foster father, let’s fly over.” He didn’t even know if there was any other way to reach Spirit Beast Island other than flying over, so he just instinctively agreed, mainly because he heard that flying over would allow him to see more.
Yang Kai withdrew his hand seal and smiled helplessly, “Why do I feel like you’ve been bored for so many years?”
Yang Xiao replied, “It’s not like I’ve been cooped up for many years. Although this child was just born not long ago, don’t forget that this child slept in that egg for a long time.”
Hearing his pitiful words, Yang Kai could only nod and say, “Fine, since you say so, let’s fly over.”
Saying so, he turned to look at Qiong Qi.
The corners of Qiong Qi’s mouth twitched as he thought to himself, ‘If you were to fly over, wouldn’t you have to rely on yourself? This old master is so old, is it easy to bully?’
Although he cursed in his heart, he could only reveal his Winged Tiger's true form. Immediately, a fierce beast appeared in front of the three of them.
The three of them jumped onto Qiong Qi’s back one after another. Yang Kai took out a blanket and sat opposite Mo Xiaoqi, placing Yang Xiao between his legs.
As they sped along, Yang Xiao looked around excitedly at the surrounding scenery, but when he looked around, he couldn’t help feeling a little bored. Looking up at Mo Xiaoqi, he asked, “Sister Xiaoqi, is Spirit Beast Island fun?”
Yang Kai knocked him on the head and asked, “What did you call her?”
Yang Xiao covered his head with his hands and asked, “Sister? Is there a problem?”
Yang Kai said, “I address Xiaoqi as my sister, and you’re my son, what do you think is wrong with calling her your sister?”
Hearing this, Yang Xiao thought about it seriously and said, “But… according to Dragon Island’s seniority, I really should call her Sister. If we were to compare our seniority, what should I do?”
Mo Xiaoqi pursed her lips and smiled, “Let’s just settle our differences. If you were to act according to your foster father’s seniority, your relationship with many people would be very messy.”
Yang Xiao nodded in agreement, “You’re right.” His voice was tender, but his tone was filled with a sense of old age, causing others to laugh.
Yang Kai also felt that this was indeed the case. After he hatched Yang Xiao, he had really messed up many of his seniority, so he didn’t want to get involved in this matter anymore.
Yang Xiao asked again, “Is Spirit Beast Island fun?”
Mo Xiaoqi asked, “Is Dragon Island fun?”
Yang Xiao shook his head like a rattle. To him, Dragon Island wasn’t fun at all. Not only was it not lively, but it also had a mother who sticks to him.
Mo Xiaoqi said, “Spirit Beast Island is the same to me.”
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and from the look in each other’s eyes, they could tell that they shared the same fate and couldn’t help letting out a long sigh.
“Why are you sighing so lightly at your age?” Yang Kai scolded the two of them while Mo Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue.
Yang Kai reached out and pinched Yang Xiao’s chubby cheeks, “I’ll take this opportunity to discuss some serious matters with you.”
Yang Xiao said ambiguously, “Foster Father, please speak.”
Yang Kai asked, “Did your parents say how you should cultivate in the future?”
Yang Xiao replied, “Mother put a Dragon Transformation Art into my ring.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded and said, “En, even if your bloodline isn’t pure or innately lacking, you’re still a descendant of two Tenth-Order Great Dragons and more or less have the bloodline of the Dragon Race. The Dragon Transformation Art is quite suitable for your cultivation method, so you should focus on cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art. In the future, you might even have a chance to transform into a True Dragon.”
