Chapter 452 You'an, Thank you, Senior Sister
Before Fangzhang Mountain completely sank into the sea, the group was thrown out by the secret realm. Qin Beiyao and Shui Lian'er, who were also thrown out by the secret realm, were also confused and shocked.
"How...how..." Shui Lian'er was stunned for a while before realizing that a sacred mountain had sunk and they had all been thrown out of the secret realm.
She cheered happily and rushed over to hug Jiang Liqian, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Li Qian, I've finally seen you! I've missed you so much!"
Jiang Liqian patted her back and calculated the days: "The ship should be coming to pick us up soon. Shall we go to the beach first?"
Several people nodded in agreement.
Shui Lian'er told Jiang Liqian about the strange things she and Qin Beiyao had encountered along the way. As she spoke, she kept marveling at how beautiful the fairy sisters in the story were. She wondered if all fairies were this beautiful.
Qin Beiyao noticed the difference in Jiang Liqian's aura. He had seen the rolling tribulation clouds on Penglai Immortal Island, so Jiang Liqian must have broken through again. He congratulated her and then asked if they had seen Shen Qingqing, their junior sister.
Jiang Liqian was taken aback, not expecting her to be here too.
Xu Youan and Shi Tou remained silent, while Su Yanqing glanced at them thoughtfully with narrowed eyes.
No one knows, so the question was dropped.
The group hurried along and soon arrived at the shore. There were relatively few people gathered there at the moment, and their ship was the first to arrive at the agreed time.
Indeed, looking into the distance, the ship that was coming to pick them up was already faintly visible through the thin mist.
Before long, the ship docked, but this time, there was no old man steering the ship; the ship sailed on its own.
Although Jiang Liqian and the others found it strange, they couldn't mistake the ship's design, so they boarded the ship with some doubts. The other passengers who were already on board also arrived at this moment and hurriedly boarded the ship.
Once everyone was seated, the boat stirred, ready to depart.
Just as their ship was about to leave the shore, a disheveled Shen Qingqing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, waving her hand and calling out to them: "Wait...wait for me! I want to get on the ship too, take me with you, I can pay double the spirit stones!"
"Boatman! Boatman!"
Shen Qingqing ran and flew, not caring whether it was cold or not, and plunged into the seawater, clinging tightly to the stern of the boat with both hands.
When she saw Jiang Liqian, her eyes lit up, and she immediately pleaded pitifully, "Senior Sister, take me with you! Please, I want to go with you! My ship won't be here for a long time, and I can't wait. Please help me for the sake of our fellow disciples!"
Jiang Liqian didn't move, looking indifferently at the pleading girl through the half-open window: "Your 'senior sister' is not here."
Shen Qingqing's mind worked incredibly fast at that moment, and she immediately changed her words: "Senior Sister Jiang, please help me. I'm your junior sister, we're from the same sect..."
Jiang Liqian turned her gaze away. Her words and pitiful appearance had no effect on her anymore, and she would not be soft-hearted towards her in the slightest.
However, she was genuinely curious as to why Shen Qingqing was in such a hurry to leave the island. Had she offended some important figure?
As she was pondering, Xu You'an, who was peeling spirit fruits sitting next to her, suddenly frowned in disgust, put down the knife, stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
He walked a few steps to Shen Qingqing, raised his long boots with cloud-patterned embroidery, and kicked her in the shoulder, sending her crashing down without mercy.
The seawater was churning, but the ship continued its journey normally into the distance.
Shen Qingqing thrashed about in the seawater several times before finally surfacing. Her face was pale and bluish, and she coughed up several mouthfuls of salty seawater.
A surge of anger erupted from her chest. She instinctively wanted to draw her sword, but when her gaze fell on the stern of the ship and Xu You'an's cold, ambiguous smile, she shuddered violently. She dared not make any small movements and could only watch helplessly as the ship sailed further and further away.
The system then echoed in her mind.
[Host, why aren't you chasing after it? That black dragon is about to break out of the secret realm's barrier! Only by leaving the white mist range of the Mirage Secret Realm will it stop chasing you.]
Shen Qingqing was freezing cold. Dragging herself, covered in seaweed and seaweed, she quickly returned to shore. While casting a cleansing spell on herself, she spoke to the system in her mind.
“I want to leave too, but…” Thinking of Xu Youan’s horrific methods of torture, she couldn’t help but shudder again.
She then reassured herself, saying to the system, "It's okay, it's okay. That lizard belongs to the secret realm; it couldn't possibly break through the secret realm's barrier..."
Before she could finish convincing herself, a red light suddenly appeared from the distant sea, and a sword forcefully pierced the barrier of the secret realm, tearing a thin crack in it.
A sharp claw suddenly extended from the gap, and then, to Shen Qingqing's horrified gaze, half of the Xuan Jiao's primordial spirit flew out from the gap, its blood-red eyes filled with boundless rage, staring straight at her.
The breath of death is approaching instantly.
The crowd on the shore erupted in an uproar, filled with screams, cries, and shouts in the afterglow of the setting sun.
A thousand-foot-high wave suddenly surged up amidst the roar of the black dragon, momentarily obscuring the island's appearance.
On the ship, Jiang Liqian stared in shock at the jade box whose sword energy was gradually receding. She could hardly believe that it had flown out of her Qiankun bag and landed on the table where she was drinking tea without her even thinking about taking it out.
The red light just now... Could it be that a broken sword can unsheathe itself?
“Senior sister…” Xu You’an’s dissatisfied voice came from outside the window at just the right time. Jiang Liqian was taken aback and casually put the jade box away.
"what happened?"
Xu Youan bit her overly bright red lips, her eyes looking pitiful, and stretched half of her sleeve through the window: "It's wet, that woman did it."
"I'm so cold, senior sister."
Jiang Liqian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her eyes, raised her hand, and gently stroked his sleeve with her fingertips. The water stains on the sleeve disappeared instantly.
She looked up and said with a smile, "Are you still cold? You're such a child..."
His warm fingers instantly grasped her hand, and the boy's eyebrows arched, as if he had received the sweetest candy, and he smiled with pride and joy.
"I'm not cold anymore, senior sister."
"You'an, thank you, Senior Sister."
The sea surged and rippled, the distant sunset reflected in the water, like splashes of the most intense crimson ink.
In the ink stains, Jiang Liqian could barely make out the boy's blurred features.

Returning to Sanhai City from the Mirage Realm, everyone felt a sense of unreality. Their feet sank into hard stone slabs, and looking back, the sea remained calm and mysterious, as if they had never traveled far.
