After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

“I can spare your life, but I will choose where you hide your heart. This is to prevent my enemies from finding it and to avoid creating a situation that is detrimental to me.”

She was telling the truth, but she didn't tell the whole truth.

Lin Yan thought of having Amit hide the heart in the space where the Ice Lotus was located, so that even if the main characters found out its identity later, they would not be able to get the heart.

The heart was hidden in its own space, and she destroyed it when she could no longer protect it.

This plan is somewhat calculating and cold-blooded. But so what? She herself isn't exactly a kind person.

While Amit was still hesitating, Lin Yan used her authority as the master to command it.

A human and a beast appeared in the space. Amit reluctantly separated his heart from his body and floated in the air for a long time, unable to fall.

Having lost his heart, Amit felt even weaker and his body shrank even smaller.

Lin Yan asked the ice lotus in the pool, "Can I hide this heart at the bottom of the pool?"

The alluring petals of the ice lotus replied with displeasure, "What do you take this place for?"

She touched her nose and didn't refute it.

In her understanding, the pond was Binglian's room. Suddenly asking if she could put strange things in someone else's room would be incredibly offensive. She was prepared to be refused.

She had made up her mind: if she was rejected, she would put her heart in a bottle and bury it in front of the boulder. Nourished by the spiritual energy emanating from the stone, her heart wouldn't be considered trampled upon.

Just as she was about to dig a hole, Binglian spoke up: "It's possible, but we need to find something to put it in. Seeing something so ugly will ruin my mood."

Fortunately, Ice Lotus communicates with her in her consciousness, and only she can hear its words. Otherwise, if Amit heard them, he would be furious.

Lin Yan took out the bottle, cast a spell, and the heart was submerged in the bottle. She then put the cork on the bottle and sank it to the bottom of the pool.

After doing all that, she brought Amit out again. Seeing that it looked half-dead, she kindly took out a high-grade spirit stone and placed it in front of it.

Amit sensed the energy within the spirit stone and immediately began absorbing it. Once it regained its strength, it turned its head with an arrogant air: "Hmph, you're the one who made me like this, I won't thank you!"

Lin Yan didn't care whether it thanked her or not. She grabbed its neck with two fingers, lifted it up, and placed it in her hand: "Now can you hand over the Blue Lotus?"

Amit swallowed hard and made an excuse, saying, "I've lost my heart and have very little power left. I can't summon the Blue Lotus right now. Let me recover." He then turned his head away guiltily.

"Oh? Really? Don't lie to me, or else..." She made a fierce expression, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"Okay, I admit it. Actually, the blue lotus is extinct. What used to grow in the river was the red lotus, but I changed the color."

Amit knew he couldn't keep this a secret for long, so he decided to just tell everything.

It didn't know why the other party wanted to see the Blue Lotus. As far as it knew, the Blue Lotus could nurture elves and was also their food. But with the extinction of the elves, the Blue Lotus also became extinct.

Amit witnessed the extinction of the elven race. When the last elf died, Blue Lotus vanished with him.

At that moment, Amit felt a sense of powerlessness. He could do nothing as his race marched toward extinction.

Lin Yan pondered the likelihood of successfully submitting a red lotus to the stone statue, disguised as a blue lotus...

Alright, if there's a way to get out of the secret realm, she doesn't need to actually try to catch that cactus.

Lin Yan brought it back to the airship and renamed it White Crocodile. At first, it was unwilling, but under the constraint of the contract, it couldn't object. After hearing the names of its other companions introduced, it fully accepted its new name.

Compared to its friends' names, it felt its own name was quite imposing!
Lin Yan snapped her fingers, and a small pile of spirit stones appeared on the deck. The two little ones immediately grabbed some and began absorbing them.

The white crocodile stretched out its little hand, only to be stopped immediately: "Only good little ones can receive the spirit stone reward. Do you think you know the treasure hidden here is real?"

It nodded. "It's true, but it's in the hands of a very nasty guy. I don't know if he's still around, or what traps he's set to protect the treasure."

Lin Yan wasn't interested in the so-called treasure. It would be best if she could get it, but she wouldn't force it if she couldn't. As long as it didn't end up in the hands of the main characters, that was fine!

Now she was simply taking the opportunity to bring up what Amit had said to see how much of what he had said before was true.

"Oh, so do you have any way to leave this place?"

"I used to have it, but now I'm willing but unable!" the white crocodile said guiltily.

In the past, relying on his great power, he could roam freely in this small world and leave whenever he wanted.

It doesn't even have the power to break the seal right now, let alone go out...

Lin Yan didn't make things difficult for it and let go of its hand to let it take the spirit stones itself.

The white crocodile pawed at several pieces, and seeing that she didn't react, it pawed at several more pieces until it couldn't move the spirit stone itself anymore, and then it stopped, satisfied.

She was a little tired after all that working, so she sat down to meditate and absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone.

The blood moon sets over the oasis, the sun rises, and scorches the oasis below.

Fortunately, she had set up two layers of formations and one layer of barrier, ensuring a suitable temperature. After absorbing so many spirit stones, the white crocodile's body returned to the size of a palm.

It stretched out its limbs comfortably, its mouth wide open.

Tangyuan walked over curiously to observe its wide-open mouth. It was the first time it had seen a beast of this shape, and it was filled with curiosity.

The owner introduced it last night; it's an Abyssal Crocodile demon beast, quite old. We don't need to talk to it much anymore. But Tangyuan looked at the Abyssal Crocodile; it was tiny, clearly a cub.

Could it be that it also has two forms?
Tangyuan looked around with her round eyes, curious about this and that.

"Little one, what are you looking at?" Amit asked, puzzled, looking at the chubby little monster cub.

Tangyuan opened its eyes even wider and chirped.

Oh my god, why does this monster speak the same language as its master?

"Chirp chirp chirp~" Why do you know human language?

Tangyuan expressed its question, but then it realized that the white crocodile probably couldn't understand what it was saying. Because it couldn't communicate with the rabbit either, its owner had to convey its meaning for it.

“Cub, you’re too weak. It’s normal that you can’t speak human language,” Amit replied arrogantly.

Tangyuan tilted its fluffy head, and upon hearing the other person say it was weak, it immediately pecked at them in anger!
"Chi chi chi chi!"

The white crocodile wouldn't let Tangyuan peck at it, and darted into Lin Yan's sleeve in a flash. (End of Chapter)
