Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Conrad scoffed, "Then let's just find a room to chat. I'm short on time."

Li Bai said with disdain, "You won't be laughing for long."

Vanka looked at Li Bai with concern, only to see Li Bai wave his hand at him and turn to walk outside.

This scene was witnessed by many observant people in Rota City.

"Is Li Bai being targeted by both the Kuna family and the Wanpu family at the same time?"

"Of course! The Kuna family lost two direct descendants, and he plucked the most beautiful flower of the Wanpu family. If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you be anxious?"

"If that's the case, isn't Li Bai in grave danger? You know, if it weren't for him, our Luota City would have suffered heavy losses this time!"

……

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Shen Bai and Conrad walked toward a temporary office.

Just when everyone thought it would take a long time, a moment later, Shen Bai walked out of the temporary office with a leisurely air.

Behind him followed a man with a pale face.

It was Conrad, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir realm.

"Defeated? A Golden Core Perfection cultivator was defeated by a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator? Li Bai is too strong!"

"When he advanced, he was able to fight a Nascent Soul beastman head-on. Now that he's advanced, he'll definitely be even stronger! What is a mere Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator compared to him?"

"The Nascent Soul beastmen are engaged in pure physical combat, and judging from the current situation, they should be completely overwhelming them!"

……

Shen Bai walked into Vanka's office again. This time, he didn't stand behind Vanka. Instead, he hugged the blonde, blue-eyed, and fiery red-lipped socialite of Rota Kingdom into his arms.

Shen Bai sat in her seat, holding Vanka in his arms, stroking her long golden hair, and looking down at Conrad.

Are you satisfied?

Vanka showed no shyness whatsoever; instead, she sat gracefully in Shen Bai's lap, giving him ample face.

Others may not know just how powerful Li Bai was, but Vanka knew better than anyone else.

Conrad was no longer arrogant as before. He nodded and said, "I will report to the head of the family truthfully."

After Conrad left, Vanka collapsed into Shen Bai's arms: "My father must have been instigated by someone. I'll send him a message to explain later."

Shen Bai felt Vanka's softness and shook his head, saying, "What's the point of explaining? I have no power or influence; in their eyes, I'm nothing more than a dog you recruited."

Vanka's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up and cupped Shen Bai's handsome face in her hands: "Don't underestimate yourself. I know very well how much potential you have. I have always firmly believed that you can walk the path of enlightenment with me."

"I have already entered the Golden Core stage, and my cultivation speed will slow down significantly recently. I plan to travel around during this time to broaden my horizons. You should also take some time to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate your Nascent Soul stage cultivation."

Shen Bai turned his gaze to the window: "This Qiyuan Star is so vast, I believe it will definitely have a broader space for development."

Looking into Shen Bai's eyes, Vanka noticed a longing for the outside world within them. He knew that given Li Bai's personality, it was already quite remarkable that he would stay by his side obediently for several months.

Now that everything in Rota City is back on track, even if another spiritual tide comes, everyone has methods and measures to deal with it. At this point, it is no longer very meaningful for him to stay in Rota City.

"Alright, go ahead and explore! I'll always be waiting for you!"

Vanka wasn't the type to be coy. She turned sideways, reached her arms behind her, and suddenly pulled Shen Bai's head towards her chest: "Before you leave, give me one more massage!"

Shen Bai chuckled and said, "How about we leave a seed?"

Vanka's soft spot was struck instantly. She transformed into a beautiful snake, coiling herself around her: "Then let's see what you're capable of! It's very difficult for a Golden Core cultivator to impregnate a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Shen Bai retorted proudly: "What I like most is to face challenges head-on."

……

Three days later, Shen Bai bid farewell to Vanka and, alone with his sword, charged into the dense forest outside Rota City.

Vanka watched the other person leave, speechless for a long time.

Standing beside him, Bat Zhenren asked worriedly, "Has he suffered some kind of shock?"

After a moment of silence, Vanka said, "It should be. He has always been arrogant. Being questioned like this by his family and targeted by the Kuna family time and time again, he must feel that he has lost face. This trip must be to find an opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

"If he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, will you marry him, older sister?"

Bart looked at his sister with a rare gossipy expression.

A resolute glint flashed in Vanka's eyes as she glared at Bart Zhenren: "Just because he hasn't advanced to the Nascent Soul stage doesn't mean I can't marry him?"

Master Bart snorted, "That would be far too difficult."

The complex emotions in Vanka's eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of arrogance: "Am I, Vanka, someone who fears trouble? Li Bai dared to risk his life for my Wanpu family, and even fought to the death against a Nascent Soul beastman for me. How could I betray him?"

Bart looked at his sister with suspicion.

Is this still my incredibly shrewd older sister?

Is this still the same Luota Kingdom's number one socialite who captivated millions of cultivators?

Why does it feel like I've become love-struck?

He couldn't help but ask, "Sister, you're not pregnant, are you?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Vanka slapped Bart so hard he flew into the air, his pretty face flushed and he looked absolutely stunning.

……

Once Shen Bai left Luota City, he immediately soared into the sea like a dragon, his flying speed on his sword instantly reaching its peak.

After flying around for several days and confirming that no one was following him, he sped towards Shenjiazhuang.

Upon returning to the manor, he immediately took out various array materials and began constructing arrays for Shen Family Manor.

The existing fifth-order magic array in Shenjiazhuang is perfectly capable of protecting ordinary orcs, but it is virtually powerless against Nascent Soul orcs.

Shen Bai already possessed the skills of a sixth-order array master, and his cultivation level was now barely sufficient. With the added blessing of the Three Elements Gathering at the Top talent and the assistance of the Janard clan, he was prepared to inscribe a large-scale sixth-order array for the entire spiritual vein.

It combines stealth, protection, attack, and spirit gathering.

He had been sketching out this large-scale formation in his mind for months, and when he returned to Qingbei Dao Academy, he took the opportunity to discuss it with True Monarch Ji Ling and Vice Dean Lu Shifang under the pretext of obtaining the ancient formation diagram.

This magic array received approval from both big shots.

The two big shots could never have imagined that this magic array was not an ancient magic array at all, but one that Shen Bai designed himself.

It should be noted that even Ji Lingzhenjun had only recently advanced to the sixth-order array master. She could never have imagined that this array was created by Shen Bai, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage at the time.

The Janard tribesmen who were subdued by Shen Bai were actually all masters of formations, and each of them was a master at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. This was because they were originally intended to assist Janard in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, so that they could work together to build a super-large-scale, long-distance teleportation formation.

The Kuna family never expected that all the array masters they had painstakingly trained would end up benefiting Shen Bai.

Among these people, there are two fifth-tier array masters, and the rest are fourth-tier array masters.

Moreover, these array masters are limited by their cultivation level. Once they break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they can all be promoted to fifth-tier array masters in the shortest possible time.

Under Shen Bai's leadership, it took a full month for the group to finally complete the construction of this large-scale formation.

Then, Shen Bai opened up several secret caves in the mountain range where the manor was located, and set up three short-distance teleportation arrays in them as a backup route for the manor.

Short-distance teleportation arrays are not as complex as ultra-large-scale ultra-long-distance arrays, and these arrays come from Fei Pu's storage ring, so it is not difficult for Shen Bai to implement them by himself.

With a sixth-order defensive array and a short-distance teleportation array as a backup, Shen Family Village finally began to resemble a large family.

After arranging the construction work within the manor for the demon slaves and Golden Core protectors once again, Shen Bai leisurely headed towards Qiyuan City.

Two months had passed since I last returned to Qiyuan City, and the city seemed to have doubled in size. The air routes in the sky were no longer sparsely populated with various flying boats and flying swords, but rather presented a rather prosperous scene.

Shen Bai reverted to his original appearance and swaggered towards the princess's residence. The spies from various countries who had been lurking in Qiyuan City immediately received this information.

What made them even more suffocated was that Shen Bai's cultivation level was actually at the late Foundation Establishment stage!

"This cultivation level, this age, is terrifying! Didn't he just enter the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago?"

"I heard he's been in seclusion cultivating lately. How long has it been? He's already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. Could he be considered the youngest late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in Earth's history?"

"His talent is simply too great. Should we discuss with the higher-ups about assassinating him as soon as possible?"

……

The spies couldn't believe what they were seeing. The last murder and rape case hadn't been able to bring Shen Bai down.

This time, his powerful emergence from seclusion is bound to cause an even bigger stir.

Qi Rui had been waiting outside the princess's residence for a long time. When she saw Shen Bai, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Greetings, Lord Shen."

"Why are you being so polite with me, Sister Rui? These are some small handicrafts that Wenwen made and asked me to bring them to you."

Shen Bai reached out and handed over a storage ring, which Qi Rui accepted readily.

"I was ordered by His Highness a few days ago to visit and comfort Wenwen."

Qi Rui gave him a hint, which Shen Bai immediately understood. He unconsciously ran his fingers across Qi Rui's palm to express his gratitude.

Qi Rui hurriedly withdrew her right hand.

What is this scumbag trying to do? Isn't he afraid His Highness will tear him apart?

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Shen Bai smiled and nodded, about to take a step, when a voice transmission came through his ear: "His Highness is in a bad mood, and moreover, he's jealous!"

Shen Bai's smile widened.

He walked without stopping, through the garden courtyard, and arrived at the reception room, where he saw the Sixth Princess looking through the accounts with a slight frown.

Sensing Shen Bai's footsteps, she closed the ledger.
