There was a sly glint in Zouzi's eyes, "Eh? Aren't you going to wait for Touga-kun?"

Cuizi's face flushed slightly, but she pretended to be calm as she adjusted her sleeves. "If he wants to come, he can come anytime."

After a pause, she added, "The sea is stormy and rough, and we don't have enough supplies. It would be best to return to the West as soon as possible."

Mica let out a crisp cry, shook its fluffy tail, and lightly glided across the sea carrying the two priestesses.

Tsuiko's white dress and Zoeko's scarlet hakama fluttered in the wind like two fluttering butterflies.

Dou Ya stood on the waves, the bamboo joint in his hand shining with a lustrous luster.

He raised his head, and his golden eyes reflected their receding figures.

A light laugh dissipated in the sound of waves, and Douya's figure had disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the weight on Yunmu's back increased quietly. Cui Zi turned around as if she sensed something and met those golden eyes with a smile.

"You didn't even wait for me when you got back. It seems like you still treat me as an outsider!"

"Who, who treats you as an outsider."

Cui Zi turned her head away, feeling that her momentum was weakening again, and raised her voice.

"Yika is still a child. How can three people sit together? Don't crush Yunka."

Yunmu let out a whimper of grievance at the right time, shook her fluffy tail, and responded to Cui Zi's words.

This was a lie, but neither Douya nor the smirking Zouzi revealed it.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, more than forty rough wooden boats were bobbing in the waves.

Tough vines connect them together to form a floating home.

Hong stood on the deck of the bow ship, her bronze skin glowing like honey in the sunlight, setting off her resolute face.

When those familiar figures appeared in the sky, she stood on tiptoe, and the wide felt hat covering her head fluttered in the wind.

Her long red hair fluttered freely in the salty sea breeze like a burning sunset, as if releasing the joy that had been pent up for a hundred years.

"Look! It's Lord Toga, Lady Tsuiko, and Lady Zouko!"

"They're back!"

The village chief of the half-demon village waved his arms excitedly, and his strong body made the small boat under him shake.

Several banshees behind her hurriedly wrapped their arms around her thin waist.

The always calm village chief now looked like a child who had received candy, with a glint of light in the corners of his eyes.

When Dou Ya and others landed on the central wooden boat that was deliberately left empty, the entire fleet burst into thunderous cheers.

Someone slammed a harpoon against the side of the boat, the rhythm like a cheerful drum.

Several young half-demons climbed up the mast and jingled wind chimes made of shells.

Some elderly people even had tears in their eyes and put their hands together to pray to the sky.

Hong had foreseen countless possibilities: the joyful scene of leaving Penglai Island safely.

Or leave a tragic future with heavy casualties if you fail.

She even prepared for the worst, ready to use her predictive ability to transform into the light of a beacon to fight for the last glimmer of hope for everyone.

But the empty sea before her completely exceeded her imagination.

The island that had imprisoned them for hundreds of years, the cage engraved with pain and struggle, was as if wiped off the surface of the sea by an invisible giant hand, without even a trace of debris left.

Hong looked at the sparkling sea and her throat tightened slightly.

She once thought that she had long been numb to power - after all, during the long years of imprisonment, she had seen too many monsters and humans who claimed to be powerful, but eventually became nutrients for the elixir of Penglai Island.

But at this moment, she truly felt for the first time what "powerful" meant.

Not oppression, not destruction, but so casually... rewriting destiny.

The sea breeze blew across her cheeks, bringing with it an unprecedented sense of freedom.

Hong's fingertips trembled slightly, not out of fear, but out of a kind of almost dizzying expectation - it turned out that the future could really be so broad.

At this moment, she finally understood the bleak future that she had predicted when Zouzi entered the Village of Half-Demons.

It is not nothingness, but like the clear sky after the evil clouds have dispersed, pure enough to accommodate all possibilities.

Just like the sea that has regained its freedom, every wave speaks of a new beginning.

When Inu Taisho's deep voice announced "We are safe", the entire sea seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, deafening cheers erupted from more than forty wooden boats.

The sound was more violent than the ocean waves, and echoed for a long time on the vast sea.

Following General Inu's order, more than forty wooden boats connected in series changed direction in unison.

The vine-woven rope creaked as it tightened during the turn, yet it displayed surprising resilience.

These simple ships, carrying the hundreds of years of anticipation of the half-demons, are now sailing towards the West with unwavering determination.

The oars cut through the sea, plowing out white tracks in the blue.

Cui Zi stood beside Dou Ya, looking at the fleet breaking through the waves in front of her, and in a trance she saw a new possibility for the coexistence of humans and demons.

Douya's voice sounded beside his ears, low and gentle, "So, do you want to stay in the West Country and witness the arrival of the new era with your own eyes?"

Cui Zi pursed her lips slightly, "This answer..."

She whispered softly, and the sea breeze blew away her unfinished words.

Douya didn't urge her, but just stood quietly beside her, his silver hair dancing in the wind.

There was a tacit silence between the two of them, just like the place where the sea and the sky meet, seemingly distinct yet integrated.

The waves cut by the fleet sparkled with tiny golden lights in the sunlight, as if paving a road to the future.

Chapter 116: Insufficient Experience in Extramarital Affairs and Summary of Gains

The sea breeze blows gently, and the sparkling sea surface reflects the afterglow of the setting sun.

Douya still has many affairs to deal with in Shanya City.

He turned to face the two priestesses who were unwilling to leave with him and wanted to stay behind to look after the fleet, and a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"Tsuiko, Zouko, I'll leave the rest of the trip in your hands."

The two witches nodded slightly, their white sleeves swaying gently in the wind.

Yunmu, who was lying in Cuizi's arms, also meowed, and her furry tail swayed gently in her owner's arms.

Douya didn't say anything else, just nodded at them.

He looked at Hong and the others who were maneuvering the boat, then raised his hand and paddled in the air—

The space seemed to be cut by an invisible sharp blade, and a dark crack appeared silently in front of him.

This is the spatial passage leading to the Mountain Tooth City, but it is still a crude version forcibly created by relying on the power of the devouring realm.

Without the strength of a high-level monster, he could not withstand the chaotic spatial pressure inside, and his internal organs ruptured and he died with bleeding from all seven orifices.

Douya stepped in, and just as his figure completely disappeared, the last promise came floating in the wind.

"I'll leave you something good later, but it can only be found in the Kingdom of Senluo."

The cracks closed in an instant, leaving only a few ripples in space rippling in the twilight.

"It's really exciting."

Zouzi turned her head to look at Cuizi who was in a trance, and the corners of her eyes curved into cunning crescents.

The sea breeze lifted the loose hair on her temples, giving it a golden edge in the sunset glow.

"Ok?"

Cui Zi suddenly came back to her senses, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the hairs of mica, but the corners of her lips revealed her thoughts.

"Indeed...it's very exciting."

Her gaze still lingered somewhere in the void, and the setting sun cast a soft warm light on her outline.

Zouzi blinked and her smile deepened. "Why, are you still thinking about the 'good stuff' he mentioned?"

Cuizi coughed lightly, looked away, and adjusted her sleeves with an air of calmness, "I was just thinking about my next trip."

"Besides, whether or not to go to Senluo Country is another matter."

Zouzi smiled without saying a word, as if he saw through everything. Cuizi walked towards Hong in shame and anger, ready to use work to get rid of that annoying stinky dog ​​from her mind.

Western Kingdom, the city of mountain teeth.

The residence of General Inu.

When Douya stepped into the courtyard, as expected, he saw the Dog King standing quietly in the corridor, slowly savoring the wine.

His silver hair was like frost, and his golden eyes, the usual golden color of the Cloud Dog Clan, still shone sharply in the dark, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

The Dog King knew about the trip to Penglai Island and the plan to unite with or kill the Dragon Bone Spirit.

After the death of the Dragon Bone Spirit, the strange movements in the world, coupled with Dou Ya's sudden departure from the city, were enough to make the father-in-law, who was concerned that his daughter might become a widow before getting married, worried.

When the Dog King's gaze fell on Douya, the tense shoulders finally relaxed slightly.

Douya had a happy smile on his face, and the demonic power around him was calm and full.

Apparently, this trip was not only smooth, but even achieved some breakthroughs.

"It seems that you have gained a lot on this trip." The Dog King said lightly, but there was a hint of imperceptible relief in his tone.

Douya laughed out loud and tapped the Fang Sword at his waist with his fingertips. The faint light flowing from the scabbard illuminated his handsome eyebrows.

"It's natural."

He paused, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, "But the biggest 'reward' is yet to come."

The Dog King raised his eyebrows, but did not ask any further questions, just nodded slightly.

Anyway, Douya would not treat his own people unfairly, so he was too lazy to ask questions to avoid seeing the smug face of this brat.

Because if I continue asking questions, the wine in my glass will turn sour.
