Ren Xiaoyao's cloud-walking speed was extremely fast. Soon, he flew away from the sky above Donghai City, away from the main urban area, and landed on an open space on the outskirts of Donghai City, not far from the pier.

Yingzi decided to go to the dock to inquire about the direction to the Holy Island of the East China Sea, but suddenly he remembered the soldiers he saw at the dock the day before and the search of himself and Ren Xiaoyao by the soldiers in the city. He also had a gut feeling that it would be better for him not to show up, so he waited for Ren Xiaoyao there and asked him to go to the dock to inquire.

Just as Shadow was about to ask Ren Xiaoyao to find out, Ren Xiaoyao spoke first:

"Xi, for safety's sake, wait for me here. I'll go to the dock to ask for directions to the Holy Island of the East China Sea. I'll be back soon. Just wait for me here, okay?"

This is truly a telepathic connection, Shadow nodded.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at her again, leaped up, and disappeared in front of the shadow with a light skill.

After a while, Ren Xiaoyao landed on the ground with a burst of light Kung Fu, came back, and said to the shadow:

"Xi, I asked a dock worker, and he told me that to get to the Holy Island of the East China Sea, you need to go north from here for about 20 nautical miles until you see three large islands. Then turn west and you can see it after about 30 nautical miles. The Holy Island of the East China Sea is shrouded in white fog, and there is a three-story tower on the island, which is easy to recognize."

Shadow nodded, and Ren Xiaoyao continued, "However, a large number of soldiers have gathered at the dock. It is said that the army has sent ships to patrol the sea, and they seem to be looking for someone."

Shadow was a little surprised, but soon regained his composure and said, "Xiaoyao, can we fly higher to avoid some unnecessary incidents?"

Ren Xiaoyao replied softly, "I thought so too. Don't worry, my Stepping Cloud can avoid the detection range of these people."

Shadow nodded and hugged Ren Xiaoyao tightly. Ren Xiaoyao then leaped again and flew northward over the sea.

Along the way, Shadow looked down from time to time and saw at least ten warships on patrol. Shadow thought to himself, "It's okay if they're just patrolling, but if they're really looking for someone, then this is too much trouble."

Of course, Shadow is not like Qi Qingxi in the system space, who knows what will happen next. She knows that someone is willing to dig three feet deep into the ground and turn the rivers and seas upside down in order to get her. This level is nothing.

Then he seemed to hear Qi Qingxi's inner voice in the system space, and regarded it as the voice of the system prompt: "Rebellious son, you dare to doubt the title of the leader of the hooking world!"

Shadow seemed to suddenly realize that all these actions were actually done by the man that day in order to find her?

This man is really making a fuss out of nothing! It was just a chance encounter, but he fell in love at first sight and he had to get it? This damn man is delaying my mission.

After thinking about it, and looking at Ren Xiaoyao who was flying in the wind, she felt that this man was reliable. He was handsome, rich, powerful, had status, and martial arts. He was obsessed with her but not that annoying. She thought that if only this evil system would stop interfering in the future, she might as well take the position of the wife of the leader of the martial arts world. That would be great.

She was nothing like Qi Qingxi in the space, who knew that these two men would later turn the world upside down in their fight for her, no less than the battle between immortals and demons that would happen later.

Sometimes, when a woman is too beautiful, she not only attracts a man’s soul, but also brings about a bunch of tangled things.

Just as Yingzi felt that flying with his arms around Ren Xiaoyao's waist was a bit tiring, he changed his hands and hooked them behind Ren Xiaoyao's neck. Ren Xiaoyao felt like he was electrocuted during the high-speed flight. He looked down at the beauty in his arms, wishing he could melt her.

Now there is something important to do, so I can't wait like this. Ren Xiaoyao adjusted his breathing and continued to move forward. After a while, three huge islands appeared in front of him. According to what I said before, we should fly west from here.

The fleet from before was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that no one knew where they were going, which made Shadow feel relieved.

Ren Xiaoyao turned to the west, and suddenly his vision was blocked by something like a barrier, but there was nothing in front of him. Ren Xiaoyao flew again, but was still blocked. He felt very strange.

Shadow also noticed something was wrong. Could it be an air barrier or a barrier?

Ren Xiaoyao looked for several times to see if there was a place where he could break through, but still couldn't fly over. He decided to land on the island first and then see how to get over there.

So the two of them descended vertically to the island below as if they were sliding down a piece of transparent glass.

After Shadow landed, he asked, "Xiaoyao, what's going on? Do you recognize what this is?"

Ren Xiaoyao touched something transparent that he couldn't see but could feel was a clear barrier, and turned around and replied, "Xi, I can't tell what this is, but the road to the west seems to be blocked like this."

Shadow began to secretly call the help system and soon got a reply: This is the East China Sea Illusionary Realm barrier. To pass the barrier, one must pass a test. Moreover, this test is very profound and requires the person taking the test to face his own heart.

After Shadow figured it out, he said:

"Xiaoyao, my master once told me about this kind of barrier, which requires passing a test before one can pass it. This kind of barrier often appears in sparsely populated areas. Now that I observe it, it seems to be the same kind."

Ren Xiaoyao asked: "Xi, if that's the case, how do we start this test?"

Shadow got the answer from the system, closed his eyes, touched the invisible barrier with his hand, and said, "I am ready. Let's start the test."

When Ren Xiaoyao saw his shadow doing this, he also did the same action as his shadow.

Soon, the barrier began to change color and flow like a wave. Then, a voice resembling an old man sounded: "You need to face the scene you want most and the scene you don't want most at the same time. Then, if you can show both to the other party and the other party can accept them, you can pass."

How does it sound so simple?!

Ren Xiaoyao and Yingzi looked at each other, neither of them seemed to have expected the test to be so easy. What couldn't they share? It was simply an easy-to-get-points question!

It was not until the two people who accepted the challenge entered the observation phase that they realized that it was not the case. The scenes they saw themselves were so vivid that they would not let the other party see that they were thinking this way even if a knife was placed on their necks!

First of all, there was the scene that Ren Xiaoyao himself saw, the one he wanted the most. It was a scene that was almost inappropriate for children. It was the passionate scenes of him and his beloved whom he had been thinking about day and night, with one action after another. If the shadow saw this, wouldn't he be so scared that he ran away and hated himself?

But he is a normal man, and it is normal for him to have these thoughts about his beloved from a man's perspective. However, he has always been a gentleman in front of her. If she sees these scenes in his mind, how can he get along with her in the future? Wouldn't she think he is a pervert?

The scene that Ren Xiaoyao least wanted was to have many other men standing next to Yingzi, all of whom were staring at her covetously, as if they wanted to monopolize her and swallow her alive. It would not be good for her to see this, as it would let her know that he was still preventing her from attracting other men, which would somewhat disgust her. In addition, she had already made it clear to herself last time at the inn that she would get angry if she thought like this again.

You can’t show her either of them!

Just as Ren Xiaoyao was beginning to struggle, Shadow also faced her challenge:

What she wants most is to return to the modern era, finish her thesis, become a senior executive in a foreign company, and be relaxed and at ease when her younger brother flirts with her, just like a typical queen.

The most undesirable thing is that the scenes actually show her switching back and forth between multiple different places. Because the speed is too fast, you can't see clearly where these places are. You can only see the backs of four men in these scenes, and they are obviously four different men, and there is a bloody battle in any scene where any two men meet.

Since Shadow has not yet started the subsequent plot, she has not yet recognized the other three except Ren Xiaoyao. So, is this the scene of Qi Qingxi in the system space given to Shadow?

This was more like a state of Zen within a state of Zen. Qi Qingxi even felt as if he had projected a reflection of himself, but in reality he was facing everything in his own heart.

Is that right?

Before Qi Qingxi could figure it out, the two people outside the system began to struggle. The old man in the barrier illusion spoke again: "Now you have faced your own wants and dislikes. Are you ready to share with each other?"

Neither of them knew how to answer.

All that was heard was the old man's wise laughter, and after giving a hint, he fell silent:

"You only have half an incense stick of time to decide. If you exceed this time, you will not be able to accept the challenge again, and you will not be able to pass the barrier."

What should I do?

After thinking for a while, Ren Xiaoyao said loudly: "If Qingxi doesn't want to talk about it, I don't want to force her. If she doesn't want to see it, I don't want to force her. Ren believes that if you cherish someone, you should give her her own space!"

Shadow was really impressed by these words. For the first time, he felt that the man in front of him was actually quite good.

The wise old man's laughter came again, and he asked, "Girl, do you think so too?"

Shadow replied, "Of course, everyone has a side that they don't want others to know, whether it's embarrassing or reluctant. If you force the other person to carry your burden, then wouldn't getting along with them become like purgatory?"

Shadow's words also made Ren Xiaoyao look at him with admiration and respect.

The old man laughed and said, "Okay, since both of you are willing to give each other space, then you must go through a test together. There is no food on this island, and there are a group of bat fish that like to eat human bodies. If you can survive in this environment for half a month, I will let you go."

After saying that, the colorful ripple barrier began to fade away its colorful light and ripples, returning to its transparent and invisible state, and the old man also seemed to disappear.

"Batfish? What is this?" Shadow asked the system secretly.

The system replied, "This is an amphibious creature that is unique to this island and there are many of them. They are so hungry that they will almost immediately want to eat a living person."

Shadow was secretly shocked. If there were so many batfish on this island, how long could Ren Xiaoyao resist the attacks of the batfish? Without food, Ren Xiaoyao might be able to hold on for a day or two, but now the challenge was half a month. How could he break through?

Just as I thought of this, I heard a "click" and a black object fell to the ground in front of the shadow.

It was Ren Xiaoyao who used her internal strength to knock away a black creature that pounced on her.

Judging from its appearance, it has the upper body of a bat and the lower body of a fish tail, so it must be a batfish!

They only saw a group of densely packed black creatures flying towards them. Ren Xiaoyao naturally quickly stood in front of the shadows and used his internal force to knock down one batfish after another flying from all directions.

After about two incense sticks of time, the situation on the scene was eased. It seemed that this batch of attacks had been resolved. The ground was covered with densely packed black bat fish corpses, which was very creepy.

Ren Xiaoyao used Qinggong to bring Shadow to another clean place. After putting him down, Shadow saw that Ren Xiaoyao seemed to be breathing rapidly. She was about to ask him if he needed a rest, but before she could open her mouth, Ren Xiaoyao used his palm again to split a black creature that rushed towards her. The creature was several times larger than the previous batfish. Except for its large size, its other features were the same as the other batfish, with the upper body of a bat and the lower body of a fish tail. It looked like an older batfish.

After Ren Xiaoyao split its body open, a bunch of small bat fish ran out of it. Now they understood that the bat fish that had just been split open should be a mother similar to one in their tribe that gave birth to cubs.
