When Yang Kai returned to Maplewood City, the sky was already dark.

He walked into the city with ease and went straight to his secluded home.

He opened the secluded home barrier and walked right in.

Before he could take two steps though, he heard a cheerful voice call out, “Sir, you’re back!”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but freeze in shock for a moment, but after turning to see who it was, he finally remembered that another person was living here now: The little girl from the Zhang Family, Zhang Ruo Xi!

Yang Kai had spent most of his life travelling alone, so now that someone was suddenly accompanying him, he was having a hard time adapting. Furthermore, he had been busy with Liu Yan these few days, so he had almost forgotten about Zhang Ruo Xi.

After regaining his wits, Yang Kai gently nodded to her.

“Sir has been working hard these days,” Zhang Ruo Xi lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Her voice was so small that, had the secluded home not been extremely quiet, Yang Kai might not have heard her.

Yang Kai took a careful look at her and discovered that she looked a little nervous, her two hands pinching her clothes as she fidgeted slightly.

“Master, who is this little girl? She seems to be afraid of you,” Liu Yan’s voice rang in Yang Kai’s head as she continued in a teasing tone, “Her strength doesn’t seem too high… Master wouldn’t happen to have kidnapped her, would you? But… en, this little girl is pretty good, she has quite a nice figure for her age, tsk tsk…”

Before Liu Yan could continue any further, Yang Kai directly threw her into the Sealed World Bead and cut off contact with her.

Inside the Small Sealed World, Liu Yan stood stunned for a moment before snorting, “A guilty conscience makes a man become a coward!”

After having said this, she searched for the location of the Sun’s True Essence before transforming into her Firebird form and flying over to it, preparing to absorb more of its Sun’s True Fire to strengthen herself.

Inside the secluded home, Yang Kai looked at Zhang Ruo Xi nervously fidgetting and asked, “Have you been waiting here?”

Had she not been waiting here, it would have been impossible for her to appear the moment he entered the secluded home.
