Lei Mu and Feng Ji exchanged a glance and nodded.
For now, this was the only option, and they couldn't come up with a better plan.
Feng Xiao changed into inconspicuous clothes, disguised himself, and got off the boat.
Only then did Lei Mu notice that there was another person in the room!
He signaled Feng Ji with his eyes, asking who this person was!
Feng Ji looked at Xiao Tian and frowned. "Since you've come on board, you're not allowed to leave until the master returns."
"Why can't I get off the boat?" Seeing Feng Ji's attitude, Xiao Tian immediately forgot he was in someone else's territory. "I didn't want to come up in the first place. I can take the young master away on my own."
Seeing his attitude, Lei Mu took a step forward. "Why? Because I don't want you to leave! Kid, once you're on the boat, be obedient, or there'll be one more wandering soul in the Soul - Devouring Sea!"
"You!" Xiao Tian took two steps back, pointing at Lei Mu, his face flushing with anger. However, he really didn't dare to be as presumptuous as he was with Feng Xiao and Feng Ji.
"I'm telling you, once my young master wakes up, none of you will get away!"
Feng Ji didn't want to waste time arguing with him. "Let's talk after your young master wakes up. Lei Mu, my hands are not convenient. Take him to another room and keep an eye on him."
"Don't worry." Lei Mu picked up Xiao Tian like a chick and carried him out.

Deep in the Soul - Devouring Sea, Nan Chaoyu kept absorbing spiritual energy. The aura within her body was rising steadily. She leaped from a high - level cultivator to a Spiritualist.
At the moment of her promotion to a Spiritualist, she felt as if her soul was leaving her body. Eventually, unable to withstand the impact of the spiritual energy, she fainted!
"Chaoyu, have you finished your homework?"
"Finished?" The white - clad young girl clasped her hands in front of her chest. She was extremely beautiful and looked reserved.
The man standing above had his figure wrapped in a white cloak. A wide hood covered his head, making it impossible to see his face clearly. However, one could tell from his voice that he was very satisfied.
"You are the next heir under the Snow God Mountain and the most talented person in the Snow God Mountain in hundreds of years. I'm very gratified that you can be so diligent. Go back!"
"Yes!"
Nan Chaoyu, floating in mid - air, uncontrollably floated behind the young girl and watched her go out the door.
Following the small path, turning this way and that, she entered a remote small house.
"Mu Qihan, Master praised me today and said I'm talented. How about that!"
The young girl shed her reserved manner, held her head high, and shouted at the young man beside the table very proudly.
The young man put down the book in his hand and put on an impatient look on his face. "You're the most amazing, miss. No one is as amazing as you!"
"Hey, why are you so annoying? I am amazing. I'm more amazing than you!"
"Yes, yes, yes. You're much more amazing than me!"
The young man said perfunctory words, but the doting in his eyes could drown someone.
After the two bickered for a long time, the floating Nan Chaoyu was a bit at a loss.
Wasn't she in the secret realm of the Soul - Devouring Sea?
How did she end up at the Snow God Mountain!
Moreover, wasn't this a scene from before her rebirth?
At that time, Mu Qihan was just an inconspicuous young man in the Snow God Mountain, while she was the most favored disciple of the high priest and the heir of the Snow God Mountain.
Was it because she missed the past so much that she had a dream of the past?
Nan Chaoyu was confused about the present moment. However, looking at the expression on Mu Qihan's face.
How stupid she used to be to think that there was only pure revolutionary friendship between her and Mu Qihan.
She never thought about why she only liked to come to him and act recklessly only in front of him.
Why Mu Qihan always looked like a person who didn't want to be approached by others, but only liked to bicker with her and was extremely patient with her.
Until...
Nan Chaoyu's thoughts changed, and the environment she was in also began to change.
The bickering young boy and girl disappeared, replaced by a cold and solemn ancestral hall.
"Nan Chaoyu, as the heir of the Snow God Mountain and the new goddess, you can't tolerate your own sister. You really disappoint me!"
The young girl was still in white clothes. At this moment, she was lying on the ground of the ancestral hall, with spots of scarlet seeping out on her back.
She struggled to raise her head, with a stubborn expression on her face. "I didn't do it. It was Nan Chaoxue who framed me."
"Shut up. You're really stubborn. How dare you lie in front of our ancestors!"
"You'll reflect here tonight!"
The Snow God Mountain was covered in snow all year round. The ground of the ancestral hall was made of thousand - year black ice. No one knew how it was made, but it never melted.
The young girl lay on the ground, and soon a layer of frost covered her body!
Seeing this scene, Nan Chaoyu sighed softly.
How stupid she was at that time! She really thought that the Snow God Mountain was her responsibility. Even when she was wronged, she obediently accepted the punishment.
She didn't know that all this was a plot by Nan Chaoxue and her dearest master.
Each head of the Nan family in the Snow God Mountain was a woman, also known as the goddess. The previous head was her mother.
However, for the sake of her father, her mother had been living in the Holy Light Empire all year round, leaving her alone in the Snow God Mountain.
Later, because of her outstanding talent, she was selected as the heir.
She became the disciple of the high priest. At that time, the high priest already had a disciple, her cousin Nan Chaoxue.
In the eyes of her master and Nan Chaoxue, her appearance meant that she had snatched the position that should have belonged to Nan Chaoxue.
The two of them endured for a long time. Until on her fifteenth birthday, Nan Chaoxue framed her with a self - inflicted injury and was caught red - handed by her master.
Then she was punished!
She also got a reputation for being cruel - hearted.
Later! That night, the ancestral hall was set on fire. While she was seriously injured from the punishment, they wanted to make it a case with no witnesses.
She waited until she was on the verge of death, but no one came to put out the fire. Only then did she completely lose hope.
She mustered her last breath to activate the Nan family's forbidden spell, but the forbidden spell needed heart's blood as a guide.
At that time, she was about to die. How could she have the ability to take out heart's blood.
It was Mu Qihan who rushed into the sea of fire, sacrificed half of his cultivation and his heart's blood to help her be reborn in this current body.
This body was a puppet created by her mother using her own blood as a guide. It had flesh and blood and was no different from an ordinary person, but it lacked three souls and seven spirits, and was dull - witted.
This kind of forbidden technique was only known by the direct descendants of the Nan family. Currently, only her mother in the Nan family knew it.
Nan Chaoyu was lost in memories. Those personal experiences flashed before her eyes one by one like a revolving lantern.
The once - unforgettable emotions seemed to be experienced again, and she seemed to understand many things more clearly.
Suddenly, the floating soul seemed to be guided by something.
It disappeared and gradually became transparent.
At the same time, the body in the secret realm of the Soul - Devouring Sea slowly opened its eyes.
"Girl, congratulations on being promoted to a Spiritualist. Now this body truly belongs to you."
Those past burdens would not disappear with the passage of time, but they would temper one's mind.
At this moment, Nan Chaoyu had truly transformed!
