At first, Xiao Hua Ting felt that her teacher seemed to have no obvious changes.

Being handsome is a feeling, and she felt her teacher was very handsome.

But upon closer looks, she was captivated by Wang Jixuan's eyes. They were calm like a lake under the azure sky dome or deep like the summer night sky, inevitably drawing one in.

Mu Dan leaned over and murmured, "Looks good, doesn't it? Hehehe."

Master Wang calmly picked a piece of roasted spiritual beast meat for his senior disciple.

Xiao Hua Ting bowed her head with an "um", casually smoothing the playful strand of hair beside her ear and pretending to answer calmly, "Teacher is even more handsome than before!"

"Your mental state has improved nicely."

Wang Jixuan commented sincerely.

He continued to serve dishes to Xiao Hua Ting, all rare ingredients only available in this Secret Realm.

Xiao Hua Ting happily ate, completely forgetting about the current dangerous situation.

Over a hundred mechanical bodies were working steadily nearby.

Xiao Hua Ting turned her head towards the corner where the stone plate door was open, revealing a steel base under construction inside. It was more advanced and 'denser' than their First Base.

Mu Dan explained beside her, "The Second Base started construction just over a decade ago. It was previously impossible to acquire external minerals, but now I've mined out all ores in this small world. The Second Base is about ten times larger than the First Base."

Xiao Hua Ting whispered in awe, "So powerful."

"Hmm... this is just our portable base."

Mu Dan smiled mysteriously:

"What keeps the Heavenly Dao from attacking directly is our strongest trump card nowadays."

Master Wang sighed, "Still can't be careless. Golden Immortals, Daluo, these ranks of experts are all super soldiers individually."

"Indeed," Mu Dan laughed, "Now it's up to the boss when you step into Daluo Golden Immortal, I can help you fight ten!"

"Why should I fight ten?"

Wang Jixuan leisurely grabbed a mouthful of greens and comfortably chewed.

He now relishes all actions that satisfy his cravings.

Master Wang slowly said:

"Finding cracks between old powers, striking opportunistically, sowing discord, when two tigers fight, we benefit from the sidelines, this is the choice of the wise."

"Yes, yes, the boss is wise."

Xiao Hua Ting didn't ask much more.

She had read the diary and guessed that Mu Dan must have created a large fleet of mechanical civilization.

However, she was unsure of how Mu Dan managed to transport these fleets from the universe's edge to the Immortal Realm, entering the Immortal Realm should still be quite challenging.

Wang Jixuan asked, "How were you discovered by Hei Yao?"

"This..."

Xiao Hua Ting briefly recounted her previous encounter.

She then took out the letter dictated by Hei Yao, which she penned.

Master Wang took it, glanced at it, then burned it directly with a bit of True Fire.

Master Wang coldly said, "It's all nonsense. Do they want us to cooperate with them? They're just dreaming."

Mu Dan asked, "What do they want to do?"

"Publicly said nothing, but actually, they want me to bow to the Heavenly Dao, accept its constraints, and make you a lapdog of the Heavenly Dao."

Wang Jixuan spoke irritably:

"Anyway, my wish to become immortal has been fulfilled. Now I desire nothing, just a reckoning, to demand justice.

"They treat us as subhumans in their essence."

Mu Dan comforted, "Boss, let's not talk about this, we're welcoming Xiao Hua Ting."

Xiao Hua Ting murmured softly, "If it weren't for the Crystal Coffin being shaken out, I would've stayed there obediently... Have I troubled teacher again?"

"What trouble is this?"

Wang Jixuan revealed a gentle smile:

"Waiting in place would be far more dangerous, once back in the Present World, Senior Bai Gu's protection dissipates on its own."

Mu Dan also felt the lingering fear: "Luckily, it was at the East Sea Sea Eye, considered one of the most desolate areas in the Immortal Realm, or you'd have been found long ago. Being so cute and singing so well, it would've been troublesome if a powerful figure took you as a concubine."

"No way, I'd rather die than submit!"

Tap!

Wang Jixuan tapped the back end of chopsticks on Xiao Hua Ting's head.

"What dying; living well is the strongest! As long as you can survive, I'll naturally come to take you."

"Yes, yes," Xiao Hua Ting responded submissively.

Mu Dan propped her chin up, staring at the palace door, sighing lightly: "I wonder how Chi Chi is now."

"No news on Chi Chi?"

"None," Mu Dan said, "I know the general location of Red Snake, it's in an Ancient Battlefield, after the boss and I returned to the Present World, Senior Bai Gu also transmitted voice to greet us."

"What about Miss Amina?" Xiao Hua Ting asked, "She, along with Mao Mo and Captain Zheng, were with Senior Bai Gu, weren't they?"

"Senior Bai Gu can't approach the Immortal Realm for now."

Wang Jixuan brought this up, feeling worried:

"Feather God Palace Master, Beast God Palace Master, and Heavenly Net Alliance Leader, that fierce woman, are now chasing Senior Bai Gu.

"These three Daluo Golden Immortals can't traverse time, but they can guard the Present World.

"Additionally, there's the omnipresent Heavenly Dao commanding. Senior Bai Gu wanted to come for me but was ambushed by these three experts, and they likely fought outside the Immortal Realm.

"For now, no news is the best news. They should be fine under Senior Bai Gu's protection."

Xiao Hua Ting slightly nodded.

She noticed her teacher was also concerned about the safety of other teammates.

Mu Dan added, "Compared to them, our current situation is actually the most dangerous."

"Manageable," Wang Jixuan picked up a wine glass, taking a sip, savoring the myriad flavors of the Immortal Brew blooming on his tongue.
