Lin Guang just smiled slightly: "We'll talk when we gather after the end, I assure you it won't disappoint you."

Without hesitation, Lv Jiangxue bent down to pick up two boxes, put them into the Spatial Spiritual Artifact, and turned to walk toward the Gale Eagle.

Wu Zhiwen, being from a distinguished family, realized something as well, and his gaze towards Lin Guang was filled with excitement and fervor: "If it's truly the case, there will surely be a generous reward!"

Only Lv Rui looked at Lv Jiangxue, then at Wu Zhiwen, with a clear hint of confusion in her eyes, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind it.

But since the strongest members of the group, Lv Jiangxue and Wu Zhiwen, had said so, she also picked up the two boxes, although still a bit muddled, and merely followed suit in saying, "Thank you."

Lin Guang didn't mind.

He waited until everyone had left before bringing Vishdair in front of the man, "Can we add an extra seat on the back of the Gale Eagle?"

"Sure."

The middle-aged man, perhaps used to serving the noble families, showed no impatience or other expressions, and immediately took out a spare seat from the Spatial Spiritual Artifact and tied it to the Gale Eagle.

The Gale Eagle's size was not large, perhaps when they arranged for them to send guests here, they hadn't thought about fitting two people on one bird, so the two seats were basically next to each other.

Vishdair seemed utterly enthusiastic, jumping and landing on the seat at the back.

"I thought you would definitely want to sit in the front."

"I'm used to it."

Vishdair pursed her lips, "When you ride the electric bike, I'm always on the back seat."

"Want to try the front seat? The view will be better, anyway I'm not driving now."

Hearing this, Vishdair readily shifted to the front seat: "Then I'll sit in front!"

Moving the cat carrier on my chest to my back, Lin Guang also leaped up.

Once both were seated and had fastened their seat belts, the Gale Eagle raised its neck, let out a sharp cry, flapped its massive wings, and quickly gathered Wind Attribute Ether, allowing its body, weighing hundreds of kilograms, to easily lift off, like a bullet from a barrel, rising to several hundred meters in altitude in no time.

The thrust of the ascent and change in air pressure made Vishdair a bit thrilled, but soon it stabilized, and she discontentedly clicked her tongue, muttering softly, "Without the wind, it's not exciting at all."

"I couldn't handle this wind with such a quick ascent."

Lin Guang retorted, "If the shield was removed, you'd be fine, but my eardrums might rupture."

Perhaps considering the affluent or aristocratic nature of the secret realm visitors, the family had trained the Gale Eagle. It manipulated Wind Attribute Ether to form a protective shield around its body, ensuring neither of the two nor the fox was affected by the raging winds.

Maybe it heard itself being mentioned, the little fox curled up in the cat carrier stood up and looked through the transparent glass towards the blue sky outside, not at all frightened, instead excitedly squealing.

Sitting in the front, with a broader view, Vishdair soon brushed the matter aside, whistling in excitement: "This place is really *Kazdail swear word* huge!"

Lin Guang's eyes also reflected the landscape.

The sea of trees below was incredibly majestic and boundless, the golden branches merging with the horizon, with no end in sight. Birds startled by the Gale Eagle's sharp cry were circling in the air like tiny sesame seeds.

A sense of awe surged in Lin Guang's heart, making him want to shout.

Suppressing the urge to yell, he spoke calmly, yet with some elation in his tone: "It's quite normal."

According to the Great Xia's official definition, the Flame Turtle Secret Realm is a small secret realm.

This "small" is only relative to larger secret realms, and Lin Guang vaguely remembered the data given in the game was about twenty thousand square kilometers, roughly a circular area with a diameter of over eighty kilometers.

Various Spirit Master forums had posts jokingly suggesting that the categorization of the secret realms should be changed to "Medium Secret Realm, Large Secret Realm, Super Large Secret Realm".

This beautiful and magnificent scenery greatly elevated Lin Guang's mood, feeling like it finally had a touch of vacation.

"Look!"

Vishdair, thinking for some reason, suddenly leaned back to relax, causing the two to be almost pressed together, which made Lin Guang instinctively reach out to hold her. She raised her right hand, pointing her forefinger at a nearby cloud cluster in the right front, "Dragon!"

Lin Guang's instinctive reaction was to squeeze with ten fingers — from past observations, although she ate a lot, she had no extra fat on her stomach, her lines were excellent, and it felt warm and elastic through the clothes.

Lin Guang raised his head, looking in the direction she pointed.

It was a Silver-winged Flying Dragon, its silver scales shimmering under the sunlight, quite beautiful.

Lin Guang glanced with the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence, only seeing a Level 44, the gap between them being too great to gather any useful information.

Noticing the Gale Eagle's approach, the Silver-winged Flying Dragon glanced over with its large red eyes but made no expression, flapping its wings to fly away.

That's normal, the Gale Eagle is a speed-specialized Spirit Beast, and with the trait of [Wind Transformation], even if a wild Gale Eagle accidentally enters some aerial overlord's territory, the latter usually chooses to turn a blind eye; chasing it down, let alone catching, is an old challenge, and the Gale Eagle doesn't have much meat either.

Watching the dragon fly further away, Vishdair looked up at the sun in the sky, squinting slightly: "Isn't this still on the original world? How come there's a sun too?"

"That involves the theoretical knowledge area, I'm interested in explaining, but I'm afraid you won't have the patience to listen."

Sure enough, when Lin Guang appeared to want to start a long explanation, Vishdair pursed her lips, instantly losing interest.

This Gale Eagle's flying speed was extremely fast, ensuring passenger experience while still traversing twenty to thirty kilometers in about ten minutes, starting to descend.

Soon after, it steadily stopped near the crater of the volcano at a spot clearly cleared for Spirit Beast landings.

Vishdair and Lin Guang unbuckled and alighted from the 'bird,' the Gale Eagle left without a trace, undoubtedly instructed by the family in advance, considering some might care about privacy issues.

Perhaps not sensing any human presence, the little fox began squealing, so Lin Guang unzipped the cat bag, allowing it to scramble onto his shoulder, curiously observing the surroundings.

The two of them and the fox walked along a specially constructed path, passing through the Golden Birch Forest, finally arriving at the door of the bathhouse by the volcano's crater.

It's worthy of being a family; even a building used only once a year is constructed of white marble, looking quite grand, though its design inherently limits it to single-person use.

Vishdair enthusiastically retrieved the bath supplies from Lin Guang's bag, then entered it, soon followed by the sound of water in the bathroom.

Misty glass enveloped by steam, you could faintly see her outline and movements.

Lin Guang watched for a while, then quickly turned his gaze towards the volcano's crater below, and the little fox on his shoulder imitated him, stretching its head downward.

From this vantage point, the crater's diameter was not large, only about several dozen meters, and the most central hot spring below was only a circular area with a dozen-meter diameter.

Near the hot spring, there was a small platform with a sunshade, a small table, and a deck chair, spotless, seemingly recently arranged.

Vishdair soon emerged, clad only in a towel, as she usually did at home, then enthusiastically dashed barefoot on the cobblestone steps towards the hot spring, soon leaping and landing heavily into the central hot spring of the crater, causing a large splash.

"Zero points."

Lin Guang casually commented, taking the little fox into the bathroom for a quick rinse, then changed into swim trunks, descended the stairs to the hot spring side, where the water was crystal clear, with a slight blue hue, and wisps of steam slowly rising, making the surrounding air humid and warm.

A familiar piece of "white cloth" floated over with the ripples.

Turning his head, Lin Guang saw Vishdair sitting on the edge of the hot spring, the terrain there shaped conveniently for bathing. Her elbows rested on the shore, steam obstructing his vision, Lin Guang instinctively opened the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence, bypassing the obstruction and glimpsing a bit of pure white drifting freely on the water.

The silver-haired girl leaned her head back, her eyes narrowed to slits, looking extremely comfortable.
