After listening to the other party's explanation, Ye Chen could finally understand why she sneaked out, "This world is like this. When you gain status and power, you will lose part of your happiness."

For a long time, he was taken aback for a while, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to have such mature thoughts at a young age.

The two stopped talking, and under the long-term control, the ship slowly left the shore of the island and sailed towards the city of Sass.

Ye Chen turned to look at the island behind and sighed lightly.

I stayed here for so long, but the area that I really explored is just the tip of the iceberg.

On the island, there are still many unknown secrets waiting for him to discover, including the three-legged golden crow, and his own life experience.

‘After all, I’m still not strong enough, I hope I’ll come back next time and I’ll have more gains. ’

Ye Chen secretly made a decision, and when he came to the Seventh Ring, he would definitely return here to find out.

It's just that the two of them didn't see that when they left the boat, the bamboo forest they were in became illusory. Slowly faded, and finally disappeared on this island.

......

The capital of the Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City.

A major event happened in the city recently. According to the gossip, Princess Jiujiu, the youngest sister of the emperor, has disappeared.

I don’t know where the news came from. At first, it was only circulated in the circles of high-ranking officials and nobles. Over time, even many ordinary people knew it.

No one believed it at first, just as a rumor, but now two months later, no one really saw it for a long time.

You must know that although she was young, she was almost the goddess in the hearts of everyone in Xingluo City.

The disappearance of the goddess will naturally arouse certain heated discussions.

At this time, on the streets of Xingluo City, there were two men who had mixed up in the crowd after dressing up.

One of them looks very ugly, but he walks with a natural charm, and the other has delicate eyes, but with two handfuls of eight-character mustaches, it seems a bit violent.

These two are not Ye Chen and Jiujiu who have returned from Sass City?

"Unexpectedly, you have such a big influence in Xingluo. It has only disappeared for two months, and it has already become known to everyone." Listening to countless discussions around, Ye Chen said with a light smile. .

Having lost the concept of time on the island before, Ye Chen realized that he had spent more than three months without knowing it when he heard the people around him talk about it.

And Princess Jiujiu had already left Xingluo City for more than two months.

I remember that the object of discussion when everyone came last time was still himself, but now he has been replaced by someone else.

This fits Ye Chen's heart, and for him, he doesn't want to be so eye-catching.

The princess Jiujiu on the side looked at Ye Chen, her face ruddy, her expression somewhat embarrassed, "Do you think I am a little confused?"

Ye Chen didn't answer. The streets were crowded with people and shoulder to shoulder. Although it was a bustling atmosphere, he shook his head when he saw it. People who desire freedom."

For a long time, he was slightly taken aback, "How do you say?"

Ye Chen did not explain that in a big city, the pressure faced by the people is countless times greater than in the countryside, but there are still people rushing to it.

"His Royal Highness, let's separate here, I have other important things to do." Ye Chen stopped and said lightly.

She hasn't stayed for a long time, she has been out long enough, and she needs to go back and explain to her brother.

...

There are four or five days to leave that island. If Ye Chen wants to go to the far north, he will inevitably pass through Xingluo City, and only then will he walk with Jiujiu all the way.

But now that he is here, he is not very anxious. He plans to fix it and set off again the next day.

Moreover, there is another very important thing waiting for him to do.

After Ye Chen purchased some supplies in Xingluo City, he found a remote hotel and moved in.

Sitting cross-legged on the stall in the room, Ye Chen controlled his mind and entered the small world.

Now that he has obtained the fourth spirit ring, if nothing else, the fourth fruit must have been born on the sacred tree of Fusang.

The reason why he didn't check on the road was because there was an outsider next to him, and Ye Chen didn't trust him very much.

He wanted to use this fruit to change his fate for Old Mu, so he had to take it seriously.

Now every time Ye Chen enters the small world, he always appears directly in front of the hibiscus sacred tree. Without the slightest surprise, he spotted the sun-like fruit at first sight.

The hibiscus sacred tree soared to a height of more than ten meters, and the fruit was hidden among the dense branches and leaves.

Different from the previous situation, the texture on this fruit showed a dark red color after blood coagulation, which was somewhat similar to the three-legged golden crow newly appeared on Wuhun.

Although he didn't seem to feel much at this time, he knew that once the energy in it burst out, it would be enough to destroy an ordinary Title Douluo.

After getting the result he wanted, Ye Chen planned to take a look at Yin Ming's situation.

To be honest, there were too many things before, two or three months later, he had forgotten this person completely, and he didn't know what the other party was doing now.

Ye Chen was immersed in his mind, feeling the position of Yin Ming, but soon, a trace of doubt emerged in his heart.

Ye Chen found that there seemed to be an extra area in the small world, right at the extreme edge of the world. He was sure that there was no such area when he came last time.

And the Yin Ming he was looking for was in that area at this time.

After determining the location, Ye Chen thought, and a huge golden halo appeared in front of him.

Without further hesitation, Ye Chen walked in directly.

He only felt the light and shadow flash, and he came to the destination, but before he could find Yin Ming's figure, Ye Chen directly exclaimed: "How could it..."

In front of him was a lush bamboo forest with a diameter of 100 meters. At the center of the bamboo forest, there was a bamboo about half a person tall, and the main stem was dark green like a Shrek Academy uniform.

Strangely, there is no wind in the space, but those jasper-like leaves are swaying slightly, as if they have their own independent consciousness.

The moment Ye Chen saw this bamboo forest, he recognized its origin. Wasn't it the place where he and Jiujiu had lived on that mysterious island?

Although he was puzzled, Ye Chen still habitually began to analyze the situation he saw at this time.

I think the bamboo in the middle should be the bitter bamboo that was incorporated into his body at the beginning. This is well understood.

What he couldn't figure out was that the two were fine when they left, but why did this bamboo forest come to his own small world for no reason?

Ye Chen was puzzled. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly remembered in his ear, "You can count it."

Before he finished his words, Yin Ming came to Ye Chen, his slightly old face with a hint of surprise.
