After more than a day, An Yao saw land once again. She saw the warm sunlight, the soft sandy beach, and she saw... the hope for life! She was on the verge of tears from being so moved.
After an uninterrupted journey of a day and two nights at high speed, Xi'e finally led her to escape the pursuit of the merfolk king city and reached a small island near the inland.
This island was somewhat similar to the one where Xi'e had captured her for the first time. It seemed that he liked to confine his favored females on small islands — his unique preference had been fully displayed in the original work.
However, this island was larger than the previous one and had better scenery and abundant aquatic resources.
