Seven days.

Lin Yongming stayed at Xiao Rou's place for seven days, quietly cultivating and adjusting to his new external spirit bone, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings.

Although the fusion with the wings wasn't fully complete, they no longer caused the intense rejection they had at the beginning.

Realizing that he couldn't continue to impose on Xiao Rou and her family, Lin Yongming proposed the idea of leaving to continue his training.

Lin Yongming had already planned to head to Suotuo City as his first destination, even without Xiao Rou's suggestion. The Great Spirit Arena there was indeed the most suitable place for him to hone his skills.

By battling different spirit masters in the arena, Lin Yongming could accumulate valuable combat experience.

When Lin Yongming brought up his plans, the Blue Silver Empress immediately insisted on going with him.

"Sister Ah Yin, I'm going out to train, not to have fun. Maybe it's better if you don't come along," Lin Yongming said helplessly.

After all, Suotuo City, while not a first-tier city on the continent, was still a developed second-tier city. Even if there were no Title Douluo there, it was possible that Spirit Douluo-level experts could be present.

"No! I'm coming with you. Besides, I promised your parents I'd take care of you. You're still young, and a big city like Suotuo is full of temptations and dangerous people. You could easily get into trouble or get hurt. Plus, if you get injured in the arena, I can heal you," the Blue Silver Empress declared, standing up and placing her hands on her hips in a tone that brooked no argument.

"Sister Xiao Rou…" Lin Yongming immediately turned to Xiao Rou, hoping she would persuade the Blue Silver Empress to stay.

"Don't look at me. Even though I'm her sister, I can't control her. Besides, having her with you will be a good thing. She can watch out for you," Xiao Rou replied nonchalantly, sipping her water.

Well, there was nothing Lin Yongming could say now. Under the Blue Silver Empress's firm insistence, he reluctantly agreed.

"In the original story, Xiao Wu stayed in Suotuo City for two years without any issues, so it should be fine for the Blue Silver Empress to come along," Lin Yongming thought to himself, though he still felt uneasy.

"Just a friendly reminder, you're only eight years old. When you register at the Great Spirit Arena in Suotuo City, make sure to say you're older. Otherwise…" Xiao Rou added, breaking the silence.

Lin Yongming naturally understood what she meant. An eight-year-old Spirit Elder would be unheard of, and if he revealed his true strength in the arena, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of various forces.

If anyone were to investigate and find out his real age, it would lead to a lot of trouble.

Tonight was their last night at Xiao Rou's place. Since they would be leaving early the next morning, Lin Yongming went to bed early.

"Ah Yin, when you get to Suotuo City, I don't recommend you participating in the arena battles. Even though there might not be any Title Douluo there, there could be Spirit Douluo. If you step onto the stage, you'll draw too much attention, and you might end up exposing yourself," Xiao Rou said earnestly as she lay next to the Blue Silver Empress.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Rou. I'll do my best to hide my aura in Suotuo City. Even if Xiao Ming gets hurt, I won't heal him in public," the Blue Silver Empress replied with a serious expression.

"That's good to hear. Beings like us are too rare. I really don't want anything bad to happen to you," Xiao Rou sighed.

"You too. This is the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, so you need to be careful. Don't let any passing Title Douluo spot you," the Blue Silver Empress reminded her.

"Right. Let's all stay safe."

The next morning, Lin Yongming woke up feeling refreshed and immediately noticed the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen.

"You're up. Go wash your face. Breakfast is ready. Consider this a farewell meal for the two of you," Xiao Rou said as she brought out the food.

"Sister Xiao Rou, you're too kind. I've really troubled you these past few days," Lin Yongming said politely.

"Stop being so formal. Let's eat."

After breakfast, Lin Yongming and the Blue Silver Empress packed their things and bid farewell to Xiao Rou.

"Wishing you a safe journey. Come visit again when you have the chance!" Xiao Rou said warmly.

"Goodbye, Sister Xiao Rou!" Lin Yongming and the Blue Silver Empress waved as they left.

After leaving the village, they reached the main road.

"Xiao Ming, Suotuo City is northeast of Wurto Town. If we walk at a normal pace, it'll take us several days," the Blue Silver Empress said, checking the map.

"Alright, let's go. Maybe we'll come across a passing carriage along the way," Lin Yongming replied.

"Carriage?!"

"What's wrong?"

"You have the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings. Why don't we just fly there? Why suffer through riding a carriage?" the Blue Silver Empress suggested.

"But what about you?" Lin Yongming asked, confused.

"You dummy! Just carry me while you fly. Isn't that simple?" the Blue Silver Empress said, tapping Lin Yongming's head.

"Uh… that doesn't seem appropriate," Lin Yongming said, feeling embarrassed.

"Why not? Do you really want to ride a carriage all the way to Suotuo City? Don't you remember how much your butt hurt last time?" the Blue Silver Empress retorted.

"Fine… I'll carry you," Lin Yongming said, reluctantly extending his arms.

"That's more like it," the Blue Silver Empress said, wrapping her arms around Lin Yongming's neck. "Now pick me up. If you can't even carry someone properly, how are you going to carry your bride in the future?"

"..." Lin Yongming had no response. He simply picked her up in a princess carry, one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back, while she clung to his neck.

"Sister Ah Yin, you're kind of heavy," Lin Yongming muttered. "Good thing I'm still young."

"Shut up! Learn to speak properly," the Blue Silver Empress said, her face turning red as she rested her head on Lin Yongming's shoulder. "Let's go before it gets too hot. And don't let go of me. If you get tired, we'll take a break."

"Don't worry, I won't let go," Lin Yongming assured her. "Let's go."

"Alright, let's set off," the Blue Silver Empress said softly.

With the Blue Silver Empress securely in his arms, Lin Yongming summoned the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings. With a gentle flap, they rose into the air, soon reaching a height of a hundred meters.

The wings shimmered with a blue light, and Lin Yongming's figure transformed into a streak of lightning, speeding toward Suotuo City.

"So fast!" the Blue Silver Empress exclaimed, closing her eyes against the wind and pressing herself closer to Lin Yongming.

"Sister Ah Yin, you'll need to guide me. What if we go the wrong way?" Lin Yongming said, unaffected by the wind since his eyes were covered with a black cloth. His hair, however, was a mess from the wind.

"Just keep flying straight for now."

Under the Blue Silver Empress's guidance, Lin Yongming flew swiftly toward Suotuo City.

This would be the starting point of a new chapter in his life.
