Xiao Huo Huo's expression changed immediately upon hearing his master's words. Worried, he said,
"Master, I'm your only disciple.
If I die, who will gather the materials to restore your body?
Hurry and think of something.
Staying here forever isn't a solution."
Xiao Huo Huo tightened his grip on the tree trunk, afraid he might slip and fall at any moment.
The Old Man inside the space ring chuckled. "Haha, don't be too nervous, my disciple.
The effects of the Lustful Mist won't last forever. Just hold on a little longer, and we should be fine."
As he spoke, the Old Man turned his attention to the Tribulation Cloud gathering in the sky.
Frowning slightly, he murmured, "Someone is undergoing Tribulation Transcendence?
Judging by the scale, it should be a breakthrough from level 5 to level 6.
I wonder which level 5 creature on Mist Island is advancing?
But Mist Island is special.
For creatures here, advancing from level 5 to level 6 is much harder than in the outside world.
It's a shame we can't go and see for ourselves.
I wonder if this has anything to do with that person called Shura?"
Meanwhile, Luo Feng stood atop the Black Tortoise's back, watching the Tribulation Cloud in the distance, crackling with lightning and thunder.
The gathering of this Thunder Tribulation was taking unusually long, and it was still accumulating. It seemed the power of the impending tribulation would be formidable.
Seizing the moment, Luo Feng suddenly remembered something and turned to the Succubus. "I still don't know what to call you. You can call me Shura.
If I ever visit the Abyssal Realm in the future, I hope you'll take care of me."
Luo Feng wasn't joking. Once his strength improved, he planned to explore the Abyssal Realm since the Demon Orb could teleport him there.
His Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade needed to absorb Demon blood to grow stronger.
The Succubus looked surprised at Luo Feng's words. After a moment of contemplation, she said,
"It's been a long time since anyone called me by my name.
And even longer since anyone has seen my true face.
But soon, I won't need to hide anymore.
You may call me Ya Meidie."
Yamedie?
Why did that name sound so familiar?
Wasn't that... a phrase from the language of those "certain island-dwellers"?
Someone actually used that as a name?
Luo Feng wouldn't openly criticize someone else's name—people could call themselves whatever they wanted.
He smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Yamedie. That's a lovely name.
Oh, I forgot to mention something earlier—it's about the Treasure Map Fragment.
I hope you'll consider trading it to me.
Name your conditions, and we can discuss them."
The Succubus's expression darkened at his words. She scoffed, "You mispronounced my name again?
I said it clearly—Ya Meidie, with the 'Mei' from 'Succubus.'
Not 'Yamedie.'
If you have nothing important to say, don't call me by the wrong name.
And if you mispronounce it again, I won't be happy."
Luo Feng's face twisted into an awkward expression.
This really wasn't his fault.
If you were to ask someone what the first phrase that comes to mind in the language of Japan is,
Ninety-nine out of a hundred people would likely answer with this one:
"Ya me de."
So, when Luo Feng heard the name "Ya Meidie," his mind automatically associated it with "Ya me de."
Fortunately, Tang Xuewei was the only player present, or else this would have undoubtedly led to an awkward misunderstanding.
Tang Xuewei was currently struggling to hold back her laughter—this situation was just too amusing.
However, she didn't let out a sound. If she accidentally offended Ya Meidie, things could get awkward.
Luo Feng, not wanting to waste any more time, quickly apologized, "I'm sorry.
My mind might still be a bit affected from earlier and hasn't fully recovered.
Ya Meidie—that's a very beautiful name, by the way.
Let's get back to the matter of the Treasure Map Fragment."
Ya Meidie, hearing Luo Feng's sincere apology, didn't dwell on the earlier misunderstanding.
"Ya Meidie" and "Ya me de" did sound somewhat similar, after all.
Shaking off the thought, she turned her attention back to the Treasure Map Fragment Luo Feng kept mentioning.
"You're so eager to get this Treasure Map Fragment from me—do you already have other pieces in your possession?
How many fragments do you currently have?"
Luo Feng wasn't surprised by her question. Given how insistent he was about obtaining her fragment, anyone would find it suspicious.
He wasn't worried about revealing his intentions. Since the Treasure Map Fragment was in Ya Meidie's hands, he was determined to acquire it by any means necessary.
If she refused to hand it over, he wouldn't let her leave.
Of course, he didn't voice these threats outright—doing so might sour their relationship prematurely.
He'd only resort to such measures if she truly refused.
With that in mind, Luo Feng smiled and replied, "You're right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so persistent about obtaining your fragment.
As for the number of fragments I've collected—I currently have four.
Yours is the last piece I need.
Now, tell me—what kind of compensation would you like?
Besides, once you enter the Abyssal Realm, the Treasure Map Fragment will be useless to you. Taking it there would just be a waste."
Ya Meidie frowned slightly upon hearing this. Luo Feng was only missing her fragment—the final piece.
It seemed she had no choice but to hand it over today.
She began considering what she could demand in return.
There was no way she'd just give it to him for free.
Nor did she feel any obligation to do him a favor.
The chances of them ever meeting again were practically zero.
The Abyssal Realm was filled with all kinds of demons—not just vicious and malevolent ones.
Even the Abyss Aura alone would quickly erode a human's mind under the influence of the Abyss Consciousness.
In the Ocean World, the common practice was to wait for demons to invade from the Abyssal Realm and then eliminate them.
No one had ever heard of a human willingly entering the Abyssal Realm.
No matter how strong Luo Feng was now, stepping into that realm would be a death sentence.
With that thought, Ya Meidie's gaze drifted toward the Demon Orb nearby.
She had no other demands—that divine-tier Demon Orb was the only thing she truly desired.
But before she could speak, a sudden voice cut through the air.
"Don't even think about the Divine Magic Orb.
Not to mention a single Treasure Map Fragment, even a complete Treasure Map can't compare to a Divine Artifact.
Tell me what you need instead, and I'll try my best to satisfy you."
