We both acted as if nothing happened and continued to move forward. The atmosphere of Dumeng Princess and Feng Ju became heavier and heavier. I took a deep breath and quickened my pace, and Xiaomei seemed to have a premonition of something and also quickened my pace. "Wang, something seems wrong, listen." Xiaomei stopped, seeming to be listening to something. After hearing Xiaomei's words, I stopped and listened carefully to the movement around me. Unexpectedly, I heard the sound of weapons fighting. Could there be someone fighting nearby? My mind instantly thought of Dumeng Princess and Feng Ju. Could it be that they were in trouble? I immediately used Divine Power to fly to the front. Unexpectedly, I saw a group of people holding weapons. During the fight, Dumeng Princess and Feng Ju were surrounded by them, but they seemed to be two different groups of people. "Wang, look, what's going on, how did Dumeng Princess get involved?" "I'm not sure, let's help them." After saying that, we joined the fight. During the fight, I found that those people wearing black clothes did not seem to have any ill intentions towards Dumeng Princess, but instead helped Dumeng Princess them. On the contrary, the people wearing yellow clothes wanted Dumeng Princess and Feng Ju everywhere. After I found out, then said to Xiaomei, "Attack the people wearing yellow clothes." Xiaomei said yes, then turned around and attacked the people wearing yellow clothes. In less than a while, the yellow party was all taken care of by us. When Dumeng Princess saw me, she was very excited and said to me, "Great, it turns out you are fine. Don't you know? How worried Feng Ju and I were when you fell into the abyss.”
I looked at Dumeng Princess, her face covered in dust and grime, and a warm feeling surged within me.
"It's nothing, but how did you end up fighting with those people in yellow clothes?" I asked curiously.
"Well, it’s like this—"
Before Dumeng Princess could finish, a voice interrupted, "Thank you, heroes! If it weren't for you, I think our young master would have died here."
I was taken aback and then noticed a small boy, about seven years old, surrounded by everyone.
"Were you trying to save this little boy just now?" I looked at Dumeng Princess and Feng Ju.
Feng Ju was overjoyed to see me unharmed. After quickly responding to my question, he said, "Yes, after you fell into the abyss, Dumeng Princess and I were very worried about you. We could only find a small path down into the abyss to look for you. Unexpectedly, during our search, we saw those people in yellow chasing a child. Seeing this, Dumeng Princess protected the child in her arms and fought against those people in yellow. Then what you saw happened."
"That's right," a middle-aged man said gratefully to us. "If it weren't for them, our young master would have died here."
After speaking, the middle-aged man waved to the boy, who walked over.
"Come on, thank your brothers and sisters. Thanks to them, our young master is safe," the middle-aged man said to the little boy.
The boy was very polite. Upon hearing the man's words, he immediately responded with a "Yes, Butler."
"Thank you, brothers and sisters," he said before bowing to us.
"What’s your name?" The boy's politeness touched me. I paused for a moment and gently asked him.
The little boy flashed a warm smile and said, "Brother, I want Chen Shihong."
"Chen Shihong, not bad. You will definitely be someone great in the future," I replied to the little boy.
The butler smiled as he watched the interaction between me and the boy, then said to us, "Since you saved our young master, why don't you all come back to Chen Residence with us? I need to explain everything to my master and repay your kindness."
We exchanged glances, and there was a mutual understanding in our eyes as we declined the butler's invitation.
The butler was persistent and had the little boy invite us again. Seeing the innocent and kind expression on the boy's face made it hard for us to refuse, so we reluctantly agreed, thinking that it was just a meal and wouldn't be too much trouble.
We followed the butler back to Chen Residence.
Upon arrival, I was taken aback by the impressive appearance of Chen Residence. I never expected it to be so grand, and it seemed that there were still some people hidden on this isolated island.
The words of the paper-made Boss were somewhat misleading.
"Please, everyone," the butler said as he stepped in front of us. He signaled for someone to open the large door and gestured for us to enter.
As we walked inside, it became clear that Chen Residence was not only magnificent but also quite spacious, filled with everything one could imagine, resembling a modern villa.
Following closely behind the butler, we found that the interior of Chen Residence was just as stunning as its exterior, perhaps even more so.
After a short walk, we arrived at the grand hall. The hall was elegantly decorated. The butler turned to us and invited us to sit down while having tea and snacks served; his manners were impeccable.
"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I will go inform my master and take the young master to change into some fresh clothes," the butler said.
It was then that I noticed the child was covered in blood, looking quite disheveled. I nodded, and the butler took the child away.
"I never expected there were people hidden on this isolated island," Feng Ju said, glancing around before turning his gaze to me.
The Dumeng Princess, hearing this, paused for a moment and said, "You mean you didn't know there were people on the island?"
Feng Ju looked at her and nodded. "Yes, originally this island was not meant to be encountered by this world. So, it's normal for me not to know. The island is a very special existence for this world; it's like a small world of its own."
"I see. No wonder when I once mentioned the island to Father, he wouldn't allow me to ask any further," the Dumeng Princess replied.
Curiosity stirred within me after hearing her words. Was there something we didn't know about this place?
"Are there any taboos on this island?" I asked.
Upon hearing my question, Feng Ju turned to me and said, "Because, in principle, outsiders are not allowed to enter the island. If they do, they will face punishment."
Feng Ju's words deepened my confusion; none of these paper figures had mentioned anything to me about this.
Just as we were discussing, footsteps approached. We all turned to look outside and saw an imposing elderly man walking toward us, followed by the butler.
This must be the master the butler spoke of.
We stood up; after all, in such a grand household and given the expression on the elder's face, it was clear that the family valued etiquette. We certainly couldn't afford to lose our manners.
"I hear you are the ones who saved my son," the elder said as he noticed us standing.
"This is just a small effort; you are too polite," I immediately replied to the old man.
His attention shifted fully to me, and his tone softened. "You are too modest. I believe you are not an ordinary person. There is an air of respect and majesty about you, and more importantly, you carry the protection of a great dragon. Am I wrong?"
I looked at the old man in surprise, not expecting him to be so perceptive.
I nodded, feeling even more respectful towards him. The old man gestured for us to sit down and said, "I truly appreciate your presence today. I have already instructed my servants to prepare dinner. Please stay at Chen Residence for a few days as a token of my gratitude."
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "We appreciate your kindness, but we have more important matters to attend to."
The old man paused and asked, "Is it something related to the isolated island?"
I nodded. He continued, "Could you tell me about it? I would like to help in any way I can."
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes made me feel conflicted. I finally said, "Well, my wife's Vital Spirit has fallen here, on the isolated island."
"Vital Spirit?" The old man looked at me in astonishment.
I nodded again. The old man’s expression grew more animated as he said, "Now that you mention it, I recall hearing a woman's voice calling out for someone named Wang Jun day and night. But then it stopped. We searched everywhere on the island but could not find any trace of an unfamiliar woman."
