"If you ever need anything in the future, just give me the order."
Hearing Xiao Qian say this, Luo Feng smiled slightly and replied, "Actually, I'm partly to blame for the danger you encountered this time. If I hadn't interacted with you, you wouldn't have gotten into this trouble. There's no need for thanks—just stay here for now. Let me deal with these two first before we discuss anything else. You don't have any objections if I kill them, do you?"
Xiao Qian was startled by Luo Feng's words. She never expected him to actually intend to kill her two bosses.
In the past, she wouldn't have believed Luo Feng had the strength to do so and might have even tried to dissuade him from such an unrealistic idea. But now, she had witnessed Luo Feng's power firsthand. Judging by his earlier performance, it really was possible for him to kill them both.
She no longer held any lingering attachment to her two bosses. Since they had already decided to kill her, she certainly wouldn't plead for their lives.
The emotions of these Crimson Specters ran deep.
One must not forget how the Lecherous Ghost Clan came to be—they were formed from deceased humans under special circumstances.
Among the Lecherous Ghost Clan, there were no familial bonds like parents or children. Most had long forgotten their identities from their past lives.
Thinking this, Xiao Qian said, "Be careful. Their strength is formidable. They haven't even used their full power yet. They have a final move—the Lustful Mist. Once you come into contact with it, your desires will be intensely amplified. Your mind will be consumed by lust, leaving no room for battle. You'll be completely at their mercy."
Luo Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected them to possess such an ability.
Truly, the creatures of the Red Mist Zone relied on such underhanded tactics.
Luo Feng chuckled. "Don't worry. Just watch what I can do."
At that moment, the Twin Red Ghosts' bodies reformed from their canine state.
Their faces darkened as they glared at Luo Feng and Xiao Qian, cackling, "Hahaha! What does it matter if you save Xiao Qian? Do you really think you can take her away? Do you honestly believe you can stay on Mist Island forever? The creatures of this island cannot leave it. And if a Crimson Specter ventures into other mist zones, the consequences will be dire. Once you leave, she'll have no choice but to remain in the Red Mist Zone. You might save her now, but you can't stay by her side forever!"
Luo Feng's expression shifted at their words. This was something he hadn't considered before.
Originally, he had only planned to rescue Xiao Qian, obtain the Soul Spirit Fruit, and then head to the Verdant Grassland. But after everything that had happened, he now harbored the idea of taking Xiao Qian with him.
If Xiao Qian were to stay here, the outcome would be extremely tragic.
Even if she didn't die, she would likely suffer unbearable punishment.
This was something Luo Feng could not allow.
Moreover, and most importantly, Luo Feng had already learned some information about Mist Island through the Bounty Hunter Guild.
It was indeed as the two Crimson Specters had said—creatures from Mist Island could not leave the island.
Previously, the Four-Star Bounty Hunter Hu Zhou had also held the same belief, thinking that as long as he escaped Mist Island, the Black Ghouls wouldn't pursue him.
Thinking of this, Luo Feng's brows furrowed tightly. This was indeed a problem.
It seemed he would have to look for a way to resolve this issue.
Just then, Luo Feng suddenly had an idea.
Not long ago, hadn't Tang Xuewei just acquired a White Tiger as a pet?
If so, she must have been able to take the White Tiger out of Mist Island.
Luo Feng had also seen similar cases at the Bounty Hunter Guild.
As long as an animal from Mist Island recognized you as its master, you could take it out.
However, in these rare instances, they had all involved ordinary animals from Mist Island being kept as pets.
There had never been a case of taming a member of the Lecherous Ghost Clan as a pet.
He didn't know if this method could work.
But if it really was possible, as long as Xiao Qian recognized him as her master, she could leave with him.
As Luo Feng was deep in thought, Xiao Qian, standing beside him, spoke with a sorrowful expression:
"Even if you save me now, I still can't leave with you.
I was born in the Red Mist Zone, and that alone means I can never leave this place.
You should save your energy for fighting over the Soul Spirit Fruit.
I'll help you in battle as well.
I hope this can repay you for saving my life."
As a Crimson Specter who had lived here for many years, Xiao Qian understood the situation all too well.
For Crimson Specters like her, leaving Mist Island was impossible—even leaving the Red Mist Zone was extremely difficult.
The existence of the Color Boundary confined each clan of the Lecherous Ghost Clan to their own zones.
So far, the Black Ghouls were the only ones who had managed to cross these boundaries and enter other mist zones.
This was something the Crimson Specters envied deeply.
In truth, Xiao Qian longed to see the world outside.
She had always heard stories of how wondrous it was.
Their world wasn't just a single island, nor was it just a Red Mist Zone.
Most importantly, she even wanted to go out and search for any family she might have in the outside world.
Seeing Xiao Qian's despondent expression, Luo Feng comforted her:
"Don't be too disheartened. I've thought of a method that might work.
The question is—are you willing to try it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qian's face immediately lit up with hope.
"What method? I'll try anything you suggest!"
Luo Feng pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Animals from Mist Island can leave if they recognize a human as their master.
So I was thinking—if you recognize me as your master, could you leave Mist Island too?"
Xiao Qian's face brightened with joy at his words.
"If there's even a chance this could work, I'm willing to try!"
Not far away, the Twin Red Ghosts overheard the conversation between Luo Feng and Xiao Qian, their faces revealing a hint of schadenfreude as they sneered,
"It seems you've just arrived on our Mist Island and are unaware of certain circumstances here.
The reason we of the Lecherous Ghost Clan cannot leave Mist Island isn't solely due to the presence of the Color Boundary on this island."
