The experts noticed the hesitation that was evident in both Li Moyun and Xiao Long's eyes, and they felt like pulling all their hair out in despair.

This duo was simply too frustrating. They had already given their most sincere offer, but the two were still not tempted. They promised them a bright future that others would not be able to rival, but instead of rushing to accept, they hesitated.

What could possibly make the two of them consider delaying their future? The experts were starting to feel extraordinarily sour and annoyed when Li Moyun opened his mouth and mentioned the things that worried him.

"I have a wife. Is it possible to bring her with me?"

Although he asked the question, Li Moyun did not hold much hope. Not because he felt that they were hostile towards her, but because of her limited strength.

The Bai family had already located her, but they were not able to bring her back to the Wushi Continent since she had not broken through to the realm above the Innate Realm. Thus they could only leave Bai Mulan to stay in their backwater continent to protect her.

As he had expected, the expression of the experts fluctuated slightly. They seemed hesitant to answer as if they feared that their answer would douse all their hopes of bringing their King back with them.

In the end, the leading experts sighed and shook his head. "If she is as strong as you, then we will be able to bring her; however, if she is weaker, then she will have to stay here."

Li Moyun had already known the answer, so he did not feel too unbalanced when it was said out loud. Although a slight disappointment was evident in his heart, he could still accept this outcome.

Li Moyun knew that Bai Rouyun would enter the Wushi Continent when she had the strength to break through the barrier. She had family and a background in that continent, and she would likely face many problematic situations from both the generation that was older than her current age, the age her original body held, and those who were at her new age, and if he did not have any sort of backing to help her, he knew that she would suffer.

He had grown up in the royal family of the Richu Empire, so he was very well aware of the underhanded schemes that were going on behind closed doors, and he did not wish to see her being used as a pawn for others.

The darkness within his eyes deepened, and his gaze turned cold. For the sake of their future together, he might have to sacrifice some of their beautiful years together.

"Let me speak with my wife. She will likely head to the Wushi Continent within the next ten years as well, so I want to create a safe haven for her before that."

The experts who had come to pick up Xiao Long were surprised when they heard his words. They had thought that the deciding factor for him to enter the Wushi Continent would be to improve his strength, but now it seemed that he just wished to create a safety net for his wife's arrival.

Such a man was hard to find, and while these experts did hate him for having contracted their King, they also respected him as a man for not abandoning his wife in the face of success. Only a man with such integrity could be allowed to contract their King.

"I see." Li Moyun had decided to follow these experts to the Wushi Continent. Still, he also felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he thought of the fact that he had to leave Bai Rouyun behind.

He, who had lived most of his life without knowing the emotion called fear, suddenly felt his heart clench at the thought of having to tell her of his departure. Although it was temporary, he was horrified that she might misunderstand him.

Xiao Long understood his worries, and he, too, felt distressed. "Why leave? We can stay by her side until she is strong enough to enter the Wushi Continent alongside us. I don't want her to feel lonely."

Although Li Moyun truly wished to do so, he still shook his head. "I need to ensure that she will not be bullied when she returns. I am not sure if she will go to the Bai family or not, but she cannot erase the connection with them. They will not let her be alone, and many might even bully her as she has grown up on this Prison Continent. I have to wield strength so that no one will dare to bully her when I am around."

Xiao Long hung his head low. He understood that everything Li Moyun did was for the sake of Bai Rouyun, but he still felt uneasy in his heart. He could not help but blame himself for being the cause of the two lovers splitting up.

If it were a short period of time, then it would not be a problem, but both Xiao Long and Li Moyun had long since understood that the barrier around the continent was not easy to break through.

When they went to the Wushi Continent, it would not be easy to return, and Bai Rouyun would have to upgrade her strength on her own, which might take many years before she could step into the broader world.

"We will have to go to visit my wife." No matter what happened, Li Moyun refused to leave the continent without an explanation in person. As to how Bai Rouyun took his departure, he did not know, but he knew that he owed her to explain everything on his own.
