In the following days, Chen Hao would hide and secretly observe the old men floating above the sea of clouds every day, wishing to discover what exactly they were searching for. However, the elder fishermen seemed to only focus on looking into the sea of clouds all day long without any other actions, never once touching the fishing net behind them.

Until yesterday evening.

Chen Hao was observing the old men just as he had been the previous days. At that moment, his mood was terrible. Two days ago in front of Ye Yuqiao, tens of thousands from Rainbow Paradise pleaded with her to become their queen, and she did not refuse. Not only did she not refuse, but she also froze the Nether King's Heart above his left eye, severing his connection to it.

So at that time, his attention was not very focused, troubled and pained by that matter.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from above the sea of clouds: "Something's happening!"

Even though the sea of clouds was turbulent and the waves were frightening, they were after all just light and fluttering clouds. Hence, the sea of clouds was very quiet, quiet enough for Chen Hao to hear the startled cry from an old man above the sea surface.

At the sound of this exclamation, he was immediately drawn out of his sorrow and looked towards the middle of the sea of clouds. He saw several old men gathered together, each of the four holding a corner of the fishing net.

Clearly, they were hauling something in.

Several minutes later, under Chen Hao's gaze, the old men hauled in the net.

He saw at the center of the net was a kite. The kite was in the shape of an adorable raccoon, but its surface was severely worn. From the look of the wear, it seemed to have been caused by the wind attacking it.

This kite must not be from Rainbow Paradise! thought Chen Hao immediately. Because in Rainbow Paradise, the wind was always gentle and comforting, not causing any troubles.

Following this line of thought, Chen Hao continued: If it's not from Rainbow Paradise, then it could only be from the real world.

At this thought, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he felt a surge of excitement within him. Since the kite could enter Rainbow Paradise from the real world, then he too might be able to leave Rainbow Paradise through some exit, not necessarily having to wait for a rainbow to appear. And that exit, it must be beneath the sea of clouds.

No wonder the old fishermen patrolled and checked the sea of clouds every day, fearing that things from the real world would be seen by the people of Rainbow Paradise and then discover the exit.

Although he was 70% certain the exit was under the sea of clouds, it was not an absolute certainty. Therefore, when night came and only one old man remained on the sea surface, Chen Hao sneaked into the sea of clouds.

What he didn't expect was that the sea of clouds possessed the same buoyancy as water and also shared the same chilling cold that made one shiver.

At this time, the old man above the sea of clouds seemed to have fallen asleep on a leaf. Based on his experience, nothing would emerge from the seabed at night.

When he dived nearly a hundred meters into the depths of the sea of clouds, streaks of purple light caught Chen Hao's eyes.

He saw fishes swimming towards him.

"There are actually fish in this sea of clouds!" Chen Hao felt it was incredibly unbelievable.

When the fishes got closer, Chen Hao saw that they had sharp teeth. At that moment, he realized that these strange fishes were one of the lines of defense set up by the rulers of Rainbow Paradise near the exit, obviously meant to prevent anyone from leaving through it.

"There's no escape from heaven and earth!" Immediately, Chen Hao cast the Six Character Seal to separate himself from the fishes and continued swimming deeper into the sea of clouds.

Not long after, the number of fishes following Chen Hao grew more and more, and he finally reached the seabed of the sea of clouds. On the white seabed, he saw a black vortex.

He cautiously approached the vortex. Fortunately, the cloud currents were ultimately not water currents, so the black vortex had no strong pull.

After examining the vortex for nearly ten minutes, Chen Hao could confirm that this vortex indeed was the exit to the real world.

Inside the whirlpool, he saw the silhouette of an airplane passing by. This made him wonder, could Rainbow Paradise be another Barrier?

At that moment, the surprise in his heart outweighed his doubts. He didn't want to stay in Rainbow Paradise for even a second longer; to him, it was an unreal world that only brought sorrow.

He almost took a step closer into the whirlpool to return to the real world. But he restrained his excitement, as his friends were still in Rainbow Paradise, and the person he liked remained there, too. So, in the end, he chose to step back, thinking that, no matter what, he had to say farewell before leaving, even if he was destined to depart alone in the end.

After all, friends must part ways. A genuine blessing is needed to mark the friendship with a semblance of eternity.

It was for this reason that the events of today had unfolded.

Fortunately, his friends didn't ignore him and leave, and at this moment, the person he liked was being held in his arms.

...

...

When the elders seated on the giant leaves saw Chen Hao arrive with Ye Yuqiao in his arms, they were all startled.

Before the elders could react, Chen Hao dashed into the sea of clouds with Ye Yuqiao still in his embrace.

Once inside the sea, Chen Hao released Ye Yuqiao and instead took her hand, leading her towards the exit as they swam.

At that time, a stream of fish glowing with purple light swam past, and large nets descended from above to envelop them.

"Sword Qi!" Chen Hao said coldly, forcing the Sword Qi from within his body to surround him.

As the purple fish drew near, they were injured by the Sword Qi and died, their bellies turning white as they floated up towards the surface; the nets, too, were cut apart by the Sword Qi.

Not long after, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao reached the exit. Since it was daytime, the exit of the whirlpool had turned blue—the blue of the sky.

"Have you thought it through?" Chen Hao finally spoke to Ye Yuqiao, "Once we go out, you'll never see those people who adored you again."

"Who says I'll never see them again?" Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao, his indifferent tone and gaze infuriating her, "If you annoy me again in the future, I can always come back next year and then, marry the King and become the queen."

Clearly, Ye Yuqiao was joking.

However, Chen Hao took it seriously and was very angry. In his view, this was not the time for such jokes.

"Then you might as well stay here!"

Ye Yuqiao's expression darkened, and tears shimmered in her eyes as she said bitterly, "Why are you always so quick to abandon me."

With those words, she suddenly pulled away from Chen Hao's hand and entered the whirlpool directly.

Chen Hao was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ye Yuqiao to take such action and immediately followed her into the whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, the whistling of the wind rose around them, and Chen Hao realized he was back in the high skies of the real world.

He quickly caught up to Ye Yuqiao and once again held her in his arms.
