Seeing the believed 'Ferocious' beast was, in fact, their Master, both Lavendia and Maia let out a relieved sigh, while they excitable looked at Dana.
Gazing at Dana's appearance themselves, they could instantly tell that she benefitted immensely from the most mysterious inheritance of the Secret Realm, causing both Lavendia and Maia to be in slight envy, but they quickly discarded this thought as they knew that whatever treasure it is would be wasted on them.
Not to mention being with Dana these past few days, they found even though she had a scary 'Treasure' addiction, in the end, she was still a good person and didn't mistreat them at all despite having the power to do so.
Thus, they have already fully accepted Dana as their master, as not only has she got extremely high potential, but also she has a good personality, which made both Lavendia and Maia accept their new role in being subordinates.
"Yes, of course, I have Master, I had been stuck with that insufferable Dryad these past few days who wouldn't stop her perverted antics." Said Maia with a pitiful expression on her face.
Lavendia smirked as she replied, "Never seen you complain about it though, didn't you even let me sleep with you?"
Maia's face turned a shade of scarlet red after Lavendia's comment, as she did indeed let Lavendia slept next to her, but that was only due to having some problems sleeping, as a result of her experience with the Male Griffin.
Thus, Lavendia's comment was truthful, but she made it sound incredibly suggestive the way she voiced it.
Observing the face of Maia, Dana said, "Hmm. You two haven't done it again, have you? I thought you have gotten over this already..."
Maia turned even more embarrassed, while Lavendia as always stood unashamedly, with an even proud look on her face.
Getting the courage to speak, Maia said, "Master, it isn't like that, I assure you that nothing happened between us!"
Dana said, "It's alright, I totally believe you. Alright, now that your Master has finally returned, I would like you to inform both of you I have found a way to leave the Secret Realm earlier than expected. I believe this is our best course of action, as I estimate I will likely have a few enemies who are awaiting me, and I would prefer to escape their notice."
Dana even believed that she could quickly return to her Master and as a result of her not showing up out of the Secret Realm, then doesn't that mean everyone will presume she is dead?
This will be perfect cover in her opinion, as she can cultivate peacefully without worrying someone would show up to cause trouble for her, therefore disturbing her cultivation.
Not to mention she can now enter the Secret Realm whenever she wanted with that exit, as it is a way back in and out of the Secret Realm, and only she knows the method in being able to open it.
Therefore, she will be able to escape to the Secret Realm in the future whenever she encounters an unavoidable trouble that she cannot deal with at the moment, allowing her to cultivate in seclusion until she is readily able to deal with that threat, or to be able to escape the notice of that individual by staying within for a certain time limit.
The Dryad said, "It is a good idea Master, but how about us? Even though we have a human form, we will still be discovered by an expert if they pass by."
Seeing the looks on their face, Dana said assuringly, "Don't worry, I got the perfect method as I received a disguise technique of the Inheritance, which is very effective at hiding Spirit Beasts from humans, and someone two realms above the user can only discover it."
Hearing that the described technique from Dana was so wonderous, both Lavendia and Maia looked at Dana with disbelief written in their expressions, clearly not believing that such a method exists.
Witnessing the doubtful looks on both of her subordinates faces, Dana said, "Don't believe me? I'll send you the information right now."
Dana also found another feature of the mark, was she could transfer information over to them, of course, it had a limit, but the technique wasn't too complicated anyway, so she quickly gave it to them.
Discovering the information of the technique, suddenly appearing within their minds, both the girl's expressions gradually changed as the more they read, going from surprised to awe within moments.
"The technique is amazing Master, and I'm sorry for ever doubting you before!" Maia said.
"I agree, I also apologise for my previous behaviour," Lavendia said.
Smiling at satisfaction, at witnessing the wonder on their faces after witnessing the technique for themselves, Dana said, "Well, do you think you can comprehend the technique enough before we arrive human territory?"

Taking Dana's words as a challenge, both Lavendia and Maia said firmly, "Yes Master; we will definitely have sufficient understand of the technique before then!"
"Good, now let's go I already know the way to exit, and by doing so we will exit days earlier before the other participants. Oh, we should also collect the valuables of those Arrogant Young Masters I had to deal with earlier...," Dana said.
Thus, before, Dana went to the exit of the Secret Realm, she once again led her subordinates to the remains of the Arrogant Young Masters, and collected all of the treasures but not within a 'Obsessive' manner as she had done previously, instead she stored all of the valuables within her storage ring without inspecting each of them multiple times, surprising both Lavendia and Maia who thought Dana once again was going to enter 'Treasure Addict' mode.
Searching around the area, Dana dealt with a few other Arrogant Young Masters which manage to escape earlier but unfortunately the Core Formation Expert was no were to be seen, so running out of luck of finding him, Dana just decided to head to the exit, therefore both Lavendia and Maia followed alongside Dana until they soon found the hidden exit precisely as described in the memories of the Mysterious Expert, and even if another discovered it, the exit would be useless to them.
"Alright we're here, now give me a moment to open it," Dana said, before approaching the ordinary looking rock formation which seemingly blends within the surroundings.
Both Lavendia and Maia, couldn't help but be puzzled at what Dana is trying to do with a bunch of rocks.
But, this puzzlement soon changed after they noticed that Dana seemed to be unlocking some sort of array mechanism, and as soon as she finished, the seemingly ordinary rock formation began to shake before a gateway like-structure, looking exactly like a smaller version of the one Dana used to enter the Secret Realm appeared as the movement of the rock formation stopped.
After it finished, a rumbling sound emerged before a portal similar to the one Dana used to enter the Secret Realm, slowly formed within the new gateway.
As the portal appeared in front of them, Dana looked back at both Lavendia and Maia, before she said, "Come on then, let's leave, the sooner we exit this place, the less likely someone will spot us doing so!"
However, looking at the portal Maia suddenly thought of something, so she said, "Hey, Master, what if someone comes across this portal as soon as we leave?"
Looking at Maia, Dana replied, "You don't have to worry about that at all, the portal will automatically close shortly. Therefore no one will discover it."
Nodding at Dana's reply to her question, the trio slowly walked into the portal before they were each transported out of the Secret Realm, many times earlier than the individuals outside are expecting!
After teleporting outside, Dana found that they seemed to be a fair distance away from the entrance which she used to enter into the Secret Realm.
Turning to both Lavendia and Maia, she said, "Alright, both of you wait here. I got to find my Master before I leave, so she won't worry about me when I don't show up among those teleported outside the Secret Realm."
Accepting Dana's orders readily, as they knew they couldn't appear within human society just yet, primarily because there were many powerful masters present due to them escorting their disciples to the Secret Realm, in addition to awaiting their exit within a few days.
Leaving the location, she left Lavendia and Maia in; Dana turned into her human form as she felt there were indeed changes.
As she found a lake nearby, she quickly arrived at it in no time, as she stared at her reflection she found her appearance has changed dramatically.
Observing her reflection, it seemed that Dana's eye colour has changed to green, but if you looked closely, there were some golden specks within them, showing that the Phoenix bloodline still affected her eye colour slightly, despite her not having two different eye colours in her human form.
In addition to that, her appearance has qualitatively improved, and her face has become even more beautiful than before.
But, not only this as Dana found the main change seemed to be her aura entirely, as previously Dana aura, was that of a cold and unapproachable person, causing a person to shiver instinctively.
However, as a result of her fae heritage, outwardly Dana seemed like a weak, innocent girl who would draw people to protect her instinctively. Also, it made her seem much weaker than she truly is, making an individual easily forget that Dana is an extremely powerful expert herself.
Thinking that this must be the whole charming aura affecting her, not to mention the Fae were known for their 'Innocent' and 'Pure' like beauty, Dana found it not surprising.
Even though she was originally slightly upset about losing her cold demeanour, as she believed more young masters would bother her now, but she couldn't help but admit that this may prove useful in the future, as it will make others reluctant to hurt her and draws others to stand up for her.
But, if someone has bad intentions? She will simply deal with it herself, as she doesn't require anyone's protection, but she still admits it would be helpful in some circumstances, as it will make people underestimate her, which Dana believes will work in her advantage greatly.
'Guess, I should find my Master then.' She thought, before walking into the Town next to the Secret Realm.
Covering herself in a cloak, Dana didn't attract attention as she entered the Town.
Observing the Town for herself as she passed, Dana found it was exactly like that of a Historical Chinese Town, with the buildings resembling what you would expect to see in one.
As she walked towards the Inn which her Master was located, the surroundings were filled with a bustling atmosphere as the street was filled with vendors selling their wares, and the loud discussions of the ordinary people as they went about their usual day of work.
But, Dana just ignored her surroundings as she focused on arriving at her Master, finally finding herself at the Inn which her Master was staying in.
Dana was about to enter when she suddenly found a commotion going on within the Inn, hearing the loud noises of a struggle within Dana suddenly thought, 'It seems my master is in trouble!'
Finding her Master needs her help, Dana charges into the Inn, preparing herself to face the threat that will befall her.
