Chapter 296: I Miss You
The girl in palace attire put away her scattered thoughts and ignored the demonic beasts she had enlightened into human form. She turned and quietly departed.
She still needed to find a secluded place to quietly digest the Water Origin Source she had just acquired. This item could help her accelerate the recovery from the injuries she had suffered while traveling through the starry sky.
As she thought of this, the girl’s eyes slightly condensed, revealing a dangerous glint. After finding Prime Minister Father, she would definitely make that massive planetary fleet taste the wrath of a Dragon God who ruled over all demons. If only it weren’t inconvenient to bring her millions of demon soldiers and generals, why would she have to endure such humiliation!
“Speaking of which, Father Priest, you haven’t told us your story yet…”
Gentle morning light spilled into the small courtyard.
Facing the woman’s soft question, the young man’s expression paused. He suspected they had been holding this question in their hearts for a long time but had never found an opportunity to ask. Now, Selena had taken the initiative to speak up, asking it in front of the three of them.
She blinked, and the rose-purple ribbon tied at the back of her head danced in the wind, shining brightly in the sunlight. Luo Cong’an and the girl who were quietly awaiting food were both drawn by her words and turned to look.
Chen An thought for a moment, feeling that it wouldn’t be good to reveal the system’s affairs. He then pondered, “If I said I was here to save the world, would you believe me?”
…
There was a moment of silence.
“Father Priest, that’s a really cliché reason.” Selena was the first to break the silence. She frowned, her eyes flashing with curiosity. “Moreover, as far as I know, whether it was with me or with Cong’an Older Sister, Father Priest hasn’t done anything particularly special, right? If that’s the case, what does it have to do with saving the world?”
She paused here and then, as if thinking of something, her delicate eyebrows twitched. “Rather than saving the world, it’s more like you saved us.”
The woman’s words caused Chen An, who was trying to continue feeding Sanniang, to pause. It wasn’t because she didn’t believe his outlandish reason, but because of the way she addressed him. *Cong’an Older Sister?*
He silently repeated the four words to himself and inexplicably felt something was a bit strange. But then again, he thought, it did seem like something Selena would do…
Suddenly, the girl beside him leaned closer. She was almost half leaning into Chen An’s arms, her light blue eyes glancing at him, and then she slightly opened her mouth. Mu Sanniang didn’t care about the woman’s words. She never liked to get to the bottom of things. As long as she could be with her younger brother, it was enough for her. Just like now, compared to investigating the truth of the matter, she preferred to stick close to Chen An.
Chen An casually continued to feed the girl, smiling slightly. It seemed that after the intense treatment last night, the girl had become exceptionally obedient and agreeable, no longer clamoring to take him back. As he fed her, he said softly, “Actually, I don’t know how to explain it. To put it simply, you can think of me as someone who has reincarnated.”
“I originally thought I had a heavy responsibility, but in reality, after arriving in your world, I realized it wasn’t like that. There weren’t so many so-called twists and turns. It was enough for me to just live according to my nature…”
The boy’s voice was interrupted by a crisp ‘ding-dong’. He paused, looked down, and took out a mobile phone from his arms. The phone looked new, suggesting it hadn’t been used much since it was bought. It was black, and the texture looked quite high-end. After all, Lin Jingq had specifically prepared it for him back then.
As he casually reached out to turn on the screen, Luo Cong’an, who had been uncharacteristically silent all day, leaned over. Compared to the two outsiders who didn’t know what a mobile phone was, she understood what that ‘ding-dong’ sound meant better. However, for someone like Mister, who would message him for no reason?
She was lost in thought when she saw the text on the screen. The woman’s expression clearly froze.
Then, she slowly read it out word by word. “Miss… you…?” The tone paused on the last word “you” and then rose into a questioning inflection. Instantly, three pairs of beautiful eyes focused on him.
The girl sat up straight, and at her side, the black saber appeared silently. She had a blank expression, merely picking up a blue cloth and meticulously wiping the blade. Then, a plaintive voice slowly echoed. “Mister, you are truly…” Luo Cong’an’s voice faltered, her eyes narrowed, adding a hint of gritted teeth. “A philanderer…”
The young man’s expression was calm, not flustered. “Just a sister,” he said nonchalantly.
…
…
Night silently descended.
Dozens of kilometers away from the outskirts of Qing City, there stood a large villa. It was late at night, and the darkness was as thick as ink, silently swallowing everything around.
“Ready?” A hoarse male voice suddenly echoed in the empty, dim hall. It was completely dark, with no lights on. After a moment, a faint dark red light illuminated the dusty floor of the hall. In the dim light, a ritual array with a strange pattern, laid with dark red blood, could be seen. Driven by spiritual energy, the array soon began to emit one sound after another. The voices, both male and female, were inexplicably eerie, like the wails of the wind blowing through a valley, making one feel uneasy.
Of course, to Qin Mo, this sound was quite familiar. After all, in today’s technologically advanced society, it was not easy to quietly gather such a large group of “like-minded individuals.” If it weren’t for the current ritual array, which could bypass official surveillance, they would probably have trouble even communicating. You couldn’t possibly make a phone call risk being hunted, could you?
“I’m almost done here.” “Me too.” Responses, suppressing excitement, came one after another. However, Qin Mo frowned and, as if thinking of something, asked, “Ning Lao Mo, what about you? Your target is Yandu, which is of utmost importance.”
After a moment of silence in the array, a sinister laugh rang out. “Heh heh, the spiritual beast riot last time gave this old demon a chance to fish in troubled waters, and I finally managed to sow the seeds I needed. Don’t worry about me.”
“As for you yourself, don’t mess up at the critical moment.” The voice suddenly stopped and then continued, “I heard that the first person you contacted, who was known for his elusive escape techniques, still fell in Qing City, and his whereabouts are unknown to this day.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Mo let out a cold snort, and when Zhang Asi was mentioned, his tone held a hint of disdain. “I misjudged him. I thought he was careful enough and had backup plans, but I didn’t expect him to be so pathetic, to be captured by those useless people from the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs.”
“As long as we don’t go looking for trouble on Mount Qingcheng, you won’t find a cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining in the entire Qing City. What is there to fear?” Qin Mo finished speaking, a sinister look flashing across his face. He secretly clenched his fist.
“In three days, the entire Xia Kingdom will become my Blood Fiend Sect’s human flesh farm!” “Then, I will offer it to the Old Ancestor and surely receive a huge reward of direct promotion to Foundation Establishment!” “At that time, where in the entire Blue Star can’t Qin Mo go?”
Thinking of the terrifying scene he had seen previously through the holy artifact, his heart became hot. With such power, how could he easily fail like Zhang Asi? He suspected that by then, he would even be able to walk through Mount Qingcheng and Mount Longhu!
