But after calling for a long time, no one answered. Chan'er suddenly disappeared!
Mo Qi vaguely felt that the situation was not good.
What scheme was Chan'er playing?
He had clearly seen her before, so why did she disappear just like that?
"Chan'er!" Mo Qi weaved through the crowd, searching everywhere for Chan'er.
He paid no mind to the oppressive heat and stuffiness in the air.
"Chan'er!" The people also started shouting for Chan'er along with Mo Qi.
But no matter how much they shouted, it was to no avail.
Lost in the vast sea of people, Chan'er's figure seemed to have vanished.
Could she have left?
Just as Mo Qi was feeling utterly dejected, a graceful figure appeared before him. Mo Qi looked up and saw Zhen Zhen!
No, it was Zhu Yan!
Mo Qi's eyes lit up. It seemed she was also from the dark world!
"You're from the dark world, aren't you?" Mo Qi blurted out.
"Yes!" Zhu Yan smiled charmingly, just like the Zhen Zhen of old.
Mo Qi was deeply moved and immediately hugged Zhu Yan, "That's great, that's great!"
Zhu Yan was caught off guard and felt a little flustered.
Meanwhile, the Saintess, Shui Han, Long Qi, Qin Xiao, Chang Yu Ning, and others in the distance watched with unease.
Zhu Yan gently pushed Mo Qi away and said, "I can lead the way for you. Let's go to the dark world together, and we can find a way to solve this problem together."
"Then there's no time to delay. Let's go," Mo Qi said without hesitation.
After speaking, he grabbed Zhu Yan and prepared to leave.
The Saintess suddenly blocked their path, "Where are you going?"
Mo Qi felt bewildered, "Aren't you asking the obvious?"
The Saintess retorted sharply, "But I suspect you're trying to escape at this moment."
Mo Qi froze, his body turning ice-cold, "You actually doubt my character at a time like this?"
The Queen walked over and said softly, "Master, Yun'er is not that kind of person."
The Saintess shook her head and pointed at Zhu Yan, "I mainly suspect her character. You are easily swayed by beautiful women, and with a few words, she can trick you completely. If you become lost in her tenderness, how will you remember us?"
She knows me quite well, Mo Qi thought to himself.
"This..." The Queen was somewhat speechless, her mouth agape.
The woman before her indeed exuded a hint of wickedness between her brows. She was worthy of being from the dark world!
She understood Mo Qi, but she knew nothing about this woman. After the Saintess spoke, she was left without words.
"Don't worry, I'll be back," Mo Qi winked and said. "I can be a bit willful sometimes, but when it comes to matters of right and wrong, I won't act rashly. You seem to think so too, don't you? Or perhaps, you're afraid I'll be snatched away?"
The Saintess's face flushed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense. Have you considered how long it will take for you and her to go to the dark world and return? And how much time is left before our star and the surrounding star worlds collide with the sun star?"
Mo Qi was instantly petrified. Yes, there wasn't much time left. How could they possibly go to the dark world?
You're not tricking me, are you? Mo Qi looked at Zhu Yan with questioning eyes.
Zhu Yan smiled, "You know spatial sorcery. As long as you know the path, going to the dark world is as quick as a blink of an eye. Where the dark world is, it can be at the ends of the earth or right before your eyes. It can be very far or very near, depending on how you travel."
This time, even the Saintess was stunned. She had heard of such claims before, but could not verify them. The truthfulness of her words was yet to be confirmed, but for some reason, she felt she was speaking the truth.
"But why did Chan'er suddenly disappear, and why did you appear proactively at this moment?" Mo Qi's mind suddenly became exceptionally sharp, and he asked.
Zhu Yan's eyes flickered, and she forced a smile, "You don't think I killed Chan'er, do you?"
Mo Qi shook his head, "I just feel that these two events are related. Her disappearance was a prelude to your appearance."
Zhu Yan's eyebrows slightly raised, "Do you really want to waste time dwelling on these issues? This is a matter of life and death for so many of you!"
To their surprise, the Saintess, Mo Qi, and the others were not threatened by her at all. Instead, they stared at her intently, making her feel uneasy.
Zhu Yan could only sigh, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Chan'er was indeed sent away by me. I only have one thought: I hope you can help me break the soul contract between us. There is no ulterior motive."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi immediately believed her.
But the Saintess still didn't believe her.
Mo Qi said, "Sister Xiao Feng, just let me go with her. Trust me this once. The person you love is a man of integrity, who understands right and wrong and will not disappoint you."
"Get lost, get away from me. I don't want to see you," the Saintess said irritably.
Thus, Mo Qi and Zhu Yan headed directly for the dark world.
Along the way, they saw meteorites flying everywhere, and the air was filled with intense flames, capable of burning people to ashes at any moment.
Zhu Yan suddenly flew onto Mo Qi's back and said softly, "Brother Mo, I'm scared!"
Mo Qi was startled. This was too affectionate, and quite unexpected!
He instinctively pushed her away, sending Zhu Yan flying.
Looking back, Zhu Yan was about to pounce on him again. Mo Qi quickly reached out to stop her, "Wait a moment, please tell me, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Yan smiled charmingly, "Didn't the previous owner of this body call you that? Why are you not used to it now?"
Mo Qi's pupils contracted, "You're good, you can even deduce past events. However, although you now possess this body, you are not her after all."
"What she could do for you, I can do for you," Zhu Yan said with a smile.
"She died for me, can you die for me?"
Zhu Yan was stunned!
To be honest, she couldn't do it!
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't play these tricks, they are meaningless," Mo Qi said calmly.
"It's just..." Zhu Yan hesitated for a long time and said, "Help me break the soul contract!"
"I will help you break it at the appropriate time," Mo Qi replied. "And right now, time is of the essence. Can we not waste time discussing other matters?"
"It might be another matter for you, but for me, it's my top priority," Zhu Yan said somewhat angrily.
"I don't pose a threat to you, so why are you so persistent? And why the rush?" Mo Qi felt very surprised.
"I'm just not used to it."
"Back then, to save your life, not being used to it became habit. Now that I've saved you, you're not used to it? This isn't about not being used to it, you're pushing your luck!" Mo Qi said with a hint of anger.
"Then what good does it do you to tie me down?"
"Subconsciously, I feel that the more eager you are, the more ill intentions you harbor, and the less I will help you break it."
"What bad intentions could I have? I just want to be your equal. Don't you even grant me this right?"
Mo Qi was somewhat flustered, unsure of what to do.
He vaguely felt that she might indeed have some ulterior motives, otherwise why would she bring up such a request at this critical juncture?
However, if he didn't break it for her, what about the crisis of the star world? It was imminent!
"No, I will only break it for you after the mission is completed. Otherwise, how will I know if you truly have a solution? I seriously suspect you don't have a solution at all and are deliberately saying this to trick me into breaking your soul contract." After a moment of hesitation, Mo Qi said.
"Don't regret this," Zhu Yan gritted her teeth and said, then turned and continued to fly forward.
"Didn't you say there was a shortcut? But you've been leading me the whole way. Are you lying?" Mo Qi said, very alertly.
"We're almost there. To perform spatial sorcery, we also need to find that specific point. It's around here. Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Yan said unhurriedly.
