Nalan Zhao did not answer, but silently held Shen Zhiyi's hand.

He didn't know how to answer that question.

Shen Zhiyi sighed, not wanting to force Nalan Zhao to give her an answer.

If she could really return to Earth, she would still want to go back, after all, that's where she grew up.

"Let's go home." Shen Zhiyi shook the hand that Nalan Zhao was holding.

Nalan Zhao nodded and followed Shen Zhiyi's steps.

"Ah Zhao, don't overthink it. What I just said wasn't to force you, but just to help you think things through."

Shen Zhiyi spoke again, feeling that it was better to make things clear.

“There are different worlds between us. If you’re just greedy for what’s good right now, then don’t think too much about it. But if… well, you need to think this through.”

"Hmm." Nalan Zhao hummed in response, his eyes lowered, his thoughts unreadable.

Not long after I got home, Nalan came looking for me.

"Can't I listen?" Nalan Zhao frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why Nalan was looking for Shen Zhiyi.

However, he seemed to remember something and realized what Nalan's purpose was in seeking out Shen Zhiyi.

"Uncle!" Nalan Zhao called out, but Nalan's expression left no room for refusal.

Shen Zhiyi said, "Could you wash some Bijia fruit for me? I want to eat some."

Since Shen Zhiyi had already spoken, Nalan Zhao opened his mouth, but still agreed, "Okay."

While Nalan Zhao went to wash the fruit, Shen Zhiyi followed Nalan outside.

"How far have things progressed between you and Xiao Zhao?" Nalan asked bluntly.

Shen Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Let's understand each other's feelings."

Nalan sighed. He hadn't come to break up the couple; he just wanted to know Shen Zhiyi's attitude.

"Xiao Zhao wants to give up Xianyun Island."

Shen Zhiyi widened her eyes slightly and asked, "Because of me?"

Nalan nodded.

Shen Zhiyi fell silent. That poor kid.

"We all know that you are a player from another world."

"Your arrival is also due to Xianyun Island, and this is where Xianyun Island has wronged you."

At this point, Nalan sighed again, "Players will eventually have to return to their original world, and even you will be no exception."

"I originally just wanted you to help treat Xiao Zhao's anorexia, who would have thought he would..."

"The system was originally entrusted to Immortal Cloud Island by a powerful being, but it was stolen and disappeared more than ten years ago."

And then, more than a decade later, you appeared in interstellar space, and we knew that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.

"The person who stole the system was Nalan Ling, but we don't have direct evidence to prove that she was the one who stole the system in person."

I don't know how she activated the system, but... it was our Nalan clan's negligence that allowed the system to be stolen.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but ask, "Since you know it's Nalan Ling, why don't you just arrest her?"

“We have no evidence,” Nalan said with a wry smile. “We want to arrest him, but we can’t. Without evidence to prove it, we can’t arrest Nalan Ling.”

Moreover, she's just waiting, waiting for us to make a move against her so she can use that leverage to gain more control.

"What is the way to go back? I think you should know," Shen Zhiyi said calmly.

Nalan paused for a moment, unsure whether he should tell Shen Zhiyi the truth.

But we've already said so much, what's a little more?

"Once your luck reaches 50, you can return to Earth."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned. How much? 50?

Shen Zhiyi was a little incredulous. She asked, "Really? This is the only condition? No other requirements?"

After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Does it only require one person's luck value to reach 50, or does everyone's luck value need to reach 50?"

"Whoever's luck value reaches 50 can return to Earth first. Of course, after reaching 50 luck value, there will be two options: yes or no."

Shen Zhiyi understood. Her luck stat was just a dozen points away from 50, so she could go home.

A strong desire welled up inside her, and she couldn't wait to take all the lucky cards out of her backpack and crush them.

But then she thought of Nalan Zhao inside the house, which quickly calmed her down.

Shen Zhiyi still needs to think about where she should place Nalan Zhao.

"Are people here allowed to travel freely to other worlds?" Shen Zhiyi suddenly asked.

Nalan probably expected Shen Zhiyi to ask this question, so he wasn't surprised. "No."

"Then what about Zhao?" Shen Zhiyi blinked. Why did Nalan Zhao look like he wanted to go to Blue Star with her?

Nalan fell silent.

After a long silence, he said, "If he wants to follow you to your world and stay there forever, he will have to give up his identity on Immortal Cloud Island."

"He gave up everything on Immortal Cloud Island, which means that he will no longer exist in this world, and your world will not acknowledge his existence."

"After all, the world consciousness will automatically determine whether a person is from this world. If he does something he shouldn't do in your world, the world consciousness will eliminate him on the spot."

"..." For a moment, Shen Zhiyi didn't know what to say. Wasn't this what they called an unregistered resident?

Nalan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and took a few steps forward. "I'm just telling you what I need to tell you. I didn't mean to sow discord between you two. I hope you can handle this well."

But in Nalan's heart, he didn't really want Nalan Zhao to leave Xianyun Island because of Shen Zhiyi, because that would not be worth it.

Shen Zhiyi understood Nalan's meaning. She shared the same thought as Nalan and did not want Nalan Zhao to return to Blue Star with her.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Nalan Zhao properly."

Nalan nodded. "You can go in now. I have something to do, so I have to go."

Shen Zhiyi replied with an "Okay," and said, "Goodbye."

"goodbye."

Shen Zhiyi stood there, watching Nalan's figure walk further and further away before entering the house.

As soon as I entered, I saw Nalan Zhao already sitting on the sofa, probably wanting to ask what they had been talking about.

"The price you pay to go to Earth is so high, why are you still going?" Shen Zhiyi sat down next to Nalan Zhao.

Nalan Zhao pursed her lips. Why did Uncle tell my sister everything?

Shen Zhiyi stroked Nalan Zhao's soft hair. "I won't ask you anymore. You're not a child anymore. You should be responsible for your actions."

Nalan Zhao nodded. "Sister, have some fruit."

Shen Zhiyi smiled gently at him, and the two of them stopped talking about it.

After finishing the fruit, Shen Zhiyi went back to her room early.

"Yi Yi." Fox Moon transformed into human form, lay on the bed, and looked at Shen Zhiyi beside her.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhiyi asked.

Fox Moon leaned closer to Shen Zhiyi and asked softly, "Yiyi, if you go home, will you take us with you?"
