Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at a house that looked extremely simple on the outside. It was covered with cannon ash, bullet holes, and all sorts of paintings and graffiti. It was practically a refugee house in a refugee camp.
Upon entering the room, one finds an empty house with only a clean and pristine table and chair placed in the center.
"I saw you coming from a long way away." An old voice suddenly rang out.
Mo Han looked up at the source of the sound, which was a large, square megaphone. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What? Have you come up with some great invention this time?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Take your wine to the basement!" The old voice was deep and powerful, speaking without any politeness.
Mo Han smiled slightly, walked towards the chair next to him, and sat down. Suddenly, the floor beneath him sank, and he fell down—
After falling thousands of feet, Mo Han finally felt solid ground beneath his feet.
"Hey, Lao Tong, this thing is much more stable than the elevator we had last time!" Mo Han chuckled.
The old man, who had been facing away from Mo Han, turned around. His bald head was completely hairless, and he wore goggles. His skin did not appear old, but his arms and legs were made of regenerated steel.
His cloudy eyes held a hint of wisdom. He paused slightly when he saw Mo Han's mask, then teased, "Oh ho, you've really become a realm lord! So? This region is under your control now?"
"Of course! If you try anything funny, I won't let you off easily," Mo Han said, narrowing his eyes.
"Oh! I'm really scared! But I remember you didn't pay for the magic item you took from me last time!" the old man said with a smile.
"Ahem, it's not good for people on the same ship to talk about money."
"Stop pretending! Your arrival proves that Yan Ligu has returned unharmed! I gave you so many magical artifacts, and you actually changed the fate of over a hundred people. My Heavenly Mirror is almost in chaos because of you!" The old man said irritably, "You're clearly a cunning fox, yet you pretend to be a big wolf!"
"The Chess Alliance wasn't originally from that world, so what's wrong with me returning them to their original world? Anyway, I don't care. Yan Ligu has done you a favor, so you must find a way to help me suppress the life-and-death contract on Xiao Li!"
After saying that, Mo Han clapped his hands and threw the box he had brought onto the table. "This contains the source of his life's work. Use this to refine the pills that will rebuild his bloodline."
"I really don't know what I did to deserve this from you foxes in my past life! All this rescuing is such a hassle!" Old Tong sighed helplessly, picked up the box to examine it, and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap! This is outrageous!"
