At this time, in the virtual realm located at the center of the Three Thousand Worlds, the snow-capped mountains and the green grasslands are clearly separated, and the four seasons coexist harmoniously here.

A tall castle stands in the center of the void. The snow on the dome has not melted yet, and the fallen leaves carried by the wind have already covered it.

It was dinner time, and the long table in the restaurant was filled with all kinds of delicious food. The six people sitting there all had exquisite faces and graceful manners.

A young man with green eyes similar to Mu Mu's looked at the empty seat and sighed, "Little Mu Mu hasn't come back yet. I'm really worried."

He was dressed in a refreshing green robe, with waist-length hair draped behind his back. His soft and delicate features always had a faint smile on their faces, making people feel like they were bathed in a gentle breeze.

He is Mu Mu's fourth brother, Xiran.

Sitting next to Xiran was a girl with silver hair and blue eyes. She looked only eleven or twelve years old, with long silver hair braided into two pigtails hanging down her back.

She held her chin in her hand and said, "Why are you worried about that silly boy Mu Mu? With his physique, he can go to those worlds like a fish in water."

"If you ask me, it's still the fifth brother who made the biggest sacrifice. He even let Mu Miao take his wife away. Oh, no, you two have already broken up. It should be his ex-wife."

Having said this, she shook her head with a gloating look, and her two braids swayed playfully.

The fifth brother she was talking about was Qu Linxi. Qu Linxi's eyebrows were dark and his eyes were starry, and his brows were habitually furrowed. The veins on his hand holding the chopsticks were bulging. He met her provocative gaze and gritted his teeth, "Yin Jingnan, you really want to make things difficult for me, right?"

Yin Jingnan spread his hands innocently, "My brother, can you blame me for this? You created the 002 system, and the reason why 001 fell out with you was because of the personality you set for him. This has nothing to do with me."

She has a sweet appearance and has two dimples when she smiles, but in Qu Linxi's eyes she is just a little devil.

The young boy with golden eyes beside Yin Jingnan pushed her arm worriedly, "Jingnan, stop talking."

Qu Linxi was completely enraged by her words and stood up. "Blame me? If it weren't for you, would I be in such a miserable state now?! Back then, space was disrupted, Mu Mu was injured and regressed to the larval stage, and the dead creatures couldn't enter the cycle of reincarnation. It was you who forced me to create 002 to take over the soul."

His extremely loud voice echoed in the empty restaurant, and Qu Linxi's eyes turned red. "I already said it, I only want 001. You forced me to cheat!"

Yin Jingnan scoffed and laughed, "Don't flatter yourself. The sexual orientation you set for 001 is clearly straight. You two are not on the same track at all, and you are cheating? He doesn't like you at all."

Qu Linxi: “…”

But it was the fact and he couldn't refute it, so... he was so angry!

Old San Ning Xingyi, who loves watching shows the most, watched their comings and goings intently, and it was so delicious while eating!

The most silent Yan Xu could only keep picking up food for Xiran.

Yin Jingnan and Qu Linxi have been fighting for so many years, and Yin Jingnan knows how to stab him in the back. "Even his wife has to do it herself, ah~ how sad~"

Qu Linxi: “…”

The chair scraped against the ground, making a harsh sound, and he stood up and left.

If you can't provoke him, can't you just hide from him?

Xiran looked at the smug Yin Jingnan with his gentle dark green eyes and said helplessly, "Tell me, why do you always make him angry? It's fun to see him so angry."

Yin Jingnan poked the vegetables in the bowl with chopsticks and looked at his back. A flash of hatred flashed across his blue eyes. "I... hold grudges."

"By the way, Mu Mu will probably be back in the next few days. The destruction of his world has accelerated."

Xiran frowned, "How could this happen? Did something happen?"

Yin Jingnan shrugged. "It's okay. I guess some powerful NPC deviated from the trajectory. It's no big deal. That world has ended anyway, and Mu Mu is just going to let it enter reincarnation."

…

Mu Miao knew which brother 001 was talking about, Qu Linxi.

He had a sad face, [How could he be like this?]

001 echoed, cursing him with a personal touch: [That's right, he's a complete beast, a total idiot who doesn't know the difference between men and women! Damn, not only did he offend people, he even got me beaten up. He looks like a decent guy, but he never does anything serious!]

Mu Mu was confused by his string of angry insults, and the slight depression in his heart disappeared. He defended his brother, "My brother, I don't think he's that excessive..."

It's just that the tone is a bit hollow.

001 acted like a seasoned veteran and told him, "What do you know, little brat? Remember, whatever I say is what I say. Got it?"

You are so domineering, Mu Mu complained in his heart, but still nodded obediently.

Suddenly, Zhou Qinyao's shrill plea brought Mu Miao back to his senses.

"Yu Chen, I beg you! Please go and save Afan and Xiaokai, I can't lose them again." Zhou Qinyao knew that with her strength, there was no way she could rescue Yu Kai and Yu Fan when they were surrounded by monsters. Now only Yu Chen could save them.

She was about to kneel down and beg him, but Yu Chen raised his hand to stop her, took a step back, and said in a cold and inhuman way, "I can't save you."

Zhou Qinyao burst into tears and thought in despair, is she going to experience their death again?

"But he can." Yu Chen put his arm around Mu Mu's shoulders and, facing his bewildered gaze, led him to Zhou Qinyao. He stroked Mu Mu's face with his hand, his dark eyes revealing no emotion. "Xiao Yu, I won't go to save them. Do you want to go?"

001 said: [Go, now all the NPCs are here, you must go too.]

Zhou Qinyao immediately placed her hopeful eyes on him.

Mu Miao tugged at Yu Chen's clothes and looked into his eyes. "Why? You wanted to go, but why did you reject her?"

Why does he say things that are not what he means?

Yu Chen gently pushed his back and said, "Go ahead. You can end his suffering, but I can only prolong it."

Mu Miao remained silent. He met Yu Chen's black eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and felt that none of his secrets could escape his eyes.

Perhaps he already knew his identity.

Mu Miao finally followed Zhou Qinyao down the mountain. On the gravel path, he stopped and looked back. The man was standing at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes following his footsteps.

Yu Chen didn't expect him to turn around suddenly. A faint smile appeared on his usually cold face, and then he mercilessly looked away and turned back to the yard.

At this time, there was another person in the yard. He had a green "Shamatte" hairstyle and wore a leather jacket. He crossed his legs and looked at Yu Chen. "Hey~ Boss, it's really not easy to find you."

Yu Chen's gaze lingered on his hair for a few seconds. "Are you being cheated on?"

Rong Xilan laughed heartily, "Boss, what are you talking about? I don't even have a girlfriend, so I won't be cheated on at all."

"It's you." Rong Xilan jumped up and walked to his side, looking at him carefully, "How did you really become an NPC? We always thought you had enough points and left the system. If I hadn't seen a little beauty today, and you were beside the little beauty..."

He had a mocking look in his eyes and a nasty smile.

Yu Chen's eyes were indifferent. "Are you done? Then get out."

Rong Xilan stood in front of him and pestered him, "Boss, I spent a lot of effort to enter this dungeon. Tell me, is he the one you have always liked? The one you met when you were a child?"

He and Xi Yunchi have known each other for a long time and have a general idea of ​​his affairs.

Rong Xilan knew that Xi Yunchi was most likely tricked by the system. Combining the background of this copy, he reasonably guessed that this world was the world where Xi Yunchi had stayed before entering the system.

In other words, Yu Chen is the original Xi Yunchi.

"So what if it is?" Seeing Rong Xilan suddenly excited, Yu Chen changed the subject and said, "So what if it isn't?"

Rong Xilan sighed in boredom. "Alright, I won't ask anymore. So, tell me what you should do now? You can't really stay in this dungeon forever."

He looked worried. "But I noticed your strength has weakened a lot. Can you really get out?"

With his soul shattered into pieces, how could his strength not be weakened? Yu Chen didn't tell him about this, not because he was worried about him, but mainly because he felt embarrassed.

He told him calmly, "You can't get out."

He raised his eyes to the blue sky. "The system is now strictly controlling me. Even if I change the direction of this world, the system will return to its original state after a reset."

Rong Xilan was anxious, "What should I do then?"

"Nothing to do, just wait." Yu Chen raised the corner of his lips, "Maybe this time I can really wait until the dungeon is closed."

…

On the other side, Mu Miao was disappointed: [001, am I being abandoned?]

001 was about to comfort him when he heard the silly kid continue, "Humph! Then I don't care about him anymore. I'll never...never kiss him again!"

001 swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, because... he didn't really understand them being gay.

In order to show that he was very angry, Mu Miao decided to break up with Yu Chen... He would break up with him until Yu Chen came to comfort him. He was also very vindictive!

Thinking of this, Mu Mu put Yu Chen behind his mind and followed Zhou Qinyao's pace. Even though Zhou Qinyao was over eighty years old, she was still in good health. She walked so fast that Mu Mu almost couldn't keep up with her.

During the time they were together, no one noticed that a little bit of green light overflowed from Mu Miao and merged into Zhou Qinyao's body.

The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the more pronounced the strong smell of blood became. Mu Mu didn't react much. He had seen too many tragic scenes of corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowing like rivers with Jing Nan, and he had developed a strong mentality.

Zhou Qinyao regretted it at this moment. She looked at Mu Miao's frail body and those clear eyes, and a look of pity flashed across her eyes. "Child, you should go back. Go back to Yu Chen. He will protect you and help you escape this disaster."

After saying that, she ignored Mu Mu's stunned expression and resolutely stepped out of Yu Chen's protection range and plunged into the village where monsters were wreaking havoc.

Mu Miao stood there, feeling rather helpless, with no one to turn to and no one to move forward. […001, am I being abandoned again?]

001: [Catch up quickly, or she will die too. ]

He moved his feet, ready to catch up, but just after he took a few steps, his vision suddenly went black, and he felt a pain in the back of his head. Mu Mu completely lost consciousness as the world spun around him.

Lin Anqu appeared out of nowhere and captured the system's precious NPC with just a sack he stole.

Lin Anqu frowned as he looked at his well-proportioned and slender legs, then lifted a corner of the sack, revealing Mu Mu's pretty face. He was knocked unconscious by a blow from the hand knife, his delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt dizzy and uneasy.

Lin Anqu's eyes flashed with interest, "A mermaid that can grow legs, interesting."

He covered Mu Mu's face again and easily lifted him onto his shoulders. Mu Mu's lower abdomen pressed against his hard shoulders, and he grumbled in pain, but he couldn't wake up.

People in the comment section of Lin Anqu scolded him for being inhuman.

[Good fellow, I thought he was here to steal my wife, but it turns out he was here to steal her, even bringing out the sack.]

[Lin Gou, please behave yourself! How can such a dirty sack touch my delicate mermaid wife? Hurry and bring me a shiny pink sack!]

[Good fellow, Lin Gou, you're so bold! The system just told you not to hurt him, and you immediately put him in a sack and tied him up. You've done a really... great job!]

[Hmm? Lord Lin, you're not planning to trade this god-level NPC with the system, are you? It's so close, it could get you burned if you're not careful!]

Lin Anqu carried Mu Mu and quickly shuttled through the monster crowd, his feet moving quickly and nimbly dodging the attacks of various monsters.

A smaller scorpion rushed towards him quickly from the side, its stinger erected high. Just as it was about to pierce Lin Anqu's body, a small silver-white robot jumped out from Lin Anqu's loose coat and pounced on the scorpion.

The little robot held a sharp knife in its hand, and lethal lasers burst out from it, penetrating the scorpion's body. It raised its hand and swung the knife, and the scorpion tore into pieces in its violent struggle.

[666, worthy of being the number one on the novice rankings, Master Lin!]

[Tell a joke, Lin Gou has no weapons (dog head)]

[Lin Gou, how many weapons do you have hidden on you?]

【……】

Lin Anqu rushed towards their residence with a clear goal, moving like a snake, turning left and right, jumping and flipping over, looking so cool.

But Mu Mu on his shoulder suffered. The violent shaking made him nauseous and he almost fainted.

Finally, Lin Anqu slowed down. He arrived in front of the house that had become ruins, stepped over the collapsed wall, and pressed the switch on the floor.

“Click——”

A secret passage suddenly appeared on the ground. Lin Anqu changed Mu Mu's position, picked him up horizontally, and jumped into the tunnel.

The author has something to say:

Mumbling: I need to save a draft…save a draft…draft…
