Chapter 66
"I think I need to make this clear to you seriously. I am not the Mo Qiuxin you're looking for. My name is Mo Xiaoxin. You've got the wrong person!" Mo Xiaoxin said earnestly, emphasizing each word.
She noticed a slight surprise in the man's expression.
Just when Mo Xiaoxin thought he would give up, the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her away again.
Pan Shan wanted to catch up, but Mo Xiaoxin shook her head at him, indicating that he shouldn't follow and that she would handle it herself.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere around the company, and security guards inside the building. She didn't believe Leng Huai would really dare to do anything to her.
The two arrived at a quiet place, an empty office.
"Mo Qiuxin, no, Mo Xiaoxin, although I don't know what kind of world this is, and you don't remember me, I will always remind you that we are still in the Ruins of Ashes!"
Mo Xiaoxin asked in confusion, "What 'Ruins of Ashes'? I don't understand what you're saying. You wouldn't actually have traveled from ancient times, would you?"
Mo Xiaoxin recently read a time-travel novel, which was about an ancient male protagonist who traveled to the modern era.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I have to get you out of here!"
After Leng Huai finished speaking, he tried to take Mo Xiaoxin away from there. Mo Xiaoxin finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Hey! Why are you acting so strange! I don't know you at all, what's wrong with you!"
Leng Huai's voice brooked no argument: "You can leave whether you want to or not!"
Mo Xiaoxin rolled her eyes and, taking advantage of Leng Huai's unpreparedness, kicked him in the groin. Leng Huai cried out in pain and squatted down.
"Tch! You really think I'm easy to bully?"
Mo Xiaoxin went to the front desk and said sternly, "Call security and kick that person out!"
The receptionist nodded meekly.
Soon, the security guards came up one after another and saw Leng Huai squatting on the ground, his face pale.
Leng Huai was carried away looking so fresh and clean.
As she passed by Mo Xiaoxin, Mo Xiaoxin was surprised. Was she really that ruthless? He looked like he was in a lot of pain. She felt uneasy, but why did she also feel a little satisfied?
Fortunately, it finally got quiet in the afternoon, and by the time I finished my work it was already dark.
There are hardly any people left in the office.
Pan Shan had something to do that evening and had already left work.
She stretched and rubbed her slightly hungry stomach.
Let's go grab a late-night snack.
She rubbed her aching temples and walked out of the company building alone.
Just as I was about to take the bus, a figure suddenly appeared behind me.
She was startled.
After seeing the person's face clearly, she was speechless.
It's him again!!
Mo Xiaoxin was on the verge of tears. What exactly did this man want to do?
Thinking about his martial arts skills, if he were to actually lay a hand on her later, she would probably be finished!
"Big brother, I didn't mean it during the day, please spare me, I haven't lived enough yet..." Mo Xiaoxin stared at Leng Huai with pleading eyes, hoping to awaken a bit of his conscience and stop him from killing her.
Leng Huai couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Mo Xiaoxin looking so frightened.
When I kicked him this afternoon, I wasn't as cowardly as I am now. What a cunning little fox!
Mo Xiaoxin pleaded as she backed away, trying to find a chance to slip away.
The sound of a car beeping came from behind, and a speeding truck was about to hit Mo Xiaoxin.
Mo Xiaoxin was a little dazed, her mind went blank, and her body suddenly became unresponsive, leaving her standing there in a daze.
Leng Huai strode forward and pulled Mo Xiaoxin back from the brink of death.
Just moments after he saved Mo Xiaoxin, his memories suddenly changed.
He seems to have met Mo Xiaoxin when he was a child.
On the street, in front of a candied hawthorn stall, he deliberately tried to extort money from Mo Xiaoxin...
Mo Xiaoxin gave him a good talking-to and even went to his house...
Mu Jin fell in love with Mo Xiaoxin at first sight...
And he seemed to have different feelings for her too...
This memory was abrupt yet strangely intertwined with his past, altering his memories in a way that was both tangible and intangible.
This left him momentarily confused about what he should do.
After a moment of thought, he had a guess.
He glanced at Mo Xiaoxin, who was frozen in shock in his arms, and helped her up.
Meanwhile, another group of people arrived in the forest, led by a man with gray hair but full of energy.
That night, the family and their group...
A pair of eyes in the sky were watching this group of people intently, their white pupils as bright as day. If they stayed in the forest any longer, they would find that day and night were only a fleeting moment apart.
Ye Pingwei and An Youdao walked in front, followed by Ye Deqing, and then Ye Hualing and Ye Songlan.
An Youdao volunteered to go to the front, as he wanted to take the opportunity to impress his father-in-law.
"This is the first time I've encountered such a peaceful place," Ye Pingwei said.
An Youdao was unsure whether to be happy or worried. He wanted to show off his skills but had no opportunity to use them.
But in reality, he was very afraid of dying.
After thinking about it, I decided it's best to stay calm.
It's not worth risking your life for a woman.
Ye Hualing glanced at the bright white sky and said thoughtfully, "Isn't this great? It's been so long since our family went on a spring outing together."
Ye Deqing sneered: "All you do all day is play. You came in here on a mission, so don't act like you're doing nothing!"
Ye Hualing raised an eyebrow, looking completely indifferent: "I didn't want to come in the first place, and I'm not interested in magic artifacts at all."
Ye Deqing frowned and said sternly, "It's a disgrace to the Ye family to have such a good-for-nothing son like you! You're not even as good as Lan'er's fiancé. Look at others, they rush to the front when something happens, but what about you?"
Ye Hualing sneered: "Father still treats me like a son? I thought the Ye family had only one son."
Ye Songlan tugged at Ye Hualing's sleeve, signaling him not to provoke Ye Deqing any further.
Ye Deqing was annoyed and wanted to say something more, but suddenly a gust of wind swept in, and the fresh scent of green grass was drowned out by sand, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, the clear blue sky had suddenly turned into complete darkness.
It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"Everyone be careful." Sensing something was wrong, Ye Pingwei immediately drew his sword and looked around warily.
The five people stood still and listened carefully. The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Suddenly a chill ran up my feet, and I realized that the soil beneath my feet had turned into river water.
"Why can't it move?" Ye Deqing frowned.
There was complete silence around him; the other four seemed to have vanished, and no one responded to him.
"Pingwei?"
"Hua Ling??"
"Lan'er!! Youdao, where are you?"
Still no response.
He opened his eyes in terror, feeling the water gradually rise above his calves, knees, and then his chest...
The sky returned to daylight, and the forest was utterly silent, as if no one had ever been there.
Leng Huai pulled Mo Xiaoxin back to the bus stop, and Mo Xiaoxin sat on the seat for a long time, still in a daze.
Leng Huai stared at her. Mo Xiaoxin's eyes were still somewhat vacant. She sat stiffly in place without saying a word, a few strands of hair hanging down beside her ears. Her face was pale, and she looked like she had been terrified.
After a while, Mo Xiaoxin slowly raised her head. Seeing Leng Huai beside her, her eyes shone with light, and she gave a bright smile: "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. Thank you for saving me."
Mo Xiaoxin's sudden change in attitude made Leng Huai feel that something was wrong.
He nodded without making a sound.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me away? Let's go." Mo Xiaoxin took the initiative to extend her hand, gesturing to Leng Huai.
Although Mo Xiaoxin in front of me is exactly the same as before, her behavior is suspicious, and her eyes give off a very different feeling.
What exactly is the difference?
Leng Huai couldn't say it.
But Mo Xiaoxin was right under his nose, could she possibly turn into a different person?
Perhaps it was just his imagination.
Leng Huai took Mo Xiaoxin's hand and walked forward.
Mo Xiaoxin stared at the large hands that were tightly holding hers, a smile appearing on her lips.
Mo Xiaoxin's stomach rumbled, and she touched her stomach: "I'm hungry."
She pointed to the shop next door: "Let's go eat."
Leng Huai suddenly stopped being in a hurry and went to the shop with Mo Xiaoxin.
Mo Xiaoxin ordered a large number of dishes and enjoyed the delicious food with great relish.
She glanced at Leng Huai, who hadn't touched his chopsticks, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to eat? This is delicious!"
"Do you know how to get out of here?" Leng Huai suddenly asked.
"Leave?" Mo Xiaoxin shook her head, her mouth still full of rice.
Mo Xiaoxin swallowed what was in her mouth and tentatively asked, "It's...safe here. Wouldn't it be better if we just stayed here?"
Leng Huai: "Is it very safe?"
Leng Huai repeated these three words.
In the blink of an eye, Leng Huai arrived beside Mo Xiaoxin, a chill running down her neck.
A knife was held to her neck!
Mo Xiaoxin showed no fear on her face. Instead, her eyes looked pitiful, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "What...what are you doing?"
"Who exactly are you?" Leng Huai's tone was anything but gentle.
"I...I am Mo Xiaoxin." Mo Xiaoxin looked like an innocent kitten, with even a few tears in her eyes, making it seem as if Leng Huai had wronged her.
"Stop pretending, you're not her!" Leng Huai frowned, his tone displeased. "I don't have much patience. If you don't tell me, I won't be so polite with this knife!"
Mo Xiaoxin smiled and said, "Fine, then go ahead and kill her. This is the body of your favorite woman."
Leng Huai stared silently at the familiar yet unfamiliar face: "You finally admit it!"
"I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. When did you find out?" she asked curiously, feeling that she hadn't given anything away.
"Clumsy acting, exaggerated expressions, a total green tea bitch, completely different from her. I noticed it from the beginning." He had learned these words from Mo Xiaoxin, and now they came in handy.
Leng Huai glanced at her and said impatiently, "What are you still doing inside her body? Get out now!"
She smiled slightly, not annoyed at all: "That's great, I love a man as devoted, loyal and warm-hearted as you."
She paused, then continued, "This body is hers, yet it's not her. How can I get out of her body?"
"What kind of demon are you?!"
"I am a dream demon, capable of absorbing memories and weaving dreams, and I can also tamper with memories to turn everyone into puppets." The dream demon smiled sweetly, very happy to introduce herself to Leng Huai.
Leng Huai frowned: "Nightmare? Could it be that this whole place is fake?"
“You’re wrong. This is the world from her memories.” She continued to smile, her tone unhurried, as if she had a very good temper.
She said, "I created a similar dream based on the memories in your minds. The things you both experienced will change each other's memories. She went back to when you were a child, and you came to the world where she lived."
The nightmare told Leng Huai everything.
Leng Huai then realized what was going on with the memories that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
The nightmare demon said this is the world of Mo Xiaoxin's memories, but didn't Mo Xiaoxin grow up in the Southern Demon King's world? Why are her memories like this?
Mo Xiaoxin...
Mo Qiuxin...
Could it be that the person inside her body is not Mo Qiuxin, who grew up in the Southern Demon Realm?
He suddenly remembered that when he found Mo Xiaoxin today, he saw her scrolling through her phone. The screen showed something about a certain online mall. Could it be the one she had mentioned before?
He had a general idea in his mind, but it seemed inexplicable.
Task……
What exactly is the task she's talking about?
“I’m being honest, I’ve told you everything you’ve done,” the nightmare said.
Leng Huai snapped out of his thoughts and stared at the nightmare: "Why did you tell me all this? What exactly do you want to do?"
Nightmare: "Of course I'll treat the men I like better. Don't worry, if you stay with me, I'll naturally treat them better, especially... Mo Xiaoxin!"
Although the nightmare spoke with a smile, Leng Huai heard the following words as a warning.
Leng Huai's eyes sharpened: "What did you do to her?"
