An Ge stayed in the demon realm for two more days, feeling the call of the other plane. After telling the demon queen about her feelings, she unsurprisingly saw the demon queen looking at her with teary eyes.
These past two days, she finally had the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Demon Queen, and she felt much closer to this seemingly dignified queen. The two were more like mother and daughter than mother and daughter, which made the neglected Demon King and Hu Jiu very depressed.
"Little Ge'er, you must take good care of yourself over there. You must come to visit Aunt Feng again when you have time."
"Don't worry, Aunt Feng, you should also take good care of yourself."
Hu Jiu looked at the mother and daughter who were reluctant to part, and glared at the Demon King with displeasure. "What's wrong with your wife? It's one thing to always be clinging to my wife, but now she doesn't even see me, her son, at all."
The Demon King retorted with a defiant glare, "I haven't even blamed you yet. Ever since your wife appeared, your mother hasn't paid any attention to me. Besides, if you were a girl, would your mother be so lusting after other young girls?"
"It seems your old face isn't that attractive to the Empress Dowager anymore. Go and drag her away!"
"Same here! Why don't you go pull your wife away!"
"snort!"
"snort!"
The two disliked each other and turned away at the same time.
Unaware of the commotion between the father and son, An Ge bid a reluctant farewell to Aunt Feng and slowly disappeared. At the same time, Hu Jiu also felt the pulling of the plane and quickly grabbed An Ge's hand.
The next second, the two disappeared.
Looking at the empty space before her, the Empress felt a pang of disappointment. She had truly grown fond of Xiao Ge'er after spending the past two days with her, and now that they were parting, she was quite reluctant to leave.
"Wait, did I forget something?"
The Demon King turned his head in confusion. "Is it something important?"
After thinking for a long time, the Empress Dowager suddenly slapped her forehead, "I don't think I've ever had a proper conversation with my son."
"Oh, it's nothing important," the Demon King said casually.
"That's true!"
Hu Jiu had no idea that his unscrupulous father and mother had completely forgotten about him. He was in the process of dimensional teleportation when he suddenly felt a violent shaking. He quickly tried to grab An Ge's hand, but the next second he lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar scene.
"Little Ge'er?" Hu Jiu immediately released his divine sense, but did not see An Ge's figure. He rushed to An Ge's door in a panic, but no matter how much he knocked, he received no response.
When Lu Yan and the others saw Hu Jiu, they were startled by the cold aura emanating from him before they could even make fun of him.
Lu Yan swallowed his joke and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Where's the manager?"
Hu Jiu slumped helplessly in front of the door, shaking his head. "She suddenly disappeared. What should I do? I actually lost her."
Seeing that Hu Jiu's suppressed anger was about to explode, Lu Yan quickly stopped him, "What exactly happened? We are the shopkeeper's divine servants. If she is in danger, we will definitely be able to sense it."
Rong Zhuo also chimed in, "That's right. The inn and the manager are tied together. The fact that the inn is operating normally now means that the manager is alright."
Hu Jiu was initially thrown into a panic by An Ge's sudden disappearance, but upon hearing everyone's words, his rationality gradually returned.
An Ge's strength is considered good even in the cultivation world, not to mention she has an array that can teleport her back at any time, so if she encounters danger, her life will not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiu became even calmer.
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hu Jiu usually doesn't care about anything, if he really gets angry, none of them can stop him.
“You’re right, Xiao Ge’er will be alright.” Hu Jiu regretted listening to An Ge’s advice and taking out the inner core. “I will keep a close watch on the inn until Xiao Ge’er comes back.”
Hu Jiu felt powerless. He had thought he was strong enough, but now he was powerless.
As a chosen one, An Ge cannot be judged by ordinary standards. All Hu Jiu can do is develop the inn as quickly as possible. Once the inn is upgraded, perhaps the existence of other planes can be ignored.
An Ge, who was being targeted by Hu Jiu and the others, looked around at the desolate scenery with a bewildered expression.
Shouldn't she be at the inn? But what's going on with this unfamiliar scene?
Feeling the connection with Xiao Qi in her mind, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Qi, what happened?"
Xiao Qi transformed into a little tiger and lay in An Ge's arms. "It must be that a chosen one of the gods used a special tool."
"There are props like this?"
Xiao Qi tilted her head and said, "I've heard from other systems that some items can summon hosts from other dimensions. However, such items are not common. Unless it's something important, hosts usually choose to meet in the communication space."
An Ge was speechless. She had only met two Chosen Ones in total, and had only added one of them as a friend. It was obvious who had summoned her.
"I'm not that familiar with the plant system's host, so what does she want to do by bringing me here?" That's right, the one who summoned An Ge was Meng Xia, the plant host who had traded with her in the host space before.
An Ge became more vigilant. Although Meng Xia seemed friendly, one can never know a person's heart. If the other party had summoned her, it must be for no good reason.
"I wish I hadn't added them as a friend. But this is so unfair! Didn't I have the right to refuse when they summoned me?"
"That's impossible! Even special items wouldn't forcibly summon you against the host's will." Xiao Qi scratched its tiger face with its paw, then suddenly realized, "Master, when you were teleporting between dimensions, did you encounter anything strange?"
After Xiao Qi reminded her, An Ge remembered that when she was crossing dimensions, a pop-up window seemed to have appeared in front of her. She was dizzy at the time and clicked it without looking at it carefully.
Looking back now, I realize I might have clicked "OK".
An Ge rubbed her forehead, speechless. "So how am I supposed to get back now?" She wondered how Hu Jiu was doing.
However, she had told Hu Jiu all her trump cards, so he shouldn't worry too much about her.
"Don't worry, Master. I just asked other systems, and they said the summoning period is only seven days. After seven days, you will be able to return to the inn automatically."
"That's good!" If we still can't find our way back, we can just grit our teeth and spend some money to activate the teleportation array.
Perhaps due to limitations of the props, An Ge did not reach Meng Xia's side, but instead went to a deserted place filled with sand and dust.
An Ge squinted, struggling forward against the wind and sand. She walked for an unknown amount of time, but all she could see was sand and dust; there was no sign of human habitation, not even a speck of green.
"This place is such a rip-off," An Ge said, expressing deep sympathy for Meng Xia.
Just as An Ge was complaining, Meng Xia looked at the used props with a speechless expression.
She summoned An Ge on a whim, and to her surprise, An Ge accepted the summons. Before she could even feel happy, she realized that the summoning item couldn't bring An Ge to her side; she would simply land randomly within a certain range.
"This is outrageous!" Meng Xia sighed, looking up at the sky. Who knows how big this "certain range" is?
