"No... I just miss you so much..." Ji Yueyao nuzzled her mother's arm affectionately, but then she was stunned when she opened her eyes the next second. The room she was in was empty and there was nothing there at all.
“Mom…?” Ji Yueyao glanced around. The familiar presence had vanished, leaving only an empty room filled with a cold and lonely atmosphere.
She was still savoring that warm voice; she didn't even have time to express all her longing...
Disappointment instantly escalated into anger. Ji Yueyao glared around and roared in a hoarse voice, "Who, who is playing tricks on me!"
There was no echo around; the room remained eerily quiet.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from outside. Ji Yueyao opened the door and rushed out without thinking. Then, she stood at the door and stared blankly at the girl who had fallen down the stairs.
Blood was seeping from the girl's forehead, and within seconds the blood had stained her clothes and the textbook in her hand.
Suddenly jolted in her mind, Ji Yueyao stared in disbelief at the girl who looked exactly like her, her pupils shrinking to almost the size of pinpoints.
These are all very familiar scenes. So when she fell down the stairs... she was actually already dead?
So who is this "she" now?
Ji Yueyao walked down and looked at the girl lying on the ground, lifeless. He felt a chill spread from his feet to his whole body. So she had been dead for a long time?
Does that mean she no longer exists in the original world?
Feeling a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart, Ji Yueyao hugged herself tightly, feeling a bone-chilling cold.
Suddenly, something seemed to surge into view. Ji Yueyao looked up and saw many black halos gradually emerging from the body of the deceased her. Then, the halos gradually converged into a huge black hole, and the surrounding world shattered at that moment.
She should leave.
While Ji Yueyao was stunned, this sentence floated into her mind. She silently turned around and took one last look at the home where she had lived for eighteen years. She gritted her teeth and resolutely walked into the black hole, and was then swallowed by the darkness.
What she would never know was that the moment she stepped into the black hole, her figure was seen by someone who came out from the side, and they chased after her and entered the black hole with her.
This is why he firmly believed that she would exist in this world.
Xia Yaoxuan raised his hand to shield his eyes from the dazzling sunlight. He yawned softly and sat in front of the sofa, lost in thought for a while.
"Is Ji Yueyao still at the Nanxiao base?" Xia Yaoxuan seemed to be talking to thin air, but the instant he spoke, someone emerged from the shadows. The person's face was completely disfigured; seeing it was nothing short of terrifying. [△Net www.AiQuxs.]
"Sir, the news that's been sent to the military region is indeed like this." Even his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"Hmm... Where's Chu Sheng?" Xia Yaoxuan seemed a little annoyed under the gaze. He got up and walked back into the room, glancing indifferently at the man standing in front of him and speaking softly.
"Chu Sheng has already returned to the Black Zone and completed his mission." The man spoke to Xia Yaoxuan with utmost respect, yet he casually sat opposite Xia Yaoxuan as Xia Yaoxuan sat down, seemingly without any restraint.
"His speed is as satisfying as ever..." Xia Yaoxuan's lips curled into a pleasant smile. He rested his chin on his hand, looking at the doorway, his voice carrying a hint of languor. "How is the Xiyu base doing now?"
“Zhong Jue has successfully become the supreme leader of the Xiyu base.” The man chuckled. “Everything is going according to your plan, sir.”
"Alright, Dusk, you know I don't like hearing this kind of talk." Xia Yaoxuan raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, his dark eyes staring directly at the man whose appearance had been completely altered. "Did you come all the way from the Black Zone just to say this, or did you come here like those eyesores to question me?"
“My lord, you know that everything I have belongs to you.” Hunchen smiled and then picked up the cup on the table and poured two glasses of water. “So whatever you do, my lord, is absolutely right to me… I’m just curious, my lord, how could you do something so harmful to others and yourself? This is not like you.”
"Harming others without benefiting oneself?" Xia Yaoxuan chuckled, then shook his head indifferently.
Seeing Xia Yaoxuan's nonchalant attitude, Hun Chen lowered his eyelids, picked up his water glass and took a sip. "That's right, it's harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. You and I both know that Mu Yanxuan's unification with C country has become a certainty, and your meddling at this time will only add some trouble to Mu Yanxuan and serve no other purpose."
"What if I said I just wanted to make things difficult for Mu Yanxuan?" Xia Yaoxuan said calmly, the smile on his lips fading slightly.
"You got into such a big mess with Country C because of this?" Hunchen looked up at Xia Yaoxuan's profile and asked.
"Troublesome? Not really." Xia Yaoxuan shook his head. "I don't believe that Mu Yanxuan can resolve this problem without losing a single penny after I've made things so difficult for him... Besides, we control 70 percent of the world's oil. If Mu Yanxuan isn't going to swallow his pride, then we'll have no choice but to abandon cooperation with the entire country of C."
"Abandon cooperation with Country C? Are you already prepared to give up such a lucrative prize as Country C?" Hunchen frowned.
Xia Yaoxuan shook his head, sighed softly, and suppressed his smile. He glanced at Hunchen with some impatience and said, "You've been talking a lot more nonsense lately, Hunchen. Do you know what my only purpose in this world is?"
"..." Hunchen keenly sensed the chill in the air around him. He didn't speak, but gently shook his head and waited quietly for Xia Yaoxuan to continue.
But Xia Yaoxuan didn't seem to have anything to say. He looked at the bright sunlight outside the window and a bright smile appeared on his lips again.
Seeing Xia Yaoxuan's joyful yet nostalgic expression, a thought suddenly flashed through Hunchen's mind, "Could it be that you did all this... for that Ji Yueyao?!"
Xia Yaoxuan raised an eyebrow, turned around, tapped the table, and laughed, "To you, I am everything, right?"
Hunchen paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Then for me, she is the entire meaning of my existence in this world," Xia Yaoxuan said with a faint smile.
The whole meaning? What merits does Ji Yueyao possess that make the adults value her so much?! Hunchen frowned and said truthfully, "She's just an ordinary person with a little bit of supernatural ability. She's not worth your high regard at all."
“Whether it’s worth it or not isn’t up to you to decide.” Xia Yaoxuan stood up, his dark eyes staring directly down at Hunchen. “Therefore, how could someone I consider worthy of existence allow an outsider like Mu Yanxuan to covet her… For me, eliminating everyone who is attracting her attention is what I must do now.” (To be continued.)
