"Will you really come back after you return?"
Mu Qingqing's gaze was filled with worry. She still found it hard to believe him.
"Tianming, you should know what you mean to the Heaven-Stealing Clan, to the entire Zero Star Prison. Everyone has waited for you for far, far too long. Your clan only lacks this final puzzle piece—you—and then there will be hope of unifying the World of Disorder. Your family has missed you for too long. They can no longer bear to lose you again... I-I carry a great responsibility, you know?"
Li Tianming gave her a helpless look.
In his memories, Mu Qingqing had once been cold and restrained toward him. Yet here in the World of Disorder, she was a lovestruck woman utterly obedient to him. That contrast was a little too much for him to take.
He could only say, "All right, put your mind completely at ease. If I don't come back, can't you just go to my home and snatch people again? You have plenty of methods, don't you?"
Mu Qingqing shook her head. "I will never do something that makes you unhappy a second time in this life."
"Oh-ho, I'm so touched to hear that."

Mu Qingqing said with some difficulty, "Traveling back and forth takes time. To save time, don't use the Unordered World Ring to convert your power. Once you send the child back, return immediately. You might still make it in time for the Imperial Banquet... Your father has already sent invitations throughout the entire World of Disorder. If you aren't there when the time comes, that'll be troublesome."
"Got it. Stop nagging.
