When Hu Jiu Jiu stood alone amid the howling Void Storm before her, even she could not help finding it thorny, feeling a trace of headache and trouble.
"I have to move this Small World completely out of this void."
Yet just as she was about to act, a voice came from behind her that left her especially stunned.
"What are you doing here? This place is dangerous. Hurry up and leave!"
When she saw clearly the figure appearing within the constantly twisting void, Hu Jiu Jiu only felt her heart suddenly tighten, as though some emotion sealed away for many years had been utterly touched at this moment. Her heart shook violently, yet she could not help barking the question.
"If it's dangerous, why did you come?"
"As the Demon Realm Master, protecting the peace of this realm is my duty. What is there to ask?"
Hu Jiu Jiu said anxiously, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"No. I won't leave."
Yao Chen took a step forward. The powerful pressure unique to a Nine Star Dou Sheng could not be hindered even by the Void Storm. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then he said softly, "At least this time, I won't leave."
"You—what nonsense are you saying?!"
Hu Jiu Jiu widened those eyes, the confusion and conflict in the depths of her heart almost impossible to suppress.
"It does sound rather foolish... so say whatever you want."
Without caring what Hu Jiu Jiu's reaction was, Yao Chen merely shook his head, then slowly raised his hand. His fingertip swept across the void, suddenly tearing through the Void Storm and splitting in two one of its spiral arms that had already drawn close and collided with the Demon Realm.
"I never saw you so reckless back then!"
