"If I said we were enemies, would you believe me?"

Faced with the question, Chen Tian was stunned for a moment before speaking seriously.

"I do. I believe you." Mo Shang squinted slightly, patting the other's shoulder with a smile.

Although he said he believed, Mo Shang's expression didn't carry the slightest hint of trust; instead, it gave off a feeling of "I get you."

Chen Tian's mouth twitched as he spoke again: "I feel like you don't actually believe me..."

"Xiao Chen, it's not that your uncle is nagging you, but a girl that pretty—you can't let her down." The night stall owner also patted Chen Tian's shoulder at this point, speaking earnestly.

"Uncle Li, weren't you drunk?"

Chen Tian looked at the night stall owner, a trace of confusion coloring his expression.

"Oh, you're right, I almost forgot..."

At Chen Tian's reminder, the night stall owner finally remembered that he had already passed out drunk, and slumped back onto the table, snoring loudly.

Chen Tian: ...

Mo Shang: ...

"Master, this girl's traits are something else."

Just as they were talking, the system, which had been lurking in Mo Shang's mind, suddenly popped up.

As the system's voice faded, a string of traits on the woman abruptly appeared before Mo Shang's eyes.

[Golden Fortune Entry: Seeker]

[Description: Traveling through countless worlds, just to find you...]

[Golden Trait: Study Master]

[Description: She is a study master, quick to learn anything...]

[Purple Trait: Single-Minded]

[Description: A persistent person, with determination and perseverance, willing to sacrifice everything to achieve her goal...]

[Green Trait: Contrast]

[Description: A person full of contrasts...]

At this moment, staring at the golden fortune entry before him, Mo Shang fell silent.

He didn't understand how he could run into two people with fortune entries in a single small world, and not just purple-gold but straight-up gold!

Truly, comparing people only breeds resentment—he was a transmigrator, after all, and all he had was a single white fortune entry, not even green!

"Master, these two are clearly up to something!" Seeing Mo Shang silent for so long, the system's voice rang out again.

"Isn't that obvious?" Mo Shang replied in his mind.

Homecomer, Seeker—these two entries were clearly connected. If the two of them weren't a pair, he'd eat the table on the spot!

"What do I do now..."

At this moment, Chen Tian looked at the woman in his arms, feeling a headache coming on.

He hadn't lied about what he said earlier; they really were enemies.

Before returning to his homeland, he had been a Demon Venerable in that world, while the woman was a Righteous Fairy.

As the saying goes, good and evil cannot coexist, and things naturally went as expected—every time they met, they were either fighting or on their way to a fight...

Even though they were enemies, Chen Tian couldn't just leave her here.

She had just arrived on Blue Star, had lost all her cultivation, and was so beautiful—if he abandoned her here, who knew what might happen...

"Forget it, I'll take her back for now..."

After a mental struggle, Chen Tian finally decided to bring her back for the time being.

Having made up his mind, Chen Tian looked up at Mo Shang and said, "Old Mo, let's catch up another day. I need to head back now..."

"Alright, then let's go." Mo Shang nodded with a knowing smile.

"Okay, I'll be off then..." Chen Tian didn't dawdle, nodded, and prepared to head back with the woman in his arms.

But after a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu following behind him...

Zhang San and Li Si hadn't followed; they had gone to find Zhou Yi instead, since their mission was to protect his safety.

"What are you two following me for?" Chen Tian asked helplessly.

"Not really, just heading the same way..." Mo Shang looked up at the sky, pretending to be very busy.

As it turned out, when people are embarrassed, they really do pretend to be busy...

"You don't even live in the same area as me, so how is it the same way? Feels like you just want to watch the show..." Chen Tian's mouth twitched.

In the end, Chen Tian didn't say anything more and let Mo Shang and the other follow along...

Not long after Mo Shang and the others left, Zhou Yi, who had traveled for over an hour, finally returned to the night stall.

But when he saw that Mo Shang and the group had already cleared out, he couldn't help but break down again.

"What? I haven't even gotten to eat yet, and it's already over!?"

Under Chen Tian's lead, Mo Shang and the others arrived before a villa.

"This is your home?"

Gazing at the luxurious villa before him, Mo Shang finally understood why the other had come back from another world.

"Young master, welcome back."

Before Chen Tian could speak, the villa's door swung open, and an elderly man in a black tailcoat stepped out.

Soon, the old man also noticed the woman in Chen Tian's arms, his eyes brightening as he asked, "Young master, what's this?"

"She's a friend of mine... don't overthink it..."

Chen Tian gave a helpless smile, already lacking the energy to argue, then looked at Mo Shang and the others, adding, "Come on in first, make yourselves at home..."

Mo Shang and the others didn't stand on ceremony and followed him into the villa.

Inside, Uncle Zhang wasn't alone; a middle-aged couple sat on the living room sofa, clearly Chen Tian's parents.

"Little Tian Tian, you're back..."

Seeing Chen Tian, his mother, who had been lying on the sofa watching TV, immediately broke into a smile. Her eyes especially lit up at the girl in his arms.

"Is this your girlfriend?"

Chen Tian explained, "No, just an ordinary friend..."

Not even an ordinary friend, really—more like a straight-up enemy...

"I get it, Mom gets it. Young people are shy, it's normal. Don't worry, I won't oppose you dating..." Chen Tian's mother clearly didn't believe him.

"Don't you dare let her down, or I'll skin you alive." From the side, Chen Tian's father also chimed in with a warning.

"I'll take her upstairs to rest first. Mom, Dad, please entertain my two friends..."

Chen Tian's mouth twitched, but he didn't argue, heading upstairs.

"Oh, it's rare for him to bring so many friends back. Come, come, little handsome, little beauty, don't be shy, have a seat, have a seat..."

"Uncle Zhang, bring out some fruit and snacks..."

Chen Tian's mother was very warm, ushering Mo Shang and the others to sit. Chen Tian's father also gave them a friendly smile.

"Alright."

Uncle Zhang acknowledged, walked into the kitchen, and soon came out with some fruit and snacks, covering the entire coffee table.

Mo Shang naturally didn't hold back, pulling Jiang Shuyu down to sit...

"By the way, you're Xiao Tian's friends. Is that girl just now Xiao Tian's girlfriend?" After a round of warm hospitality, Chen Tian's mother remembered something and asked quietly.

"Auntie, what do you think?" Mo Shang replied with a faint smile.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author—maybe it just changed names!
