Yes, I did all of this!

He paused for a moment, but Duanmu Mo continued drinking, eating barbecue and drinking alcohol.

"Are you leaving...?"

Noticing Duanmu Mo's expression, Cang Yuan let out a soft sigh.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Mo frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"You knew all along that this was just a dream, didn't you?" he asked, turning his head to look at Cangyuan.

“You can escape everything here, what’s wrong with that?” Cang Yuan curled up, hugged his calves, and sat on the beach, looking at the flickering firelight in front of him.

"Is this why you've shut yourself off?"

Not entirely.

As his intoxication grew more pronounced, Duanmu Mo opened his mouth and uttered a weak sound: "Then you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, feeling his consciousness gradually becoming confused.

He knelt down beside Duanmu Mo and looked at him, gazing at his face.

"My first believer...?"

As she said this, her thoughts were in turmoil.

Then, Cangyuan raised his hands, and the gem in his wrist emitted a beautiful blue light.

Deep blue ripples gathered in her clasped hands, eventually coalescing into a profound gem.

The rhomboid gemstone is as smooth as a mirror. When firelight shines on it, the gemstone's internal brilliance is instantly illuminated, shimmering with dazzling light.

Viewed from the front, the center of the gemstone is as deep as night, while the surrounding area gradually transitions to light blue, as if an ocean has been compressed into this small crystal.

"This is my gift to you... Wear it in your dreams, and you can come here anytime."

She whispered, then placed the gem on Duanmu Mo's chest.

call--

The next moment, Duanmu Mo felt the surrounding scenery become abstract, as if the beach beneath him had turned transparent and gravity was gradually distorted.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in the classroom, Yu Zhi looked at the large screen on the wall and listened to the teacher's lecture.

"This song had a profound impact on that era; you students can experience that for yourselves..."

As the teacher spoke, Yuzhi suddenly sensed something and looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

A faint light shone on the bracelet, still radiating a blurry ripple.

"Eh..."

Yu Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, and then Cang Yi appeared from the side, watching this scene:

"This is... Yuzhi, you should leave here as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay—Teacher, I'm not feeling well." Yu Zhi covered her bracelet and quickly stood up to say.

"Oh, go and take a rest." The teacher nodded, not paying much attention.

Under Huizi's concerned gaze, Yuzhi quickly left.

However, instead of running to the infirmary, she went straight to the restroom and closed the door.

Before that, she looked around at the surrounding cubicles to make sure no one was there before letting go of the bracelet.

"Cangyi, what's going on?"

Looking at the glowing bracelet, its light became even brighter after a while.

"It's probably Duanmu Mo who has woken up," Cangyi said calmly.

Three days ago, they swallowed the unconscious Duanmu Mo and kept him safe.

At the same time, Cangyi also made some marks, imprinting a portion of the Netherworld Key's energy onto Duanmu Mo's body, allowing the orca to use it to form a one-time channel to teleport him out of the seal.

On the other side of the passage, naturally, lay the Key to the Underworld in the hands of Yu Zhi, its owner.

"Mr. Duanmu has woken up?"

Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the light on her bracelet was extremely bright. Suddenly, her arm felt heavy, and a figure formed in front of her, leaning against the door and slowly sliding down.

Yu Zhi opened her mouth wide, but still immediately helped Duanmu Mo up.

"Mr. Duanmu! Are you alright?"

The two were squeezed into the toilet. At this distance, Yuzhi's face flushed slightly, and she looked at him helplessly.

"Hmm..."

Duanmu Mo covered his head and opened his eyes.

"here it is......"

His mind quickly cleared, and Duanmu Mo looked at Yu Zhi's school uniform, then looked around.

"This is your school?"

"Um... I don't know what happened either, Mr. Duanmu, you just flew out of my bracelet."

Seeing Yu Zhi's concerned gaze, Duanmu Mo shook his head: "It's alright, I can understand."

He patted Yu Zhi's head, then suddenly remembered something, placed his hands on his chest, and finally took out a gem from the inside pocket of his trench coat.

"What is this?"

Yu Zhi looked at it with a puzzled expression and asked Duanmu Mo.

"The results of this trip..."

Before Duanmu Mo could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped breathing.

A footstep sounded, followed by a familiar voice:

"Yuzhi, how are you?"

"Huizi?"

Yu Zhi was startled, and then Hui Zi stopped in front of her door:

"You're here. What's wrong? Are you feeling alright?"

"Ah, I, I'm fine."

Looking at Duanmu Mo in front of her, Yu Zhi panicked a little, fearing that Hui Zi would discover what was happening behind the door.

"Um...can I stay here for a while? I'll be right out," Yuzhi said nervously. Huizi didn't suspect anything, agreed, and left.

As the surroundings quieted down again, Duanmu Mo said:

"Anyway, Yuzhi, you go back first. I have my own way of sneaking out."

"Well, Mr. Duanmu... how have you been feeling these past three days?"

Yu Zhi nodded and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, Yuzhi, don't worry. We can meet after school. I'm going to check out Yin's dessert shop first."

"Okay, see you after school."

Yu Zhi nodded and reluctantly left the cubicle.

Watching her departing figure, Duanmu Mo also pushed open the door and stood by the window.

Its body transformed into a black shadow, disappearing through a crack in the window. The shadow swam along the wall to the first floor, then swiftly skimmed the ground, leaving the school.

Duanmu Mo appeared on the other side of the wall, clapped his hands, and left with ease.

I touched my belongings and found that they were all still there.

So he dialed Shenwu Ling's number:

"Hello, ring."

I don't know if it's because Shen Wuling added the Zero System during her awakening process, but no matter what, she answers my call instantly.

"Mr. Duanmu?"

On the phone, Shen Wuling's voice came through, sounding both surprised and delighted: "Looks like you've woken up. How's it going on your end?"

"I just came out of Yu Zhi's bracelet," Duanmu Mo said. "But I'm perfectly fine; it's as if time has frozen."

“It seems that Cangyi made the right choice by keeping you in the stomach of the orca.” Upon hearing this, Shenwu Ling nodded.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Mo stopped in his tracks: "Did Cangyi feed me to the orca?"

"So, Mr. Duanmu, you sound quite afraid of it?"

"..."

The thought of being swallowed whole by a killer whale's gaping maw made Duanmu Mo gasp in horror.

"Never mind... Anyway, I'm heading towards your sister's dessert shop. Where are you and Xia Yan?"

“Perfect timing, we’re playing games at home.”

Shen Wuling didn't move her mouth at all, but transmitted her thoughts to Duanmu Mo in words. She and Xia Yan sat on the sofa and worked together to deal with the enemies on the screen.

"Okay, come back here after you're done playing. I'm hanging up now."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

With that, Shen Wuling blinked and hung up the phone.

Chapter 305: The Dessert Shop

Duanmu Mo put his phone back in his pocket and then fiddled with the deep blue gemstone in his hand.

The gem is similar to the one used by magical girls to transform, but it doesn't have the magical girl's ability to reduce her presence, so it looks very expensive.

Duanmu Mo wasn't afraid of anything. After looking at the sheen on it, he put it away and walked straight towards the food street.

A few days later, after Duanmu Mo had the place cleaned up, it was finally able to open for business smoothly.

I wonder how Shenwuyin has managed the place these past few days.

Driven by curiosity, Duanmu Mo arrived at Shenwuyin's dessert shop.
