"Energy discovery, energy infusion."
"Energy absorption in progress, energy supplementation."
"Energy supplementation complete, searching for coordinates."
"Coordinates locked, initiate teleportation?"
A mechanical voice emanated from the Moonlight Treasure Box.
Li Changlin’s spirit stirred slightly, and he faintly felt that inside the Moonlight Treasure Box, there could very well be a System Spirit akin to Ling’er.
At this moment, the Messenger suddenly looked up at Li Changlin and Ye Xiyao, "The coordinates to return to your original interface have been locked. Where do you need to be teleported to?"
"Let’s go straight back to Jincheng!" Li Changlin thought for a moment and decided they couldn’t go to Tianshan, since Ye Xiyao had already been exposed. There might be many reporters and media outlets lying in wait there.
This was a troublesome matter; it seemed that his luggage and the like would just have to be abandoned.
"Yes, let’s head directly back to Jincheng," Ye Xiyao also hastily nodded in agreement. Whatever Li Changlin said, she would absolutely not oppose.
"In that case, I will begin the teleportation," the Messenger nodded and then drew two lines on the treasure box with their hand.
Following that, the treasure box slowly started to emit a brilliant glow.
The light appeared, enveloping Li Changlin and Ye Xiyao within it.
Then, the light slowly began to rotate, and an incomparable force sliced through space, creating a gate of light.
With that, the light flashed, and they penetrated into the gate of light.
This time, there was no pulling force like the one they experienced on the way over, so both of them maintained a very good condition.
After about a minute, Li Changlin felt a flash of light before his eyes. Following that, he and Ye Xiyao appeared inside a large hall.
The familiar sofa, the familiar coffee table, and the familiar computer desk—it turned out they were directly back in his own home.
Li Changlin was both surprised and delighted. He turned to look at Ye Xiyao, only to see that she was holding a quaint box in her hands.
This box, of course, was the Moonlight Treasure Box; unexpectedly, it had returned with them.
Li Changlin felt a deep sense of wonder inside.
At this point, Ye Xiyao had also realized what happened and quickly handed over the Moonlight Treasure Box, "Brother Changlin, you keep the Moonlight Treasure Box."
"Okay," Li Changlin did not hesitate and took the treasure box from her, clearly understanding Ye Xiyao’s intentions.
"Oh no, Xi Yao, your medicine is still at Tielan Temple." Suddenly, Li Changlin earnestly recalled something.
"It’s fine; I can just buy some at a pharmacy," Ye Xiyao gently said.
"Alright, let’s go now," Li Changlin nodded. Xi Yao had already gone three days without her medication, and her condition couldn’t afford to be delayed.
"I’ll go to the restroom first," Ye Xiyao said with a blush and a touch of shyness, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Watching her enter the restroom, Li Changlin took out his phone, and then he stored the Moonlight Treasure Box into the System’s Storage Box.
However, what slightly surprised him was that all the Crystal Cores he had collected were gone.
"Could it be that the System can’t bring items from the Different World back here?" Li Changlin hesitated and thought, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it.
He knew nothing about those Crystal Cores; if they were gone, then they were gone.
Soon, Ye Xiyao came out of the restroom, and the two of them left together.
Once outside the residential area, they headed toward Qian Ziwei’s gourmet restaurant.
Just two doors past Qian Ziwei’s small shop was a pharmacy, and it was a chain too.
Li Changlin figured that this pharmacy should have the medicine that Ye Xiyao wanted to buy.
Passing by the gourmet shop, Li Changlin was slightly surprised to hear arguing coming from inside Qian Ziwei’s store.
He hesitated, then told Ye Xiyao to go ahead to the pharmacy by herself, while he went toward the gourmet shop.
The door of the gourmet shop was ajar. Li Changlin pushed it, and it opened.
"Who’s there!" Suddenly, a fierce shout came from inside, and more than ten people all turned to look his way.
"Husband." As the door opened, Li Changlin walked in. Qian Ziwei turned, saw him, and immediately ran over joyfully, "Husband, when did you get back?"
"Just got home." Li Changlin saw that Qian Ziwei looked somewhat upset, so he put his arms around her and asked, "What’s going on with these people, were you arguing?"
"They’re from the Golden Tiger Gang," Qian Ziwei said through gritted teeth, "They see that my business is good and want a share of it."
"The Golden Tiger Gang is so bold?" Li Changlin was slightly stunned, then looked up at a burly man sitting on a chair, "What if we refuse to give it to them?"
"Refuse?" The burly man sneered upon hearing this, "If you refuse, then you can forget about running this shop!"
The Golden Tiger Gang was one of Jincheng’s four major underworld forces, and taking care of a small gourmet shop was a piece of cake for them.
Li Changlin’s brows furrowed slightly, and a glimmer of coldness flashed in his eyes. He stared deeply at the man and said icily, "I don’t care about how the Golden Tiger Gang operates, but thinking about taking over our shop is sheer fantasy. I warn you, leave now before The Nearly Divine Tycoon loses his temper. Otherwise, The Nearly Divine Tycoon will make you regret it deeply!"
"Haha, you dare to threaten a member of the Golden Tiger Gang!" Upon hearing this, the burly man burst into laughter. Then, with a pause in his chuckle, he shouted coldly, "Kid, do you have a death wish? Keep babbling, and see if I don’t waste you!"
"Courting death!" A dragon has a reverse scale, touch it and you provoke its wrath!
This guy was out of line, actually daring to call himself ’I’ in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Li Changlin’s face immediately grew dark.
"You’ve got quite the mouth, kid. I’d like to see just how you plan on finishing me off. Take him, waste him!" The burly man clearly did not take Li Changlin seriously at all, and at that moment, with a grim face and a scar running from beside his nose to his left ear twitching, he looked very intimidating. He didn’t even stand up, simply waved his hand, and the dozen or so thugs standing around immediately advanced on Li Changlin with knives in hand.
Seeing this, Qian Ziwei shivered all over and quickly stepped forward to shield Li Changlin, calling out anxiously, "Brother Dama, Brother Dama, please calm down, let’s talk this out!"
"Shut up, your man needs to be taught a lesson!" That burly man was Brother Dama, a senior enforcer of the Golden Tiger Gang with the strength of Mid-stage Ming Jin.
"Ziwei, don’t bother talking to him. Wanting to steal our shares, he’s asking for death!" Li Changlin pulled Qian Ziwei aside with one hand, then stepped forward to block her.
"Husband, don’t be impulsive," Qian Ziwei blurted out, terrified, "The Gang Leader of the Golden Tiger Gang is a Master of Transformation Realm; he’s much more powerful than that Zhou Jian!"
