Perhaps still feeling the lingering emotions from the contents of the book, tears streamed down Mo Yi’s face again the moment he saw Bai Ren.
Caught off guard by Mo Yi’s tears, Bai Ren felt a pang of pain in his heart. Despite this, he wouldn’t let go. He absolutely couldn’t allow Mo Yi to leave his side again.
“Bai Ren, let go of me, I need to go back to find you!”
He said it!
Perhaps because there were no taboo words here, Mo Yi’s words flowed smoothly, and Bai Ren understood his meaning.
Mo Yi wanted to go back in time, five hundred years ago, to find himself.
“No, you can’t!”
Bai Ren refused. It wasn’t that he rejected his past self, but that was five hundred years ago. He had waited so long, and now if he let Mo Yi leave again, who knew if he would come back.
What if he couldn’t wait anymore, just like before?
Could he wait for Mo Yi to return to this world, even if it took another few hundred years?
Bai Ren couldn’t gamble, and he dared not gamble.
Earlier, when Mo Yi was reading the book in the room, he quietly probed his divine consciousness into it, observing the situation in the room. While he didn’t know the specific contents of the book, Mo Yi’s subsequent actions made him realize something.
He snatched the pendant from Mo Yi’s hand. “This is what made you leave, isn’t it?”
Bai Ren said, pocketing the pendant, then licked the blood off Mo Yi’s injured finger.
Tasting the blood of the person he loved for the first time, a crimson hue flashed in Bai Ren’s eyes, reflecting his desire.
Indeed, being his beloved, even the taste of blood was so sweet.
But being able to taste even a little was enough for him; he couldn’t bear to see Mo Yi bleed.
Picking up the book that had fallen to the ground, Bai Ren quickly flipped through it. With a cursory scan, he more or less understood its contents.
So, Mo Shao, that guy, really pulled it off, making such a book.
Was his beloved crying after reading all this?
Why cry? Feeling sorry for his past self? Feeling guilty?
But no matter what, the damage had already been done!
Instead of dwelling on the past, it was better to focus on the present.
“You can’t go anywhere.”
Since Mo Yi clearly knew his identity, and they were now in such a standoff, there was no need to hide anymore. His eyes turned blood red once again, and the pressure of a deity emanated from him.
Despite his beloved’s transformation, Mo Yi wasn’t afraid.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He was eager to get the pendant back, his eyes red from tears as he pleaded with Bai Ren: “No, I must go back. I can’t just watch you suffer. I have to go back and find you. I have to save you!”
“Vjnf wf?”

He didn’t want to be this cruel, but to keep Mo Yi by his side, he decided to tear everything apart, even if it meant using guilt to keep him.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the young man across from him burst into even heavier tears.
Despite the pleading look in Mo Yi’s watery eyes, which evoked infinite pity, Bai Ren hardened his heart and set up a barrier in the room.
Since Mo Yi had already decided to leave, then he shouldn’t blame Bai Ren for using some extreme measures.
Even though it pained him, he would do it because he was truly afraid…
Black mist enveloped the man as he reverted back to his appearance from centuries ago in front of Mo Yi. He went to the kitchen, brought out all the food, and returned to the room.
“Have some food. It’s dinner time.”
In a gentle tone, he held Mo Yi in his arms and picked up a piece of steak, intending to feed it to him like a pet.
Mo Yi was crying uncontrollably, gently pushing Bai Ren’s arm. “I… hiccup… don’t… hiccup… want to eat… hiccup!”
“Good boy,” Bai Ren coaxed, deliberately misinterpreting Mo Yi’s meaning. “Is it because of the hiccups that you don’t want to eat?”
With that, he kissed Mo Yi, giving him a long and suffocating deep kiss.
Pulling away, he looked at Mo Yi, who was staring at him blankly, and smiled. “See, no more hiccups.”
It was actually true!
He really wasn’t hiccupping anymore!
Mo Yi felt somewhat amazed and patted his chest. He no longer felt the sensation of being pressured by hiccups.
Since the hiccups were gone, he should be able to talk properly now, Mo Yi thought. He could explain properly, and his partner should let him go.
But every time he opened his mouth, the steak was shoved into it.
The fragrant juice of the steak spread in his mouth. Normally, Mo Yi would have been delighted, but now he couldn’t feel happy. And every time he finished eating and tried to speak, new food was fed into his mouth.
His partner was clearly not letting him speak!
Mo Yi figured it out, but he thought maybe it was because he was about to leave without saying goodbye, making his beloved angry. Maybe if he waited a bit longer for Bai Ren to calm down, he might listen to his explanation.
Thinking this, Mo Yi finally gave up struggling and obediently ate the food fed by his partner, but his eyes remained fixed on his beloved.
It’s unknown how much suffering Bai Ren endured after he left.
Tears were on the brink of overflowing from his eyes, and Mo Yi gently touched Bai Ren’s hand.
It’s okay, he will go back. By then, those painful memories should disappear.
Seeing Mo Yi finally stop struggling, Bai Ren felt a little comforted. When he finished feeding Mo Yi, he carried him directly to the bathroom.
Now that everything was out in the open, he didn’t want to be apart from Mo Yi for even a second. Finally, his beloved could completely belong to him.
If these illusions cannot hold this person, then absolute force it is…
What happened next is unknown, 006 only knew that Bai Ren had infiltrated deep into the sea of consciousness, and he was forced to sleep for a long time before he had the chance to come out again.
And when he came out, what caught his eye was his own host lying alone on the bed, sleeping soundly.
“Host, wake up quickly!”
006 called out with some concern. This little world was too abnormal. Besides the eerie ability to travel through time, what worried 006 the most was that this little world was experiencing the same situation as the previous one.
Something from the main world might have slipped in; that’s the most dangerous part!
The voice in his sea of consciousness gradually awakened Mo Yi. Opening his eyes, he still felt weak and couldn’t muster any strength.
“006.”
Mo Yi responded with difficulty, sitting up and taking a sip from the water glass on the bedside table, then drinking it all and exhaling lightly.
He was really exhausted, and it seemed like his partner was genuinely angry too.
But Mo Yi still had to go back. Since he had the chance to change the past and protect Bai Ren, he would never give up this opportunity. He couldn’t let his beloved endure five hundred years of loneliness!
Even if only his soul remained after his physical body perished, he would always accompany him.
With these thoughts in mind, Mo Yi forced himself and put on his clothes. He walked to the door as quietly as possible, wanting to sneak out and see if he could steal the pendant from Bai Ren.
But when he opened the door and tried to step out, an invisible barrier blocked his path, preventing him from going any further.
“What is this?”
Mo Yi tapped the air wall with his palm, but there was no response. He then tried hitting it harder, but it had no effect, only making his hand numb from the impact.
“Host, it’s a barrier!” said 006 in his consciousness.
A barrier?
He was all too familiar with this thing. In his early years, he had been trapped in a small hut for many years by someone using a barrier.
But he couldn’t just be trapped here. He had more important things to do!
“Bai Ren! Bai Ren, let me out!” Mo Yi shouted loudly outside the door.
Sure enough, the man appeared in front of him soon after. Easily passing through the barrier, Bai Ren hugged Mo Yi in his arms.
“What’s wrong, darling? Missed me?” Bai Ren intentionally misinterpreted Mo Yi’s call for help, pinching his chin and giving his beloved a lingering kiss.
But Mo Yi didn’t want to fall for it again, even though he truly loved this intimacy.
Pushing the man’s face away with both hands, Mo Yi said anxiously, “Bai Ren, please help me. I can’t let you end up like what was written in that book.
You don’t know, that Gregory is not right, I have to go back to help you! I can change the past!”
He struggled to reason with his partner, but it was clear that the man wouldn’t listen to reason. Seeing that Mo Yi was still determined to leave, Bai Ren’s eyes darkened.
Stretching out his tentacles, he trapped Mo Yi and lifted him up. “It seems you still have a lot of energy left.”
Another night passed, and this time Mo Yi slept even longer.
006 was also extremely anxious. He understood Bai Ren’s feelings, but letting Mo Yi and Bai Ren continue like this was not a solution.
Knowing very well that his host’s mind was set once he had a goal, 006 could only go over various tactics he had heard from other systems in his mind.
When Mo Yi woke up, he immediately spoke eagerly, “Host, let’s use deception!”
“Deception?”
Hearing this suggestion, Mo Yi was a bit puzzled. After all, 006 had always given him the impression of being gentle and innocent, and had never come up with such an idea before.
But 006 really couldn’t let Mo Yi harm himself, using his own body to threaten the target! Ensuring safety was also one of 006’s duties as a system.
“Here’s the plan, Host. I can temporarily extract some energy from your body. It won’t actually hurt you, but it will make you appear weak. Then, the target will definitely get nervous.
You can then say that you need that holy seal to recover! Once we get the pendant, we’ll have a chance to proceed with the next step!”
006 wagged his tail, thinking it was a great idea.
Mo Yi also thought it was feasible. He hadn’t expected his little system to be so cunning.
So Mo Yi followed 006’s instructions and let him extract some of his energy, creating the illusion of being sickly.
When Bai Ren saw Mo Yi’s condition, he became extremely anxious, even willing to impart his own divine power to try and help Mo Yi recover.
But with the system’s interference, all the divine power wouldn’t be of any use.
Bai Ren was in distress, and Mo Yi took the opportunity to suggest that the holy pendant could cure him.
“Just give me the pendant, and I’ll gradually recover on my own,” Mo Yi said softly to Bai Ren.
The man’s hand paused as he was feeding porridge to Mo Yi. Seeing an opportunity, Mo Yi continued, “Just place it in front of me, please!”
Taking a deep breath, for Mo Yi’s sake, Bai Ren finally nodded.
Mo Yi was ready to prick his finger to apply blood to the pendant, but then he saw the holy seal suspended in a transparent sphere in front of him.
The sphere was crafted by Bai Ren’s divine power, extremely solid and seamless, making the pendant inside look like a piece of art.
But how was he supposed to smear his blood on it!
These two be making me stressed 😭 I hope they get revenge on Gregory!!
