Every day at 5:00 PM, Daddy Bai would drive Mommy Bai, who had just gotten off work, home. Today, both of them came home together again.
The house was filled with the fragrance of cooked food, and the couple was baffled as they exchanged a glance.
âIs Qingqing cooking?â Mommy Bai said happily, then casually placed her bag on the sofa before heading for the kitchen.
Testing the soupâs saltiness, Bai Qingqing suddenly paused. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she forgot to pour the soup in the ladle back into the pot, placing it directly on the counter. The soup splashed on her arm, causing Bai Qingqing to gasp. She casually wiped it off and then opened the kitchenâs glass door. âMom!â The moment Bai Qingqing spoke, her reddened eyes moistened up.
Mommy Bai smiled as she looked at her, feeling consoled while saying, âMy daughter has grown up.â
Bai Qingqing walked over quickly to hug her, sobbing as she said, âMommy, I missed you so much!â
Mommy Bai turned her head to exchange a glance with Daddy Bai, asking worriedly, âWere you aggrieved outside?â
Bai Qingqing shook her head, choking and unable to say anything.
âSister lost her phone. She must be scared that you guys will beat her up.â
At this moment, Bai Xiaofan walked out. He reached out as he spoke, picked a piece of meat, and popped it into his mouth. He said in surprise while eating, âIt tastes quite good.â
The green veins on Bai Qingqingâs forehead twitched, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She should have bashed him up. One shouldnât betray their sister like that!
Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai heaved a sigh of relief in unison, then put on solemn expressions.
At the next moment, Bai Qingqing felt a pain in her ear. Mommy Bai was pulling it.
âWhere did you lose the phone that you bought just last month?â Mommy Bai bellowed furiously.
Bai Qingqing cried out in pain. âI lost it in the mountains.â
Mommy Baiâs heart ached when she saw her daughterâs eyes were red and swollen. Only then did she let go of her. âForget it. Letâs eat.â
If this was any other time, Bai Qingqing would be given a good scolding. But having already turned 21-years-old, she looked very sensible. Moreover, she didnât care that sheâd be scolded and even missed it. Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai both felt this and thus didnât hold it against her.
Bai Xiaofan âtskedâ as he watched from the side. Smart, this was really smart. He should also try this out the next time he committed a mistake.
...
On the other side of Earth, in a certain country in South America, Muir stood by himself by a lake in the suburbs.
Due to the distance between the two worlds, Muir wasnât accurately summoned to Bai Qingqingâs side. He had only narrowly entered this world.
His face was in a complete daze at the moment.
Was this the world Qingqing lived in?
There were so many people.
He had flown up to take a quick look around and was shocked by the groups of people as well as the bare rectangular-shaped rocks that didnât have any grass growing (tall buildings). This was despite the fact he had seen a similar scene from the illusion the ape king had displayed with his mental power five years ago.
He knew there were many humans in Qingqingâs world, with the same number of females and males. It was a strange world that was very different from the beastmen world.
Muir was smart and didnât reveal himself. He tried to find out about this world and then looked for a small forest in a quiet and secular place.
Where was Qingqing? Why did it feel that... she was under his feet?
Muir lowered his head. His mind was in a complete mess.
He could sense that he was very far away from Qingqing, so far that he felt anxious. However, it wasnât the incessantly plunging feeling he had felt in the beastmen world. This meant that Qingqing was in this world.
But where on earth was she?
âBeepâ Beepââ
A few piercing horns rang out and Muir glanced over sharply, emitting aggressiveness.
