<h4>Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Escape to the Interster World (Monthly Ticket Extra)</h4><h4></h4>


    Listening to the thoughts of this family, Xuan Jiu nodded silently.


    Great, he didn’t like Zai Zai either.


    Chen Yunji didn’t even bother to cast a nce at the baby form Caicai had just shifted into.


    In this world, there were very few things that could pique his interest or draw his affection.


    Shiny objects were one.


    A tranquil environment was another.


    And then there was one more...


    Chen Yunji’s gaze drifted through the sheer white veil, faintlynding on Xiao Jinsheng, who was recliningzily on the sofa.


    Seeing that even the babyface conjured from analyzing the appearance of her rival and his Female Master had failed to provoke Mo Jiao, Caicai looked a bit deted.


    The scallion lowered its head, brooding over what other methods could be used to frustrate Mo Jiao.


    No solution came to mind.


    It bore grudges.


    Mo Jiao had just called it disgusting.


    So what if it turned into a snot worm?


    What’s so gross about a snot worm anyway?


    Ugh—


    Caicai stifled a dry heave and hurried over to Xiao Jinsheng’s side. "Kind passerby, I’ve brought you both good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"


    "Let’s hear the good news," Xiao Jinsheng replied. "I won’t listen to the bad news. If I cover my ears and ignore it, it doesn’t exist."


    "Ah, so the kind passerby actually wants to hear the bad news, huh? Got it~" Caicai grinned mischievously. "The bad news is that the Insect n has already arrived at the Mist Continent. Right now, they’re encircling the outeryer of this star."


    "Look up at the sky tonight. If you notice the stars seem especially bright and abundant, do you know why that is?"


    "Those aren’t stars; they’re the warships of the Insect n."


    The bad news was forcibly shoved into Xiao Jinsheng’s mind, causing her to feel an immediate headache.


    At that moment, she developed a newfound fear of stars.


    Just imagining the twinkling lights up there—each one possibly being an Insect n warship winking at her—was enough to make Xiao Jinsheng want to pinch the spot between her brows.


    "What’s the good news?" she asked, suspicious.


    Caicaiughed slyly and leaned against the window. "Oh, this good news is truly special. Come closer, and I’ll whisper it to you."


    "It’s just good news. Why all the secrecy?" Intrigued, Xiao Jinsheng got up and approached Caicai.


    Caicai shot a wary nce at the nine other men present in the room, deliberately activating its superpower interference field to block them out.


    After ensuring everything was secure, it even turned its back to the nine men to prevent anyone from attempting to lip-read the movements of a mere scallion.


    With a solemn tone, Caicai began, "In the Interster World, the war between humans and the Insect n has raged on for millennia."


    "Even now, the battles remain brutal and relentless."


    "The Mist Continent is no match for the Insect n."


    "Staying here means you’re not safe. The reason I came back this time is to take you away."


    "Take me away? To where?" Xiao Jinsheng’s brows furrowed.


    "To the Interster World, of course," Caicai replied.


    Although it was reluctant about letting Xiao Jinshenge into contact with Lou Yan Zhi,


    the current situation left it with no other choice. Keeping her by its side would be the safest option.


    Randomly sending her into another minor world could lead to unforeseen dangers simr to those in the Mist Continent, where trouble like that dastardly Terminal could arise again.


    Taking Xiao Jinsheng to the Interster World at least meant that even if Lou Yan Zhi proved unreliable, Caicai, as her system binding, could keep him in check.


    "Will everyone go together?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, despite already knowing the answer in her heart.


    If it were possible for everyone to leave together, Caicai wouldn’t be acting so cryptic, nor would it be guarding against her Beast Husbands.


    "I’m sorry." Caicai lowered its head guiltily. "My energy is only sufficient to ensure your safety as I take just you away."


    "But don’t worry. Even in the Interster World, I’ll protect you."


    "Though there are no Beastmen there, the males are just as outstanding."


    "This time, I’ll arrange ten—no, twenty bodyguards for you!"


    "Caicai, that won’t be necessary," Xiao Jinsheng replied with a faint smile.


    "Thank you for being willing toe back for me, but I won’t leave alone." She lowered her gaze.


    When she’d first transmigrated, knowing she was about to meet her end under the ws of the Insect n, having Caicai return to fetch her would’ve been a wee reprieve—something she wouldn’t hesitate to ept.


    Back then, Xiao Jinsheng had always regarded herself as a cold, detached person.


    Living alone after her parents left,


    she spent countless holidays in darkness while the rest of the world basked in vibrant, glowing celebrations.


    The Mist Continent, a post-apocalyptic wastnd, was a ce she neither liked nor had wanted toe to.


    But she liked the people of the Mist Continent.


    Here, she had formed new bonds—not just familial ones, but an unprecedented romantic love, as well.


    She had gained something new to protect, something she wished to guard and stay with forever.


    "No matter what happens in the future, whether my life ends three months from now when the Insect n descends, or five monthster as per Terminal’s ultimatum,"


    "whether it’s life or death, I want to be with them."


    "I will not choose to run away alone."


    "But you’re all no match for the Insect n!" Caicai eximed anxiously.


    With agitation, it reached out and tugged at Xiao Jinsheng. "I’ve consulted my Host. The Mist Continent is too far away from the Interster World."


    "And within the Interster World, power is divided among many rulers. Different star systems are governed by different authorities."


    "My Host is the ruler of the Thirteen District, the region closest to the Insect n’s battlefield."


    "The Mist Continent is a minor world. Even if the powers of the Interster World learned that you were under siege by the Insect n, they wouldn’te to your aid."


    "My Host’s position is even farther from the Mist Continent. Since the Insect n has already surrounded this ce, by the time my Host arrives, the Mist Continent will have be their territory, and humans will have long been devoured."


    The Insect n was far more formidable than Fog Corpses, Zombies, or Mutant Beasts.


    Humans on the Mist Continent couldn’t even vanquish Fog Corpses.


    How could they possibly contend against the Insect n, whose weakest members were at Thirteen Stars?


    After all, the highest Star Level among humans on the Mist Continent was merely Twelve Stars.


    "Kind passerby, please leave with me," Caicai implored desperately.


    "You go ahead. I won’t abandon them," Xiao Jinsheng replied, shaking her head as she resolutely pulled her hand out of Caicai’s grasp.


    Caicai hesitated, tempted to use force to take Xiao Jinsheng away.


    But then it remembered the words Lou Yan Zhi had spoken after it had signed the points IOU before leaving.


    Caicai deted and sighed. "I knew it—you wouldn’t leave."


    Even though Xiao Jinsheng had lost fragments of her memory,


    the scattered pieces she had managed to recall were enough to affirm her sixteen years of life on the Mist Continent.


    There were already too many things and people here that she couldn’t let go of.


    Caicai extended its hand toward Xiao Jinsheng. "Give me all your Star Stone Source Stones."


    "I only have seven," Xiao Jinsheng said as she handed over the stones, taking the opportunity to exin.


    She did want to go looking for Star Stone Mines.


    However, the only mine they had located so far had originally been revealed by Insect Brain 1.0 to Bai Yan, and its existence had only been confirmed by Caicai reading her memories.


    That mine was surrounded entirely by Fog Corpses.


    Even Eleven-Star Fog Corpses were not umon there.


    Given their current abilities, they could quietly absorb Star Stone Energy from the periphery.


    But barging in outright would mean they didn’t need to wait for the Insect n’s arrival.


    They’d be feeding themselves to the Fog Corpses prematurely.


    "I figured you wouldn’t have many Star Stone Source Stones. Good thing I prepared before heading back to the Interster World," Caicai grinned cheekily.


    As it spoke, it pulled out a bup sack from its System Space.
