Time Traveler Help Hotline

On a small hill not far from the starting village, Priestess Lisa and Zhang Qixuan sat close together.

"Hero..." Her voice choked, trembling slightly, making her sound especially pitiful in the quiet night. Tears welled in her eyes as she gently tugged at Zhang Qixuan's sleeve. "Please believe me... what I said before wasn't my true intention."

Zhang Qixuan had originally decided to ignore her, but seeing her like this, his heart softened again.

"That person... that person named Ji Mo, his aura is terrifying."

The priestess nestled closer, her breath sweet and fragrant, her words full of suggestive undertones.

"To protect you, to protect this world, I had no choice but to say those things against my conscience and cruelly send you back! And that woman who came later, you saw it too, they don't allow any dissent at all."

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Jiu Chonglou and Ji Mo standing under a tree not far away.

Jiu Chonglou leaned against a tree, arms crossed, his face showing a speechless expression that said, "Seeing this scene so late at night is really bad luck."

"I should have done as he wanted and sent it back directly." Ji Mo rarely regretted it.

Having witnessed firsthand the glaring disparity in living standards between nobles and commoners in this world, returning to the starting village only to encounter this scene is incredibly ironic.

"Should we stop it?"

"There's no need for that." Jiu Chonglou turned and walked towards the inn. "Anyway, he's over fifteen. He'll take responsibility if anything happens. Even if the officials come, they can't stop a fool from having sex."

In this place far from the city, where no one from the village lives elsewhere, an inn was built because of the presence of a hero. Even the innkeeper is a simple but reasonably good-looking village woman.

Ji Mo had given up on figuring out how this inn, which relied entirely on the money from the brave travelers' rent, could have been operating for over a hundred years.

The village woman, who had just been woken up, said irritably, "One gold coin per room."

Jiu Chonglou took out two incongruous gold coins from his modern wallet, which was printed with snake patterns and was engraved with the symbols of the gods worshipped in this world.

[Golden Snake Wallet: A flagship product of Wuhai Jie Private Golden Snake Bank, automatically converting the required currency with a mere 0.01% transaction fee!]

Upon receiving the gold coins, the village woman immediately changed her tune and led the way.

……

The next morning, as the rising sun dispelled the thin mist, the four of them gathered on the first floor of the hotel.

Zhang Qixuan had dark circles under his eyes, but his expression was unusually excited. The priestess followed closely by his side, and the two of them had their little fingers blatantly intertwined.

Overnight, the estrangement between Zhang Qixuan and the priestess disappeared completely, and their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds; they practically glared at each other.

"We should get going." Ji Mo pretended not to notice the change in their relationship.

"Now? Aren't you looking for someone? And I also..."

Zhang Qixuan looked reluctant and was about to postpone his trip when his little finger was gently hooked.

The priestess winked playfully, her words carrying a hidden meaning: "Hero, don't forget what you said last night."

Thinking of the troublesome juvenile protection law and the information the priestess provided last night, Zhang Qixuan took a deep breath and suppressed his resentment deep inside.

"Once I get back, I'll join the official Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, quickly establish myself, and then crush those two under my feet," he vowed silently.

"If there are no other questions, I'll be going now."

Jiu Chonglou raised his hand and opened a portal, behind which lay another space.

Jiu Chonglou led the way in, and Zhang Qixuan snorted coldly under Ji Mo's warning gaze, leaving behind the words "I can walk by myself" before striding inside.

Ji Mo did not follow immediately, but looked at the priestess.

The priestess seemed quite certain that Zhang Qixuan couldn't hear her on the other side of the portal. She elegantly tossed a strand of hair behind her ear and asked with captivating charm, "Aren't you leaving, sir? Perhaps you're interested in me?"

"No, I'm making a comparison, a comparison with a follower of another god." Ji Mo conjured up the image of another person in his mind, his expression filled with disdain: "Compared to her, you, who are also followers of a god, are less of a believer and more of a prostitute using the name of a god."

Ji Mo walked forward without looking back, leaving the priestess in a rage.

……

The other end of the portal led to the official branch base. In the solemn environment, personnel in uniform hurried over.

The woman at the head, who was the only one not wearing a uniform but dressed as a nurse, thanked Ji Mo and Jiu Chonglou: "Thanks to your help, a family tragedy was averted this time."

Zhang Qixuan, standing to the side, sized up these people: "Are you government officials?"

The nurse wore a sweet smile, but her eyes held a hint of doubt: "Yes, please come with us. We'll arrange for you to meet your family right away."

"No, no, I mean I want to join you!"

"Oh? Join us?" A strange glint flashed in the nurse's eyes as she asked. "May I ask why?"

Ji Mo felt something trying to bind him, but that force was too weak for him to work. Jiu Chonglou, pretending not to notice anything, secretly made a few strokes in Ji Mo's palm.

True Word Technique.

Just as Jiu Chonglou finished making the last stroke, Zhang Qixuan's mouth opened and closed uncontrollably, revealing all his innermost thoughts.

"Of course, it's for Lisa and her world! Once I rise to the top here, and gain control of resources and power, I can legitimately mobilize forces to support that world! No one will be able to stop me then..."

As the effects of the True Word spell faded, Zhang Qixuan snapped back to reality, covering his mouth in terror, but it was too late.

How could he reveal everything that Lisa, the priestess, had taught him?

The nurse's sweet smile remained unchanged; she merely tilted her head slightly, her gaze shifting towards Ji Mo: "Just as you two said, sigh, are young people these days so susceptible to the charms of beautiful women? How many is this now?"

"No, those words just now... Yes! These two people cast a curse on me!" Zhang Qixuan hurriedly explained.

"If the tongue can lie, what about memory?"

"What...?"

The nurse reached out to Zhang Qixuan's forehead, but an invisible force restricted his movements, leaving him no choice but to let her grab his forehead and slowly pull out a book.

The pages flipped automatically and quickly, revealing a rich combination of text and images. The main character was undoubtedly Zhang Qixuan.

A minute later, the nurse finished reading the book. Her tone was still gentle, but her eyes had turned cold: "Sigh, your temperament is not suited to having power. For the safety of those around you, it's better to seal it away."

Under Zhang Qixuan's horrified gaze, the nurse conjured a giant pair of scissors, nearly half a person's height, and precisely placed the tip on his chest.

"Wait, wait! I'm a minor! I'm protected by law!"

"Yes, our goal is to protect more innocent children."

Click.

Zhang Qixuan felt something important inside him completely subside with the symbolic cutting. The next second, a pure white restraint suit appeared out of thin air and instantly wrapped him tightly. Immense pain came from all parts of his body, and he cried out twice before fainting from the pain.

"Fortunately, it's only at the second tier, so its power isn't too strong, making the sealing relatively easy." The nurse exclaimed, put away the scissors, and thanked the two again: "Thank you both for the information."
