I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Kashgar mountain range fell into a deathly silence.

Old Liu looked at the two figures, and his expression instantly became serious.

Dewey's eyes widened in disbelief.

Purple Heaven God? Wasn't he "cultivated" by Fatty Li in Jiangnan City?

At this moment, she stood behind the girl like a maid, her head bowed and eyes lowered.

What made Dewey's scalp tingle even more was that the golden-eyed beasts in the mountains were all obediently lying on the ground.

They didn't even dare to raise their heads, their dark golden scales pressed against the ground.

Those high-level beasts were even worse off, their heads drooping, their massive bodies trembling slightly, and low whimpers emanating from their throats.

Suddenly, Zi Jin's gaze fell on Li An, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Li An felt that gaze, and his gray eyes also looked at Zi Jin.

Their eyes met. Li An's expression remained unchanged.

Zi Jin's lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, Old Liu spoke in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Zi Jin didn't even lift his eyelids, his gaze remaining fixed on Li An, and calmly uttered a few words: "You are not qualified to know my identity."

Old Liu's expression stiffened slightly.

He had lived most of his life and had never been so ignored.

But faced with overwhelming power, he couldn't resist.

Anger requires a basis, and at this moment, he had no basis.

Zi Jin took a step forward and stood in front of Li An, looking the girl up and down, who was covered in blood but still stood up straight.

"Would you like to come with your sister?"

Before Li An could speak, Old Liu couldn't hold back any longer.

He stepped forward, his voice low and deep: "She is a citizen of my Dragon Kingdom."

Zi Jin still didn't look at him.

It doesn't even qualify as "ignoring".

Old Liu was like an annoying fly, buzzing around, but not worth her raising her hand to swat.

Li An shook his head, his gray eyes devoid of any emotion: "I need to wait for someone."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zi Jin's eyes.

The little girl was covered in wounds and her breathing was disordered, yet she possessed a stubbornness that surprised even herself.

In Imperial Star City, countless talented individuals desperately wanted to become her servants, but to no avail.

She rarely took the initiative to speak, but she was rejected?

"You don't know my identity yet." Zi Jin introduced himself for the first time, his tone carrying an undeniable pride, "I am Zi Jin, the young master of the First Empire's Imperial Star City."

However, Li An's expression remained unchanged.

"I'm waiting for someone." That's the same sentence again.

Zi Jin was taken aback, and the smile on his lips froze for a moment.

She took a deep breath and patiently added, "Imperial Star City is the ruler of this star system. If you stay here, you'll be trapped on this dying planet for the rest of your life. Come with me, and you'll see a wider world."

"I'm waiting for someone," Li An said.

Zi Jin was taken aback.

What is her identity?

Young Master of Emperor Star City, the First Empire of Purple Emperor Star, and a seventh-tier prodigy of Emperor Star City.

When has she ever invited anyone in such a humble manner?

"Girl!" Zi Bai rushed forward, her tone carrying an urgent "you don't know what's good for you" tone.

"The young master intends to recruit you; this is an opportunity your small world could never attain in several lifetimes! As long as you agree, with just a word from the young master, this small world can exist without worry forever!"

She spoke with her chin slightly raised, as if being a servant of Zi Jin was a great honor.

"I'm waiting for someone." That was the only sentence Li An ever said.

Zi Bai's expression changed slightly.

She glanced at Zi Jin secretly, only to find that the young master was not angry at all.

Zi Jin was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"You really pique my curiosity." She looked at Li An with great interest. "Who exactly is this person that would make you give up such a rare opportunity?"

Li An remained silent for a while, his gray eyes showing confusion.

"I don't know," she said. "I forgot. But I'll wait."

Zi Jin was completely stunned.

This girl didn't even know who she was waiting for, yet she rejected him?

"Your Excellency—" Old Liu spoke again, "She is a citizen of my Dragon Kingdom, and her fate is not for outsiders to decide."

Zi Jin finally glanced at Old Liu.

"A Dragon Country person?" Her voice was soft, yet carried a chilling coldness. "If I hadn't arrived just in time, you would have devoured her, wouldn't you?"

Old Liu remained expressionless and said in a deep voice, "Everything I have done is for the Dragon Kingdom and for all mankind."

"Hmph." Zi Jin sneered, his laughter full of mockery. "Using the greater good as an excuse to do despicable things. Sacrificing others is called putting the greater good first; you think you're part of the greater good, don't you?"

She paused, then said, "Someone like you, though you may have good aptitude, is of low character and is a disgrace to the human race."

Old Liu's expression finally changed, and he clenched his hands tightly, but dared not lash out.

He's not stupid; this isn't the time to act impulsively.

If you act impulsively, you might truly sacrifice yourself for the greater good.

Slogans like "for the sake of the nation" and "for the greater good" might fool others, but he himself wouldn't take them seriously.

After Zi Jin finished speaking, he looked at Li An.

"Come with me, sister." Her voice was soft. "I won't treat you like a servant. From today onwards, you are my sister."

Behind him, Zi Bai's expression suddenly changed, and he clenched his sleeves tightly.

The young master actually wants to take this girl from a lowly world as his younger sister?

She has served the young master for so many years, yet she is still just a maid.

"I want to wait..." Li An repeated again, but this time she didn't finish her sentence.

Zi Jin suddenly reached out and beckoned, and a gentle yet irresistible force lifted Li An's body, involuntarily floating towards her.

"Your initiative in coming here means you've agreed," Zi Jin said with a smile.

Li An struggled to break free, but the force was too strong, and all his efforts were in vain.

Zi Jin's tone was like coaxing a child, "Once we arrive at Imperial Star City, if you need to wait for someone, your sister will help you find them."

With that, Zi Jin nodded in satisfaction.

She turned to look at Old Liu and the men in black, her eyes sparkling.

She has discovered that the people in this small world are exceptionally gifted.

Despite being limited by the barren environment, their innate talent surpasses that of many geniuses in the Imperial Star City.

She suddenly became interested.

Who exactly is this person who can make this stubborn little girl willing to refuse him and wait for him?

Who erased Zi Bai's memories?

Could it be the same person?

Zi Jin released his spiritual power, which swept outwards towards the outer perimeter of the Kashgar Mountains, enveloping the entire Dragon Kingdom in almost an instant.

Her spiritual power swept across every city, every base, and every corner.

Then, her brows furrowed.

"No?" she murmured to herself.

She didn't discover anything special, not even a trace of anything that caught her attention.

But just as she was about to withdraw her mental energy, her expression suddenly changed.

"Purple and White." She turned her head, her voice turning cold. "What is your clone doing?"

His purple-white body trembled violently.

"Young Master, I..." Zi Bai's voice trembled, "I severed the connection with my clone. It is now... an independent entity."

"Go and clean it up yourself," Zi Jin said, "I'll be waiting for you on the starship."

With that, she took a step forward, carrying the still struggling Li An, and disappeared from the spot.

His purple and white face alternated between pale and green.

She stared in the direction where Zi Jin had disappeared, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Zi Bai gritted his teeth, slowly turned around, and looked at Old Liu and the others.

"Ants."

She raised her hand and slapped it down.

"boom--"

A terrifying burst of power erupted instantly, slamming into the location where Elder Liu and the others were.

The ground exploded, sending debris flying, and a deep five-finger-shaped crater appeared on the scorched earth.

Old Liu and the others, unaware of their fate, were buried by rubble and dust.

Zi Bai didn't look at it again.

With a swift movement, she transformed into a streak of white light and shot towards Jiangnan City.

A two-story villa in Jiangnan City.

The curtains were drawn, and a sweet, cloying scent filled the air.

The purple and white clone put on clothes for the first time, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked pale.

"Stop trying to control me," Zi Bai said slowly, "I've arrived in person."

Fatty Li gave a wry smile. "What should we do?"

Zi Bai murmured, "I'm afraid I'll be killed along with you. You'd better watch yourself."

"I don't care if I die, it's just that I've dragged you into this," Fatty Li said insincerely.

Zi Bai glanced at Fatty Li, "I will merge with her before my main body makes a move."

Fatty Li was taken aback.

"But I'm just her clone. Will she kill you in the end?"

"You... good luck."
