256: Chapter 256 Chasing After Him

It was night when Qian Mo emerged.

The place he had just been in seemed to be some sort of restricted area, where entry and exit were only possible through the Teleportation Spirit Array at the entrance.

However... no one told him where he would be teleported to!

Looking at the towering trees all around, a scene of a primeval forest, Qian Mo was immediately at a loss.

The sheer amount of information in what Yun Long had just said to him still gave him a faint headache.

What did it mean by "in order to unite the various Families, you must take the top three in the 'World Genius Competition' planned for the next two years"; to deal with the next Star Calamity, an Elite Selection Plan had to be implemented, requiring him to join the subsequent elite squad; and the last point, the one that embarrassed him the most—to have him "keep in check" the Saintess of the Demon Race...

Of course, what ultimately made Qian Mo decide to agree was the System's another "Red Mission" following the one where he put a collar on Xing Yaoyan—《Path of the Leader》.

The mission requirements were simple: he had to become a leader of humanity; and the mission rewards were insane: a chance to reverse time, the red-tier Spiritual Artifact "Dagger of Ten Thousand Dragons", and the cultivation method from "Star Body" to "Primordial Saint Body".

Although both Uncle Yun and his own father wanted him to live a good life, having experienced so much, Qian Mo knew deep down that only by becoming stronger could he survive in this world and protect the people he cared about.

Even if the road ahead was perilous, what did he have to fear!

A surge of heroic spirit welled up inside him.

Qian Mo looked up at the sky, but unfortunately, he could only see the massive canopy completely obscuring it...

Alright, the most urgent task now was to find a way to determine his direction and find the way back...

Just as Qian Mo was debating whether to exchange Spiritual Crystals for some System Points to buy a compass or a Teleportation Talisman, a piercing honk suddenly sounded.

The next moment, two white beams of light pierced through the darkness of the forest and appeared in the young man's field of vision.

"Hey! Wait!!!"

Although he didn't know why there would be a car in a godforsaken place like this, Qian Mo couldn't care less and quickly waved his hands and shouted loudly.

Watching the beams getting closer and closer, Qian Mo thought the other party had heard his shouts and ran quickly towards the beams.

But it wasn't until he got close that he discovered an important problem—the car wasn't slowing down!!!

"Wait, get out of the way! I can't find the brake!"

A familiar voice rang out, but Qian Mo didn't have time to think about whose voice it was.

He had to save his own life right now!

Although his skills were very strong thanks to his assassin experience from his previous life... but the situation now was that he had to dodge a car speeding towards him at 150 km/h from a distance of ten meters!

Qian Mo quickly circulated his Spiritual Power, the pressure from the erupting black Spiritual Power pushing him to the side, and coupled with the enhancement of his Physique from his Star Body, he narrowly avoided the out-of-control off-road vehicle.

He watched as the out-of-control car, after passing him, began to circle around him in an extremely bizarre path.

Although it looked like the car was about to hit a tree every time, every time it seemed as if some mysterious force forcibly nudged the car aside, making it barely scrape past.

But before Qian Mo could even manage to see who was inside the car, he suddenly realized that his body was once again enveloped by the white headlights...

Damn... it's chasing and killing me...

Qian Mo was already numb.

Fortunately, the driver seemed to have finally found where the brake was, and the speed had dropped significantly.

Finally, the car performed a cool drift, and just like that, smoothly... got stuck between two trees...

"Vroom~ Vroom~"

The person in the car kept pressing the accelerator, still trying to break free.

But obviously, the car was stuck a bit too firmly; no matter how the engine roared, the car remained stuck and motionless...

"Clap!"

The passenger door opened.

A young man's figure rolled onto the ground, and then began to retch violently, clearly quite dizzy.

By the light of the car's headlights, Qian Mo could quickly identify the person—it was none other than Chi Xie, whom he had met at the underground bar.

He didn't expect that the first person to come pick him up would be the life-and-death brother he had only met once before...

It had to be said, Qian Mo was actually a bit touched.

And just as he was about to walk over to check on the other person, the driver's side door was kicked open.

He turned his head at the sound, and the first thing he saw was a pair of beautiful legs that looked like a work of art... followed by a familiar, lovely figure jumping out of the car in a carefree manner.

The young girl, wearing denim shorts and a little devil T-shirt, landed steadily, looking completely unaffected by the crazy driving just now. Her snow-white long hair was particularly dazzling against the car lights, and her beautiful eyes shone with a golden fluorescent glow in the night.

She walked towards the young man with a smile, her pace getting faster and faster, until she was even jogging.

While Qian Mo was still immersed in the beautiful sight and hadn't come back to his senses, Xing Yaoyan suddenly threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

"Mo... welcome back..."

Because of the height difference, Xing Yaoyan had to slightly tiptoe so she could rest her head on his shoulder.

Qian Mo subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist.

But soon, he realized that in the eyes of the previous Xiao Yan, this was definitely an invasive action, and she wouldn't have liked him doing this.

But this time, she only trembled slightly, but did not make any resistant movements.

"Xiao Yan... what did you just call me..."

"Mo, why... does it not sound good?"

Xing Yaoyan looked up at Qian Mo's gradually reddening cheeks and said with a smile, unaware that her own cheeks were even redder at this moment.

"No, of course it sounds good... it's just that hearing a different form of address suddenly, I'm a bit unaccustomed to it..." Qian Mo felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He had originally felt some regret that the first person he saw when he came out wasn't Xing Yaoyan, and he hadn't expected that he had underestimated how much she cared about him.

Qian Mo, you really are a fool...

The young man mentally slapped himself hard.

Then he lowered his head and looked affectionately into the girl's beautiful eyes; the light from the car's headlights made every subtle expression on her face clearly visible in the night.

Her eyes were full of only him...

Qian Mo felt the emotions in his chest were completely uncontrollable; he could no longer hold back, lowered his head, and kissed her fiercely.

"Mmm~ Mmm~"

Xing Yaoyan clearly hadn't expected that he would dare to launch a sneak attack at this moment, and without any defense, she let him succeed.

But soon, the longing and worry of the past few days turned her initial slight resistance into a gradually fierce offensive, even gaining the upper hand in this battle of attack and defense.

And Qian Mo didn't settle for being the submissive one like he used to; for the first time, he fought back.

The intense stimulation, coupled with the unexpected attack, made the young girl lose her footing for a moment, and her originally steady breathing rhythm began to become chaotic.

Her body went limp in his arms, revealing a losing position, almost as if she were throwing down her armor and weapons.

Don't know how long passed, their lips parted.

Both were panting slightly, and the "crystal necklace" connecting their lips was proof of the madness of this kiss.

Qian Mo was in okay condition, just with slightly red cheeks, but Xing Yaoyan's condition was much "worse".
