What had just occurred?
In truth, she could sense that there was no menacing aura in her vicinity.
However, she could no longer access Paradise Planet, and Qiuqiu had vanished from her awareness. Dottie and the small lump were nowhere to be found!
If this wasn’t the result of someone’s spiritual pressure manipulation, then what was the cause?
It felt as though everyone had vanished in the blink of an eye. She suddenly entertained the unsettling notion that perhaps Qiuqiu and the others had never existed at all.
Could this be a dream?

No, that couldn’t be!
“Mo Lian, Mo Lian!” the young girl called out.
“Duan Yue?”

Qiao Mu abruptly turned around, only to find the courtyard utterly devoid of souls.
She turned again. The dark road ahead remained empty.
“Mo Lian, Mo Lian,” Qiao Mu called everyone’s name, but no one responded.
A chilling sensation gripped her, as if she had been plunged into an icy abyss, as if she had returned to a desolate past.
She was left with nothing…
Bang!
Startled, she gazed up at the dark night sky.
There, it seemed as if countless stars were bursting into brilliance. Dazzling fireworks illuminated the entire courtyard in an instant.
The young girl took a step back, her eyes still recovering from the sudden shock.
As she turned around, she was astonished to find Mo Lian there.
Qing Zhu stood not far behind him, fixating her gaze on him.
Qiaoqiao almost felt like she was floating as she rushed toward him, breathless. “Mo Lian! You…”
The figure dissipated indifferently, as if what she had witnessed was a mere illusion.
“Mo Lian, Mo Lian!” Qiaoqiao cried out while dashing frantically around the courtyard. Her anxiety caused her to break into a sweat, and her petite face contorted with worry.
Beneath the night sky, the fireworks resembled shattered stars, almost within her grasp.
After running back and forth in the courtyard for a while, Qiao Mu suddenly came to a halt, her gaze fixed on the figure standing at the entrance of her room.
It was Mo Lian, unmistakably him.
His ebony hair was loosely tied back, cascading behind him.
The white brocade attire exuded an ethereal elegance under the dazzling fireworks.
His eyes were akin to a masterpiece, elegant and otherworldly.
He stood beneath the porch, his gaze as deep as the ocean. He observed her silently, and the brilliant fireworks behind him instantly transformed into his backdrop.

It wasn’t until that person extended his hand toward her, gesturing for a hug.
Without a second thought, the young girl ran over and threw herself into his embrace.
It was only when her petite hand encircled his warm waist that she finally realized the person in front of her was not an illusion…
“Mo Lian, where did you go with them?” Miss Qiao asked, a mixture of disappointment and fear in her voice.
Just moments ago, she had stood alone at the courtyard entrance, and the sensation had been genuinely unsettling. It felt as though the entire world had forsaken her.
“Mo Lian, where did you and the others go?”
“Why is there… no one at home?” The young girl lifted her head, and when she met his calm gaze, her heart inexplicably quivered.
“W-what’s happening?”
On some primal level, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao sensed an impending storm on the horizon.
“Were you scared a moment ago?”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao instinctively nodded.
In the next instant, his lips descended upon hers.
She immediately reached out to push him away, but he captured her hands and firmly pressed her against the door of the side room.
