Chapter 169: Mysterious Blessing, Hope You Have Fun

Feeling his arm grabbed by something, Zhang Jie turned his head in confusion, but upon seeing Yu Xiaomo he suddenly widened his eyes.

"Not my buddy!"

"This is Yu Xiaomo?!"

At that moment, Zhang Jie thought of many things, such as his relationship with Yu Xiaomo, how to explain things to Lin Ran later, and how to handle the relationship among Lin Ran, Weiniya, and Yu Xiaomo.

But he could never figure out how Yu Xiaomo managed to stay alive until now.

Moreover, looking at her appearance, she still had that cute loli look; could it be that I've time-traveled?

"We! Have we met somewhere before!"

When he heard Yu Xiaomo say those words, Zhang Jie froze for a moment, then realized what was going on.

Yu Xiaomo had long forgotten him, and besides, his current appearance was disguised; it made sense that Yu Xiaomo could never recognize him.

"So... what exactly happened?"

"Or is there something I don't know about?"

A person's first reaction is definitely not false; seeing Zhang Jie silent, Yu Xiaomo became more convinced of her inner thought.

Although her reason told her this person could hardly be Zhang Jie, the real Zhang Jie had long cleared all nightmares in the False World and then become the Nameless Legend.

Although she had countless doubts, seeing Zhang Jie remain silent, she was still anxious.

"Say something.... say something...."

Yu Xiaomo's petite frame clung to Zhang Jie's arm, shaking it constantly; the surrounding spectators had already dispersed, while the company staff in the distance looked at Yu Xiaomo with utter disbelief.

"Is... is that really President Yu?"

"Probably..."

They couldn't imagine that the usually decisive and efficient Yu Xiaomo now acted like a real little loli, clinging to a man's arm and swaying back and forth.

However, Zhang Jie didn't think that way; he was feeling miserable now...

The reason was.... he simply didn't know how to handle this situation now!

Now, how to put it? Neither acknowledging nor denying it made Zhang Jie feel terrible.

"I guess... we can count it as knowing each other."

Hearing Zhang Jie's answer, Yu Xiaomo's eyes lit up, and her little hand gripping his arm tightened a bit more.

"You remember me? Then do you know Zhang Jie or not!"

Zhang Jie:.....

"Damn, how am I supposed to say this...."

Zhang Jie scratched his head, looking at Yu Xiaomo's expectant expression, and scratched his head again.

"Let's just say we know each other...."

Upon hearing this answer again, the light in Yu Xiaomo's eyes grew stronger, the brightness feeling like a forty-watt bulb, making him feel uneasy as she stared.

"Then! Where is he!"

Yu Xiaomo, overly excited for a moment, blurted it out; then she seemed to realize something, and the light in her eyes gradually shattered.

"I'm really stupid.... how could I ask such a question..."

"Zhang Jie.... he's long been dead...."

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaomo's hand gripping Zhang Jie's arm gradually loosened, her expression full of desolation.

"Even if he knows Zhang Jie... it might not be the same person..."

Only then did Yu Xiaomo realize how foolish the words she had just spoken were; she didn't know why she suddenly became so excited, tossing normal logic aside.

For Zhang Jie, who doesn't even have a physical body in the Real World, how could he still be alive?

Moreover, she merely wanted to recover her own memory; only after looking closely did she realize she had no impression of the person before her, and although she didn't know what Zhang Jie looked like, she believed she would surely recognize him at a glance.

So... the other person is not the one she's looking for...

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie watched the little devil loli's expression shift from excitement to brokenness, then to heartbreak, leaving him feeling completely bewildered.

"No, go on and keep asking."

"This little thing has so much inner drama."

And Yu Xiaomo seemed to realize her action was too forward, she slightly bowed toward Zhang Jie.

"Sorry for disturbing you...."

Yu Xiaomo felt utterly desolate, as if she might shatter, turning to leave.

And Zhang Jie, seeing her broken state, let out a faint sigh, his heart equally helpless.

Yu Xiaomo had already forgotten him; whether they recognized each other seemed no longer important, but after all, Yu Xiaomo had been a friend who accompanied him for nearly twenty years.

The world is false, but the feelings are real.

Zhang Jie took a deep breath, slowly pulled off the disguise on his face, revealing his original appearance....

At this moment, Yu Xiaomo seemed abandoned by the world, her whole body exuding a faint loneliness, slowly departing.

The next moment, a large hand landed on her head, the familiar sensation making her shudder all over.

She turned her head in disbelief, only to see Zhang Jie's utterly familiar face.

In an instant! Time seemed to freeze forever at this moment, everything around losing its color and becoming unimportant.

In the colorless world, only Zhang Jie was colored, like a beam of light shining entirely upon Yu Xiaomo.

Memories surged like a tide, and tears poured out like a tide.

She remembered it all, she remembered everything!

And in Zhang Jie's mind, a slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded for no reason, his words shocking him mentally.

"Little thing, I said I'd give you a surprise, and it's already delivered—no need to thank me."

"No matter what, I wish you have fun playing."

As a sincere blessing rang in his heart, Zhang Jie hadn't reacted yet, and the next moment a fluffy head fiercely pounced into his embrace.

Lin Ran, on the other side, felt a chill on her buttocks, as if something she disliked had occurred.

She felt her back, found nothing unusual, but she still felt a chill.

Lin Ran pondered, but ultimately felt nothing; she scratched her head and decided to first handle the immediate situation.

In the distance, Weiniya was already fighting Liu Delie in space; besides them, many guard squads had arrived to make arrests, and the scene descended into extreme chaos.

Besides, by the Alliance's giant warship, countless biological warships were flying toward them; the Alliance, tasked with the escort mission, naturally had to come here to keep order.

To avoid further chaos, Lin Ran could only helplessly notify the Alliance, telling them she would come to deal with the matter.

At that moment, on the other side, Weiniya grew increasingly anxious under Liu Delie's attacks; she had been flying toward the sky all this time, but the group behind her clearly had no intention of letting her go.

Weiniya felt a bit depressed; she even thought that if those behind her were merely a single Deep Space Giant Beast, she could cleave them in half with one sword without hesitation.

But those behind her were different; she truly feared she might fail to cleave them.

Just as she was about to unleash a stronger divine ability, in the distance a scarlet-glinting Star-piercing Spear pierced through the pursuers one by one, precisely closing in on Weiniya's back.

Feeling the chill on her buttocks, Weiniya broke out in goosebumps all over.

Weiniya:?

She had a feeling.... This scene felt very familiar....

Boom!
