Xin Kun felt a bad premonition surge within him.
As expected, the very next second, these points of light suddenly grew larger and brighter.
They then connected to form a chain of shimmering starlight, immediately binding Xin Kun.
At this very moment, Mu Qingqing revealed a smile of a plan well executed.
"High-grade True Artifact, Sixteen Star Moons, activate!"
Ultimately, this was all thanks to Senior Star Emperor.
The Sixteen Star Moons chain could transform into immense stars, and also into minuscule points of light.
As soon as Mu Qingqing successfully switched personalities, she had released the Sixteen Star Moons.
Xin Kun, bound by the sudden chain, his expression changed drastically.
He urgently tried to forcibly break free from this chain, only to discover that the true essence within his body was sealed by this peculiar starlight chain.
He instantly plummeted from the sky, and the hands that had been gripping Liu Yuanhao and his daughter were also released at this moment.
The disciples of the Four Symbols Academy and the branch dean also successfully broke free from Xin Kun's control.
Mu Qingqing seized the opportunity, leaping forward and catching the injured Liu Yuanhao and Liu Furong.
Liu Yuanhao, after all, was a King Realm expert, and his injuries were relatively minor.
But Liu Furong was different. Her previously snow-white neck had been choked red by Xin Kun, and a trace of blood now marred her beautiful face.
Liu Furong struggled to open her eyes, and her gaze met Mu Qingqing's star-like, beautiful star-wheel pupils.
"These... these eyes!"
Liu Furong had a strange sense of familiarity with these eyes.
Were these not the same eyes she saw on Xin Ci when he held her and escaped from the underground cave in the Lin Chuan Forest?
And now she was being held by the Xin Ci before her, looking at these familiar star-wheel pupils.
Liu Furong couldn't help but become lost in thought, murmuring, "Is it you from back then? Xin Ci? Or another you..."
Liu Furong's voice was very soft, but it still startled Mu Qingqing slightly.
Had Liu Furong figured out who she was?!
"Um... can I say it's not me?"
Mu Qingqing was a little awkward for a moment.
Although she was currently holding a delicate woman, it was her second personality controlling Xin Ci's body.
"It's you, no doubt about it. You are the Xin Ci from back then."
Liu Furong said with certainty, still clinging tightly to Mu Qingqing's pants, her eyes filled with deep expectation.
Ever since she had seen Xin Ci again in the Tiankeng Secret Realm, she had noticed something unusual about him.
Why did Xin Ci sometimes seem like a different person, and why would his cultivation realm suddenly increase?
Although Liu Furong hadn't figured this out yet, the one thing she was certain of was that every time the other Xin Ci appeared, Xin Ci's eyes would transform into star-wheel pupils.
"I say, Big Sister, can you please stop bothering about whether I'm Xin Ci or not? If you don't let go soon, you'll tear my pants off."
Looking at Liu Furong clinging to her pant leg like a sloth, Mu Qingqing found herself between laughter and tears.
Helplessly, she could only seek help from Liu Yuanhao.
As it turned out, this fellow had been watching from the side the entire time, with an unreadable smile on his face.
In his eyes, Mu Qingqing, who occupied Xin Ci's body, and Liu Furong were flirting, acting even more intimately than lovers.
"Dean Liu, what exactly are you smiling about? And why are you just watching? Hurry up and pull your daughter off me!"
Mu Qingqing couldn't help but say to Liu Yuanhao.
"Well done, Xin Ci! What have you done to make my daughter so infatuated with you!"
"What infatuated with him, Father, don't talk nonsense!"
Before Liu Yuanhao could finish speaking, Liu Furong was already overcome with shyness, her cheeks turning a deep red.
What was this father and daughter duo up to?
Their back-and-forth banter left everyone present completely baffled.
The three members of the Xin family had darkened expressions, thinking, "Are the people from Four Symbols Academy sick? We're still right here, and you're completely ignoring us?"
Xin Kun, who had fallen from the sky earlier, looked at Xin Ci and Liu Furong acting intimately before him, feeling as if he had inexplicably been fed a large portion of dog food.
An aura of furious rage erupted from Xin Kun's body, his teeth grinding in anger.
His body erupted in golden light, directly breaking through the restraint of the Sixteen Star Moons chain.
A golden, shimmering armor covered Xin Kun's entire body.
This was his mid-grade True Artifact, the Bright Gold Armor.
Coupled with his Heavenly Venerate realm strength, he managed to forcefully break free from the high-grade True Artifact's restraint.
Xin Kun no longer cared about anything else, charging directly at Mu Qingqing and roaring, "You dare to act so intimately in front of me? Then I'll send you both to hell to be a pair of star-crossed lovers!"
Seeing Xin Kun rushing towards her at high speed, Mu Qingqing slashed her finger.
The Sixteen Star Moons chain transformed into points of light and returned before her, forming a net of chains.
"Ten Directions Heavenly Style, Spider Web Formation."
This was the true meaning of the chain technique that accompanied the Sixteen Star Moons chain, the Ten Directions Heavenly Style.
Xin Kun, who had been charging forward at high speed, was tightly entangled by the net of chains.
This time, even with his Bright Gold Armor, he could not break free.
At the same time, he noticed that Xin Ci's cultivation realm had unknowingly advanced to the Half-Step Heavenly Venerate realm.
No wonder the power of the Sixteen Star Moons chain had increased so much.
Xin Kun gritted his teeth in anger, "Trash! Release me quickly! If you have the guts, don't use a high-grade True Artifact and fight me one-on-one!"
"Are you good at fighting? What's the use of being good at fighting? When fighting, it's not just about strength, but also about equipment. What grade is that flashy golden armor of yours?"
"Mid-grade True Artifact!"
Xin Kun said proudly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingqing's lips curled into a sinister, charming arc, "So you're just a small-time hustler. You don't even have a high-grade True Artifact? How can you claim to be from a super family in the Central Continent."
"You..."
Hearing Mu Qingqing's insult, Xin Kun was so angry he almost spat blood.
"What 'you'? You single dog! Seeing me getting close to a beautiful sister made you so uncomfortable? Then I'll make you even more uncomfortable."
With that, Mu Qingqing wrapped her arm around Liu Furong's waist, pulling Liu Furong closer into her embrace.
Liu Furong was startled by Mu Qingqing's action, her cheeks flushing even deeper, like a ripe red apple. She was too shy to look up.
Mu Qingqing didn't notice Liu Furong's reaction; she simply wanted to provoke Xin Kun.
"How is it? I have a beautiful sister, and you have a disease! I'm just here to make you angry, jealous, envious, and hateful."
"You... *cough!*"
Hearing Mu Qingqing's taunt, Xin Kun, overwhelmed by rage, finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Xin Kun spit blood, Mu Qingqing's mood improved.
However, Xin Ci in the consciousness space was dejected. Through the light screen, he saw Mu Qingqing hugging Liu Furong using his body.
It felt as if ten thousand mythical beasts were stampeding through his heart.
When he switched back to his own personality later, how would he explain things clearly to Senior Sister Liu?
Xin Ci inwardly lamented.
Xin Tu, who was in the sky above the Four Symbols Academy, saw Xin Kun spitting blood and getting injured, and he roared in anger, "Waste! You two are absolute wastes! You can't even deal with a mere King Realm bastard! You shame the Xin family who trained you for so many years! You've completely disgraced the Xin family's reputation!"
