The End Times as a Song

Chapter 614 Misbehavior

Shortly after Coal Ball turned and left, Xi Xiangyue, acting on orders from her superiors, hurriedly arrived at the place where Lin Moshi was—in front of that tightly closed door. However, unlike the others, Xi Xiangyue did not rashly speak or barge in. Like a cunning fox, she stood quietly at the door, her beautiful eyes peering through the crack in the door, intently watching every subtle movement of Lin Moshi inside.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Lin Moshi, though seemingly focused on his task, sensed an approaching danger through his keen intuition. Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head, his nostrils flaring as if he had detected something unusual. Without hesitation, he swiftly formed hand seals, chanting incantations, and a sharp beam of magical light shot from his hands, heading straight for Xi Xiangyue outside the door. At the same time, he shouted, "Who dares to spy here!"

A woman dressed in plain clothes with a beautiful face knelt respectfully on the ground. She lowered her head and said softly, "Your subordinate, Xi Xiangyue, has come on the orders of the Jade Emperor to inform the Last God to return to the Heavenly Court." As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Xiangyue quickly kowtowed and performed a standard deep bow.

At that moment, a slight noise came from inside the room. Immediately afterwards, a tall and aloof figure slowly walked out of the room. This person was none other than Lin Moshi. He was wearing a black robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, further emphasizing his imposing presence.

Lin Moshi's face was ashen, his gaze fixed on Xi Xiangyue with piercing intensity, and he coldly questioned, "Hmph, you say you came under orders, but I'm afraid you're here to supervise me, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Xiangyue trembled slightly, but quickly regained her composure. She raised her head and replied coquettishly, "How could I dare to have such thoughts... Lord of the End Times, you have truly misunderstood me!" However, although she said she dared not, her tone was somewhat frivolous, which aroused suspicion.

Seeing this, Lin Moshi frowned even more, a flash of anger in his eyes. He sternly rebuked, "Still saying you dare not? Then why are you sneaking around spying on me outside my door? Is this also acting under orders?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and approached Xi Xiangyue, his powerful aura making Xi Xiangyue almost unable to breathe.

Faced with Lin Moshi's rebuke, Xi Xiangyue inwardly groaned. She knew all too well that this god-king of the apocalypse had a violent temper and hated disrespect and rudeness towards him. This time, she had inadvertently touched a raw nerve, and if she didn't handle it properly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“My Lord, you have been away for far too long! Lady Zheng Shang has been thinking of you day and night. Her longing for you is like a never-ending river! Moreover, the Great Emperor has specifically instructed his subordinates to find you and Lord Zhe Yu and bring you back!” Xi Xiangyue said anxiously to Lin Moshi, gesturing with her hands to emphasize her emotions.

"Xi Xiangyue! I've put up with you for too long! Stop acting all sarcastic! Don't always use Emperor Yuan Shun to intimidate me! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're one of Emperor Yuan Shun's people." Lin Moshi continued to lecture Xi Xiangyue.

"Understood!" This time, Xi Xiangyue didn't argue with Lin Moshi; instead, she was very obedient.

"Get up!" Lin Moshi raised his hand slightly, gesturing for Xi Xiangyue to rise. He looked at the woman in front of him, who was usually quite stubborn, and was surprised to see her so obedient and compliant. However, he quickly regained his composure and stopped trying to make things difficult for her.

Xi Xiangyue slowly stood up as if granted a pardon, gently brushing the dust off her clothes. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Moshi's deep and majestic gaze.

“It’s really time to go back… We’ve been out here for too long. During this time, we haven’t been able to find any news about the Divine Source, and we don’t know how our mother is doing back home. Counting the days, it’s time to go back and visit her.” Lin Moshi murmured to himself, looking thoughtfully into the distance, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and concern.

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling a few strands of hair on his forehead, adding to his ethereal appearance. Yet, his furrowed brow remained furrowed, as if a heavy boulder weighed on his heart.

At this moment, Lin Moshi's heart was filled with contradictions and entanglements. He murmured to himself, "But what should I do with Huan? Just a short while ago, she promised to stay with me, but now this brief time together is about to end, and we will soon face the pain of separation. But if I don't go back now, who will take care of and settle my mother?" For a moment, Lin Moshi felt as if he was being pulled by an invisible force, torn between two choices, unsure of what to do.

Xi Xiangyue, who had been observing Lin Moshi's changing expression, keenly sensed what was on his mind and quietly interjected, "My Lord, are you planning to set off immediately?"

Upon hearing Xi Xiangyue's question, Lin Moshi was slightly taken aback, then quickly waved his hand and said, "No... no rush! Let A Yu rest properly first..." After saying that, he unconsciously turned his gaze to Wu Zheyu, who was taking a nap beside him, as if he wanted to use this reason to buy himself more time to think and make a decision.

Lin Moshi frowned, his gaze deep and solemn as he stared into the distance, as if piercing through the mists of time and space to see the various possibilities and choices of the future. He thought to himself, "Tomorrow I must find a suitable opportunity to explain everything to Huan. After I return to my hometown and properly handle my mother's affairs, I will honestly explain the matter of the divine source to Yuan Shun, and then resolutely relinquish my divine status. Only in this way can I openly and honestly be with Huan, and spend the rest of my life together."
