"Master Souichirou!"
Although they had already confirmed their relationship and Medea had received a diamond ring from Souichirou, she still habitually used a respectful address.
Medea ran up to Souichirou, pulled back her hood, revealing her beautiful face underneath. Her cheeks were flushed as she looked at Souichirou. Even after all these years, every time she saw him, her heart would race and she'd blush.
Seeing this, Mo Shuying sighed.
"Now THAT'S love!"
But this wasn't the time to be envious. Mo Shuying noticed a problem.
"You? Why are you here?"
Mo Shuying spoke, directing his question at Souichirou Kuzuki.
Souichirou frowned upon hearing this. Mo Shuying was the intruder, yet he was the one being questioned.
"I live here. Why wouldn't I be here? As for you, trespassing is against the law."
Souichirou took a step forward, speaking without a hint of panic.
Even if he could tell Mo Shuying was a Heroic Spirit, he wasn't flustered. A Heroic Spirit, what's so great about that? He'd beaten more than a few Heroic Spirits in his time.
"Uh, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, is this Ryuudou Temple?"
"Of course. Are you playing a trick?"
Souichirou's gaze was already quite unfriendly, and his fists were clenched.
"This… is the real Ryuudou Temple?"
Mo Shuying frowned, turning to look outside the temple. He saw a red flashing light streak across the sky – an airplane!
There wouldn't be anything like that in a Singularity!
Mo Shuying leaped onto the outer wall of Ryuudou Temple. What greeted his eyes was a bustling city. Compared to the silence of the Singularity, even though it was nearly dawn, there were still many vehicles moving, like shimmering little snakes.
"I'm out?"
Mo Shuying was surprised. It seemed he had arrived in the real world!
Wait, how do I get back?
Mo Shuying froze. He turned to look at the place he had just emerged from: ordinary walls, ordinary floor tiles, nothing else.
He jumped back, reaching out to touch, and felt only hard wall.
I'm screwed.
He got here just fine, but he couldn't go back.
It wasn't that Mo Shuying disliked the modern world, but he still needed to grind and level up. Since Medea existed, the remaining difficult individuals might still be alive, such as a certain Streetlight King Gilgamesh, who would stab and poke you a few times if he disagreed with you. How would he fight if he ran into someone like that?
So, the outside world was too dangerous. The Singularity was safer.
"Um… Caster Mom, I can't seem to get back. Do you have a way to send me?"
Mo Shuying helplessly sought Medea's help.
Medea, who was holding Souichirou's arm, flinched when she heard Mo Shuying's address. She said angrily,
"Who are you calling 'Mom'?! Are we close?!"
Mo Shuying knew he had misspoken.
"Cough, cough, cough… That was a respectful address, Medea. I meant no harm."
Mo Shuying indicated that he wasn't afraid of not being able to win, truly.
"Hmph, sending you back isn't difficult. Just construct a pathway. But… you trespassed on my territory without a word, without any gesture. I don't even know if you're friend or foe. Why should I help you?"
Medea lifted her chin and spoke coldly. Her gentleness was reserved only for Souichirou.
"Ah, well… I didn't expect this situation, and I have no intention of being your enemy. It's my fault for being abrupt on our first meeting. Coincidentally, I have a small gift here that you might like. It's a small token, please accept it."
Mo Shuying raised his hand and retrieved a pink crystal from his storage space.
This was a drop he got after killing a monster called a Charming Demon, a strange bird that emitted pink gas.
Mo Shuying still remembered the crazy scene of two male Speed Wolves after inhaling the pink gas. My goodness… the scene was too explicit to watch.
After he killed that group of Charming Demons, he obtained several pink crystals.
[Charming Demon Crystal]
Volatilizes when heated. Inhaling its gas will unleash one's most primal desires.
As for what "most primal desires" entails, that goes without saying.
Mo Shuying carefully took out the Charming Demon Crystal. Medea initially paid no mind. As a witch from the Age of Gods, what good thing hadn't she seen?
But when she glimpsed the crystal, her knowledge as a witch from the Age of Gods instantly told her what it was and what it was used for. Her already flushed face immediately turned even redder.
"This thing… it's not bad."
Medea suppressed the excitement in her heart, feigning composure as she uttered "not bad." Then, she extended a hand, and the pink magic crystal automatically flew into her grasp.
Quickly putting the crystal away, Medea continued.
"Seeing how sensible you're being, I won't pursue your rudeness this time. Let me send you back."
As Medea spoke, she tapped her staff, and magical patterns began to form in the void.
For an ancient witch, creating a portal to another world was incredibly easy. In less than 5 seconds, a spatial rift had formed.
Mo Shuying glanced at it, recognizing the familiar ruins—it was his own space.
"Thank you."
After expressing his gratitude, Mo Shuying returned to his dimension.
Once Mo Shuying stepped through, the spatial rift slowly closed. When everything settled, only one person remained unsettled.
"Master Souichirou! Let's head back. It's getting late, so it's best to rest early."
"Mmm."
Souichirou Kuzuki, unsuspecting, followed Medea back into the temple. Then...
A sound-insulating magic array enveloped their room, and that was the end of it...
Mo Shuying returned to his familiar dimension, feeling relaxed.
Indeed, there's no place like home, no matter how humble. He inhaled the faint scent of char in the air. Ah, comforting.
It was just past midnight. Mo Shuying casually clicked to sign in, and then the System prompt sounded, informing him that he had obtained a skill called *Crushing Hand Splitter C*.
[Crushing Hand Splitter C]
By bringing both arms together, an extremely powerful pulling force is generated. If enemies are caught on both sides of the pull, they will also be stunned.
Mo Shuying's eyes lit up. With *Intentional Blast Punch C+, which he signed in for yesterday, he now had three skills from that man*, including a passive.
[Intentional Blast Punch C+]
Active: Swing a fist to release an extremely powerful punch wind. The center of the punch wind deals true damage. By expending all personal Valor, its power can be increased.
Passive: Taking damage accumulates personal Valor. When using Intentional Blast Punch, a shield of equal value is gained.
He then checked his full stats.

Unbeknownst to him, he seemed to have become quite strong.
