Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

"I think he has a grudge against the Empire as well," Meimei said.

"Probably just stirred up recently, this world’s Empire isn’t as active as in my world," Meluna replied.

"Is there any difference here that we’re not aware of then?"

In their conversation, Meimei and Meluna discovered that when Mengze Island was destroyed, although Meluna couldn’t remember clearly, she was roughly at the age of six or seven, just like Meimei.

"If I was mistaken, then—"

Meimei’s expression became a bit stiff.

"It doesn’t matter, you just need to serve as his release tool," Meluna said.

"What on earth are you saying?!" Meimei exclaimed.

The Meimei from another world was completely unreasonable, but after several encounters, she concluded that even if Meluna was babbling nonsense, she would make it happen and even had the power to do so.

"He’s done with me, but I want to stay by his side, so I’m going to present you as a gift, hoping he’ll agree to let me stay."

"Get your priorities straight! That’s not the main issue here!"

Meimei’s face flushed with unusual redness, "You should have gone to him sooner, and none of this would have happened."

"I thought he might be angry, so I went to many places afterwards," Meluna said.

The white-haired girl didn’t understand why Meluna didn’t rush back to apologize after realizing this, but instead wandered to many places.

After a while, she vaguely understood.

This savage had never been close to anyone else, not even forming friendships; Li Ang was the only person she cared about.

Meimei considered herself exceptionally talented and smart, so Meluna shouldn’t be any less. It was just that she hadn’t been using her mind in the right way. Thus, after interacting with Li Ang, she should have gradually understood some social customs, despite her previous obtuseness.

However, these traits hadn’t yet manifested, and after she left impulsively, she soon realized she’d gone too far, and Li Ang was bound to be angry.

But because she had no social experience, she panicked at that realization, which made her too afraid to return.

"What exactly is going on?"

Meimei felt an extreme headache; she couldn’t imagine the level of frustration Li Ang would have while interacting with this woman. Perhaps because it persisted for such a long time, and she remained the same, he became so furious eventually.

"Anyway, capturing you is all that matters," Meluna said, charging forward.

"You’re completely overthinking everything!" Meimei shouted angrily, retaliating against the attack, feeling that Meluna’s water flow was genuinely trying to entangle her.

If she were truly captured by her...

The memory of being bullied by that woman was unerasable; despite their vastly different upbringings, why was their physical uniqueness exactly the same?

The white-haired girl’s legs quivered involuntarily, causing her attacks to weaken significantly.

The two Scions of the Tides were locked in combat. On Mengze Island, where the Water Element was abundant to the utmost, their two Torrential Sword Realms quickly unleashed a torrential downpour in the natural world, centered at their location, causing water levels to rise continuously, swallowing up old streams and rivers.

...

Li Ang left the site of the intense fluctuations of the Water Elemental Spirit behind, his steps never faltering.

Upon hearing Meluna mention "another me," he was momentarily shocked.

But only for a moment.

It didn’t take much effort to comprehend; everything became clear.

Parallel worlds; they were visitors from Nebis’ parallel world.

Even if there might be some minor differences among them, this setting essentially covered the similarities between the two Melunas.

Identical appearance, same voice, same heritage; their hair color differences were the only distinction. Even in the same world, Magic Power can have an impact on outward appearance, making this detail irrelevant.

They were undoubtedly the same person from different worlds.

Moreover, their dialogue showed that they had a more transcendent perspective when dealing with this Nebis. This immediately explained Meimei’s "pessimism."

She was not pessimistic; she genuinely had seen and experienced it.

Li Ang himself thought that if he hadn’t happened to be on Satus Island and subsequently went to Spark Port, with the Empire possessing the power of the Annihilation Star Soul to forcibly blockade the Ignis Sky Realm, taking the Order Sky Knight Corps by surprise, there would likely have been a series of disasters.

At least Meimei had witnessed the calamities brought by the Empire as they attacked Mengze Island, a popular tourist destination, turning it into scorched earth for the Star Soul of the Creation Tree.

Apart from such memories, Meimei felt Li Ang had another special identity.

In conclusion, their identity as "parallel world visitors" sounded absurd, yet it was not unbelievable.

Li Ang himself was in a peculiar situation; he was a Transmigrator with a cheat system, in an Otherworld with Extraordinary abilities. To completely reject the possibility of crossing parallel worlds would actually be more absurd.

However, specific circumstances raised questions—how did they traverse parallel worlds? Was their place of origin also this exactly the same Nebis? Could one travel from here back to their world? Why had they come here? Why did they seem to know Li Ang?

Particularly the last question; although Li Ang was utterly fed up with Meluna’s issues, he couldn’t help but wonder if his encounter with Meluna was predestined.

Once the concept of "parallel world visitors" became clear, he started connecting some of Meimei’s previous reactions and words in his mind.
