Chapter 1: Departure
Luo Xi never said that only Night Star Lan could be teleported alone.
As the Source of White, she had plenty of spare energy to support more people zipping through time and space!
After asking around, Night Lan discovered she could bring the whole theater group along!
“What the heck! I was seriously worried for no reason. I thought this was going to be a solo adventure in another world! If I had to wander around there alone for ages, that would be way too lonely.”
Night Lan had no idea when she would manage to find the Group Leader and Kuro.
It might take a long, long time.
During that time, Night Star Lan wouldn’t be able to snuggle with her familiar friends and would only have to snuggle with another version of herself. Whatever the case, it’s still a bit lonely.
Gone are the days when she could shake off loneliness all on her own.
Friends are a must-have!
If she brought the theater members along, Night Star Lan would feel much more at ease, knowing she wouldn’t be left hanging in helpless moments.
With their company, Night Star Lan could unleash her courage to the max!
Now, the theater members were clustered together, all gazing at the Audience Performer on stage, who had already given them the gist of the situation.
The Fraudster couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling pretty good about it all.
“So, I can even go looking for the missing Group Leader? I thought I was only good for conning the audience on stage!”
The Gentleman patted the Fraudster on the shoulder.
“Don’t say that, Fraudster! Whether on or off the stage, you’re a very talented person; putting yourself down isn’t a good look.”
“No need to be so serious, Gentleman. I vaguely remember you having a bit of a sense of humor.”
“Sorry, it’s just a habit.”
Kong Yu Bai and the others were also super happy.
Rather than wait for Night Star Lan to come back from her adventure, why not join her in the fun?
If given the choice, they definitely didn’t want to stew in their worries while waiting.
But thankfully, this time they could actually accompany Night Star Lan through this rough patch.
Mo Rabbit was practically bouncing off the walls.
They said they were heading to another world, and honestly, that sounds way more interesting than a parallel world!
In a parallel world, the challenge would probably be much lower.
After all, they could rely on some known info—only a few details would be different.
There wouldn’t be any unknown dangers or opportunities; they’d just need to track down Kuro and the Group Leader.
But an unfamiliar otherworld? Now that’s something else entirely!
That promised the unknown and unexpected adventures.
There could be powerful enemies lurking and plenty of fun to be had.
Even if the Rising Sun Theater landed in that world with unmatched strength, it might not be so invincible after all.
It all depends on how outlandish that world’s power dynamic is.
Low magic or high martial arts? Who knows until you’ve been there!
Mo Rabbit’s heart was bursting with anticipation, like a sailor about to explore a new continent.
If she gets persecuted, so be it.
As long as she can be part of this, it’s totally worth it!
A total win!
Of course, as the theater’s strategist, she wouldn’t let anyone see her overly excited side. She remained still and quiet, wearing a subtle smile that gave off a serious vibe.
That is, unless you ignore that she looks like a loli.
Night Lan gave Mo Rabbit, who appeared very calm, a glance and asked Luo Xi beside her.
“Luo Xi, what do you think Mo Rabbit is thinking right now?”
“She’s really looking forward to finding fun in another world; her happiness is at its peak, but she’s just hiding her feelings on the surface.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Rabbit, sitting not too far away, froze, her mouth twitching slightly.
Oops! Someone forgot that the Source of White could read minds.
The kicker? She was totally compliant with Night Lan.
With such an ace assistant, even if Night Lan was a bit clueless, she could still handle anyone!
All strategies have no effect against absolute power!
Sad.
“Eh~ I see! I thought she wasn’t happy at all. She’s quite good at pretending.”
Night Lan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
She figured as much.
Mo Rabbit loved fun, so naturally, she’d be excited about what’s next; she just kept her happiness under wraps.
Looks like even without prompting, she’d be more than willing to play the role of a sidekick.
Night Star Lan didn’t want to expend too much energy gathering information and intelligence.
So, she figured it’d be best to leave that all to Mo Rabbit, who excelled in this area.
Searching for the Group Leader and Kuro probably wouldn’t wrap up quickly.
Since Night Star Lan didn’t have overwhelming power, she wouldn’t just charge in with a fight.
Best to take it step by step!
Just then, a Ghost Girl popped up and clung tightly to Night Lan’s back.
“Are you taking Eypar with you this time? An otherworld adventure sounds awesome! I can’t wait to explore and prank the locals!”
Night Lan pulled Eypar off her back, rubbing her face in exasperation.
“Papaya Ghost, don’t drag me into your mess! I might not be invincible over there, and if I tick off the wrong person, you’ll be waiting for the ashes to settle.”
The only reason she was taking Eypar was due to their special relationship.
If that Ghost Girl were apart from her for too long, she’d totally start vanishing!
Last time, she barely survived thanks to Kong Yu Bai’s help.
Now that Kong Yu Bai was headed to another world, and so was Night Star Lan, the flow of time likely wouldn’t just freeze.
If she didn’t take that Ghost Girl along, she’d probably deflate like a balloon until she was completely gone.
How tragic.
While Night Star Lan could wish for Eypar’s revival, she didn’t want anyone to have that experience of disappearing completely.
At that moment, Night Star walked through the Theater Door.
She had informed Bai Yu and the others about their upcoming destination and notified the leader of Yun Chang City and the capital’s Leader.
Now, even if the Rising Sun Theater was gone for a while, they’d be mentally prepared.
It could be a few days, a week, or even a month. Maybe longer!
Everything was a mystery in this unfamiliar world.
If nothing else, they could extend the Rising Sun Theater’s performance into the other world.
Who knows if that world would even appreciate such a show?
While searching for the Group Leader, trying a few performances wouldn’t hurt.
Just in time, all the theater members were present.
Now everyone was ready.
Night Star Lan looked at Luo Xi.
“Let’s get started, Luo Xi. Wait for me to come back.”
As the Source of White, Luo Xi couldn’t be in the same time space as Kuro.
If she went to Kuro’s side, it would surely cause a major upheaval and might even spell disaster for that world.
No matter what, Night Star Lan wasn’t going to drag innocent people into trouble.
So, Luo Xi could only wait here.
“Mm, I’ll be waiting for you to return.”
Luo Xi extended a hand, and the power of time and space surged forth.
Being the creator of all stars, she naturally wielded nearly omnipotent power!
“Time and space, commence.”
A flash of white light.
The entire Rising Sun Theater vanished without a trace.
Luo Xi transported all the theater members, along with the entire theater, to another dimension.
Only Luo Xi remained, standing in the void.
“Wishing you all the best of luck.”
