Deep at night –

Dark winds howled in the stormy weather.

On a cliffside in the open wilderness –

Two small and thin figures shivered.

Six warriors held coldly shining sabers in their hands as they forced these thin and small figures near the precipice of the cliff.

A bolt of snow-white lightning flashed through the air, illuminating the faces of these two small and thin figures.
One was a boy and one was a girl, both only around 10 years of age.
They were beautiful youths wearing blue robes and little hats, just like scholarly attendants.
Their faces were filled with fear, despair, as well as… anger.

“Hehe, their master has already fallen down the cliff to his death.
Old Five, Old Six, kill these two little beasts and tonight’s plan will be considered a perfect success.
Afterwards we can return and report on our success.” The head of the six warriors coldly sneered.
“The rain came at just the right time.
All traces of us will be washed away.
It seems even the heavens themselves are helping us…”

Shua!

Cold saber light shined.

The two robust warriors diabolically grinned and started to walk towards the two youths on the cliff.

Kacha!

Bang!

Another streak of lightning tore down, suddenly tearing through the dark blue heavens like a flood dragon.

What was slightly astonishing was that this bolt of lightning was unbelievably large.
Like a vorpal sword of the gods, it illuminated the heavens and earth, making it seem like daytime for a moment.
A deafening bang erupted in the darkness, seeming as if the skies would be torn apart.
The entire world trembled in the throes of thunder, a bizarre and horrifying scene.

The two warriors who were about to attack were also scared; the sabers in their hands came to a halt.

What was going on?

On this rainy night, why would there be such lightning?

Even the leader of the warriors felt his heart race.

And just as he was about to say something…

A strange voice suddenly rang out from the heavens –

“Ahhhhhhh! How could that old swindler dig such a deep pit?”

A heart-wrenching scream rang out from up above, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Before anyone could react, a dark figure plummeted to the ground.
With a loud crash, the figure fell into a half meter tall haystack near the young boy and girl.
Bits and pieces of grass haphazardly flew outwards.

What was this?

The complexions of the warriors suddenly changed.

The six warriors immediately retreated together and raised their guards.
They took position, faintly surrounding the pile of hay.

Several seconds later –

“Holy crap, my butt is going to be bruised black and blue from this… old man, even you keep saying you’re just a bag of bones so when did you have so much spare time and energy to dig such a deep pit in your room?”

A slender and dark figure shivered as it crawled out from the thick pile of hay.

This figure was actually a strong and handsome youth.

One could see his bare arms and bare chest.
His black hair was cut short and he wore strangely-shaped pants made up of some sort of mysterious material.
He had thick eyebrows and large eyes and his lips were pulled back in a pained grimace.
The youth pushed himself up from the grass, a look of confusion etched on his face.
He looked at his surroundings even as he carefully rubbed his own waist and butt.

Twin moons hung high in the sky, their silver moonlight sprinkling down to the world.

The youth subconsciously looked up and saw the two moons in the heavens.

In that moment, his entire body froze up.

“The hell… two moons? Is this not a dream? Could that old swindler… really not have been lying to me?” The youth mumbled in shock, his mouth falling open.
He sucked in a deep breath of disbelief.
“I walked into the old man’s room… accidently fell into a pit that he dug out… and then I was really transported to another planet?”

From the moment he fell into the pit to appearing here, only several seconds had passed.

How was this possible?

He pinched his cheeks.

Mm, it did hurt a little.

This was reality.
This wasn’t a dream at all.

The youth suddenly screamed out loud and whipped his face about like a crazed lunatic.
He muttered nonsense to himself, sometimes his face filling with confusion, sometimes looking hideous, sometimes seeming excited, sometimes filled with hate, just like a madman.

This youth was Li Mu, a citizen of Earth who had been sent here by that old conman through a transmission array.

A cold breeze blew about.
The sounds of nature filled the night.

This was originally a killing scene.
But now, the atmosphere had become much more awkward and strange.

The six fierce warriors looked at each other in dismay.

For a time, they couldn’t determine just what this strange event and this strange person signified.

Everyone froze for a moment in time, just like a photo.

Then, a trembling but surprised voice broke through the tense atmosphere.

“Ah… young master, is that you? Is that really you? Young master, you crawled back up from the cliff? That’s wonderful, you… you are still alive? Wuwu… I can’t believe it, I’m so glad you’re still alive…”

The one who spoke was the young attendant boy.

The little fellow carried a bamboo backpack that was almost the same height as him, filled with all sorts of unknown things.
Then, the little boy suddenly seemed to fill up with some emotion as he rushed over to Li Mu’s side.
His face was filled with surprise and incredible excitement as he looked at Li Mu.
With just a few words, he had already begun to cry.

The little girl attendant was also startled.
Her pale white cheeks lifted up as she looked at Li Mu.
In the dark, her large and water-bright eyes filled with confusion and doubt.
“Young master, is… is that really you? You didn’t fal
