Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1242 - 1132: Lin Yi Returns to the Modern Era (Part 2)

This way, time can be utilized to the fullest.

After all, Xiao Zihan is also aware of the problems Lin Yi is currently facing.

Previously, Lin Yi had already explained to Xiao Zihan that going back and forth requires a certain amount of energy, which is difficult to obtain.

If it weren’t for completely subduing Zhao Country and Yan Country this time, it would be very difficult for him to return even once.

Especially since a large amount of system energy was consumed last time when he brought Xiao Zihan and her mother over.

If it weren’t for the complete subjugation of Yan Country and Zhao Country this time, and the fact that Xiao Zihan recently developed many modern things that have advanced societal development, Lin Yi would still be worried about how to acquire system energy.

Perhaps he would be considering whether to attack some smaller countries again.

"Alright, I’m leaving now. For safety’s sake, stay in my palace and don’t go anywhere.

I’ve placed many things here; look over there, there, and there."

As Lin Yi finished speaking, his finger began pointing at numerous items within the palace.

When his finger pointed over there, Xiao Zihan followed his gaze.

Seeing the things placed there, Xiao Zihan smiled helplessly and shook her head.

There were all sorts of advanced weapons placed there.

Moreover, according to Lin Yi’s setup, as soon as Xiao Zihan activated the mechanism, the place would instantaneously seal off and transform into a very sturdy military fortress.

It would be no exaggeration to say that even if an army charged in from outside, they would be helpless against her.

Besides weapons, various supplies were placed here as well.

No exaggeration, even if this room was sealed, she could absolutely live here for ten or even eight years without any problems.

Seeing Xiao Zihan’s expression, Lin Yi laughed and shook his head.

Who knows if the system might malfunction?

He couldn’t be sure; it was all an unknown.

To be prepared and safe, Lin Yi made these arrangements.

Especially seeing Xiaoluo Ning playing on the bed, Lin Yi felt a softness in his heart.

After kissing the faces of Xiao Zihan and Luo Ning, Lin Yi exhaled deeply, took a deep breath, and activated the system in his mind:

"System, transport me back to the 21st century now."

With Lin Yi’s voice, the system in his mind instantly responded:

[Detected master’s wish to be transported back to the 21st century, would you like to start the transmission immediately?]

"Start transmission immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yi’s body transformed into a beam of white light and vanished before Xiao Zihan.

This scene left Xiao Zihan standing there, staring at the empty space in front of her, reaching out instinctively to grasp but only catching loneliness.

In that moment, it felt as though something within Xiao Zihan’s heart had suddenly been extracted, leaving her somewhat dazed.

No wonder Xiao Zihan reacted this way, the scene was truly shocking.

Although Xiao Zihan had been through such experiences before, as Lin Yi had brought her from the 21st century here.

Everything Lin Yi is going through now, Xiao Zihan has been through before.

But witnessing Lin Yi disappear before her eyes was something completely new for Xiao Zihan.

This feeling was different; previously, Lin Yi brought her with him here.

She was a full participant, but now she was merely an observer.

This made it difficult for Xiao Zihan to calm down quickly.

Given her past experiences, if it were anyone else, they might have been scared out of their wits.

Engaged in conversation with Lin Yi just now, Xiao Zihan didn’t feel much, but as soon as Lin Yi left, she felt as if her life had suddenly been emptied.

Everything felt empty all at once.

Luckily, Xiaoluo Ning approached her first.

"Mommy, Mommy, hug."

Xiaoluo Ning’s voice pulled Xiao Zihan’s emotions back instantly.

The sense of emptiness inside her slowly faded away.

Indeed, her beloved daughter was still with her, she wasn’t alone in this unfamiliar country and time.

Heaven knows what Xiao Zihan would have become if Luo Ning were not present when Lin Yi left.

She quickly embraced Xiaoluo Ning, kissing her cheek, her face engulfed by maternal love.

Despite being hugged tightly, Xiaoluo Ning kept her gaze fixed on the spot where her father disappeared.

Her little hand instinctively reached out to grab at the air.

Though she was young, not yet understanding, she was curious why her father, who was just there, suddenly vanished?

Seeing this, Xiao Zihan kissed her little cheek:

"Good baby, Daddy went to work and will be back soon.

Come on, let’s play for a while."

The little one, under her mother’s loving influence, soon forgot about Daddy and giggled with her.

In the palace now, it was just the mother and daughter.

Thinking it over, for safety, Xiao Zihan decided to press Lin Yi’s defense button.

Instantly, various defense systems switched on, the room turned into an incredibly sturdy fortress.

These defense systems were specially made by Lin Yi, so they wouldn’t show outside; externally, it seemed unchanged.

Outside, guards continued patrolling, and palace maids and eunuchs waited for orders.

Though Luo Ning’s presence steadied Xiao Zihan somewhat, she still felt time crawl by slowly, each minute stretching longer.

While playing, Xiao Zihan would often lapse into a daze.

Though a decisive woman ruling Dayou, in Lin Yi’s temporary absence, she turned into a small woman.

Her current state would astonish her subordinates, it was unlike the Xiao Zihan they knew!

In this atmosphere, time steadily ticked by, roughly an hour passed.

Just then, as Xiao Zihan frequently glanced outside.

As she checked her wristwatch more often.

Suddenly, the palace door creaked open.

This sound startled Xiao Zihan playing with Luo Ning:

"Without my summons, no one may enter."

Instantly, she exclaimed and admonished those outside.

Why this tension now puzzled even her.

Thinking it was surely palace staff coming to report, her rebuke would send them away.

But, unexpectedly, after her fierce shout, the door slowly opened from the outside.
