259: Chapter 57: Thousand-Year Dynasty and Great Wilderness Nomads 259: Chapter 57: Thousand-Year Dynasty and Great Wilderness Nomads “Anchoring successful!”
[You are the beloved youngest daughter of the Centenarian Duke, Princess Ping’an, from the Thousand-Year Dynasty, kidnapped by demons to the Great Wilderness, cruelly tortured and killed, transformed into a Red-Clothed Fierce Ghost.]
Huh???
Li Mumu looked at the young girl’s head she was holding in her hands, lost in thought.
This…
What’s going on?
Am I a princess again?
No, wait, what just happened?
[You slowly remember that tonight is the night of the full moon, and after you finished your cultivation and returned home, you found it empty.]
Oh right, I remember now.
Li Mumu shook her head, her mind quickly cleared up, and she began to recover her memory.
The night of the full moon is the best opportunity for Demon Cultivation, and after several days of cultivation, she definitely felt substantial changes in her body.
It wasn’t just changes in strength and speed, but also an increasingly skilled mastery over her own body.
Li Mumu had never practiced dancing as a child, and her flexibility was just a bit better than the average person’s, unable to do any splits of one hundred eighty degrees or the like.
But after just these few days of cultivation, she was able to perform a dozen low-difficulty yoga poses smoothly.
I am different from the others.
Being different makes one a demon.
The Cultivation Technique given by Sister Yaoqin was flawless, the cultivation process went smoothly, and apart from occasionally needing to take Wushi Powder to focus and enter the cultivation state, she hardly encountered any thresholds or bottlenecks.
It’s all because of the quality of the teaching materials, definitely not because I am extraordinarily talented.
One must have self-awareness.
According to Sister Zuo Yan, on the fifteenth of each month, which is the night of the full moon, the Real World opens an entrance to the Outer Dimension.
If luck is good, one might encounter an Outer Dimension particularly suitable for oneself and enter it to find one’s opportunity.
What exactly constitutes a ‘particularly suitable’ standard, Li Mumu wasn’t clear, as after that day, Sister Zuo Yan suddenly disappeared from the Mortal World, and there has been no news of her until now.
At exactly midnight, Li Mumu felt a movement in her heart, and she looked straight ahead.
She saw layers of mist descending like a curtain from the heavens above.
Three images appeared simultaneously before her three sets of eyes.
The images all depicted the same girl.
She was confronting a strange man in the dark, saying something that infuriated the young man.
Suddenly, a monster with a long tongue appeared from the darkness, wrapped it around her neck, and crushed her head in one bite.
She grabbed a wash basin, threw it with all her strength, then grabbed the girl lying on the bed, turned her head, and ran wildly out of the student dormitory.
She tightly held a pistol, pressing it under her own jaw, crying while saying something, then pulled the trigger.
“Miss, I’m sorry…”
This was the lip-reading Li Mumu deciphered from that last image.
Jiang Yinyin?
The inertia of fate?
What has she done wrong to commit suicide?
Li Mumu was puzzled.
Although she knew she must have tapped into a segment of the future, she lacked the ability to decipher prophecies.
What confused her even more was that upon returning home, everyone was gone.
What’s going on?
It was quite normal for Li Ya not to be home since the night of the full moon also held a special significance for witches, and every month at this time she would disappear for the night in her bedroom.
But why are Mu Yuming and Jiang Yinyin gone too?
“They are still here, it’s just that you can’t see them.”
Wendy calmly comforted her from the side, “The two of them, along with you, are each entangled by different dimensions, so you can’t see each other in the Real World.”
So that means we three are not on the same layer, right?
Li Mumu closed her eyes and reopened them, and it was then, observing with three heads simultaneously, that she saw Mu Yuming and Jiang Yinyin lying on the bed, sleeping uneasily.
In terms understandable to modern people, this could be explained as “layers”.
In Li Mumu’s eyes, these were layers of transparent curtains, draped like a quilt over everyone.
The two of them had different layers, and so did Li Mumu and Wendy.
There was no need to mention Li Ya.
It was really amazing!
We, a family of five, each have a distinct style!
Each person has a bright future!
What nonsense…
How could I possibly sleep well after this?
Seeing how Jiang Yinyin and her own father slept, Li Mumu knew that they must have fallen into the same kind of situation she had experienced when she first traveled through dimensions.
The only difference was that Li Mumu had now achieved cultivation success and could actively choose which Outer Dimension to enter while being awake.
But they were still dreaming.
“I wonder where they’ve gone…
can they come back safely?”
Li Mumu was curious, while Wendy was noncommittal.
“For ordinary people, a dream is just a dream, and nothing in the dream can affect the Real World.”
“I want to go in and see.”
“Enter the dream?”
Wendy raised an eyebrow, “Which side do you want to go to?”
Mu Yuming or Jiang Yinyin?
Li Mumu instinctively wanted to pick Jiang Yinyin, as she had just seen visions related to her past and future.
But then she thought, why should I be so obedient and sensible?
Why should I do whatever I’m told?
Having unknowingly seen Jiang Yinyin’s future, who could guarantee that it wasn’t a deliberate arrangement by someone behind the scenes?
Having been manipulated by her own mother once, Li Mumu was particularly sensitive to this.
So she turned her head and chose Mu Yuming’s side.
I want to see what secrets my real father is keeping from me!
As a result, she found herself abruptly thrown into this god-forsaken place.
Li Mumu looked around.
The pitch-black night sky had neither stars nor a moon; she stood in the center of a bone-covered altar, her feet in a pool of blood, holding an unfamiliar young girl’s head in her hands, as completely foreign memories began to surface in her mind.
[You were born in…]
Stop, stop, stop, my brain is already full!
“Wendy?”
Li Mumu tried calling out, but didn’t receive any response.
Clearly, they had not ended up in the same place after entering this dimension.
Without teammates nearby for protection, she suddenly felt a vulnerability she had never experienced before.
This is terrifying, where am I?
I want to go home…
The strange memories emerging in her mind involuntarily made her shiver with fear.
But they also allowed her to access the set up and worldview of this Outer Dimension.
This place was an Outer Dimension called the Great Wilderness Realm.
The exact size of the entire Great Wilderness Realm was unknown, but only two powers existed.
The Nomads living in the wilderness outside the city and the Imperial Family residing within the palace in the city.
Princess Ping’an, who had grown up in luxury and never seen beyond the palace walls, had never imagined that her first time leaving the palace would end with a demon abducting her and tormenting her to death.
