Chapter 394 Heaven Knows What's Going On in His Dream

After resolving the Taoyuan (Peach Blossom Spring) incident.

The Tiannü (Heavenly Maiden) Jue, still clad in the armor of the Women's Kingdom, was pushing Wei Yuan's wheelchair—

The latter's body was in extremely poor condition at the moment. The sword qi was becoming increasingly intense, causing the pain to intensify. It was like a tattered sword sheath. Every time he made a move, the sword's edge would become sharper, but at the same time, the blade would wear down the sheath, making Wei Yuan's body even more dilapidated.

Tiannü Jue pushed the wheelchair with her eyes lowered.

In a way, she was exceptionally 'well-behaved.'

Because the tall and imposing female general of the Women's Kingdom was right next to her.

This caused Jue to keep her eyes down, not daring to glance even once to the side.

If, at this moment, Kua Lin were to say with a teasing smile.

"Oh, Tiannü, you're here too."

"What a coincidence."

Then, Jue believed that she might just jump off Kunlun Mountain because of the events that would follow and the awkward situation.

Or maybe knock Wei Yuan unconscious and jump together.

'Be good, Yuan, close your eyes, and it'll be over in a second.'

'Just take a nap, and you'll be fine.'

'Let's just end it this way in this lifetime.'

'See you all in the next life.'

The social death deterrence of Qingqiu Kingdom expands.

The girl quietly glanced at Kua Lin, who seemed to sense it and looked at her with a teasing smile.

"............"

The Tiannü stiffly turned her head and stared intently at the back of Wei Yuan's neck.

You can't see me.

You can't see me...

Kua Lin chuckled slightly, retracted her gaze, and turned her attention to Wei Yuan, saying, "Yuan, I didn't expect our meeting to be like this... Oh right, I heard that you know a Tiannü. I wonder where she is now?"

??!

Tiannü Jue's eyes widened.

She asked?!

She actually asked!

The woman in red robes and black sleeves tilted her head and looked at her with a teasing smile.

Qin Yuan gasped and trembled slightly, her expression becoming serious.

Directly inquiring would likely lead to various follow-up questions. She could ask Wohu about his opinion of the Tiannü, or talk about the Tiannü's experience in the Women's Kingdom. If there was no way to retreat, she could even flip the table and tell Wei Yuan that the one behind him was the Tiannü.

This woman.

Truly a master!

As for the stimulating feeling that Jue was experiencing now, Qin Yuan felt that she could completely understand. It was like hiding a cheat sheet in your palm in front of the director of education.

You're sure the director of education has discovered the cheat sheet.

But you don't know if he'll flip your paper over in the next second and take out your cheat sheet.

Will he, or won't he, that is the question.

And facing such a difficult situation.

She still had to pretend to be seriously thinking about the exam questions without changing her expression.

It was simply an unprecedented hell-level ordeal.

While she was focused on watching the situation unfold, Qin Yuan, as an insect-type demon beast, and even the evolutionary endpoint of honey-type demon beasts, caught a glimpse of the avian girl beside her. Feng Siyu was keeping her eyes lowered, as honest as could be.

Her fingers silently pressed on her sleeve, and a miniature recording device slid out.

Qin Yuan: "............"

How many recording pens do you have?

Who did you learn from?

Wohu, do you know you have a double agent by your side?

Feng Siyu raised her head, saw Qin Yuan, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Her right hand silently made a gesture.

'Snacks, 70/30 split.'

Qin Yuan: "............"

Do you think I'm so easily bought off?

But...

Qin Yuan looked at Wohu.

And then at Jue.

She felt that this could be used as Jue's 'weapon,' such as a pre-skill for kneeling on a washboard in the future.

Qin Yuan gave a thumbs up.

'Deal.'

Zhang Ruosu was frantically winking, but Wei Yuan didn't notice. After pondering for a moment, he spread his hands and said in a relaxed tone, "This... according to the popular meme on the internet, what should I say?"

"Uh, she's in my heart?"

His tone carried a hint of jest, but it was impossible to tell whether his words were true or false.

He smoothly deflected the possibility of Kua Lin's further questioning.

Feng Siyu grumbled regretfully, saying, "So cheesy..."

Qin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Wei Yuan leaned back slightly, then changed the topic, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Kua Lin, you were there when we found the Hetu Luoshu (River Diagram and Luo River Book) stone tablet. It seems that you had already seen the future revealed by the Hetu Luoshu before that, right?"

"What was it?"

Kua Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, not answering.

Wei Yuan said slowly, "That Hetu Luoshu has problems. No matter what future you saw, don't believe it... The future is full of variables. Don't be misled by this fake Hetu Luoshu. The future it reveals is all false."

Kua Lin said, "I see."

She smiled mischievously, spread her hands, and said, "Then if I say that in the future it showed me, you didn't choose to return to the Women's Kingdom with me, would you say that's true or false?"

Wei Yuan was stumped.

He didn't know what to say.

If he said it was false, then he would return to the Women's Kingdom with Kua Lin.

If he said it was true, then he would be slapping his own face.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

Kua Lin smiled without answering.

But she didn't say what kind of future she saw from the Hetu Luoshu.

..................

This time, Zhang Ruosu brought all the people from Taoyuan to the foot of Longhu Mountain.

Then he quickly arranged for the disciples of the Daoist sect to remove the Taohua Sha (Peach Blossom Evil Qi) from their bodies.

"Now their souls still have some residual evil qi... so they will want to return to Taoyuan. When all the evil qi is removed with magic, that lingering desire should slowly fade away."

Lin Shouyi of the Shangqing Sect came to a conclusion after examining these people.

And now, the entire Longhu Mountain, from top to bottom, was in a state of extreme alert. Every disciple was dressed in Daoist robes, holding a magic sword in one hand and a talisman in the other, not daring to breathe loudly, staring intently at the tall Juling (Giant Spirit) in front of them.

After leaving Taoyuan, Kuafu's body continued to grow larger.

It was as if that peach forest was restricting him.

With each step, his body would become larger, and with each moment, he would grow taller by a foot.

By the time he arrived at Longhu Mountain, the size of this Juling's spirit was almost as tall as the entire Longhu Mountain. Only with such a figure could he be said to be able to carry mountains and chase the sun, and if he threw down his staff, it would turn into large patches of peach forest. Wei Yuan believed it.

So, it's realism...

Understood.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ruosu had a splitting headache.

He almost tore off his beard.

The old Daoist priest looked at the giant Kuafu in a daze, turned his head stiffly, and looked at Wei Yuan, saying, "...This Kuafu is too huge. Longhu Mountain probably can't accommodate him. Fellow Daoist Wei, you should find someone else..."

"This poor Daoist really can't do it."

Wei Yuan silently looked around.

The other old Daoist priests were either looking down at ants or looking up at the stars.

None of them met his gaze.

And Kuafu's Juling was also silent. At the moment, magic was being used, so ordinary people couldn't see him. The Daoist sect's choice was actually easy to understand. The major Daoist sects were all suppressing the Mountain and Sea Rifts. Now, Kuafu Juling's position had not been truly confirmed.

These Daoists didn't dare to rashly leave Kuafu in these so-called blessed lands.

Otherwise, if Kuafu went berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But they couldn't leave him alone either.

This was the most troublesome thing.

Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, thought of a method, looked up at Kuafu, was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Now I can't confirm your position, Kuafu... so I need to temporarily seal you, or even imprison you, until you prove your innocence. This has already been said in Taoyuan, and you have already agreed."

"But now, as long as you're outside, you'll become huge..."

"The Daoist sect doesn't dare to leave you here, and other places are completely unable to supervise you."

"You simply can't stay outside."

Kuafu nodded slowly, saying, "I understand."

"However, there is another way. True Spirit is, after all, True Spirit."

Wei Yuan pointed to his own brow: "You can be infinitely huge outside, but because of the nature of the True Spirit's remnants, you can also appear in a dream. I can open up a lucid dream in my mind to accommodate you."

Zhang Ruosu interrupted in astonishment, "That's impossible. It's too dangerous. Your dream is connected to your mind..."

"Once something goes wrong with the dream, what will we do?"

Wei Yuan reached out to stop the old Daoist priest, looked at Kuafu, and said:

"What do you choose?"

Kuafu Juling had a dazed and silent look in his eyes—

In the past, he had never questioned himself.

Until the stone tablet was broken.

He suddenly realized that his past was blank.

Even the fact that he was Kuafu was just a few traces left in his memory.

Whether he was the real Kuafu, and why he was guarding the Hetu Luoshu in Taoyuan.

Whether he was assigned by someone.

Or whether he had been secretly manipulated?

He couldn't really confirm it.

But in any case, since he was Kuafu, then it meant that he was originally a hero of Shenzhou. The ancient legend who once chased the great sun slowly closed his eyes, not making any resistance, and at the same time, his voice was indifferent and calm:

"There's no problem."

"But you have to know, Your Excellency... even if I only have a wisp of remnant soul left, I am still me after all."

"Along the way, I don't know if anyone has done anything to my soul."

"So even if I give up resisting and don't mean to hurt you, I may suddenly turn violent and attack you. And even you, Your Excellency, may be seriously injured or even killed if you're unprepared."

"Even so, do you still dare to accommodate me into your dream?"

The museum owner said, "A word spoken is a horse hard to chase."

He paused and said, "...My dream may be a little different from ordinary people."

These words were taken as a disguised comfort and answer.

Kuafu was stunned, then suddenly burst out laughing, his voice like thunder, saying:

"Good, good! Hahahaha, such courage and boldness are worthy of that name. Then, before I figure out what happened in the past, I will temporarily dwell in your True Spirit dream. During this time, if there is anything you need."

"Although Kuafu's strength is not strong, I am also willing to be driven!"

Kuafu laughed and took a step forward, his True Spirit turned into a stream of light and flew into Wei Yuan's brow.

Until the moment he entered the dream, he felt that Wei Yuan was taking a risk.

"He is a hero of my people."

"Very good, very good!"

Kuafu whispered contentedly.

Then he opened his eyes and saw familiar faces in Wei Yuan's dream.

His smile slowly froze.

ps: Today's first update... a buffer chapter

Yesterday's third update wasn't very rhythmic.

Scratching my head, stories like this shouldn't appear in the main text in the future. I will record them.

And then use them as a patch package for future extra chapters (bow)
