Chapter 488 Wake Him Up
Shen Xiu was pushed into the water by Yun Yici and struggled for a while before finally getting ashore.
Seeing that such stimulation was useless, Yun Yici had no choice but to let him change into clean clothes first, while she sat quietly by the river to think of a solution.
Now everyone is trapped in their own dreams by Jiu Meng.
She chose Shen Huaichuan first, but he turned out to be the hardest to wake up.
Hearing the rustling sounds behind her, Yun Yici couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
She didn't have time to waste with the young Shen Xiu, but she also couldn't really kill him.
If she abandons Shen Xiu now and goes back, how can she know if her next companion's dream will be even more difficult to handle than Shen Xiu's?
"What are you thinking?"
Yun Yici turned her head when she heard the question. Shen Xiu, who was speaking, had changed out of her previously soaked white clothes and into a black fitted robe.
She said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to catch the demon boar."
If it is an illusion, since illusions are influenced by the caster's will, the illusion can be broken as long as the flaw is found.
This is a dream, and the dream is influenced by Shen Huaichuan's own will.
How could he possibly believe that the dream he had created for himself was false?
For Shen Xiu, everything was real.
Shen Xiu looked surprised, then walked over and sat down next to Yun Yici.
He seemed troubled: "Tell me about what happens outside of the dream."
Yun Yici stared at him for a while: "Didn't you say you didn't believe you were asleep?"
Shen Xiu couldn't help but turn her head away from her gaze: "Before I met you, everything and everyone I experienced was vibrant."
"But you look really anxious."
"So I've decided to listen to your side of the story; I believe I can make the right judgment."
Yun Yici sighed: "I'm sorry."
"Actually, the Shen Huaichuan I'm looking for is you thousands of years in the future."
"We are traveling abroad for some reason, and we are currently in the Demon Realm of the Earth Spirit Realm."
"The demons here have undergone a strange change. There are now two demon kings. The same thing we are looking for is in the hands of the demon king called Nine Dreams."
“But we’ve only just arrived at Nine Dreams’ territory, and everyone except me is asleep.”
“I have to wake you up because I’m not sure if Jiu Meng can kill in his sleep, or if you will never wake up.”
Logically speaking, killing Shen Huaichuan's avatar in his dream would be the fastest way to wake him up.
However, the demons' personalities are unpredictable. Yun Yici couldn't bring herself to kill her companion, and she was also afraid of making things worse by doing the wrong thing, thus becoming the "knife" that Jiu Meng used to kill someone else.
As soon as Yun Yici finished speaking, he saw the eyes of the young man Shen Xiu in front of him light up.
Will I ever truly go to the Demon Realm to challenge the Demon King? What kind of person will I be then?
Yun Yici was smiling and about to speak when she realized what she was about to say, and suddenly felt as if she had been hit over the head with a club.
Shen Xiu, standing before her, was currently preoccupied with nothing more than the task of capturing the demonic boar on the mountain for five hundred spirit stones.
Little did they know that their future would be torn apart three times by the Mirror of Illumination, stripping them of their luck, eyesight, and cultivation, causing them to lose everything and ultimately become demons who could never ascend.
Shen Xiu keenly noticed Yun Yici's hesitation: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Yun Yici composed her smile: "Very good, very strong, we all trust you."
Shen Xiu shook her head: "You're lying."
"The first part is true, the last part is false."
"It seems my future is not going to be good."
Although the boy said this, there was no self-pity or lament in his words; he spoke calmly as if he were talking about someone else's fate.
Yun Yici thought for a moment, then asked him softly, "If this isn't a dream, would you like me to tell you what will happen in the future?"
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Then there's no need."
Even if you tell me, I will still make the same choice and walk the same path.
"We should go, Xiao Ci."
The young man quickly got up. Yun Yici looked up at his back and then, after a moment, she quickly got up and followed him.
"Shen...Shen Huaichuan? You're awake? When did that happen?"
The boy's childishness seemed to vanish the moment he stood up, replaced by a calm and composed demeanor.
"The last person to ask me if I wanted to know what would happen in the future was the owner of the Mirror of Reflection."
That raucous demon, with its blatant laughter, abruptly ended his life.
Fortunately, he did not regret it.
Fortunately, this time the person asking him was Yun Yici.
Yun Yici was both surprised and guilty: "I was just worried about what to do."
If this is a harmless dream, and the outside world doesn't matter, what's wrong with letting Shen Huaichuan have a carefree dream?
Shen Huaichuan turned around and sighed, "You're too soft on the people around you. This is both your weakness and your strength."
"If it weren't for a lucky accident, you could have stayed by my side for a thousand years and still not woken me up."
"At this time, I was going down the mountain for the first time. I was free from the control of the sect and carefree. I thought I was invincible and was full of joy."
“You shouldn’t pity me, or even hesitate to leave me here first.”
“Illusory beauty cannot become reality, so it is not a comfort. I should cut off my delusions as soon as possible.”
Yun Yici honestly said, "I don't know if Jiu Meng deliberately lured me to kill you in my dream. Besides, I can't take advantage of you because you have no weapon."
Although Shen Xiu deserved a beating, she didn't fight back even when she was pinned down in the water.
This is her limit.
Shen Huaichuan remained silent for a moment, then reached into his sleeve and pulled out a storage bag. From the bag, he took out the gleaming Huaichuan Sword.
"Xiao Ci, you're really easy to fool."
Yun Yici took a deep breath: "Is it too late for me to stab you twice now?"
That bastard Shen Xiu is lying through his teeth, trying to trick her into thinking he has no weapons so she can lower her guard.
If she truly harbors malicious intentions, Huai Chuan will likely resort to underhanded tactics.
"That's too late."
Shen Huaichuan smiled helplessly, but still handed Shen Xiu's most treasured spirit sword to Yun Yici.
Yun Yici, having taken the sword, was at a loss for what to do.
If I don't stab myself in the back, I'll be unable to vent my anger.
Go ahead and stab him; Shen Huaichuan in front of you is innocent.
It was Shen Huaichuan who took the initiative to offer a way out: "It's time to go find the imperial edict."
Yun Yici: ?
"If we don't go soon, we might have to form a pact soon."
Yun Yici: !!!
