What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

Seeing Shen Kangren’s deranged state and the Divine Lord–realm fluctuations rolling off him, Xie Buyu didn’t tangle with him—she decisively turned and left.

She knew very well that this man was a cockroach that wouldn’t die.

She was here for the old dog Gou Langtu. There was no need to waste time on that mass of flesh.

What Xie Buyu never expected was how tenacious Shen Kangren was.

It took seven or eight days before she finally shook him off.

Later, Xie Buyu risked returning to Baixuan Mountain to see whether the old dog Gou Langtu had left any traces.

Very soon, she guessed that, most likely, the old dog and Bai Shuang and the others had already been devoured by Shen Kangren.

The scene was clean—there wasn’t even a drop of blood—but the divine artifacts scattered in the corners were proof enough.

Thinking back to how deep Shen Kangren’s “poisoning” looked, it was very likely a sequela from devouring the Blackblood Serpent God.

The only thing she couldn’t figure out was why that bastard kept chasing her.

A madman.

Now that the old dog Gou Langtu was dead, one matter of the heart was settled.

The only thing left was to think about where to look for Ye Yu.

Xie Buyu really wanted to ask Hong Zhencheng whether he had found him.

Then she remembered she didn’t have his Communication Stone.

Ah—careless.

Back when she sent Hong Zhencheng to meet Ye Yu, she should have made sure to get his Communication Stone.

Being this passive now was a headache.

Just as Xie Buyu was stewing in frustration, a message arrived from Elder Wan Sun of the Immeasurable Hall: a Communication Stone ping.

He claimed something major had happened in the Divine Alliance and that he had to report to the Alliance Lord in person, asking for Xie Buyu’s location.

Xie Buyu didn’t think much of it and gave her current position.

After the call ended,

Xie Buyu felt a stab of doubt.

Something was off. Her master’s son was already dead—what “major event” could still be happening in the Divine Alliance?

And it had to be reported face-to-face?

What was going on?

Half an hour later, Elder Wan Sun appeared before Xie Buyu.

She asked him what this “major event” actually was.

Wan Sun said nothing—he just laughed and laughed.

Then his skin turned bluish-purple.

Dense black lines spread over both his arms.

Seeing this, Xie Buyu’s heart lurched.

Wasn’t this exactly the state of the Flesh and Blood Heretic God Shen Kangren?

Sure enough, in the next instant, Wan Sun’s figure and features warped.

Shen Kangren emerged.

“Hall Master Xie, I searched so hard to find you!

I exterminated the entire Immeasurable Hall just to get here.

Promise me—don’t run this time, all right?

Enter my body and gain immortality.”

Hearing that lunatic’s ravings, Xie Buyu’s brows knit tight.

She had no doubt he wasn’t joking.

Showing up in Wan Sun’s guise was proof enough that everything he said was true.

What she hadn’t imagined was that Shen Kangren would be so utterly depraved as to slaughter the Immeasurable Hall to the last.

Furious, she raised the Xuanba Heaven-Devouring Axe to cleave him in two.

But facts proved that anger couldn’t make up for a gap in strength.

Add to that the near-undying body of the Flesh and Blood Demon God Shen Kangren,

and after holding out for a full hour, Xie Buyu was defeated on the spot.

But she wasn’t going to let herself be taken.

Before she saw Ye Yu, Xie Buyu had no intention of dying.

Which led to the scene now.

The divine power in Xie Buyu’s body was nearly exhausted.

Up to this moment, Shen Kangren had been hunting her for days on end.

She truly couldn’t hold out much longer.

During this time, Xie Buyu had even asked Shen Kangren,

“We have no feud—why are you so intent on coming after me?

What are you after?”

Shen Kangren’s answer left Xie Buyu speechless on the spot.

“Since you went to Baixuan Mountain to look for the Blackblood Serpent God Tong Fang, that means you’re either her friend or her enemy. If you’re a friend, you might know how to cure the serpent poison in her body.

If you’re an enemy, even better. You’ve fought each other so long and you’re not poisoned—so you must have a unique method.

Either way, I believe devouring you will surely benefit my body.”

Honestly, there’s no one else who could say something like that.

How twisted is your brain circuit?

By now, Xie Buyu had only one thought.

Pray she could shake off Shen Kangren’s pursuit,

then find Ye Yu and step into the Divine Lord realm—and come back to kill him.

But praying was useless.

With a waft of stench, Shen Kangren’s voice followed.

“Found you, Hall Master Xie.”

Xie Buyu’s heart jolted. She was about to turn and run, but it was too late.

Shen Kangren’s flesh had already wrapped the area tight.

The rich, rotten reek rolling off that black flesh could almost make a person faint.

Xie Buyu tried to swing the Xuanba Heaven-Devouring Axe to hack a path, but the divine power inside her was spent—she could barely lift the artifact, let alone use it.

Watching the surrounding flesh spread in like a tide,

Xie Buyu showed a wry smile.

Was she fated never to see Ye Yu again?

Just then, a brilliant glow burst from the ground.

Seeing this, even Shen Kangren couldn’t help widening his eyes; instinctively, he halted the flesh’s advance.

A teleportation array?

Who was arriving now?

Could Xie Buyu have called in help?

Within the light, a figure slowly took shape.

It was none other than Ye Yu.

He had barely stepped out of the teleportation array when the environment made his stomach churn.

Rotting flesh like soggy sludge.

Wait... this was—

Ye Yu looked up. Shen Kangren hovered in the air.

“It’s you.”

Before the words had even fallen, Shen Kangren’s figure vanished on the spot—taking the surrounding flesh with him.

If not for the lingering reek of corruption and blood, Ye Yu might have thought he was seeing things.

One had to admit: a Divine Lord–realm expert’s escape speed was truly something.

But why was this guy here?

Before Ye Yu could think it through, a sudden warmth pressed against his back.

Someone hugged him from behind.

“I’m... not dreaming, am I?”

Seeing that it was Xie Buyu, Ye Yu’s gaze softened all at once. He said gently, “You’re not dreaming. We’ve met again.”

Xie Buyu didn’t respond further—she had already fainted.

Days of pursuit had pushed her to the limit.

Now that she’d seen Ye Yu and let her guard down, her body gave out naturally.

Elsewhere,

the Flesh and Blood Heretic God Shen Kangren had already bolted a million li away.

He immediately drew all the flesh back into his body,

then buried himself underground, not even daring to breathe loud.

It was him. No mistake—it was him. That man.
