What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

Zong Shangbang ignored the pain on his face and immediately struggled to his feet. He hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, s-sorry, I was too nervous just now. Actually, I... I wanted to—"

Before he could finish, Luo Xue raised her hand to stop him.

"Wait, Senior Brother, don’t speak yet. Let me speak first, alright? I’ve always regarded you as my own older brother. Do you understand?"

An older brother, not a lover.

The words sounded similar, but their meanings were worlds apart.

Anyone capable of stepping into the God Realm could not possibly be a fool.

Naturally, Zong Shangbang understood Luo Xue’s implication.

It wasn’t that he had never considered this possibility.

But when the rejection truly came, he still could not accept it for a moment.

The crushed flowers in his hands seemed to be mocking his incompetence.

Zong Shangbang stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do or say.

A heavy sense of defeat surged through his heart.

He lowered his head slightly, reverting once more to his former timid and cowardly appearance.

At that moment, Ye Yu’s figure suddenly appeared, casually draping one arm around his shoulder.

In a deliberately relaxed tone, he said, "Old Zong, this is the Luo Xue you always talk about, the one you treat as your own little sister?"

This brief sentence instantly changed the expressions of both Luo Xue and Zong Shangbang.

The former was filled with disbelief.

Women’s emotions were ultimately far more delicate than men’s.

After three hundred thousand years together, Luo Xue had naturally sensed Zong Shangbang’s secret affection.

It was just that she felt nothing for him, so she deliberately pretended not to notice.

Today, seeing that Zong Shangbang was about to confess on the spot,

She had no choice but to give him the good-brother card first, hoping he would stop in time and not expect too much.

But this man’s words now left her utterly confused.

Wait... could it be that Zong Shangbang truly regarded her as a sibling, not as a romantic interest?

A trace of frustration arose in Luo Xue’s heart.

Women were like this.

You could like me, but I didn’t necessarily have to like you. I could reject you.

But if one day you suddenly stopped liking me, I would subconsciously question whether my charm had diminished.

It would even make me uncomfortable.

Yes, some women were exactly this contradictory.

They could choose not to like you, but you were not allowed to stop liking them.

Meanwhile, Zong Shangbang looked at Ye Yu with gratitude written all over his face.

He knew very well that Ye Yu’s words were, in fact, helping him out of the predicament.

With a single phrase—little sister—he had perfectly pulled the situation back.

Now everything that happened today could be treated as a gift from an older brother to his younger sister,

Instead of the awkward moment of a failed confession.

Brilliant!

Zong Shangbang steadied himself and quickly introduced, "That’s right, this is the junior sister I often mention to you, Luo Xue. I’ve always treated her as my own little sister."

"Junior Sister, this is my Daoist friend, Ye Yu. He’s a great guy!"

After speaking, Zong Shangbang cast Ye Yu a grateful glance.

Ye Yu accepted it calmly.

Strictly speaking, Ye Yu did not need to appear just now. He could have remained atop the mountain and watched the situation unfold, or simply turned and left.

After all, once Luo Xue said the words older brother, Zong Shangbang’s dream was already doomed to fail.

Under those circumstances, staying would merely waste time.

But Ye Yu did not leave.

He softened.

To prevent Zong Shangbang from losing too miserably, he resolutely stepped in to give him a way out.

Of course, there was also a desire to stand up for him.

As a master of the battlefield of romance, Ye Yu had seen all kinds of people.

Aside from his own wives, he had also encountered manipulative women.

Whether it was handing out a good-person card or redefining someone as a brother, once such rhetoric appeared, it was almost certain.

If you didn’t like someone, then just say you didn’t like them. Why wrap it in another layer of relationship?

Was it to leave room for the other person to hold onto hope?

Or to conveniently redefine the relationship at any time and control the rhythm between the two?

As someone who grew stronger when facing such tactics, Ye Yu truly disliked this type of person.

So merely helping Zong Shangbang save face was not enough.

He wanted to help him strike back once as well.

Thus, he pressed a hand on Zong Shangbang’s shoulder and shook his head with a complicated expression.

Then he turned and left without giving Luo Xue any chance to speak.

Even when Zong Shangbang called out to him, it was useless.

Just as the two were wondering what Ye Yu meant by that,

Zong Shangbang suddenly felt a resonance. He took out his communication stone from his storage and infused it with divine power.

The next second, Ye Yu’s voice rang out.

"Old Zong, to be honest, you’re really not a good friend. You said you’d introduce me to a stunning junior sister, even promised to help set us up as Daoist partners. I was full of anticipation. But after seeing her in person, I’m very disappointed."

"Her looks... sigh."

That single sigh carried an indescribable melancholy.

When Luo Xue heard this, her face turned green.

From childhood until now, she had never received such an evaluation regarding her appearance.

Wait—had she really become ugly?

Luo Xue’s mentality exploded. She even began doubting herself.

Meanwhile, Zong Shangbang blinked in confusion.

What was this?

This part wasn’t in the plan!

No, to be precise, Ye Yu had never told him what the contingency plan was after failure.

So he had no idea what would happen next.

He had thought Ye Yu’s silence meant the end.

But it turned out to be just a cooldown between skills.

Just as Zong Shangbang was about to turn off the communication stone, Ye Yu’s voice sounded again.

"Oh right, remember this. Whatever we said between us, you mustn’t tell your junior sister. Otherwise she’ll definitely feel hurt."

"Being ugly and feeling sad—that’s just too tragic."

"And today’s incident ends here. If next time you introduce me to such an ugly goddess again, we’re done as brothers!"

"The petal array was completely wasted. What a pity!"

The communication stone gradually lost its glow, indicating that Ye Yu had ended the transmission.

The next instant, Luo Xue grabbed Zong Shangbang by the collar and shouted angrily, "Where did that brat go just now? Call him back here!"

Zong Shangbang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Junior Sister, calm down!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Yu smiled faintly and turned to search for his next suitable target.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang out.
