The moment “Zhu Xincheng” heard those words, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock.
In the next second, a strand of sword qi abruptly pierced through her chest!
“Zhu Xincheng” instantly shattered apart, yet did not dissipate.
Instead, she turned into wisps of green smoke that swirled through the air before slipping back into the darkness.
A moment later, a woman in a violet robe appeared.
Her voice was low and utterly enchanting.
“When did you realize it was fake?”
Ye Yu’s expression remained calm as he said softly, “That woman Zhu Xincheng is as proud as the blazing sun itself. There’s no way she’d ever show such a soft side.”
“Oh? Is that so? I wouldn’t be so sure.”
The woman raised her hand and swept out her sleeve.
A technique similar to reflections on water and flowers in a mirror suddenly appeared.
Within the image, Zhu Xincheng was leaning against “Ye Yu’s” chest, her smile impossibly sweet.
She was even whispering affectionate words to him.
She looked completely gentle and dependent.
Nothing like the woman in his memories.
Ye Yu could not help slightly raising a brow. After staring at the scene for a moment, he quietly asked, “An illusion?”
The woman immediately waved her hands dismissively.
“This isn’t some cheap illusion. I call it dream weaving.
Inside your dreams, you can obtain every person and every thing you desire.
I do not interfere in the slightest.
Everything comes from your own thoughts. So what difference is there between this and a beautiful dream?”
The way Ye Yu looked at the woman became increasingly strange.
The God Realm truly was vast enough for all kinds of bizarre things to exist.
No, more accurately, she did not seem human at all!
Rather, she was some extremely special existence.
A secret realm.
A secret realm that could run away!
It was exactly the same situation Yinghuo had encountered before.
But back then, Yinghuo had never mentioned anything about dream weaving inside secret realms.
Nor had she ever mentioned a woman like this.
Could it be that this consciousness had only recently been born?
Seeing Ye Yu remain silent, the woman softly said, “Since you broke through my dream weaving, there’s no point in keeping you here any longer. You may leave now. I’ll continue searching for my next interesting target.”
The moment she finished speaking, a white light gate appeared beside her.
Beyond it was the outside world.
Ye Yu could even see Elder Ge carrying an outrageously massive Heaven Opening Axe while desperately chasing after them.
Ye Yu curiously asked, “Why didn’t you drag him into the secret realm too? Or is your space limited?”
“Simple. I rejected him because he’s ugly.”
The woman’s voice was light and casual, yet she unknowingly dealt Elder Ge a fatal blow.
At the same time, Ye Yu’s mood improved slightly.
Being dragged into the secret realm meant he was not ugly.
And not ugly meant handsome!
Mm, you really know how to compliment people indirectly.
Even so, Ye Yu still showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he pointed toward the Zhu Xincheng inside the image.
“I’m taking her with me.”
The secret realm woman sneered coldly.
“Don’t push your luck.”
Ye Yu lightly rubbed his fingertips together and calmly said, “I’m informing you, not negotiating with you. Of course, you can refuse.
And then I’ll try seeing whether or not I can shatter this secret realm.”
The moment those words fell, the secret realm woman stopped speaking entirely and stared at Ye Yu for a very long time.
Her expression shifted repeatedly.
Ye Yu simply stood there silently.
Although he appeared perfectly calm, in reality, he was gambling.
Gambling that this woman was the consciousness born from the secret realm itself—the embodiment of the secret realm.
It sounded ridiculous.
But at the moment, he could think of no other explanation.
And if she truly was the embodiment of the secret realm, then damage to the secret realm itself would inevitably harm her as well.
That was why Ye Yu used this method to force her into compromise.
As for whether it would work, Ye Yu honestly had no idea.
Time slowly passed by.
The two merely stared at each other, neither making the first move.
In the end, the secret realm woman was the first to compromise.
She retreated half a step.
“Kid, you win. You can take this woman with you.
But thirty thousand years on this side of the river, thirty thousand years on the other side. Don’t bully a young secret realm!”
Hearing that, Ye Yu was instantly thunderstruck.
Was this secret realm seriously trying to threaten him?
“Don’t bully a young secret realm”?
Impressive.
Before Ye Yu could continue marveling at it, his figure had already appeared back within the God Realm.
Beside him was the unconscious Zhu Xincheng.
Meanwhile, the nearly transparent secret realm fled at astonishing speed, its mobility absurdly powerful.
Still, for it to compromise so easily truly exceeded Ye Yu’s expectations.
Wait.
Could she have tampered with Zhu Xincheng?
The thought made Ye Yu’s heart suddenly sink, and he immediately began checking Zhu Xincheng’s condition.
She merely seemed to still be asleep.
Of course, sleeping itself was not the issue. The real fear was that she might never wake up again.
To wake Zhu Xincheng, Ye Yu pinched her nose and shook her back and forth.
The method might have been childish, but it was surprisingly effective.
Zhu Xincheng slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Ye Yu beside her, she immediately closed them again and softly muttered,
“Stop fooling around, husband. Let me sleep a little longer.”
Those words happened to be heard by the arriving Elder Ge.
The old father instantly felt a sour ache in his heart.
He had originally been lamenting how old he had become. Even carrying the Heaven Opening Divine Axe, he still could not outrun a secret realm.
But if he did not chase after it, there was no way.
His daughter was inside.
So Elder Ge had desperately run with everything he had.
Yet the moment he arrived, before he could even steady himself, he was force-fed a massive mouthful of affection.
I...
Elder Ge put away the divine axe resting on his shoulder and prepared to leave with a lonely expression.
He intended to give the young couple some private space together.
But just as he lifted his foot, he suddenly stopped again.
Hm?
Why was he leaving?
How could he let Ye Yu advance this easily?
Ye Yu still had not fulfilled his promise of turning over a new leaf. Leaving him beside Xincheng was an extremely dangerous decision!
Elder Ge believed he had a responsibility to strictly supervise things on Xincheng’s behalf!
Thus, he abruptly turned around and shouted sternly,
“You two, separate!”
His voice was so loud that it directly startled Zhu Xincheng awake.
She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Elder Ge standing nearby.
Immediately, she frowned and complained, “Father, why are you yelling? We’re at home—”
Halfway through speaking, Zhu Xincheng suddenly froze.
She turned to look at the unfamiliar surroundings, and her expression finally changed.
“W-Where is this place? What happened to our dojo?”
Hearing this, Ye Yu immediately explained everything that had happened inside the secret realm.
He also bluntly clarified that everything there had merely been a dream scenario created by the secret realm and had not truly happened in reality.
Instantly, Zhu Xincheng’s face flushed bright red. Then her entire body turned into a streak of light as she fled the scene on the spot!
Seeing this, Ye Yu could not help slightly shaking his head.
Women really were unpredictable.
It was only your own dream. Why run away over something like that?
“You were telling the truth just now? People who enter the secret realm get a beautiful dream? A dream where they can have anything?”
Elder Ge moved closer and lowered his voice as he questioned him.
But his eyes were shining brightly.
