Inside the Blazing Sun Sect.
After hurriedly returning, Zhu Xincheng immediately locked herself inside the main hall and even draped a cloak over her head.
The reason was simple.
She was too embarrassed to face anyone.
And all of this began two months ago.
At that time, Zhu Xincheng had just awakened from the dream realm.
The very first thing she did was tell Elder Ge that she wanted to become Dao companions with Ye Yu.
Although the old bastard was usually unreliable,
as long as it was something she truly wanted, he would do everything in his power to obtain it for her.
So that very same day, Elder Ge left the Blazing Sun Sect.
Afterward, Zhu Xincheng dealt with Wu Zhen and rescued Xiao Cui!
Originally, her plan had been to first kill Pang Bobing and Hua Junshuang to avenge her mother.
But the two of them were far too skilled at hiding themselves.
Despite paying an enormous price to search for them, Zhu Xincheng could not find the slightest clue.
So she decided to find Ye Yu first.
After all, in the “previous life,” it had also been Ye Yu who encountered Hua Junshuang first.
Since that was the case, she might as well let things follow their natural course!
The moment that thought appeared, Zhu Xincheng immediately began taking action.
Thus began her journey to find Ye Yu.
Not even a million li away from the Blazing Sun Sect, she passed by a cliff.
And for some inexplicable reason, Zhu Xincheng suddenly stopped.
Then she felt her soul violently tremble as an intense wave of dizziness struck her!
Fortunately, Zhu Xincheng’s cultivation foundation was stable and her state of mind calm, allowing her to steady her soul almost immediately.
Yet in the blink of an eye, mist suddenly appeared and swallowed everything.
At that moment, Zhu Xincheng had already clearly realized something was wrong.
But when Ye Yu emerged from the mist and took hold of her right hand, everything changed.
All of Zhu Xincheng’s defenses completely collapsed.
The two walked out of the mist together, confessing their feelings to one another before naturally becoming a couple.
After that, they became Dao companions and treated each other with mutual respect and affection.
Everything was beautiful.
And just like that, a thousand years passed.
Throughout all those years, Zhu Xincheng had felt incredibly happy.
Yet during very rare moments, things would also feel strangely unreal.
Because the Ye Yu beside her was almost too perfect to be real.
Whatever Zhu Xincheng thought of, he would do.
The feeling was almost like...
a separate incarnation that completely understood her heart!
Yes, that was it. A separate incarnation of herself.
Nothing like a living member of the God Clan at all!
Whenever that thought surfaced, Zhu Xincheng would suffer splitting headaches.
As time passed, she eventually stopped dwelling on it so much.
And now, with Ye Yu and Elder Ge appearing one after another,
and after hearing those words from them,
Zhu Xincheng felt as though she was about to collapse entirely.
So the thousand years she had experienced...
had all been nothing more than her dreaming and entertaining herself alone.
Even after leaving the secret realm, she still had not realized the truth and had directly called Ye Yu “husband.”
T-That was way too forward, wasn’t it?
And Ye Yu was impossible too. Why had he not denied it?
Could it be...
that he had finally understood?
That he finally realized how she felt?
The moment that thought appeared, it took root like a growing tree and rapidly flourished.
Zhu Xincheng slowly lowered the cloak, revealing her little head.
“Sect Master, would you like some tea?”
Xiao Cui walked over from the side, carrying a cup of divine tea in her hands.
Zhu Xincheng jumped in fright and frantically waved her hands.
“I don’t want any—wait, why are you here?”
“This servant has always been here. I was organizing materials in the hall when I saw you come back with a cloak over your head.
I didn’t know what it meant, so I didn’t dare disturb you.”
Xiao Cui desperately maintained control of her expression to stop herself from laughing.
After following Zhu Xincheng for nearly ten million years, this was the first time she had ever seen her mistress like this.
She really could not hold it in anymore!
What a masterpiece—covering your head with a cloak!
Zhu Xincheng’s face instantly darkened. Just as she was about to throw off the cloak, she suddenly heard Ye Yu’s voice coming from outside.
“Xiao Cui, has your Divine Alliance leader returned yet?”
The moment she heard that sentence, Zhu Xincheng’s heart trembled violently, and she hurriedly pulled the cloak tighter over her head again.
As though only that could provide her with even the slightest sense of safety.
“So it’s Lord Ye. As for our Sect Master...”
Xiao Cui deliberately paused midway through speaking and turned toward Zhu Xincheng, seemingly asking for her opinion.
Yet her eyes were filled with teasing amusement.
Zhu Xincheng herself was deeply conflicted over the matter.
She did not know whether she should tell Ye Yu she was here.
And even if she did—
what exactly was she supposed to say once he came in?
Of course, the problem did not trouble Zhu Xincheng for very long.
Because Ye Yu had already pushed open the doors and entered, his gaze instantly locking onto Zhu Xincheng.
She froze on the spot, as though struck by a body immobilization technique.
At that moment, Xiao Cui very tactfully slipped away from the corner of the room.
She even thoughtfully shut the doors behind her.
She truly understood the situation perfectly!
Very quickly, only the two of them remained inside the hall.
Zhu Xincheng was so nervous she could barely breathe and had no idea what to say.
Ye Yu, meanwhile, appeared extremely calm.
There was no helping it. After experiencing enough situations like this, handling them had become as easy as reaching into one’s pocket.
Still the same old three-step routine!
First, use the parallel worlds theory to draw her in.
Then explain the scenes he had seen inside the secret realm.
And finally, finish with the killing blow!
Ye Yu walked over to Zhu Xincheng and softly asked,
“Do you like me?”
Direct. Aggressive. Leaving absolutely no room for retreat!
Zhu Xincheng’s mind went completely blank as she nodded with all her strength.
Ye Yu gently pulled her into his embrace, and a strange thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Did this count as helping Zhu Xincheng fulfill her dream?
The next day.
Elder Ge returned to the Blazing Sun Sect looking rather disheveled.
After hearing Ye Yu’s explanation yesterday, he had immediately begun chasing after the secret realm without stopping for even a moment.
He desperately wanted the secret realm to give him a dream as well.
But sadly, no matter how hard he tried, Elder Ge simply could not catch up to it.
Which meant this dream was destined never to come true!
And when people realize their dreams can never become reality, they return to reality itself!
Elder Ge was no exception.
After returning to the Blazing Sun Sect, he wanted to check on his precious eldest daughter.
Yet the main hall was completely empty.
That’s not right. Zhu Xincheng was usually here all the time!
Could it be she never came back?
The thought instantly made Elder Ge’s heart sink. Just as he was about to head out searching for her, he saw Zhu Xincheng walking out from a blessed grotto heaven, her face completely flushed red.
Elder Ge hurried over and immediately asked whether she was alright.
Whether the secret realm had left behind any side effects.
Zhu Xincheng shook her head.
Elder Ge glanced around before subconsciously asking,
“Where’s that brat Ye Yu? Why don’t I see him?”
Zhu Xincheng instinctively looked toward the blessed grotto heaven she had just emerged from.
That tiny movement was instantly caught by Elder Ge.
His entire body froze solid!
Oh no!
He had only been gone for a single day, and his home had already been stolen!
Ye Yu, I seriously suspect that whole story about the secret realm giving people beautiful dreams was a trap!
A trap specifically designed to lure me away!
