Hearing what she said annoyed me; it seems they had planned Wen Heng's return long ago.

If Ye Chen hadn't reached out and grabbed my arm to stop me, I really wanted to punch her in the face and give her a good beating.

Regaining my senses, I loosened my clenched fist and whispered a cold laugh in her ear, "You're pathetic..."

Ye Ling'er stared at me with a puzzled look: "What did you say?"

"I say, your body, neither male nor female, is truly pathetic!" My blunt words pierced her heart like a needle, provoking her to glare at me with a chilling aura.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ye Chen grabbed me and quickly left, disappearing from Ye Ling'er's sight.

"Why are you pulling me like that?" I snapped at Ye Chen, clearly annoyed, after we left the bar.

"You're just a mortal; going against her is like throwing an egg against a rock. I just don't want you to die so easily at her hands; that would be such a pity," Ye Chen teased with a look of regret.

I rolled my eyes at him, annoyed: "Coward, this is the first time I've seen a wisp of your own remnant soul throw your main soul so far away in such a sorry state. Are you just going to let your incomplete soul bully you like this?"

But Ye Chen revealed a meaningful smile: "She's just a pawn of mine. Let her be arrogant for a few days."

I squinted at Ye Chen, whose smiling eyes seemed to no longer conceal their endless scheming and ruthlessness, making him even more chilling than Ye Ling'er.

Perhaps this is the real Ye Chen, and I couldn't help but shiver.

I was right, they are both ruthless people with ulterior motives.

"Where did you hide Wen Heng's soul?" I pressed.

Ye Chen shrugged and smiled at me: "It was Ye Ling'er who hid it. I had no idea. If it weren't for my soul residing in Wen Heng's immortal body to nourish him, his immortal body would probably have turned to petrification and vanished into ashes long ago. Shouldn't Ahua thank me?"

They were talking.

"Thump!" A woman fell heavily from the high-rise building where the bar was located. Her eyes were wide open as if she was unwilling to accept it. She lay on the ground, bleeding from her seven orifices and with broken limbs, already lifeless.

In the next instant, Ye Ling'er appeared before the woman's corpse like a ghost, and with a flick of her finger, a ray of light from her fingertip devoured the soul of the woman lying on the ground into her own body.

Finally, he gave me a wicked smile and then disappeared from our sight in an instant.

I frowned, feeling deeply uncomfortable, as I stared at the life on the ground, which Ye Ling'er had mutilated like an ant: "Aren't you afraid of retribution for harming life like this?"

My resolve to bring Wen Heng back as soon as possible has only strengthened.

"Tell me, how can I get the Nightmare Gu to take me back into a dream when my energy is low?" I pressed Ye Chen for an answer.

"Ah Hua, I'm just wondering why you're so obsessed with going to the Dream Realm? Even if the Nightmare Gu doesn't drain your energy, staying in the Dream Realm for even a moment will still consume your energy, especially for someone like you who has closed the Dream Realm gate."

After a moment of contemplation, he grinned slyly and said, "Could it be that Wen Heng was in your dream?"

Feeling a little guilty that he had guessed my thoughts, I weakly replied, "Yes, the Nightmare Gu you planted often transforms into his appearance to cheer me up. Is it wrong for me to like it?"

"You'd rather exhaust your energy and immerse yourself in a dream than come to me?" Ye Chen asked, feigning sadness.

I pretended to agree with him and then leaned close to his ear in a rather suggestive manner, whispering, "Didn't you say we can't be together for three months? Why don't you stay and keep me company tonight?"

Ye Chen stared blankly for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Not tonight, I have important business to attend to."

"What about tomorrow night?" I asked, trying to seduce him by gently placing my hand on his chest.

Ye Chen seemed to have his ears burning red as he desperately tried to control his emotions: "Tomorrow night is out of the question too."

"And the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow won't work either... let's do it three months from now," Ye Chen said directly.

Sure enough, this Ye Chen has some shady dealings, but I didn't know about them.

"Then hurry up and tell me how to use your Nightmare Gu to take this person, who is currently severely injured, to the Dream Realm!" I suddenly shouted at him.

"The more wine you drink, the more poison you use, the faster the person will die." Ye Chen blurted out, seemingly stunned by my aggressive demeanor.

After he finished speaking, I went back to the bar and bought some drinks in a very extravagant manner.

Ye Chen feigned concern and said, "You must take care of yourself!"

"hypocritically!"
