Chapter 33

As Jing Tao watched everything unfold before her, she suddenly felt a splitting headache and collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

What exactly is this?

Jing Tao didn't know whose memories these were, but she couldn't understand why she felt so much pain.

Jing Tao kept hitting her head with her hands.

Memories flooded back, scenes of his life with the half-demon resurfaced in his memory, no longer from the perspective of a spectator, but from the perspective of being there himself.

The last thing he saw when he fell off the cliff was the back of a half-demon.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Jing Tao numbly wiped away the tears that had slipped from her eyes.

What's this?

Outside.

Dongfang Jin saw Jing Tao lying on the ground and immediately went forward to carry her to a safe place.

Su Mu seemed to know everything and loudly reminded everyone, "Don't look into her eyes!"

After hearing this, Ren Dong took out a handkerchief and ran to Su Mu's side to cover his eyes.

Dongfang Jin tore off her sleeve to cover Jing Tao's eyes first, then covered her own.

The two blindfolded themselves and fought against the great demon.

Su Mu's martial arts skills were already mediocre, and being blindfolded made it even more difficult for him to attack.

The succubus seized this opportunity and attacked Su Mu from behind.

Honeysuckle loudly reminded, "Behind the sappanwood!"

Unexpectedly, this sentence put Honeysuckle in danger.

The banshee turned around instantly, her red eyes meeting Honeysuckle's eyes.

Honeysuckle enters my dreams.

Dongfang Jin launched her attack step by step, guided by the voice of the great demon.

The succubus swayed as she dodged the attacks.

"I didn't expect you to be so handsome and skilled in martial arts!" The succubus looked at Dongfang Jin in front of her. He was dressed in black, and the sleeves of his robes fluttered in the wind as he looked at her. The sword in his hand showed no mercy.

Dongfang Jin ignored her and continued to thrust forward.

Su Mu took off his handkerchief and ran to Ren Dong's side, shaking Ren Dong's body repeatedly, but there was no response.

Watching the banshee fighting Dongfang Jin, Su Mu drew his sword once more, closed his eyes, and approached the banshee.

The succubus panicked at the sight of the sword before her. "Taotie? No, don't move! If you kill me, they won't wake up!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Wake them up right now, or I'll kill you."

"Okay, okay," the succubus instantly surrendered, came to Honeysuckle, and waved her right hand on Honeysuckle's face. Honeysuckle slowly opened her eyes.

The succubus approached Jing Tao again but frowned. "This woman seems unwilling to wake up."

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Jin asked.

"You can open your eyes now. I won't use any sorcery on you."

"Su Mu, don't listen to her, I'm going to check on Jing Tao."

Dongfang Jin took off her sleeve and walked to Jing Tao's side. "Why doesn't she want to wake up?"

"My sorcery can put people into a deep sleep, allowing them to see things they don't want to remember or forget. Some people become so addicted to it that they cannot escape until they die."

"Can't you wake her up either?" Ren Dong asked worriedly.

"There's only one way. I can send one of you into her dream, but if you can't get her out, you'll die in the dream with her."

"I'll go," Dongfang Jin volunteered.

“No, who knows if she’s telling the truth or not,” Ren Dong retorted.

"But there's no other way."

"You and Su Mu stay outside and watch over her. I'm going to pick up Jing Tao."

"No way!" Now it was Su Mu's turn to disagree.

"I don't know any martial arts. If Dongfang doesn't wake up either, there will be no one to restrain her."

Su Mu and Dongfang Jin discussed it and agreed that Ren Dong was right, so they had no choice but to let her in.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must come out," the banshee instructed Honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle nodded, and the succubus cast a spell on her, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

Honeysuckle enters my dreams.

When Ren Dong woke up, she was surrounded by some strange scenes. Ren Dong knew it was because she had just experienced all of this.

Honeysuckle looked into the distance and saw Jingtao squatting on the ground, so she immediately ran over.

When Ren Dong cupped Jing Tao's face in her hands, she found her eyes filled with tears. Ren Dong immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped them away for Jing Tao.

"Xiao Tao, shall we leave here?" Ren Dong asked gently, but Jing Tao remained unmoved.

Honeysuckle had no other choice but to stand up and look at the scenes surrounding her.

A half-demon, driven away by the villagers, still steals things to feed Jingtao.

A clumsy half-demon tried to catch fish for Jing Tao, who was sitting on the shore, but failed time and time again.

One night, a half-demon sneaked into a human village to steal clothes for Jing Tao.

A half-demon teaches Jing Tao how to hunt and make fire in the wild.

A half-demon gave Jing Tao the hope to live with his own life.

After reading this, I couldn't stop crying. I finally understood why Jing Tao not only protects humans but also half-demons, and why she didn't want to wake up.

But those who are trapped in one place will never get far, no matter what.

She knew it would be difficult for Jing Tao to understand these things, but she was determined to wake Jing Tao up now.

Ren Dong walked up to Jing Tao, squatted down, and patted her head.

Then he pulled out Jing Tao's knife and held it to his own neck.

Jing Tao looked on, puzzled.

Suddenly, a spray of blood appeared on Jing Tao's face.

Honeysuckle collapsed to the ground in agony, her body trembling uncontrollably. Blood streamed down her neck, soaking her collar, and her consciousness began to fade.

Jing Tao looked at the fallen Jing Tao, and red instantly filled her vision. Her mind went blank, and her body stiffened, unable to move at all.

"Xiao Tao, come back with me." With her last bit of strength, Ren Dong reached out to Jing Tao, then lost consciousness. She only felt the pain in her neck gradually lessen, like mist being blown away by the wind.

Looking at the lifeless honeysuckle, Jing Tao finally couldn't help but start to wail, but no sound came out of her throat. Jing Tao was beginning to break down, carrying the honeysuckle on her back and running around trying to find the others.

Having just experienced death, Honeysuckle woke up instantly from her dream, gasping for breath. She instinctively clutched her neck, the real pain making it feel as if everything had truly happened.

Dongfang Jin looked anxiously at the awakened Ren Dong and asked, "How is she? Where is Jing Tao?"

Honeysuckle immediately looked at Jing Tao and asked, "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"That means you didn't bring her back," the succubus replied.

"Then let me go again."

"Everyone can only enter their dream once; do you think you're visiting a temple fair?"

Enraged, Dongfang Jin shouted, "Su Mu, kill her!"

The succubus then sensed the danger. "No, no! Let me think of another way!"

Dongfang Jin was consumed by self-reproach, tightly gripping Jing Tao's hand.

Suddenly, Dongfang Jin sensed something was wrong.

Jing Tao slowly opened her eyes and saw Ping An's honeysuckle and Dongfang Jin.

Jing Tao reached out and touched Ren Dong's neck.

Honeysuckle returned Jingtao's hand, "That's great, Jingtao, you're finally awake! I'm alright, can you see?"

Su Mu also opened his eyes to check on Jing Tao's condition.

Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, the succubus made a swift escape.
