Extra: Entering a Dream (I)
The immortal was taking a nap when the lingering inner demon took the opportunity to emerge and pounce on him angrily.
*
Su Jinzhou was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on the door.
His heart was beating fast, and before he could sit up from the bed, the door was pushed open heavily.
A servant in linen clothes ran in and pulled him off the bed. He staggered a few steps barefoot, looking stunned.
"What are you daydreaming about?!" The servant pushed him back again, "Put on your shoes! The young lady is asking someone to build her a swing. If you're late, you'll be whipped!"
Su Jinzhou frowned and shook off the servant's hand, "Who are you?"
Looking at the world of cultivation, who dares to disturb his sweet dreams and pull and tug at him?
...Except for Nightmare Lord.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "You really don't know what's good for you! Are you tired of living? You want to be whipped so badly? Come on, come on, I don't care about you!"
He ran out cursing, then sighed loudly and ran back, "Since you usually help me keep watch at night, I really owe you!"
He took the shoes by the bed and asked Su Jinzhou to put them on without any explanation, then pulled him out.
Su Jinzhou ran all the way, looking at the completely unfamiliar house, feeling confused.
The servant stopped outside a courtyard, straightened his clothes, and pulled the corner of Su Jinzhou's clothes.
"What's wrong with you today? You're so silly! Be smart when you see the lady later, or you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
As the servant said this, he gave Su Jinzhou a wink, and the two of them stepped over the threshold.
They walked across the water corridor and came to the Shuixin Pavilion.
Just as I was about to finish my day on the boat, I could see the entire pavilion and then I heard the sound of teacups breaking.
A woman shouted in a delicate voice: "Where is the person I want? Why hasn't he come yet?!"
He immediately recognized that the spoiled and domineering voice came from Ji Tang.
A smile instantly appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up the steps of Shuixin Pavilion. Before he could get close to her, the servant beside him held his shoulders and led him down, and then he knelt down.
At this moment, he instinctively used his spiritual power, but was shocked to find that he had no spiritual power at all and did not have much strength left, so he was easily pinned down by the servant.
The servant kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, "Miss, we are late, please forgive us!"
Su Jinzhou had a dazed expression as he held his head down, hitting his forehead against the ground several times.
A cute laugh came from above his head, and then his chin was lifted up by the tip of the shoe.
He saw the lady's face.
It’s Jitang for sure!
But the way she looked at him was full of mockery and disdain, without a trace of familiarity!
Ji Tang looked him up and down, "Do you need someone to teach you how to kowtow?"
Su Jinzhou looked up at her in a daze, his chin scratched by the jewels inlaid on the shoe upper.
Ji Tang raised his head as high as possible by raising his toes, and then said charitably, "Dumb?"
"He's not dumb, it's just that this part isn't working properly!" The servant pointed to his head to smooth things over. "Please forgive me, young lady. Although this guy is stupid, fortunately he's very obedient. If you tell him to go east, he won't dare go west!"
"Oh?" Ji Tang swayed on his toes, and Su Jinzhou's face swayed left and right, with several long and thin bloody cuts on his chin.
She said lightly, "In that case, you will be my horse from now on."
"Horse, horse?" the servant was surprised. "Miss, you mean..."
Ji Tang played with her nails and stood up. "Set up the swing for me," she said to the servant, then walked over to Su Jinzhou and said, "You, take me back."
Even though Su Jinzhou was facing Ji Tang, a complete stranger, he just wanted to indulge and coax him.
He raised his hand to pick the person up, but before his hand touched Jitang, he was whipped!
Horrible blood marks suddenly appeared on the wrist.
Ji Tang glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "How dare you! You still want to touch me with those dirty hands?!"
Su Jinzhou: "..."
Ji Tang raised his chin and said, "Get down."
Su Jinzhou had no idea what the situation was, so he could only take things one step at a time.
He lay down, his back slightly sunken, and Jitang sat sideways on his back.
Ji Tang uttered a word in his pleasant voice: "Go!"
Su Jinzhou almost couldn't maintain his expression. He wanted to just pull her over and stop her from making any sound.
Su Jinzhou's horse took Miss Jitang back to the house.
He worked silently and diligently all the way.
The lady got off him and finally gave him a good look.
"Yes, go wait outside."
Su Jinzhou's coarse cloth clothes had been worn out at the knees, revealing a bloody mess of skin underneath.
How could such a beautiful and lovely lady do such a vicious thing?
He also had the same face as Jitang, which made him unable to get angry.
He waited outside the house all night, and only when the sun was high in the sky the next day did the young lady finish dressing and slowly walk out of the house.
She saw Su Jinzhou, snorted and laughed, and ordered the maid behind her, "Go prepare some feed for my horse."
The maid hunched her shoulders, looking terrified as she served. "Yes, Miss."
As soon as the maid left, Jitang approached Su Jinzhou.
Only then did Su Jinzhou notice that she had a long whip hanging from her waist. The handle was delicate and compact, making it easy for her to use.
She walked slowly around Su Jinzhou, saying as she walked, "Where should we go for fun today?"
She seemed to want to see Su Jinzhou's timid expression, but the Immortal Venerable couldn't do it.
Ji Tang was not very satisfied. "What a fool! Go away! You're an eyesore!" She said and pushed him hard.
She used too much force and pushed Su Jinzhou to the ground, and she herself sat down on the ground.
Su Jinzhou saw that she was hurt from the fall, with red eyes, and without caring about his own condition, he hurried to help her.
"You dare!" Ji Tang yelled with red eyes.
Su Jinzhou rubbed his hands off his clothes and tried to help, but was kicked by Jitang.
If it was his Ji Tang, this kick would naturally have no killing power, but now the person in front of him was Miss Ji Tang, and she used all her strength in this kick. Su Jinzhou was just a mortal without any magical powers, so he was kicked over by her without any surprise.
Ji Tang was still not satisfied, so he pulled out the whip and was about to hit him.
Su Jinzhou's eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his hand to grasp the whip, his palm aching. He pulled it as she looked startled, and the whip was snatched away from him.
Ji Tang opened his mouth and shouted in disbelief, "You bold, bold dog slave!"
Su Jinzhou threw the whip aside, propped himself up, walked a few steps to Ji Tang, and under Ji Tang's vigilant gaze, picked up the people.
"Ah!!!" Ji Tang screamed even louder, "Someone come! Someone come quickly! Do you want to die? Why don't you let me go?!"
Su Jinzhou frowned and ignored her. He carried her into the house and put her on the bed gently.
He pressed down her moving hands and asked, "Where did you fall?"
Ji Tang struggled, "How dare you! I'm going to kill you today!"
Su Jinzhou tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and lowered his head to bite the noisy lady's lips.
Jitang was so frightened that he couldn't even scream. Tears welled up in his eyes and quickly flowed down his cheeks.
Thanks to the lady's loud shouting, Su Jinzhou drove straight in. After a while, the lady could only breathe rapidly and could not speak.
Su Jinzhou softened his tone, "Ji Tang, stop making trouble."
Jitang pursed his lips and glared.
Su Jinzhou said, "You came into my dream? What kind of messed up dream is this? Are you the same person you are today? Are you taking this opportunity to mess with me?"
Ji Tang didn't understand what he was saying. His lips were kissed red and anger surged up, "I'm going to kill you!"
Su Jinzhou covered his forehead and sighed.
He knew it was a dream, but he still coaxed her: "Stop talking about killing people all the time. Don't you want to ascend to become an immortal?"
Ji Tang then had a different expression, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"What kind of place is this? Is there no one practicing Taoism here?" Su Jinzhou wiped her tears and blew her nose. He was very skilled in doing this, but it still left Ji Tang stunned.
"You are such a fool, you even dare to talk about cultivating immortals!"
Su Jinzhou smiled and said, "Why not? I can even teach you how to cultivate immortality."
Ji Tang sat up suddenly. Just as she was about to ask him something, she remembered the sudden kiss just now and changed her tone, "Apologize!"
Su Jinzhou apologized immediately.
After hearing the apology, Jitang was still angry and felt like he had punched cotton.
Su Jinzhou: "Miss, are you interested in cultivating immortality?"
"Who is not interested in cultivating immortals?" Ji Tang asked back.
Su Jinzhou smiled and nodded, "Then I'll teach you."
Ji Tang looked at him suspiciously, "You are a foolish servant, you are not deliberately lying to me in order to escape punishment!"
Su Jinzhou did not explain and told Su Xuanzong's introductory practice method.
Jitang listened attentively.
Su Jinzhou said, "You can choose to cultivate your sword skills, and stop using the whip."
Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou's voices rang out at the same time.
"Are you afraid I'll spank you?!"
"That thing is hard to control, don't hurt yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tang lost his voice again.
Su Jinzhou has a mortal body and is unable to guide Ji Tang to the path of cultivation.
He could only teach her the theory and answer her questions about cultivation.
Unexpectedly, Miss Jitang in the dream was also very talented. In less than a month, she was able to draw spiritual power into her body and practice according to the method he taught.
Ji Tang naturally stopped mentioning the matter of treating him like a horse, but the young lady was still arrogant and domineering, and the look she gave him was mostly annoyance mixed with curiosity.
Several years passed in a flash, and Su Jinzhou accompanied Jitang from building the foundation to consecration, but Jitang never appeared in his dreams.
Miss Jitang was always consistent, using him as she wanted and dismissing him as she wanted.
As soon as she woke up that day, she called Su Jinzhou over.
Ever since Su Jinzhou was sure that Ji Tang was not dreaming, he no longer overstepped the boundaries.
This was the young lady's boudoir. He walked in with his eyes lowered, staring only at the ground.
"Come here." The lady called him in a soft voice.
He took a few steps forward, still some distance away from the young lady, but he could already see her jewel-encrusted shoes beside the bed.
Ji Tang was not satisfied with his slow response and ordered capriciously, "Put on my shoes!"
She still used a spoiled tone, speaking in an unquestionable manner, and treated Su Jinzhou like a slave.
Su Jinzhou sighed inwardly, wondering what kind of dream he was having.
"Miss, men and women should not touch each other..."
Just as he said this, he heard the lady sneer, "Just you? What kind of man are you? You're just a slave!"
When Su Jinzhou heard this, he still couldn't get angry, and just felt quite powerless.
The person speaking in front of him looked exactly like the wife he was thinking about, and had the same voice. How could he get angry?
At first, he was a little curious, but later, every time he saw the young lady, he missed his wife Yanzun more and more.
Now the inner demon can no longer jump for much longer.
Although he fell into a dream, he had been quietly eliminating the traces of his inner demon. This last bit of inner demon was too deeply rooted. If he wanted to uproot it, he could only consume it slowly when it was least prepared.
It would only take some time for him to eradicate the demons in his heart.
Miss Jitang shook her feet in white footwear.
Su Jinzhou stepped forward, bent down and picked up the shoes. Just as he put one on her, his chin was lifted up by the tip of the shoe.
He discovered that Miss Jitang liked to lift people up with the tip of her shoes, and also liked to look down at people from a high place.
However, the tip of the shoe only rose halfway before it stopped. The lady's loose underwear appeared in Su Jinzhou's sight. Just as he was about to look away, his chin was lifted up again.
This time the lady didn't use much strength, she just lifted him gently, and the jewelry on the shoe didn't leave any marks on his chin.
He looked up in confusion.
His eyes met those of a beautiful pair that were quite interested.
"Brother, I didn't know you had this habit?"
