Zhong Muyu had been trying to figure out a way to escape, but now that she was in someone else's dream, she couldn't transform into anything she wanted, and her summoning of 4601 went unanswered.

At that moment, the Shadow Witch suddenly summoned two ropes and hoisted her up.

Being under heavy pressure and suspended like that is really unbearable.

“I’ve adjusted the time flow in the dream, and I can keep you occupied. Now you have no other choice but to agree. There’s no harm in agreeing, and I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Zhong Muyu chuckled: "There's no harm in it. Just being a puppet is enough to fool fools!"

Sure enough, the pressure on my body became even heavier, and this time it felt like my neck was being choked, making it hard to breathe.

“Someone like you is lucky to be a puppet of the Spirit Clan. I know you’re greedy, and the Spirit Clan has plenty of gold and jewels… Hmm? No…”

Suddenly, Shadow Witch remembered something and released the pressure on her neck and body. Zhong Muyu, finally able to breathe, gasped for air.

“I almost forgot, you really like that Lu Ziyuan.”

Zhong Muyu trembled. It would be terrible if she put her mind to Lu Ziyuan!

Shadow Witch was very satisfied with her reaction: "As long as you agree to my request, I can let Lu Ziyuan and you reunite in the Spirit Clan. If you wish, you can also have many male lovers."

"I'm really tempted by this, but what if I don't want to? Would you kill him?"

"No. I will use illusion magic to bewitch him again, make him choose a new principal wife, and then find him a bunch of concubines, so that he will completely forget you. Even if you don't agree to me, you will have nowhere to go. You know, it's very easy for me to do this."

Zhong Muyu clenched her fist: "So it was you."

She was the one who taught Su Zhirou illusion magic, which means she was indeed in cahoots with Wu Zhao.

Seemingly to further provoke her, the Shadow Witch conjured up the image of Su Zhirou: "Letting her be with Lu Ziyuan doesn't seem so bad. You certainly don't want to see that, do you?"

The conjured "Lu Ziyuan" and "Su Zhirou" were laughing exceptionally happily, embracing each other, their deep affection overflowing.

Even though I know it's fake, this scene is still very unpleasant!

This shadow witch looks quite old, but I never expected her to be so despicable.

Zhong Muyu sneered, "At your age, you're still doing such despicable things. You must have done a lot of them when you were young. It's a pity you're too old, so the old black lotus has to let the young black lotus do it?"

"What?"

The Shadow Wizard raised the volume, making the sound as harsh as chalk scraping across a blackboard.

She hates it when people say she's old!

Aging not only means the loss of physical beauty, but also the weakening of the body and mind, all of which she does not want to face, so she has been seeking ways to delay aging.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and with a snap, Zhong Muyu's left cheek instantly burned with pain.

But she still smiled and said, "Are you angry? It seems I was right. You know you're getting old, so you should hurry up and prepare your coffin for your old age and funeral, instead of causing trouble everywhere."

Zhong Muyu kept her mind focused, and soon she was slapped on the right cheek, and her neck was grabbed.

"Zhong Muyu, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"You've hit me plenty of times already, what good will threatening me do now!"

"Fine, you like getting beaten up, huh?"

The Shadow Witch narrowed his eyes, and soon, all sorts of torture instruments appeared around him.

This woman is truly depraved; she actually made her experience all these tortures!

The Shadow Witch sneered, "Then let you reflect on whether you agree or not while you're suffering."

Zhong Muyu saw that the flesh on her face was trembling slightly. She must be very angry right now. But the angrier she gets, the more unstable her mind becomes, and the more problems will arise in this dream. Zhong Muyu can then take the opportunity to break it.

The Shadow Witch flicked her sleeve, and a spiked club coated with chili water flew towards Zhong Muyu.

"Let's start with this."

Zhong Muyu looked at her calmly: "Old woman, do you think your dream is flawless?"

What do you mean?

Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, Shadow Witch was also unsure of herself.

Capturing Zhong Muyu here had already taken a lot of her energy, and now she still had to maintain control of Zhong Muyu in the dream. She couldn't be sure if something would go wrong.

Zhong Muyu smiled and said, "Your dream might break in an instant."

"Nonsense! Whether it breaks or not, you'll have to experience it for yourself!"

The spiked club was about to strike Zhong Muyu, but stopped just before it made contact.

Before the Shadow Witch knew what was happening, a gust of wind carrying white mist swept everything up. The Shadow Witch tried to stop the wind, but it was no use.

At this moment, Zhong Muyu appeared from the wind. She snapped her fingers, and the pile of broken torture instruments crashed into the Shadow Witch.

Recreating a dream within a dream—that mysterious person had done this before, but it took them a while to figure it out, and they ended up getting beaten up by that old hag for nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhong Muyu felt a lingering pain on her face.

The Shadow Witch wasn't entirely without a chance to fight back. She dodged and tried to defend herself, but she was still beaten badly.

"How could you possibly decipher my dream...?"

"It's not like I just discovered this ability today. Of course I can break it, so I'm going to pay back all the beatings I suffered before."

After saying that, a loud slap landed on the Shadow Witch's face.

"you!"

The enraged Shadow Witch attempted to trap Zhong Muyu again, but it was too late. The dream was no longer under her control, and she was now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

After being thrown out by Zhong Muyu and beaten until he vomited blood, the Shadow Witch shakily took out a string of bells and rang them.

Zhong Muyu looked at her with interest: "What tricks are you up to now? I say, since you can't do anything, you might as well end this dream and send me back. That way, it'll be better for both of us, and we'll avoid suffering any more."

Just now, Zhong Muyu also took the opportunity to explore this dream. Although it is now hers, the Shadow Witch seems to have used some kind of magic to trap her body. To wake up, she will have to rely on the Shadow Witch to cast a spell.

The Shadow Witch roared, "Without my permission, you'll never go back! You'll stay in the dream world until you've thought things through, then I'll let you out!"

A thunderclap exploded outside, and everything in front of her gradually disappeared like shattered ashes. Zhong Muyu felt that someone was disturbing her dream again.

She felt dizzy. Could it be that this Shadow Witch had accomplices outside?

Yes, she guessed right.

Then, a familiar figure, one she hadn't expected, slowly appeared.

"Su Zhirou?"

The newcomer was Su Zhirou, but compared to when she was in the Prince's mansion, she looked thinner and more alluring now. The air of a wealthy young lady had completely disappeared, replaced by a distant and murderous aura.

The Shadow Witch said, "During this time, let your old friend keep you company and have some fun."
