Chapter 342
Cheng Hui/Second Uncle Zhang: …………
Lin Qingyang keenly noticed Cheng Hui's gaze and immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly said, "He's a man."
Cheng Hui/Second Uncle Zhang: …???
Uncle Zhang looked skeptical, but Cheng Hui reacted very quickly and went straight to look at the woman's throat.
The clue was revealed at a glance. Originally, the collar was covering it, but now that the clothes were so tattered, it naturally lost its covering function. The small but real Adam's apple happily made its presence felt.
Cheng Hui: ...Why are there men dressed as cross-dressers in dreams?
Never mind, it's not important...
Since he was a man, there were fewer taboos. He walked over and gently patted his cheek: "Wake up, are you okay?"
The cross-dressing man is like smoke... Young Master, his eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of watery eyes.
Perhaps because he had just woken up and was not fully awake, the first time he saw Cheng Hui, he habitually smiled a charming smile that captivated everyone, and then -
He watched helplessly as the handsome boy who had just woken him up disappeared, and a face even more handsome than his appeared.
Ruyan: ...
Seeing Lin Qingyang's face, Ruyan instantly came to her senses.
It's mainly due to professional sensitivity. People in their line of work are most afraid of meeting someone who is more beautiful than you.
There is a saying that goes, meeting someone is not scary, but whoever is ugly is embarrassed.
As the most famous courtesan, when Ruyan saw a face that was more capable of fighting than her own, her first thought was... I've met my match.
Fortunately, this thought only flashed through his mind. When Ruyan was completely awake, he remembered that he was now in a small mountain village, not a brothel, and the person in front of him should not be his enemy, but just a passing traveler.
"Sorry, I'm a little dazed." Ruyan apologized gently.
That's right... There were four people at the scene, and three of them knew he was a man. It felt weird to hear him speak in that tone.
But women's clothing is a personal hobby, Cheng Hui didn't intend to make a fuss about it, just coughed dryly: "Ahem, I'm glad you're okay, we should leave."
"Leave?" Ruyan's memory was still stuck on the time when she was staying at a villager's house, and she looked a little confused.
Cheng Hui wanted to explain, but he felt like he was showing off, so he set his eyes on Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang understood immediately, stepped forward and told him what had happened in the past two days.
Ruyan's smile, which had been maintained originally, became increasingly stiff as Uncle Zhang introduced her.
What about the villagers' strange changes, what about the village chief's family sacrificing to the evil god, what about the stone man monster...
Ruyan was completely numb. He had only slept for one night, how could so many things happen?
However, Uncle Zhang's confident look did not seem like an act - mainly because he could not figure out what the point of the other party's act was.
He had nothing, and though he was pretty, he couldn't compare to the woman before him. Whether seeking wealth or beauty, he didn't feel he had any value...
"So..." After listening to Uncle Zhang's introduction, Ruyan was silent for a long time, and then reluctantly said, "You mean, it's time for us to leave?"
"right."
Cheng Hui felt a little relieved that Ruyan could remain so calm.
Ruyan forced a smile and said, "Let's go..."
After leaving the woodshed, Ruyan pretended to be casual as he passed by the bedroom of the family where he was staying. He took a peek through the window and saw that the person lying on the bed did have a long snake neck.
Ruyan had completely given up hope. This village was no longer habitable. As a frail, weak man, he didn't think he could defeat those monsters.
Having lost all her memories, Ruyan instinctively wants to find someone to rely on.
He took Cheng Hui as his target, but no matter how many times he approached, the other party avoided him without leaving a trace.
Ruyan: ...
As he passed by the stream, he secretly looked at his reflection in it.
That’s right, she is still as beautiful as a flower, there is no reason for people to avoid her like the plague, right?
Ruyan was puzzled - until he saw Cheng Hui looking at Lin Qingyang with affection, and his deeply in love look made him suspect again that he had not slept for one night, but for a month.
No matter how much she wants to find a backer, Ruyan still has some moral integrity.
Since Cheng Hui is not capable, let’s change the target.
But for some reason, Ruyan always felt a little uneasy when facing Uncle Zhang. After several times, he gave up the idea.
If he relies on the mountain, the mountain will fall. At worst, he can just run away quickly when he encounters danger...
The group left the village, and Cheng Hui activated the last node at the village entrance.
The thick white fog seemed to appear out of nowhere, completely enveloping the village.
Cheng Hui asked Uncle Zhang to try it. After Uncle Zhang walked into the thick fog, he lost his sense of direction, went around in circles, and then came out from the original place.
"Okay, let's go." Uncle Zhang carried his bag and left the small mountain village covered by thick fog behind him.
Cheng Hui and his companions also took a deep look at the small mountain village, and slowly walked forward along the path in front of the village.
Cheng Hui was not sure whether there would be any danger on this path, but he felt that he could handle it even if there was.
The woods on both sides were still dark and eerie, as if monsters would rush out at any moment and drag them in.
Everyone felt the omnipresent sense of being watched, as if something was staring at them through the woods.
They saw the bonfire when they woke up.
The bonfire burned slowly, and the bright yellow flames gradually turned into dark green.
They didn't know when they started, but they were surrounded by white fog.
Cheng Hui intuitively felt that he could leave this dream by entering the white mist, so he turned around and told others.
Ruyan was a little skeptical, and Uncle Zhang was at a loss as to what to do, but the two had no other choice.
Cheng Hui looked at Lin Qingyang, who just smiled at him, took his hand, and showed his trust in him with his actions.
"Let's go, it's time to wake up from the dream." Cheng Hui said with a double entendre, pulling Lin Qingyang and striding into the white fog.
Uncle Zhang tightened the package behind him and followed him in.
Ruyan looked like he had lost all hope in life, but since three of the four people had already gone in, it was impossible for him to go back alone, so he could only rush in with his eyes closed.
The white mist gradually dissipated, and no one could be seen by the campfire anymore. A long sigh came from somewhere, and the entire scene shattered and disappeared like a broken mirror...
The sky is bright.
Cheng Hui woke up from his dream. The body in his arms was emitting heat. He gently patted the back of the person in his arms, trying to get up without waking the other person.
"What time is it?"
"Awake?" Cheng Hui looked at him with a smile.
"Yeah." Lin Qingyang buried his face in Cheng Hui's arms, then paused and looked around suspiciously: "Yesterday..."
"You had a dream yesterday, and I was in the dream too."
Lin Qingyang was stunned for a moment, and the memories of his dream came flooding back like a tide, and his face immediately darkened.
He was actually fooled by a dream, and could only cheer on Ah Hui while he was fighting?
Fortunately, Ah Hui did not encounter any danger, otherwise he would have to find the dreamer and whip his corpse for three days.
"You remember?" Cheng Hui teased him, "You fell in love with me at first sight in my dream too. Do you like me that much?"
Lin Qingyang glanced at him, not at all embarrassed by the teasing, and said calmly: "I like you, do I need to say it? Even if I lost my memory, I would still fall in love with you at first sight. Come to think of it... isn't it the same for you? Also, did you recover your memory later?"
Cheng Hui nodded, "It's also a coincidence."
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Ah Hui remembered it, but he didn't. Lin Qingyang couldn't help but sulk with himself.
"Alright..." Cheng Hui held him in his arms, stroking his back like a cat. "Alright, stop sulking. You're still protecting me even though you've lost your memory. That's enough to prove that you love me."
Lin Qingyang didn't really want to get stuck in this, he just wanted to take the opportunity to act coquettishly. When he stood up, he took the opportunity to peck Cheng Hui on the lips: "Get up, there are still things to do."
"Hmm? What else do you want to do?"
Lin Qingyang put on his clothes and sneered, "The dream is over, but this dream wouldn't just appear out of nowhere. Let's go find out who's dreaming."
"Is this... necessary?" Cheng Hui hesitated. He thought that since the matter was over, he should just forget it.
"Of course there is." Lin Qingyang said seriously, "We are very lucky that you remembered your identity as a cultivator, so you were able to suppress the stone man. But if an ordinary person went in, he might be trapped inside. I want to find this dreamer to prevent others from getting into danger."
Cheng Hui: ...
Okay, you have the final say.
The two of them put on their clothes and packed up the underground villa.
Since they can enter this dream on the beach, it is more likely that the dreamer is on an island.
The two of them flew around the island on their flying swords, but they didn't find the dreamer. Instead, they found the cross-dressing man.
I don’t know if the cross-dressing man was aware of the dream. When they passed by, he was sitting by the campfire in a daze. A rabbit was pierced with branches and placed on the campfire. Unfortunately, because of the owner’s food, the rabbit had been burnt to charcoal, and it was difficult to eat it.
"Where did this person come from?" Cheng Hui had only just seen this Ruyan... Young Master in his dream and had no idea how he appeared.
Lin Qingyang looked disgusted and said, "I fished him out of the sea. I don't know what he did to be thrown into the sea."
Cheng Hui didn't pay too much attention to this man. He was such a living being with cultivation skills. Nothing on the island could threaten him.
After passing Young Master Ruyan, the two soon discovered that something was wrong with the peak of the highest peak on the island.
When Cheng Hui's spiritual sense swept over the place, he didn't find anything. It was not until they got closer that he vaguely noticed something special about the place.
The two flew to the vicinity of the peak. Cheng Hui took out his special tools and indeed felt the fluctuations of the formation.
Now, with the strength of his spiritual sense, only the formation can silently block his spiritual sense detection.
"Do you want to... go in?" Cheng Hui asked.
It's someone else's territory, and it's blocked by a formation. It's very impolite to enter rashly.
Lin Qingyang frowned. The formation here could perfectly block Cheng Hui's consciousness. If they hadn't gotten close and caused the formation to fluctuate, they would have had no way of discovering anything unusual here.
This kind of formation is not an ordinary one, which means that the person using the formation is likely to have a high level of cultivation.
Now, although he and Cheng Hui are both half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, they are still far from being invincible. It is not a wise move to rashly provoke enemies.
Lin Qingyang secretly said what a pity, this was the most likely place where the dreamer was hiding, but they had no way to get in.
"never mind……"
Lin Qingyang was indeed unhappy with the dreamer and wanted to cause trouble for him, but if it came at the cost of 'Cheng Hui might be in danger', then he was willing to swallow his anger.
"Let's go." The two turned around and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the formation on the top of the peak suddenly opened.
A voice came out: "Since you two are here, why not join us for a chat?"
