After killing all the monsters, Jiuying walked up to Shen Miao and said with a smile, "Shen Miao, don't be afraid. Look, they are too weak and can't be defeated. What's so scary about such monsters?"

"Is it really that weak?" Shen Miao was in a daze.

Why was she driven to such a desperate situation by these monsters?

Jiuying knew she was still confused, so she patiently explained to her, "Actually, these things become weak as long as you are strong. If you show weakness to them, they will take advantage of you. So, don't overthink it, just don't take them seriously."

"I... I can't control myself." Shen Miao's eyes flickered.

She was so tormented that she was physically and mentally exhausted, and had no will to resist.

Jiuying knew that Shen Miao was trapped in her own dream and had developed inner demons. Only by helping her break free from these inner demons and leave the dream could she be considered completely healed.

"It's alright, I'm here. We'll leave here together." Jiuying smiled brightly.

Shen Miao trusted Jiu Ying. In her heart, besides Zai Zai and Qing Chen, Jiu Ying was the person she trusted the most.

Hearing Jiuying say this, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out together. Can we get out? There doesn't seem to be any road here?"

Everywhere was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to distinguish east from west or north from south.

This is Shen Miao's state of mind at this moment.

There was no road in sight, only thick fog, and monsters kept emerging from it.

Jiuying, however, was full of confidence: "What's the big deal? If there's no road, we'll just go find one."

Inspired by him, Shen Miao also mustered a lot of courage and said with a sigh, "Then let's go look for it together."

It's easier said than done.

The dream was incoherent, consisting of only a patch of land covered in thick fog, with a gray sky overhead. Unable to find their way, they stumbled and fell into the fog, went around in circles, and ended up back where they started.

After several such incidents, Shen Miao's mentality collapsed again, and she said in despair, "Forget it, I'm not going out. I can't get out anyway, so let me die here."

"Shen Miao!" Jiu Ying said solemnly, "You promised so readily before, why are you giving up now?"

Shen Miao said in despair, "Look at this place, there's no way out at all. If we can't find a way out, how are we going to get out? Anyway, I'm not looking anymore. If you want to look, you can look for it yourself."

As Shen Miao's emotions crumbled, the surrounding fog thickened, and the area that could be seen became increasingly smaller.

If this continues, they will probably be enveloped by the thick fog, and who knows what will happen then.

Jiuying realized that things couldn't continue like this. This was Shenmiao's dream, and she could control everything here. Only if she came to terms with it could they find a way out.

Otherwise, they would really be trapped here and die.

Thinking of this, Jiuying sat down in front of Shen Miao, softened her tone, and asked, "Shen Miao, do you miss the babies? I'm starting to miss them."

How could Shen Miao not think about it? She just knew her situation wasn't good, so she forced herself not to think about it.

Upon hearing Jiuying's question, her body trembled.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want anyone." Shen Miao shook her head, as if comforting herself, but as she spoke, her eyes reddened.

Jiuying followed her words and said, "Okay, if you don't want to, then you don't want to. But when I came in, the little ones were terrified. They were all crying and wanted to come in with me. But you know, the Soul Bell is risky. You can come in, but you may not be able to come out."

Shen Miao became anxious upon hearing this, "What? Da Bao and the others are crying? Why are they crying? I'm fine, why would I cry? Didn't we all teach them that a real man should be strong?"

“Sigh, the children are still young and dependent on their mother. No matter how much reasoning there is, nothing beats having their mother by their side. What do you think, Shen Miao?” Jiu Ying asked deliberately.

Shen Miao bit her lip, unsure what to say. After a long while, she asked, "Isn't Qingchen here? Why isn't he comforting the children?"

Jiuying let out a long sigh.

Shen Miao felt a chill run down her spine from his sigh and pressed him for an answer: "What happened? What's wrong with Qingchen? Tell me quickly!"

“He’s too busy taking care of himself right now. With you in this state, how can he possibly care about the cubs? Shen Miao, be fair. He’s your male beast. Seeing you unconscious, he’ll be devastated. He might even relapse.” Jiu Ying spoke with great concern.

Shen Miao was devastated. "How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this. Qingchen, he... he clearly... Was I unconscious for a long time? How could I have been unconscious?"

Jiuying didn't dare to mention too much, and the topic was left unresolved.

But Shen Miao was not calm. She kept muttering that she wanted to go back and find the kids and Qingchen.

As her concentration increased, the thick fog around her began to gradually dissipate.

Jiuying was overjoyed; it was working.

He pressed on, telling Shen Miao about the outside expenses and making Zai Zai and Qing Chen sound particularly miserable.

These people are the most important people to Shen Miao in this world. Without them, Shen Miao might not have been able to survive.

"The door has appeared!" Jiuying exclaimed in surprise.

As the thick fog dissipated, a door slowly appeared.

Shen Miao also raised her head and looked towards the door. The door turned a corner, so she couldn't see the whole thing. She could only vaguely tell that behind it, there were birds singing and flowers blooming, and spring was in full bloom, unlike the gloomy atmosphere here.

"Let's go!" Jiu Ying pulled Shen Miao and stepped out the door.

When Shen Miao opened her eyes, she found that all of Wu Shuang's eyes were staring at her, and four of them had red, rabbit-like eyes, clearly indicating that they had cried a lot.

The older one sat upright on the edge of the bed, staring straight at her. Although he wasn't crying, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had grown a beard on his chin, making him look extremely haggard.

"Qingchen, my little one." Shen Miao's eyes reddened instantly, and she stared blankly at Qingchen.

She thought that Qingchen had no feelings for her and that it wouldn't matter if she died. Who would have thought that Qingchen would be so heartbroken to see her in trouble? Was she wrong?

The children rushed over, crying and shouting, "Mommy, why did you take so long to wake up? Waaah, what happened to you? You scared us to death!"

Shen Miao hugged the babies in her arms and tears also streamed down her face.

"I'm sorry, my little ones, it's all my fault, I'm so bad. I'll never do it again. I'll always be with you, my little ones."

The four children, one adult and four children, huddled together and cried loudly.

The onlookers felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. Jiuying silently stood up and walked out. Seeing Qingchen, who had been left behind, she felt a strange urge to laugh for some reason.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but add, "You can go up and hug them too."

Qingchen glanced at him indifferently, but said nothing.
