Ye Chen helped me up: "It's because you've been poisoned by the Nightmare Gu."
What is Nightmare Gu?
"It's a type of demonic gu from our demon race. It follows the host's soul into dreams and drains the person's spiritual power through nightmares. But don't be afraid, I'll teach you some methods to control your spiritual power in the dream world. Just disperse those demonic gu whenever they appear..."
"Can this demonic gu send me into the dream world?" I asked.
I recall that in order to prevent the loss of spiritual power in the dream world, we cultivators set up a barrier on our life soul from the very beginning of our cultivation, so we never dream. Last time, Ranmo helped me enter a dream once, and after that, I only entered a dream twice when my life was on the verge of death. I have never entered a dream since.
Hearing him say that surprised me.
"What, you want to enter the dream world? Aren't you afraid of having your spiritual power drained and losing your life?" Ye Chen seemed somewhat speechless.
"Having lived for thousands of years, it doesn't matter if I live a few decades less in the mortal world." I was somewhat resigned to my fate.
"Tsk tsk, it's been hundreds of years. How come you've become so pessimistic and world-weary? This isn't like Ah Hua at all." Ye Chen crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, teasing me.
But I bombarded her with a barrage of questions: "What were you doing inside Wen Heng's body? Why did you run away when you saw me? You and Ye Ling'er are colluding to harm innocent lives. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
Ye Chen was somewhat speechless when I asked him: "How should I put it? Ye Ling'er stole my body, so I took the opportunity to steal the immortal body of her old lover. She wanted to forge a physical body, so I used Wen Heng's immortal body to reshape her soul."
“Forging physical bodies and reshaping emotions and souls—such acts of reversing the natural order and defying the laws of Heaven are not a justification for your numerous evil deeds,” I said.
"I am a demon myself. How can the goodness of you cultivators be highlighted if demons don't do evil?" Ye Chen shrugged indifferently.
Yes, they are demons by nature. To expect demons to reform is simply a pipe dream.
As soon as I finished speaking, I looked up and saw Qingyan walking out of the bar.
Just as I was about to call out to her, I discovered that Ye Ling'er, that devil, was following behind her.
That's when I noticed something was wrong with Qingyan. She was walking towards the middle of the road with a vacant look in her eyes and a wandering gaze...
If she continued walking, she would definitely be hit by a car and die.
Seeing her like this, I was about to rush out to stop her, but Ye Chen grabbed my arm. I said to him urgently, "What is she doing? Didn't she say she was just absorbing some spiritual energy in the dream world?"
"She's looking for a soul that matches hers. If she's killed in the accident, she can take the opportunity to capture part of her soul to use as the primordial spirit to forge her physical body. What? She's your friend?"
"Yes! Let me go!" I shouted.
"You shouldn't be discovered by Ye Ling'er right now. You wait and see!" With that, Ye Chen used a flash spell to appear in front of Qing Yan and block her at the roadside.
"Ye Chen, what are you doing? I finally found someone whose soul matches my requirements, don't ruin my plans!" Ye Ling'er questioned Ye Chen with a displeased expression.
“This woman is mine tonight… There are so many women inside, you can look carefully and you’ll definitely find someone suitable for you!” Ye Chen picked Qing Yan up by the waist and was about to take her away.
"How can an iron tree bloom without love and passion?" Ye Ling'er wasn't afraid that she would disappear after Ye Chen found the person whose love had blossomed for her.
"Can't I even appreciate it?" Ye Chen retorted.
"Fine, I'll take her soul after you've finished admiring her!" Ye Ling'er lowered her guard and smiled wickedly.
Ye Ling'er tactfully made way for him and then disappeared from her sight.
"Let's go! I'll take Ah Hua to see my home in the mortal realm and cleanse you and your friend of the demonic curse." Ye Chen smiled at me from a distance.
Under the twinkling streetlights, Ye Chen's smiling face made me momentarily think I was seeing Wen Heng.
As if possessed, I followed Ye Chen all the way to a very cool red sports car.
"Why not use magic?" I asked, looking at Qingyan lying in the car, afraid she might have been thrown to her death.
"With transportation so advanced now, saving a little spiritual energy is always good..." Ye Chen explained.
Qingyan and I sat in the back seat of Ye Chen's bright red sports car.
Soon they arrived at a luxurious villa.
"They're definitely rich; their living conditions are just different!" I exclaimed, looking up at them.
After I placed Qingyan on the sofa in the room, Ye Chen took her pulse and said, "This woman is quite peculiar. She didn't fall under the spell after drinking the wine. Let her rest for a while and she will wake up."
When I heard that Qingyan was alright, I felt a little relieved.
So I randomly found a seat and continued to question him: "Why did you run away when you saw me, and even pretend to speak in a gentle voice? You'd better explain yourself clearly."
"I just happened to run into you. I happened to hear your voice, but I wasn't sure if it was you. So I made up an excuse to go to your house to see you and signed a contract with you. I didn't expect to actually see you."
"Running out just now was just due to inertia..."
Just as I was about to argue again, my stomach started growling loudly.
As he removed the gold ring from his hand, he casually tossed the gold necklace around his neck onto the sofa: "Our Miss Ahua? What would you like to eat? I, Young Master Ye, will make it for you!"
Remove the tacky gold ring and gold necklace.
It looks much more homely and comfortable now. I stared at Ye Chen intently and said, "Whatever."
"Noodles with braised meat sauce?"
"Um."
After saying that, Ye Chen put on an apron and got busy in the kitchen.
Watching him with his warm and gentle face bustling around in the kitchen, I felt as if I had returned to the figure of Zhou Lang cooking for me.
I stood there stunned at the kitchen doorway, while Ye Chen was intently cooking noodles.
"What? You've fallen for me because I'm so capable? How about you reward me with a kiss?" Ye Chen asked me with his usual shameless smile.
I rolled my eyes at him. He wouldn't listen to anything nice, but he had a lot of bad things to say. He was better off not smiling, because when he did, I felt like punching him.
I tried my best to control my emotions and not let Ye Chen control me.
So I wandered around his house, looking it over.
It would have been better if he hadn't turned the page; turning it only made Yu Xin more agitated: "How did he manage to make the house such a mess? If he doesn't want to do it himself, can't he at least use some magic?"
The thought of him living in this environment every day with Wen Heng's smug face and Wen Heng's body really makes me want to punch him.
As I was wandering around, I suddenly spotted a familiar piece of clothing in his closet...
The very same garment I bought for Zhou Lang for ten taels of silver back then has also appeared in Ye Chen's wardrobe.
"I thought it looked nice, so I secretly hid it outside, intending to wear it secretly." Ye Chen said embarrassedly, having noticed me staring at the clothes.
"Ye Chen, you thief! You stole my Wen Heng and your clothes too!"
