Chapter 139 Dream Cup
Love the house, and love the dog...
These words echoed softly in the branches of the earth veins. Youfei opened her eyes and looked back sideways.
The noise drew murmurs of discontent from the neighbors around her. You Fei apologized softly, and then she remembered to separate herself from the concept of "I" in this huge group flowing in the earth veins.
Love the house, and love the dog...
She walked slowly and repeated it in her mind. She started out as a shadow and gradually changed into a human form, but her body was still translucent and even dark in color.
Suddenly, You Fei felt a sharp pain in her spiritual body. She held her head and stopped.
The long-dormant thoughts became active again. "It seems... some time ago, I dreamed that Jade wrote to me again!"
"She's grown up now, making her own way out there, but she still misses home and writes back every now and then. Thutmose has so many things to do that I sometimes forget about her. Fortunately, whenever I remember and see those letters, I can find out how Jade is doing..."
"When was the last time Jade sent me a letter?" Youfei frowned, and as she thought about it, she suddenly calmed down and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, I almost forgot, I've been dead for a long time."
It was pitch black all around. You Fei only stood there for a moment, but it felt like a long time had passed.
"This is so strange... Why did I suddenly remember the past? I wonder how much time has passed outside now?"
She pinched her chin and thought for a while, fragments of memories flashing through her mind.
For a while, Youfei had been having a complete and beautiful dream. The dream was long and complete, with many vivid details.
Yufei almost really thought that she had a happy family and had lived in an oasis of miracle belonging to mankind for nearly twenty years.
——Oh, by the way, she also saw what Jade looked like when she grew up.
She didn't know if it was the influence of that dream, but she dreamed of Jade again recently.
But it was not a sequel to that beautiful dream. The person who wrote the letter was Jade, who was 13 years old and without her mother.
Jade's handwriting was a little unfamiliar and crooked. It was as if she was getting to know her mother, whom she had little memory of, all over again.
She said her father had become very strange, and that she had met the enemy who killed her mother, who was also a bit strange. However, the two sides did not hate each other when they met, and they were able to sit peacefully around the same campfire.
Of course, she did not forget to mention the magical A Chong.
Ah Chong...
Is it the super funny kid who thought he was invincible but nearly starved himself to death in the desert?
Yu Fei repeated this name in her heart, feeling as if she were in another world, and her mood involuntarily fell.
But recalling certain fragments, You Fei quickly cheered up and tried to bite her sleeve.
Yufei learned this move from that dream:
——When you are unhappy, try to hold something in your mouth and think about happy things. Even if they are ordinary things, you will laugh while thinking about them.
It was the kid named A Chong who told her.
"Optimism can be cultivated," he said.
In such a boring and tedious place as the desert, he once lost all enthusiasm. During that time, he relied on Youfei to make snacks for him with the dates that Sameer had found.
[Thousand Layer Pastry] is a snack rich in sugar, suitable for scholars in the Institute of Teaching to replenish energy. It is also very popular because it lacks water and is easy to store.
But in fact, A Chong doesn't like to eat such sweet snacks.
He said that the highest level of dim sum is not sweet.
Holding a Thousand Layers of Pastry in my mouth means I can quickly cheer myself up. This is a wise life experience.
Unfortunately, Samer didn't understand this. He only knew that although date palms were rare, sugar was also very important for desert people. Since A Chong wanted it, he went to find it for A Chong.
Whether you like it or not is not as important as whether you need it or not.
A Chong needs it.
These are Sameer's simple values.
Yufei couldn't help but laugh at the thought. The dream was too real, but the only drawback was that it was too beautiful.
It didn't take long for Youfei to realize that this was a dream.
But that was also very interesting, and it made Youfei realize that she and Samel could get along in that way.
During the long wait here, Youfei also hoped that the dream was real, even if it was not true, it was just close to reality.
At least, she actually saw what Jade would look like when she grew up, instead of waiting in vain and feeling lost in her own failure as a mother.
Ever since that dream, You Fei didn't dare to harbor any hope that "A Chong" was a real person.
If you confuse your dreams with the reality you have experienced, you will most likely lose your obsession and the qualifications to linger here.
As a scholar, and a scholar who was once given high hopes by his family to revitalize the family, You Fei naturally knew that the key to his dream during this period was the man named "A Chong".
The people of Xumi do not dream, probably because they are used to it when they are alive, and almost all of them fall into a dreamless sleep after death.
If Youfei had the conditions to study now, she would also try to study her own dreams. Although she is a Yinlun school, she has learned some basic knowledge of dream interpretation from the Minglun school through several elective courses.
The simplest possibility is that whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night.
Because she was very eager to accompany Jade to grow up, she imagined what Jade would look like when she grew up, and imagined that she could live in peace with Samel and not end up dead.
Therefore, she imagined a person like "A Chong" to help her. He was like a little child, a child with a mental age similar to Jade, lively and cheerful, greedy and playful, with wild ideas and magical powers...
Compared to the gods that everyone reveres, they are more like elves who specialize in fulfilling wishes, such as the legendary Lanaro often mentioned by people in the rainforest.
He is the kind of little cutie who usually hides behind others and needs care, but when he encounters danger, he will burst out with reliable and powerful strength for his companions.
As for that kid A Chong... If the letter Jade sent some time ago was real, perhaps compared to Gabriel and Samel, who had become strange in the eyes of the child, A Chong, who had suddenly become reliable, would pay more attention to Jade because of his love for her.
After all, being nice to someone and recognizing someone are two completely different things for A Chong.
Yu Fei paced back and forth, feeling a little more relaxed.
But not long after, she suddenly noticed a tall figure appearing not far away, standing there silently.
“…”
Yufei stopped and looked far away. Unfortunately, the dim light didn't provide her with much help. But she still recognized the other person based on the familiar feeling that rose in her heart.
"... Sameer?"
"It's me." He slowly approached, and no one else appeared behind him. He lowered his head slightly, looking a little weak.
"..." Yufei was silent again. She thought that those dreams were probably not real, but looking at Sameer's expression, it seemed that they were somewhat real.
Considering what she knew of Sameer, could it be that he took that dream seriously?
The question that came to her mind at this time was neither "How did you find me" nor "Why did you come to see me?"
But——
"What do you want to do after you find me?"
Yufei knew very well that Sameer was a man who would do anything to achieve his goals.
Given his level of paranoia, You Fei couldn't put up much resistance when she was alive, and even after she died, she couldn't do that even though the other party was well prepared.
Sameer raised his head and glanced at her, "I want to get all of a person's selfishness."
“…”

As if noticing Yuffie's strange look, Samel added, "...among the three of us."
The strange thing was that without any explanation, Youfei automatically completed the name of the "person" in the first half of his sentence.
The only puzzling point is, how can an ordinary person who doesn't even have the Eye of God accomplish this task without telling that "one person"?
Before Yufei could come to her senses, she heard the other party continue, "I need your help."
Sameer's voice was devoid of emotion. "If I want to dispel this hatred, I must play a role in your resurrection."
"The Scarlet King gave me the strength to accomplish this."
Putting aside how the Red King had popped up in the conversation between the two, Yufei assumed that what Samel said was true.
only……
If Sameer already has the power to accomplish this.
"What do you need me to help you with?" You Fei didn't use the word "return".
Firstly, it’s a good thing that she was resurrected;
Secondly, eliminating hatred is also a good thing.
But when these two good things happened together, Youfei felt that something was wrong.
——Especially since the one who did this was Sameer.
It's not that she doesn't trust Sameer's ability, but these phrases and Sameer together are very unstable, like a sealed container where several elements are mixed together and react.
Yu Fei made an analogy in her heart, feeling worried.
"Just take this." Sameer threw out a small and exquisite object.
Yu Fei, whose body was translucent, did not dodge. She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but it did not penetrate her. The object fell into her arms. "...A holy relic?"
"I don't know its name, I only know it's the 'Empty Cup'," Sameer said cryptically, "Maybe one day you'll be able to decipher the story behind it, but not now."
"My dear friend, Yuffie."
Yu Fei pondered for a moment and looked at him deeply. "Is the Red King you saw really normal?"
Samel laughed out loud instead, "I know what you're thinking. That possibility doesn't exist. In our memories, the magical power he displayed was shared with him by the Red King."
"The Red King I saw was also created by him."
It sounds like... there really isn't much of a problem.
but--
"I want to hear your next plan." Yufei accepted the [Cup of Emptiness] and looked directly at Samel's half-covered face.
Hearing the distrust in the other party's tone, Sameer sighed, "This cup will properly collect your soul, and I will take it away from here..."
At this point, the voice suddenly stopped. Yufei and Samel both noticed a familiar yet strange noise coming from two familiar voices. They looked at each other without saying anything.
"Hey, they're here. See you later." Samel chuckled and waved perfunctorily, and Youfei could no longer see him.
"You can take this opportunity to digest it."
