Chapter 192 Smooth Dreaming
In the end, Snow White declined Yu Sheng's suggestion to find a straw or a paper cup to drink the drink, and chose to just take a sip.
"To be honest, this scene looks a bit wrong," Irene commented as she watched the scene from the side. "It's three points of curiosity, seven points of perversion, and the remaining ninety points looks like some evil ritual that cannot be seen by the public. Snow White, if you kneel on one knee to show your allegiance and light a few candles around you, I can take a photo of you and report you to the Secret Service..."
"Speak less, no one will think you're dumb," Yu Sheng glanced at the chatterbox, then hesitated for two or three seconds, and finally couldn't help but remind Snow White who was still sucking hard, "Well... just suck a little, you don't have to drink it until you're full, my arms are a little cold..."
Snow White finally reacted and quickly put Yu Sheng's arm down. She wiped the "dragon juice" from the corner of her mouth and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, you didn't tell me how much you needed. I'm worried that the ritual won't work."
Yu Sheng raised his hand and blew on the wound, thinking that this girl looked thin but was actually very strong - then Hu Li next to him reached out his hand and began to treat his small wound.
The fox girl looked very happy. She finally seized the opportunity to cast healing spell on her benefactor.
"And then?" Snow White smacked her lips, slowly getting used to the smell of blood in her mouth, and asked curiously, "What else do I need to do?"
"It's over. All that's left is to wait. Just do what needs to be done." Yu Sheng waved his hand. "This 'ritual' is that simple."
Snow White listened with doubt, frowning slightly. "So if I get into trouble in my nightmare tonight, I will enter the 'wasteland' you just mentioned?"
"In theory, yes."
"oh."
The thin girl asked some more detailed questions about the "wasteland" and confirmed the process with Little Red Riding Hood many times. Only then did she seem to finally feel relieved and turned to leave the room.
After the other party left, Little Red Riding Hood turned her attention back to Yu Sheng and his group: "What's next? What are your plans?"
"What time do the lights go out in your orphanage?" Yu Sheng asked casually.
"An hour and a half," Little Red Riding Hood replied. "Neither Snow White nor I have to keep watch tonight, so we will go to bed with the other children after the lights are turned off."
"An hour and a half..." Yu Sheng thought about it and quickly made a decision, "Okay, then I'll go home and sleep and see what happens tonight."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and reported to the Secret Service, then opened the door to No. 66 Wutong Road: "Good night in advance, and have a good dream."
…
The illusory swaying curtain in front of his eyes quickly faded away, and the feeling of being down to earth came over him. Yu Sheng opened his eyes in his dream and saw the endless gray wasteland extending before his eyes. The foggy and gloomy sky covered this place as always, and the whole world was peaceful and calm.
After calming himself down a bit, he turned his head and looked to his side.
Hu Li's figure also emerged, and next to him, there appeared Irene, floating in the air in the form of an oil painting.
"To be honest, your ability of 'Dream Guidance' is really useful," Yu Sheng praised sincerely as he looked at the puppet lady floating in the air, "You can also pull Hu Li into this place by the way."
Irene puffed out her chest in mid-air, but she still pretended to be reserved: "It's nothing special. It's just a dream anyway. It's very simple."
Hu Li curiously stretched out his hand and poked the puppet in the shape of an oil painting.
"It's an interesting method to seal someone in a painting. Irene, can you really not get out in this situation?"
"Don't poke, don't poke! Why are you so naughty?" Irene was poked by Hu Li and spun in the air. She shouted in dissatisfaction, "I told you that I was a painting in the dream state, and you still had to bring this up!"
"We are the only ones here," Yu Sheng didn't pay attention to the friendly interaction between Hu Li and the puppets, but looked up into the distance, "It seems that Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White haven't fallen into a nightmare yet."
Irene rested her chin with one hand: "Maybe they are lucky tonight and can have a good sleep for the rare night."
Yu Sheng nodded gently: "I hope so."
His eyes were always on the distance, looking at the scenery in the wasteland.
"What are you looking at, benefactor?" Hu Li asked curiously.
"I have always been interested in this place," Yu Sheng said casually. "I am curious about where this place is, what its existence is, and how it relates to me. To be honest, I know very little about this place, so much so that I think it is a bit reckless to just treat this place as a refuge for 'fairy tale' children. I have no choice, otherwise I should really spend more time investigating this place thoroughly."
Having said this, his gaze inevitably turned to the hill in the distance.
In this endless open wasteland, the small hill that is always within sight is the only thing that can be called "scenery" here.
"What I'm most curious about is that 'mountain'."
"That mountain?" Hu Li looked into the distance with his hands on his shoulders. "What's on that mountain?"
"I don't know," Yu Sheng shook his head. "It's because I can't reach that mountain no matter what, that I've always been curious about it. I can quickly move to other places in this wasteland with just a thought, just like traveling in a dream, but that mountain is an exception. It's always in that place. I can't walk to it, and I can't teleport to it either."
Hu Li listened thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Then I'll run over and give it a try."
"you?"
Hu Li said seriously, "My benefactor, you are very special here. Maybe the restriction here is taking effect on you. The mountain doesn't allow you to get close, but I am an 'outsider', so maybe I am not affected?"
Yu Sheng looked at the other person with a little surprise, and suddenly felt that what the girl said seemed to make some sense.
"Then go and take a look. Be careful - if something goes wrong, run back immediately."
"good!"
Hu Li agreed happily and ran towards the direction of the small hill. After running for dozens of meters, she bent down and transformed into a huge nine-tailed fox. She began to accelerate continuously. In the blink of an eye, her figure turned into a silver-white phantom propelled by nine fox fires, rushing towards the distance with a deafening sonic boom.
Yu Sheng stared at this scene closely, and then as time went by, he frowned a little.
Hu Li's figure shrank smaller and smaller, and soon it was so far away that only a tiny flash was left, but that hill... it was still there, still very far away from her.
The distance between the nine-tailed fox and the mountain seemed to be locked, to the point that it even began to violate the physical law of "nearer objects are bigger, and farther objects are smaller".
Even the running Hu Li seemed to notice something was wrong. She suddenly began to slow down, and her tails turned around and pushed back. A dazzling flash was heard in the distance - and then she ran back quickly.
It was not until Hu Li, breathing slightly, slowed down and turned into a human form in front of Yu Sheng that the latter heard a sonic boom and continuous roar coming from afar.
"No, benefactor, I can't run past it at all," Hu Li ran over quickly, "It's always so far away, I looked back, and it's almost out of sight from you!"
Yu Sheng frowned and remained silent for a long time.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Then don't try it again." After a while, he said seriously.
Hu Li nodded repeatedly: "Yeah."
At this moment, Yu Sheng suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a distorted ripple appeared above the nearby grass.
The next second, before he could see clearly what the ripples were, a figure in red and several wolves made of shadows fell from mid-air in a miserable state - the wolves were still roaring and making biting movements as they landed, as if they were fighting fiercely with some powerful enemy the second before.
Yu Sheng and his group hurried over and pulled Little Red Riding Hood, who seemed a little dazed, up from the ground.
Irene floated to the other person's side: "I didn't expect you to be here first... Haven't you ever fought?"
"We almost got beaten!" Little Red Riding Hood had realized by now that she had entered the "wasteland", and she immediately shouted indignantly, followed by a string of complaints, such as "the other side has no martial ethics" and "sneak attack", and she seemed very annoyed.
Until Yu Sheng casually said: "Then I'll open the door and you can go back and continue fighting?"
Little Red Riding Hood suddenly became quiet and sat down on the grass: "I'm tired, let's take a rest."
Then she noticed Irene floating in the air and couldn't help but look surprised: "Why are you..."
Irene interrupted instantly: “Don’t ask!”
"…If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Yu Sheng just smiled and said nothing when he saw this, then he sat on the grass with Little Red Riding Hood.
"Will Snow White come?" he asked.
"It's very likely," Little Red Riding Hood said softly, "Her condition has always been very bad. Her power has increased dramatically in the past two years, which has also caused the 'Bloody Palace Subset' she is facing to become extremely distorted. She has long found it difficult to have a peaceful dream..."
Yu Sheng nodded and said nothing.
Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a moment and then suddenly added: "By the way, when she appears, she might have been fighting just like me the moment before - don't be surprised then."
"Surprised?" Yu Sheng was a little puzzled. "What's there to be surprised about? She..."
A whistling sound of space distortion and fluctuation suddenly interrupted his unfinished words.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up from the grass and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
He saw huge figures appearing in the air one after another.
They were wearing seven kinds of armor made of gold, silver, copper, iron, rock, ice and lightning. Every time they landed on the ground, it would bring a heavy roar.
The thin girl sat on the shoulder of one of the figures, as if she were a conductor, but at this moment she looked a little listless.
Yu Sheng and the other two were stunned.
They heard Little Red Riding Hood's voice coming from the side -
"Here, Snow White—and her seven Thunder Titans."
