Juechen dragged Mu Tiantian to the bedroom.
Mu Tiantian let him pull her along, unable to understand why he had helped her earlier.
Didn't he want to kill her?
Mu Tiantian asked, "Seventh Commander, is he now the python spirit or Juechen?"
Qi Tong: [It's Juechen. To put it bluntly, Juechen's inner demons and the python spirit's obsessions influenced and controlled his body. In addition, his own consciousness was trapped in a dream, so his body acted on instinct, which led him to come to Demon King Valley and become the Demon King.]
Qi Tong: [I think I helped you just now out of instinct.]
Mu Tiantian: [If the dream ends, will Juechen also wake up?]
Seven unifications: [Logically speaking, that's how it should be.]
Mu Tiantian quietly took out another bottle of medicine that she had previously refined from the Spirit Herb Mountain.
Juechen ripped off the red rope around her neck, pulling out the Buddhist prayer beads, and at the same time took out the Buddhist prayer beads from his own hand.
With a strong squeeze, the prayer beads shattered into powder.
A few days ago, when he returned to Demon King Valley, his prayer beads and staff kept interfering with the dreams he was creating, so he damaged them.
However, he kept a Buddhist rosary, hoping to create a connection with the rosary she was wearing.
Now that she's under his control, the two prayer beads are useless.
Juechen cast a spell again, and the iron chains in the four corners moved to his hands.
This was created by him to keep her confined.
She will become a tool to help him cultivate himself.
Mu Tiantian drank the medicine, took a step forward to Juechen, hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and kissed his lips.
They fed him the medicine and infused him with some spiritual energy.
Juechen realized that she had given him medicine, but his body instinctively became intoxicated by her kiss, greedily absorbing her spiritual energy.
It cannot be pushed away.
Mu Tiantian's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
I don't know how much time passed.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Juechen's sleeping face.
Stray hairs fell across her forehead and landed on the tip of her nose.
She gently tucked a stray hair behind his ear.
Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed.
"Juechen..." Mu Tiantian called softly.
Juechen paused for a moment upon hearing the address, then chuckled softly and asked, "My wife, what are you saying?"
"What?" Mu Tiantian didn't react.
He found Mu Tiantian's dazed look quite adorable and couldn't resist kissing her.
Looking at Juechen, whose personality had changed drastically, Mu Tiantian recalled the medicine she had fed him in the bedchamber.
That was a mind-controlling drug she concocted on Lingcao Mountain, which could relax people's nerves.
Mu Tiantian looked around at the antique-style bedroom, which was not as magnificent as the Demon King's Palace.
But it was warm and cozy enough.
Juechen stood up, kissed her cheek, and said softly, "My wife, I'll go cook for you."
After saying that, Juechen got up, dressed, and left the bedroom.
Mu Tiantian simply put on her outer robe and followed.
After going outside, she was stunned by the scenery.
Blue skies and white clouds, clear waters and beautiful mountains.
There is a vegetable garden and an orchard behind the house.
There are a few scattered households.
The distance is neither close nor far.
This place is simply a paradise.
So that's why he can't wake up?
I'd rather live in a dream.
After a while, Mu Tiantian smelled the aroma of food.
It has a faint floral fragrance mixed in.
However, the fragrance seemed to be coming from her.
She tilted her head and smelled her arm, then inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pale pink flowers at her waist.
This is the flower that fell from the sky and was given to her as a token of her love.
Mu Tiantian remembered that the Love Flower could enter dreams, and it had an effect even in dreams.
Half an hour later.
Juechen carried the food to the dining table in the room, his face beaming, "Wife, dinner's ready."
He helped Mu Tiantian to the table and sat her down.
Juechen noticed the flower in her hand, assuming she had picked it nearby, and said without much thought, "Wife, this flower is very beautiful. After dinner, I will help you plant it."
"Juechen?" Mu Tiantian called out tentatively.
He seemed to react when he heard that name.
Juechen paused for a moment while picking up food with his chopsticks, his eyes flashing briefly before disappearing.
He picked up some food and put it in Mu Tiantian's bowl, then asked with a smile, "Wife, are you still half asleep? My name is Ruchen, not Juechen. My master said he'd come to see us tonight. Shall we go to the market later?"
After hesitating for a while, Mu Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay."
After the meal, Juechen took her down the mountain to the market in the nearby county town.
He bought her some jewelry and his master a wine gourd.
He said, "This gourd looks nice. What do you say, my wife, about using it to hold wine for Master?"
Mu Tiantian replied with a smile, "It is indeed very good."
Juechen bought some flower seeds and took Mutian home.
He led her to an open space, took out flower seeds, and said, "Wife, how about I let you grow flowers here from now on?"
"Come, let me help you plant it." With that, he took the love flower from her hand.
"Juechen, this is not for planting."
Juechen paused, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Wife, you've called me by the wrong name."
Seeing him like this, Mu Tiantian pursed her lips, walked to his side, and called out with a sweet smile, "Husband."
Juechen beamed with joy, "My wife."
Mu Tiantian took the love flower and said, "Husband, let me tell you, this is a love flower. If two people in love drip their blood on it, it will bloom. If they love each other forever, it will never wither. But if one of them changes their mind, it will wither."
Upon hearing this, Juechen immediately bit his finger, dripped blood onto it, and asked, "Is that so?"
The love flower, stained with his blood, shrank into a white bud.
Mu Tiantian also bit her finger and dripped blood onto it.
The white love flower absorbs the blood, blooms again, and its color gradually deepens to light pink, and finally turns red, blooming extremely beautifully.
Juechen's face was full of joy. He went into the house, took out a ceramic vase, and put the love flowers in it.
"My wife, I will definitely not let it wither," Juechen promised.
Mu Tiantian took a deep breath, took his hand, and looked at him earnestly, "Juechen..."
"Wife, I'm going to catch fish in the river. Master likes fish soup. I'm also going to catch pheasants on the mountain. You love roast chicken, wife." Juechen interrupted her, picked up the fishing tools, and pulled her towards the riverbank at the foot of the back mountain.
"You know this is a dream, right?" Mu Tiantian finally asked.
Juechen's hand trembled slightly. "My wife, what are you talking about? What dream?"
My palms were so warm, how could it be a dream?
Mu Tiantian felt the ground tremble slightly, and her consciousness began to blur.
Juechen stood there silently, trying to calm himself down. The tremors around him subsided, and the calm returned to normal.
"Wife, let's go catch fish."
"Yes, my love."
Juechen froze upon hearing the sweet voice.
He turned around and saw Mu Tiantian looking at him with a sweet smile, appearing innocent and carefree, completely different from before.
He caught a glimpse of the love flower in the vase outside the door, which was now withering.
In the end, it turned to ash and drifted away in the wind.
He stood there, memories he didn't want to recall playing back in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Since they got married, he always felt that Tian Tian was a little different.
Tian Tian used to have worries, but now she is happy every day.
Because he wanted her to be happy.
Occasionally, he would dream of very terrifying scenes.
He dreamt that she was harmed by a snake demon, and he was that snake demon.
He dreamt that she called him Juechen, but that's not his real name.
Sometimes he would have very terrifying dreams, such as his master being killed by her.
I dreamt that he wasn't him.
He kept telling himself that it was just a dream.
What he has now is real.
Is that really the case?
He didn't want to explore the truth.
He wanted to continue living like this.
Now, however, the flower of love has suddenly withered.
Why exactly?
His memory was confused; he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or in reality.
He instinctively tried to grab Tian Tian, but his hand was empty.
She disappeared.
The scenery around him began to change; mountains and rivers rose against the sky, while blue sky and white clouds fell downwards.
The world became chaotic and blurred.
His dream... ended...
