Liu Yunqing knew that she couldn't force the issue this time.
The first time was because the opponent was too strong, so Liu Yunqing couldn't think straight and could only run away on instinct, without having time to think or consider things further.
Now, if it happened again, Liu Yunqing wouldn't dare.
She was terrified when she found out.
No matter where Liu Yunqing is, this person can easily find her.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape like he was at the Soul-Stealing Gorge, Liu Yunqing couldn't keep hiding forever. He had to understand that the difficulty of hiding from this person was worlds apart from the difficulty of hiding from Liu Yunzhao.
She couldn't refuse, but she also couldn't tell Liu Yunqing about her dream. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"Then I need a promise from you, senior."
The man's eyebrows shot up, his face clearly showing disdain and impatience, and he immediately retorted in an icy tone:
"Trying to negotiate with me?"
Although he knew he couldn't win, seeing the man's change of expression, Wuchen kept a close eye on him and secretly became wary.
Liu Yunqing remained calm, unfazed by the oppressive aura released by the other party's sudden change in expression, and said without showing any emotion:
"The fact that my senior insists on spying on my dreams is itself a difficult and offensive thing for me."
"After all this trouble and offense, am I, as the owner of this dream, not even entitled to a promise?"
A flicker of guilt flashed across the man's eyes, but his gaze swept across the distance before returning to its usual composure. He looked down at the man and said:
"The weak have no right to claim it."
Liu Yunqing was not surprised by these words. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she said, "I'm not smiling at all."
"The weak may not have the right to remain silent, but they can."
"Please take it yourself, senior."
"you……!!"
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, she adopted a "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" attitude, which angered the man so much that he glared at her and raised his hand to slap her on the top of her head.
Wuchen was startled upon seeing this. He was about to launch an interception attack, but he quickly withdrew it the moment he came into Liu Yunqing's sight, thinking that she had some way to deal with it.
After all, Liu Yunqing looked so calm.
But if they knew that Liu Yunqing's solution was to "gamble," even someone as calm as Wuchen would probably jump up in surprise.
Yes, Liu Yunqing is gambling.
She bet that this person's concern was that he had failed to search the soul last time.
He bet that this person wanted to know her dreams, and after failing to search her soul, he was even more determined to kill her.
Since it's a gamble, there's no way to be 100% certain. Liu Yunqing pretended to be calm, but in reality, her heart was pounding in her throat.
...but she won her gamble.
The hand clapped in mid-air, but ultimately did not fall.
"Speak."
Seemingly unable to accept that he had lost face in front of such a weak junior, the man lowered his hand and spoke in a low voice, but both Liu Yunqing and Wuchen could hear the gritted teeth in his voice.
However, Liu Yunqing didn't mind. Seeing that the other party had agreed, he immediately said:
"I need your promise that as long as I tell you about the dream I had that day, you will not harm me or my friend, and you will never cause me any more trouble."
Liu Yunqing didn't really want the promise; she wanted to ascertain whether the person harbored any murderous intent.
Anger flashed across the man's face before he concealed it, but he still swore an oath.
Just as Liu Yunqing was satisfied, the man narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Liu Yunqing, saying:
"I've given you the promise you wanted, so how can I guarantee that you're telling me the truth?"
Liu Yunqing had clearly anticipated this, and without further ado, he said decisively:
"I swear to the heavens that if even one word of the dream I told you, senior, is false, may my cultivation not advance an inch, and may I die and my cultivation vanish instantly!"
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, muffled thunder rumbled in the sky, and a bolt of lightning with little offensive power gently struck Liu Yunqing, signifying the establishment of the Heavenly Oath.
"Alright!" Seeing Liu Yunqing's decisiveness, the man's expression finally improved, and his gaze towards Liu Yunqing carried a hint of appreciation.
Little did he know that his words of praise and appreciation would soon prove him wrong.
After both parties had made their vows to Heaven, the man stared at Liu Yunqing expectantly, signaling her to quickly tell him the contents of her dream.
Liu Yunqing cooperated, sincerely recalling the dream before speaking:
"That day, I dreamt of ￥%&*……!@——"
Liu Yunqing looked up in surprise, clutching her neck with both hands, her face gradually filled with terror.
Seeing Liu Yunqing's state, the person who had been expecting her to speak was even more "terrified" than she was.
"What's wrong with you? Explain yourself!"
Liu Yunqing took a few deep breaths, then pointed to her throat, her voice hoarse, and said:
"I...did I not make a sound just now? Did you hear what I said, senior?"
"How could this be? Senior, what exactly happened?"
The man's expression shifted rapidly; he simply couldn't accept this outcome. He grabbed Liu Yunqing by the neck, lifted her up, and asked:
"Trying to fool me? You did it on purpose?"
Liu Yunqing was powerless to fight back. Soon, her face turned red from suffocation, and the sound of her throat bones cracking could almost be heard.
Liu Yunqing was terrified and could only keep using her divine sense to convey that she really couldn't make a sound when she talked about the dream.
"Senior, please think back to the time you tried to search my soul..."
That matter indeed gave that person a lot of concerns. As soon as Liu Yunqing brought it up, the person's eyes calmed down, and the hand that was gripping Liu Yunqing's neck quickly loosened.
Taking a few deep breaths, the man regained his composure, though a glimmer of hope and wishful thinking remained in his eyes. He said to Liu Yunqing:
"Since you can't say it aloud, then communicate with me telepathically, just like you did before."
Liu Yunqing naturally wouldn't disobey the other party. She covered her neck with her right hand, responded with a voice that sounded as if it had been rubbed against a sharp stone, and then prepared to transmit her voice.
The next instant, the man saw Liu Yunqing staring at him with wide eyes, her face still flushed from suffocation, turning bright red again, her mind still trying to transmit her thoughts, her mouth already speaking anxiously and hoarsely:
"Senior, can you hear me? Why, why can't I transmit my voice?"
The man was naturally furious, but because he was worried that he couldn't kill Liu Yunqing, he could only try various methods with her.
Ultimately, it ended in failure.
Liu Yunqing stood by, barely daring to breathe. Finally, under the man's frequent glances, he seemingly casually mentioned again the terrifying force that had overturned him when he attempted to forcibly search his soul.
That's definitely not a power that the Sun Realm could possess.
If it's not the power of the Sun Realm, then where is it from?
What secrets does this female cultivator hold?
Those supernatural methods would naturally allow them to easily prevent anyone from discovering the true secrets.
The man was initially angry, but after his mind cleared and he calmed down, he began to scrutinize Liu Yunqing with a critical gaze.
"I'm really curious now, who exactly are you?"
"More curious than about that dream itself."
