Chapter 182: The Goddess Descends
Shan Shan and Ruo Lan?
I was about to say something when suddenly, Yan Shan Shan hid behind Guo Yongjia and said, "Husband, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'll go take care of him right now!" Guo Yongjia smiled at me slightly, then put two fingers in his mouth and blew.
The sound of a whistle instantly rang out, and then a White Horse galloped to Guo Yongjia. This White Horse had two pairs of pure white wings, and beneath its hooves were fluffy white clouds.
Guo Yongjia mounted the horse, casually reaching out his right hand to pull Yan Shan Shan onto the horse with him. Then, with a grasp of his right hand, a Knight's Lance appeared out of thin air. The entire process was smooth and fluid.
This only indicates one thing: Guo Yongjia often enters Yan Shan Shan's dreams, and in her heart, she imagines Guo Yongjia as her White Horse prince. That’s why he has such skilled movements. I have no doubt that this guy uses this method of dream visitation to win Yan Shan Shan's heart and repeatedly eliminate various Nightmares, deepening their bond. And here I am, the demon.
Guo Yongjia, riding the White Horse, charged towards me. I instinctively reacted; since I was in Yan Shan Shan's dream, even if I was a ghost, as long as I believed I could control the talisman, I could control it.
I believe many people dream; perhaps they are chased by a ferocious beast in their dreams. No matter where they hide, they will be found! At that moment, it’s quite simple: as long as you firmly believe you are safe and that it cannot find you, then it won’t find you. As long as you believe you can defeat it, then you definitely can defeat it because in anyone's dream, the true master is the dreamer.
If Yan Shan Shan believes that her White Horse prince Guo Yongjia can pierce my chest with a single shot, then no matter how I resist, that gun will pierce my chest. Unless I can surprise Yan Shan Shan, otherwise, with just one glance, I would be utterly defeated by Guo Yongjia.
Since Yan Shan Shan has already determined that I am the Nightmare, I might as well embrace being a demon. I took out ten Paper Figurines, all with eyes drawn on them. Then, I conjured ten strings out of thin air and tied them to the backs of the Paper Figurines.
"Ah!" Yan Shan Shan screamed, "Husband, run!"
This is exactly the effect I wanted.
Guo Yongjia also realized that things were not looking good and hurriedly said, "Shanshan, I can kill him!"
"But!" Yan Shanshan hesitated for a moment.
I wouldn't give her a chance to regain her confidence because, for any woman, who is more important between a husband and a friend? This doesn't even need to be considered!
What I needed to do was to deliver a heavy blow to Guo Yongjia while Yan Shanshan was distracted, then buy time until dawn and quickly leave this place.
My fingers moved rapidly, and ten Paper Figurines under my control swung their weapons and charged at Guo Yongjia.
Guo Yongjia stood firm on his horse, sweeping his knight's spear in a circle. At that moment, I saw Yan Shanshan clasp her hands together and make a devout prayer gesture. I knew I was finished; I had completely become cannon fodder.
Sure enough, wherever Guo Yongjia's knight's spear passed, the dazzling light almost instantly broke my ten Paper Figurines in half, turning them all to ashes.
Guo Yongjia showed me a mocking smile, his intentions clear.
I thought that given my relationship with Yan Shanshan, she wouldn't harm me. But I forgot that Guo Yongjia was Yan Shanshan's husband! Who wouldn't want their husband to dominate everyone else?
"Die!" Guo Yongjia laughed loudly, holding the reins. The white horse let out a long whinny, its wings flapping as it almost instantly reached in front of me. Then, his spear lunged forward, aiming for my chest.
I knew I was doomed!
At this moment, as long as Yan Shanshan believed that Guo Yongjia's spear could pierce through me and that I would vanish into thin air, then I would have to follow the script she had determined.
At this point, I felt unusually calm. Dying at Guo Yongjia's hands was unacceptable to me; I didn't believe I couldn't defeat Guo Yongjia! But since this was in Yan Shanshan's dream, even if Guo Yongjia killed me, it would be her achievement and had nothing to do with Dao Fa.
I still have many unfinished tasks, such as rescuing my junior brother Pan Shenbao, promoting my craft as a Paper Craftsman, helping more people, and most importantly, I haven't found a girlfriend yet!
A surge of energy almost instantly locked onto me, and a spear lunged toward my chest. I had already given up resisting and slowly closed my eyes.
However, at that moment, a beautiful female voice suddenly rang out, "Shanshan, do you remember me?"
The sudden voice made me open my eyes involuntarily. In front of me stood a graceful figure that I hadn't noticed before; she blocked me completely. The knight's spear stopped just less than a centimeter from her forehead.
"Stop!" Yan Shanshan's voice followed closely behind. "How could it be you?"
Everyone reacts with their brain first before their nerves control their actions.
I couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from my brow. Fortunately, this was in Yan Shanshan's dream; otherwise, I would have been done for. Guo Yongjia wouldn't miss any opportunity to kill me.
"Is it surprising?" the woman blocking me suddenly said with a smile.
I only saw her back, but I was very familiar with it! That's right, it was Murong Duoduo!
How did she end up here? When I left, didn't I remember her sleeping in my paper crafting shop? How did she suddenly appear in Murong Duoduo's dream?
"Aren't you Qi Long's girlfriend?" Yan Shanshan suddenly asked.
Murong Duoduo smiled slightly and said, "Yes! I am his girlfriend, so of course I won't allow your husband to kill my boyfriend!"
Uh!
What is going on?
I was momentarily at a loss; when did I get a girlfriend? How come I didn't know about it?
"Your boyfriend?" Yan Shanshan was slightly taken aback. She leaned out from beside Guo Yongjia, looked at Murong Duoduo, and then glanced at me, who was covered in blood, asking, "Are you saying that bloody monster is really Brother Qilong?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I save him?" Murong Duoduo said as she slowly stepped aside, allowing me to stand in front of Yan Shanshan without reservation. She calmly said, "Look, isn't he just Cao Qilong?"
"Shanshan, don't listen to her!" Guo Yongjia quickly interjected, raising his spear again to stab at my chest.
"Wait!" Yan Shanshan hurriedly shouted. "Honey, he really seems to be Brother Qilong!"
At that moment, a miracle happened. My body began to grow new skin at a visible speed, and soon my clothes were intact on me. However, it wasn't the Daoist Robe I had worn before; it was a simple casual outfit.
"My red dress!" a little girl suddenly screamed.
Yan Shanshan's attention was drawn to her. Upon seeing the bloody figure nearby, she screamed and shouted, "Ah! Honey, there's a monster! Quickly kill her!"
Guo Yongjia was slightly stunned, and then the white horse began to move.
"No, Shanshan!" Guo Yongjia quickly said. "She's not a monster; that Cao Qilong is the one who turned into a monster, and that woman too!"
Yan Shanshan clearly seemed skeptical. Meanwhile, I couldn't hold back any longer. I quickly pulled out a ghost money note and scattered it in the direction of the little girl. Then I raised my copper coin sword and charged at her.
It wasn't that I was eager to show off; I knew that if Guo Yongjia continued speaking, the little girl would never be recovered. Since that was the case, I would take action first and not give Yan Shanshan any time to react. Just like how Guo Yongjia hadn't given me any time to react earlier; if it weren't for Murong Duoduo inexplicably showing up, I would have already been dead.
Copper Coin Sword almost struck the little girl's forehead, and that bloody little body exploded with a 'bang', turning into a splash of blood.
"Wow, Brother Qilong, that's amazing!" Yan Shan Shan exclaimed excitedly.
I shook the Copper Coin Sword in my hand, habitually hanging it at my waist, then revealed a bright smile, "Of course!"
"Shan Shan, you!" Guo Yongjia shouted angrily.
Yan Shan Shan lowered her head under Guo Yongjia's scolding, "It's over, honey, you're being mean to me. I feel like you don't love me anymore."
"He never loved you in the first place!" I hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Because he isn't really your husband; he's someone else in disguise! My relationship with your husband is so good, how could he possibly hurt me? Right?"
This Guo Yongjia was determined to eliminate me but had never shown his dissatisfaction with me in front of Yan Shan Shan. I felt it was necessary to take advantage of this point.
At that moment, Yan Shan Shan indeed looked a bit doubtful. She glanced at Guo Yongjia in front of her and quickly dismounted.
"Shan Shan, what are you doing?" Guo Yongjia panicked and said, "I'm your husband! Don't listen to him!"
"Are you really my husband?" Yan Shan Shan questioned. "Then do you know how I fell in love with you?"
"Of course I know!" Guo Yongjia said eagerly. "You once said that ever since you saw me, you've dreamed every night of me riding a White Horse to save you!"
I was slightly taken aback. Damn it! Did this Guo Yongjia actually use dream manipulation to win over Yan Shan Shan?
"Then do you know... know... know why we don't have children?" Yan Shan Shan said with teary eyes.
Guo Yongjia was caught off guard, but seeing the expression on Yan Shan Shan's face as she finally resolved the situation made him suspicious again. He then calmly said, "Two years after we got married, we went to the hospital for a check-up, and because of me, I am infertile due to acquired causes!"
Infertility can be divided into two types: congenital and acquired. I once thought Guo Yongjia was unable to conceive and doubted my own abilities, but I had no girlfriend to verify that. I figured that in our line of work, unless one had accumulated a lot of good karma, it would be impossible to have offspring; this falls under acquired infertility.
"Honey!" At that moment, Yan Shan Shan suddenly cried, and White Horse also disappeared at that time. She threw herself into Guo Yongjia's arms, crying heart-wrenchingly, "Seeing Liu Yiyi's child makes me really want a baby."
"I know I let you down," Guo Yongjia said as he held Yan Shan Shan. "You can blame me all you want! Sigh!"
"No, I'm not blaming you," Yan Shan Shan hurriedly replied. "Promise me we can adopt a child, okay? I really want a baby."
Guo Yongjia shot me a disgusted glance but then nodded in agreement with Yan Shan Shan.
I suddenly realized that perhaps Guo Jia's death was also related to Yan Shan Shan. It was very likely that Yan Shan Shan wanted a child so badly and constantly compared herself to Liu Yiyi and Guo Yang, which led Guo Yongjia to act impulsively and cause Guo Jia's death. He might have even bound Guo Jia's soul to use it as a tool against me.
"You two continue talking," Murong Duoduo suddenly said. "I'll take him and leave first."
Yan Shan Shan then realized there were still outsiders present. She hurriedly got up from Guo Yongjia's embrace and nodded at me, saying, "Brother Qilong, I'm sorry about what happened last time."
I couldn't care less about that! Right now, I just wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible. I quickly said, "It's fine; I also have my faults. I'm leaving now; you two take your time."
But at that moment, Guo Yongjia suddenly said, "Shan Shan, you've mistaken them for people; they are monsters, demons! I'm going to kill them!"
