Chapter 250: Entering Her Dream
Xiao Yun arrived outside the courtyard next to his car. Looking inside, he saw the two of them huddled together in fear.
"Why aren't you getting out of the car?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
Cheng Hu stammered, "Brother, without your orders, we... we didn't dare to get out!"
Damn!
Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. He remembered how this guy used to swagger down the street, acting all high and mighty, and now he had turned into such a coward.
"Come on, it's time to eat!" Xiao Yun opened the car door.
The two awkwardly followed Xiao Yun into the house. Xiao Yun pointed at them and said to Old Village Chief, "This guy is Cheng Hu, my half-brother, and that one is my sister-in-law. These two have caused some trouble outside, so I brought them here today to hand them over to you, Old Village Chief, for some guidance so they can learn to behave properly in the future!"
Old Village Chief was a straightforward man. Upon hearing that these two were related to Xiao Yun, he patted his chest and said loudly, "No problem! I'm all alone here anyway; my house is quite empty. They can stay with me from now on!"
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for dinner.
Qiu Yue and her mother entered the kitchen and quickly brought out a table full of dishes. Yun Laogen brought out a jar of homemade liquor from the mountains and poured each person a bowl. The aroma of the food filled the air, the fragrance of the wine was intoxicating, and combined with the unique enthusiasm of the mountain people, the table became lively. Even Cheng Hu and Red Sister, who had been very reserved just moments ago, appeared excited.
Old Village Chief raised his bowl of liquor and said, "Today should be considered our opening toast for Xiao Yun's Beauty Perfume Production Base. Come on everyone, raise your bowls and take a big drink!"
Ding ding ding...
A few bowls clinked together...
After dinner, the moon had risen over the eastern hills. Everyone had chatted for a while, and the Old Village Chief left with Cheng Hu and Red Sister. Geng Xingsheng was thinking about the work that needed to start tomorrow; he had to hurry home to gather the team and discuss the division of labor, so he bid farewell and left.
Cao Ni threw a glance at Yun Laogen and went to rest in the bedroom, leaving only Qiu Yue and Xiao Yun in the room.
Qiu Yue fixed her gaze on Xiao Yun for a moment before entering the room, and Xiao Yun followed her inside. Qiu Yue asked, "Where are you sleeping tonight?"
"Uh, you sleep on the bed, and I'll just sleep on the sofa next to you!" Xiao Yun replied with a smile.
Qiu Yue had warned him before; she could love him, and he could like her, but in this lifetime, they could never share a bed.
Xiao Yun understood very well that she didn't truly refuse to accept him in bed; it was simply impossible for them to be together. Otherwise, both would fall victim to the poison of the Death Flower.
With his current cultivation level, he couldn't eliminate the Death Flower Poison for her. Although using Bone Painting and Bone Replacement was quite effective, it would completely erase her memories from before her amnesia. He could only wait—wait for her memories to return and see if a miracle might happen.
As long as she regained her memory, he would know who had used the Death Flower to refine her bones. At that time, no matter what price he had to pay, he would find that person and seek a way to break the Death Flower Poison affecting her.
Qiu Yue rolled her eyes playfully and smiled sweetly, "Why don't you sleep on the bed? I'll take the sofa. You city folks are delicate; you can't compare to us mountain people!"
Xiao Yun laughed, "What are you talking about? I'm just a country bumpkin. Look at my build; I could roll around in the snow for two nights without any problem!"
"Is it really that impressive?" Qiu Yue asked with a smile.
Someone, with a spirited expression, said, "Of course, my masculine aura can repel all Evil Spirits in the world. Even ghosts are scared to retreat when they see me. To be honest, my strong masculine energy has its downsides as well..."
"Ha," Qiu Yue rolled her eyes at him and laughed, "What downsides could there be?"
Xiao replied, "They say men are yang and women are yin; yin and yang attract each other. It's a universal truth. So sometimes when I walk down the street, I don't know how many beautiful women come rushing towards me, filled with affection and deep feelings. To put it elegantly, they want to be my Fragrant Red Sleeve, or to put it crudely, they want to be my Bed Warmer... Ah, it's really annoying!"
"You really know how to brag!" Qiu Yue laughed heartily at him. Her laughter was like flowers blooming in the morning sun—charming and radiant, indescribably alluring.
Looking at her smiling face, Xiao Yun was momentarily stunned; she was so beautiful!
He couldn't help but murmur, "Autumn Moon, can I hug you?"
"Um, no... but don't think too much about it..." Qiu Yue shyly replied, unable to refuse.
Xiao Yun said, "I'll listen to you and not think too much!" He sat down in front of Qiu Yue, reaching out to pull her into his embrace.
The warmth enveloped him; her skin was as soft as water, and the unique fragrance of a maiden wafted through the air... To say he wasn't thinking anything would be a lie; at that moment, Xiao Yun wished he could strip her clothes off immediately and press her beneath him.
But he wouldn't dare do such a thing.
Qiu Yue's eyes were slightly closed, her lips curved into a smile, her body almost curled up as she gently trembled in Xiao Yun's embrace.
The moonlight outside the window flowed like water, and a cool breeze slipped in from outside, carrying the essence of the night in the mountains.
Xiao Yun gently stroked Qiu Yue's fragrant shoulder and realized that at some point, she had fallen asleep in his embrace. A faint smile graced her face, and she looked so sweetly asleep!
What kind of dream could she be having? Just as Xiao Yun's thoughts began to wander, he noticed Qiu Yue's delicate brows furrowing slightly, her beautiful face suddenly filled with sorrow. Her red lips trembled as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, a myriad of troubles weighing heavily on her heart.
What... is going on here?
Could it be that she encountered some troubling matter in her dream?
Xiao Yun suddenly felt the urge to step into her dream and see for himself.
As this thought arose, his curiosity intensified. Xiao Yun quietly circulated the True Spirit, True Distance within him, channeling a strand of Spiritual Energy into his palm. Closing his eyes, he used the Heart Capturing Technique to gently place his hand over her chest.
The Heart Capturing Technique, also known as the Mind Reading Technique, was something Xiao Yun had first utilized on Ouyang Bing, where he saw the curse that Xue Rui had placed on her. Subsequently, he entered her dream in a hotel room and severed the little appendage of that fellow surnamed Xue.
This kind of magic had been recorded in Tang Dynasty novels long ago. Wu Daozi must have been particularly skilled in this technique; otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared within his colorful Heart Pearl, allowing Xiao Yun to use it with such ease.
Many secret techniques of Ancient Martial Arts in Huaxia are often beyond the explanation of modern science. However, there were already scholars in the West who specialized in studying these secrets. It is said that humans are composed of special molecular combinations that can vaporize under specific environmental conditions and a certain Aura, allowing them to disintegrate into gas and quickly reassemble into a physical form, traversing from one time-space to another.
The Mind Reading Technique does not require the disintegration of one's structure; it merely merges one's spirit with another person's thoughts and enters the imagery produced by their mind.
With the Heart Capturing Technique, Xiao Yun swiftly entered Qiu Yue's dream.
However, the scene before him left him astonished.
An endless desert stretched out before him, covered in yellow sand like a vast sea of gold. A gentle breeze swept through, causing waves to ripple across the surface of the desert.
A girl in a white dress stood alone in the vast desert. Her face was as delicate as goose fat, her lips like cherry blossoms, her brows painted with ink, and her eyes as clear as autumn waters, exuding an indescribable softness and grace. Her flowing garments danced lightly in the wind, resembling an emerging lotus flower, ethereal and light.
Suddenly, she turned her slender body towards the sun in the sky, raising her arms high as if trying to fly.
However, she did not ascend into the sky. She quickly lowered her arms and brought her palms together at her chest, adopting a prayer-like posture. Her red lips moved silently, uttering something unknown.
Xiao Yun stepped forward, getting closer to the girl until he was only about ten feet away. He was stunned by her familiar face—Duan Qingxue!
Indeed, it was Duan Qingxue!
"Sister Qingxue!" Xiao Yun exclaimed, his whole body trembling as he rushed forward.
His call startled the girl, and upon recognizing him, she gasped and quickly took several steps back, scolding, "Who are you? Why are you calling me Sister Qingxue?"
Xiao Yun replied, "It's me, Xiao Yun! Sister Qingxue, how could you not recognize me?"
"Shut up! I don't understand what you're saying!" The girl in white said coldly before suddenly waving her long sleeves. A whirlwind of yellow sand formed around them, carrying a fierce killing intent as it rushed towards Xiao Yun...
