Chapter 10: Dreams

I thought that death would take me to a strange place, but I didn't expect it to bring me back to the dream I once had.

It's been seven years since I've been here, and I'm a little overwhelmed when I get used to it when my dreams just disappear, and even insomnia for a while, and then I'm getting used to it.

Walking slowly in this house, I felt that everything was so familiar and yet so unfamiliar. It was the first time I had walked through this courtyard by myself, and the fact that the leader in the black cloak had not appeared, made me feel unaccustomed and uneasy.

As I passed through the atrium, I couldn't help but stop by the flower bed, which was planted with a kind of flower that I had never seen before, they always bloomed brilliantly, never withered, as if waiting for the owner to wake up at any time to appreciate the beauty of their bloom.

Along the multicolored cobblestone path through the cloister of the atrium, there is a separate hall with carved beams hidden in the thick fog, and everything seems to be the same as before.

The furnishings in the hall are also the same as before, the fine dust is not stained, and the blue jade stone platform placed in the center can be faintly seen through the overlapping light veil.

I raised my hand and tentatively touched the light veil in front of me, and like the last dream, the power attached to the light veil was indeed gone, and the veil was lifted with my fingertips.

But the jade platform was empty.

I was startled and hurried to the jade platform.

There was nothing on the jade platform, and the woman who had fallen on it was gone.

I looked around the temple and found nothing, and the man was indeed gone. Looking at the empty jade platform, I was a little dazed, and I couldn't help but wonder if what I had seen was real.

I raised my hand to touch the jade countertop, the smooth and smooth jade countertop not only did not have the slightest cold feeling of jade, but it was as hot as if it had been burned by the flames, I was a little surprised just to take a closer look, but the fluorescence on the jade countertop suddenly rushed towards the palm I put on it.

I was in a hurry to withdraw my hand, but I found that my palm seemed to be glued and could not be withdrawn at all, and those fluorescents seemed to be pulled by something, and instantly gathered around my palm, and quickly drilled into my palm, I was shocked and tried to pull my palm away but it was useless!

As the fluorescence entered, the palm began to burn, followed by the entire arm, and soon the burning sensation spread throughout the body.

I don't know how to describe the sensation at this moment, the fluorescent light was like boiling blood swimming through my body, burning with pain, and this wisp of pain gradually turned into severe pain as the fluorescence gathered more and more and flowed faster and faster.

I shouted and struggled, but there was nothing I could do or answer, and at this moment I especially hoped that the man in black who had been attracting me all this way would show up and help me. However, until the last moment when the tearing pain completely annihilated me and sank into darkness, it was always just me.

"Uh-huh......" I vaguely heard my own roar at the last moment, and wanted to open my eyes to see what was at the end of the darkness, but my eyelids were sinking like lead.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao......"

The constant whispers in my ears were familiar and real, and I could even feel the warm breath on my cheeks as the sound blew on my cheeks, could it be that the man in black heard my cry for help?

I was so excited that I opened my eyes with all my might, and then I felt a white light of thorny wood flash.

"Xiaoxiao, you're awake!"

This time I finally heard the voice clearly, it was Musin's voice, and I saw the person in front of me clearly, as beautiful as ever.

Why is he here? I opened my mouth, but my throat seemed to be glued together, dry and painful, and it was difficult to make a full sound.

Mu Xin handed the glass of water with the straw inserted to my mouth, I bit the straw hard and sucked it hard, the warm water flowed down my throat, the dry pain in my throat was relieved a little, and I drank a few sips in a row before I finally stopped being as uncomfortable as before.

Coughing and feeling like I could make a sound, I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

Mu Xin listened to my question and asked with a slight frown, "Have you been here?"

Hearing his words, I turned my head slightly to look around, and was immediately surprised.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, bright crystal chandeliers, a huge mirror hanging from the snow-white wall, and wardrobes embedded in the wall...... It's not the old mansion in the dream, but it's not Musin's apartment either!

When I thought of Musin's apartment, what had happened before instantly came to mind, and I remembered that I was not only poisoned and injured, but also fell out of the window at the end!

At this moment, the bright sunlight was shining through the transparent glass on the chaise longue in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and I looked around, and a happy and absurd thought surged in my heart, and I looked at Musin with some anxiety and asked tentatively: "Could it be that I am going to die in bliss?"

Hearing my words, Mu Xin's face froze, and then he put the straw back into my mouth a little rudely, and said angrily: "Just like you, Elysium doesn't want you!"

I think it's the most vicious curse I've ever heard, but I don't think it's amazing at the moment, because Musin's words tell me the fact that I'm alive!

At this moment I finally understood that there is nothing better than being alive! I couldn't help but laugh, it was so good!

"Still laughing, it seems that my four days and four nights of care have finally been in vain!"

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, I was in a coma for so long in "four days and four nights"!

"Is this a hospital?" asked him, but the environment really didn't look like a hospital.

Mu Xin glanced at me and said, "Can the hospital treat those injuries you suffered?!"

Yes, I am a demon poison, but not an arsenic mouse drug, it is estimated that it will not be cured if it is sent to the hospital, and it may be dissected and made into a specimen for study, thinking of the appearance of being soaked in formalin, I suddenly shuddered.

I remember that my right leg was poisoned, and I struggled to sit up and lift the quilt, and I was stunned after rolling up my trousers with some trepidation.

The skin of my right leg was white and smooth as usual, not to mention the traces of poisoning, even the opening I cut with a knife was gone, I looked at Mu Xin in shock, "Why is the wound gone?"

Musin also looked at my right leg, and instead of answering my question, he put his hand on my calf, and his slender fingers ran over the leg bone of the calf and finally stopped at the ankle and rubbed it gently.

It was a little itchy, and I couldn't help but shrink and ask Musin, "Why haven't you been hurt at all?"

This is not the first time I have been injured by a monster, but there has never been a time like this time, there is no scar left at all, leaning over to take a closer look, the phoenix jade plate on my neck hangs down, and my eyes are shocked when I pass from above.

The blood-like red in the center of the jade plaque is gone!

I held the jade plaque in front of Mu Xin and said in disbelief: "There was originally a little red in the middle, why is it gone!"

Mu Xin took the jade plaque and held it in his hand and rubbed it gently, and said with a little inexplicable emotion in his voice: "I know"

"You know?" What do you mean?!I pulled the jade plaque back and looked at him suspiciously: "I don't understand!"

Musin looked at me and smiled, "It saved you!"

Does it mean this jade plaque? I remembered the bright light that shot out of this jade phoenix at the critical moment, cutting the monster's doppelganger into a sieve, it was indeed it that saved me, could it be that the red disappeared because of this? but what was the red in the jade plaque? And what happened after I fell out of the window? Was it Mu Xin who saved me? Where is this place? There were too many questions that made my newly awake head a little confused.

Just as I was about to continue asking Mu Xin for clarification, there were two knocks on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and I was even more shocked to see the person standing at the door!

"Why are you here?!"

Xuan Chen held a tray in his hand, walked in with a smile on his face, and said naturally: "Of course I will be here!" said and put the tray on the bedside table, and then naturally sat down on the edge of the bed and brought a bowl of soup from the tray and looked at me with a smile: "Because this is my home."

"What!?" I was completely shocked!

In the face of my shock, Xuan Chen smiled slightly, took a spoonful of soup and held it up in front of me and said softly: "You have been asleep for four days, come, drink some soup to warm your stomach first"

Although the soup in front of me is indeed fragrant, and I am indeed hungry, if I don't understand this confusing situation now, I won't be able to eat it even if the whole banquet is set in front of me!

"I've only slept for four days, not four years, right? What the hell is going on? Can any of you tell me?"

I looked at Xuan Chen, who was still smiling and looking at me with a spoon but didn't say anything, so I looked at Mu Xin again.

Musin's face was a little gloomy, but when he saw me, he turned his head and refused to answer.

I was in a hurry, and I couldn't help but raise my voice and say, "Musin, what the hell is going on?!"

Mu Xin still refused to answer, I couldn't look at Hyun Chen, who was still holding a spoon with a smile on his face, "If he doesn't say it, then you can come"

Xuan Chen looked at me and smiled slightly, "Drink the soup first," and as he spoke, he brought the spoon to my mouth.

At this moment, the behavior of these two people made me a little angry, I turned my head to avoid the hot soup that was fed to my mouth, and said coldly: "I won't eat it if I don't make it clear!" If anyone wants to come with me like this, I will definitely reply to her directly: If you like to eat or not, stay without eating!

But Xuan Chen listened to my words, not only was he not angry, but he actually smiled at me dotingly and said with a little helplessness: "It's really the same as before, I can't take you" said and put the soup bowl back on the bedside table.

Shenma?!! the same as before?!We've only met three times in total, and I don't have anything to say about you before, okay!

But what he said next gave me no time to pursue this past for the time being, I just want to say how this world is so small! How can this thing be so coincidental? And why did I get into all these people and things? Is it really a certain number in the dark???

"This is one of my apartments, and I caught you falling from the twenty-eighth floor the night four days ago, and I can use spells just like you. Also, there is an enchantment around my apartment, and even those emperors are here, and they can't enter without my permission. So, for now, there is no safer place than here, and it is more suitable for your cultivation" Xuan Chen looked at me and asked, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Is there anything else I want to know?!I want to know more, but I opened my mouth but I didn't know where to start, maybe I just woke up and was a little confused, my mouth opened for a long time and finally asked an innocuous question, "Is this why you deliberately approached me?"

Although the question was innocuous and the answer made my heart beat again.

After listening to my question, Xuanchen looked at me affectionately and said gently: "Of course not, I naturally approached you because I liked you and wanted to pursue you!"

Is this a confession? Is it true? Is it yes? Is it right!! Before vanity could jump out and swell a little, my heart was about to pop out!

The originally sunny room almost instantly became dark and gloomy, not to mention the gloomy wind, and Mu Sin's face had changed from gloomy to black.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

I just wanted to stop Mu Xin's irrational behavior under the fence, but I heard Xuan Chen chuckle and said, "Didn't you always know?!"

I've always known it, I just knew!

However, the next moment I was about to react, and he said this not to me, but to Musin, which made me even more confused!

The two of them shouldn't have met more times than me, but listening to the meaning of Xuanchen's words, they seem to have known each other for a long time, and they are quite familiar.

But there is one more thing that confuses me even more, anyone who has just been confessed in front of a third person has not had time to react, and the third person reacts so violently how can it not confuse me!

However, before I could get out of this chaos, Mu Xin's momentum suddenly retracted, and he returned to his usual image of a cold and beautiful young man, only to see him look at Xuan Chen with cold eyes and drop a sentence, "Don't forget your promise!" and turned around and walked out of the room.

"Ouch......" My call was slapped back by the closed door, and my question was slapped back to my heart.

What promises!?what promises?what promises will there be between them?!

I looked at Xuanchen suspiciously, but the other party smiled with a warm face, and I fell back to the bed weakly.

I found that my head, which had only woken up after four days and four nights of sleep, was completely insufficient!

(Musin: Are you sure your mind is fully awake enough?!)

I:...... )
