"My heart's desire...... It's already being done. Wei Xingzhen replied.

Feng Yan quietly looked at the person beside her.

It's strange to say, obviously not long ago, he was a complete stranger, but at some moments in the relationship, Feng Yan felt inexplicably familiar with this person.

Or rather...... Tacit understanding?

"Let's talk about the matter of staying in the mountain." Feng Yan retracted her gaze and looked at the distant mountains again, "Even if you stay, you have to finish Du Tianshi's commission first, and then look at Your Majesty's will." ”

"Hmm." Wei Xingzhen nodded, "No hurry." ”

Suddenly, Feng Yan suddenly felt something strange from the wooden bell tied to the little fox, and Wei Xingzhen obviously felt it too.

The two of them looked in the same direction for a while—in just a moment, the little fox had already escaped from Feng Xiaoqi's house, and rushed to the gate of the Tianji Palace, and then rushed down the mountain as if fleeing.

"Xiao Qi should be asleep at this time." Feng Yan said softly, "Otherwise, if she sees the fox running away, she will definitely chase it out." ”

"I'll go, I'll be back in a moment." Wei Xingzhen stood up, and he said in a low voice, "You rest early, there are probably many things to do tomorrow." ”

"Well," Feng Yan bowed lightly to Wei Xingzhen, "There is Lord Lao Wei." ”

……

This night, Feng Yan didn't sleep well.

She woke up from the familiar tiredness one after another, each time in a cold sweat.

However, every time she woke up tonight, Feng Yan immediately closed her eyes again—hoping to fall back into a dream as soon as possible.

Unlike when she woke up and didn't remember anything, almost every nightmare of this night left some faint impression in her mind.

In each dream, she saw a shadowy shadow that was not clear repeatedly, like a dark green flame.

The flames in the dream were like fireflies at first, then gradually filled, and finally became as high as a mountain, blazing and fierce—but Feng Yan still recognized the person at a glance.

This is the Dryad.

Feng Yan still can't forget the first time she met this tree demon, even if its demonic aura was muddy and dark at that time, and it was directly defeated in the hands of Peach Blossom Guard, it is said that it should not know any camouflage techniques, Feng Yan still did not feel the love and hatred of even a little bit of "demon" from its body.

It's all the emotions that a "person" would have—deep, complex, intense emotions.

However, the dryad who came back in his dream today had not a wisp of mortal breath left on his body, only a strange and extremely fishy smell, like rot.

The blazing fireworks quickly burned Feng Yan's body, engulfing her whole body.

Feng Yan could feel the strong killing intent from the other party, but the sharper the anger, the more she didn't care.

Although the pain in the dream has an incomparable sense of reality, it is a real and false thing.

She knew too well what this trick was - many goblins who could fall asleep would do it, first using nightmares to make the person concerned panic and lose their minds, and the monsters would have a chance to take advantage of it and really hunt everything on the other side.

Feng Yan didn't know how the other party managed to sneak into his divine consciousness through the dream realm, but it seemed that this was already the limit of what this dryad could do at the moment.

"Why—" A young, shrill female voice came from the flames, "why aren't you—not afraid?"

Before the words fell, Feng Yan heard dense echoes from all directions, and countless shrill and immature voices suddenly followed by screams.

- Why aren't you afraid?

- Why not be afraid!

- I'm afraid!

The sounds were like reverberating swarms, noisy and harsh.

But she stood her ground in the turmoil.

"My Doom...... Not this year."

Feng Yan raised her head.

"What's more, you are not mentioned in Bai Wuji's hexagram, so it can be seen that what you did is ...... to me It doesn't matter at all."

The dark green flames suddenly turned into red flames, and Feng Yan heard countless mournful screams coming from farther and deeper places.

A flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she ran straight ahead without warning.

……

"Ah Yan, Ah Yan—"

In one of her last awakenings, she heard her name being called, and she opened her eyes.

Wei Xingzhen clamped her hand tightly until Feng Yan began to cough, and then slowly let go.

She patted her heart with some difficulty, gasping for breath.

There was a tingling pain in her palm, and Feng Yan lowered her head, only to find that her palm had been scratched out of blood by her own nails.

It must have been when Fang Cai was dreaming, and he grasped it too hard......

"Are you having nightmares again?" Wei Xingzhen asked.

"Hmm......" Feng Yan nodded, "What...... It's time."

"Yin Shi."

Feng Yan raised her head and found that the sky outside had taken on a hazy blue.

She got up and got out of bed with Wei Xingzhen's support, then stumbled to the wall and pushed open the window to the east.

The early morning wind blew, Feng Yan looked at the dark green pine and cypress in the distance, "It's ...... nearby"

"What's nearby?" Wei Xingzhen asked, "Or is it the Dryad?" ”

Feng Yan nodded, but in an instant, she frowned again.

"That's not right...... Gone. ”

Not far away, but suddenly disappeared, like a phantom in the sun, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a puff of green smoke drifting away.

……

In the room, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen were both sitting on the couch, and Wei Xingzhen was bowing her head to give medicine to Feng Yan's palm.

"Why are you so hard?" Wei Xingzhen's brows furrowed tightly, "It made you do this?" ”

Feng Yanwan, "If it can control my body, it will directly break my neck......

Wei Xingzhen glanced at Feng Yan - what's so funny about this?

Feng Yan put away her smiling face and whispered to Wei Xingzhen about what happened last night.

It's ridiculous to say, these pinch marks on her hands are not accidentally left by the struggle, on the contrary, she repeatedly reminds herself to stay awake and not to open her eyes to prevent them from waking up completely.

"Why don't you wake yourself up?"

"I'd like to keep it a little longer." Feng Yan replied.

"What do you keep it for?"

"In my last dream, I was so close to it." Feng Yan said softly, "I think the Heavenly Master is not right, it is not a 'spirit', or there are some cores in its body that the 'spirit' does not have, I saw it, and almost touched it-"

The force in Wei Xingzhen's hand increased a little, Feng Yan trembled slightly, and almost immediately withdrew his hand.

"I thought you weren't afraid of pain at all?" Wei Xingzhen asked with a frown.

Feng Yan smiled, "I'm fine, this little hurt ......"

Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door outside the house, "Sister? ”

Feng Yan looked out the door - it was Xiao Qi.

"Sister...... Are you awake? Feng Xiaoqi's anxious voice came, "I saw the lights in your room, so guess if you've woken up......"

Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen glanced at each other, and both of them subconsciously remembered the futon that Wei Xingzhen had put on the ground and had not yet put away.

"Xiao Qixian waits." Feng Yan replied, "I'll come." ”
