Chapter 45 Nightmare

Careful calculation showed that the Heavenly Maiden had spent far more time in the Trial Law Realm than Wei Yuan. Therefore, her memories would disappear more slowly, and she would be subjected to memory scouring for a longer period. On the other hand, the process of memory loss was like replaying everything from the past before her eyes.

Naturally, if you want to pour water out, the water must have a flowing process within the container.

This led to the constant replay of those enormously impactful scenes for the girl from the previous era—meetings, encounters, partings, followed by her own vigil at the tombstone. The long years were witnessed by the people of Jiangnan Dao, and finally, she inquired of Jinshan Temple's Fahai if there would be a next life.

The girl felt that if she really were to meet that Master Fahai again, she might not be able to help but run away, covering her face. Just thinking about Wei Yuan's appearance in the illusion, even the Kunlun Heavenly Maiden felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. How could he be so direct?

Then she realized a very serious problem.

Wouldn't he still remember?

But perhaps it was just a dream, a dream she had, and it had nothing to do with Yuan.

Yes, it was obviously just a dream.

She would forget it after another sleep.

The Heavenly Maiden carefully weaved a lie.

Look… the Yuan in reality had experienced many trials and would not do such a thing.

And to say such things in front of her elders, or at least her elders in the dream, was not like him at all. It must be a lie, caused by that General Kua Lin, which led to such a nonsensical dream. The Heavenly Maiden kept hypnotizing herself, and her thoughts and logic were proper and reasonable…

Even so, the girl still subconsciously imagined a scene. Perhaps it was sunset, perhaps afternoon, preferably a snowy winter day. Wei Yuan was sitting in the museum, seemingly reading a book, then looked up at her. Beside her were her elders, the Queen Mother of the West. Yuan put down the book, looked at the Queen Mother of the West, his eyebrows raised: "If you want me to join Kunlun…"

"It's not entirely impossible."

Then he pointed to the herself beside him and said, "Marry her…"

Clang!!!

A huge sound. At this moment, outside, Qin Yuan was still dreaming of kicking Wohu off Kunlun Mountain, having just reached the point where Wohu voluntarily jumped off the mountain, when she suddenly shuddered and woke up in fright. She wiped her mouth, quickly stood up, and ran into the bedroom:

"Jue, you…"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Qin Yuan fell silent.

She carefully looked at the spiderweb-like cracks on the wall, recalling the Heavenly Maiden's fair and beautiful hands.

After a long silence, looking at the Heavenly Maiden wrapped in a blanket like a rolled-up towel, with only her head exposed,

"Jue, what are you…"

"I… I had a nightmare…"

The girl wore a gentle and elegant smile.

Her fair face was as usual.

Her ears were red.

The location of the Women's Kingdom was currently in winter, with cold and dry weather.

Qin Yuan seemed to see wisps of white steam coming out of her black hair, floating up like steam rising from a boiling tofu pot in a cave dwelling. Anyone who wore glasses and leaned close would definitely have a layer of fog on them.

Some impulse almost made Qin Yuan blurt out what was in her heart.

Jue emphasized with a gentle smile, "I just had a nightmare…"

"Is… is that so."

Qin Yuan looked at the cracks on the wall and decided to rationally restrain her instinct to be nosy.

Her great ambition was not yet achieved; how could a hero die?!

She wasn't planning to transform into a bee cake just yet.

This was called strategic cowardice.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qin Yuan was relieved, turned and walked out, seeing a mid-level female officer of the Women's Kingdom standing outside. The officer, also tall and heroic, raised her eyebrows and said politely, "We are here on the orders of General Kua'e Liuyue."

She handed over a letter.

The letter mainly expressed gratitude to Jue for coming to help.

Although Kua Lin's injuries did not require Jue to treat, the Women's Kingdom acknowledged this favor. A banquet had been set up tonight, and they hoped that Qin Yuan and the Heavenly Maiden could attend. Qin Yuan frowned. From Kua'e Liuyue's standpoint, it was probably mainly about gratitude and apology.

Yes, apology.

After all, that General Kua Lin had done such a thing.

Qin Yuan thought to herself.

Although she had been just a bee from beginning to end, Qin Yuan naturally began to transform into an emotional and psychological analysis expert, like every single person in modern society. She immediately judged that such a thing would cause a psychological impact on Jue and was a hostile act, and she was about to refuse.

"I…"

But before she could finish speaking, the Heavenly Maiden had already climbed out of the 'towel roll'.

Or rather… had walked out of the bedroom.

The girl tidied the hair at her temples, accepted the colorful letter with the General's Mansion seal, and after glancing at the contents, smiled and nodded, her voice soft, and said, "Thank you for General Kua'e's kindness. We will definitely be there on time."

"Then we won't disturb you any longer."

The two female officers breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and turned to leave.

Qin Yuan was stunned, then looked at the Heavenly Maiden playing with the letter, and said, "Aren't you angry?"

"You were clearly angry before."

The Heavenly Maiden looked at her in surprise, then smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on…"

She pressed her fingers to her brow and smiled, "The anger suddenly disappeared."

Then the Heavenly Maiden quickly reacted, shook her head, and said:

"No, I wasn't angry at all."

"Let's prepare a bit for the banquet tonight."

Qin Yuan opened her mouth, unable to speak, and fell into a state of extreme contradiction.

Could it be that all Kunlun Heavenly Maidens were so good-tempered?

Or was it that she didn't really care that much about that Wohu?

Hmm… in that case, the plan to kick Wohu off Kunlun Mountain would be much easier.

Mission accomplished!

At this moment, the Heavenly Maiden suddenly turned her head and said, "By the way, Qin Yuan, how did the walls in the house get cracked?"

"We'll have to find some craftsmen to repair them later."

Qin Yuan was stunned: "??!"

Wait…

Weren't those walls smashed by you?

You actually forgot?!

………………

Qin Yuan couldn't understand why the Heavenly Maiden would forget that she had smashed the walls herself, and was very conflicted. "You're the wind, not a fish. Besides, even fish don't only have seven seconds of memory. If that were the case, how many jokes would be made."

But judging by her appearance, she didn't seem to be joking.

With a stomach full of doubts, Qin Yuan and the Heavenly Maiden attended the banquet. In the garden of the Women's Kingdom's Royal Palace, they met General Kua Lin. Although she had previously claimed to be the Heavenly Maiden's emotional advisor and was extremely indignant, when she saw Kua Lin, Qin Yuan chickened out, yes, and very decisively chickened out.

Kua Lin wore a well-tailored outfit with sharp lines, and the corners of her eyes were painted with a bright red eyeshadow that was difficult for ordinary people to pull off.

Her temperament was sharp and heroic, and she also possessed the dignity and majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Even Qin Yuan's own queen couldn't compare to this woman.

"Heavenly Maiden, you've come. I was wondering if you wouldn't come."

"The banquet tonight will have the best chefs in the entire Women's Kingdom, but of course, they might still be inferior to that guy."

Kua Lin nodded with a smile, and in her eyes, there was naturally the aggressive aura that was unique to generals, just like when she knocked that potter unconscious and brought him back to the wedding. However, she naturally restrained herself much more at the moment, but also added a bit of grandeur and dominance.

Kua'e Liuyue next to her also had a headache.

The ancestor was at it again…

Kua'e Liuyue's original intention was to thank the Heavenly Maiden for her previous help, and to apologize to some extent, and to ease the conflict between her and the ancestor Kua Lin. Previously, when mentioning Kua Lin's old friend, the Heavenly Maiden's emotional changes, although subtle, were not without flaws. It was obvious that the Heavenly Maiden had some feelings for the ancestor's old friend.

And before, Kua'e Liuyue had already asked the queen for orders.

The result was beyond doubt.

When it was confirmed that the human race currently possessed the power to kill one of the four fiends, Taowu, it was only natural to form an alliance with the Yanhuang clan. As for the request from Kua Lin, the queen naturally welcomed it. If they could form a marital relationship, it would naturally be better for both parties. She also knew something about what happened back then, and immediately allowed the order, wishing to maintain good relations forever.

At this moment, they had already begun selecting candidates, and when the time was right, they would find a way to look for fissures to go to the human world.

Therefore, Kua'e Liuyue felt a bit guilty towards the Heavenly Maiden.

At this time, Qin Yuan had also been secretly sizing up the Heavenly Maiden.

Faced with Kua Lin's question, the Heavenly Maiden didn't know why, but there wasn't the slightest ripple in her heart, as if some voice sounded in her ears, but she couldn't hear it clearly. But although she couldn't hear it clearly, she felt inexplicably at ease. Facing the heroic woman in front of her, she only smiled and replied:

"Indeed, his craftsmanship is much better."

Her temperament was gentle and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn't mean to counterattack in her words, which made people feel a sense of powerlessness from punching the air.

Qin Yuan opened her mouth.

Kua'e Liuyue was stunned.

The two suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar.

"…………This is, fearless? Or that kind of…"

Qin Yuan racked her brains.

Suddenly she understood, clenched her right fist, and slammed it into the palm of her left hand, dumbfounded.

Oh, right!

Isn't this the feeling when the champion at the sports meeting says to the second place, "You played well"?

The so-called aura in TV dramas?

The aura of the first wife!

As long as I'm alive, you're all trash!

But why…

…………………………

The human world.

The Queen Mother of the West saw them off with "The first level has been broken, and there will be ten days of rest to recover the consumption of true spirit." Wei Yuan and Nujiao left Kunlun, and the great monk Yuanjue, who had been kicked out of the hospital, returned to the museum. A ray of light flew directly from the sky, like a bird returning to the forest, and instantly entered Yuanjue's brow.

The great monk's pupils shrank.

But his Buddhist cultivation seemed useless, and he did not stop it.

The sound of a Buddhist bell rang in his ears, and the last Qiantang tide he heard in his previous life sounded.

The Qiantang River tide is coming.

Only today do I know who I am.

At the same time, the memory of living with the great thief and watching the red-clothed girl live a lonely life also silently emerged…

The white-haired woman asked him.

Will there be a next life?

He said, "There will be."

The monk said to himself in his heart.

If there is a next life.

This poor monk will be your marriage officiant.

The fate originated in Jiangnan, and the fate is set in Jiangnan.

………………

Jiangnan Dao · Jinshan Temple.

This was an ancient temple, built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it had been more than 1,600 years old to this day. It was a very old temple. Emperor Wu of Liang established a solemn and grand water and land ritual in Jinshan, and it was once one of the four famous temples in Shenzhou. Although it was slightly declining now, it was because of the story of the White Snake Xu Xian.

This place had a great weight in the hearts of worldly men and women.

However, where was there any White Snake Xu Xian…

The sweeping monk looked at the men and women who came here to seek love, and smiled in his heart.

Suddenly, a stream of light flew across the sky. The monk was surprised and thought he had misheard. At this moment, he faintly heard a neighing sound. Looking around, he saw that the Jinshan Pagoda seemed to sway slightly.

The monk's pupils shrank.

He suddenly remembered the words left by the ancestor.

Suppress for thousands of years, and use cultivation to feed back Jiangnan.

From Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty to now…

Could it be true?

The monk's hand trembled, and he vaguely seemed to see a huge white snake.

…………

In the museum.

Yuanjue suddenly opened his eyes.

He gradually recalled everything.

He only felt a little emotional in his heart. He did not cultivate for the next life, but he had the opportunity to have a next life by chance. The world was impermanent, but that was all. However, for some reason, the faces of the great thief and the famous constable were always covered with a layer of veil, and he could not see them clearly. The more he thought hard, the harder it was to recall, and he frowned for a long time, but he gained nothing, and could only sigh in his heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Yuanjue put aside his distracting thoughts and got up to open the door.

He saw Wei Yuan.

As if a layer of mist was broken, the great thief in his memory suddenly had a face.

The monk put his hands together, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Amitabha…"

So it was you.

ps: This is a buffer plot between two plots.

The event is live… everyone can go to the event center to see the four Zhenyao cards for free.

In addition, because of the event, the daily routine of touching fish may be broken. I hope to be able to update three times a day as much as possible without returning to the underworld schedule. The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. Well, maybe, there must always be hope.
