Chapter Thirty: Stepping into the Dream Realm

  But how is it that little girl again? Lan Zhiyuan took a deep breath. It seems that the little girl still holds a grudge about that matter, and as soon as she gets the chance, she will lead outsiders who don't know the truth into that room, making them suffer the same pain as her.

  It's bad! That young man named Xiao Chen will probably be taken to that place by the little girl. And once he enters that strange house, he's done for! No way! Absolutely not! Lan Zhiyuan subconsciously rushed towards the door, but stopped as soon as his feet reached the threshold. To know that the house was too eerie and too terrifying, at this time, even if he went himself, what could he do? It would just be sending another life to waste!

  Xiao Chen little brother, I really owe you an apology!

  "Grandpa..." Looking at the slowly retreating Lanzhiyuan, Lan Yun anxiously said, "Grandpa, Xiao Chen is a great benefactor of our Pingquan Village, we can't just stand by and do nothing!"

  "Good granddaughter, that house is terrifying, you know it. Since we can't save the young man named Xiao Chen's life, why sacrifice another one?" Lan Zhiiyan hung his head in despair and slowly sat down.

  "I never thought my grandfather would be such a person! Grandfather, I'm asking you, where did the courage to scold Lingyun just now go?" At this time, Lan Yun's face was full of sarcasm. This is one's own grandfather, who was so righteous and heroic when scolding his beloved, but when truly facing danger, he appears to be so weak and timid.

  Grandpa, you're so hypocritical! You've let me down so much!

  "Grandpa, since you don't dare go! Then I'll go myself!" Lan Yun shouted loudly and rushed out the door.

  "Yun'er, you dare!" Lan Zhiyuan shouted sternly. But Lan Yun was completely unmoved. Helpless, Lan Zhiyuan could only grit his teeth. Before Lan Yun had taken two steps back, a wave of dizziness washed over her. Then, she slowly fell to the ground.

  "Am I really being too harsh on Lingyun?" Lan Zhuiyan slowly withdrew his right hand from Lan Yun's neck. He had always scolded Lingyun for being weak and losing face for Pingquan Village, but he had never thought that when faced with danger, he was no different?

  But at this time, Xiao Chen felt very puzzled. Didn't he fall asleep? But how did he suddenly come to this strange place: everywhere he looked was foggy and white. He couldn't see anything and couldn't hear a sound, it was quiet, so quiet that all he could hear was his own heartbeat. 'Thud, thud!'

  "Is anyone there? If so, respond!" Xiao Chen couldn't help but shout. But no one responded.

  "Is anyone there?" The vast expanse of white made Xiao Chen's breathing more and more urgent, but it was still dead silence. What kind of place is this? Xiao Chen's body began to tremble.

  Wait, wasn't I asleep? Since I'm already asleep, everything here can be easily explained. It's just a dream! Xiao Chen finally understood and smiled lightly. It's just a dream, that makes things much easier. As long as people get enough sleep, they will naturally wake up. Since we are in a dream now, let's take this opportunity to have some fun!

  Because he wanted to understand the ins and outs of things, the fear in his heart also slowly dissipated. Xiao Chen smiled and walked forward with big strides. What was waiting for him up ahead? He was full of curiosity.

  As I walked further ahead, the fog seemed to dissipate a lot. In the distance, a gigantic building appeared vaguely. As I approached, it got closer and closer. Xiao Chen discovered that this was a magnificent and majestic palace, rich and grandiose. From any angle, it was breathtakingly beautiful, making one sigh in admiration. This was an astonishing palace made of massive stones piled up, with smooth white surfaces, warm and jade-like. Xiao Chen had to lift his head to see the top of the hall. Here, the milky white fog still lingered, swirling around the palace, giving it a dreamlike quality. Underfoot was a wide white stone staircase that stretched out before him. Beside the stairs were various mythical beast carvings, arranged in an orderly fashion, exuding a powerful and stern aura that made one dare not look directly at them.

  Along the stone steps, Xiao Chen's footsteps finally entered the palace. At this time, a dozen or so young girls in their 20s walked out from inside, these girls in their prime were slender and elegant, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and their movements were so dignified and graceful.

  "Master, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" The beautiful maidens faced Xiao Chen and bowed in unison. A fragrance unique to maidens wafted up to Xiao Chen's nose, making him feel slightly intoxicated. This dream was too realistic, and also too interesting!

  "Why did you call me master?" Xiao Chen was now extremely interested.

  "Oracle!" A smiling girl with a face as lovely as a lotus flower said softly. The girl had a delicate face like a water lily, slender eyebrows like faint blue smoke, and cherry lips that seemed to be dripping with sweetness.

  "Oracle?" Xiao Chen also smiled. He didn't expect the girl in this dream to give him such a mysterious and profound answer. Forget it, let's just say it's an oracle! It's just a dream after all, why take it so seriously?

  "What's your name, miss?" The other person's elegant and refined demeanor also made Xiao Chen become more refined.

  "My name is Yuexian. As for them..." The girl continued to say sweetly, her pale jade-like fingers pointing at the other beautiful girls.

  Ling Yun, Ao Shan, Ru Xue, Ya Lin, Ya Nan, Meng Yao... One by one, these beautiful names caused Xiao Chen's imagination to run wild, to the point where he didn't even notice that the girl named Yue Yan was holding his hand. The many beautiful girls welcomed Xiao Chen into the palace like a multitude of stars surrounding the moon.

  In the palace, a golden light shines brightly. Beautiful maidens surround Xiao Chen, singing and dancing. The song is as melodious as heavenly music, the dance is as elegant as an immortal fairy's. The fragrance of cosmetics wafts through the palace, everywhere is filled with the sound of birdsong and dance. At this moment, Xiao Chen looks like he is in a trance. Under Yuexia's invitation, he also joins in the revelry, unable to control his emotions.

  When Xiao Chen felt tired, weary, and exhausted, a variety of delicious dishes were placed in front of him by the beautiful girl. "Master, please drink this cup." Yuexiang stretched out her slender jade hand, handing over a cup. The amber-colored liquid looked so enticing.

  Xiao Chen smiled and took a sip, tilting his head back. A feeling of comfort that couldn't be described spread through every inch of his skin, causing each pore to relax. The fine wine was as fragrant as an immortal's brew, leaving an indescribable sense of beauty lingering on Xiao Chen's tongue, unwilling to dissipate. He looked at the exquisite dishes, picked up a piece, and that indescribable wonderful feeling seemed to make every taste bud on his tongue burst into bloom.

  "I really hope this dream doesn't wake up too early!" Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled.

  In Pingquan Village, the red glow of dawn had slowly dispersed the night's mist. After a deep sleep, Liu Lan felt refreshed and full of energy. However, she found that Xiao Chen still hadn't gotten out of bed. Listening to the soft snores coming from Xiao Chen's bedroom, Liu Lan smiled, "He's such a lazy ghost!"

  This man, in order to save himself, suffered such severe injuries, let him rest for a few more hours! thought Liu Lanru. However, when the sun climbed to the center of the sky, Xiao Chen's snores continued. Liu Lanru was getting restless, forget it, maybe he was just too tired!

  When the sunset's afterglow turned into beautiful clouds at the horizon, Xiao Chen still hadn't woken up, and his loud snores continued. What was going on? Liu Lan's heart couldn't help but feel anxious.

  Xiao Chen was infatuated, drunk. He had never experienced such a truly beautiful and seductive dream. Fine wine and delicious food, surrounded by beauties, in this dream, these self-proclaimed servants, when facing him, were always so respectful, and when facing any of his requests, they never refused!

  "We can't disobey your orders, because you are the master here, everything here belongs to you, including us. So, please make your demands boldly, we will definitely satisfy you!" Yueru said.

  Can satisfy any of his own requirements? This really makes one's imagination run wild. Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head.

  "Right. Yuexiang, I've been with all of you for so long, but why are you the only one willing to talk to me? While others never want to say an extra word to me?" Xiaochen, who was living a life like an emperor, decided to tease this lovely girl in front of him.

  "They... they are just naturally like that!" Xiao Chen never expected that his casual remark would cause this beautiful girl's face to change color so drastically. But Yuexian's flustered expression was completely reflected in Xiao Chen's eyes.

  "Is it because of his personality? Such a personality is not good!" Xiao Chen faintly felt that the other party was still hiding something! In his own dream, the people in the dream actually had secrets to hide from him, and the game had already become dull and uninteresting.

  At this time, Liu Lan was about to cry. It had been three days since tonight, but Xiao Chen still showed no signs of waking up. Standing at the head of Xiao Chen's bed, Liu Lan gazed at the man. His complexion was still so rosy, his breathing still so steady. But why hadn't he woken up yet? After tonight, it would be exactly three days. No matter how tired a person was, after such a long rest, they should have woken up!

  "Liu Lan, don't worry. Xiao Chen might just be too tired, let's wait a bit longer, this kind of thing has happened before!" The little girl named Xiangyu gently consoled.

  "Xiang Yu, what's this about something having happened before?" Linglan, being clever, immediately grasped the hidden information in Xiaoyu's words.

  "This...this..." The little girl stammered and didn't dare look into Liu Lan's eyes.

  "Tell me, quickly tell me, what's going on?" Liu Lan anxiously grabbed Xiang Yu's small hand and shouted.

  "Liu Lan sister, don't scold me, I...I don't know!" Liu Lan's fierce expression made the little girl cry.

  In the dream, Xiao Chen was still chatting with Yuexia. Yuexia's elegant demeanor and gentle speech gave Xiao Chen a feeling of being in spring breeze. And Xiao Chen's warm and elegant words also greatly infected the other person. As they spent more time together, their mutual affection grew deeper. "Yuexia, I've already enjoyed this life, I think it's time for me to wake up from this beautiful dream!" Facing Yuexia with a smile like a flower, Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment before saying so.

  "What? Master, you want to leave here? Don't go!" The smile immediately disappeared from the beautiful girl's face. "Master, please tell me, what is it that makes you dissatisfied here? As long as you say it out loud, we will change it right away, just please don't leave!"

  What a realistic dream! Even the expressions of people in this dream are so real. Xiao Chen sighed, this is obviously just a dream, but everything here gives him an extremely realistic feeling, including the girl in front of him. Since his birth, he has had countless dreams, but never one as realistic and romantic as this. In this dream, all his desires can be fulfilled without him having to pay any price at all. However, a life that is too comfortable will destroy one's motivation (not to mention that this is just a beautiful dream), and this is definitely not the life he wants.

  No matter how beautiful the dream is, it's still different from reality. In reality, I have my own things to do and my own questions to answer. Xiao Chen sighed, "Yuexiang, although this is just an illusory dream, I still want to thank you all for bringing me unprecedented happiness and joy, I feel very fulfilled. Thank you!" Xiao Chen bowed deeply to the crowd.
