Chapter Thirty-Three: Reunion and Eternal Farewell

  "What a huge force!" Everyone present was shocked. Everyone's head involuntarily looked in one direction. There, the originally thick wall had now appeared with a huge hole, and the cold night wind was pouring in through it, while the bright moonlight also took the opportunity to drill in.

  "Xiao Chen!" Liu Lan woke up slowly, overjoyed. It was this man again, who had saved her life and everyone else's at the most critical moment. Liu Lan tightly hugged Xiao Chen, sobbing softly in that haven that made her feel so nostalgic.

  "Liu Lan, don't do that!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen's face suddenly turned red. To be honest, in his subconscious mind, he also liked Liu Lan's intimate actions very much, but please! At least after dealing with things here, at least find a secluded place!

  "Xiao Chen, thank you. You've saved me again!" Lan Yun also supported her lover and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen.

  "Xiao Chen, little brother, thank you. By the way, when you were fighting that demon just now, I didn't see the Starstone between your eyebrows." The village chief of Pingquan Village, Lan Zhiyuan, also stepped forward.

  "I haven't gotten that yet!" Xiao Chen said honestly. To the current Xiao Chen, Yao Shi was no longer a strange term.

  "What?!" Lan Zhiyuan was shocked, without the Star Stone, it meant that the opponent had not yet awakened to the Illusory Sea and could not use its power. This handsome young man, relying solely on his physical strength, with just one strike, had taken down that abnormally terrifying Star Stone warrior Huang Liang. He himself had lived for so long, but had never seen someone like this before.

  "Everyone is fine!" But at this time, Xiao Chen didn't have the heart to care about these things. He smiled foolishly.

  "By the way, can anyone tell me what's going on here?"

  "This...this..." Actually, Lan Zhiyuan and the other two didn't know how to start either. Although they all knew about the existence of the strange little house, this was also their first time seeing Huang Liangguai, and what they knew wasn't much more than Xiao Chen's.

  "Master, let me tell you this instead!" A sighing voice came, followed by a wisp of green smoke that slowly condensed into the figure of a slender and beautiful young girl.

  "Are you Yuexiang? The girl from my dreams?" Looking at the dream girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao Chen's jaw almost dropped. Was this what they meant by "dreams come true"?

  "Sister, is that you? Is it really you?" The little girl who was originally shivering in the corner suddenly lit up. It's great, her own sister whom she had been thinking about day and night finally appeared in front of her. With tears streaming down her face, the little girl opened her arms to welcome her sister.

  "Ah, my dear little sister!" The trembling Yuexiang also opened her arms. But the two excited people did not hug each other tightly as one would expect. Xiu's body directly passed through her sister's figure. The little girl was stunned at first, then covered her face with both hands and collapsed to the ground weakly. After all, her own sister had long been dead, and what stood before her now was only her sister's spirit.

  "Are you Yuexiang?" Lanzhiyuan, Lanyun and Lingyun all widened their eyes. They also recognized her. A few months ago, a pair of sisters came to Pingquan Village from afar to rent a place to stay, and they fell in love with this clean, spacious and bright house at first sight. The villagers of Pingquan Village hastily told them that the house was strange and must not rest inside.

  However, the villagers' kind advice was taken as being petty. The two sisters immediately pouted and insisted on staying there. No matter how the villagers advised them, they wouldn't listen.

  Like all the people who lived in this house, the two sisters who entered that room, elder sister Yuexian never woke up again. And due to staying up all night playing, younger sister Xiangyuan was lucky enough to escape unharmed.

  "Ever since that night, I've felt the presence of this monster!" Xiu Yu whispered.

  "That pillow is called Huang Liang's Pillow, and Huang Liang is actually a soul who has lost his physical body. To avoid his spirit from dispersing, he temporarily resides in the pillow. And those who use the pillow to sleep will be locked by Huang Liang into a beautiful dream realm, making it difficult for them to wake up. Meanwhile, Huang Liang takes the opportunity to absorb their vital energy, hoping to successfully transform and condense into his true physical body!" Yuer said in a low voice.

  Yuè Chán clearly knew that the so-called Huang Liang's beautiful dream realm was a very beautiful place, a place where people would linger and forget to return. However, if this person couldn't wake up from the dream within three days, then he would never wake up again. Of course, there were also those who had a strong will, who tried to wake up within these three days. Such people would encounter the same situation as Xiao Chen, being strangled alive in their dreams by skulls. Because those skulls were also former victims left behind with resentment due to intense unwillingness.

  If Xiao Chen were just an ordinary person, he would have definitely died at the hands of these skulls. Fortunately, with his extraordinary physical body, Xiao Chen possessed powers and regenerative abilities that far surpassed those of a normal human, allowing him to miraculously escape from the beautiful dreamlike realm.

  "This young man named Xiao Chen is indeed not simple!" Lan Zhiyuan let out a heartfelt long sigh. He had lived for so many years, yet he also had times when he misjudged people!

  Is it just a simple young man? Due to his age, Lan Zhiyuan's life experience is naturally very rich. Without waking up the fantasy sea Xiao Chen can punch that terrible monster to death, he is not an ordinary person. But those two sisters are not simple either. One of them can actually discover the existence of Huang Liangguai, which ordinary people cannot detect at all. And the other one has been dead for a long time, and her soul has stayed in the yellow millet pillow for so long without completely dissolving, still able to maintain her independent consciousness! This shows how strong this girl's spiritual power is?

  "Thank you, Master Xiao Chen!" Yuexiang bowed politely and then turned her gaze to Xiujuan, her eyes filled with endless longing.

  "Ah, my dear sister. Huang Liang has passed away. The restraints of the Yellow Millet Dream have been lifted, and without them, I will have to hurry to the underworld. From now on, we sisters may never meet again. Sister, from now on, you must take good care of yourself!"

  "Oh no, sister, I don't want you to leave!" Must they face the pain of separation again after just reuniting with their own sister? The poor little girl burst into loud sobs. The scene was enough to move those who heard it to tears."

  "Sister, actually I'll miss you too!" The little girl's tears also made Yuexian's voice choked with sobs.

  "Xiao Chen brother, Xiao Chen brother!" Xiang Yu seemed to have thought of something, she stumbled and rushed towards Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen brother, since you can kill that terrifying monster with one blow, it's enough to prove that you're an extremely formidable person. Xiao Chen brother, I beg of you, please save my sister, please!"

  "This... this... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do anything!" Xiao Chen dejectedly lowered his head. It seemed like he was only slightly stronger, but couldn't do anything else.

  Xiao Chen... Looking at the two sisters in pain, Liu Lan couldn't help but shed tears as well. She thought back to when she lost her own grandfather, and how heartbroken she was then. But now, Xiao Chen's sadness was no less than hers! He didn't know where he came from, nor did he know where he would go next. The only thing he knew was that in this world, he was just a lonely person!

  "Xiao Chen brother, you must hate me for tricking you into this house and almost getting you killed. But I didn't mean to harm you, I just wanted someone to get rid of Huang Liang and avenge my sister! As long as I can save my sister, I'll let you deal with me!" It seems that Xiuer's heart isn't actually bad. She only had such thoughts after learning about Xiao Chen single-handedly killing the ferocious tiger, and her strong hatred towards the monster who killed her sister.

  "Xuè, get up quickly!" Looking at Xuè's tear-stained face, Xiao Chen hastily stretched out his hand and the little bit of resentment he had towards this little girl who almost got him killed completely disappeared.

  "After a person dies, their soul either returns to the underworld or completely disappears. And if you want to keep someone's soul in the mortal world, the only way is to find something like the Huang Liang Pillow that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for it to dwell in. But Huang Liang is already dead, the Imperial City Illusion has disappeared, and the Huang Liang Pillow has become a useless object..." Lan Zhiyuan's words stopped abruptly here.

  "Is this true?" Xiao Chen was stunned, seemingly hearing such a statement for the first time. No one answered, and several people who were swept by Xiao Chen's gaze all lowered their heads silently.

  "Sister, I don't want to leave you!" Xiangyu's little girl wailed loudly.

  "Xiang Yu, don't cry..."

  "Xiao Chen gege, I'll never see my sister again, and you're telling me not to be sad? You're too heartless!"

  “……”

  "If someone from Huayang Sect were here, perhaps there would be a way!" Since Huang Liang's death, Lingyun, who had been standing still and silent, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

  "Lingyun, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lan Yun's face changed greatly. "The people of Huayang Sect are all proud and have strange tempers, they do things based on their personal preferences, regardless of right or wrong. If you're not careful, you'll offend them, and the consequences will be even more miserable than death!"

  "Sorry, Yun'er, I was just joking!" Lingyun lowered his head.

  "What about Huayang Sect? What is Huayang Sect?" Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "Ling brother, are you saying they might have a way?"

  "This... this... Xiao Chen brothers, you won't even have heard of the Huayang Sect?" Ling Yun's surprised eyes were wide open.

  "I..."

  "Lingyun, it seems that Xiao Chen has lost some of his memories. He really can't remember some things!" Liu Lan said hastily beside him, "But don't worry, Xiao Chen, I'll tell you about the Huayang Sect again right now. Maybe it will awaken some of your memories."
