Chapter 16: The Dreamlike Capital (Part 1)

  Although I haven't been here for a long time, many things have happened. It seems that I am still the calm type after all. Sigh~

  Something strange, it feels like there's something different inside my body. Now, I'm still cultivating in the dormitory as usual, because I've recovered my demonic beast, so there will be an extra power inside me, of course, I can't use it, only those high-level strong people can merge with their own demonic beasts and create their own skills by fusing souls. Through introspection, I saw Xiaofen, that caterpillar-like creature, I really couldn't think of a suitable name for it, nor did I know what it was, anyway, it's better than calling it Xiao Mao. It seems to be very restless today, constantly moving back and forth, although lacking experience, I knew that at this time, demonic beasts were all resting, during which they would slowly grow up, the bigger they grew, the slower their growth rate. Xiaofen's movement speed is getting faster and faster, like a powerful force, no good, I lost control! What's going on?! I hurriedly ran the Heart-Calming Spell... No way, it didn't work?

  "Xiǎo Mèng, kuài kāi mén a." It's Xiao Pu, I'm paralyzed now. My whole body is tied up tightly, this feeling is like suffocation. Xiao Pu, come in quickly, I'm silently praying.

  "I could have sworn I just saw her come back, Your Highness. She won't be coming again, will she?" Could it be that Gingetsu has also arrived? Damn it, can't even get my voice out now.

  I used all my strength to push the vase on the table, and then I fell down. As expected, after a while, the door was knocked open, it was Yin Yue, behind her was Xiao Pu? My vision began to blur, and everything went black...

  I woke up with a tearing pain, and Grandpa Landa was sitting beside my bed, with the instructor standing behind him.

  "Ximeng, you're awake, are you feeling better?" Langda Grandfather was still as warm and gentle as ever.

  "It doesn't matter anymore, what's wrong with me?"

  "It must be related to that demon beast of yours. After you fainted, it automatically came out of your body and kept eating everything in sight. Generally, a demon beast will grow by absorbing the energy from the absorption column after being subdued. It's possible that the power of your dreams wasn't enough to satisfy it or there was something inside you that couldn't be harmonized with it."

  The small pink creature hovering above my head had an expression of guilt on its face, but how did its body grow so big in just a few days? It's now about 30 centimeters long!

  "Xi Meng, you'd better get a good rest now. In two days' time, we'll be entering the Dream Capital, and you need to take care of yourself," said the instructor.

  "Uh-huh, Grandpa will leave first then, and come back to see you later."

  I watched them leave, then focused my gaze on Xiaofen. "Tell me, what kind of monster are you?" Xiaofen had a puzzled expression. Under my furrowed brow and constant scanning, the little guy's eyes started rolling around in confusion. I knew there was something wrong with you, why not say it? Let's see how long you can hold on.

  "Ah?" I turned my head to see him still sitting on the sofa against the wall to the right of Yin Yue. He hadn't left after all. I smiled at him, feeling a bit embarrassed "Why didn't you say anything? Did you want something from me?"

  "It was Xiaopu who brought me here, she had something to attend to and left first. I came to talk to you about the new trial team formation."

  "Am I in a group with you again?" And that chili pepper fan big sister, we won't be in the same group again, will we?

  "We're indeed a group again, I'm the leader and there's another member, that is Yegui." Oh my god, how are we divided into groups this time? Yegui, he's even more terrifying than Huishan. "This time the venue isn't like the Magic Beast Forest, the Magic Beast Forest is just a group of magic beasts, no matter how high their intelligence is, it won't compare to us, it's only physical danger, but the Dream Realm is a place where both your heart and body can be threatened with death, especially for those whose willpower isn't strong enough, once you get trapped in it, you'll never come out again." Yin Yue explained very seriously to me, I always have a strange feeling towards him, he seems to be helping me but there's always a sense of distance.

  He saw that I didn't respond and continued, "Ye Gui's strength is very strong, we often spar together. This time, as long as you listen to our commands, we guarantee your safety and will bring you out safely. The rumors in the academy are mostly exaggerated, he just appears cold on the surface, you don't have to be afraid of him." You're already cold enough, do I need to go with two ice blocks together? Fine, I'm not afraid of the cold.

  "Thank you, I understand."

  "Alright, I'm leaving, you rest now." After saying that, Yin Yue turned around and left.

  "Yin Yue, senior." Yin Yue turned around and looked at me, his purple eyes sparkling, really beautiful, also like that of Cui's, looking at me.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Oh, oh, I wanted to say thank you."

  Didn't I just say so?

  "No, thanks for not abandoning me and Xiaopu in Monster Forest."

  On Gin's expressionless face, a fleeting smile appeared, and that was a smile. "That is my responsibility." When I came to my senses, his figure had already disappeared.

  Responsibility? Forget it, let's take a break instead.
