Chapter 67: Nine Lives Cat

  Su Qi furrowed his brow and gazed deeply at the thick fog in front of him, as if he had already seen through the fog to the person hiding deep within. "Why did you enter my dreams?"

  "If I didn't come, you would have died in your own dreams." The newcomer spoke slowly with a hint of helplessness.

  "Since you can enter my dream, you should also know how to get out, right?" Su Qi thought carefully for a long time but couldn't think of any other purpose this person might have. Since she couldn't think of anything, she simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, leaving here was the best option for now.

  "You woke up and left naturally."

  Su Qi felt that this answer was meaningless. Who knew how long it would take for someone to wake him up? If no one called him for a day, did he have to wait in this dark place for a whole day? "Then how do you leave?"

  "Who?" The newcomer laughed and said, "I never thought of leaving."

  "You're not leaving?" Su Qi was puzzled. Here wasn't it either dark and frightening or bright and dazzling? What's good to stay here for? Can't figure it out!

  No! Su Qi suddenly woke up and said, "This is my own dream realm. If I don't leave, won't I be stuck in my own dream realm?" Which means, he would be trapped inside his own mind!

  "Hey!" Su Qi suddenly lost her composure, "How can you stay in someone else's head? Get out quickly!"

  "I didn't say I wanted to stay in your head..." The newcomer expressed incomprehension towards Su Qi's thoughts.

  "Even you say that dreams are a person's subconscious thoughts, if you stay in my dream, aren't you staying in my head!"

  "...I didn't say I wanted to stay in your dream."

  Su Qi continued to ask anxiously, "Then you said earlier..."

  "I just want to stay in the dream..." The newcomer patiently explained again, it really takes a lot of patience to meet someone like Su Qi who has many questions.

  "Ah!" Hearing this, Su Qi felt slightly relieved. If he had stayed on his body like a parasite, it would have been too frightening. What kind of person was he, wanting to stay in the dream world? Su Qi thought and asked, "Why do you want to stay in the dream world? The environment is so bad here, why not leave?"

  "Because he can't go out! Hehehe..."

  "Shi Ruwen!" Su Qiruo exclaimed, Shi Ruwen's laughter was just special to her before, but in this dark environment, she suddenly heard it and it was a bit scary. Classmate Shi Ruwen really has the potential to shoot horror movies. But how did Shi Ruwen end up in her dream?

  "I told you, spiritual energy can't just disappear for no reason!" Xie Ruwen emerged from the darkness with a slow and leisurely pace, his golden pupils gleaming eerily in the dark.

  "Shi Ruwen! How did you appear in my dream!" Su Qiruo asked, anyone who appears with a snake in their dream would feel uncomfortable!

  "Alright!" She Ruiwen threw a flirtatious glance at Su Qi, "If Grandfather hadn't discovered it in time, you would have been eaten to the point of not even leaving any dregs behind!"

  "What do you mean? You said I'm a waste?" Su Qi Ruo couldn't help but despise him after hearing Ye Rui Wen's response. This Ye Rui Wen had actually appeared in her dreams long ago and didn't even lend a hand when she was being chased by cockroaches, how ungrateful! At least she had saved him from Xiang Liu's hands, yet he didn't know how to show gratitude!

  "What's the point of wasting it?" Shi Ruiwen didn't know why Su Qi suddenly mentioned it, so he replied disdainfully, "How could that kind of thing enter my eyes? The plan I carefully set up was all for this nine-lived cat!"

  "Nine Lives Cat?" Su Qi was confused by Jiang Ruwen, how did another cat appear? Su Qi thought back to the people in her dream, could it be, the one who had been talking to me all along?

  "Hmm!" Su Ruiwen suddenly withdrew the smile from his face, and the golden light in his eyes shone brightly into the endless darkness, like a radiant treasure sword splitting the black curtain in two. "Get out of my way!" The darkness seemed to come alive and retreat rapidly wherever the golden light passed, leaving only a straight white path behind. Suddenly, a dazzling white light shot out, making Su Qi squint her eyes shut. When she gradually got used to the brightness around her, she was shocked to discover that on the white path, a figure was slowly walking towards her.

  "It's been discovered so quickly." The newcomer whispered in amazement.

  She Ruiwen gazed coldly at the person walking slowly towards him and snorted, "You're stealing my prey, you're quite brazen!"

  "It's not like you've even gotten your prey into your mouth yet." The newcomer was questioned by Ji Ruiwen, but his tone remained unchanged, still speaking in a slow and unhurried manner.

  Prey? What prey? What are Shui Ruwen and Jiuming Cat talking about? Su Qiruo looked at Shui Ruwen with a puzzled expression, also looking towards the gradually clear figure of Jiuming Cat. It's said that cats have nine lives, could it be true?

  "Damn it, cats are indeed annoying creatures," said Si Ruiwen, gritting his teeth.

  "It's uncomfortable to be liked by you, to be honest." Jiǔ Mìng Māo stood not far from Shuǐ Ruì Wén, with a faint smile on his face and a pair of pupils shining like green gemstones that made people feel a bit eerie, as if there was also a hint of danger.

  Su Qi Ruo greatly admired Jiu Ming Mao, and every sentence struck a chord with Si Rui Wen's anger points. Si Rui Wen's face turned deathly pale, but strangely, if it were any other day, Si Rui Wen would have already made his move. Why was he so calm today? It was really strange.

  "Hmph!" Si Ruiwen suddenly regained his usual smile, "I'm not bothered to engage in a war of words with you."

  "Really?" The nine-lived cat smiled lightly, with a tone that clearly expressed disbelief, as if mocking Shu Ruiwen. But in an instant, the nine-lived cat's smile disappeared, and he looked around at the endless darkness in shock and confusion, as if something had happened that was beyond his expectation.

  As the nine-lived cat's gaze swept around, Su Qi Ruo also looked around, wondering what the nine-lived cat was looking at. But there was nothing but darkness all around!

  "Haha......" Jiǔ Mìng Māo's flustered appearance made Shé Ruìwén burst out laughing, "Really! My mood has brightened up instantly!" Shé Ruìwén didn't hide his current smug expression at all.

  "If you think this can destroy me, then you're wrong." Seeing the trend of defeat was hard to reverse, Jiumeng Mao became calm instead. He calmly said to Xie Ruwen, "The future is long." Then he turned his gaze to Su Qi and elegantly opened his mouth, "Su Qi, we will meet again."

  Ah? Su Qi felt that Jiǔ Mìng Māo's words had a deeper meaning, but for the time being, she couldn't quite grasp what Jiǔ Mìng Māo was getting at.

  "Su Qi Ruo! Su Qi Ruo!" Lu Ke's cold voice grew louder from a distance, and for some reason, this icy sound made Su Qi Ruo feel especially at ease. Could she leave now? Su Qi Ruo gently closed her eyes.
