Chapter Twenty: A Dream Within a Dream

  Zhang Yufan only felt that his five senses were lost, and he didn't know how long it took. Suddenly, in front of him was a mysterious and fantastical world. The mountains rose and fell under his feet, the clouds flowed across the sky, and the crane's cry echoed through the heavens like a fairyland.

  "Yifan!" A beautiful voice came from behind him.

  Jin Bao'er turned around to see that it was indeed Jin Bao'er. She was wearing very little clothing, with some of her chest and back exposed, and her extremely beautiful and alluring face had captivated everyone. It was even more impossible for a young man who had just entered the world of love to resist. Although he had conditions similar to Zhang Xiaofan's, his mental cultivation was extremely poor, and he was easily deceived by this illusion.

  As he watched Jin Bao'er slowly approach, his blood boiled as if it was about to burn, her body slowly pressed against him, and that seductive voice echoed again.

  "Yifan, do you know? I'm really suffering, I didn't intentionally harm you..."

  Zhang Yu Fan was overjoyed and said: "I know, but the way you're dressed today is something I extremely dislike. Next time we meet, it's best if you wear more, otherwise..."

  "Otherwise what?" Jin Biao'er's face also leaned in, her voice whispering in his ear.

  Her body temperature was so hot, little by little stimulating his desire, he couldn't resist and didn't want to resist being gradually hugged by her. Just at this moment, a white figure quickly condensed in the distance, and a white-clad woman floated gently in the fantastic sky, like a fairy from the ninth heaven. The woman with a white celestial jade on her back appeared in front of him, elegant and refined.

  Zhang Yufan was stunned, his boiling body temperature plummeting, staring at the woman who was gradually showing a painful expression and losing his voice: "Xueqi——"

  Jin Ping'er seemed to be completely indifferent to the woman in white behind her, still kissing Zhang Yu-fan's ear root, and didn't care that the person's body temperature had turned icy cold.

  Lu Xueqi looked at Jin Ping'er and then at Zhang Yufan, suddenly sighing: "Alright, alright, you two are quite the pair!"

  Zhang Yufan's heart suddenly tightened, and it turned out that the person he was most concerned about was still Lu Xueqi. He explained: "Listen to my explanation!"

  But Lu Xueqi seemed not to have heard, and walked away without looking back. He struggled to break free from Jin Ping'er's weak and boneless body, just as he was about to chase after her, a sudden burst of purple energy filled the sky, and Jin Ping'er's purple blade slashed down, cutting off his hand with one strike.

  Zhang YuFan let out a mournful cry, wanting to muster his strength to resist but found that he couldn't summon any energy at all. Just as Jin PingEr's next knife was about to split him in two, a white light suddenly flashed by from the side, and in the instant when the sword and knife clashed, it was actually Lu XueQi who saved him. A voice shouted "XueQi!"

  Lu Xueqi also didn't speak, the white Tian Jue's sword hilt burst forth with blue light, instantly freezing everything within a thousand miles, and Jin Ping'er was unable to dodge in time and was sealed inside like ice.

  "Xue Qi, I didn't mean to do that just now!" Zhang Yu Fan didn't even bother to pick up his severed hand and hastily followed her to explain. Lu Xue Qi's heart ached at the sight of his maimed state and slowly said: "Don't say anything, let's reattach your hand first!" As she spoke, she took out an object from her hand, which was Zhang Yu Fan's severed hand.

  Zhang Yufan was taken aback, but still took it over and matched the broken arm. Suddenly, she lifted her head and was startled by Lu Xueqi, who was holding a hammer and nails in her hand, exclaiming "What are you going to do?"

  Lu Xueqi's genuinely smiling face was rarely seen, except in dreams. She actually used Jin Ping'er's tone and said: "I'm giving it to you, don't you like me taking care of your injuries?"

  Zhang Yufan was made to lose his rationality by Lu Xueqi's smile, and he repeatedly said "I'm willing, I'm willing!" as he stared blankly at her nailing his own arm with a hammer, one blow after another.

  "Does it hurt?"

  "It doesn't hurt!"

  "Xue Qi, may I kiss you?"

  "Come on!"

  Zhang Yu Fan was stunned, what a wonderful thing, thinking of something and it comes true, is this not a dream or what, die if you must, who knew that just as he was about to bump into Lu Xue Qi's face, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, like someone had slapped him, he cursed loudly, his body sprang up, but unexpectedly his head hit something again, only to hear that thing let out an "ai yo" sound and it turned out to be a person.

  Next to him was a woman's voice, somewhat coarsely saying: "I thought you didn't want to wake up from your spring dream!"

  Zhang Yu Fan opened his eyes to find himself in a dimly lit cave, where he saw a dog-headed statue, a sorcerer-like person, and a stunning woman in white clothes. What shocked him was that the beautiful woman was holding something ready to hit his mouth, and it seemed like he had done something wrong. No wonder earlier when Lu Xue Qi was hitting her own face with a hammer in his dream, it hurt so much - it turned out this shrew was using a "brick" to hit herself.

  "Who are you?" he said irritably.

  Xiaobai furrowed his brow, looking a bit dazed. "Did I really knock your brains out? Oh dear, oh dear! Come here and let me check if you have a fever!" He then stuck himself to Zhang Yufan's side and reached out to touch his forehead.

  Zhang Yufan felt a sense of inexplicable confusion, wondering why he and Lu Xueqi had suddenly appeared in this mountain cave from the Tian Emperor's palace. Where was Lu Xueqi now? And where was this place? Who was this white-clothed woman, or that dog-headed sorcerer? He wanted to resist, but the woman's hand, though seemingly soft, possessed a strength of a thousand pounds, making it impossible for him to budge. The depth of her cultivation was truly unimaginable.

  "No fever!" Xiaobai said, pinching Yu Fan's eyes and rubbing his ears, perhaps because he hadn't seen Gui Ye for a long time.

  Zhang Yufan struggled with all his might and roared: "What exactly do you want to do?"

  He suddenly froze, putting away the joyful smile he had just shown, and carefully sized up the person in front of him. He nodded his head and shook it from time to time, even the great wizard who was rubbing his nose beside him felt somewhat perplexed.

  "You, you're not a fierce ghost!" Xiaobai suddenly said, his eyes full of surprise.

  Zhang Yu Fan seemed to have anticipated such a question, and with a mix of anger and hatred in his heart, he loudly asked: "I am not Zhang Xiao Fan, who are you?"

  Xiao Bai and the Great Wizard were both shocked at the same time, wondering how to look at this person in front of them who was also that ghostly Jie from back then. Except for the absence of the gray-haired monkey by his side and these cyan-colored clothes, no one dared to say that this person was not Jie.

  "What the hell do you want!" Zhang Yufan felt like he was being stared at as if he were a monster, his whole body covered in countless sharp thorns, feeling extremely uncomfortable, so he shouted out.

  Suddenly, Xiao Bai was overjoyed and gently rubbed Zhang Yufan's face with her hand. But for Zhang Yufan, his mouth was almost ruined by this woman, he wanted to speak but couldn't, and didn't know how many times she had rubbed him. He suddenly thought of the powerful women in "Jade Dynasty", besides Xiao Bai who was a bit crazy, who else could be like that? A few thousand years old and still learning from others to chase after young guys, it's really too ridiculous.

  "Slap" Xiaobai suddenly slapped him in the face.

  Zhang Yu Fan was hit and felt a bit inexplicable, shouting: "What right do you have to hit me!"

  "What did you just say!" Xiaobai also shouted loudly.

  Zhang Yu Fan was stunned at the same time, and exclaimed in surprise that this nine-tailed heavenly fox could see through people's thoughts. The book had never mentioned it before, he thought to himself. Xiao Bai said with a bad temper: "This girl can indeed see through people's hearts, so when you think about big things, be careful of my palm!"

  It was unexpected that even Zhang Yufan, the great witch doctor, was shocked. This "mind-reading technique" had been mentioned by Master before, but it had been lost for thousands of years. How could it appear on this woman's body now? It seems that what Master entrusted to the clan leader was indeed not in vain, and this woman is indeed not simple.

  "You are nine..." Zhang Yufan was about to speak when Xiao Bai suddenly said: "Shut up!"

  Zhang Yu thought that since he could see through his thoughts, he must not want to reveal his identity. As Zhang Yu was thinking this, he saw Xiao Bai's face slightly relax, and he decided it was better for him to keep quiet.

  Xiao Bai smiled at Zhang Yu Fan, then turned to the Grand Wizard and said: "He's fine now, take me to see the Soul Summoning Array first, saving a life is like fighting a fire!"

  The great wizard nodded, looking at Zhang Yufan with an awkward expression. Xiaobai naturally understood what the great wizard was thinking and patted Zhang Yufan's shoulder, saying: "You go outside and wait for me, but don't go far away, or you'll be in trouble!"

  Zhang Yufan hummed and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered Lu Xueqi and said: "I also have something to ask the great witch doctor, it's urgent!"

  The Grand Wizard saw Zhang Yu Fan's anxious expression and said, "Please speak."

  "How did I end up here?!"

  The Grand Wizard said: "I don't know either. The altar was in a grand state last night, but when I entered the stone chamber, I only saw you lying alone on the stone bed!"

  Zhang Yu Fan was startled again and said: "Am I the only one?"

  "It's just you alone!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu retreated two steps. As for Lu Xueqi, where did she go? Would she still be in that underground palace? This matter was too strange to think about. It wasn't necessary for the great witch doctor to deceive him. A person lost his soul and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
