Chapter 67

[Translator]: Adrastus Translations [Editor]: xue er

The candlelight flickered, and the warm yellow glow was gentle and warm, completely enveloping the small room.

The vermilion railings were tall, and the light colored draperies were gently fluttering in the wind. The glazed screen was overflowing with colors, and the clusters of fresh flowers were delicate and gentle, setting off the spring scenery on one side.

A pale golden bee was leisurely dancing in the air. It slowly stopped at the edge of the basin, then suddenly flew up again, dodging the flying water.

A small flame was burning under the basin, and it was a beautiful crystal blue color. Upon closer inspection, one would see that it was actually a piece of transparent crystal stone. Xuan Qi was dancing within the transparent crystal stone, just like a jubilant flame.

Green spirit leaves floated on the surface of the water, emitting a faint fragrance.

Xie Ziyou stared blankly at himself as he sat in the bathtub. The light of the water flowed down his black hair and dripped onto his shoulders. His skin seemed to have been smeared with a layer of oil, which reflected the faint light of the candlelight. Above his neck, the hot water was evaporating, giving him a beautiful crimson color.

… It was too shameful.

Xie Ziyou wanted to cover his eyes, and his cheeks were burning. He grabbed the system and roared, “What’s going on? Did he peek at me while I was bathing?”

What he was seeing couldn’t possibly be a dream.

Everyone’s dreams were based on their own experiences and images. If Xie Ziyou hadn’t transmigrated from the 21st century, and had seen the bustling city, it would have been impossible for the nameless flower to create a frozen city, using it to create a tragedy and make him feel despair.

Not to mention, this dream was very realistic. The lines on the screen were so detailed that even the system’s real body appeared, perfectly recreating the scene of the two of them splashing in the water.

The scene was so realistic, and the details were so detailed that it almost made Xie Ziyou think that Xie Heng had installed a camera in his bathroom.

After a long silence, the system cautiously said, “You You, could it be because the illusions are connected? The nameless flower extracted the details from your mind and pieced them together to create a more realistic dream for Xie Heng? ”

Before it could finish, the world in front of Xie Ziyou was spinning.

His view changed abruptly, and he felt himself being grabbed by a warm hand and thrown into the pool.

The bubbling bubbles floated up, and Xie Ziyou slowly sank down.

An even more impactful scene appeared in front of him. The details were still exquisite, and even the outline of a small mole on his shoulder was clearly depicted.

His black hair fluttered, and his skin shone under the water. Ripples appeared everywhere, like a dream.

Xie Ziyou’s voice trembled, and he said in disbelief, “System, is this also a memory splicing?”

How was this possible?

When had he ever snuck into his own bathtub and looked at it from this perspective?

The system also felt a headache. The person and the system thought hard for a long time. Suddenly, a stream of light flashed through Xie Ziyou’s mind. The youth raised his head abruptly, and was stunned. “Sword bone!”

This was the perspective of the sword bone!

The sword bone was not a living being, and it was impossible for it to be pulled into an illusion. The theory of memory splicing was self-defeating.

There was only one possibility left.

No matter how hard it was to believe, Xie Ziyou had to admit that there was a special connection between the protagonist and the sword bone. It was able to use the sword bone’s perspective to monitor his every word and action!

This was too much.

Xie Ziyou covered his burning face, and thought through gritted teeth, ‘This bastard looks like a dog, what is he pretending to be a gentleman, but actually, actually behind his back … … He really has no sense of shame, no sense of shame.’

Everything was taken advantage of by this bastard.

Even if I am an old man, I can’t play like this!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He hated that Xie Heng’s figure wasn’t in his field of vision, or else he would have rushed forward and slapped him with his big ears.

Fortunately, not long after, a soft voice drifted from afar. An unfamiliar female voice said, “Gongzi, the auspicious time has arrived.”

The scene in front of Xie Ziyou turned again.

He saw himself standing in the great hall of the candlelight, his wedding attire exuded a natural air of nobility. The vermilion robe was embroidered with light and elegant gold, and the delicate hibiscus patterns were emitting light under the colorful lanterns.

His black hair was tied up with a bamboo hairpin, his eyes were light and sparkling like glass, and a faint smile hung on his red lips. He was tall and elegant, and had a leisurely appearance.

Red candles were hung high, and the door was pasted with the word ‘happiness’. A faint blush was reflected on the youth’s fair cheeks, spreading out between his delicate brows and eyes, turning into an unconcealable joy.

Xie Ziyou’s heart slowly formed a question mark.

What was going on?

Could it be … … the scene that Xie Heng was most afraid of, was that he didn’t accept his love, and instead married someone else?

Even though Xie Ziyou was worried about Xie Heng’s state, but when he thought of this, he couldn’t help but raise his chin slightly, faintly pleased with himself.

What this person cared about the most, was still himself.

But in the next second, the figure outside the door broke Xie Ziyou’s conjecture. Xie Heng’s feet stirred in the wind, as he walked, the hem of his brocade robe fluttered in the wind, between his eyebrows was a little tipsy, the tip of his eyebrows was overjoyed, raised high, and his black eyes were shining like stars.

Seeing the figure standing silently in the room, Xie Heng’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but raise his qi and leap. From entering the door to entering the hall, in just a few short steps, he had used his xuan qi cultivation to shorten the time by a few seconds.

The bubble in Xie Ziyou’s heart burst with a ‘pa’.

He looked at the illusion of himself being pulled into Xie Heng’s arms, his cheeks flushed red as he kissed the youth.

The scene changed without a sound. The two of them kissed each other and then fell sideways onto the bed.

The golden thread was arched up, and the suppressed gasps and moans gradually came from below. It was thin and shallow, like a kitten’s.

The red wedding candles burned for the entire night, and the moans resounded for the entire night.

Until the end of the long night, a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon.

Xie Ziyou’s blood was boiling, and he could almost hear the sound of his heart beating — — He knew it was an illusion, but the “Xie Ziyou” in the illusion was too real, his eyebrows and eyes almost mirrored his face. Watching this scene of erotic love, it was like looking into a mirror.

Countless memories of his previous life reverberated in the young man’s mind, and behind every scene was a period of happy times.

His memories gradually overlapped with the image in front of him. The “Xie Ziyou” in the illusion had the ends of his eyes raised, and the back of his neck was covered with a smear of red. His long eyelashes were like the feathers of a crow, and his wet sweat had caused a few strands of hair to stick to the corners of his forehead, stretching from his neck to his back in a beautiful arc. It was like a winding line of snow, but also like the neck of a swan. It was very alluring.

“Is this a nightmare?”

Xie Ziyou covered his ears tightly, and scolded through gritted teeth, “System, open your eyes and see, is this the most terrifying thing?”

This was clearly called “I don’t know I’m a guest in a dream”!

The System was also having a headache. It took out a thick stack of information from the System Space, and after a long while, it pointed out the definitions and descriptions of “nameless flower” and “Styx” for Xie Ziyou to see.

The man and the system looked at each other in dismay.

“Wait a little longer,” the System said helplessly, “You You, wait a little longer. Time passes at a different speed in the dream world than in the outside world. Maybe this is just a foreshadowing, and there’s a deeper meaning hidden behind it. Don’t be anxious. ”

Xie Ziyou thought to himself, “What the f * ck is there? What deeper meaning is there? It’s clearly someone’s sperm getting into your brain.”

The young man lowered his head deeply, and covered his burning cheeks. He tried his best to ignore the sexy moans that drifted into his ears. His hands were tightly clasped together, and his knuckles were tightly clenched.

He could not wait to perform a craniotomy on the two people who were rolling on the bed.

However, what the System said made sense. If the nameless flower was really aiming at the weakest part of a person’s heart, then all of this was just foreshadowing, and the most important part had yet to come.

Bear with it, Xie Ziyou told himself, bear with it.

Then, he was forced to watch the second night, the third night … and the seventh night.

The flow of time in the dream world was indeed different. It seemed like only a short moment, but it also felt like seven days had passed. Xie Ziyou was in a trance, huddled in a corner, and rubbed away the dark circles under his eyes. He said dejectedly, “System, I want to kill someone.”

It was too depressing.

At first, it was just a simple bystander. Later, Xie Ziyou gradually realized that the longer he stayed in the illusion, the more his mind would gradually sink, and he would silently move closer to the illusions.

In particular, there were illusions set up based on him in this dream.

For the last night, Xie Ziyou had almost been possessed by the illusions. Every warm kiss from Xie Heng had landed on his lips, and it was so numb that it was intoxicating.

The youth had a handsome face, and his black eyes were filled with affection. Due to years of sword practice, his hands had a thin callus.

Being stared at by a pair of familiar deep eyes, his slightly rough fingers gripping his wrist, and opening his fingers one by one, Xie Ziyou’s entire body trembled. The stimulation was like an electric shock, and it was difficult for him to control himself.

Come again tonight?

In the long run, how bad would that be?

The System was helpless, and could only comfort Xie Ziyou. “Calm down, You You, don’t be rash. You’re enjoying it, aren’t you? I saw that the illusions were very unfamiliar at first, but they’ve become more enthusiastic and active these past few days … ”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Xie Ziyou’s face turned red, and he said fiercely, “That’s an illusion, not me!”

The System didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said gently, “Alright, alright, it’s not you, it’s all the fault of the illusion.”

Xie Ziyou turned his head away, and gritted his teeth.

For the last seven days, the two of them had done nothing but stay on the bed and do this.

It was simply crazy.

But the seventh day was different.

The fog was churning, and the scene suddenly changed. In the morning light, Xie Heng had changed his clothes. It was a spirited dark brown, and the cuffs were embroidered with a low-key dark gold pattern. Even though he was worn out, his eyes were bright, and his temperament was outstanding.

It was as if he had just trekked dozens of miles. His short boots were covered in dust, but the gold buckle was still as bright as snow. His hair was messed up by the mountain wind, and fell to the side of his ears, looking messy and sexy.

Once he entered the house, the youth couldn’t wait any longer, and headed straight for the illusion of Xie Ziyou. He said cheerfully, “You You, I brought you a gift!”

The illusion turned around curiously, and raised her eyebrows. “What gift?”

“Guess?”

The illusion frowned. “… I’m not guessing.”

“Then give me a kiss.”

The real Xie Ziyou watched as the two of them kissed again. A warm and moist sensation came from his lips, as if something was gently sucking on his lips, and then he deftly reached inside, and continued to lick and pry along the gaps between his teeth.

Xie Ziyou’s ears were burning, and he covered his slightly swollen lips.

Unable to speak, he winked, and silently complained to the System, “That’s too much!”

The System said gently, “Ah, ah, ah, we’ve been kissing for so many days, it’s not too late.”

“It’s not a matter of kissing a few times!” Xie Ziyou squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. “It’s too much of a waste of time. In my previous life, there was a movie where someone died in a dream, and they would wake up in reality. Why don’t you give me some TN/T, and we’ll blow it up … ”

“Wait, You You, don’t be rash!” The System said hurriedly. “This isn’t a simple dream. Do you still remember the frost marks on your arm?”

Xie Ziyou was stunned.

That’s right.

If the scene here could be reflected in reality, he wouldn’t be able to use violent methods to awaken Xie Heng.

Otherwise, if he really blew up Xie Heng in reality into a bloody mess, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

… … But continuing like this wasn’t a solution?

Xie Ziyou covered his mouth that had turned red from kissing, his emotions complicated. He watched helplessly as Xie Heng and the illusion had enough of being intimate with each other. His slender hand reached into his clothes and took out something precious.

It was a clump of spirit grass.

The blade of grass was in the shape of a sharp little sword. Wondrous Dao patterns floated around it, swaying without any wind.

Colorful light swirled around the root of the grass, dazzling and beautiful. The moment the entire clump of grass was taken out, the light illuminated the entire room.

Xie Heng carefully held the blade of grass and lovingly placed it in front of the illusion. He said gently, “This is the legendary sword grass. It only grows in the Ancient Realm of the Mystic Void, which only blooms once in a hundred years. It’s very beneficial to those who cultivate the sword … … Eh, be careful! This blade of grass is very sharp. You You, hold the blade of grass over here. Don’t cut it, I’ll feel heartache. ”

The real Xie Ziyou watched from the side. He saw the delicate blade of grass that was a hundred times more dazzling than a jewel being gently lifted up and placed into the illusion’s palm.

Damn, it was so sour.

Xie Ziyou felt his heart was bleeding. He grabbed the System and said fiercely, “He never gave me a gift!”

“… No way?” The System was puzzled. “Guan Heng has been with you for a hundred years. He never gave you a gift?”

Xie Ziyou said angrily, “That was from the previous world, not this world. It was Guan Heng, not Xie Heng!”

“… Isn’t it the same?”

“How can it be the same!”

Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth and looked at Xie Heng with an unfriendly gaze. He thought to himself, You bastard, just you wait.

Let’s see how you can explain it when you leave the illusion.

On the other side, the illusion took the spirit herb and examined it for a moment. However, it lacked interest.

He casually put the spirit herb aside and waved his hand at Xie Heng. He smiled and said, “What a coincidence, I also have a gift for you.”

Xie Heng was pleasantly surprised and moved forward — —

Xie Ziyou’s heart suddenly palpitated. A sense of unease enveloped him. He subconsciously raised his head and, not caring if Xie Heng could hear him, shouted, “Don’t go!”

“Slash — —”

But it was too late.

Xie Heng maintained his posture of leaning forward, his back suddenly tensed up!

His pupils constricted in disbelief. He stared blankly at the beautiful face of the illusion that was right in front of him. The fake “Xie Ziyou” was nestled in his arms, his eyebrows curved, and he smiled sweetly.

His fair hand gripped a sharp knife.

The knife gleamed with a cold light as it stabbed deeply into Xie Heng’s waist.
