Chapter 29: Dream Realm (First Update of Four Updates)

  Outside Nian Nu's house, Cui Ruxue shielded Nian Nu behind her and stared at the door as if facing a formidable enemy.

  Suddenly, a "bang" was heard, the door closed, and Cui Ruxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around with an angry face and stared at Cui Nianslave: "Nianslave, didn't I tell you? Stay away from this person, but you actually..."

  Cui Nian Nu raised her head and looked directly at Cui Ru Shuang. "Sister, I think you're being very unreasonable."

  "Hmm, yes... uh?"

  Choi Yoo-seong was stunned, at first she didn't hear clearly what Choi Yeon-soo said, so she still nodded and followed along, but when she reacted afterwards, she completely lost her composure. Choi Yoo-seong said: "Where did I not speak reasonably?"

  Choi Yeon-soo looked at Choi Yu-seong, and it wasn't until their eyes met that Choi Yu-seong realized something was off. Choi Yeon-soo seemed to be genuinely angry with her. In Choi Yu-seong's memory, her younger sister had always been weak-willed, either gentle or easily bullied. She didn't think Choi Yeon-soo would actually get angry at her, and their eyes met without a hint of evasion.

  It must be that Jiang Xia who has corrupted her, Cui Ruxue muttered to herself. Thinking of this, Cui Ruxue became even more indignant, and her voice slightly rose as she asked: "You'd better speak up, where have I been unreasonable?"

  Chui Nian Nu looked at Chui Ru Xue and said calmly: "Before, Father was seriously ill, I didn't have any silver to buy medicine for him. When I went to borrow from Kang Mama, she threatened me with this and forced me to receive guests. In the end, it was Jiang Da Ge who lent me the silver, otherwise Father wouldn't have made it through that ordeal. Later, the young master of Wang Da Ren's household in Shun Tian Fu broke into my room with ill intentions, but Jiang Da Ge set fire to rescue me and saved my chastity. That night, Jiang Da Ge came to find me because I had left a note for him asking him to come."

  "You've met Big Brother Jiang twice, and each time you drew your sword without asking any questions. What's even more outrageous is that this time, Big Brother Jiang drank the poisonous wine prepared by Mrs. Kang to help me get the deed from her, and he was poisoned with an aphrodisiac. If I hadn't saved him, Big Brother Jiang might have died from his meridians being severed. Big Brother Jiang has helped me three times, and he's done me a great favor, but you want to fight and kill others, and you even forced me to watch him die."

  "Cui Ruxue opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, Cui Nianshu's words were clear and logical, Cui Ruxue really couldn't refute them."

  After a few yeses, Cui Ruxue said: "That person is not a good thing at first glance. If he has nothing to do with you, he must be a thief or a villain. I think he doesn't have any good intentions towards you."

  Cui Nian Nu shook her head, looking speechless at Cui Ru Xue. She said calmly: "If Jiang Ge really was that kind of person, then earlier when he was poisoned by the aphrodisiac and you couldn't beat him, why didn't he do anything to you? Instead, he chased us out. Jiang Ge chased us out because he was about to lose control of himself, he didn't want to hurt us, don't you understand?"

  Choi Yoo-jung was speechless again, and as she recalled what had just happened, she couldn't help but admit that Choi Nyeo-slave was telling the truth.

  When she saw Cui Ruxue not speaking, Cui Nianslave also stopped talking about her. She turned around and looked at Nianslave, muttering to herself: "If something unexpected happens to Brother Jiang this time, I really don't know how to be at peace." As she spoke, Cui Nianslave tightly clasped her hands together on her chest, silently praying for Jiang Xia in her heart.

  As for Jiang Xia, the medicinal properties of Chunfeng Yidu were originally very strong. With his true energy returning to his dantian and circulating throughout his body, plus the fight with Cui Ruxue, the medicinal properties of Chunfeng Yidu became even stronger.

  All that could be heard was a cry of "Ah!" followed by a loud crash from inside the Nianshu residence.

  Chui Nian Nu exclaimed: "Brother Jiang."

  She went to push the door, but the wooden table behind it blocked her and she couldn't open it. Cui Ruxue stood aside and looked at it for a moment before walking over to pull Cui Nianshu away, then Cui Ruxue kicked the door open with one foot. After the two of them rushed into the room, they only saw Jiang Xia kneeling on the ground, his right hand covering his chest, and a pool of fresh blood on the ground.

  Chui Nian Nu hastily ran over and knelt beside Jiang Xia, anxiously asking: "Big Brother Jiang, how are you? Are you okay? Big Brother Jiang, don't scare me."

  Jiang Xia shook his head and stood up unsteadily, saying weakly: "I've suffered internal injuries and need to go back to my room to rest for a bit."

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia walked towards the exit of the room. Having taken about three steps, Jiang Xia suddenly collapsed to the ground. Cui Nian Nu let out a sharp cry: "Big Brother Jiang!"

  A white light shone over, and the light seemed to have a special attraction. Jiang Xia walked towards the light. After passing through the white light, Jiang Xia entered a room. This was obviously a bedroom, with a bed, TV, computer, air conditioner... modern!

  Suddenly, Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat - I'm back? I've returned to modern times? I've traveled back through time?

  Jiang Xia was overjoyed in his heart, and Old Man Hu Han San had returned! After shouting two sentences in his heart, Jiang Xia began to calm down. He looked around and thought, "Where is this? Whose bedroom?"

  Jiang Xia saw a door and quietly walked out of it. Outside the bedroom was a living room, and when he got to the living room, Jiang Xia was stunned. On the wall in front of him hung a huge photo, and the person in the photo was himself. Looking again at the sofa, a woman was holding a wine glass and drinking continuously, while muttering to herself with a sobbing tone: "Jiang Xia, I regret it. After losing you, I realized that I couldn't live without you. Come back quickly, come back."

  Jiang Xia was as still as a wooden chicken, and just by looking at her back and listening to her voice, Jiang Xia could confirm that this woman was none other than Wen Yue Xing Hong.

  She was always thinking of herself. Jiang Xia felt a slight pang in his heart, and a moving feeling made his nose sour. Jiang Xia remembered that although Hengyue Xinghong had also drunk wine in the past, she never drank too much. She was someone who liked to control everything, including her emotions. She knew that alcohol would make her emotions fluctuate, so she had used special instruments to measure her resistance to alcohol and determined a limit for herself, never drinking more than that amount.

  But now Wen Yue Xing Hong, who is obviously drunk, has any of his usual wisdom left?

  "Clang!" The wine cup fell from Wen Yue Hong's hand and rolled onto the carpet. She was completely drunk.

  Jiang Xia walked over and helped Wen Yueshen up, supporting her all the way to the bed. He took off her shoes for her and prepared a towel for her forehead. After doing all this, Jiang Xia gazed at Wen Yueshen's flawless face, and he slightly leaned in, ready to take a sniff of those sensual red lips.

  "Brother Jiang?"

  All the scenes disappeared, and a feeling of falling from nothingness to reality emerged. That feeling was as if walking in the clouds, suddenly stepping on solid ground. Jiang Xia opened his eyes, sat up at once, and called out: "Wen Yue?"

  He looked around blankly, his gaze sliding over Cui Nian Nu and Cui Ru Shuang's faces as if they didn't exist. Confirming that he was in Nian Nu's residence, Jiang Xia lowered his head and sighed: "It was just a dream."

  A strong sense of disappointment and a faint sorrow surged together in Jiang Xia's heart, seeing Jiang Xia like this, Cui Nian Nu felt a pang of heartache. What kind of dream could make him so sad? What kind of person or thing could hurt him so much? Cui Nian Nu was eager to find out.

  A woman's feelings for a man are often like this: at first, it's curiosity that drives her to get close to him. Then the more she understands him, the deeper she falls.

  With a disappointed face, Jiang Xia couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart for Cui Nian Nu. Even Cui Ru Shuang, who was still doubting herself and wondering if she was being unreasonable, felt slightly moved. She stood beside him, holding her newly replaced long sword in her arms.

  From her perspective, she only saw one side of Jiang Xia, but this side also made Cui Ruxue feel the pain of Jiang Xia. At this moment, Jiang Xia was not as cheerful and talkative as usual, but rather like a mature man who had experienced hardships and was reminiscing about his past that he did not want to share with outsiders.

  Actually... when he doesn't speak, he doesn't seem that annoying. As soon as Cui Ruxue had this thought, she immediately realized it was wrong - this guy hit her twice and even hit her... there, he's really annoying, a damn guy. Thinking of the pain mixed with numbness when Jiang Xia patted her buttocks, Cui Ruxue panicked, her face actually turned red.

  Jiang Xia sat up from the stretcher and asked: "How long have I been unconscious? What time is it now?"

  "She has been unconscious for several hours, and it's just now the first watch of the night." Cui Nian Nu replied.

  It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and he didn't expect to have fainted for so long. That Spring Wind Dispersion was really powerful. Jiang Xia thought to himself that he had made a decision, which was to find Kang Qingyan... to get some Spring Wind Dispersion on him in preparation for any unexpected situation.

  With this medicine, if I were to meet another beautiful but savage woman like Cui Ruxue, hum... thinking about it, Jiang Xia glanced at Cui Ruxue with ill intentions. Cui Ruxue's face first turned red, then she spat: "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll dig out your eyeballs."

  "You can't see me, how do you know I'm looking at you? Only the governor is allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. Don't call her Cui Ruxue, call her Cui Crab instead, this is arrogant enough, even walking is done sideways." Jiang Xia lifted up the quilt and sat up, turning around to put on his boots.

  Cui Ruxiang was staring at him with a fierce gaze, Jiang Xia had forgotten that his belt had been cut off by Cui Nianslave, he had just stood up, and his pants fell down. The medicine's effect had just passed, and the little brother was still in an upright position.

  Cui Ruxiang was taken aback for a moment, then let out a sharp scream: "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

  Jiang Xia didn't react at first, until Cui Nianyu also turned around. Jiang Xia then felt a chill down below and looked down to see that he immediately let out a loud shout: "Ahhhhh! You pervert, you saw my private parts, you have to take responsibility!"
