Chapter 114: Huh? Something's Strange About This Dream?
Miss Kirin found herself not knowing what expression she had beneath her mask.
Why did every word that this Demon Sect Holy Saint uttered make sense individually, but when strung together, she couldn't understand the meaning at all?
The Empress's hidden biological sister? Herself?
As the mortal incarnation among the Three incarnations, she had never thought that one day she would be seen by others in such an identity.
However, Luo Wusheng's self-talk hadn't ended yet.
"Ah, damn it, its all my Master's fault for making me do this, to think that he would insist that I marry the Empress's sister back to the Demon Sect before leaving the Demon Domain. It led me to pay too much attention to her, and that's why I had such a dream of confessing to her just now"
Luo Wusheng sighed as if lamenting.
But what he was lamenting wasn't what he was saying out loud.
It was that he had basically confirmed that Miss Kirin was indeed the Empress's mortal incarnation.
Though she was doing her best to hide her abnormality, the information he had thrown out was quite astounding. It was quite evident that her composure had been disrupted to some extent.
In other words, it was quite probable that his dream really was intruded upon by Miss Kirin.
As for the words he was saying now
Well, those were meant to patch up his unusual behavior in the dream earlier.
The fact that he unexplainably confessed his love to her within his heart needed to be smoothed over, or it could easily make Miss Kirin feel uneasy.
As he said before, the affinity between him and Miss Kirin hadn't reached that level yet.
So, he came up with a fairly decent excuse.
It was just a bit unfair to the Master who was getting the blame.
Hearing Luo Wusheng's sigh, Miss Kirin blinked slightly.
In other words, this Demon Sect Holy Saint has been paying attention to her because of that Demon Sect Lord?
Because that Demon Sect Lord mentioned that the Immortal Nation's Empress had a hidden sister, the Demon Sect Holy Saint who received that information from his Master tried to ascertain who the Empress's sister was, and through various deductions and suspicions, ended up suspecting her?
And because that Demon Sect Lord wanted him to marry the non-existent Empress's sister, he ended up acting the way he did in the previous dream?
Miss Kirin understood.
(But why would the Demon Sect Lord do this?)
She felt that the Demon Sect Lord must have already known that the Empress of the Immortal Nation was a disciple of the Taoist sect and had achieved the One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones.
Given the Demon Sect Lord's is at the Peak Tribulation Crossing stage cultivation and have the peculiar mystic arts passed down through the ancient human race's Three Sect, it wouldn't be surprising if he had gleaned some knowledge of celestial secrets.
Even the legendary founder of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics was said to be a disciple who had left the Demon Sect and established his own school. This made the probability of high-grade celestial secret arts within the Demon Sect quite high.
But sister?
Why would that Demon Sect Lord mislead his disciple like this?
Wait.
Miss Kirin quickly understood the reason behind this.
The fact that she had achieved the One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones was highly secretive within the Taoist sect, only known to those who had achieved transformation. Similarly, her senior disciples wouldn't let such matters be spread around by skilled celestial seers. There were undoubtedly many undisclosed transactions involving significant figures that she was unaware of.
(After all, since a disciple was coming to the royal city, it was quite reasonable for that Demon Sect Lord to remind the disciple to pay attention to matters related to the ruler of the Immortal Nation but it still feels like something's not right?)
Well, in her current situation, things were actually aligning with her intentions. As long as this Demon Sect Holy Saint still believed that she might be the Empress's sister, her achievement of the One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones wouldn't be revealed to him. Her greatest secret was still safe.
What's more concerning was the current situation.
If she lets the other party sense her abnormality and realize the Dream Intrusion technique, given this Demon Sect disciple's powerful deductive ability, he might actually link it to her achievement of the One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones.
Luckily, she was able to control the dream slightly through the Red Dust Dreaming Art, so it shouldn't result in such a minor issue.
Moreover, it seemed that the other party hadn't noticed her earlier reaction.
With this thought, she quietly sighed in relief.
If news of her achieving the One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones were to spread, it would bring her immense trouble. Unless someone she trusted deeply, she wouldn't want them to know.
Although Luo Wusheng had helped her a few times and seemed to bear no ill will toward the Immortal Nation, they had only known each other for half a month. They had barely interacted during that time
However
Feeling the coldness coming from her right wrist, Miss Kirin couldn't help but recall the scene when he gave her the jade at the beginning.
Once she left the dream, the Star-Moon jade ring he had given her would disappear, and the young man before her would consider it a fleeting dream.
(Yes, this is just a dream)
Next, all she had to do was change the course of this dream, and then wait for the effects of the Red Dust Dreaming Art to wear off
"Speaking of which, it's quite rare to be awake in a dream I wonder if the technique of manipulating dreams has been effective all this time."
"???"
Just as Miss Kirin was about to alter the dream scene, she paused.
He can manipulate the dream while being awake in it?
"Let me think The current dream is still quite boring, so let's change it to the scene of the royal city during the night market."
"It's not very exciting to wander through a night market in a dream alone Since I dreamed of Miss Kirin tonight, and since it's a dream, it should be nice to explore together, right?"
The Demon Sect disciple said so, but after snapping his fingers, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Huh? Why isn't it working? Could there be something odd about tonight's dream?"
Inside the residence, in Luo Wusheng's room.
A cute little fox with light red fur emitted a faint glow.
Under the influence of a profound power, those glows converged, hovering in the air, forming peculiar characters.
Eventually, these characters formed an illusory letter, which slowly drifted out of the window.
(This way, Xiao Guai and the others shouldn't worry about me anymore)
The little fox empress looked at the dissipating letter that was gradually moving away, and her tail swayed gently.
Beside that tail, there was another illusory tail, faintly visible.
(For now, I need some rest Once my Three Tails solidify again, my demonic body should recover to the point where I can consume the Demon Emperor Pill)
At that time, she should return to the Demonic Land.
There was no joy in her heart, but rather a sense of complexity. She couldn't help but let out a sigh-like whimper.
With a light leap, her small body landed on the bed.
Luo Wusheng, who had originally been unable to sleep due to sudden drowsiness, now lay there quite obediently, covered by a thin blanket.
The little fox observed the sleeping youth, tilting her head in curiosity.
She wondered what this "Holy Saint" was dreaming about, as his face was adorned with an unusually intense smile.
(Afterward, I'll need to pester him for a few more days)
Gazing at this young man, who was inexplicably intertwined with herself, the previous Empress of the Demon Race, the little fox seemed to smile as well.
Then, her body transformed into a red light, slipping under the thin blanket, and returning to the special storage pouch prepared by Yue Xuanji.
