Chapter 269 - Dream Array (2/2)

Wu Qianyu followed the directions given and laid down in the first bed with the Purple Jade Sword hugged across her chest.

The bed and the pillows were soft and comfortable and she was instantly surrounded by a thick layer of warm spiritual energy. It was as if she was wrapped up in a cocoon.

She instantly became drowsy. It was simply too comfortable; it was almost bliss. She instinctively tried to fight it but she remembered Chen Wentian's words and quickly relaxed. A few moments later, or perhaps it was an eternity later, she drifted off into the land of dreams with the smiling face of her master and lover at the forefront of her thoughts.

”Talented! Really good!” Gong Liyun praised once she sensed Wu Qianyu enter the dream world, ”You prepared them well.”

”Naturally, I always need to be prepared around you.” Chen Wentian retorted.

”Hehehe, Wentian, you're so mean. Don't be like that…”

Instead of sounding cute and adorable, her words made all the men in the room shudder, not just Chen Wentian.

”Anyways, Peng Xiling, you're next.”

”Yes, Lady Immortal!”

”… Okay, good. Long Yifei, your turn.”

Long Yifei bowed gracefully and laid down in the third bed. Her every action was flawless. At this proximity, her allure was on full blast. All the men still awake, even the immortals, were forced to stare at her every movement with hungry eyes.

Chen Wentian wanted to rip their eyeballs out but he couldn't afford to do so. At least she was still wearing her veil. Otherwise, he would have started charging these people money for how much they were looking.

Long Yifei didn't notice Chen Wentian's discontent or the rude gazes. She was solely focused on the task ahead of her. She had prepared for this for many weeks, getting her mind into the best possible state to take full advantage of the dream.

What she wanted to do, what she hoped for, was something even Chen Wentian didn't know about. She kept it hidden from everyone, even him. It was not anything hurtful or malicious, it was simply because she wanted to know… know about her past. It was not her past in Glacier Palace that she wished to explore in the dreamscape but before that. She wanted to revisit the memories of her childhood which was locked behind the perpetual fog of time.

Her previous master, Murong Aiyin, found her alone in the snowy mountains when she was four years old. Before that point in time, she had no clear memories. There were only fleeting shadows, unfamiliar scenes, and most importantly, several unrecognizable faces. Her memories were a jumbled mess but she hoped that the dream array would be able to unlock them.

Unlike Wu Qianyu who buried her past and looked forward towards the future, Long Yifei was the complete opposite. She felt trapped by her fuzzy memories and by her mysterious physique. If she did not resolve her past, she was sure that she would never be able to break through and reach the immortal realms…
