”As for Chen Yao, that brat took advantage of the chaos to escape!”

After confirming that Chen Yao was alright, Mu Hanning closed his eyes.

”What are you doing here?”

In the late spring, the leaves under the pear tree gently flap the waist of the brocade belt dance with the wind. Ten years had passed since their last meeting, but his face was still as unreadable as it was back then.

”I want to see Anin. I want to see her. ” Chen Yao's voice was hoarse.

He thought he owed her an explanation after all.

His father had threatened him with the life of Anin to be close to the princess. He knew full well that the Princess had come to the Shang Shu Manor to investigate the legend of that eternal life. He shouldn't have tried to hide it from the world. It was his stupidity that killed Anin!

How could he bear to send her into the cold palace? How could he bear to leave her behind? How could he let her die in despair?

But that was indeed the case! Even their daughter, the little girl who should be enjoying the beauty of the world on top of her heart, had no idea where she was.

He did not have the face to see her, so he could only accompany her in her dreams.

”I want a dream.”

Grasping the jade lock tightly, Mu Hanning silently prayed for Chen Yao's safety.

”Are you all right?”

A pot of scented tea arrived from the leaf. When he was flipping through the tray, Mu Hanning discovered that there was a strand of dream associated with Chen Yao on the tip of his finger.

”You went to dream making?”

Ye Xiao smiled, ”Yes, and I don't want to see him!”

With a shake of his body, the jade lock in Mu Hanning's hand shattered into several pieces.

”Why did you kill him?” As the words left his mouth, his voice trembled.

He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before closing his eyes in satisfaction.

”He came to ask for a dream, no matter the cost. ”Unfortunately, he doesn't have anything I want on him, so I can only give him his life in exchange.”

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, clutching his chest as Mu Hanning fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

”A leaf.” ”We made a deal.”

He put down the tea cup and raised his eyebrows. ”What?”

”I want him to wake up at the cost of these mountains and rivers!”

Only he could solve the dream the Dreamer had given him. If you want to destroy the mountains, then do so.

From birth until now, nothing had given her a chance to live. Then she would no longer have to give the world a chance to live.

”Alright.”

The Master sighed. Fifteen years ago, she paid the price of a dream to get out of the dream shop. Now she had returned at the price of a dream.

I can't figure it out.

”However... ”He is not seeking a good fortune with you.” You must know that if someone in your dreams dies, they will never come back. ”

The Master sighed. He only cared about unraveling his dreams, but he could not unravel the knot in his heart. Because of Chen Yao's anger, the Shang Shu Manor was destroyed after killing Princess Minle. If not for Chen Yao's death guard, he would have already died under the barrage of arrows.

A person's heart was like dying embers. Nothing could be saved.

”I'll see him.”

Chen Yao quietly lay in the ice coffin, the corners of his lips curled up in a slight smile as he calmed down. Mu Hanning cried as he held his ice-cold hand.

Chen Yao could no longer wake up.

In the dream, Chen Yao was holding her bone remains as he pulled out a sword and slit his throat. Her Chen Yao would forever be silent in his dreams.
