Lin Yun certainly wouldn’t take advantage of the innocent girl’s dream to do anything to her.

To avoid any complications, he didn’t even bother with idle chatter and promptly started reciting the spell.

The first four lines he recited were quite cool, but shouting "Come out, Doraemon!" felt excruciatingly embarrassing.

However, in order to get out, Lin Yun had no choice but to shout it.

Lu Lihua watched Lin Yun in complete confusion.

She had no idea why her husband suddenly started chanting such strange and seemingly foolish things.

But as he continued his incantations, Lu Lihua gradually became more alert.

She seemed to have been dreaming just now.

In her dream, because she had made significant contributions in the defense of Ziyang City, the Palace Master wanted to reward her, and she boldly asked for Lin Yun.

The Palace Master, deeply moved by her pursuit of love, along with high-ranking officials from other sects, such as the Elder Lin Yu of the Shenxiao Sect and the Sect Hierarch Dongfang Hongyue of the Red Lotus Sect, all unanimously agreed to let Lin Yun marry her.

So, amid everyone’s blessings, she and Lin Yun were joyously wed.

But at the crucial moment of entering the bridal chamber, the Lin Yun in the dream became somewhat strange, and it was precisely because of Lin Yun’s strangeness that she realized she was dreaming.

The dream world was slowly collapsing, but fortunately, a light door appeared in front of Lin Yun, and this was the Anywhere Door.

The door was created by thought and also opened by thought. Without hesitation, Lin Yun pulled the Dream Eater and stepped out of Lu Lihua’s dreamscape.

As soon as he stepped out, he heard a startled cry.

"Ah!"

Just waking up from the dream, Lu Lihua opened her eyes to find an extra person on her bed, and she instinctively let out a scream, but upon closer inspection, it was Lin Yun.

Lin Yun is on my bed?

Lu Lihua was shocked for a moment, then she was overjoyed.

I must still be dreaming.

If so, since Lin Yun is already on the bed, why not continue?

Lu Lihua happily snuggled into Lin Yun’s arms and said, "Husband, let’s consummate our marriage!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Your brain must be broken!

He never thought that after Lu Lihua’s scream, she wouldn’t push him away or run. Instead, she threw herself at him, wanting to consummate the marriage.

It just goes to show that a man must always protect himself when he’s out and about.

Just as Lin Yun was about to gently push Lu Lihua away, there was a clang as the door was abruptly opened.

"What’s wrong!"

The person who came asked anxiously, but when she saw what was going on in the room, she froze on the spot.

Lin Yun looked towards the sound and stood rooted to the spot as well.

Ah, how could Jiang Chenyu be here?

This was the very question Jiang Chenyu wanted to ask.

Why is Lin Yun here!

She stared at Lin Yun in shock and even began to doubt her eyes, wondering if someone was impersonating Lin Yun to deceive others.

But she sensed Lin Yun’s aura carefully, and it was unmistakably him!

Weren’t you supposed to find Bai Jiaojiao and then secretly observe?

Your secret observation led you to one of my disciple’s beds?

Jiang Chenyu’s presence here was also not a coincidence. In today’s battle, she noticed that Lu Lihua performed well, was brave and smart, and happened to be pretty, so Jiang Chenyu was considering her for the role of the next Saintess.

Among the many new disciples, Lu Lihua was one of the better ones.

As for those who had previously failed to compete with the Flower Fairy, and even more so with Gu Qingmeng, Jiang Chenyu had no intention of choosing any of them as the Saintess.

Firstly, failing at that time meant their capabilities were lacking.

Secondly, failure often left psychological scars, which could turn into Heart Demons. If they became the Saintess, they would inevitably compare themselves with the Flower Fairy and Gu Qingmeng. Constantly being petty would mean they had deviated from the Righteous Path.

Therefore, it has always been rare for the major sects to choose a successor from among those who failed, unless someone was truly extraordinary but just got overshadowed temporarily, only then might an exception be made.

Jiang Chenyu thought that Lu Lihua was quite good, which was why she made a secret visit late at night. Unexpectedly, as soon she arrived, she heard Lu Lihua’s startled cry.

She was worried that the Grassland People had sent someone to attack treacherously, or that someone was causing trouble here. But upon opening the door, she heard Lu Lihua’s words and caught the person on the bed.

Jiang Chenyu’s gaze went from shock and confusion to anger, then from anger to a feeling of being wronged. These intense emotional fluctuations were particularly dramatic, and her big eyes were full of expression, clearly conveying her feelings.

"Why are you here!"

Jiang Chenyu stared at Lin Yun, demanding an explanation.

Upon seeing the Palace Master arrive and her sweet dream turning into a nightmare, Lu Lihua also felt unhappy. But feeling the warm heat from Lin Yun’s body, she suddenly realized that she might not be dreaming.

She jumped away as if burned by fire and then looked down at her clothes.

She was still properly dressed, what a pity.

So here’s the question, if this isn’t a dream, why is Lin Yun here?

Jiang Chenyu’s question was exactly what she wanted to ask.

"That’s a long story."

Under such circumstances, Lin Yun was far from panicked.

If anything, he was used to these minor predicaments.

Unless Dongfang Hongyue decided to join in.

"What happened, I just heard a cry of alarm..."

As if on cue, Dongfang Hongyue’s figure appeared perfectly on time.

Lin Yun: ...

My darn mouth.

Ziyang City was now fully on alert, and the war had reached a fever pitch. According to Lin Yun’s plan, although they were ultimately going to lose, nobody wanted to admit defeat in front of the Snow Maiden. What shouldn’t be given couldn’t be given—it was better to let them fight their way in if they could.

The Snow Maiden thought the same. Her previously invincible moves were now evenly matched in front of Lin Yu, and now it was merely a comparison of the absolute strength of both sides.

Therefore, the siege began at this moment in earnest.

It was within reason for Dongfang Hongyue to secretly patrol against enemy sneak attacks.

This patrol resulted in Lin Yun being arrested on the spot.

A minor predicament, no panic.

Dongfang Hongyue had forgotten how many times she had caught someone red-handed, but this was indeed the first time she had caught someone in the act on a bed.

All those she had caught in bed in the past, and the only one actually in bed this time, wasn’t real.

"Wait for me to deal with this creature, then I’ll explain everything to you," Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun knew that appearing guilty would only make his words less persuasive, so he faced the situation with composure, diverting everyone’s gaze to the bound Dream Eater.

At this moment, the Dream Eater was also panicked. It had only known its own invincibility before and had been so arrogant in front of Lin Yun because it wasn’t afraid of dying. It didn’t mind being captured either, as it knew it would be freed when the time came.

But it hadn’t expected to encounter such a ruthless person now.

Only then did Dongfang Hongyue and Jiang Chenyu notice that Lin Yun had brought along a peculiar thing.

The Dream Eater could change its color based on its surroundings, and its presence was rather inconspicuous. Jiang Chenyu and Dongfang Hongyue had been so focused on Lin Yun that they hadn’t noticed it at first.

Now that Lin Yun had pointed it out, Dongfang Hongyue curiously said, "What sort of dog did you catch here? It’s so strange!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenyu responded with a forced smile, "Comrade Dongfang, this creature should be a Oneirophagus, with short forelimbs and a head like a wolf. It’s likely a variant of the Oneirophagus."

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

So you’re just showing off your knowledge, huh?

"This creature is called a Dream Eater, a strange monster I caught in the Secret Realm. It also possesses the characteristic of immortality. If it weren’t weak at the moment, it would certainly become a scourge in the future, so I decided to deal with it now," Lin Yun explained.

"Immortality?"

At Lin Yun’s words, both Jiang Chenyu and Dongfang Hongyue perked up, not the least bit sleepy anymore. Lu Lihua, being less powerful, also understood how formidable immortality could be.

They even suspected Lin Yun was mistaken.

Soon, they witnessed Lin Yun’s display of tearing apart the Dream Eater.

The Dream Eater was torn to pieces but quickly reassembled itself. It tried to escape when its body was reforming but ran headfirst into an electric web and was captured again.

"Now you see, tearing it apart won’t kill it. Now I’ll use Thunderbolt..." Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun swiftly demonstrated on the Dream Eater with thunder strikes and fire, fully showcasing its rapid regeneration from destruction.

Then, he incinerated it with a bolt of lightning and fire, reducing it to ashes.

Previously, Lin Yun hadn’t used Meritorious Divine Fire or Golden Thunderbolt, just standard Thunder Law, with fire being managed by Dongfang Hongyue.

After all, it was just a demonstration.

When he finally deployed Golden Lotus, the Dream Eater was utterly obliterated, not even leaving ash behind - it burned very cleanly.

Without the cats from the Dream Mirage Divine Realm, the Dream Eater’s power to resurrect was like a rootless duckweed.

Yet Lin Yun still didn’t feel satisfied. Unable to kill the Dream Eater through slaughter within the God Realm, and although he reached his goal, he always felt something was off, like an emotion, unexpressed.

Jiang Chenyu, Dongfang Hongyue, and Lu Lihua, having watched Lin Yun’s series of maneuvers, were all drawn in by the strange creature and momentarily forgot to mention the issue of Lin Yun being found in Lu Lihua’s bed.

Lu Lihua had her own suspicions.

Of course, Lin Yun wouldn’t have appeared out of nowhere, leading her to think about the strange aspects of her dream involving Lin Yun, perhaps, at that time, it had already been him.

Entering someone’s dream realm is like intruding on their soul, the most private place a person could have. Lu Lihua was shocked that Lin Yun had so brazenly barged in and then left just as roughly. Filled with embarrassment and not knowing what to say to Lin Yun, she remained silent.

Clearly, he was now surrounded by Dongfang Hongyue and Jiang Chenyu.

Lu Lihua knew that Lin Yun had conflicts with both women. He had previously kidnapped the Palace Master and was caught with great difficulty by Dongfang Hongyue and her master, barely escaping. She didn’t know why he had come back, but the situation was certainly very dire.

"This isn’t a place for talking; perhaps, we should change the location," Lin Yun suggested.

Lu Lihua interpreted his words as if they were going to find a place to fight.

Jiang Chenyu and Dongfang Hongyue certainly wouldn’t refuse and nodded accordingly.

How could Lin Yun possibly be their match? I must protect him!

With that thought, Lu Lihua hurriedly explained to Jiang Chenyu, "Palace Master, please don’t misunderstand. I threw myself at Lin Yun; it has nothing to do with him!"

With those words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted.

Lin Yun: "..."

Maiden, I have no quarrel with you, why would you set me up like this?
