Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 281 The Real World

Bai Ze winced in pain; he hadn't felt this way in many years.

Being imprisoned in the jade pendant back then was humiliating enough; must we be humiliated by these ordinary humans now?
Bai Ze stomped his foot hard, and the spiritual power around him exploded, shattering all the talismans surrounding him.

Xu Anyu stared in disbelief at the scene; the power of the divine beast was truly astounding!

Seeing this, Fan Ruichen didn't say anything, but reinforced the strength of his mental barrier and looked at Xu Anyu, saying, "Stay here properly."

As he spoke, Fan Ruichen stepped out of the barrier and faced Bai Ze directly.

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes dangerously. "How dare a tiny ant look me in the eye like that? It really is tired of living!"

Xu Anyu watched nervously. Although he knew that his brother-in-law was hiding his true strength, that was an ancient divine beast! Could his brother-in-law defeat it?
Fan Ruichen chuckled lightly, "I, an ant, am more than enough to deal with you right now!"

"Seriously, what arrogance!" Bai Ze shook his head in disappointment. Are all humans this arrogant nowadays? Does he even know what kind of being he's facing?
Bai Ze is knowledgeable about all things ghosts and gods, both ancient and modern. Therefore, from a very early time, he has been worshipped as a divine beast that drives away ghosts and is considered an auspicious omen. As a divine beast that drives away ghosts and evil spirits, how could his fighting power be weak?

But new talents emerge in every generation. Even in the Dharma-ending Age, it's hard to say that no one with extraordinary talent will be born. At least Fan Ruichen is an exception. After all, not everyone who has been imprisoned in the eighteenth level of hell for many years can escape from hell and even merge their self from another time with their self in this time.

As for how long he had been imprisoned, Fan Ruichen had not yet fully recovered his memories of that time and space, so he himself did not know how long he had been imprisoned. During his time in hell, he experienced a lot. There were not many kind souls who could be imprisoned in the 18th level of hell, and he encountered quite a few who provoked him. Therefore, with Fan Ruichen's current abilities, he was really not afraid of Bai Ze, who was currently in a spirit form.

Fan Ruichen's eyes flashed, while Bai Ze, who had been staring at him, looked confused for a moment, his expression becoming blank, as if he were lost in memories, remaining motionless.

Seeing this, Fan Ruichen closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and stood in front of the barrier protecting Yang Nianqing and the others.

Xu Anyu glanced at his actions, then at Bai Ze, who remained motionless opposite him. Could it be that his brother-in-law had also pulled Bai Ze into his illusion? That absolutely real illusion?
Xu Anyu's guess was correct. Bai Ze only felt a blur before his eyes, and the sensation of his body was completely different. He was originally on all fours, but now he was standing on two feet. Bai Ze looked at his hands, which were long and fair, strong and powerful.

Bai Ze turned his body, revealing an antique-style long robe.

He's turned into human form! Bai Ze touched his face in astonishment. How could this be? Wasn't he just confronting that arrogant human ant? How did he suddenly end up here? And suddenly turn into human form?
Bai Ze looked around at the environment. Time and space here seemed to have been frozen. Everyone was frozen in place, except for him. Bai Ze reached out and poked the person next to him who was frozen in place. The person did not move at all, just like a wax figure. But the touch under his hand was warm and soft. They were alive!
He was absolutely certain that these people were alive, but why did he have this feeling? He was certain that he hadn't lost his memory or anything. He had indeed suddenly arrived at this place and suddenly become human! After so many years, this was the first time he had a physical body, and Bai Ze was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Where exactly is this place? Is it that kid's illusion?
At that moment, a flash of red caught Bai Ze's eye. He quickly looked and saw the figure of a woman in red. It was as if the entire space-time had been unsealed, and everyone came to life.

He found himself in a bustling place, like an ancient market, with various vendors hawking their wares and passersby, all indicating that this was a prosperous ancient city.

Bai Ze stood there, as if forgotten by the world. He really hated humans. Being in a place with so many humans made him feel very uncomfortable, but in this situation, he didn't know where to go or what to do.

Bai Ze closed his eyes and released his spiritual power to sense it. The information fed back to him by the myriad spiritual energies made him frown even more. The information fed back to him by the spiritual energies was that this was a real world, and all the living beings here were alive.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling a strand of hair by Bai Ze's cheek. The breeze carried the aroma of local delicacies, making one's mouth water.

This illusion is simply too amazing! To use a famous saying about cooking, it's perfect in color, aroma, and taste, and you can't see a single flaw in it.

Bai Ze frowned, looking up at the azure sky. Before arriving here, it was clearly nighttime! Bai Ze glanced dangerously at the crowd around him. Should he kill someone to see if these people truly possessed souls?
Although possessing a physical form had always been his dream, after living for so many years, he was still a divine beast. He wouldn't be so easily deceived by this illusion. His true form was currently sealed somewhere, so how could he be so easily transformed back into human form? Possessing a physical form? Therefore, this was definitely that kid's illusion!
This place is too bizarre. That kid isn't some ancient god who created the world, nor is he Nuwa who created humans from clay. How could he possibly create living beings out of nowhere? The only explanation is that this environment feels almost identical to reality. Even if it's just an illusion, to be able to do this to such an extent, in a sense, that human is comparable to a creator god!
This human kid is no ordinary person; he can make even a divine beast feel the reality of this illusion.

Just then, the woman in red came out of the shop. Bai Ze looked over reflexively. For some reason, he felt that this woman had some connection with him, but he couldn't quite remember who she was. He had to find a way to break this illusion!

He had a premonition that this woman must be connected to this barrier in some way. If he could figure out who this person was, perhaps he could break this illusion.

Bai Ze chased after the woman's retreating figure.

They chased her all the way to a secluded bamboo forest, where the woman stopped!
"What's the point of hiding? You're still as annoying as ever, Bai Ze!" The woman in red said indifferently, her hands behind her back.

Bai Ze was startled. This woman knew him! Who was she? He shouldn't have no recollection of her! Could it be that she had slept for nearly a thousand years and her brain had been damaged?
