Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 55 Dream Stealing and Long Sleep: Deceiving the Body!
Li Qiye glanced at Li Yueyao, who quickly sat up straight and said obediently, "Brother Qiye, please continue. I was just saying."

"Stop thinking about fighting and killing all the time. What kind of talk is this for a girl like you?"

Li Qiye looked at Li Yueyao and scolded, "Besides, is the Crown Prince of Northern Wei, Wei Changge, so easy to assassinate?"

"Wouldn't doing this provoke a war between the two countries?"

Upon hearing the first sentence, Wei Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very mature and steady.

But upon hearing the next sentence, she almost fainted.

It turns out that he didn't think fighting and killing was bad, but rather that the Crown Prince of Northern Wei was difficult to kill.

Furthermore, he said that killing the crown prince would bring great trouble.

Judging from his tone, if killing the Crown Prince of Northern Wei were easy, he would probably do it without hesitation.

It seems they really are a family!
"Brother Qiye, you are right to reprimand me. I didn't think things through."

Li Yueyao hurriedly admitted her mistake, showing a very good attitude.

"Alright, let's continue."

Seeing that Li Yueyao was remorseful and had a good attitude, Li Qiye nodded.

He felt it necessary to reprimand the girl, otherwise she was capable of anything and might cause him trouble later.

"Once your innate immortal bones are taken away, they will naturally not grow back. Even if they do, it's not something that can be done now. No one can help you with that; you'll have to work hard to get them back yourself."

Li Qiye said in one breath.

He looked at Wei Ling Shuang, who was listening attentively, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Name: Wei Ling Shuang

[Identity: Princess of Northern Wei]

[Realm: None]

[Physique: Born with immortal bones, now ruined]

[Fate: Full of twists and turns, possessing the bones of an immortal, the body of a terrestrial immortal, but destined for a short and unfortunate life.]

[Luck value: 102]

Status: Investable

[Those with the physique of an Earth Immortal are the easiest to become immortals, but unfortunately, their innate immortal bones were taken away, destroying their martial arts foundation. Now, disheartened, they are destined to die young.]

Her strength doesn't stem from innate immortal bones; that's merely the starting point. Her greatest strength actually lies in her Earthly Immortal physique.

[The host can use the "Three Lives Three Worlds Dream Stealing Long Sleep" technique to successfully deceive Wei Ling Shuang, making her mistakenly believe that she still possesses immortal bones and can cultivate.]

With a luck value of only 102, his fate is full of twists and turns. Apart from being born with immortal bones and the body of an earth immortal, everything else is extremely poor, and he even died young.

Clearly, Wei Ling Shuang was not the protagonist of destiny that Li Qiye had imagined; rather, she was someone who shared his path.

"The solution is quite novel; they actually hypnotized Wei Ling Shuang's body, making her mistakenly believe that she possessed innate immortal bones."

"I never imagined that the divine power of stealing dreams and sleeping through three lifetimes could be used in such a way..."

Li Qiye thought to himself.

To be honest, this fantasy world is not scientific at all.

It's like a person with a terminal illness being successfully hypnotized into thinking there's nothing wrong with their body. Does that mean there really is nothing wrong?

However, after realizing that Wei Ling Shuang possessed the body of an Earth Immortal, Li Qi Ye finally understood.

Even if you don't have the innate immortal bones, you still have the body of an earth immortal!

Under Wei Ling Shuang's expectant gaze, Li Qi Ye said, "Your innate immortal bones were indeed taken away, but you can deceive your body and make it believe that you have innate immortal bones."

"what?!"

"Deceiving your own body?"

Not only Wei Ling Shuang's eyes widened, but Li Yue Yao and Granny Yin Long were also shocked.

However, Li Yueyao quickly realized what was happening. After all, she had tens of thousands of years of memories, and with the memories of her previous life, she immediately understood.

"So that's it..."

This method is definitely possible, but it's extremely difficult. Because it involves deceiving one's own body, and it touches upon both the physical body and the soul, it sounds simple, but in reality, it's incredibly complex to execute.

Li Yueyao once saw a special race among the myriad races in the starry sky. That race cultivated a kind of Daoist method called the Daoist Method of Imagination.

That race does nothing all day but engage in such empty fantasies.

When their cultivation reaches a high level, they can use the power of imagination to materialize their thoughts and present what they imagine.

Of course, the more powerful something is, the higher the requirements for cultivation level and spiritual power.

However, these concrete things are only useful to those who practice the Daoist art of imagination.

Li Yueyao had also consumed rare and precious herbs materialized using the Daoist art of imagination, but nothing happened after she consumed them.

It was as if they were eating air.

At that time, she had a bold conjecture: that she would cultivate the Dao of Imagination and then materialize her brother Qiye.

If that's the case, wouldn't that mean my brother Qiye has come back to life?

However, the result was extremely disappointing to him; Li Yueyao did not succeed in figuring out Li Qiyekong.

Because it is almost impossible to visualize a person.

The saying goes, "The great path leads to the same destination." If this could truly be materialized, it would be equivalent to resurrecting Li Qiye.

Clearly, this was no less difficult than using the Great Dao to revive her brother Qiye, so Li Yueyao gave up immediately.

She also learned that this utopian path had a fatal flaw.

Those who practice this kind of technique must firmly believe that what they imagine is real; otherwise, if their inner resolve wavers, they will die.

In fact, the line between truth and falsehood is often very thin.

"Could it be that the inheritance that Brother Qiye received is the inheritance of that Imaginary Clan?"

Li Yueyao frowned slightly. If that were the case, then her brother Qiye would be in great danger.

Once someone finds out about this, it's easy for him to become suspicious and then his mindset to waver.

"How can I deceive my own body?"

Wei Ling Shuang glanced at her legs subconsciously, but they were hidden by her pants and she couldn't see them.

So she pulled up her pants, revealing her long, fair legs, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Look into my eyes, why are you looking at your own legs?"

Li Qiye's gentle voice came through.

Wei Ling Shuang subconsciously raised her head and saw a light flashing in Li Qi Ye's eyes, like a dream.

Ripples spread outwards, and her consciousness momentarily went haywire; she sat there blankly.

Li Qiye waved her hand, signaling the Silver Dragon Granny next to her to move aside.

Grandma Silver Dragon immediately understood and hurriedly stepped aside.

"This is definitely not a pipe dream."

Li Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this, as she was genuinely afraid that Li Qiye had cultivated such an evil technique.

Because this would mean that he could lose his most important brother, Qiye, again at any time.

The flaws of the Daoist practice of fantasy are too great; unless one cultivates to the highest level, it is impossible to avoid these flaws.

Just then, Li Qiye reached out and lifted Wei Ling Shuang's long, slender, fair legs, his eyes gleaming, and pressed his hand against a spot on Wei Ling Shuang's thigh.

"Is the location of the Immortal Bone here?"

Li Qiye's gentle voice rang out, making Wei Ling Shuang feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze. She subconsciously nodded and said:
"Yes."

"Alright, your immortal bones have returned. The immortal bones you lost were just a nightmare you had, and now the nightmare has been removed."

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself; your immortal bones are right here..."

Li Qiye's gentle voice rang out, as if it came from a very far place.
