The Spirit World

Chapter 98 Like Her

Chapter 98 Like Her
I have memories, I remember everything, and I can't stop for a moment!

The purple scarf in her hand was instantly burned into white ashes by the blue flame of spiritual power, and disappeared into thin air as if it had never existed in this world.

In the peach blossom forest of Bailing Mountain, she was asking for directions to marriage. She was dressed in red and walked away.

【Dongyu Bailing Mountain】

"So, Sister Lin'er has also left Bailing Mountain, right?" Erica stared at Chang Yufeng. He was looking at the clouds outside the pavilion. The clouds were sometimes like birds standing still, sometimes like dragons soaring into the sky, and sometimes like flowing water. In the rolling cloud and mist barrier, there seemed to be a rosy glow emerging, which became even more beautiful against the sunlight.

"Well...she insisted on leaving."

His long black hair, tied up in a bun, and his temples were flickering in the breeze. His eyes were lifeless, like a dim night light. He put his feet on the balcony, lifeless, with his shoulders drooped. He held the sword in his arms. Erica could not see his face, only his profile, and had no idea what his expression was.

There is no need to guess, a lifeless face can never look good.

"I heard," Erica sat next to him, she looked at the cloud he was looking at: "The half-demon boy was picked up by an old gentleman who came out of seclusion, I don't know whether it's true or not." Erica put the sword away, the word "Zhao" happened to be whitish due to the sunlight and could not be seen clearly.

"Um……"

"Did Sister Lin'er say anything before she left?" Erica looked in the direction he was looking. The clouds there had dissipated, and the sunlight shone on Erica's fair face. She squinted her eyes and put her hand on her forehead to block the sunlight.

"No, not a word, not a word left."

"Senior Brother He Chao told me that [Dream Reversal] is not something that you can control, but it will not appear out of thin air."

no respond.

Erica continued: "For Sister Lin'er, something triggered her nightmares. For example, the monkey in a black robe."

He turned to look at him, his eyes shining in the sunlight in the corner formed by the shadow.

"Reversed dreams will trigger things that already exist in a person's subconscious mind, some special abilities, or some special memories. These abilities and memories will be like a hidden black line in the mind of the person who has a reversed dream. After the reversed dream begins, they will appear with the reappearance of certain scenes in the dream, and will continue to exist."

Erica leaned against the wall of the balcony and continued to speak very slowly: "The power of dreams is something that is extremely difficult to explain with common sense. People dream because of their subconscious thoughts or what they see and hear in reality. In Lin'er's dream, there was a burning bird cage and a bunch of strange floating buildings. Maybe it was related to Sister Lin'er's experience..."

"Did He Chao say anything else?" Chang Yufeng stared at Erica, expecting her to say something that would make him more clear about the whole story.

"Brother He Chao also said that everything in a dream is very real, so those who have had a dream reversal need to be treated to distinguish between reality and dreams. If Sister Lin'er confused everything in her dream with reality, perhaps we can understand why she left here, but we still don't know what she subconsciously remembered or confused... that caused her to want to leave Bailing Mountain."

Chang Yufeng listened to Erica's words and fell into deep thought.

In the dream that day, he had been beaten into a coma by the young man in white. He vaguely remembered that he angrily tore Lin'er's shoulders and threw her heavily to the ground. Then, he shouted wildly in a vortex created by the young man in white and disappeared without a trace.

He was unable to move in the whirlpool, allowing it to pull him and roll him around. That was the moment when the dream collapsed, and everything was ruthlessly collapsing, whether it was the floating stairs or the huge birdcage, all quickly dissipated in the whirlpool.

He clearly remembered that a woman in red was also jumping in the vortex. Her skirt was dancing in the wind brought by the vortex. White plum blossoms on her forehead bloomed like flowing light. Her eyebrows, her eyes, and her lips were all so dazzling.

"You are……"

Chang Yufeng struggled helplessly in the whirlpool. The whirlpool of dreams was about to swallow him up. His shattered eardrums suddenly felt extremely painful. When he heard these words, he was in so much pain that he was about to lose consciousness.

"This is impossible!"

She looked at him in surprise. Even though he couldn't open his eyes, the woman in the red dress was blurry in his vision. But for a second, he forced himself to see her clearly.

Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at him with surprise in her eyes, as if everything was beginning to become unreal. Why did Lin'er's appearance appear in front of him or around him so often?
"No, that's impossible!" Her voice once again reached his aching ears. This time his ears were bleeding profusely, and the silent tinnitus made his head begin to ache slightly.

The black goldfish, the grown-up Lin'er, came to him with an extremely unreal and fantastic look.

In the hazy vision, she hesitated for a while, bit her red lips, came to her side, half-raised her, lowered her eyes and could not see anything clearly, surrounded by darkness. After that, it was time to wake up.

Chang Yufeng looked at Erica in the secret room and asked for a glass of water. The tragic scene in his dream left him with lingering fears.

He had never seen a black goldfish before, and he didn't know what was illusion and reality. That golden self, that self in white, that self in black, were they really himself?
Chang Yufeng turned his head and didn't look at Erica again.

He knew that it was definitely not as simple as Erica said. There was no distinction between dreams and reality. Everything that happened in the dream was real, everything about Lin'er.

The Lin'er in the present world, the Lin'er in Wenti County, the Lin'er in Bailing Mountain, the eldest princess in the imperial city of the Ether Empire, and the Lin'er met in the dream, are all real things.

The cloud barrier rolled again, and all kinds of clouds began to change again. The endless doubts never ceased.

Is there anyone who can explain things to him? He needs answers, all the answers.

The answer about how he was deceived into coming to the spirit world, the answer about his parents, the answer about Talon, the answer about the fire in Wenti County, the answer about why he couldn't learn, the answer about why his body was so strange, the answer about the young master of Bailing Mountain, the answer about Lin'er, and the answer about this world.

Who can tell him?
"Brother, I will leave with Master Prime Minister soon."

"Huh!?" Chang Yufeng turned around suddenly and looked at Erica in disbelief.

"Let's go to the more distant fairy mountain [Penglai Jade Island] with Xu Wenwen. The master said that as his last disciples, we will receive all his true teachings."

"Yeah, great, yeah, really."

"Yeah, I thought so too...but..."

"But what?"

"In this way, my brother is left alone again... You are so stupid, I am afraid that the situation like the king will happen again. Fortunately, you were lucky last time, otherwise..."

"This is Bailing Mountain. I am the young master of Bailing Mountain. Don't worry! No, you are the stupid one!"

"Hey……"

"what happened again……"

"No, I just think that given the current situation, it would have been better if I hadn't come to Bailing Mountain..."

"..."

Now, everyone dispersed...

Just like clouds, once they dissipate, there is nothing you can do to hold them back.

"It's okay, Erica, really, I'm in a good mood, don't be too sad."

"I'm just afraid that it's you, brother, who's sad..."

"..."

Silence, speechlessness.

After a long time, he said.
