Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 477 Dream

"Ah!" Ren Yuan suddenly woke up and sat up.

"Ah Yuan, you had another nightmare?" Xie Zhi, the cousin who came to wake him up, uttered a line he had heard countless times.

Ren Yuan subconsciously hummed in agreement, glancing at the blue cloth covering the ceiling above the bed, and his sickly cousin standing beside him wearing a veil and wide-sleeved robe. He was momentarily stunned.

Was everything I experienced just a dream?

Was all that epic experience just a dream?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ren Yuan shook his head resolutely. "My future is not a dream, it actually happened!"

"What's impossible?" Xie Zhi asked curiously.

"Did I talk to you? Get out!" Ren Yuan glared at him.

"You..." Xie Zhi was so angry that his nose was crooked. But he had been too immersed in playing the good guy and couldn't get out of character for a while, so he could only slam the door and leave in a huff.

Ren Yuan then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to think carefully—he must have been pulled into a dream by the Dream God. Although it was his dream, he was not the one in the dream.

Because the dreamer can change everything at will in the dream, and just now he tried to turn Xie Zhi into a sheep, but failed...

Even in reality, Ren Yuan has the ability to turn people into sheep.

But now he can't do it...

Therefore, this must be a dream created by the God of Dreams using his memories.

Based on his past experience, people should enter dreams as Yin spirits. However, his own Yin spirit had long since transformed into Yang spirit, and the power of the Yang spirit was immense, no less than that of his original self. This was even more true after he advanced to demigod status.

So I must have supernatural powers in my dream, but I was hypnotized and thought I had returned to a time when I didn't have supernatural powers.

His current state is still similar to a lucid dream, and in a lucid dream, a person can do anything without restriction.

Now, the most important thing is to break free from the Dream God's shackles and reclaim my own magical power!

"This is my territory, I'm in charge!" Ren Yuan shouted. "I want to become my future self!"

After shouting, there was no response. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Luckily, no one was around, or it would have been so embarrassing.

In the end, someone overheard it.

"What are you yelling about?!" At this moment, the Third Young Master angrily pushed open the door, followed by Coach Ma, who was rolling up his sleeves.

"You've come at the perfect time," Ren Yuan said with a smile. "Third brother, come here."

The third young master came to avenge his eldest brother and grandson. Upon hearing this, he walked up to Ren Yuan, wanting to see what kind of madness Ren Yuan was going through.

"what's up?"

"What is it? I've wanted to slap you for a long time!" Ren Yuan then raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.

The third young master was instantly whipped into a spinning top, five or six of his teeth were knocked out, he was completely disoriented and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up...

"How dare you!" Instructor Ma was furious upon seeing this and stepped forward to seize Ren Yuan.

“Come on, let’s have a spar.” Ren Yuan then got into a fighting stance and began to spar with Coach Ma.

Back then, he was no match for this guy surnamed Ma; he only managed to get through with the help of Red Leopard.

Although he can only exert the strength of one aperture at present, his fighting experience and skills are vastly different from what they were back then.

Ren Yuan and Instructor Ma fought from the house into the courtyard, exchanging blows fiercely!
The servants all rushed to watch, even the cats in the manor were no exception. Ren Yuan unleashed a series of powerful kicks, sending Instructor Ma flying. He landed steadily on one leg, surveying the crowd with disdain, about to ask, "Who else?"

But then he caught sight of the tabby cat watching the battle and exclaimed with delight, "Wenli, quickly bark at me!"

That was a signal awakening him from the depths of his memory!
To prevent being hypnotized by the old witch, he first hypnotized himself and made an agreement with Wenli to wake himself up with a cat's meow.

My current memory has established the understanding that 'a cat's meow equals waking up.' Since this dream is based on my own memories, this understanding is probably still valid!
Ren Yuan shouted excitedly, while the tabby cat stared wide-eyed, unsure how to react.

But he can't possibly make a sound, which would mean he can understand human speech, wouldn't it?

Of course, leaving immediately wouldn't be appropriate either. Wenli pretended not to understand human speech and lazily lay down to bask in the sun.

"Damn it..." Ren Yuan rolled his eyes in anger.

"Attack him together! Take him down!" At this moment, the Third Young Master, with half of his face covered in pig's head, rushed out of Ren Yuan's room.

He had never suffered such a humiliation in his life. Even if it made his eldest grandson sad, he would break both of the boy's legs!
"Go!" Coach Ma shouted, leading his men to rush towards Ren Yuanfei.

While dodging, Ren Yuan shouted at the civet cat on the wall, "Stop pretending! I came from the future to save the Mountain Goddess. You, Red Leopard, and Liu Zhongjun will all be good friends in the future!"

"..." Wenli remained unmoved.

As the saying goes, even a strong tiger can't beat a pack of wolves, let alone Ren Yuan, who was now just a sick cat. In the end, he was cornered by the crowd and forced to the ground.

Before he was overwhelmed by fists, he finally remembered the secret Wenli had told him and shouted, "You're most afraid of mice!"

"Meow..." The tabby cat finally couldn't hold back and let out a loud meow, whether out of embarrassment or because it finally believed Ren Yuan's words.

The servants held Ren Yuan down tightly, ready to beat him up as the Third Young Master had ordered, but suddenly a bright light shone from his body, so bright that they couldn't open their eyes!
The light grew increasingly intense, engulfing everyone in the blink of an eye. Finally, the entire Xie Family Village vanished without a trace under its glow…

~~
Ren Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he had finally returned to the banks of the Yellow River.

Standing in front of her was a woman dressed in black, who resembled Nangong.

The woman seemed surprised that Ren Yuan could break free from the dream so quickly, and hadn't even had time to put on her veil.

Ren Yuan stared intently at her face, noticing that her features were exactly the same as Nangong's, only her eyes were sharper and her demeanor more imposing and unapproachable...

Just like the one I saw in the eyes of the soul-binding ghost back then.

"Should I call you Sister Nan, or Lady Dream God?" Ren Yuan asked.

The woman stopped covering her face and said indifferently, "Whatever."

"Then I'll still call you Lord Dream God." Ren Yuan then asked with a smile, "May I ask why you, sir, stopped me from killing Erzhu Rong?"

“I promised to help him,” the Dream God replied.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan scoffed, "My lord, as the guardian deity of my Southern Dynasty, is it really appropriate for you to help my Southern Dynasty's enemies and fight against my Southern Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army?"

But the Dream God was unmoved by his provocation, and simply said calmly, "It is the Buddha who protects the Southern Dynasty, what does it have to do with me, the Dream God?"

Ren Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I've never seen such a shameless person as you. You've become a god and you're still so shameless. How can you expect people to love and respect you?"

"I don't need to be loved, I can be feared too," the Dream God said calmly.

"So, you admit you're shameless?" Ren Yuan couldn't help but laugh loudly.
