Douluo: Reincarnation Dragon Egg, hatched by the Silver Dragon King himself

Chapter 154 Past and Present Lives, A Fleeting Dream

Ye Feng rented a small courtyard with Ice Emperor and Bi Ji, planning to recuperate there for a few days and transform into human form once Ice Emperor's injuries were fully healed.

Ye Feng booked a room for Hyotei alone so that she could recover from her injuries.

Ye Feng and Bi Ji each booked a room to rest.

Hyotei was so tired that they fell asleep very quickly.

Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Ye Feng decided to test his new soul skill, Starry Eyes: Myriad Manifestations, directly on Ice Emperor!
Of course, to put it simply, it's about creating dreams.

Ye Feng possessed powerful mental strength, and combined with his soul skills, he casually wove a dream and placed it in Hyotei's arms, where it slowly merged into her body...

The Hyotei next door seemed to sense something, turned over, and then slept even more soundly...

Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for Ye Feng to make a move against Hyotei.

But now is arguably the weakest time for Hyotei, so Ye Feng might as well give it a try.

Whether he succeeds or fails, he won't lose out.

Hyotei is too naive to notice.

……

at the same time.

The sleeping Hyotei has also begun her dream journey...

At the same time, as the dream began, Ye Feng also probed into it with a wisp of his spiritual energy, immersing himself in the experience...

……

Winter of Mingchuan year 112.

A baby was born into the Ye family and named Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was skilled in both literature and martial arts from a young age, and he could speak right after he was born.

He could read widely at the age of 1 and learn martial arts at the age of 2. His extraordinary talent made him a little genius in the eyes of everyone in the surrounding counties.

The Yun family and the Ye family were on good terms. When Ye Feng was 3 years old, he was betrothed to the unborn princess of the Yun family.

Six months later, the Yun family's little princess was born, named Yun Bing'er.

From then on, Ye Feng had a little tagalong following him around.

……

3 years later.

Seven-year-old Ye Feng held Yun Bing'er's hand and buried a peach pit on the sunny slope of Nanshan Mountain.

"The adults say that peach trees are a symbol of good fortune, so let's make a wish together!"

"When the peach blossoms bloom, our wish will come true~" Ye Feng said with a smile, holding Yun Bing'er's little hand.

"Okay~"

Yun Bing'er clapped her hands and smiled sweetly.

After the two made their wishes, Yun Bing'er pulled Ye Feng aside and asked, "What did you wish for?"

"I can't say it, or it won't work anymore," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"It's okay, just tell me secretly, it'll only be the two of us who know anyway~" Yun Bing'er said coquettishly, hugging Ye Feng's hand.

"Okay, okay... I wish for peace and prosperity for the country, and that we can all grow up safely~" After Ye Feng finished speaking, he looked at Yun Bing'er and asked, "What did you wish for?"

"Hehe, I won't tell you, otherwise it won't work~" Yun Bing'er giggled and turned to run away.

"Hey, you can't cheat..." Ye Feng was speechless and quickly chased after him.

……

The scene changes.

The two have grown up; Ye Feng is 15 years old.

Ye Feng lay under the peach tree, his hands behind his head, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, lost in thought.

Yun Bing'er came running over excitedly, climbed onto Ye Feng's back, rested one hand on Ye Feng's body, and with the other hand picked a peach blossom and gently poked the tip of Ye Feng's nose.

"Bing'er, be good, stop making a fuss..."

Ye Feng grasped Yun Bing'er's small hand, somewhat helplessly.

"Brother Ye Feng, when are you going to marry me?" Yun Bing'er tilted her head and giggled.

“You ask every year, ‘You’re too young. You can only ask when you’re older.’” Ye Feng said helplessly, ruffling Yun Bing’er’s hair with his eyes full of affection.

"But I really, really want to marry Brother Ye Feng! Can you please marry me soon? Please... I beg you..."

Yun Bing'er bent down, hugged Ye Feng, and acted coquettishly, blowing her fragrant breath into Ye Feng's ear.

"Hahaha... Stop it, stop it, it tickles!" Ye Feng quickly begged for mercy, laughing, "You're 15 this year, and you'll be 16 next year. When the peach blossoms bloom next year, I'll have my father hold a wedding for us, okay?"

As Ye Feng spoke, he snatched a peach blossom from Yun Bing'er's hand and gently pinned it to her hair.

"Really! You can't lie to me!" Yun Bing'er exclaimed with delight.

"Really~"

Ye Feng nodded.

"Then it's a deal!"

"It's a deal~"

"Hehe, actually, I'll let you in on a secret. When I was little, I made a wish under the peach tree that I would marry you when I grew up~" Yun Bing'er whispered in Ye Feng's ear.

"Wishes won't come true if you tell them out loud, so why are you telling me?"

"Hmph, you just said you'd marry me next year, are you going to go back on your word?" Yun Bing'er grabbed Ye Feng's collar angrily, her eyes full of threat.

"No, no, no, your wish will definitely come true, I will definitely marry you~"

"Hmph, that's more like it~"

……

The scene changes.

At the end of the year, border conflicts escalated, and the country implemented mandatory conscription, forcing anyone aged 15 or older to be drafted.

The city where the Ye family lived was close to the border, and Ye Feng became one of the first targets to be recruited.

"Brother Ye Feng, please don't go..."

At the Ye residence, Yun Bing'er clung to Ye Feng, sobbing uncontrollably.

Behind Ye Feng stood several solemn-faced soldiers, clearly accustomed to such scenes.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back... When the peach blossoms bloom, I will come to marry you," Ye Feng comforted her with a smile.

"Really...don't lie to me..."

"Yes, I'm not lying to you~"

……

Ye Feng is gone.

Yun Bing'er moved her residence next to the peach tree, waiting for the peach blossoms to bloom every day...

……

Winter passes and spring comes.

The peach blossoms bloomed, but Ye Feng did not return.

All that returned was a letter covered in yellow sand, which served as Ye Feng's diary.

I remember the snow falling in the northern frontier like flowers in the south, and the interesting stories about Ye Feng.

The envelope contained the following sentence: "When the peach blossoms bloom, I will marry you."

“Liar…” Yun Bing’er muttered, wiped away her tears, and carefully tucked the envelope into her bosom, keeping it close to her body.

……

The following year, the peach blossoms bloomed.

Yun Bing'er still only received one letter.

The letter stated that Ye Feng had killed eight hundred enemies and was promoted to captain.

Yun Bing'er felt proud of Ye Feng, but at the same time, she was also slightly worried.

……

In the third year, the letter was stained with blood, but the handwriting became even more vigorous.

The fourth year, and it was still the same.

In the fifth year, Ye Feng, the youngest general in the dynasty, became famous throughout the land.

The messenger brought a jade box containing a withered peach blossom from the northern frontier.

……

In the sixth year, the peach blossoms bloomed.

Yun Bing'er sat under the peach tree, her heart filled with anticipation for the letter Ye Feng would send.

She no longer expects Ye Feng to return; she is content as long as she receives letters from him every year.

Because this means that Ye Feng is safe and sound.

Once the war is over, Ye Feng should be able to return...

However, this time, Yun Bing'er did not receive Ye Feng's letter.

A group of soldiers in military uniforms arrived at the Ye family home, their faces solemn, carrying a box of ashes and an obituary.

Ye Feng challenged the strongest member of the enemy faction to a duel, and the two perished together.

But it also brought an end to a major war that had lasted for many years.

The empire's youngest general passed away at the age of 21, a loss mourned by the entire nation.

Yun Bing'er sat quietly under the peach tree for three days, holding Ye Feng's urn, until she fainted.

……

Time flies, and 60 years have passed.

A maid pushed Yun Bing'er, who was sitting in a wheelchair, to the peach tree.

Yun Bing'er is 76 years old this year, with snow-white hair.

Time has etched wrinkles on her face.

The small peach tree of yesteryear now requires three people to encircle it.

After Ye Feng's death in battle, Yun Bing'er never married.

The Ye and Yun families were originally just ordinary families, but thanks to Ye Feng's kindness during his lifetime, they have become prestigious families and moved to the capital.

Yun Bing'er, however, never left, staying here with a few servants.

The peach tree she and Ye Feng planted when they were children has grown into a giant tree and is unexpectedly long-lived.

Every year when the peach blossoms bloom, Yun Bing'er waits here.

But it did not bloom this spring.

"Mistress, it seems the peach blossoms aren't blooming this year..." the maid whispered, gazing at the bare peach tree.

"Yes, the peach blossoms have stopped blooming, he'll never marry me... Liar..."

Yun Bing'er murmured softly, Ye Feng's words still echoing in her mind.

The warm sunlight shone on her, but she felt no warmth at all.

Her body also gradually grew cold with the breeze.

"Mistress... Mistress... Mistress!! Are you alright?!"

"Help! The mistress is..."
