Chapter 147 Dream

“No,” Ye Xi’an said, pointing at Ji Jiangci and then at herself, “You should be mine.”

Ji Jiangci understood Ye Xi'an's words and his eyes darkened. Several slender vines grew from his roots and quietly wrapped around Ye Xi'an's ankles and calves: "Then I am yours, you have to give me benefits."

Ye Xi'an was taken aback. She had nothing now; she couldn't use her spiritual power, and she had no space left. What benefits could she possibly offer him?

Right! She needs to take advantage of her human form and quickly find out what's going on.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Ji Jiangci."

"Hmm?" Ji Jiangci frowned, looking at Ye Xi'an with disapproval.

Ye Xi'an immediately understood what he meant and awkwardly exclaimed, "Dream, hahaha."

That name sounds really cringeworthy, doesn't it?

"Ah."

Do you know why you're here?

Ji Jiangci tilted his head, his face still devoid of human expression: "I've always been here."

"You've been here since birth?" Ye Xi'an glanced at Ji Jiangci's lower body when he mentioned birth. What exactly is Ji Jiangci now? If he is a plant, does he still have the concept of birth? Could he have grown from a cutting of another plant?

Such a ridiculous idea made Ye Xi'an unable to hold back any longer. She quickly shook her head and changed her question: "Do you remember what you were like when you first became conscious? And did you see any other people?"

Ji Jiangci nodded; his memory had always been excellent.

"Are you asking about my childhood?"

"Uh-huh."

“When I was a child, I was just a blade of grass,” Ji Jiangci began to reminisce about his past with Ye Xi’an.

When he was a child, he was just a blade of grass swaying in the wind. He liked to grow on the Dream Stone, where he could absorb energy to grow faster. Later, a group of strange-looking things would always pull him off the Dream Stone.

In order to survive, he could only drive his roots to take root on other dream stones. Over time, his form gradually changed and became what it is now.

His upper body was just like those strange-looking creatures, but he was much better looking than them.

"Strange-looking creatures?" Ye Xi'an frowned, guessing that Ji Jiangci was referring to the orcs. He probably learned the language by listening to orcs talk a lot.

“Yes, he looks a lot like you. No, wait,” Ji Jiangci stared intently at Ye Xi’an’s face, “You’re much prettier than them.”

Ye Xi'an didn't notice the word "also" that Ji Jiangci used, assuming he was just praising her looks: "Have you seen them recently?"

“That’s all!” Ji Jiangci’s usually expressionless face revealed a hint of smugness: “I’ve hidden all the Dream Stones, so they won’t come if they can’t find them.”

Ye Xi'an was taken aback; all the clues had come together.

Qiu Yi previously said that the Dream Weaver Star had mutated and the Dream Stones had suddenly disappeared.

The task system warns task participants not to be deceived by beautiful dreams, or they will be eaten in their dreams.

There were also the flowers that suddenly bloomed on the ground before she fainted, the scattered points of light, and Ji Jiangci's bizarre yet real experience.

The truth was becoming clear. She scanned the vines in the cave. When she first arrived, the vines were lush and green, but now the leaves had fallen to the ground. Ye Xi'an felt a pang of pain in her heart. Something was preventing her from understanding the truth. She pinched her leg hard, and the sharp pain brought her back to her senses.

She grabbed Ji Jiangci's arm: "Ji Jiangci! We're dreaming! Wake up!"

Ji Jiangci simply looked down at his snow-white arms, a hint of emotion he had never felt before appearing in his eyes.

He didn't know what that emotion was; he only knew that if this really was a dream, he hoped he would never wake up.

Besides, he wasn't dreaming.

“My name is Meng. If you call me by the wrong name again, I’ll get angry,” Ji Jiangci said, clumsily mimicking the expressions of the strange creatures he had seen before, making a grimacing, angry face.

"I'm not kidding you!" Ye Xi'an wanted to punch Ji Jiangci's lion head to smash it open when he was acting cute at this moment.

But when she calmed down, she realized she had been too hasty. Yes, Ji Jiangci had lost his memory.

No, Ye Xi'an's usually gentle and weak eyes suddenly turned sharp. It should be said that Ji Jiangci has now become the culprit of the second mutation!
For reasons unknown, he actually transferred his memories to Ji Jiangci.

Could it be that he thinks his life is a beautiful dream that can trap Ji Jiangci? But looking at Ji Jiangci who is still baring his teeth, Ye Xi'an slapped his forehead and realized that he really had trapped him.

"Wake up, my husband!" Ye Xi'an was no longer afraid of Ji Jiangci. She hugged Ji Jiangci's shoulders and shook him gently, trying to wake him up.

Just as Ye Xi'an was about to say something, she suddenly felt the world in front of her rapidly increasing in height, and she transformed back into her cat form.

"Meow~"

"Meow?" Ji Jiangci looked at Ye Xi'an, who had disappeared, with some disappointment. He clearly preferred furry things, but why was he now more looking forward to what Meow would look like after it changed?

But it's okay, even a cat like this is cute.

In a cave with some withered leaves, a ragdoll cat sat forlornly at the entrance.

God knows how anxious she was watching the leaves wither day by day. She was now almost certain that the vitality of these leaves in the cave represented Ji Jiangci's life force, and that the real dream was drawing energy from Ji Jiangci.

But in her current state, she is completely powerless and has no idea how to get out of this dream.

She wondered if dying would allow her to escape. But she was also afraid that if she died in her dream, she would really die.

"Sweet dream, sweet dream," these two words kept flashing through Ye Xi'an's mind. Since dreams keep people in the world by creating beautiful dreams, perhaps destroying this beautiful dream would solve the problem?

Thinking of this, Ye Xi'an looked at the tidy cave. Every day, the first thing Ji Jiangci did when he woke up was to clean the cave thoroughly. He truly deserved to be called a virtuous and good husband and a top scholar. Even though he had lost his memory, he still loved cleaning so much.

I'm sorry, Ji Jiangci, but for your sake, I have to say sorry.

"Meow--"

The tiny Ragdoll cat let out a sharp meow and charged toward the central hammock.
Meanwhile, Ji Jiangci, who was hunting in the distance, seemed to have a telepathic connection with Ye Xi'an and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the cave halfway up the mountain.

“My cat is meowing,” he said.

The next second, his lower body's root system suddenly swelled, and his running speed was no less than that of Bo Jing.

But when he returned to the cave, he was dumbfounded.
