People are fighting, but all members are NPCs

Chapter 116: Entering the Dream Again and Meeting Meng Po Again

Well, jokes are jokes after all.

The Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python ultimately did not accept such a great and resounding name.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to give her a simple and straightforward nickname——

"Little Nine."

After hearing this, the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python blinked its eyes, seeming to be quite satisfied with the name. It then accepted it happily and even patted Xiao Yuan's wrist with its tail to show its approval.

"Xiaojiu or something, is it really nice to listen to?"

Xiao Yuan was a little confused, "Obviously the Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon is better!"

However, he did not dwell too much on this issue.

This was not a compromise between him and Xiaojiu, but simply because there was not enough time.

Because this strange world full of NPCs suddenly welcomed a new visitor.

To be precise, it was an old friend.

"Huh... am I here again?"

The light and pleasant voice echoed quietly in the air.

Xiao Yan—oh no, perhaps she should be called Xiao Yan now—slowly sat up from the bed.

When she opened her eyes and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling, she knew in her heart that she had once again entered this so-called "dream world".

However, her mood at this moment was extremely complicated.

On the one hand, being able to return here means she has the opportunity to transform back into a male body and get rid of this female body that troubles her.

This is undoubtedly what she desires most in her heart.

But on the other hand, the timing was not auspicious.

Perhaps because of Xiao Yuan's intervention, Xun'er's changes, and the influence of various other factors, Xiao Yan's original life trajectory has undergone a huge deviation.

According to the original trajectory, she should have waited until Canaan College came to recruit students before leaving the Xiao family, leaving Wutan City, and going out to gain experience.

However, now all this has happened ahead of schedule.

In addition to being envious of Xun'er's extraordinary strength, the main reason was that guy Xiao Ning.

Ever since the last test, Xiao Ning had been pestering her for unknown reasons, and it was the kind of persistent pestering that kept her going.

They were once sworn enemies, but now they are inseparable every day, which has caused some bad rumors to spread within the Xiao family.

Some people say that Xiao Ning's sexual orientation has changed, while others say that her recent changes seem to be quite big, and her pretty face seems to have become more feminine.

What's more, some people claimed that they smelled the unique fragrance of girls when they passed by her.

If it was just the former, Xiao Yan might be able to accept it, but the latter made her terrified.

If people really found out that she had changed from a man to a woman, the consequences would be disastrous - not only would she become a laughing stock, but even her father would be ashamed.

By then, this news will spread throughout the entire Wutan City, and even the imperial capital!
So, she resolutely chose to leave. However, before she could get far from Wutan City, she entered this dream world again.

What's worse is that this time, Yao Lao didn't seem to come in with her.

"It seems that I can only rely on myself this time." Xiao Yan murmured softly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, stood up from the bed, glanced around, and secretly thought about her next move.

No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, she must face them - after all, this is her only chance.

Creak—at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Yan immediately turned her head and was about to ask who it was, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Her eyes were wide open, her pupils shrank, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she had seen something incredible.

I saw a woman walking in from the door.

She was wearing a bright red long dress and had her hair tied up in an exquisite bun. She had a graceful figure and a face as perfect as a fairy.

Although she no longer had the iconic red umbrella in her hand, Xiao Yan still recognized her at a glance - or rather, even if she forgot anyone in this life, she would never forget this woman.

"You are...Meng Po?!!!" Xiao Yan's voice was filled with disbelief and shock.

"Oh?" Meng Po was slightly surprised when her name was revealed. Then, the corners of her rosy lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "I didn't expect that you, little fellow, still remembered me."

Her voice is soft and distant, as if it carries some kind of magic that makes people unconsciously immersed in it.

"It seems that what the master said was right. You really didn't drink that bowl of forgetfulness powder."

Meng Po walked slowly closer and swept her eyes over Xiao Yan. There was a hint of approval in her eyes, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning hidden in them.

Xiao Yan's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and the scene in front of the Naihe Bridge instantly emerged in her mind.

That bowl of forget-me-not powder with a strange aroma, that meaningful smile, and the temptation of "Drink it and you will forget all your worries."

"You...what do you want to do?" Xiao Yan suppressed the panic in her heart and tried to make her voice sound calmer.

Meng Po chuckled, her eyes as gentle as water, yet unfathomable.

"I'm only following orders and taking you there." She paused, a hint of amusement in her tone, "But now it seems that things are much more interesting than Master expected."

"."

Xiao Yan held her breath, her body tense, not daring to act rashly.

She clearly remembered her teacher's warning that the woman before her was extremely dangerous. Even with her strength, she couldn't fight her head-on. She even felt a strong sense of threat in her presence.

However, Xiao Yan keenly caught a key word in Meng Po's words——

"Master? Whose orders are you following? Is it Xiao Yuan?!"

In this dream world, apart from Xiao Yuan, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could control a being like Meng Po.

Meng Po's smile deepened upon hearing this, and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes. She didn't answer directly, but gently raised her hand, her fingertips drawing an elegant arc in the air, as if plucking some invisible silk thread.

"Little one, you're very clever," she said softly, her tone tinged with approval, yet with a deeper meaning. "But this is clearly before our eyes, so why ask when you already know the answer? Don't wear out my patience."

Xiao Yan's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. The other party's calm and composed expression brought her tremendous pressure.

"Xiao Yuan...what exactly does he want to do?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.

Meng Po chuckled, her eyes as gentle as water, yet unfathomable.

"How can I, an old man, casually speculate on the master's affairs?"

"you"

Before Xiao Yan could react, a bright red sleeve covered her eyes.

"Little guy, you'd better follow me obediently and don't make my master wait too long." Meng Po's voice was soft and distant, as if coming from the distant sky, with an irresistible majesty.

Then, her figure gradually dissipated like a phantom, leaving behind only a faint red afterimage and a cool and mysterious faint fragrance that seemed to penetrate the soul and make people dazed.

And these words echoed faintly.
