My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

She vividly remembered the exchange of glances between Ji Yuan and the girl piloting the mecha during their last meeting—it clearly felt like the interaction between lovers. Now, the bartender was saying that the gray-haired girl suggested the young man before her wasn't so honest in some ways.

She wanted to learn more about Ji Yuan in order to find out why he knew her name.

"Is such that……"

Ji Yuan immediately explained to the bartender about the vandalism of his room, fearing that if he didn't explain clearly, the bartender would see through his true nature as a scumbag. Then, he spat into his drink.

After hearing Ji Yuan's explanation, the bartender didn't look at Ji Yuan with the same look he had for a scumbag. Instead, he looked at Huang Quan with astonishment.

"What strength this heroine possesses!"

With the misunderstanding cleared up, the bartender immediately offered to treat Ji Yuan and Huang Quan to drinks, and also agreed that this time Ji Yuan should not be allowed to secretly give them money again.

So Ji Yuan ordered a glass of juice, while Huang Quan took a drink called 'Awakening from a Dream'.

The two men took their drinks and went to an empty booth next to the lobby.

Chapter 263 Yellow Springs: How Did You Get into My World? [First Update]

"Compared to the world of dreams, the real-life Pinocchio tastes a bit worse."

After taking a sip of the wine in his cup, Huang Quan said to Ji Yuan.

“After all, that’s the real Pinocchio. This is just an outpost to get to Pinocchio. There are many things there that are just dreams, but you can’t have them in reality.” Ji Yuan finished his drink in one gulp.

"However, I still prefer reality to fantasy."

It feels clean and refreshing, quite pleasant.

Although the world in his dream was wonderful, it still felt somewhat lacking to him.

It's better to have something that belongs to you.

"Maybe."

Huang Quan echoed Ji Yuan's words.

She took another sip of her drink, then looked at Ji Yuan and spoke.

"Could you tell me about your past? I don't have much memory left, so I want to see your past."

Huang Quan's eyes simultaneously revealed two completely opposite expressions: indifference and curiosity.

Ji Yuan organized his thoughts and began, "My past? Well, I came from the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. My parents were soldiers in the Cloud Cavalry Army. Then, when I was not yet twenty years old, the Yaoqing Immortal Ship attacked the Buli people, but fell into their ambush. In the end, thanks to my parents' self-destruction, the Yaoqing Immortal Ship turned defeat into victory..."

He started telling the story from his childhood.

She grew up on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship, and after her biological parents died, she was raised by Su Chang's parents. From a young age, she was an outstanding student. Then, a little over a year ago, she went to the Luofu Immortal Ship and became a maritime trade officer in the Tianbo Bureau.

After that,

Learn from Yanqing, embark on a distant expedition against Buli, scheme against Huanlong, become a disciple of Ruan Mei, defeat Huanlong, seek a disciple from Jingliu, and slay Fenfeng...

He spoke of his master, and also of the three Great Kings of Annihilation and the Envoy of Abundance who had been defeated by him. The only thing he didn't say much about was his love life.

Huang Quan listened silently to the side, then drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"What an amazing adventure."

Even she admired Ji Yuan's experiences.

Ji Yuan's experiences were even more legendary than hers, and his talent was astonishing. Huang Quan even had a thought that if Ji Yuan were in her shoes, she wouldn't be able to do what Ji Yuan did.

On the contrary, if Ji Yuan were on her side, Huang Quan even felt that he could go further and be more able to maintain his own identity.

But what puzzled Huang Quan was that Ji Yuan's experiences were all too clear, and there was absolutely no chance for them to get to know each other.

How exactly did he see me?

"I still don't know when you saw me?"

Huang Quan finally voiced his doubts.

"I don't know, maybe it's in a dream, or maybe it's in the future."

Ji Yuan spread his hands and said.

"The future? How could I possibly have a future?"

Huang Quan said calmly.

Her tone was indifferent, which made Ji Yuan feel a sense of pity.

This feeling is very strange.

Huang Quan stood up and ran to the bartender, ordering a cocktail and a drink.

"I want to go to the world of dreams. You'll come with me later."

"it is good."

The two finished their drinks and then left the booth.

When they stood up, Huang Quan was the one who stood up first, but she waited until Ji Yuan stood up and walked towards the corridor of the room before she followed behind him.

As expected, you didn't remember how to get to your room at all...

How do you survive in the universe with such a terrible sense of direction?

Ji Yuan made a sarcastic remark, but then considered Huang Quan's formidable fighting prowess. She could only hope that those affected by Huang Quan's misguided path could calmly accept her apology.

……

Huang Quan followed Ji Yuan to Huang Quan's room, picked up the room card, opened the door, and went inside.

As soon as he entered, Ji Yuan looked around.

Similar to the room layout of Ji Yuan's side, Ji Yuan glanced around to confirm there was no danger and then decided not to look any further.

Huang Quan looked at the Dream Pool in the room, walked to the pool, and beckoned to Ji Yuan: "Come on, let's go into the pool together."

"it is good."

Ji Yuan also walked to the Dream Pool.

The Dream Pool was built to be very large and spacious, and under normal circumstances, it could meet the needs of guests entering a dream. But now, only Ji Yuan and Huang Quan have entered the Dream Pool.

Especially since neither of them were short. Huang Quan was no shorter than the average man, and Ji Yuan was even taller, so it would be a bit crowded for the two of them to enter the Dream Pool side by side.

Seeing this situation, Huang Quan thought for a moment and then pulled Ji Yuan aside.

She said to Ji Yuan, "Wait, hold me tight, only then will the space in the pool be big enough."

"you sure?"

"Ah."

Since Huang Quan had said so, Ji Yuan naturally wouldn't hesitate any longer. He and Huang Quan stepped into the Dream Pool together.

Ji Yuan lay down in the pool first, and Huang Quan nestled in his arms, her forehead resting against his cheek. Ji Yuan held Huang Quan's slender waist tightly. She was tall but very thin, especially her waist, which Ji Yuan could easily encircle with one hand.

Huang Quan was still pressed close to Ji Yuan, her right leg directly pressing against his thigh, their posture incredibly ambiguous. Ji Yuan was somewhat tempted, but a glance at Huang Quan's extremely calm eyes dispelled those thoughts.

Taking advantage of someone without their consent is never a very ethical thing to do.

Even scum doesn't act like this.

Keeping his mind calm, Ji Yuan prepared to enter the dream world. Huang Quan, in his arms, also slowly closed his eyes, intending to enter the dream world as well.

She came on someone's behalf to return a keepsake, but she had no idea who it was for or how to deliver it. She didn't even know who gave her the memories before she drew her sword.

So she wanted to take a walk.

Let's see what this Noconi dream really is.

Huang Quan thought to himself, trying to get closer to Ji Yuan and find a more comfortable position.

Sweet dreams.

Huang Quan closed his eyes, and faintly seemed to hear a woman's soft laughter.

She could still faintly hear such sounds.

"What will happen when a memory I can't enter and a memory I dare not enter come together?"

Huang Quan instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

……

Opened his eyes again.

The surroundings were not the dream world she had visited once before.

Instead, all around was ruins. Rain continued to fall from the gray sky.

An umbrella appeared in Huang Quan's hand.

It separated her from the rain.

here……

Huang Quan quietly observed his surroundings.

All the memories that had been etched into my mind surfaced one by one: the destroyed buildings, the evil gods who had died on the ground, and the people of Izumo, who had become corpses in the distance...

This is her homeland, the now-destroyed Izumo Kingdom.

The planets Izumo and Takamagahara are surrounded by a void star god. The life forms in Takamagahara were first infected by the void, and then transformed into eight million evil gods who came to Izumo to wreak havoc.

The people of Izumo forged swords to fight back, and after a fierce battle, the evil gods of Takamagahara were all wiped out. However, Izumo itself had also been infected by the Void.

If this continues, Izumo will become the new Takamagahara.

The one who appeared beside Huang Quan at this moment was the last of the war.

Why am I here?

Huang Quan thought to himself.

She reached to her waist and took out her makeup tools.

Izumo Province is prone to thunderstorms, so girls are accustomed to carrying their makeup tools with them, and Yomi remembered this custom. So in this dream, she habitually took out her makeup tools.

There was a small mirror inside her makeup bag, which she used to see her current appearance.

Instead of her usual short-sleeved attire, she wore a long white kimono, just like before. And on her head, the horns that had long since disappeared remained.
