He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Xu Yi was well aware that if he wanted them to settle down, there was only one way: to become stronger than them.

Only when his strength is enough to overwhelm the two of them can he truly seize the initiative.

So, you still need to get more sleep.

Only in the dream world could he cultivate with such fervor.

Xu Yi rubbed his throbbing temples, his voice filled with exhaustion.

"Ugh, you guys are making my head spin, I'm going to sleep."

After hearing this, Su Qingluan leaned lazily against the bed, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, and spoke casually.

"I have no objection."

If Jiang Xuange weren't around, Su Qingluan would definitely cling to Xu Yi and not let him sleep if he said he wanted to.

But today is different.

After all, she had promised the wooden board that she wouldn't disturb her and Xu Yi's time together for even a day.

Although she just ruined things, we still need to keep our promises to some extent.

Therefore, she chose to let Xu Yi sleep, preferably all day long.

In this way, Jiang Xuange would be unable to do anything.

As for Xu Yi's ability to improve his abilities through sleep, Su Qingluan didn't care about it at all.

What bothers and scares her now is that he'll get involved with other women in that damned "dream" world.

Jiang Xuange stood to the side, her hand trembling, unsure whether to stop him or agree.

If she stopped him, she would seem heartless; if she didn't, she wouldn't want to let Xu Yi go to sleep.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally softened her tone and gently squeezed Xu Yi's hand.

"Well... Xu Lang, you should go to sleep first... but don't sleep too long, it's not good for your health."

Xu Yi nodded and responded, then squeezed her hand in return as a gesture of reassurance.

The moment their fingertips touched, Jiang Xuange's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Xu Yi and suddenly realized that Xu Yi in this life... seemed to have become more handsome?

To be precise, I only discovered it during this meeting.

She was already prone to being infatuated and easily fixated on one person, and now that she saw how...handsome he had become, her obsession only deepened, and she wished she could keep him by her side at all times.

Looking at Xu Yi's profile, she couldn't help but think that she also wanted to sleep with Xu Yi, just like in her previous life, nestled beside him.

Su Qingluan stood up and took in everything, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

She stared intently at the hand Jiang Xuange was holding Xu Yi with, wishing she could chop it off with a knife.

Xu Yi was completely unaware of Su Qingluan's murderous intent. He rubbed his temples, turned around, walked to the other bed, lifted the covers, and was about to lie down.

Su Qingluan's voice suddenly rang in his mind; it was a spiritual transmission.

"Oh, by the way,"

Her voice was light and airy, yet it exploded in Xu Yi's mind like a thunderclap.

"Remember not to provoke other women in your 'dream' world. If they come knocking on my door like Jiang Xuange, I will be heartbroken."

If I'm heartbroken, I'll kill them all...

Xu Yi abruptly stopped, slowly turned his head, and looked at Su Qingluan in shock.

Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

Has Su Qingluan... guessed something? Or does she know something?

Seeing Xu Yi's shocked expression, Su Qingluan's eyes flashed with a smile. She feigned shyness and gently swayed her body.

"Ah~ Why are you staring at my face like that? Do you think I'm more handsome than this mortal next to me?"

"You're making me blush... Go to sleep."

As she spoke, she pretended to be reserved and raised her hand to gently cover her cheek, but her eyes were full of playful laughter.

Xu Yi was completely numb and didn't know what to say.

"Who are you calling less attractive than you? You..."

Jiang Xuange was furious. She was about to retort when Su Qingluan coldly interrupted her.

"Shut up, didn't you see he was going to sleep?"

Su Qingluan raised her hand and waved it, and a beautifully bound book appeared out of thin air in her hand.

She walked to the table and sat down, elegantly crossing her legs, and glanced at Jiang Xuange.

Jiang Xuange's gaze fell on the cover of the book, which read:

How to communicate with ordinary people who are simple-minded and have average physiques

Su Qingluan seemed to think she couldn't see clearly enough, so she deliberately raised the book in her hands.

Jiang Xuange trembled with anger. Not to be outdone, she conjured a book and slammed it heavily on the table, retorting:

Don't get angry when you encounter a self-righteous fool, because it's not worth it.

Xu Yi watched the two men rubbing their books and hurling insults at each other, and shook his head helplessly.

He decided to ignore it altogether, collapsed onto the bed, pulled the covers over himself, and went to sleep.

......

Xu Yi, who closed his eyes and entered the dream world, felt no better than he did in reality.

The stench, a mixture of the smell of corpses and feces, made him vomit again.

Xu Yi staggered and grabbed Qingqing's shoulder, gagging from the stench with every word he spoke.

"Qingqing, how much longer... ugh! Get out of here?"

Qingqing cried because Xu Yi made her vomit; she felt that she no longer had any meaning in living.

She sniffled, gagged, and cried out in a tearful voice.

"Waaah... I still want to vomit... It will take about half an incense stick's time before I can walk out."

Xu Yi felt a pang of guilt seeing her like this.

"I'm so sorry about today... Ugh!"

He raised his hand and patted Qingqing's shoulder, about to say a few more words of comfort, when his stomach churned again.

Xu Yi turned his head away and started vomiting again.

Qingqing glanced down and saw the vomit in her hair. She instantly broke down, letting out a scream that nearly drowned out the braying of the donkey.

"Aaaaah! My hair! Sir, please don't spit it on my head!!! Ugh!"

Half a day later, the exhausted three finally arrived at this abandoned clan territory.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of houses, scattered in a well-organized manner throughout the valley.

Bai Li lay limply on Xu Yi's shoulder, her little head bobbing up and down, looking dizzy.

They were clearly still reeling from the stench.

Its nose twitched slightly, and its eyes were full of confusion, as if it couldn't believe that this was where it was born.

Xu Yi wasn't in much better shape, looking completely exhausted.

Qingqing changed into clean clothes, but her face was still pale and she looked lifeless.

When she saw the relatively intact house not far away, her eyes reddened.

That was her old home.

Xu Yi glanced around and saw that there were tens of thousands of abandoned houses in the valley, lined up one after another, extending deep into the valley.

This number is enough to demonstrate the peak of their group at that time—at least tens of thousands of foxes once lived here.

Xu Yi stroked his chin, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Where can we find any useful clues in such a big place?"

At this moment, Bai Li, who was perched on his shoulder, suddenly raised her head and called out twice in a certain direction.
