Now that things have come to this, Ye Yun is certain that it was all a dream.

Now he relaxed and looked around the Crystal Palace, finding it to be like a completely enclosed building.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yun's gaze fell on the crystal coffin.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is this person...?"

His gaze passed through the crystal coffin, landing on the woman in the red dress lying inside.

Judging from its appearance alone, it looks a bit like the female ghosts in horror movies who died unjustly.

Even though he knew it was a dream, Ye Yun still felt a little nervous as he got closer.

"Just take a sneak peek, there shouldn't be any problems..."

Driven by intense curiosity, Ye Yun stepped forward, intending to take a look at the woman inside the coffin.

Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the woman in the red dress was wearing a veil, making it impossible to discern her features.

Or... push the coffin aside and take off her veil?

However, just as he had this idea...

The woman in the crystal coffin suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight at him.

"Wow!"

Ye Yun's pupils contracted slightly, just like when you're intently looking at something and suddenly something terrifying jumps in your face.

"grass!"

Almost instantly, he was so frightened that he opened his eyes abruptly and sat up at the same time.

And Ye Yun couldn't help but let out a shout.

"..."

Looking around at the familiar room, he finally calmed down a little.

"It really was just a dream..."

The problem is, a person can't dream all the time.

At the same time, you will not dream of things you have never seen before.

He not only kept having the same dream, but he was also certain that he had never seen the crystal palace and the woman in the coffin in that dream.

"Could it be that there's something dirty in the Black Abyss?"

Besides that, there's really no other way to explain what happened to me.

After the fright he had just experienced, Ye Yun found himself unable to fall asleep.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Huh? Who is it?"

Ye Yun frowned, instinctively becoming wary.

Unexpectedly, Si Ruyin's voice came from outside the door.

"Junior brother, it's me."

"..."

Ye Yun was taken aback for a moment. Although it was a bit strange, he still got up and opened the door.

Sure enough, standing at the door was Si Ruyin, and she was only wearing a nightgown.

Her beautiful body was covered only by a thin nightgown, which looked quite alluring.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"Senior sister? Is something wrong so late?"

Upon hearing this, Si Ruyin pursed her lips, looked up at him, and said.

"I was in my room when I heard you making noises here, so I came to check."

After saying that, she peeked into the room.

"Junior brother, what happened to you just now?"

"Uh, no."

Ye Yun was a little embarrassed and explained it to him.

"I had a nightmare that scared me awake, and now I can't fall back asleep."

Hearing him say that, Si Ruyin became a little curious.

"Nightmare? What kind of nightmare?"

"It's nothing, it's just..."

Ye Yun briefly recounted the content of his dream to the other party, which was not complicated at all.

"The same dream? That is indeed a bit strange."

Si Ruyin seemed to be deep in thought, as if she was considering the possibilities.

Ye Yun waved his hand in response.

"It's okay, it's all in the past anyway, senior sister, don't worry about me."

"How can that be!"

Si Ruyin looked at him seriously, then took his hand and said gently.

"Junior brother, don't be afraid. Didn't you say you couldn't sleep? Then your senior sister will stay here with you."

To be fair, Senior Sister Si is indeed gentle and a responsible and good senior sister.

But for that very reason, Ye Yun shook his head and smiled.

"No need to trouble yourself, senior sister. You should go and get some rest too; there's special training tomorrow, isn't there?"

But to my surprise, this time my senior sister was unusually tough.

"No! Your senior sister must accompany you; otherwise, it would be incredibly irresponsible of her!"

"Huh? This..."

Ye Yun was about to politely decline, but suddenly stopped.

He looked at his senior sister in front of him, and as if he had thought of something, his expression became strange.

"Wait, senior sister..."

"What's wrong?"

Si Ruyin's delicate body visibly stiffened for a moment.

At this moment, Ye Yun looked her over and asked with a playful expression.

"Hey senior, is it because you can't sleep at night and want me to keep you company?"

"No...no, that's not true."

Si Ruyin immediately shook her head in denial, but...

Looking at her slightly flushed face, Ye Yun said helplessly.

"Senior sister, you're really bad at lying."

"I……"

Having her thoughts exposed, Si Ruyin immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

In fact, Ye Yun had only just realized it himself.

You should know that his second senior sister's room wasn't next to his.

Logically speaking, even if I made a sound, I shouldn't have woken her up.

This situation only proves one thing: the other person wasn't asleep at all, which is why they heard the faint sounds he was sending.

"Senior sister, tell me about it."

Ye Yun looked at Si Ruyin, sighed softly, and asked.

"What happened? What could possibly keep you up at night, Senior Sister?"

When asked, Si Ruyin remained silent for a moment.

Then, she pursed her lips and said.

"Junior brother, can we go inside first?"

"no problem."

Ye Yun smiled and nodded, then invited her into the room.

After entering, Si Ruyin sat directly on the bed, hugging her knees with both hands, looking withdrawn.

"Junior brother, I feel like I can't do anything..."

Such heavy words right off the bat puzzled Ye Yun.

"Senior sister, why did you suddenly say that?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Is it because of the special training?"

As expected, Si Ruyin nodded.

"Well, these past two days..."

She recounted her special training to Ye Yun, as well as the events that occurred during that time.

It's basically watching those almost real people being brutally murdered right in front of you, over and over again.

Although she knew it was fake, those bloody images kept haunting her mind.

As a result, she now thinks about these things every time she closes her eyes, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

"So that's how it is..."

Ye Yun sighed, thinking that his senior sister was sometimes too kind.

However, instead of criticizing the other person, he stepped forward and gently comforted them.

"It's alright, senior sister. Those were just illusions. I suppose the senior hopes that if you encounter the same thing in the future, you will be able to better protect everyone."

"I know it's all fake, and it's meant to help me, but I just can't stop thinking about it, and then I get really scared..."

"It's okay..."

Ye Yun reached out and patted her head, smiling.

"You still have me and your senior sister. Everyone will be by your side, so don't be afraid."

"Um……"

Si Ruyin pursed her lips and nodded gently.

Then, she looked up at Ye Yun.

"Junior brother, may we... cultivate together tonight?"

"what?"
