Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

At the same time, a sweet fragrance, a blend of exotic scents and a woman's natural body odor, enveloped him like a gentle stream.

The scent carried a strange, soothing power, silently calming his inner tension and unease, gradually calming his fearful and restless heart. Like a severely wounded child, he nestled defenselessly in the woman's arms, greedily absorbing this long-lost warmth and comfort.

The last trace of hostility towards the woman completely dissipated, and a multitude of chaotic yet incredibly real thoughts surfaced in Luo Ranyu's mind. In his hazy consciousness, he couldn't help but murmur a certain name that made his cheeks blush...

"Death...it seems there's nothing to fear anymore."

"What if I never wake up again? Maybe then I'll never have to suffer the pain of not being able to sleep again!"

"Could you tell me your name at the very end of my life?"

Under the combined influence of the curse of fate and the isolation of consciousness by dreams, his willpower was too weak; otherwise, they wouldn't have infiltrated his dreams to attack him.

At this moment, under the other's gentle caresses, Luo Ranyu not only lost control of his body, but his heart was also completely captured. Even knowing that he might not be eaten, he was willing to become her puppet and give her everything.

His consciousness gradually blurred in a gentle descent, his mind growing heavier and heavier. Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep, he faintly heard a woman's soft murmur, like a lover's whisper: "Little master~ my name~ is Illusory Spirit, remember it?"

"Those who intrude into your dreams are evil people who come to deceive you and steal your soul. Only I will truly protect you!"

"I dare not presume to ask for your love, but please, in your dreams, do not resist me. Your soul has found its home, and they will be unable to find you here."

"I will try my best not to interfere with your current life. That cute little guy outside seems to care about you a lot."

"Of course~ If you miss the spirit, or want to alleviate the torment brought by the curse of fate, you can also light up the iridescent butterfly mark on your forehead~~ I will take you to the most beautiful dream, allowing you to temporarily forget the pain of the mortal world. Perhaps there, the spiritual energy left behind by Sister Xiling can also unseal your sealed powers~~"

After a long time, the world fell into eternal peace.

In the real world, the sky was still dark. In the quiet room, Hua Xi'er sat beside Luo Ranyu, holding his hand tightly, looking at the unconscious Luo Ranyu with worry.

He thought to himself, "The curse of the Goddess of Fate will keep his soul awake. If he can fall asleep, it means those guys from the Temple of Gods have already begun to erode his dreams, which is far too fast. Fortunately, it seems someone has already helped him through the crisis, so she must be the sister named 'Xi Ling' that Princess Quan mentioned! But why is the mark on his forehead a butterfly?"

At this moment, a colorful butterfly mark was slowly forming on Luo Ranyu's forehead, as if a real butterfly had landed on her. The butterfly mark covered the 'Luo' mark, which was radiating golden light, and under the glow of the 'Luo' mark, the butterfly appeared even more dazzling.

Hua Xi'er didn't think much of it. As long as Luo Ranyu's dream was safe, that was all that mattered to her. She gently stroked Luo Ranyu's forehead, then returned to her own bed, turned to her side, and observed Luo Ranyu with a disgruntled expression. Before she knew it, she slowly drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already early morning.

After a long slumber, Luo Ranyu stretched and slowly opened his eyes. The experience in his dream was shrouded in a thick fog; no matter how hard he tried to recall it, he couldn't remember the specific details. He didn't know that the Enchanting Spirit had already erased his key memories of the dream, isolating his dream from reality to prevent the power of the dream from eroding his will too quickly.

But occasionally, a beautiful and alluring body, or a giant colorful butterfly, would flash through his mind, causing a slight flutter in his heart.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of the chaos, and muttered to himself, "Phew~ I'm so hungry~~ I'll cultivate for a bit, and then we'll go have breakfast together when Xi'er wakes up!" Clearly, he hadn't yet been greatly affected by the invasion of his dream.

In the dining hall of the Star Emperor Hotel, Luo Ranyu and Hua Xier had already ordered breakfast. "Brother Ranyu, please sit here!"

Xi'er smiled and pointed to a spot. Ran Yu glanced at it and saw that sitting opposite her were none other than Hong Chen and his sister. After hesitating for a moment, Luo Ran Yu sat down.

The two girls spoke first.

"Oh? Hua Xi'er, we meet again. I watched your appearance very closely the day before yesterday. Your martial spirit is as beautiful as your name!"

"Thank you! But, Sister Meng, why have I never seen you guys play?"

Meng Hongchen said slyly, "Heh heh~ Maybe you'll have to make an appearance next time! You'd better protect yourself then! But don't worry, I'll go easy on you!"

"Hmm~ Then thank you in advance, sister! Here, this is for you!"

As she spoke, two small trees appeared in Xi'er's hands, their branches laden with tiny pink blossoms. Giving flowers as a sign of goodwill was always Xi'er's habit, but since the group hadn't known each other well before, she hadn't given them any flowers.

Now, although Luo Ranyu and Xiao Hongchen still don't get along, at least she and Meng Hongchen are becoming more and more familiar with each other. Moreover, she noticed that Meng Hongchen seemed to care about her Ranyu brother, and his eyes would occasionally drift towards him, which surprised her. So she took the opportunity to give him flowers.

Sending flowers can have a different meaning in some people's eyes, but if it's a sweet and lovely girl like Xi'er sending them, the recipient won't misunderstand anything.

So, Meng Hongchen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and accepted it: "Oh? You can conjure flowers so easily, what kind of flower is this?" Before she finished speaking, Luo Ranyu reached out and plucked a flower from the bushes, popped it into her mouth, chewed it, and said, "This is a honey cherry blossom, a simple food, it tastes good!"

Luo Ranyu tasted it herself, dispelling Meng Hongchen's doubts. Meng Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then took a bite as well. Her expression changed from doubt to surprise, "Mmm! Brother, you should try some too!"

Xiao Hongchen glanced at it, turned her head away, and said arrogantly, "Tch! I don't want to! Maybe if I eat it, my teeth will get rotten!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xi'er almost spat out her drink: "Pfft! Don't worry! You're a Soul Master, what are you afraid of?"

However, Xiao Hongchen remained unmoved and continued eating his meal. Although there was no overly arrogant expression on Xiao Hongchen's face, his tone still carried a hint of provocation: "Luo Ranyu! I didn't expect that your Zhengtian Academy could actually make it into the top four. That's quite surprising."

Luo Ranyu said casually, "Our ability to make it into the top four is mainly due to the efforts of our seniors and Sister Xue'er; it has little to do with me." Xiao Hongchen did not refute Luo Ranyu, and said, "It seems that we are bound to fight to the death."

Luo Ranyu: "What else?"

Silence~~

Xiao Hongchen: "Luo Ranyu! Now, you've surprised me even more than Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy. But~ the next match is our duel, then I'll see your true strength. Anyway, enough talk, see you on the field!"

Luo Ranyu snorted coldly, "Then why did you say so much?"

"Well......"
