[Hmm? I'm not back.]
[Huh? So I was talking to a ghost all this time? ]
[Uh… Strictly speaking, this should be considered a dream. We are actually in a dream now. This dark area was supposed to be your dream, but for some reason, it suddenly shattered.]
[I saw something unusual was happening here, so I came to check it out through a dream connection. Because it was a dream, only my consciousness was projected over, and my real body didn't come.]
[I see, how long will your matter take? ]
[Well, it’s hard to say. According to your current timeline, I will probably have to wait until the Battle of Changping begins before I can come back to find you.]
[Okay, then what is my current situation? The dream has clearly dissipated, but my consciousness is still trapped in this small space. Is it because we are connecting in dreams? ]
After carefully studying the space where Shen Yuelan was, Mi Yuan rejected the hypothesis proposed by Shen Yuelan. Mi Yuan believed that Shen Yuelan was more like being in a forced dream state under the influence of external forces.
Combining Shen Yuelan's previous experience, Mi Yuan guessed that Gan Yuelong might have specially arranged a dream journey for Shen Yuelan in order to make her relax.
It was originally supposed to be a seven-day trip, but because Shen Yuelan discovered the falsity of the dream in advance, the artificially created dream bubble was punctured by Shen Yuelan's awakening consciousness.
After the dream disappeared, Shen Yuelan's consciousness awakened, but her body was still in a dormant state. The two were not synchronized, resulting in the current situation.
Shen Yuelan can only be trapped in her own consciousness space now, waiting for her body to recover synchronously.
Chapter 172 Return to Reality
[Eh? So I have to stay here all day? ]
[Well, it’s like this, Alan, don’t be misled by those tricks in the fairy tale novels and think about leaving here by force. ]
[Leaving this space is like your soul leaving your body, and losing your consciousness or soul body will lead to brain death immediately.]
Based on the principle of "it's better to believe it than not to believe it", Shen Yuelan didn't dare to try it easily.
She could only follow Mi Yuan's advice and stay obediently in her own consciousness space waiting for her body to synchronize. Fortunately, Mi Yuan promised Shen Yuelan that she would stay with her until the moment she woke up, otherwise Shen Yuelan would be bored to death.
[Is everyone's consciousness space like this? Mine is so dark and small.]
[Of course not. Old guys like Gan Yuelong have beautiful consciousness spaces. Only a little Karami like you can have such a... uh... simple initial space.]
Shen Yuelan clearly heard a hint of ridicule in Mi Yuan's tone. Although Mi Yuan did not say it explicitly, Shen Yuelan could probably guess that the size of the consciousness space should be related to her own mental strength.
But the problem is that there is no shortcut to that thing, it can only be accumulated little by little over the years, and how many years have I accumulated? Alas, everyone around me is an experienced person, and only I, a little cutie, am trembling.
In the space of consciousness, Shen Yuelan asked Mi Yuan several times where she was and whether she could tell her in advance, but each time she was ruthlessly rejected by Mi Yuan.
[Okay, my little ancestor, please stop asking. It won’t do you any good to know so much. Didn’t you know this well before? ]
[But I just want to know now. You are like this, Gan Yuelong is like this, one by one, you all have so many little secrets. I am now more and more curious about what you are up to. ]
[Hey, so you don't know anything about Gan Yuelong? Then I can't tell you. Also, don't compare me with Gan Yuelong. We are not the same kind of people.]
Shen Yuelan snorted coldly when she heard that. None of these guys had a simple background. Now, one by one, they were starting to form gangs. Who knew how it would develop in the end? Would it not be the start of a new season?
[Okay, okay, I won't compete. You guys just keep your little secrets to yourself. If anything goes wrong in the future, just don't come to me to complain.]
[Hehe, don't underestimate me. When you know my noble identity, you will know what kind of existence I am. Being able to sign a contract with me will be enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life.]
[It's really bad to have a beautiful woman in my arms but feel powerless. You are right in front of me, but I can't touch you. Tsk, it's really unpleasant.]
Shen Yuelan looked at Mi Yuan, whose tail was almost up to the sky, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. "You just want to show off, but there will be a time when you will come to me and cry."
The reason why Shen Yuelan dared to make such a statement was because she clearly felt the difference between Mi Yuan and Hua Liluo and others.
Those old fryers exuded the aura of old scoundrels who had been working with gutter oil for tens of thousands of years. Their bodies were slippery and it was difficult to find a handle on them, let alone put them in the mouth.
But Mi Yuan is different. Although she also has an aura of "I'm very awesome", in comparison, she is more like fried dough sticks in a frying pan. Although it is a bit hard, it is not inedible.
To put it bluntly, Shen Yuelan thought that Mi Yuan was still too young to fight against the people in the inner world. She would suffer a great loss sooner or later, and might even end up like her.
Although this is not impossible, Shen Yuelan still hopes that everyone around her can have a bright future. After all, the more friends she has, the easier it will be for her to be successful in the future.
Time passed quickly as the two of them were bickering with each other. Shen Yuelan, who was enjoying Mi Yuan's lap, suddenly felt a suction force coming, as if she was going to be sucked out of the space.
[It seems that the time of parting has come. Don't resist. That is your body calling you. Just follow that power and leave. Before you leave, please remember my name. My real name is Bei.]
The above words were the last words Shen Yuelan heard before leaving the consciousness space. Although they were very brief, they contained a lot of information.
The word "Bei" may not be anything special when taken alone, but if it is used to refer to people and things related to currency, it becomes meaningful.
Shell currency is the earliest form of currency in China. It was first used in the late Xia Dynasty and became more common in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
A common type of shell in the Shang Dynasty was a toothed shell, the back of which was often polished flat or with a hole drilled in it for easy carrying. It was called a cargo shell. Later, other styles gradually evolved into stone shells, jade shells, bone shells, and copper shells.
Influenced by this, in Chinese culture, words or characters related to shells often represent behaviors and things related to wealth.
For example, give, earn, trade, loan, expensive, fee, on credit, wealth, reward, compensation, tax, sell, rent, string, bribe, goods, thief, poverty, capital, greed, relief, purchase, store, gift, account, bribe, etc.
So, since Mi Yuan dares to use the word "Bei" as her name, she might really be someone of great importance.
Let’s put this matter aside for now. The first thing Shen Yuelan saw when she woke up was Gan Yuelong’s smug look. She seemed to be very satisfied with something she had done.
Shen Yuelan thought about it and thought that maybe this guy thought that she was very good at hiding the truth and made him realize that she was just having a dream, so he was very proud of her.
Although Shen Yuelan wanted to taunt her back and tell her that she had discovered the clues on the second to last day and successfully broke through, but when she thought about it carefully, this didn't seem to be something worth bragging about.
The fact that Gan Yuelong was able to sink into a dream for five days without realizing it was enough to prove her ability, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to make her proud.
If used in actual combat, even if the effectiveness of this method would be greatly reduced on the battlefield, as long as Shen Yuelan could be lost for five seconds at the critical moment, it would be enough for the enemy to take her life. This is really a terrifying skill.
[Awake? How is it? The seven-day tour of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is pretty good, right? That is a travel guide I designed specifically for you. I guarantee that you can travel all over Chang'an City within seven days. ]
Shen Yuelan recalled her experiences in dreams over the past few days. Putting aside other things, from the perspective of travel experience alone, the beautiful dream that Gan Yuelong created for her was indeed very happy, and she was indeed mentally relaxed, and the therapeutic effect was quite good.
[Well, it was really interesting. I saw a lot of interesting people and things. After waking up, I felt much more relaxed all over. I wasn't as tired as before. It was like I had a good sleep.]
[Eh? Um… is that so?]
[Um, yes, that is necessary. A person's physical and mental state is affected by his mood. When your mood improves, your physical and mental state will naturally recover. There is nothing wrong with that.]
Gan Yuelong was obviously feeling guilty when she heard Shen Yuelan's answer, but this guy was indeed a veteran, and facing Shen Yuelan's temptation, she just talked nonsense seriously, trying to get away with it from Shen Yuelan.
Chapter 173: No Martial Ethics
Seeing that this guy was so stubborn, Shen Yuelan didn't want to continue arguing with Gan Yuelong about this matter. Although her mental state was very good, her body was very tired after having a sweet dream for seven days.
The relaxed feeling just now was not an illusion. Anyone who does not eat or drink for seven days will feel light and floating. If Shen Yuelan was not from the other world, she would have died by now.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan urgently needed a good rest.
[Okay, okay, you are right, but I want to replenish my energy and have a good rest. Can my dear Master Yuelong help me arrange it? ]
When Gan Yuelong heard this, she had no idea that her tricks had been discovered. She waved toward the window, and Huanyan, wearing a milky white dress, walked in with the meal that had been prepared long ago.
[It seems that my "conspiracy" has been exposed. What went wrong? I can't even trap a little guy like you. This is my most powerful skill. ]
[Well, I won't disturb you to rest. Have a good meal. When you have rested, I will ask you where the loophole is. ]
After Gan Yuelong finished speaking, she stood up and left the bedside. Only then did Shen Yuelan notice that Gan Yuelong was still walking outside in a bikini.
[Sister Yuelong, haven't you worn enough swimsuits yet? ]
[Hmm? Anyway, there are no outsiders on this island, and this outfit is quite convenient at the beach, so I just keep wearing it. Don't talk about me, you also keep wearing it. ]
When Shen Yuelan heard this, she looked down and found that she was still wearing the suspender swimsuit she had worn before she fell asleep. Shen Yuelan took it off speechlessly and found a clean and comfortable T-shirt to put on.
Although she wanted to take a shower first, the burning sensation in her abdomen made Shen Yuelan give up the idea. Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.
The meals carefully prepared by Huanyan were still very attractive. Huanyan was very considerate and prepared seafood porridge cooked with fish and oyster meat, hot soup stewed with kelp and seaweed, and fried tuna meat for Shen Yuelan. They were warm and very comfortable to eat.
Shen Yuelan's originally light body gradually settled down after she finished her meal. Shen Yuelan knew that this was a sign that her soul was being accepted by her body again.
Gan Yuelong's skills are, after all, offensive means. Applying them to a friend's vacation without sufficient practice is a bit hasty, at least that's what Shen Yuelan thinks.
Although the initial impression was really good, the subsequent sequelae made Shen Yuelan feel scared. If Mi Yuan had not come to remind her at that time, would she have forcibly left the consciousness space?
This is not impossible, and once this is done, Shen Yuelan will face the threat of death. Although Shen Yuelan believes that with Gan Yuelong by her side, the situation will not get so out of control.
But she still felt the need to complain to Gan Yuelong. She didn't want to live like in Inception and have to rely on a spinning top to distinguish reality. That feeling was too suffocating.
However, her most important task at the moment is to get a good rest and get back into shape. After all, the body is the capital of revolution. If she can enjoy life in good health, then everything she has fought for will be meaningful.
With Huanyan's help, Shen Yuelan quickly washed herself, then returned to the bed and fell into a deep sleep. This time, Huanyan also accompanied her to sleep.
Huanyan entered the door with Shen Yuelan at that time. After confirming that Shen Yuelan was cheated by Wanchuan and his servant, Shen Huanyan was undoubtedly furious. She wished she could rush forward and tear Gan Yuelong to pieces.
But Shen Huanyan endured it, and warned Shen Suchang and other beauties not to act rashly. Shen Huanyan was betting on Gan Yuelong's attitude towards Shen Yuelan. If it remained the same as before, then Shen Yuelan's life would not be in danger.
But if the situation changes in a place they are unaware of, Shen Yuelan will be in great danger, and Shen Huanyan and other beauties will have to run away immediately, escape from the other world, and go to Mi Yuan for help.
Yes, Shen Huanyan has always known Mi Yuan's identity and position. After all, she is Shen Yuelan's main core, and she has some knowledge of these two cores under her.
Moreover, Mi Yuan had no intention of hiding anything from her. Now that she thought about it, it was probably because she was not qualified enough and could not pose a threat to her.
However, thanks to this, Shen Huanyan has always held the channel to contact Mi Yuan, but she didn't tell anyone about this, including Shen Yuelan, not that Shen Huanyan had any ill intentions towards Shen Yuelan.
Shen Huanyan simply felt that Shen Yuelan was too weak in her vigilance against Gan Yuelong and the others. If those old foxes had any bad intentions, Shen Yuelan would die without knowing how she died, just like now.
Although Mi Yuan was not a good person, Shen Huanyan maintained the contact channel between the two based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
After Shen Yuelan fell into a coma, Shen Huanyan secretly contacted Mi Yuan. Whether Shen Yuelan could be saved was another matter, but she was allowed to come over to muddy the waters first so that Shen Huanyan and others could act accordingly.
Although the organizational reforms were carried out in the other world, they could still live independently even if they lost Shen Yuelan.
But after going through so many things, each of them is very clear that their honor and disgrace actually depends on Shen Yuelan alone. After all, the inner world is the inner world of the human race, not the inner world of the enchanting ladies.
After losing their masters, it is very difficult for them to survive in the other world. The so-called organizational reform is just wishful thinking of those senior officials.
Although it is still unclear what Gan Yuelong did to Shen Yuelan, and what role Mi Yuan played in it, fortunately, the result is a happy ending for everyone, as Shen Yuelan is finally back.
This finally made Shen Huanyan feel relieved. Unlike Shen Sushang and others, if something happened to Shen Yuelan, Shen Huanyan was not going to live alone.
Unlike the peaceful atmosphere inside the house, the atmosphere outside the house was tense. Before Shen Yuelan woke up, Shen Sushang did not dare to act rashly under the persuasion of Shen Huanyan.
But now the young master had already woken up, and with Shen Huanyan as her guard, she began to settle accounts with Gan Yuelong without any scruples.
[Hey, Master Gan, haven't we settled the score yet? ]
[Oh? There is an account that has not been settled? But I don’t remember any account transactions between us? Could it be that Miss Su Shang remembered it wrongly? ]
[Hehe, if I remember correctly, you betrayed my master's trust and forcibly dragged her into the dream without my master's consent. My master is too shy to pursue this matter with you, but we, as your subordinates, cannot ignore it.]
[Oh, are you guys really that serious? Yue Lan herself didn't say anything.]
[Humph, the honor and disgrace of us all depends on one person. Normally, we would not bear to see her get hurt, but you just knocked her down! How can we swallow this?]
[Little guys, beat me up! ]
[Uh, wait, I am wrong, isn't that ok? Wait... Ouch, you guys don't follow the moral code of martial arts, how can you fight in a group, ouch...!]
Chapter 174 Cats and Dogs
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Gan Yuelong did not fight back during the [Island War]. After she tried to hide on the island in vain, she took advantage of the chaos at the scene and jumped into the sea to escape.
It was not until Shen Yuelan woke up that this guy swam back slowly. What frightened Shen Suchang and others was that Gan Yuelong didn't care about their previous attacks at all.
She treated the matter in a way that gave everyone the impression that the previous dispute was just a bite from a friend's cat or dog, which might be a little painful but harmless.
This made Shen Sushang and others quite angry. What on earth were these enchanting beauties like them in Gan Yuelong's eyes?
What on earth is this? Maybe it's just like a cat or a dog. Shen Yuelan can never figure out the mind of her teacher.
Shen Yuelan knew that Gan Yuelong probably wanted to get something from her. After all, there is no love without reason in this world.
Some people might say that decades of getting along couldn't change Shen Yuelan's position in Gan Yuelong's heart at all? Could it be that she has a heart of stone?
Shen Yuelan had doubted whether this guy was really as detached from emotions and desires as the gods in mythology, but after decades of getting along with him, Shen Yuelan realized that the so-called detachment from emotions and desires definitely did not exist.
But it is true that one has become numb after living for too long, and the part he occupied in Gan Yuelong's life was so short that it was difficult for him to be considered an important person to her.
There are even huge differences in their understanding of the same thing. Although Shen Yuelan has known this for a long time, she has never experienced it so deeply as in this conversation.
[Sister Yuelong, you actually don't care about Suchang and the others beating you up? ]
[Haha, if those little demons in your house had bitten me, I would have naturally come to your rescue, but there is no injury at all. Alas, it’s because I’m too thick-skinned. Those little ones’ tender teeth couldn’t even break my skin.]
Shen Yuelan looked at Gan Yuelong speechlessly. This guy is really arrogant.
Shen Yuelan had already heard about Mi Yuan's affairs from Shen Huanyan. Although Shen Yuelan was still unclear about the power dispute behind Gan Yuelong and Mi Yuan, she had some idea of it at this moment.
More importantly, Shen Yuelan has a clear understanding of herself, that is, no matter how good the relationship between the leaders or core figures of the two major forces is with herself, those two major forces will never be used by her.
This was the conclusion Shen Yuelan came to after much thought, and her conversation with Gan Yuelong at the moment also testified to this.
[Also, I was indeed inconsiderate this time. I didn't expect that there would be a loophole in the dream, causing you to be trapped in the consciousness space.]
[Even if your soul leaves your body, it doesn't matter. I can always pull you back, but I think no one likes to experience the feeling of death. ]
[Yeah, I don’t want to die for no apparent reason, and it’s also very uncomfortable to be trapped in that dark and small place.]
