Waking, She Resisted in Every Way, but Her Body Was Honest After Falling Asleep!

"Mother, don't go, don't leave Father and me..."

"Father, don't die, don't leave Ling'er all alone!!"

Inside the hotel room.

Qian Daoliu, who had just entered meditation to cultivate, suddenly heard Le Ling's pained voice.

He immediately stopped cultivating and hurried to the bedside.

Le Ling had already fallen completely into a nightmare as dark as night, tears of grief continuously streaming from her tightly shut eyes.

Although Qian Daoliu did not know what had happened to Le Ling before she came to Douluo Continent, he could guess from her anguished cries in the nightmare that it was likely related to her father!

Seeing her in such pain, he leaned against the headboard and lifted her, blanket and all, onto his lap, gently soothing her.

"Don't be afraid, Ling'er. I'm here. I'll definitely protect you."

Like a child in the nightmare, Le Ling wept and begged her parents not to leave.

"Father... Mother... Please, don't leave Ling'er. Don't go..."

Hearing her pleading words, Qian Daoliu's heart clenched!

"Ling'er, you still have me."

"I promise I'll never leave you again."

Lowering his head, the man kissed away her tears bit by bit.

Perhaps Le Ling felt the warmth he was giving her. Gradually, her pained cries became soft murmurs.

The tears that had been flowing nonstop finally ceased, replaced by intermittent sobs.

Yet she was still trapped in the nightmare and had not awakened.

Qian Daoliu gently patted her back, soothing her emotions one stroke at a time.

Seeing how painfully she was sobbing, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, wanting to erase all her pain and sorrow.

At that moment, the dark nightmare began to fade, and beautiful memories flooded into Le Ling's mind.

In her dream, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving piece of driftwood, responding and seeking more without pause.

Qian Daoliu, who was kissing her, sensed her emotions gradually calming, as though she had already entered a sweet dream.

Pulling away from her lips, he looked down at her, his large hand caressing her cheek as he coaxed her to sleep!

Before long, there was a knock on the door.

Qian Daoliu gently placed Le Ling back on the bed, tucked her in, and got up to answer it.

The door opened.

Steward Yao stood outside.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir. I've brought the food back. Please eat with Miss Le Ling while it's hot."

He handed the two metal lunch boxes in his hands to his master.

Qian Daoliu gave a hum and accepted them.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You said that after promoting Ling'er to supervisor that day, you checked the maid recruitment records. Did those records state why she joined the recruitment?"

Steward Yao thought carefully before shaking his head. "Miss Le Ling didn't write anything. The reason column was blank."

He then added, "Sir, shall I look into it after I return?"

"Ask around."

"Yes, sir."

Steward Yao cupped his hands and left.

Qian Daoliu carried the two metal lunch boxes into the room and set them on the table.

He went to check on Le Ling by the bed. Seeing that she was finally sleeping peacefully, he did not wake her.

He was afraid that if he woke her, she would fall back into that nightmare again when she went back to sleep!

He would wait until she woke naturally and ate when she was hungry.

Qian Daoliu sat by the table, eating while thinking about the Five Elements Continent Le Ling had mentioned.

None of Spirit Hall's books or documents had ever mentioned this Five Elements Continent!

But because the Qian Family's ancestors had legends about the Angel God, Qian Daoliu had not been too surprised when Le Ling said she came from the Five Elements Continent.

Gods existed, so what was so strange about someone coming from another continental plane?

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the person on the bed murmur again, "A Liu..."

Hearing that she was calling his name, a pleased smile curled Qian Daoliu's lips.

He quickly finished eating, went into the washroom to clean up, then returned to sit by the bed.

He watched the woman's sleeping face for a long while, his large hand stroking her cheek.

"Sleep well."

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to rise and continue cultivating on the sofa, the sleeping Le Ling suddenly raised her hand and caught the arm he was about to pull away.

"A Liu... Don't go..."

With her tug, the man sat back down at the bedside and looked at her happily with his golden eyes.

Seeing that she was clutching his arm and refusing to let go, Qian Daoliu smiled. "Ling'er, you're the one who told me not to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms. The two fell asleep in each other's embrace.

The next day.

Morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

After last night's nightmare, Le Ling had not awakened in pain and discomfort as usual. Instead, she had entered another beautiful dream.

So when she woke up now, she felt especially refreshed.

Opening her eyes, she stretched comfortably.

But just as she had stretched halfway, she sensed something strange beside her. Turning her head, she immediately saw a handsome face magnified before her.

"Qian Daoliu!!!"

"Are you asking for a kicking!!"

After Princess Le Ling shouted angrily, she immediately and without hesitation kicked at the man lying beside her.

Just as her foot was about to hit him, Qian Daoliu swiftly awoke from his sleep.

Though he could have avoided her kick, he chose not to dodge and took it head-on.

However, she did not kick him off the bed. He merely let out a muffled groan.

Qian Daoliu caught her delicate foot as she tried to pull it back and turned to look at her. "Ling'er, you were the one who invited me to sleep beside you last night. Are you refusing to admit it now?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"When did I invite you!!"

Le Ling glared at him with an angry, displeased expression.

Looking into her beautiful eyes as she glared at him, Qian Daoliu guessed that she might not remember what had happened last night, especially the nightmare.

He had wanted to ask what had happened before she came to Douluo Continent this time.

Why had she been so sad last night?

He had also wanted to ask whether she fell into painful nightmares like last night every evening.

But after thinking it over, it was better if she did not remember!

Why make her recall those unpleasant and painful memories?

However, Qian Daoliu felt there was no need for her to remember that terrible nightmare, but the matter of her holding onto him and calling, "A Liu, don't go," was something she needed to recall!

Holding her delicate foot, he smoothly pulled her toward him.

"Last night, you called my name in your sleep. I went over to check on you, and you grabbed my hand and told me not to go. Have you forgotten?"

Qian Daoliu pulled her into his arms and murmured into her ear.

"Impossible!!"

"I absolutely didn't..."

Before she could finish, a vague image surfaced in Le Ling's mind.

It was the scene of her grabbing Qian Daoliu's arm and calling, "A Liu, don't go"!

Realizing it had truly happened, she was instantly so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Ah!!!

This embarrassing memory is attacking this Princess!

Seeing her reaction, Qian Daoliu knew she remembered.

"Ling'er, you resist me in every way when you're awake, but your body's reactions are very honest when you're asleep!"

The man leaned close ambiguously and whispered in her ear, "Actually, I wouldn't mind if you spoke to me like you did last night even when you're awake."

Le Ling was both embarrassed and flushed red.

She reached out and forcefully shoved him away, then threw back the blanket, got up quickly, and ran into the washroom.

No!

This Princess needs a cold shower to calm down!

Watching her flee in panic, Qian Daoliu laughed happily to himself.
