A Chill in My Heart

In the dream, Jiang Shi had already perished, and the girl cried for a very long time that night.

After Jiang Shi's death, Bai Qianluo took the lead, and order was gradually restored in the Dragon Cry Continent.

Without the dragon race, an extremely unpredictable factor, cultivators of various races in the Dragon Cry Continent checked and balanced each other, developing together.

However, the alliance between humans and demons still hopes to elect a Alliance Master, and Bai Qianluo is the most popular candidate.

However, Bai Qianluo eventually gave up and revised the official history of the Dragon Cry Continent.

The names "Jiang Shi," "Bai Qianluo," and "Mo Ye" disappeared from the written records of the Dragon Cry Continent, and all humans and demons who participated in the Dragon Race War were required to swear an oath never to mention these three names again.

As time passed, those who participated in the Dragon Race War departed one by one, and these three names were eventually forgotten.

Bai Qianluo, on the other hand, kept searching throughout the Vast and Righteous World, trying to find his reincarnation.

Throughout these ten thousand years, no matter how desperate or how much she longed for him, she would never cry, because he had said that he hoped she could live happily every day.

She no longer hid herself; in everyone's eyes, she was so real and unadorned, her unrestrained and authentic self was enviable.

Finally, she even took on an apprentice.

Yes, it's Jiu Yi.

Although many males wanted to become her disciples during this period, she refused them all.

After taking Jiu Yi as her disciple, the two, who were originally lonely, became each other's support, or rather, each other's salvation. Bai Qianluo also temporarily slowed down her search for Jiang Shi.

But she did not give up. More than ten thousand years passed, and even more than twenty years ago, she unknowingly returned to the Immortal Realm. This woman named Bai Qianluo never gave up her search.

The final scene of the dream was still her slender yet strong figure humming a little tune as she walked alone through the Demon Race World.

In a daze, Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes, emerging from Bai Qianluo's dream world. Jiang Lin's feelings were truly complicated...

Jiang Lin really didn't want to self-destruct...

But it seems I have to find an opportunity to self-destruct.

It has been ten thousand years.

I've loved someone for a full ten thousand years and it's still going on...

Jiang Lin didn't know if Senior Bai would feel regret or resentment if he knew that Jiang Shi's reincarnation was himself...

But I still have to say it, because who could bear to let Senior Bai keep searching like this... It's just too tragic...

However, Jiang Lin overlooked a very important issue.

What if Niannian regained her memories and became Mo Ye, and learned that Jiang Lin was actually Jiang Shi? Would things be even more tragic...?

Or rather, Jiang Lin had actually considered it, but Jiang Lin automatically ignored it. After all, when faced with harsh reality, one will always temporarily choose to escape...

After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Lin finally noticed his surroundings.

He found himself underwater, or more precisely, in the Heavenly Pool.

Jiang Lin didn't hesitate for long and immediately picked up a container to fill it with water. However, to his surprise, all his containers were like sieves and couldn't hold the water at all!

Finally, having exhausted all other options, Jiang Lin took Jiu Yi out of the One Ring, then gulped down several mouthfuls of water (using his Spiritual Power to protect her from choking). Once Jiu Yi's little belly was round and full, Jiang Lin put Jiu Yi back into the Storage Bag.

Jiang Lin also drank a few sips and discovered that his Martial Warrior Physique was slowly becoming stronger! So Jiang Lin simply sat down in the Heavenly Pool to cultivate.

Jiang Lin didn't know how long he had been cultivating, but after breaking through to the Martial Warrior Fifth Realm, the Moon Spring Water seemed to have no effect on him anymore; its medicinal effects must have reached their limit.

Jiang Lin tried to swim upwards in this huge pool, but found he couldn't reach the top no matter how hard he tried. So, Jiang Lin thought in reverse and started swimming downwards...

In any case, Jiang Lin, being a cultivator, could not possibly drown.

Swimming to the bottom of the pool, Jiang Lin saw Bai Qianluo and Tian Fang lying there.

Like a seaweed swaying in the wind, it swam to Senior Bai's side.

A bright, shimmering pearl rested on Bai Qianluo's chest.

Jiang Lin reached out to see what the pearl was, but Bai Qianluo Mi Hu opened her eyes and saw a groping hand reaching towards her chest.

"Huh?! Uh! Ah!!!"

Before Jiang Lin could react, Bai Qianluo instinctively grabbed Jiang Lin's wrist and performed an underwater over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him onto Tian Fang.

Just as she was Mi Hu waking from her dream, with tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes Tian Fang saw a man lying on top of her. Tian Fang immediately unleashed her lightning.

"Holy crap! I'm a cannon! A cannon!"

Feeling pleasantly shocked, Jiang Lin quickly Heart-Lake Transmission, but after Tian Fang Jiang Lin recognized him, the shock intensified...

Half an incense stick later, Jiang Lin, Bai Qianluo, and Tian Fang sat in a triangle formation at the bottom of the pool. After a brief exchange, Jiang Lin learned about the current situation from Senior Bai and Tian Fang.

That means the Dream-Eating Palace is over, and now Xiang Rong is savoring other people's dreams, which means she's collecting admission fees.

If someone is dissatisfied with the dream, they will be directly refined by Xiang Rong and turned into nourishment for the Dream-Eating Palace. The Opportunity they gained will be randomly redistributed throughout the Dream-Eating Palace.

If the dreamer is satisfied, they will wake up, meaning they can leave.

It seems the only way to leave is after Xiangrong has finished savoring all her dreams.

Since he was just waiting around anyway, Jiang Lin decided to go find Zhen Xian. What if that kid had been refined?

Tian Fang originally didn't want to go, but seeing that Bai Qianluo was going, she followed along.

Jiang Lin kept glancing at Senior Bai's profile.

Although his eyes were still slightly red, Senior Bai acted as if nothing was wrong, with his usual "carefree" smile still on his lips.

Seeing Jiang Lin's "lewd" gaze, Tian Fang narrowed her eyes and started flirting with Jiang Lin... Jiang Lin felt another wave of tingling pleasure...

"Senior Bai..." The two swam together in the Heavenly Pool. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lin finally made up his mind and Heart-Lake Transmission.

"Hmm?" Bai Qianluo turned to look at Jiang Lin. "What's wrong, Jiang Xiaozi? You wouldn't actually have fallen for me, would you? No, no, no."

"..." Jiang Lin's brow twitched slightly, and Heart-Lake Transmission, "Senior Bai, if one day you find him, the person you've been searching for all Senior Bai, what will Senior Bai do?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this, kid?" Bai Qianluo turned to look at Jiang Lin and blinked her big eyes.

"Uh... curious... um... curious..." Jiang Lin was sweating profusely, but fortunately he was in the water, so it wasn't visible.

Senior Bai thought for a moment, then blushed slightly and slapped Jiang Lin on the back.

"Oh dear, you're so rude! Asking me this all of a sudden is embarrassing! I haven't thought about it yet."

"Cough cough cough..."

That palm strike nearly sent Jiang Lin flying...

"Well... to put it another way... if the Senior Bai is looking for already has someone they love, or is already married, Senior Bai..."

"I'll wish him all the best," Bai Qianluo said with a smile.

"Huh?" Jiang Lin was overjoyed, but just when this unexpected answer almost made Jiang Lin explode, Bai Qianluo something that chilled Jiang Lin to the bone.

"But let's cut off his two heads first!"
