Because, in Chu He's dream, she saw her best friend—Xia Yao!

Not only that!

This Dragon Country contestant named Chu He was actually intimate with her own best friend, who was arrogant and looked down on all men as dust!

Hugging and embracing were just daily occurrences!

Even...

In the dream, they spent their days together, relying on each other, living a life where they were inseparable.

"A short spring night makes the day rise high, from now on the king will not hold court."

"Entertaining and feasting without leisure, spring from spring outings, night after night."

These four lines of poetry could perfectly describe their lives.

At first, Kachi was so angry that her delicate little face turned red, her teeth gritted, and the knuckles of her clenched fists turned white.

How dare this Dragon Country contestant!

To desecrate her good best friend like this in a dream!

He deserved to die!

But this anger lasted for less than three seconds before it was completely swallowed by a raging fire of gossip, burning away to nothing.

Compared to these sensational scenes that were enough to subvert her worldview...

What best friend loyalty, not worth mentioning!

Gossip was the most important thing!

She already had the ability to remember anything she saw, but now she felt her brain wasn't enough, wishing she could brand every scene into her mind, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

It couldn't be helped, she knew Xia Yao too well.

For that woman, ordinary men couldn't even dare to look at her for three seconds, let alone touch her, or they would turn into ashes, their souls annihilated.

She never dreamed that one day she would see Xia Yao so... unrestrained and wild!

Moreover, the Xia Yao in the dream felt incredible yet incredibly real to her!

Equally domineering and unreasonable!

Just as straightforward, with a thought process so quirky it could veer off into outer space!

The Xia Yao in the dream had a strong dependence on Chu He, often sticking to him like a clingy kitten.

She always wanted to be by Chu He's side at all times, feeling at ease even if she was just quietly sitting there.

And what happened next made Kachi's jaw nearly drop.

As time flowed in the dream, ten years later.

Chu He and Xia Yao actually had a daughter!

The little girl perfectly inherited the strengths of both parents, looking like a delicate jade carving, so cute it made one's heart melt.

But her personality was cast from the same mold as Xia Yao's; even at a young age, she was incredibly domineering.

"Daddy is mine! Mommy, go away!"

The little girl would often cling to Chu He like a koala, baring her teeth at Xia Yao, who tried to get close, fiercely declaring her ownership.

Xia Yao refused to back down, pulling her daughter off Chu He and tossing her aside, then shamelessly clinging to him herself.

"He's my man, you're the extra one!"

Chu He, caught between mother and daughter, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, enduring this sweet yet troublesome "love triangle" drama every day.

Kachi watched with great interest, her mouth stretched to her ears, her short legs swinging like a propeller.

She even took out a delicate little notebook, watching and writing furiously, her small face filled with the seriousness of academic research.

On the cover of the notebook, a large title was clearly written—Observation Diary of My Best Friend Xia Yao After Marriage and Child-Rearing.

The thirty years in the dream felt like just a moment to Kachi, who was immersed in the gossip.

She smacked her lips, still unsatisfied.

At the moment the thirty years in the dream ended, Chu He's eyes showed reluctance, but there was no trace of confusion. A colorful portal of light soon appeared beside him!

Seeing the portal, Chu He was reluctant to leave, but he noticed that the portal's colors were constantly blurring, as if it would disappear in no time!

Chu He reluctantly walked into the portal!

This guy... his willpower was that strong?

After immersing himself in such a realistic and perfect dream for thirty years, he just left without any hesitation?

No, she saw the slightly sad look in Chu He's eyes. Had he seen through the illusion long ago?

A deep glint flashed in Kachi's starry eyes.

In fact, Chu He realized the world around him was an illusion as soon as he entered it, because upon entering, his Eye of Nirvana was forced to activate!

For these thirty years, he had been conscious from beginning to end. He hadn't changed the personality of the Xia Yao inside; he had lived with her according to the Xia Yao he knew!

Kachi carefully hid the recording and the small notebook before jumping off her high chair. With her hands behind her back, she strutted like a miniature adult, her feet splayed in a duck-like walk, towards Chu He, who had just stepped out of the Dream Gate.

"Ahem."

She cleared her throat, trying hard to put on a serious expression. Tilting her young, tender face up, she scrutinized Chu He with her gaze.

"How do you feel?"

"Not bad," Chu He smiled, his eyes clear. "Just a bit short."

"Oh?"

Kachi's gossip-loving soul ignited once more, unable to be suppressed. She asked casually, as if by accident, "What did you dream about? Something that made you reminisce so much?"

He deliberately sighed, speaking in a tone filled with deep affection and nostalgia, "In my dream, I had a gentle and virtuous wife, and a lively and adorable daughter. My family was perfect, my life was happy, and I had no regrets."

Kachi's eyes instantly lit up like two supernovas. She feigned impatience as she pressed, "Your wife... what did she look like?"

"Her?" Chu He's lips curved slightly, a hint of perfectly measured tenderness in his eyes. "She had long, black, silky hair, and eyes like the purest obsidian. Unbelievably beautiful."

"Her personality was a bit domineering, though, and she was very possessive."

"She also always liked to cling to me, saying I was hers..."

With every word he spoke, Kachi's expression became more dramatic, shifting from forced composure to trembling with suppressed laughter.

By the end, Kachi couldn't hold it in any longer. Her small face turned bright red, her shoulders shaking as she let out little "pfft pfft" sounds like escaping air.

Chu He sensed something was wrong. How could it feel like Kachi knew his dream?

Kachi asked with feigned ease, "The wife you're talking about, is her name Xia Yao?"

Chu He's heart skipped a beat, the smile on his face freezing. He suddenly realized, and exclaimed in surprise, "Can you... see my dreams?"

"Why can't I?" Kachi finally dropped the act. She put her hands on her hips, puffed out her small chest, and declared triumphantly, "I can create dreams, so of course I can see what happens inside them!"

Chu He was completely stunned.

Did that mean... their thirty years of married life in the dream, countless days and nights, were all seen clearly by this bizarre loli?

A massive social death scene!

Just as Chu He was so embarrassed he could dig a library with his toes, the smile on Kachi's face suddenly vanished. A bone-chilling killing intent instantly enveloped the entire space!

Her star-filled eyes were now filled with nothing but endless coldness and authority. Her voice became like the frigid ice of the Nine Netherworlds, "Dragon Country contestant, how dare you!"

"Do you know who Xia Yao is to me?"
