Repeating Dreams, The Head on the Table!

On the dragon bed, Ying Dang suddenly woke up.

Cold sweat poured down his back as he gasped for air.

The Empress beside him was also awakened by his strange behavior and looked at Ying Dang in confusion.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong..."

Ying Dang shook his head violently.

"I just had a dream. I dreamt that Eunuch Wang had his head cut off, and the person who took it came to cause trouble for me..."

The woman smiled upon hearing this and hugged Ying Dang to comfort him.

"Your Majesty is overthinking again. Eunuch Wang is the foremost cultivator of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He could destroy the entire Great Gan Dynasty by himself. How could he possibly have his head cut off?"

"Your Majesty is simply overthinking. It's just a small country, a mere speck of dust. Your Majesty is destined to unify the world."

Hearing these words, the middle-aged man's mind gradually calmed down, and he continued to comfort himself.

"Perhaps Eunuch Wang has left me, and I feel uneasy. Eunuch Wang will send good news back soon..."

However, in the next second, something viscous dripped onto his face.

Ying Dang looked up in confusion and immediately saw a head hanging before him!

It was Wang Jingzhong, whom he had been thinking about constantly. His head had been severed and hung above his dragon bed!

"Ah!!!"

In the next moment, Ying Dang suddenly woke up again.

Where was that head?

He looked around frantically, slapping his own face as he searched in terror for Wang Jingzhong's head.

But he couldn't find it.

However, how could Ying Dang's heart calm down? He continued to search, but there was no trace of it.

Beside him lay a sleeping concubine.

Looking at her figure, Ying Dang tentatively reached out and shook her.

"My beloved concubine, can you hear me? I think I had a dream."

But the concubine didn't move at all.

Ying Dang found it strange and reached out to turn her body over, only to be instantly terrified, his face turning pale!

That terrified face was right in front of him. Her neck had been severed, and her head had been placed on his concubine's body!

"Ah!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the palace. He kicked the woman away, but the head floated up.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty was looking for me, wasn't he?"

Viscous blood dripped onto him. Ying Dang retreated frantically, his heart filled with extreme fear, until the head, with its clearly visible facial expression, suddenly slammed into him.

He woke up again.

This time, Ying Dang stared blankly at everything around him.

Heaven and earth were silent, with no sound coming from anywhere.

Beside him was his sleeping concubine, and no head was placed near him.

Knock, knock, knock!

A rapid knocking sound echoed.

Ying Dang suddenly sat up!

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang sent someone with a message..."

Hearing that it was his trusted subordinate, Ying Dang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't a dream, this time it wasn't a dream...

He quickly got up, not even bothering to put on his Dragon Robe, and rushed to push open the palace doors.

It wasn't Wang Jingzhong's head, but his personal guard.

Seeing Ying Dang in such a state of panic, the guard also looked confused.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Ying Dang glared and said, "What message did Eunuch Wang send? Read it quickly!"

"Yes! Eunuch Wang said that all the people from the Imperial Observatory have been killed. It seems there is a powerful expert in the Great Gan Dynasty, possibly from the Infinite..."

"Eunuch Wang also instructed that if he does not return alive, Your Majesty should immediately form an alliance with the Great Gan Dynasty to prevent future trouble."

So that's what it was...

Ying Dang let out a long sigh of relief. He took the letter and read it several times before finally feeling at ease.

"Do not leave. Stay outside my palace..."

I was truly terrified by that dream, and Ying Dang felt unsettled for a moment. "No, find more cultivators to guard my door."

The personal guard didn't dare to say more, just followed the order.

After doing all this, Ying Dang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was too strange, this dream was really too strange...

He glanced at the dark late night outside the hall, feeling worried.

Could it be that Eunuch Wang really met with an accident...

But how could such a person appear in the Great Gan Dynasty? To kill Eunuch Wang would require at least an Eighth Realm Infinite Late Stage cultivator, and such a cultivator simply couldn't exist in that Dynasty.

Eunuch Wang only broke through with guidance from the Lieyang Holy Land, how could he die so easily...

Ying Dang comforted himself like this, and chuckled.

"I'm overthinking it. In this world, how could it be..."

But the next moment, he froze in place.

On the table not far away, a head of an old man was placed squarely.

And that old man was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream, with the same terrified expression, the same fear, as if he had been directly torn from his body.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly pushed open the hall door!

"You, come and look at this for me!"

"Is that person Wang Jingzhong!"

The personal guard was pulled inside with a bewildered look, but was immediately stunned on the spot.

On the table was Wang Jingzhong's head!

It was definitely him!

But he, wasn't he in the Great Gan Dynasty!

"Eunuch Wang is dead!"

Ying Dang's heart plummeted to the bottom.

Wang Jingzhong not only died.

He was also sent to her imperial bedchamber!

This meant that the person not only casually killed Wang Jingzhong, but could also come and go freely within her Imperial Palace!

This Emperor, the most powerful foundation among the Five Great Dynasties, suddenly knelt down!

"Our Great Zhou Dynasty is willing to offer a grand gift to establish diplomatic relations and an alliance with the Great Gan Dynasty!"

"Yes! And the Empress's Grand Wedding, no, not the Empress, it's Your Majesty's Grand Wedding. We, the Great Zhou, are willing to honor the Great Gan Dynasty as a Superior State and acknowledge the Son of Heaven of the Superior State!"

"We are willing to give all the national treasury's savings to exchange for you sparing my life!"

She immediately began to kowtow and beg for forgiveness. The personal guard beside her, not understanding what was happening, also knelt and kowtowed.

A startled cry came from inside the hall, it was a concubine who had woken up and discovered the scene.

The entire Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty descended into chaos...

Chu Ning left a note and departed.

The First Dynasty calling the Great Gan Dynasty a Superior State overnight was too much.

His wife would definitely be suspicious.

Once she was suspicious and started investigating, it would lead to too many troublesome matters, and his wife, who was currently pregnant, couldn't handle such a strain.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty could serve as a deterrent, to warn off others with ill intentions.

He only needed to push things subtly, without even needing to formally submit tribute.

As for resources and such, they could be considered congratulatory gifts, just for good luck.

He was about to have his Grand Wedding, couldn't he just make his wife happy to complete the marriage?

These people, honestly...

In the Great Gan Dynasty, within the Imperial Palace.

The disappearance of an Infinite cultivator caused no ripple whatsoever, not even alerting any palace maids.

His existence was so lightly erased, as if he had never been there. All that remained was his head, and the terror on that head, as if to attest to what kind of terrifying being he had witnessed before his death.

But that was only the limit of his understanding and cognition, far from the limit of the perpetrator.

Upon returning to the palace, Chu Ning suddenly heard a hurried knocking at the door.

"Mister, Mister..."

It was Xiao Bing speaking, her voice tinged with tears.

"Her Majesty had a nightmare in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. You shouldn't sleep, please go and see..."

Chu Ning was taken aback.

The Emperor of Great Zhou should be the one having nightmares, shouldn't he?

How did she become my wife?

This old geezer died at such an inconvenient time!

My Qinglian is still pregnant, so tomorrow there will be no court session. It's finally a chance for a longer rest!

Damn it, what rotten luck!

"Here it comes, here it comes..."
