To Li Ping'an, that sleep felt very long.
Thoughts fluttered through his dreams.
Li Ping'an rarely dreamed.
In his dreams were flashing blades and swords, galloping horses and swift swordplay.
They seemed real and illusory, now distant, now near.
All manner of scenery unfolded. For Li Ping'an, this state...
Was rather like entering meditation, slipping into visualization.
During this process, there was naturally a profoundly mysterious method of sensing, as well as a distinctive method of guidance.
Having traveled this stretch of the road, he had gained many insights.
A little deeper, and his current state would have resembled Dao comprehension.
Dao comprehension: observing the world, observing the heart, observing oneself.
In the past, he had deliberately restrained himself. Now, after exhausting his strength...
He had instead unwittingly entered a deeper state.
Then he woke.
Li Ping'an rubbed his eyes.
He forced himself to rouse and rolled over.
He had no desire to become someone who comprehended the Dao and attained immortality, free of desires and seeing through everything.
It was a rare blessing to be muddleheaded~
Li Ping'an was not certain what, if he truly succeeded...
Might change about him.
He thought his current state was quite good.
He yawned, unwilling to sleep any longer.
So he sat up.
"Meow~"
Cat Immortal's voice rang out.
"Why are you here, Cat Immortal?" Li Ping'an asked.
Kitten lifted her head and stared at him in disbelief.
(⊙o⊙)
"I've been here serving as your pillow!"
"But I don't need you to serve as my pillow, Fairy."
Kitten clenched her little paws into fists and thumped the bed.
"You grabbed me to use as a pillow, Big Ping'an!!"
"Did I?"
"Yes!"
"Then I really must apologize, Fairy. But you're so understanding that you won't hold it against me, right?"
"...Mm."
"I'm hungry, too.
