The Red Moon filled the sky.
Its mild light was especially gentle tonight.
The window swung open, and the wind whipped the curtains into a flutter. Then a tentacle appeared at the edge of the window and wrapped around the frame. A moment later, Xu Ye lightly vaulted inside and landed on the living room floor.
He landed in a half crouch, bending forward with his left hand holding down his hat.
"Not bad. My physical abilities have improved a lot. After ten days of grueling training, working day and night and fighting bitter battles with the Abyss Woman every day, I've finally almost filled my energy reserves for Sequence 8."
"The path of cultivation requires perseverance. There are no shortcuts. Alice, you should learn from me instead of sleeping all the time."
Xu Ye looked at Alice, who was lying on the living room sofa wearing headphones and listening to an audiobook, and scolded the cat.
Alice took off the headphones. "You damn cheater. If you're so capable, stop using [Mayfly] and meditate on your own."
Xu Ye chuckled and snatched Alice's headphones away. Alice had bought them after demanding an allowance from him. According to the cat, being able to talk meant being more than just a cat-it meant being a member of the family, and Alice had vehemently insisted on receiving an allowance.
Xu Ye had figured that since they were in a Dreamscape anyway, he might as well hand over the money.
A moment later, a rich male voice came through the headphones:
"Why does hearing Xiao Lan's words make my heart flutter so?"
"Why does seeing Xiao Meng's finger bleed make my heart ache so?"
"I must be the only man in the world whose heart has been moved by two women."
Xu Ye: "..."
