Hearing the words of this woman who called herself Yan Shuang, Lianshan Xin's first thought was of a scam text he had received in his previous life: "Hello, I am Qin Shi Huang. I am not actually dead. I have 100 tons of gold in Xi'an, and I now need 2,000 yuan to unfreeze it. You can send it through WeChat or Alipay. My account number is my phone number! Once you transfer the money, I will return with my troops tomorrow and put you in command of all three armies!"
That scam text was rather insulting to people's intelligence. Hardly anyone would sympathize with someone who fell for it.
Lianshan Xin opened his eyes in the dream and found himself standing in a pitch-black void.
There was no sky, no earth, only endless darkness.
A woman stood before him.
She wore white, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, her face exquisitely beautiful. Her skin was so pale it was almost translucent, as though a touch would shatter it. Lianshan Xin could tell that she was currently a disembodied soul, and an extremely unstable one that might dissipate at any moment.
But none of that was the most important thing. What mattered most was that this woman really did look exactly like the Heavenly Queen.
Lianshan Xin had seen the Heavenly Queen at Nine Heavens Headquarters.
The sight of this woman jolted him fully awake.
He had to admit, this was far more convincing than the "I'm Qin Shi Huang, send money" scam.
Drawing the Heavenly Queen into his dream was no small feat.
"Young master, you're finally awake." The woman spoke, her voice as clear and pleasing as the tinkling of a spring.
Lianshan Xin frowned. This was not the Heavenly Queen's voice. Hers was far more authoritative.
