Entering the Dream to Banish the Nightmare

With quick, light steps, Zuo Xiaoyu led Yin Yunze into a room.

Compared to the simplicity of other places, this room is decorated with many whimsical little ornaments, clearly showing that it has been carefully arranged.

On the bed to the side of the room lay a girl of about six or seven years old, who was quite adorable with her delicate features.

"No! No! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

However, the little girl was delirious and talking nonsense. As the daughter of a county magistrate, she should have had a round face, but she was pale and thin, with slightly sunken cheeks, and her face clearly showed signs of illness.

While it can't be said that he's nearing the end of his life, he certainly looks like he's seriously ill.

"My poor Yue'er!"

Upon seeing Xu Yue, Zuo Xiaoyu's eyes reddened again. Wiping away her tears, Zuo Xiaoyu explained to Yin Yunze, "I don't know what happened, but the child suddenly fell ill seven days ago."

First, they said someone was secretly watching her... Then, she started eating a lot every day, but she kept getting thinner and thinner. Three days ago, she even fell seriously ill! I've seen several doctors these past few days, but nothing has helped..."

"Madam, do you know why?" Looking at Xu Yue lying on the bed, Yin Yunze's eyes flashed with doubt, but he revealed the cause of the illness. "Because your daughter is not sick, but rather possessed by Evil Qi, and her essence has been stolen by Essence Blood!"

Through the Power of Incense Offerings, Yin Yunze easily discovered that Xu Yue was not truly ill, but rather had been harmed by evil magic.

To be honest, compared to seeing a doctor, this situation falls within Yin Yunze's area of expertise, and it's much simpler than actually treating an illness!

What puzzled Yin Yunze was that Xu Yue, as Xu Hanxian's only daughter, also possessed the Dynastic Karmic Luck, and lived in a mansion protected by the Dynastic Karmic Luck.

With this double protection, she should have been unharmed by ordinary evil spirits, so why did she still fall victim to their magic?

Judging from the lingering evil aura, this was clearly not a powerful evil spirit. Yet, it somehow managed to bypass the protection of the Dynastic Karmic Luck?

Having been exposed to a wealth of conspiracy theories, Yin Yunze realized almost immediately that this was not as simple as it seemed.

It's highly unlikely that this was simply an accidental encounter with a spirit.

"Divine fox, save my son!"

As soon as Yin Yunze spoke, Zuo Xiaoyu knelt down again. "I had suspected before that some evil spirit was harming my Yue'er. But that heartless ghost wouldn't believe me and stopped me from going to ask for help..."

Now, hearing what the divine fox says, it's exactly right! Those doctors aren't quacks, how could they not even diagnose the specific illness! Divine fox, please have mercy! If you save Yue'er, I will definitely set up Divine Lord tablet for you and offer three sticks of incense every morning and evening!

"Please rise, Madam. I have no interest in such things." Lifting Zuo Xiaoyu up again, Yin Yunze's gaze fell on Xu Yue as he said, "Enough of this pleasantry. Your daughter is suffering greatly from a nightmare; let me help her break free from it!"

As he spoke, Yin Yunze pulled out a Dream Character card. He deliberately held it between his fingers so Zuo Xiaoyu could see it, while simultaneously reciting a phrase he had made up on the spot.

"My soul returns in dreams, but my heart wanders in confusion!"

In this situation, directly Expel Evil and Dispel Filth should also be effective, and may even be more effective.

But sometimes, if you don't go around in circles, how will people know how hard you've worked?

If you do something too efficiently and cleanly, people won't think you're capable. Instead, they'll just think it was too easy and they overcharged you.

As the dream characters turned to ashes, Yin Yunze also entered Xu Yue's dream.

Upon entering Xu Yue's dream, Yin Yunze couldn't help but frown.

Unlike ordinary people's dreams, Xu Yue's dream world was entirely gray, like the surface world of Silent Hill, shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist. Moreover, it emitted an indescribable stench.

Since breathing wasn't necessary in the dream, Yin Yunze simply turned off his breathing function manually.

Compared to absolute darkness, this hazy, half-black atmosphere is more likely to make people feel uneasy.

The specific scene in the dream was the Xu family mansion that Yin Yunze had just seen.

However, under such circumstances, the entire Xu residence became somewhat gloomy and terrifying.

With a quick sense, Yin Yunze located Xu Yue, the owner of the dream.

Xu Yue's current location is not the room where she is currently lying, but a room that is much larger in terms of space and bed.

Judging from the decorations inside, this should be Xu Hanxian and Zuo Xiaoyu's bedroom.

Clearly, Xu Yue felt safer in her parents' room than in her own. Unfortunately, in this nightmare, there were no parents to protect Xu Yue.

Therefore, Xu Yue was huddled in the corner of the bed, trembling, her head buried between her knees, repeatedly crying out, "No, don't come any closer! Father, Mother, where are you! Yue'er is so scared! Someone please save Yue'er..."

Around Xu Yue stood several strangely shaped ghosts, emitting shrill cries and constantly frightening Xu Yue.

Once the target is identified, things become much easier.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze transformed his image in the dream into a luminous Nine-Tailed White Fox.

Descending from the sky, Yin Yunze landed beside Xu Yue and wrapped his fluffy tail around Xu Yue, the white light dispelling the darkness surrounding her.

"Xu Yue, you're safe now."

"Hmm?" Hearing Yin Yunze's soft voice, Xu Yue cautiously opened her eyes. When she saw the Nine-Tailed White Fox that Yin Yunze had transformed into, Xu Yue was immediately stunned.

Seeing Xu Yue's stunned expression, Yin Yunze said softly, "Xu Yue, don't be afraid. I was sent by your mother to rescue you. You'll be alright soon!"

As he spoke, Yin Yunze turned to the group of dream demons in front of Xu Yue and shouted, "Get out!"

At that moment, the sound seemed to materialize into light waves.

As the white light flashed, not only did the little devils vanish into thin air, but the whole world returned to daylight filled with sunshine.

After doing all that, Yin Yunze said to Xu Yue, "It's all alright now. Your mother is waiting for you in reality! Wake up!"

As they were talking, Yin Yunze was the first to leave the dream.

Opening his eyes, Yin Yunze looked at Zuo Xiaoyu, who was anxiously waiting beside him, and said softly, "I have dispelled the nightmare from your daughter's body. She will wake up soon."

Before Zuo Xiaoyu could express her gratitude, as if to confirm Yin Yunze's words, Xu Yue let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes from the bed.

Startled, Xu Yue looked at Zuo Xiaoyu and called out, "Mother..."

"Yue'er, you're finally awake!" Zuo Xiaoyu, forgetting all about being impolite, rushed to Xu Yue's side and anxiously asked, "How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"

"I feel so awful, my whole body feels uncomfortable."

Upon hearing Zuo Xiaoyu's question, Xu Yue subconsciously replied, but quickly changed the subject. "I think I had a nightmare, no, not exactly a nightmare, right? It started off really scary, you and Dad disappeared, I searched the house for ages, but I couldn't find you and Dad..."

Moreover, many monsters appeared in the house and tried to eat me... I was terrified and hid in your room. But those monsters still wouldn't let me go... Then, a very beautiful big fox appeared. It had nine tails and was white.

That big fox was so powerful; it roared once, and all the demons and monsters vanished, and dawn broke... It was also that big white fox that told me, "Mother, you're waiting for me outside! Tell me to wake up quickly..."
