Chapter 191 - 0137 He Will Not Enter Dreams (Two-in-One)_2

Although she was ostracized from the hall, mingling here and enjoying some wine was lively enough.

Qinling quickly noticed a peculiar person.

A girl in a blue dress, holding a long pole, let her small boat drift on the lake surface, while she gazed into the distance towards the lake’s center.

"It’s... someone I’ve never seen before," Qinling blinked.

But recently, after a Celestial Tribulation occurred at Celestial Bright Peak, it wasn’t surprising for a few unfamiliar women to be boating, so she didn’t pay it much mind.

——

Alone, Shi Qingjun rowed her boat, her gaze focused near Xu Chang’an’s small boat in the lake’s center, her eyes glazed, unable to gather herself for a long time.

It suddenly rained at Celestial Bright Peak, surely Xu Chang’an’s doing, so she quickly left and returned, appearing near Xu Chang’an the moment the rain fell.

But...

Shi Qingjun’s lashes fluttered.

What did she see just now... what?

Shi Qingjun’s heart skipped a beat, then calmed down shortly after.

Forget it, she couldn’t put it into words.

Not wanting to be a voyeur, Shi Qingjun rowed her small boat towards Xu Chang’an, stopping not far from his cabin.

There was Xu Chang’an sitting to the side, Yun Qian sleeping soundly on his lap, the lamplight casting an unspeakable beauty over her.

Listening closely, Shi Qingjun could hear Yun Qian’s steady breathing.

Undoubtedly, Xu Chang’an was a cautious person.

Yet as time passed, Xu Chang’an hadn’t realized there was another boat, another woman, next to him.

He simply watched Yun Qian’s face quietly, in his dark eyes, faint gleams flickered, as if admiring a work of art, he stared at Yun Qian’s sleeping face, his body seemingly petrified, not moving an inch.

"..."

Shi Qingjun’s embroidered shoes spun lightly on the ground, she stared at Xu Chang’an, suddenly realizing how much this Immortal Reincarnation valued his wife.

Seeing is believing.

A passionate... Immortal?

A strange term indeed.

Shi Qingjun’s gaze fell on Yun Qian’s face, thinking it was this girl who early on formed an unbreakable bond with the Immortal Reincarnation, she was truly a fortunate person.

So, is the Immortal Reincarnation for cultivation? Or for a love tribulation?

Could it be that finding a Dao companion, experiencing emotion... is beneficial for cultivation?

If not, why is he so serious at this moment?

If he regains his memory in the future, will he still maintain this deep affection for his wife?

Shi Qingjun’s mind spun with many thoughts in an instant, but she quickly discarded some trivial thoughts.

She fully realized one thing, that Yun Qian was not just a fortunate person; from Xu Chang’an’s affection for her, she was also a huge trouble.

Shi Qingjun was reluctant to interfere excessively in Xu Chang’an’s cultivation, fearing it would disrupt his Refining Heart plan. Now, given that Yun Qian was such an important person to Xu Chang’an, it was even less possible to approach.

It’s time to go.

She raised the boat’s pole, dipped it into the water, and prepared to leave.

The rippling water alerted Xu Chang’an to the small boat carrying Shi Qingjun beside him; after a slight pause, he was about to speak.

"Shh." Shi Qingjun placed a finger on her lips, gently shaking her head, then paddled away in the boat.

"..."

Senior Sister Shi was probably just boating, with nothing urgent.

Xu Chang’an didn’t pay much attention, looking up at the sky, he found that, without realizing it, the moon had already traversed a long path.

Had he... been watching Yun Qian for that long?

Why did it feel like only a quarter of an hour had passed, yet time flew by so quickly?

——

——

Yun Qian’s stamina was poor, she always fell asleep, and inevitably had many dreams.

Due to cultivation, Xu Chang’an no longer dreams much, so in the dreams, she is often alone.

Yun Qian’s dreams are bizarre and varied, all kinds, after all, she has so many memories, most sealed, even one or two escaping occasionally would be enough trouble.

The stars formed what was called Fixed Star Heaven across the round sky and square land.

That’s how this world seemed.

At this moment, a woman in a blood-red robe gazed at a dim light in her palm, murmuring, "The sunrise... I’ve seen that too."

She slowly opened her eyes, her dark pupils gradually reflecting a layer of radiance, and the light in her palm grew brighter.

"If it’s brighter like this, will he like it?" the woman pondered, then shook her head, "He doesn’t like things too glaring."

Thus, she gently squeezed the golden blazing sun in her palm, crushing it into specks of light.

"Miss, what are you doing here?"

The woman, in a daze, suddenly heard a gentle voice. She turned her head, seeing a boy standing quietly not far away, watching her.

She liked his appearance, but when he tried to walk towards her, she closed her eyes.

Instantly, the boy in the distance was crushed, turned into a Dao Pattern, dissipating into the Star Sea, along with the destruction of a Heavenly Dao wheel somewhere.

"..."

Nowadays, Xu Chang’an rarely dreams.

So even in dreams, the Xu Chang’an there is a false existence; no matter how identical in appearance, memory, or physique, he cannot approach her.

Her husband was one person, only one could hold her hand.

——

Outside, Yun Qian’s body suddenly moved, her lashes trembling as if struggling with something.

"Miss can’t sleep well even in dreams, I said... it’s uncomfortable to sleep on the boat," Xu Chang’an sighed, holding Yun Qian’s hand.

"..."

The moment Xu Chang’an held her hand, Yun Qian calmed once more, slipping back into slumber.

——

Whether in a dream or some place, the woman in the dark red robe looked down at her hand, placing it against her cheek, unable to help but curl her lips into a smile.

Never mind.

The sunrise should be beautiful, but as for what constitutes beauty, that’s not something she could comprehend in a "dream."

Today, as long as the sun brings joy to Xu Chang’an, she would be happy.

That’s how she thought.

——

Xu Chang’an was waiting for the sunrise, he had stared at Yun Qian’s face for several hours, feeling that it should almost be time.

At this point, a wind arose outside the world.

Under Chaoyun Sect, there was an endless Cloud Sea, with wind and clouds surging, magnificently echoing with the vast ocean below, distinguishing which was sky, which was sea. If looking down from beneath the Ninth Heaven, one could see the whole sea surface floating with faint golden light, layers of mist rising from the ocean.

"It’s coming?"

Xu Chang’an glanced toward the horizon, his eyes suddenly widening, he immediately pinched Yun Qian’s cheek.

"Miss, wake up, the sun’s about to rise."

Yun Qian: "..."

"Miss."

Helpless, Xu Chang’an pulled Yun Qian’s cheeks with both hands, shaping them into a slightly comical arc, his smile carrying a trace of helplessness.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want Yun Qian to have a good sleep, he knew Miss Yun too well, understanding that if he didn’t wake her now, when dawn arrived, she’d regret missing the chance to watch the sunrise with him.

She’d be even more upset then.

"Uh... be gentle," Yun Qian winced in pain, slowly opening her eyes. She glanced at the golden radiance at the horizon, struggling to sit up.

Halfway feeling tired, she simply fell backward into Xu Chang’an’s embrace, sleepily asking, "Is it... dawn?"

"Soon," Xu Chang’an gazed to the east, where a band of white appeared along the horizon, above was a blue sky with a crescent moon like a golden bow.

"Senior Sisters said the sunrise is beautiful, it must be a spectacular sight," he said.

Listening to Xu Chang’an’s heartbeat, Yun Qian softly murmured, "If you say it’s beautiful... then I’ll look at it."

The distant golden light grew brighter, clumps of Immortal Yuan gathered, forming a sun made entirely of flames, slowly rising from beneath the sea.

The red juice of the sun dyed the clouds, gilded the dark mountains, and adorned the sky with golden light, retaking dominion over the world amidst the mist.

"..."

Blinking, Xu Chang’an suddenly thought today’s sun was a bit too bright, as if it... boiled the mountains and cooked the seas.

So big.

Why was the sun so big?

"Miss, have we seen the sun like this before?"

"I don’t know."
