Twisted Dreams

Li Yang had many questions about the Wandering Ones.

The Wandering Ones who came out of the Lost City each had their issues.

The Skeleton King slumbered in the Undead Alternate Space.

In the Lost City, it had lost much of its power over the long years, but the Undead Alternate Space would restore it to its peak state.

It’s not suitable to summon the Skeleton King at this time.

The White Absolute Spirit Child had gone missing, with no trace of whereabouts.

Sheep Buddha was demented, only reciting the word ’empty,’ completely unable to communicate, otherwise Li Yang wouldn’t have dumped him into the sea.

Meng Yu, this woman, never spoke a truthful word, or rather, Li Yang couldn’t tell which of Meng Yu’s words were true or false.

The only person Li Yang trusted, the Elder Monk, had also lost many memories.

Perhaps only Li Yao could give Li Yang some answers.

Although Li Yao seemed deeply asleep, his consciousness actually dwelled within other humans.

Li Tufang was Li Yao.

No wonder when Li Yang first met Li Tufang, he felt something off about the person’s soul fluctuations.

Li Yang thought to himself:

"Li Tufang must have recognized me; he knows I’m also a Wandering One, so he invited me to Guardian Dao Academy as a teacher.

But why does he want me to be a teacher at Guardian Dao Academy?

Is there something he wants to tell me?"

Li Yang couldn’t figure it out and murmured softly:

"Interesting."

At this moment, Suzu spoke up:

"You found what I said interesting too, didn’t you?"

Li Yang was taken aback, looking at Meng Yu who was laughing heartily.

Weren’t these two just at odds with each other earlier, why now...?

After laughing enough, Meng Yu said:

"Suzu said I hide a dagger behind my smile, so I asked her what that meant."

Li Yang was a bit confused and asked:

"And then?"

Suzu quickly continued, fearing Meng Yu might reveal the punchline:

"Then I explained!

I said the meaning of hiding a dagger behind a smile is:

Hahahahaha dagger hahahahahaha."

Li Yang pursed his lips.

Haha, how cold.

Suzu giggled and asked:

"Li Yang, can we keep her here, so I have someone to play with?"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

Haha, this joke was rather funny.

Women can be quite strange sometimes, becoming good friends seemingly in an instant.

Li Yang wanted to refuse, but Suzu was ready to make a fuss, which Li Yang found annoying.

Actually, keeping her around was fine; this woman’s cultivation wasn’t as advanced as his own, posing no threat.

If Li Yang needed her to do something, he wouldn’t have to search the world for her.

Li Yang pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Alright, I’ll be going out on a trip tonight, back in a few days."

"Yay! You’re the best!"

Suzu suddenly hugged Li Yang and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Li Yang was completely taken aback.

When Suzu was still a cat, she always liked licking Li Yang’s face.

Now that she was human, Li Yang found it quite unsettling.

Meng Yu, seeing this, was overtaken by jealousy:

"I want one too!"

Meng Yu leaned in, but Suzu extended her hand to stop Meng Yu’s mouth, her tone hostile:

"You dare!"

...

At night, Li Yang had already boarded a plane leaving the South Sea, heading to the Imperial Capital.

Why didn’t Li Yang use magic to travel to the Imperial Capital? It would be faster.

For Li Yang, pursuing efficiency was good, but relentlessly chasing efficiency in everything would diminish many of life’s pleasures.

At the Half-Mountain Villa in the South Sea, Suzu sat on the sofa watching TV.

The TV was showing legal news, a type of program Suzu despised the most.

Meng Yu, having finished bathing, was dressed in a robe as she sat beside Suzu and asked:

"Why did you decide to keep me?"

Suzu turned to look at Meng Yu with a sneaky expression on her face:

"Guess."

For the first time, the two beauties were not arguing or joking; they were having a serious conversation.

Meng Yu wiped her wet hair with a towel and shook her head:

"I can’t guess, but I know you find me annoying."

In Suzu’s eyes, there was gloom:

"I do find you annoying.

I find it annoying that we look alike, and it’s not just looks—even our tastes are identical."

This taste had two meanings; one was they shared preferences for dipping sauces, and the other was unclear.

Meng Yu looked provocatively at Suzu:

"And then?"

Suzu said:

"Your rank is very high, I don’t know where you come from, nor can magic reveal your origins; you have issues."

Meng Yu put down the towel, waiting for Suzu to continue.

Suzu continued:

"Li Yang once went underwater and, after seeing a booklet, decided to leave home.

I guess you have something to do with that booklet."

Meng Yu recalled the letter she left for Li Yang, looking at Suzu with amusement:

"Keep going."

Suzu said:

"After returning, Li Yang slept heavily; he overslept, whereas he’s usually punctual and never sleeps in.

I guess he must have gone and fought someone."

Meng Yu was stunned, not expecting seemingly carefree Suzu to guess everything!

Suzu said:

"You appeared at the same time; I could sense Li Yang felt helpless with you.

That helplessness was wanting to extract some value from you, yet being cautious and not daring to act rashly.

To make Li Yang feel afraid, haha, you’re quite remarkable."

Who in the world knew Li Yang the best?

Probably only this cat.

Meng Yu finally looked seriously at Suzu.

Suzu asked:

"So why do you think I’ve kept you here?"

Meng Yu shook her head:

"Can’t guess."

Suzu’s lips curved into a smile, revealing small tiger teeth:

"Since you’re useful to Li Yang, I should keep you.

For Li Yang’s sake, I’ll watch over you closely.

If you’re dangerous, I’ll find out first."

Meng Yu suddenly exuded a terrifying aura!

The oppression of Tier Six, like Mount Tai, pressed down on Suzu.

Meng Yu stared at Suzu:

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"

Suzu faced the immense pressure without fear, her smile growing wider, her big eyes full of cunning:

"This is the second reason I kept you.

If you harbor ill intentions toward Li Yang, to silence me, you would definitely kill me.

Once I’m dead, Li Yang will certainly uncover how I died; he’s so smart; he’ll also detect your deceitful intentions.

Consider me a warning for Li Yang."

Meng Yu retracted her aura, the unease and agitation within the room completely subsided.

Meng Yu looked at Suzu with complicated emotions and sighed:

"You really care about Li Yang."

Suzu tilted her head, her posture proud:

"Of course, Li Yang is family, and I’m also family to Li Yang."

Meng Yu quietly sat on the sofa:

"Can you tell me some stories about Li Yang?"

Suzu instantly became cautious:

"Why? Trying to gather intelligence?"

Meng Yu shook her head:

"Just want to know how he is; you can tell me some non-secret things."
