Chapter 234 - 224 Seed 2
"My name is Shu Jingchen, and he is Shu Jinghui. He’s my brother. We actually stumbled upon this place by chance. Some time ago, while chatting with friends at the milk tea shop across the street, we noticed several very familiar-looking people entering this teahouse. At first, we thought they were acquaintances we knew, but upon closer inspection, we realized they were strangers," Shu Jingchen paused. "Later, we saw those people come out of the teahouse but went straight to our shop to buy milk tea. We found it strange. Clearly, they would have had tea inside, yet they still bought milk tea after coming out. Then, when we had nothing better to do, we started observing this teahouse more closely and the more we watched, the stranger it seemed."
Shu Jinghui continued, "Then, we tried to enter ourselves, but we were always stopped. At first, we thought it might be because of our clothes. We changed our attire several times, to no avail. Today we dressed formally, and it still didn’t work. We’ve been waiting here since morning. We even asked a few people to bring us in, but no one would. Only you, uncle."
"You two are far too curious," Lin Fei said with a light chuckle. "In this world, many things are incredibly dangerous. Excessive curiosity can easily bring trouble your way."
"What trouble?" Shu Jingchen asked, perplexed. "Sorry, uncle, but we’ve actually been studying abroad, so we might speak more directly."
"No worries," Lin Fei said with a smile. "However, after you go in, don’t wander off. You can’t afford to offend anyone in there. Got it?" He had originally planned to bring Shuang’er over. However, because he had recently transmitted some of the Light of True Lies to Xu Ruoruo and Shuang’er, both were adjusting to their new powers.
Shuang’er, who hadn’t been able to help much in the last battle, was becoming increasingly eager for power. Now, she was constantly adapting to her new strength. Unlike Xu Ruoruo, the amplification the Divine Artifact brought to the Dream Eater was nearly exponential. For ordinary Martial Artists like Xu Ruoruo, the boost was only around thirty to forty percent. Naturally, it took her slightly longer to adapt.
In fact, now that Lin Fei possessed one of the Divine Artifact components, he could create Dream Eaters. By using the Power of the Divine Artifact to have an ordinary person completely absorb the Power of True Lies, he could create an Awakener of the dream realm. Depending on their aptitude, they might well become a Dream Eater. However, the Power of the Divine Artifact was ultimately an external force; if the Divine Artifact were taken, the results would be the same as the Wu Family—years of effort destroyed in a single day. All Dream Eaters created by the Divine Artifact and those who had their abilities enhanced by it would instantly revert to their original state.
Returning to his senses, Lin Fei gently pushed open the large door at the end of the corridor.
"Here we are. Go in and see for yourselves."
The wooden door slowly opened.
A burst of bright white light shone in from outside, causing all three of them to squint slightly.
