At this moment, Chu Feng could still clearly remember the face and voice of the woman in his dream. Normally, after waking up, wouldn’t such memories become vague and blurry?
Noticing the dazed look on Chu Feng’s face, Bai Yuyan asked,
“Junior Brother, is something on your mind?”
“Senior Sister Yuyan, do you think the things that happen in dreams… are real or not?”
In the past, Chu Feng definitely wouldn’t have asked something like that. Dreams were obviously fake.
But now? Even something as absurd as transmigration had happened to him. Oh right, this was a cultivation world… encountering strange and bizarre things was nothing out of the ordinary.
If you saw someone eating a mysterious “Lao Ba Secret Sauce Bun” on the street, just let them be. Maybe that’s really their thing.
Hearing Chu Feng’s question, Bai Yuyan thought for a moment.
“When it comes to dreams, it depends on your cultivation level. For low-level cultivators, dreams are usually chaotic and meaningless. But the higher one’s cultivation, the more meaningful the dreams can become. Some dreams serve as warnings of danger, and some are even more mysterious…. like the awakening of memories from a past life.”
Past life memories?!
Could it be… that the dream he had last night was a memory from his previous life?
That would actually explain why Chu Feng had ended up in this world. Perhaps he had originally belonged to this world in his previous life.
So, was that truly a memory of Chu Feng’s past life?
“Why do you ask, Junior Brother?”
Bai Yuyan asked curiously.
“It’s nothing, really. I just had a dream last night, so I wanted to ask you about dreams, Senior Sister Yuyan.”
Of course, Chu Feng couldn’t just say, “Senior Sister Yuyan, I dreamed about marrying another woman last night.”
While Chu Feng might not be the most emotionally intelligent person, he wasn’t that clueless.
Never talk about another woman in front of a woman who likes you. Otherwise, the consequences could be terrifying.
At that moment, Chu Feng’s token vibrated. A message had arrived. It was a summons to gather for the next round of the tournament.
The two of them got out of bed immediately.
But just as Chu Feng got up, he realized…. when did he end up with only a single layer of clothing left?!
Naturally, this was Senior Sister Yuyan’s doing. While she didn’t “cross the line”, she wasn’t about to pass up a chance to lay the groundwork for the future.
“Junior Brother, come here. Let me help you get dressed.”
Bai Yuyan took out a fresh set of clothes.
Whenever she helped him dress, Chu Feng would always feel her soft, dark hair brush lightly against his neck, tickling him and leaving behind a faint, elegant fragrance.
Suddenly, he felt something full and soft press tightly against his back. A warm breath exhaled gently against his ear, instantly scattering his focus.
Oh no… if this keeps up, I’m really going to fall for her.
But if his master were to find out that something had happened between him and Senior Sister Yuyan…
Then without a doubt, he was headed straight into a love-fueled warzone.
His master and senior sister would become sworn enemies and he’d be the root of all the chaos.
At this point, Chu Feng couldn’t help but think of one particular figure. It was Brother Cheng.
Besides, both his master and Senior Sister Yuyan were far stronger than him.
He used to laugh at Brother Cheng, but now… he was crying in the same boat.
The moment Chu Feng thought of Brother Cheng’s tragic ending…. Nope!
It wasn’t that Chu Feng didn’t want to walk that path. He just wanted to avoid the bad ending.
Wouldn’t it be better to aim for a happy ending where everyone supports him like wings beneath his flight?
***
Martial Arena of Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect. Arena One.
Once again, the battles for First-Rank cultivators were being held on Arena One.
Prime Minister Zhao Shoucheng had arrived early in the morning. He carefully inspected each and every lottery token. Only after confirming that all the participants were from the imperial side or the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect did he breathe a sigh of relief.
There could be no mistakes this time.
If anything went wrong again, Her Majesty would definitely not spare him so easily next time.
Chu Feng arrived at Arena One. Just like yesterday, it was time to draw lots.
He looked at his token: Number One!
Oh come on….just how bad is my luck?!
Thinking back, even winning a “try again” on a bottle cap had always been tough for him.
Next, the officiating official called out:
“Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect. Number Four!”
Bang!
A young man landed on the elevated platform. Arrogance was radiating from his features.
Chu Feng immediately recognized him. It was Lin Ruo!.
Yesterday, he had fought in the first match and left right after. This time, he needed to carefully study Lin Ruo’s fighting style.
From now on, Chu Feng understood. There was no avoiding a battle with Lin Ruo.
Becoming enemies with the main character never ends well. He absolutely couldn’t just sit around and wait for death!
“Pfft—cough, cough!”
Up in the high seat, Zhao Shoucheng had just taken a sip of tea when he spat it out again, eyes wide in shock as he stared at the young man on the platform. This guy… isn’t dead?!
That morning, while working in his office, the commander of the Dragon Phoenix Guard had informed him that someone named Lin Ruo from Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect had been killed under Her Majesty’s orders and that Zhao Shoucheng needed to handle the aftermath.
Zhao Shoucheng had even come up with an excuse: Hmm, Lin Ruo’s mother gave birth to her second child last night, so he went home to take care of things. Just mark him absent.
Now that he was seeing Lin Ruo, didn’t that old bastard Liu Qinggong say the job was cleanly done?
Hmm! Things were starting to get interesting….Liu Qinggong had failed his mission.
As for whether Zhao Shoucheng would step in?
What a joke. His only task was to protect Young Master Chu Feng. He couldn’t be happier to watch Liu Qinggong’s show fall apart.
Nearby, another official watched as the Prime Minister spat out his tea again. Could it be the tea wasn’t to his liking?
Looks like we’ll need to switch tea leaves tomorrow.
Lin Ruo’s battle ended quickly. You could say the entire match was a one-man show by Lin Ruo.
After watching, Chu Feng had to admit. Lin Ruo truly lived up to his role as the main character. He was indeed powerful, crushing cultivators of the same level as easily as drinking water.
At his current level, he was nowhere near Lin Ruo’s match.
Of course, that was in a head-on confrontation. In a direct fight, Chu Feng definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against Lin Ruo.
But he wasn’t stupid enough to charge at the protagonist head-on like an idiot.
As long as he launched a perfect, shameless sneak attack….who knows? Things might actually turn around!
“Next up, Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect, Number One!”
Hearing his number called, Chu Feng leapt onto the platform, eager to see who his opponent would be.
“From the imperial side. Number Six!”
Boom!
A ball of fire crashed onto the platform, and from the roaring flames emerged a figure.
A dogtail grass stem in his mouth, a huge blade slung over his shoulder, his body radiating killing intent. His eyes were like those of a wild beast, muscles rippling, stubble all over his face, and a distinctive scar cutting across it.
“It’s him! Zhou Xuanba! He’s only eighteen this year!”
“Is he seriously just eighteen?!”
“Damn, why does the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect guy always draw a monster?”
“Haha! This one’s in the bag! No way a gambler loses every time! I’m putting everything on Zhou Xuanba this round!”
Chu Feng looked at the burly Zhou Xuanba standing before him and knew today was going to be another tough battle.
“Ha! Come on!”
Zhou Xuanba spat out the grass in his mouth, swung his huge blade, and flames swirled around it.
Swish!
Little Bai appeared in Chu Feng’s hand. He pointed the tip of the sword at his opponent and said,
“Then please show me your skills.”
Chu Feng locked his eyes on the opponent’s body, trying to predict what move Zhou Xuanba would make next.
The next moment, something completely unexpected happened.
Zhou Xuanba suddenly clutched his chest and his face turned pale.
“Pffft!”
Everyone saw it with their own eyes….this was what it meant to spiral through the air while vomiting blood.
Boom!
Zhou Xuanba crashed to the ground with blood pouring from his mouth. With a trembling finger, he pointed at Chu Feng and said, “Such terrifying sword energy! This boy is terrifying beyond belief!”
Then, his eyes rolled back, his tongue slipped out, and he passed out cold.
Everyone present: “???”
Chu Feng: “???”
Could someone please tell me what just happened?
