Chapter 489: This Dream is Ridiculous

Chapter 489: This Dream is Ridiculous

It was an endless expanse of ocean, the water blended with the sky, no shore in sight.

The surface was calm, not a single ripple, even when Qin Shili lightly touched the water, it didn’t stir a splash.

She gazed at the man before her who controlled the powers of immortals and demons; at this moment, he seemed like the pinnacle of the world, unbeatable.

“Lin Nuo, this must be your true self, right?”

“Perhaps.”

Lin Nuo coldly replied,

“Can you still move?”

“No. Can you carry me?”

“I can.”

With a flick of his hand, as if wielding magic, Qin Shili began to float and drifted into his arms; then he held her in a princess carry.

“Pretty light.”

“Is that so? Then do you like it?”

“Pretty good.”

Lin Nuo nodded and started walking on the water’s surface.

This was the vast ocean, truly without end; Qin Shili had no idea where this stroll would take them.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

Lin Nuo didn’t answer, continuing to walk, his expression cold as usual, not a single wave of emotion, even more aloof than her, Qin Shili.

As they walked, gradually, the endless sea vanished, and they found themselves at the edge of a cliff.

The cliff loomed over a dark abyss, unfathomable, a fall down could surely lead to destruction.

At that moment, Lin Nuo jumped off the cliff while holding Qin Shili, a chilling wind swept by, even Qin Shili, who had an Ice Spiritual Root and was used to cold, felt a sharp chill.

But Lin Nuo showed no fear; his body was warm, and under his princess carry, Qin Shili gradually felt the warmth, forgetting the icy sensation of their descent.

They traversed the endless abyss, darkness thickening until she could see nothing at all.

Qin Shili tightened her grip around Lin Nuo’s neck; she had no idea where they were headed next.

In front of her was pure darkness, yet suddenly, a bright light enveloped them; they burst through the dark abyss and were presented with a realm filled with immortal clouds.

But they continued to fall, ultimately landing in a grove.

This grove seemed familiar, but she couldn’t remember when she’d been there.

After all, most of her encounters with Lin Nuo happened in the woods—it was quiet, perfect for meetings, and if outsiders came, they could be noticed in time.

In the grove, there was a modest house, not too big, simply adorned, with a small courtyard filled with flowers and a few stone tables and benches.

Lin Nuo landed, bringing Qin Shili down to the courtyard.

It was very quiet, only the sounds of birds and the whispering of the wind through the leaves breaking the silence.

Lin Nuo’s immortal and demonic aura slightly faded but remained potent, hard to suppress completely.

“You should mostly be recovered now,” Lin Nuo remarked.

“External injuries are healing, but the internal ones are still there.”

“My healing technique should help with the internal injuries.”

“It’s not a true internal injury; it’s my feelings for you.”

Qin Shili approached Lin Nuo, gripping his hand tightly.

“You’ve harnessed your righteous and demonic powers to their peak, representing your strength, unmatched across the world.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, I didn’t understand feelings before; only after meeting you did I realize their complexities. My heart carries wounds that need your care. I deeply love you, the strongest man. Can you accept me? I wish to be with you.”

The prideful and cold Qin Shili displayed a touch of softness, like an ordinary girl expressing her feelings to the one she admired.

Lin Nuo gazed at Qin Shili’s alluring face, lifting his hand to caress it, smooth as ice and snow.

“What a lovely face,” Lin Nuo said.

“Do you like it?”

“Of course I do.”

“Then does that mean you accept me?”

“I don’t accept you. Why would I bring you here? Listen well, woman, from now on, this shall be our home.”

Lin Nuo continued to caress Qin Shili’s face, his voice rich with magnetism as he spoke the sacred word “home”; even the ice-cold Qin Shili couldn’t resist, her heart fluttering.

“Home? I would love to live here. Ultimately, all cultivation is but a return to simplicity — to spend my days with the strongest you.”

After saying this, Qin Shili’s eyes sparkled with affection; even the Ice Beauty had her tender moments. She leaned closer to Lin Nuo, gazing at his handsome face, unable to restrain her feelings, and kissed his lips.

Lin Nuo tightly embraced the silver-haired woman; although they had kissed many times before, the feelings this time were far more profound, woven with deep love.

They intertwined like immortal and demonic blades.

……

In a simple dwelling.

Lin Nuo opened his eyes to see a familiar wooden ceiling.

Where is this? Am I back from a dream?

No, this is my temporary residence, the makeshift room.

Lin Nuo sat up, glancing around, confirming his realization.

“Wow, I just woke up.”

He muttered to himself, covering his forehead, memories of the previous dream flooding back.

It was a series of dreams, three in total.

To “do” means to dream.

And “dream” refers to the dreamscape.

These three dreams were somewhat ridiculous.

In the first, he became a world-famous sword immortal, riding his sword through the skies; with just a wave of his hand, he could control overwhelming sword intent, effortlessly slaying countless black-clad men.

In the end, he rescued his senior martial sister, Liu Shuqin, and then grew intimate with her.

Ridiculous.

The intimacy was secondary; becoming an immortal was outright absurd! After being called a knight and hero so many times, in a dream, he ends up as an immortal?

In the second, he became a Demon Ruler; this one was a bit more plausible. He annihilated that foolish group in the Demon Palace without a trace, gaining awe from thousands, ultimately encountering his disciple, Ling Meng, who was being bullied. He saved her and then suggested she be his woman, indulging in some intimacy first before taking her back to lavish affection on her.

This was like a domineering CEO and his delicate wife; clearly, he was in the wrong scene.

Ridiculous.

But if he truly became a ruling Demon Ruler one day, who knows, he might just pursue Ling Meng.

Seems simple enough—she cultivates demonic arts, is obedient, and has great looks and figure; a fine catch.

He hadn’t sought a woman before completing his grand undertaking but never said he wouldn’t afterward.

Thinking back, it didn’t seem so ridiculous.

As for the third…

This one completely shattered the worldview of this cultivation realm. He directly mastered the power of immortals and demons, with sword intents that shook the heavens and dragon souls that astounded the world, annihilating enemies in an instant.

Could it be possible that he fused the rightful and demonic powers into one and reached peak prowess? Even that Su fellow couldn’t achieve it! Why mix in immortal techniques when all he needed was demon power?

Then he saved Qin Shili, found a small house in the grove to live in seclusion, called it their home, and ended up getting intimate.

Ridiculous.

In summary, these three dreams were: he grew stronger, saved people, then had intimacy.

No way! A mere villain like me dreaming such shameless dreams? Where would I put my face?

And what about those cannon fodder in the dream? Too weak!
