Chapter 1042: The Same Dream

Chapter 1042: The Same Dream

Lin Nuo: “?!”

What is happening here? Are you trying to make me, Lin Nuo, happy?

No, given her personality, how could she utter the disgusting words “big brother”?

After all, she’s the wicked young master of the underworld, Mu Yiting.

Such a term should come from a cute girl like Ruo’er.

Of course, it’s not impossible that she enjoys playing the older brother-younger sister role and has intentionally learned a soft and delicate tone.

But the chances of that are slim.

“Me? When did you give me such a nickname? Even the little girl who’s about the same age as Ruo’er doesn’t call me that. Just be honest with me; no need for the roundabout approach. We don’t need to do this.”

Lin Nuo didn’t believe her and questioned Mu Yiting about the truth.

“It’s you! How can you not believe it?”

“If I called you little sister, you wouldn’t believe it, right?”

“I would believe it.”

“Fine, as long as you’re happy. You can call me whatever you want; it doesn’t concern me. Your clothes are wet; you should dry them off.”

Lin Nuo shook his head, too lazy to argue with Mu Yiting.

“It’s really great to run into you. But the reason I just called you that isn’t without basis. I had a dream, a dream about my childhood, and then I met you, so I called you big brother. Just listen to it; you can consider it me talking nonsense.”

Mu Yiting sat by the fire, which warmed her up nicely since she had been in the water for too long and was getting cold.

“A dream? A dream about childhood? Even if I met you, how can you be sure that’s the childhood me?”

Lin Nuo felt something was off; what’s going on? He had that dream too; he returned to the time when he first crossed over.

“At that time I wasn’t sure because you didn’t want to tell me your name. But later, I met someone who knew that it was you.”

“So you met someone in the dream, right?”

“No, I met someone in reality.”

“?? What kind of heavenly logic is that? You dreamed of a little boy, and then someone in reality told you that little boy was me? Does he steal dreams too?”

Lin Nuo was confused; how could a real person deduce the characters from a dream?

“That doesn’t really make sense. But I’m willing to believe that the little boy I met in my dream was you. Looking back, his mannerisms and speech were very similar to yours. I mean, he was small in body, but his thoughts and soul were like yours.”

Mu Yiting said, and Lin Nuo was quite surprised to hear that.

He felt like his dream had been stolen, or maybe they had connected in their dreams and met together?!

Wait, wait, it could just be a coincidence.

Lin Nuo then asked:

“Let me ask you, do you know Cangshan Forest?”

“Hmm?! My dream was in Cangshan Forest! Back then, many people died there, and then I met little you, who took me away. After that, we met Su Kexin. Then we went to town, where the people from Helong Hall were looking for us, including my dad.”

“?! Wait, your dream…”

The more Lin Nuo listened, the more shocked he became. There were too many overlaps with his dream! The trajectory of events was exactly the same!

Of course, there was one crucial thing: the Demon Realm.

Lin Nuo: “So do you know about the Demon Realm?”

Mu Yiting: “! I know! When we climbed the mountain, we discovered the Crack of the Demon Realm! But I was so scared that I had to hide behind you!”

Lin Nuo: “…… Is it possible that we’re actually having the same dream?”

The two stared at each other, stunned for two seconds, both with expressions of disbelief.

The same dream? This is so bizarre! And it’s related to childhood, concerning this world and another world!

Mu Yiting: “You mean you also had that dream, right?”

Lin Nuo: “As you described, it fits my dream perfectly. But there’s one more thing—a matter regarding your identity, as mentioned from the Demon Realm.”

Mu Yiting: “I’m a princess from some country in the Demon Realm?”

Lin Nuo: “Well, it’s the same dream. A new concept of the same world, the same dream.”

This directly shocked Lin Nuo for a hundred years; it’s too outrageous!

Are dreams really linking up? Are they gaming together in the dream world?

“I can’t believe this… this means we’re really fated to meet, able to share the same dream. My dad told me that I really got lost in Cangshan Forest when I was little, but I was found later, though there was a brief period of amnesia. Did you also go to Cangshan Forest when you were a child?”

Mu Yiting stared wide-eyed at Lin Nuo, very curious about this.

“I did go, then I was found by the Lin family and went back. But in this dream, I have my current thoughts, not as a kid. Yet you are in your child form, I thought I had gone back to the past.”

“So this really happened over ten years ago. Over ten years ago, we were both lost in Cangshan Forest. But we didn’t meet each other; it was only in this dream that we met. As for this princess thing, what do you think of its authenticity…?”

Mu Yiting asked, and after some thought, Lin Nuo replied:

“To be honest, while this dream looks like it took place over ten years ago, making us feel like we’re back in the past, it’s suspicious. We can’t confirm if the information from the Crack of the Demon Realm on the mountain is real. If someone is practicing arts to create these false messages, intentionally letting us see them, it’s also possible.”

“The person I mentioned who interpreted my dream is from the Demon Realm, the Tianqi Kingdom. He said that’s the country I belong to, and he is a minister, wanting me to return to inherit the throne.”

“Inherit the throne? After over ten years, and now they want you to inherit the throne? That’s ridiculous. Plus, you’re a girl; how could it fall to you?”

“He said that all the king’s other children have passed away, and I am the only one left, and the king is critically ill, so he needs me…”

“What do you think? Even so, would you go back?” Lin Nuo asked her.

“Even if I did, I have no reason to return. I have already put down roots here; how could I go to a strange Demon Realm? More importantly, in this world, there’s you. Why would I choose to go to the Demon Realm?”

As Mu Yiting spoke, she gazed affectionately at Lin Nuo. If the atmosphere was right, the two might end up developing something.

But Lin Nuo wouldn’t take things that far before it was necessary.

It seems this matter isn’t simple. In the last life, Mu Yiting’s disappearance might be linked to the Demon Realm or she might have died. After all, this identity could potentially draw the attention of others who know.

During that time in his previous life, he wasn’t strong enough, so he missed out on many things, including Mu Yiting’s matters.

“But it’s possible the opponent has other intentions; let’s not believe them for now.”

“I think the same, but Su Kexin and the others know I’m from the Demon Realm, which is very suspicious.”
