Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The white light gradually turned dim as Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and witnessed the scene before him.
“Eh?” Yang Dingtian issued a voice of doubt immediately.
What was going on? Could this be the depths of Dongfang Bingling’s consciousness? Why was it similar to reality?
Yang Dingtian was stupefied because the scene before him was exactly the same as before he entered the dreamland.
Dongfang Bingling’s beautiful face immediately entered his vision the instant he opened his eyes. Both of their faces were extremely close to each other while their nose stuck onto each other. Their lips were also in contact with each other.
Not only were their faces stuck close together, but even their bodies were also stuck together like the conjoined twins.
Furthermore, both of them were inside the pool as well, and the pool was also flashing in radiance with countless Threads of Destructive Footprints circulating around as they bound both of them together tightly.
In addition, countless Threads of Destructive Footprints turned into beams of light as they entered their bodies, causing both of their bodies to grow brighter!
The spectacle before him was similar to reality. This could only prove one thing, he failed to enter into the depths of Dongfang Bingling’s divine sense.
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but turn cold as a hint of disappointment bubbled up.
Regardless of what the reason was, he had failed to enter into the depths of Dongfang Bingling’s consciousness. After opening his eyes, Yang Dingtian was still stuck in reality.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian turned around and glanced towards Tan Tai, who was ashore.
Just when his neck had slightly budged, Dongfang Bingling suddenly opened her beautiful eyes.
The pair of beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars and were extremely beautiful.
She had actually woken up? The unconscious Dongfang Bingling had actually woken up.
What was going on? She had unexpectedly woken up when Yang Dingtian had yet to enter into the depths of her consciousness.
But immediately after, Dongfang Bingling opened her mouth and spoke, which caused Yang Dingtian to be completely stunned.
Her lips left Yang Dingtian’s lips as she spoke, “Shen Lang, you have awakened?”
Her voice was still cold like the jadeite. However, there were traces of excitement.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian was flabbergasted. What was going on? He had always been awake. Why would she say that Yang Dingtian had awakened?
“Had I always been unconscious?” Yang Dingtian inquired in astonishment.
“Yea. You had already been in a coma for more than 20 days.” Dongfang Bingling replied.
More than 20 days? The number of days since Yang Dingtian had awakened in the unfreezing pool till now seemed to be more than 20 days as well.
All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian trembled.
He understood. Currently, he was in Dongfang Bingling’s dream. He had successfully entered Dongfang Bingling’s consciousness.
Everything that was happening before him was Dongfang Bingling’s dream.
It was just that Dongfang Bingling’s dream was exactly the same as reality.
The strange thing was Yang Dingtian had always existed in Dongfang Bingling’s dream.
Yang Dingtian didn’t reveal the truth and wanted to know what was exactly going on here. He couldn’t help but inquire, “What’s going on here? Why would I be in a coma?”
Dongfang Bingling replied, “It’s all my fault. During then, I had refined all of the Mystic Flame energy to heal my injuries. Therefore, I had submerged into an unconscious state for a month, and you awakened me a month later. However, because the awakening technique was relatively… unusual, you used your finger and stabbed into my Jinmen acupuncture point, which was a vital part of me. I instantly woke up after being stabbed. However, when I awakened from my unconsciousness, some of my memories had yet to return. Thus, I instinctively sensed danger and felt that you sullied me. Therefore, I gave you a palm strike. My memories had returned very quickly before I had struck you. Thus, I retracted the majority of my strength after knowing that you’re innocent. However, you still got injured and vomited blood.”
“What happened after that?” Yang Dingtian inquired in shock.
Dongfang Bingling continued, “Subsequently, I used mystic qi to suspend your life forcefully. However, I was still unable to save you. Therefore, I brought the unconscious you and looked for the Foxman Race as I wanted to ask the Foxman Race’s chieftain Zhuri Beila if there’s anyone who could save you. Unexpectedly, during then, Zhuri Beila was also gravely injured and was unconscious. Furthermore, his adoptive son, Leiming, wanted to entrap him. Not only did he want to marry Princess Xiangxiang, but he also wanted to obtain the Foxman Race’s chieftain position as well.”
Yang Dingtian was stupefied completely.
Never had he imagined that Dongfang Bingling’s dream was practically the same as reality.
However, in reality, it was Yang Dingtian who brought the unconscious Dongfang Bingling to the Foxman Race. However, in Dongfang Bingling’s dream, it was she who brought the unconscious Yang Dingtian to the Foxman Race.
“After that? What happened next?” Yang Dingtian inquired impatiently.
Dongfang Bingling continued, “I saved Zhuri Beila and killed Leiming.”
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but widen his mouth as he muttered inwardly, “All of it was done by me. It’s me who saved Zhuri Beila and killed Leiming.”
“You, how did you save Zhuri Beila since you aren’t a Concoction Master?” Yang Dingtian asked.
Dongfang Bingling spoke, “Perhaps, I should thank you. Originally, I would have inevitably died when Ba Bi self-destructed since my qi vessel had cracked. However, you gave me a type of holy water that allowed my body to recover in a short period. Hence, I found the remaining bits of holy water on you and used it to save Zhuri Beila.”
Yang Dingtian laughed bitterly immediately as he muttered inwardly, “What a good Dongfang Bingling, you really know how to dream.”
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian recalled that he had impersonated high priest Na Lu and saved Zhuri Beila. He immediately inquired, “During then, did you use your Dongfang Bingling identity to save Zhuri Beila? That would be extremely dangerous.”
“Of course not.” Dongfang Bingling replied, “Other than the minority, the remaining Half-Human Race held hostility towards humanity. Therefore, I found a set of high priest gown on your carriage and also did a simple facial change as I impersonated a high priest called Na Lu.”
Yang Dingtian was speechless immediately.
“What happened after that?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“After I had awakened Zhuri Beila, I had an in-depth conversation with him. We realized that we have a lot of similar opinions like the alliance with Half-Human Race, intermarriage and etc. Ultimately, it will complete the harmony between the Half-Human Race and humans. Hence, he represented the Foxman Race and formed an alliance with my Yin Yang Sect.” Dongfang Bingling continued, “However, Princess Xiangxiang Beila seemed to be acquainted with you and was extremely concerned about you. After I revealed my identity, she became somewhat hostile towards me. Furthermore, as a woman, I had impersonated a male and did some blaspheme to her. Although it was to save her and her father, she still grumbled about it.”
Currently, Yang Dingtian was already rendered speechless.
Dongfang Bingling’s dream was what he experienced in reality. Because Yang Dingtian wasn’t assured, he had always brought Dongfang Bingling with him wherever he went.
“What happened after? How did you bring me here?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
Dongfang Bingling commented, “I asked Zhuri Beila if there was any way to save you that can awaken you and let you recover your mystic qi. He told me a name.”
“What name?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
“Sage.” Dongfang Bingling narrated, “He’s the spiritual leader of the East Parting Grassland and is the conviction of countless Half-Human Race as he possessed a status that is close to a god. However, Zhuri Beila felt that this Sage is extremely mysterious or could be a dangerous person. Therefore, I hesitated at first, but I still chose to bring you here.”
Yang Dingtian inquired, “After that?”
Dongfang Bingling continued, “I brought you along and traveled 1,000 miles per day. Eight days later, we finally reached the location the Sage resides at, the Celestial Red Sea. I carried you and climbed up the ten thousand meters cliff as something strange happened. When I climbed the cliff, my mystic qi had unexpectedly vanished, and I became an ordinary person. At best, I would be somewhat stronger than a commoner. I had spent several days before reaching the summit of the ten thousand meters cliff and arrived at the Red Sea above the sky.”
“What happened next?” Yang Dingtian continued.
Dongfang Bingling continued, “After which, I let you lie on my lap and awaited the Sage temple to float over as I sat at the seaside. Time passed by day by day, and we completely exhausted our water and other supplies. Elixir no longer had their effectiveness here. Thus, I grew weaker and was on the verge of death. I thought that both of us would die in this Celestial Red Sea.”
“And?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
Dongfang Bingling continued, “When I lost my consciousness, a temple drifted over from afar as it grew closer. Subsequently, a near-perfection lady walked out and carried us into the temple. She let me consume a pot of water, which allowed me to gain my consciousness and restore my energy. I asked her if there’s any way to save you. She told me about a way, but it was challenging.”
“What way did she use to save me?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
Dongfang Bingling narrated, “After she brought me into the temple, there was a pool, and the water is extremely clear. And there was also a lot of vital energy called the Threads of Destructive Footprints swimming inside. Once we jumped into the pool, these Threads of Destructive Footprints bound us together, which stuck both of our bodies together tightly. After which, I had to use these Threads of Destructive Footprints and enter your body. It’d be able to help you recover, awaken, and restore your energy. However, my vitality would receive huge damages, and my cultivation would drop greatly. Furthermore, there is still a chance of you remaining unconscious. She asked me if I still wanted to save you since the consequences were so severe.”
Yang Dingtian replied, “You actually agreed to invest so much just to save me?”
Dongfang Bingling replied, “During then, I didn’t wish to agree to it. However, I have no idea why I would agree to it immediately. I also felt that it was inconceivable after I had agreed to it.”
Yang Dingtian was truly astonished. Dongfang Bingling was extremely arrogant and selfish. Everyone was like an ant to her. Long ago, when she was fighting against Dugu Fengwu at the Willow Silk Manor, she wouldn’t even care about her personal sword servant. It was completely a fantasy for her to sacrifice so much just to save a man’s life.
However, she had actually agreed to it. Although this was a dream, she still felt that this is reality. The dreamland Dongfang Bingling was also the true Dongfang Bingling.
Yang Dingtian was unable to imagine that Dongfang Bingling would sacrifice so much just to save his life.
“Why? Why would you agree?” Yang Dingtian asked, “Is it because I had saved you numerous times, gave you the holy water, and also donated one-third of my blood to you beneath the unfreezing pool?”
Dongfang Bingling shook her head, “I also thought it was because of these. However, it wasn’t. I think of everyone beneath me. Even if you saved me 100 times or donated all your blood to me, I would still remain unmoved. Perhaps, I might trust a person but would never be moved. Therefore, even if you had saved me 100 times, I would still kill you if there were a need to do so.”
Her words were extremely ruthless. However, Yang Dingtian strongly believed that Dongfang Bingling was undoubtedly such a person. Of course, Dugu Fengwu was such a person as well, and Dongfang Bingling was even more ruthless than Dugu Fengwu.
“Then why would you sacrifice so much just to save me?”
A trace of complex radiance flashed in Dongfang Bingling’s eyes as she replied, “Perhaps, it’s because I had taken care of you for so many days. For the past 20 days, I had to feed you water and clean every part of your body every day. You used to urinate in your pants three times a day. Every time, I had to clean you up and change another set of clothes for you. Furthermore, I also had to massage all your muscles every day. I took care of you meticulously and had never once taken care of anyone else so meticulously before. Your weakness, shamelessness, and your whole life depended on me. That kind of sense of security had caused my cold and firm heart to gradually soften…”
Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling shook her head, “This kind of feeling is extremely weird. Unexpectedly, I started to be worried, concerned, and feel sorry for you. I’m terrified, and I’m not accepting of such feelings as I felt my coldness and ruthlessness disappear gradually. At the same time, I had also started to be infatuated and intoxicated by this feeling.”
Dongfang Bingling stared at Yang Dingtian closely, “Shen Lang, do you know that I was never interested in the feelings between a man and woman. I felt that I’m not a woman and merely possessed a woman’s body. However, my heart had already transcended from gender differentiation. Yet, during the times I protected and took care of you, my heart actually went through this kind of terrifying change. I would even dream sometimes, and the dreams were extremely embarrassing too. The dreams only had the two of us. Every time I wake up from the dream, my body would go through unpredictable changes…”
Yang Dingtian was stupefied as he looked at Dongfang Bingling as his heart trembled.
Dongfang Bingling sighed, “So, when the woman asked me if I were willing to sacrifice half of my vitality to save you, I still agreed to it even though my rationality told me not to. It was as if an ineffable feeling had already occupied my mind. Do you know why?”
Yang Dingtian shook his head on instinct.
Dongfang Bingling spoke gently, “Shen Lang, could this be the love between a man and a woman? I would still be angry and remain ice-cold even if other men were to save me 100 times. However, my heart actually changed after I had taken care of a weak and injured male. Shen Lang, have I fallen in love with you?”
