chapter 1892 – Fragments (2)

At this moment, another fragment of the Dream World was inserted into his consciousness.

In the picture, he was also about ten years old.

He and Xiao Lingxi sat on either side of Xiao Lie and listened to his gentle narration:

“Back then, not long after Che’er was born, the daughter of the City Lord Situ was born. However, due to the City Lord’s wife not feeling well, the girl was barely breathing when she was born and he was on the brink of death. ”

If they wanted to save his life, it took at least the Spirit Profound Realm Cultivation to stand a chance. The number of people in Floating Cloud City who had reached the Spirit Profound Realm could be counted on their fingers, and all of these people had extraordinary states. If they wanted to save her, they would definitely also damage their own foundation. Therefore, even if the City Lord begged bitterly, no one came to her aid. ”

“The only exception was my Ying’er. She sacrificed herself and almost used up all her Profound Energy to stabilize that poor girl’s vitality, and thus she survived.”

“Che’er, your marriage to the City Lord’s daughter was also formed from that. At that time, City Lord Situ was grateful to my son Ying’er for saving his daughter and became brother sworn with Ying’er on the spot. In front of everyone, he announced that his daughter would only marry Xiao Ying’s son in the future to return heaven’s favor. ”

“Hmph”. Xiao Lingxi pursed her lips and said in a very soft voice, “I don’t like that Situ Xuan at all. Every time she ignores everyone … it’s the same when she sees Little Che.”

…

This was also a dream that had appeared earlier.

It was a completely identical scene, the exact same words, but it became incomparably clear.

In this dream, the person Xiao Ying had risked his life for was not Xia Qingyue, but Situ Xuan.

And the person who tied the knot with Xiao Ying’s “son” by his saving grace was not Xia Qingyue, but Situ Xuan.

…

The Fragments of the Dream World shot through him again. This time, what entered his consciousness was the figure of a woman.

“Xiao Che, stop right there!”

She was tall and wore luxurious clothes.

She should only be fifteen or sixteen years old.

However, she was wearing a lot of makeup and her entire person exuded a beauty that did not match her age.

To the current Yun Che, this kind of voluptuous girl was not even worthy of making her gaze stop for half an instant.

But for a young man who had yet to develop his horizons, there was an attraction that made his blood boil.

At the very least, when Yun Che (Xiao Che) was in front of her in the picture, her face was filled with nervousness and unease that she did her best to hide.

“Miss Situ,” Yun Che replied very politely.

This was the first time Situ Xuan had taken the initiative to speak to him, and he felt uncontrollable excitement and joy in his heart.

The name ‘Situ Xuan’ appeared in his ‘Dreams’ again.

In his memories, she was the daughter of the Floating Cloud City Situ City Lord.

Since they were both in Floating Cloud City, he had naturally seen her before.

But for some unknown reason, Situ Xuan’s impression on his memories was extremely vague and he couldn’t even recall his appearance.

However, he paid no attention to it.

After all, he had already been in the supreme-ruler Realm when the “Dream World” appeared, so why would he care about the daughter of an ancient mortal City Lord that he had never interacted with before?

Also, it was just a dream.

At this moment, within this even stranger ‘Dream’, he could clearly see Situ Xuan’s entire appearance.

In that instant, all of Situ Xuan’s impressions seemed to have dissipated, becoming exceptionally clear and vivid.

This sudden clarity gave Yun Che another strange feeling. It was as if… she had never actually forgotten her appearance.

Situ Xuan looked at Yun Che with arrogance and undisguised disdain in his eyes: “Do you know what a toad is?”

“…” Yun Che’s entire body suddenly tensed, and an uncomfortable choking sensation lasted for several breaths before dissipating with great difficulty.

He did his best to remain calm and said in the calmest possible tone, “If Miss Situ has something to say, say it directly.”

Even though he was only 15 years old, he had heard too many rumors in recent years.

However, the words that Situ Xuan had personally said still made him almost break his heart.

“Hmph!” Situ Xuan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: “There are still five months left before our wedding date. I, the worthy princess of the City Lord’s family, am forced to marry a worthless cripple like you. Do you know how much teasing I’ve received in recent years because of you ?! ”

Yun Che’s face began to pale.

He bit the tip of his tongue and refused to lose his composure.

“I understand. If you are not willing, you can ask your father and grandfather to cancel the engagement … There is still time.”

“Cancel? If I could cancel, would I still be ridiculed until now ??!” Situ Xuan’s voice became even more penetrating: “Your dead father saved my life when I was born, everyone in the city knows it!”

“Back then, my father was so impetuous that he swore to marry you to repay his kindness, and in front of so many people!”

“It would have been fine if your father was still alive. There were many ways to break the engagement with him. But he had to die, and there were always rumors that the cause of his death was mainly due to saving my life. If my father broke up commitment by force, he would be called ungrateful throughout his life! ”

“How could I hurt the pride of my Situ Clan because of you?” Situ Xuan said slowly, “So don’t worry, my father won’t cancel the engagement and neither will I.”

His gaze suddenly turned frivolous.

“After all, even though you are trash, you are not completely useless. At the very least, you have a cute face. You are quite qualified to be my male pet.”

“…” Yun Che’s stiff heart finally broke, and his facial features violently contracted.

“Since we meet today, I could let you know ahead of time.” Situ Xuan narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was filled with three parts of disdain and seven parts of mockery: “In these last few months, you better learn to be obedient. If you learn well, after we get married, your life will be more or less better. If you don’t learn well … and I teach you personally, I’m afraid that crippled body of yours won’t be able to bear it. ”

¡Chuck!

As if his teeth had been crushed, Yun Che’s mouth gradually filled with a thick smell of blood.

“¡Pequeño Che!”

The most familiar scream of his life sounded, like a gentle stream of spring water flowing through his heart, pulling away the negative emotions that threatened to crush his Soul.

Seemingly satisfied with Yun Che’s sullen and painful appearance, Situ Xuan smiled proudly, turned around, and left.

Before long, the figure of a young girl came to Yun Che’s side like a dancing colored butterfly.

He looked at Situ Xuan’s back and said in surprise, “Situ Xuan? Were you talking to her just now?”

Yun Che turned his gaze and looked at the young woman next to him.

The anger and humiliation that he felt a few breaths ago and that was about to erupt in his chest had dissipated by more than half when he saw her beautiful face.

Within Floating Cloud City, regardless of whether he was within the Xiao Clan or outside the Xiao Clan, countless people had belittled and humiliated him.

It had been a long time since he had gotten used to it.

But he had a grandfather who had never given up on him and cared for him deeply.

He had a good friend like Xia Yuanba, who had protected him with all her might since he was young, and he even had a Little Aunt who was with him all the time and was eager to find him if she didn’t see him even for half an hour.

Having them in his life was already a luxury and a blessing.

As for how he was …

There was no need for him to worry …

Yes, since he was young, no matter what kind of mockery and humiliation he had to endure, as long as he returned to Xiao Lingxi’s side, he would look into her eyes and hear her voice, and he would always feel that kind of peace and satisfaction.

Everything else was no longer important.

“Yes”. Yun Che nodded: “This seems to be the first time that she has taken the initiative to speak to me. I have seen her several times in the past, but she completely ignores me.”

“Eh? Take the initiative?” Xiao Lingxi was even more shocked, “So what did he say to you?”

“Just a short talk about getting married in half a year,” Yun Che said very naturally … He would definitely not tell Xiao Lingxi about Situ Xuan’s words.

The thing he didn’t want to see the most was Xiao Lingxi’s sad and angry appearance.

It was even harder to imagine what Grandpa would look like when he found out.

“So that’s how it is.” Xiao Lingxi’s voice was a little softer, and there was a strange look in her eyes that even she herself did not notice: “These two years, there have been many strange rumors in the city. They all said that Situ Xuan’s side would definitely seek a way to cancel the engagement and, unsurprisingly, all the rumors were false. ”

“Rumors are just rumors.” Yun Che said with a smile, “The City Lord’s family will not cancel the engagement … Situ Xuan said so herself.”

“Hmm, that’s good. Dad will be happy when he finds out.”

Even though she had said those words, Xiao Lingxi, who had always been furious with all kinds of rumors, was not at all happy when she heard these words from Yun Che.

“So … you and Situ Xuan spoke for a long time just now?” Xiao Lingxi asked.

he didn’t know why he was asking such a strange question.

“Not for long, just a few breaths.” Yun Che replied, then immediately added, “I don’t like talking to her. If it weren’t for the betrothal, I wouldn’t want to marry her. I’d rather spend my whole life with Little Aunt.”

“He he!” Xiao Lingxi started laughing. After that, he slightly lowered his delicate head and said, “Actually, I don’t like that Situ Xuan at all, and I don’t want them to get married … But this is my father’s wish. He will only feel really at ease after you two are married. ”

“Alright, let’s go back first.” The young woman clung to Yun Che’s arm, her beautiful eyes shining with anticipation: “My father invited an extremely powerful doctor this time. It is said that many people call him the ‘Divine Medic.’ He will definitely … he will definitely be able to heal! Little Che! ”

…

The mists cleared and the memory of Situ Xuan, the daughter of the Floating Cloud City Lord was exactly the same that he saw in the dream at that time.

And these images, which clearly belonged to the Dream World and were not part of his own experience at all, were … so real,

Why were they … so real?

It was as if it had really happened before.

The scene that followed flushed red.

There was a red table with red candles and a red curtain.

“Little Che, today is the day of your wedding with Miss Situ! It’s almost time, get up quickly!”

He was awakened by Xiao Lingxi’s soft voice next to his ear and she personally helped him put on the bright red wedding dress.

“Little Che, this is the congee I just made. Your body is weak and your day will be long… You have to finish it all.”

He brought out a large bowl of congee that was oozing with fragrance.

“Good good good.” She obediently lifted the bowl and drank it without using a spoon.

After he finished drinking, he looked at Xiao Lingxi and his eyes clouded over. He said with some disappointment, “In the future, I don’t know if I will still be able to eat Little Aunt’s food often.”

“Hehe, you’re the one who’s going to marry the City Lord’s daughter, not me. As long as you want, I’ll cook for you every day.”

As he spoke, his smile slowly dimmed as he said in a low voice, “Little Che, on the other hand …”

“After you get married, you will definitely have less time to talk to me.”

“How is it possible?!” He immediately raised his hand and vowed, “I promised Little Aunt yesterday that after marrying Situ Xuan, I will not forget Little Aunt just because I have a wife. I can’t reduce the time I spend with Little Aunt. it would be at your disposal as before! ”

He would never forget Situ Xuan’s attitude and words towards him.

“This marriage was primarily for the sake of fulfilling his grandfather’s wish and for the sake of his deceased father.”

As for what would happen after the marriage and what kind of rumors would follow, she was no longer afraid.

Because just as Xiao Lingxi had said, he was still in the Xiao Clan, and Xiao Lingxi was still by his side.

“Big brother! Big brother!”

This was Xia Yuanba’s voice.

After that, he hurriedly ran.

“Yuanba, this is your first time getting up early” Yun Che said with a smile.

“Hehe! Today is your wedding day, so of course I have to come help.” Xia Yuanba’s face was filled with excitement.

In the scene, fifteen-year-old Xia Yuanba had an extremely beautiful appearance, and her figure was still a bit slim.

His skin color wasn’t too dark, and normal people wouldn’t be able to detect anything strange about his skin.

But with Yun Che’s current knowledge and vision, he could faintly see a strange metallic sheen on his slightly white skin.

As he grew older, the powerful light in the depths of his eyes grew sharper … and was even more penetrating to the Soul.

“Eh… well, what is it like to be married? How come you seem not so enthusiastic about it?” Xia Yuanba asked.

“I don’t really feel anything, so I can’t be considered excited either.” Yun Che looked at Xia Yuanba very seriously for a moment, then suddenly said, “So excited first thing in the morning, it mustn’t be just because of this matter that I’m getting married, right?”

“Hehe,” Xia Yuanba’s eyes lit up: “Actually, there is good news. My father invited a good friend who was a mentor at the New Moon Profound Palace two days ago. Originally, I wanted to use it to take me to the New Moon Profound Palace, but I didn’t expect the mentor to say that with my ability, I could directly enter the Blue Wind Profound Palace. ”

“Oh! That’s great! This is simply a happy occasion for our entire Floating Cloud City!” Yun Che said from the bottom of his heart, and although he was happy, his heart was also filled with deep envy and sadness.

To the current Yun Che, with Xia Yuanba’s gifted body in the Dream World, not just the Blue Wind Profound Palace … Even if he reached the supreme-ruler Realm, even if he reached the King Realms on top of the Realm from supreme-ruler, it would still cause quite a commotion.

But for Yun Che in his dream, the New Moon Profound Palace was an unattainable dream.

“Hehehe…” Xia Yuanba couldn’t hide her excited laugh: “I was so excited that I didn’t sleep well for two days. After entering the Blue Wind Profound Palace and becoming more powerful, I will see who still dares to intimidate you! ”

“This matter is still a secret now, my old father said to keep it for now so as not to create a crossroads, now only you know … Oh yeah, speaking of which, in these two years, I’ve heard a lot of bad rumors, all saying that the Situ City Lord would definitely cancel the marriage contract and promise Situ Xuan the son of the Xiao Clan Master, Xiao Yulong instead. ”

Yun Che: “…”

“When I heard about those rumors, I was angry and did not dare to speak about it. But by now, those rumors have dissipated.” Xia Yuanba had a smile on her face: “Those people who spread the rumors must have had their faces puffed up to the sky.”

“When the wind comes from an empty cave, there must be a reason for it.” Yun Che smiled seemingly spontaneously: “But never mind, I’ve long gotten used to all this. For a ruined man like me to have a friend like you, and marry the City Lord’s daughter, is already a gift from the heaven”.

“In comparison, your business is a great joy. The day you officially enter, I suppose the whole city …”

His voice suddenly turned shy and soulless, his face gradually distorted with pain, and his pupils quickly turned gray …

Then all of him fell back.

“Big brother? Ah! Big brother!” Xia Yuanba rushed forward in a panic, and lifted her fallen body: “Big brother? What’s wrong … big brother !!!”

His pupils were fading with each breath, the world was rapidly moving away, he could hear Xia Yuanba’s voice but he couldn’t answer

“Little Che? Little Che … Wake up, don’t scare me … Little Che !!”

The last thing he heard before his consciousness completely dissipated was Xiao Lingxi’s scream.

Beyond the scene, Yun Che looked at Xiao Lingxi hugging her red clothed body as she cried horribly.

Her tears soaked her red clothes, and the pain overflowed with despair …

So, the scene froze completely at this moment.

This was the same dream that had appeared before, the difference, again, was blurry and clear.

In his true memories, he had died the day he married Xia Qingyue.

In the dream, he had died on the day of his marriage to Situ Xuan.

Yun Che opened his eyes.

Light flooded his vision, and before his eyes, there was a familiar courtyard, and at the end of his nose, there was a familiar smell.

He woke up from his dream, but this time, everything in the dream was no longer fuzzy and hazy.

Every image, every face, every sound, he remembered clearly.
