The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

But there are some places where they have never been, yet the dazed little wild grass finds inexplicably interesting, so they linger there.

Li Muyang can feel that as they revisit more and more familiar places, the light in Zhi Wei's eyes shines longer and longer.

When they reached the shores of a large lake in the north, Li Muyang bought a small boat and sailed with Zhi Wei on the lake.

At dawn, the lake surface was shrouded in misty rain, and the distant mountains and waters looked like a beautiful painting in the haze.

Here, ten thousand years ago, was once a Dragon Palace of a true dragon, and Li Muyang almost got married to a mad Dragon Girl in this Dragon Palace.

It was all thanks to Zhi Wei arriving in time to rescue him, snatching Li Muyang back from the possessive mad Dragon Girl.

Now, revisiting the old place, the Dragon Palace is long gone, and the true dragon and Dragon Girl of those days have all perished in the catastrophe of the world.

The little wild grass silently watched the misty lake, suddenly her eyes flickered, and she murmured.

"...Brother."

She suddenly leapt off the boat, diving into the water like a nimble fish.

Li Muyang was startled and quickly followed her.

Soon, they arrived at an underwater area that was flat and vast, rich with aquatic plants.

This was once the location of the Dragon Palace, now only scattered ruins remain among the water plants.

Zhi Wei stared blankly at all this, then suddenly turned her head to look at Li Muyang beside her.

"...Where has my brother gone?"

The little wild grass seemed to be talking to herself or asking Li Muyang.

In the end, she closed her eyes and fainted.

This sudden anomaly startled Li Muyang.

He quickly went forward to check, only to find that Zhi Wei's breath was normal, and her soul was extremely stable.

It seemed she was just asleep.

But Li Muyang waited by the lake for ten days and nights, witnessing ten sunrises and sunsets, yet he still couldn't wait for Zhi Wei to awaken.

She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, no matter how Li Muyang called her, he couldn't wake her up.

Li Muyang carried Zhi Wei to the Ancient Grievance Well, seeking out Miao Fengjun.

Over the years, Miao Fengjun had been holed up in the Ancient Grievance Well, conducting research, even capturing the vengeful ghost that had escaped back then.

Now that vengeful ghost was filled with Evil Qi, going mad upon seeing Li Muyang, wanting to rush out and kill him. But it was sealed underground by Miao Fengjun's array, unable to break through the barrier.

Miao Fengjun inspected the little wild grass's condition and pondered for a long time before finally saying,

"She has fallen into a dream..."

"It seems Fairy Qinghe's method to awaken her own soul is to weave a dream for herself. She will experience long years in the dream, using simulated fake years to nourish and awaken her soul, which has slumbered stiffly for ten thousand years."

Miao Fengjun explained, seeing that Li Muyang did not quite understand.

He thought for a moment, then used a simpler analogy.

"In short, her broken soul has slept for too long and accumulated a lot of dust."

"So now she needs to clean off this dust to wake up."

"And the way to clean off the dust is to live in a dream that seems real, simulating a long span of time."

Miao Fengjun explained the general principle.

Li Muyang finally understood.

But for this reason, he frowned: "But what if this dream deceives even her? When will she awaken? Won't she remain trapped in the dream forever?"

Li Muyang was no longer a novice in cultivation and had developed his own understanding of many cultivation techniques and the Divine Soul Path.

After Miao Fengjun explained, he immediately caught on to the potential danger of this method.

A vivid dream that could deceive even oneself, if undisturbed by external forces, might leave the little wild grass submerged in this beautiful dream, unwilling to wake up.

Miao Fengjun chuckled and nodded, "This is precisely Fairy Qinghe's ingenious design."

"You traveled with her for so long, only to trigger her self-awakening at a place of shared memories."

"Clearly, she had already chosen the person to awaken her, and that person is you. Only with you by her side can this self-awakening ceremony be triggered."

Miao Fengjun said, "Next, you must find someone you trust, with sufficient cultivation level, to act as your protector and send your soul into Fairy Qinghe's dream."

"You will awaken her in the dream, and the person acting as your protector will pull your soul and consciousness back to the human world."

"Considering Fairy Qinghe's soul cultivation, the protector you find must be at least at the Immortal level."

"Otherwise, they won't be able to pull you back!"

After Miao Fengjun finished speaking, he noticed Li Muyang staring at him.

This fellow immediately waved his hand: "Don't look at me, I can't help with this."

"My research is at a critical stage and can't be stopped."

"Once you start awakening Fairy Qinghe, it might take as short as three to five years, or as long as a decade."

"I don't have the time to assist you for over a decade."

Miao Fengjun waved his hand repeatedly: "You'd better seek someone else with more wisdom."

"By the way, isn't that Dragon Goddess in the North also at the Immortal level now? Go find her, she's surely willing to help."

"Moreover, she has a thriving incense fire among humans, supported by a vast amount of Incense Fire Vow Power. With her aiding you as a protector, it's absolutely a sure thing."

Dragon Goddess...

Hearing Miao Fengjun's recommendation for this candidate, Li Muyang was a bit surprised.

He knew that after the apocalyptic war, the Dragon Girl's incense belief spread to the southern part of the Tianyuan Continent, reaching not only the former Central Plains but also the southern hemisphere ruled by the Lu Dynasty, where many Dragon God Temples stood.

Li Muyang also met with the Dragon Girl a few times during his travels.

But he never expected that this Dragon Girl had quietly attained the path of immortality…

In a Dharma-Ending Age where Spiritual Energy was depleted, achieving immortality indeed seemed closely related to her Incense Fire Divine Path.

Li Muyang headed north and soon met the Dragon Girl in the Dragon Palace.

At this time, the Dragon Girl had almost become a recluse who didn't leave the Dragon Palace.

She constantly listened to the prayers of her followers, busily handling one wish after another.

Although her divine generals and soldiers under her command shared the burden, she remained very busy.

Seeing Li Muyang arrive, the Dragon Girl was very delighted.

After hearing Li Muyang's request, she agreed without any hesitation.

Soon, the Dragon Girl handed over her tasks, temporarily withdrawing herself.

She and Li Muyang came to a secluded Spirit Vein where Spiritual Energy lingered, beginning the awakening process.

Under the escort of the Dragon Girl, Li Muyang's Primordial Spirit exited, entering the dream world of the unconscious Little Wild Grass.

This would be a long search; he needed to find Little Wild Grass in the vast dream world and wake her up.

No one knew what identity Little Wild Grass held in the dream…

Li Muyang opened his eyes and saw a crimson bridal sedan, hearing joyful sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers.

At the bustling gate, Li Muyang was shocked by everything in front of him, realizing he was dressed in a scarlet wedding robe with flowers in his hair, appearing to be a groom.

This sudden situation left Li Muyang dumbfounded.

"What's going on? I became a groom?!"

Li Muyang tried to leave but found that after entering the dream, he lost all his cultivation, seeming to revert to a mortal.

He was involuntarily pushed into the main hall by the crowd, bowing to heaven and earth with the bride and entering the bridal chamber, finally reaching the moment to unveil the veil in a daze.

The wedding room, now quiet and empty, was filled with a faint scent of incense in the air.

Li Muyang hesitated, not daring to lift the veil, instead wanting to find a way out.

But the bride, sitting upright on the bridal bed, lifted her fair hand and unveiled the red veil herself.

Under the warm candlelight appeared a smiling pretty face, with a slight playful meaning.

"Brother, we've finally gotten married..."

Seeing Little Wild Grass's face left Li Muyang dumbfounded.

"Huh?!"

This dead girl is the bride?!

You little rascal, what kind of crazy dream are you having!

...

Three years later, Li Muyang opened his eyes weakly, seeing the Dragon Girl who had protected him for three years.

Seeing Li Muyang awake, the Dragon Girl was full of joy.

"Succeeded?"

Li Muyang, with a peculiar expression, glanced at Little Wild Grass beside him and said, "Succeeded."

In the real world, three years had passed, but in the dream, he had gone through ten lifetimes! Ten cycles of reincarnation!

Almost the content of each life was astonishingly similar.

Falling in love, getting married, then having children... Li Muyang spent ten cycles of reincarnation to finally awaken the girl who refused to wake up from her sweet dream.

Now the once-sleeping Little Wild Grass also finally opened her eyes.

After sitting up straight, she first looked at the Dragon Girl beside her, then at her glaring brother.

A blush appeared on the face of Fairy Qinghe.

"Bro... Brother..."

Fairy Qinghe's tone was a bit weak.

Li Muyang glared at her, both angry and amused, and said, "You like dreaming, don't you?"

"Let's go! I'll take you home!"

"Let your dreams come true!"

...
