What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

This day, two major events occurred within the city of Ugly Sun in the Underworld.

First, on the 220th birthday of the legitimate daughter of the Xin family, Xin Wan'en, a total of seventeen Nine Nether Fiend Fish, worth ten thousand Underworld Stones, were roasted by a nameless ghost officer's son.

Second, not only did Xin Wan'en not blame this eight-year-old ghost officer's son, but she even, for the first time in history, accepted him as her disciple.

The news spread, causing a tremendous stir in the entire Ugly Sun City.

The legendary Nine Nether Fiend Fish was actually roasted and eaten?

Moreover, the person who roasted the fish became Xin Wan'en's disciple?

These two events sounded incredibly sensational.

Who is Xin Wan'en?

She is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Xin family, a mid-stage Tribulation Realm ghost, bearing the immense fortune of the Xin family!

She is hailed as the most promising genius in the Xin family's history, expected to ascend to the Immortal Realm before the age of three hundred and become a Ghost Immortal.

Even the ancestor of the Xin family personally declared that Xin Wan'en's future achievements would surpass their own.

Almost everyone believed that once Xin Wan'en broke through to become a Ghost Immortal, she would become the new leader of the Xin family.

Such a legendary figure personally accepted the son of a ghost officer as her disciple?

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Many ghosts even expressed that had they known this would happen, they would have risked their lives during the banquet to catch a few Nine Nether Fiend Fish to roast.

Who knows, they might have also become Xin Wan'en's disciple, soaring to success in one fell swoop!

The repercussions of this matter were huge.

Upon hearing the news, the city lord of Ugly Sun City immediately met with Ye Chuan and promoted him to the leader of the ghost officers.

He also expressed his intention to have frequent interactions with him in the future.

The reason behind these actions was obvious to everyone.

Not only did the city lord show favor, but even distant relatives and old friends who hadn't contacted Ye Chuan in a long time had become warmer.

During the banquet, those dining at the same table as Ye Yu and Ye Chuan also expressed that they had never met such a spiritually gifted eight-year-old ghost child.

Eating with him truly felt like an unforgettable experience. Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.

Undoubtedly, these gestures were all based on the belief that Ye Yu, this child, would soar to great heights in the future.

Even if his talent wasn't exceptional, it didn't matter.

With a powerful master like Xin Wan'en backing him, wouldn't he be able to walk unimpeded in the small city of Ugly Sun in the future?

But what they didn't know was that by the next day, Ye Yu was still in a daze.

How did he end up becoming a disciple so blindly?

He had just roasted a few fish and ate them, so why did it have to go this far?

Before Ye Yu could refuse, Ye Chuan had already agreed on his behalf.

The worst part was, the system even confirmed the agreement, declaring that Xin Wan'en had indeed become his master, and this decision could not be changed.

It was truly a disaster!

That evening, Ye Yu was at home, scratching his head in frustration, lamenting how fate was playing tricks on him, and how unfair life seemed.

Ye Chuan, smelling of alcohol, returned home. The past couple of days had felt like a dream for him.

He immediately took Ye Yu's hand and declared, "Our Ye family is really about to soar. As long as you follow your master's teachings, your future is limitless!"

Ye Yu had no idea about Xin Wan'en's legendary achievements and thought she was just a person of noble status.

He bluntly expressed that she wasn't his ideal choice for a master.

Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh, then proceeded to recount Xin Wan'en's legendary speed of cultivation.

Ye Yu's expression softened a little, but only a little.

So what if a 200-plus-year-old Tribulation Realm cultivator is impressive?

He himself had ascended at over twenty.

What was there to be proud of?

Besides, in the Heavenly Realm, he had seen countless talented Immortals.

A 200-year-old Tribulation Realm cultivator was indeed good, but that was all it was—good, not extraordinary.

Moreover, even if Xin Wan'en had a smooth journey ahead, perhaps the peak would only be reached at the Heavenly Ghost Realm.

In Ye Yu's mind, his ideal master would be someone at the Ghost King Realm or even higher. Only then would it be a true ascent.

However, the ship had already sailed. It was too late to say anything now.

He would just have to make do for now.

At worst, he could work harder on his own later.

He hoped to reach a higher realm in his dreams.

At nine years old, Ye Yu was already on the brink of a breakdown.

After several interactions, he had figured everything out.

The only reason Xin Wan'en accepted him as a disciple was because of his superb fish roasting skills.

Later, under the guise of teaching him, she had him make gourmet meals for ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) her every day.

This really discouraged Ye Yu.

He kept reminding Xin Wan'en not to be so greedy and to focus on her cultivation, striving to break through to higher realms, which was the real goal.

But Xin Wan'en, with a serious expression, told Ye Yu that she had hit a bottleneck and had been stuck in the mid-stage Tribulation Realm for two years now.

Up to this point, there had been no signs of a breakthrough.

On top of that, the expectations of her entire family were so high, she felt a lot of pressure.

But it was okay. She was fully capable of teaching Ye Yu.

If he wanted to cultivate a specific method, she could help guide him.

Ye Yu scratched his head again in frustration.

What bottleneck? What nonsense? Could there even be such a thing in the Tribulation Realm?

He didn't want to say it, but Xin Wan'en's situation resembled that of Ji Lingqing in the early stages.

Both were burdened with too many family expectations, leading to tremendous psychological pressure.

This could drag a person down!

To resolve this, it wasn't just about psychological counseling, but also a breakthrough to restore confidence.

Otherwise, just like Ji Lingqing, if there were no breakthroughs for a thousand years, wouldn't Ye Yu be worn out as well?

In hopes of making his master become a dragon, Ye Yu, intentionally or not, began to share his insights with Xin Wan'en.

Pressure must be discarded as soon as possible.

Cultivation was like writing a fantasy novel—forget about structure, foreshadowing, and tension.

Just take the pen and write!

Master, you should do the same—practice the technique and go into closed-door meditation.

The bottleneck would naturally break through.

If not, then go out and fight ghosts of the same level or even higher.

Find a breakthrough opportunity at the edge of life and death.

Being over 200 years old and still not ascending was already too late. Don't drag it out.

Otherwise, every step would be slower than the last.

Seeing Ye Yu's serious expression, Xin Wan'en couldn't help but smile and reminded him to spend less time reading novels and focus more on cultivation.

"You don't understand how hard the Tribulation Realm is."

Ye Yu cupped his face in his hands.

"Don't understand? I understand everything."

At ten years old, Ye Yu still hadn't learned any techniques and was still in the Qi Refining Realm.

That year, someone from the Chu family of Xianyin City came and proposed the arranged marriage that had been set ten years ago—to marry Xin Wan'en.

After receiving an irresistible dowry, the Xin family's ancestor agreed to the proposal.

It was only then that Xin Wan'en found out about her betrothal.

And Ye Yu felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Was his master really about to marry someone like this?
