White petals fluttered in the air, blending with the heavy snow.
Lin Jie opened his eyes and looked ahead. A silver-haired woman in a white veil stood there, her back graceful. She was still looking up at the towering tree.
Although the scenery around him was dreamy, he now understood that these were all fake things constructed by aether. As long as he wanted to, these things could be deconstructed and reconstructed at any time.
He pushed aside the flowers with familiarity and walked forward.
Bai Yin heard the movement and turned around, smiling at him. She wore a white crown of thorns in her hair and the iris flower Lin Jie had put on her hair when they first met.
No matter how many times he looked at this almost perfect face, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Lin Jie sighed in his heart, then walked to Bai Yin's side. With a thought, the floating flowers and snow gathered together to form a white wooden bench.
He sat down without hesitation and patted the empty space beside him.
Bai Yin smiled, lifted her skirt, and sat beside him naturally. She looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. "You're getting more and more familiar with the construction and transformation of dreams."
Lin Jie turned to look at Bai Yin, who was dressed like a queen, sitting elegantly on a park bench by the street. He had a subtle expression on his face. He felt like the reporter who "kidnapped" Princess Anne in Roman Holiday, pulling a fairy who didn't belong to the human world into the mortal world.
He coughed softly and said, "It's okay. I've already tried sinking dreams, entering and affecting reality. It feels … very strange."
Bai Yin asked, "When your dream overlaps with reality, it will cause space to fold, reflect, and distort. The people enveloped in the dream will change because of this. Their consciousness will be guided by your dream, just like a dream."
"A dream is still a dream. If your dream isn't very stable, the changes will be even greater. It's normal for it to be different from reality."
Lin Jie nodded thoughtfully. "I see."
This was similar to what he thought. He thought that the fantastical scenes he saw in the dream were because these people were forcibly pulled into the dream, so their subconscious began to let themselves go.
Now that he had Bai Yin's explanation, the situation was even clearer.
Who would have thought that all of them who had thick eyebrows and big eyes were actually chuunibyou?
This was the reason why Lin Jie looked at Yue Sefu and the others strangely when he woke up. However, he wouldn't laugh at them. After all, men were still young even in death. He understood.
As for Moen, there was no need to mention this child. He had long said that he wanted to become the moon and carry out justice.
The old beautiful female warrior was here.
Lin Jie looked up at the towering dragon tree and said, "One of my guests gave me a dragon heart, but …"
Bai Yin smiled. "In the end, you absorbed all the energy in the dragon's heart."
Lin Jie nodded. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Bai Yin knew about it, and it didn't seem to be a bad thing, it meant that the fruit and the tree she gave him back then were related to dragons … The so-called dragon fossils in this world weren't dinosaurs, but real dragons from myths!
As for Lin Jie, after eating the fruit, his body seemed to have been transformed. That was why he resonated with the dragon heart and directly sucked it dry.
Little Black, I was wrong about you!
Bai Yin glanced at him. At this moment, Lin Jie's aura in her vision was no different from that of a dragon. There was a touch of dark gold hidden in the depths of his dark eyes. His heartbeat was particularly obvious. He was constantly emitting a dignified aura, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.
If Lin Jie wanted to, it wasn't impossible for him to become a dragon directly.
And that dragon heart … was definitely not a coincidence.
All mysteries had their own direction.
Just like water flowing to a lower place, when one's mysteries reached a certain level, the other mysteries would be spontaneously attracted.
How interesting … Bai Yin tilted his head and looked at Lin Jie with interest.
Lin Jie didn't feel awkward being stared at. After all, he didn't lose anything from being stared at. He continued as if nothing had happened. "By the way, should I continue to expand the scale of the dream?"
Lin Jie took out the Human Skin Book and explained the ins and outs. "I want to separate some of the aether to learn magic. Can you teach me?"
Bai Yin blinked, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "You haven't finished learning swordsmanship yet. If you want to learn something else, where's your school fee?"
Lin Jie grunted and felt a little embarrassed. Her words made it seem as if he was half-hearted.
Biting off more than one could chew was indeed the truth. However, compared to swordsmanship, he was more interested in magic. After all, as a civilian, fighting and killing really didn't suit him.
Bai Yin's smile deepened. "How about you give me the ring on your finger?"
She had noticed the ring on Lin Jie's finger earlier.
It was a contract ring from Watts and the others. In other words, of the four Original Witches who had hidden in the dream, two had already formed a relationship with Lin Jie.
Lin Jie raised his hand, and the ring he had just put on also materialized in the dream. He tried to pull it out and found that it was a little loose in the dream. It seemed that he could take it off.
However, he hesitated for a moment, thinking of Moen who was still sulking. She seemed to like the ring very much and was even at odds with him because of it.
If he gave the ring to someone else without saying anything, Moen would be even angrier …
"Give me something else. This ring is very important."
Lin Jie looked at Bai Yin. The latter was not stubborn. Instead, she reached out and broke off an iris flower in front of the bench. She plucked the flower, leaving only the stem. Then, she deftly weaved a ring.
Bai Yin handed over the ring woven from the stem and smiled elegantly. "Then put on my ring too, and I'll teach you magic."
"…" Lin Jie felt that he had figured out from this smile that she wasn't afraid of making a big deal out of it.
However, just like when he was learning swordsmanship, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he would only gain and not lose.
Besides, he had already rejected her once. It would be unreasonable to reject her again.
"Okay."
Lin Jie reached out to take the ring, but Bai Yin directly put it on for him.
— —
"Moen" walked to the door of the boss's room. Her eyes flickered, and she pushed the door open and walked in.
If Lin Jie was awake, he would know that this Moen was definitely fake.
How could a girl with nothing have so many facial expressions?
In fact, this was Moen who was possessed by Wapu Jisi.
Because the power of the moon was recovered, Wapu Jisi's power also recovered. Finally, he didn't have to stay in the dream.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the dense flesh and blood in the room like a spider web. She showed a disgusted expression and muttered, "Bai Yin, this guy is still so arrogant. He doesn't even want to hide …"
Then she was stunned. She saw the iris flower growing out of the wall twisting like a vine and gently falling on Lin Jie's other hand, weaving a ring.
Wapu Jisi's eyes widened. He immediately realized that it was a transfer of the contract … Bai Yin, who was so arrogant that he didn't sign a contract with a human and didn't want to hide himself, actually took the initiative to transfer the contract to a human?!
