What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 21

The Ten Thousand Souls Technique is the foundational technique of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall. It is also the supreme demonic art.

It manipulates ten thousand souls for one’s use. Devouring the heavens and shrouding the sun, its power is limitless!

But it also has drawbacks.

To make the ten thousand souls powerful, one must find souls with extreme resentment to refine.

Over time, when the resentment of the ten thousand souls accumulates to a terrifying level, it can easily affect the wielder’s mind, leading them to lose control and fall into madness.

Fifth Elder Song Wuren’s words reminded Yao Changning.

Zhu Diezhen’s sudden, unprovoked killing of the Great Elder Shang Buyi. This incident was very reminiscent of Zhu Xuanying two hundred years ago.

If the Great Elder could be killed, how much more vulnerable was he, Second Elder Yao Changning?

At this moment, a chill ran through Yao Changning’s heart.

The incident with Zhu Xuanying must not be allowed to happen again. Otherwise, who could guarantee that he wouldn’t be the next to die?

Yao Changning’s expression grew serious.

“Fifth Elder, are you suggesting that we should prepare for self-protection in advance?”

“Naturally, no one wants to die willingly. If someone insists on killing me, then I will naturally fight back!”

Song Wuren showed a sinister smile.

A resolute look flashed in Yao Changning’s eyes.

That’s right.

No one wants to die.

If anyone tries to force him to death, then he will find a way to kill that person.

Even if it means opposing Hall Master Zhu Diezhen!

……

Early the next morning.

Xie Muling urged the disciples of the Construction Hall to come to Wuzhi Peak and build a new bamboo house.

She even chose the location right next to her own bamboo house.

“Remember, all bamboo materials must be top-grade spiritual bamboo. The polishing must be meticulous. The furniture design must be reasonable. Most importantly, the speed must be fast; it must be finished today.”

Hearing this series of demands, the third senior brother of the Construction Hall, Gongshu Zhe, showed a troubled expression.

“Senior Sister Xie, this project is quite large. One day is too rushed, isn’t it?”

Xie Muling slightly raised her head.

A silver spear suddenly appeared in front of her.

Even at a distance of half a meter, Gongshu Zhe could clearly feel the coldness at the tip of the spear.

Xie Muling said calmly, “Remember, this place is Wuzhi Peak! I’m informing you, not negotiating.”

“Understood, it will definitely be completed today!”

Gongshu Zhe immediately nodded frantically.

Right, this was the most unique Wuzhi Peak of the Azure Cloud Sect. Both elders and disciples here were not to be provoked.

Why bother saying so much? Isn’t it just a day’s work? That’s enough!

Gongshu Zhe immediately started arranging for the work to be done.

With a thought, Xie Muling made the spear in front of her disappear.

At this moment, she was a completely different person from the one who faced Ye Yu yesterday.

No, to be precise, the current Xie Muling was the real Xie Muling. Cold as ice, aloof and distant.

The reason she was so warm to Ye Yu yesterday was because she felt there was an extremely pleasant aura on this person.

She couldn’t describe exactly what it was, but she found it very pleasant.

That’s why Xie Muling gave Ye Yu special “attention.”

She even had a hard time sleeping last night, regretting why she had let Ye Yu stay in the Senior Sister’s room.

Wouldn’t it have been better to let him stay in her own room? Then the whole room would have Ye Yu’s scent.

How wonderful would that be?

However, some things, once missed, cannot be undone.

To continue enjoying that scent, she arranged for Gongshu Zhe to place Ye Yu’s new bamboo house next to her own.

She even had two windows specially opened.

Just imagine.

Being able to smell that pleasant scent just by opening the window, it was incredibly convenient.

Thinking of this, Xie Muling’s eyes softened.

At the same time, Ye Yu had just stepped out of the bamboo house, stretching.

He immediately heard a voice from afar.

“Which peak’s disciple are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

Ye Yu turned his head to look.

He saw Elder Hongluan sitting on a tree branch, looking at him curiously.

It seems….she really drank too much yesterday. To the point that she had no recollection of him.

This made Ye Yu feel a bit sad.

But he still walked over and said softly, “Master, I am a disciple introduced by Senior Sister Wei Aoshu. You agreed to take me as your apprentice yesterday. This bamboo house was arranged for me by Senior Sister Xie Muling.”

Hongluan stared at Ye Yu for a long time.

Muttering to herself, “Why would I take on a disciple? And a male one at that? I really must have drunk too much!”

Although her voice was very soft, Ye Yu, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, could still hear her clearly.

A male disciple?

Is that so surprising?

Actually, considering there were only two disciples before—one Senior Sister and one Second Senior Sister—along with their master, Wuzhi Peak was entirely female.

Now, with his arrival, that dynamic had changed.

Hmm.

There shouldn’t be any inconvenience, right?

Unless the master and senior sisters have a peculiar habit of night running.

Ahem.

Most likely not.

In this day and age, when you can fly with a sword, who still runs?

Hongluan shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter. Since I’ve already accepted you as a disciple, where’s the apprentice ceremony gift? Hand it over!”

Hearing this, Ye Yu felt extremely embarrassed.

In these times, it’s usually the master who gives the apprentice ceremony gift to the disciple.

How did it get turned around at Wuzhi Peak?

Master Hongluan, are you serious?

Ye Yu looked at her with sincere eyes, hoping to awaken some sense of conscience in her.

But clearly, he failed.

So he could only speak the truth, “Master, I was an outer disciple before joining the sect and only became an inner disciple because of you. I really have nothing of value on me.”

This answer clearly didn’t satisfy Hongluan.

She looked very disappointed and took several large gulps of wine.

Sigh.

This sigh was really disheartening.

As the Azure Cloud Sect’s famously unlucky fairy, Hongluan always lost in everything, including gambling and competitions. Her main theme is to lose the world and lose yourself.

Winning was a feeling she truly didn’t know.

Yet she still loved to play.

Now, Wuzhi Peak was practically barren, devoid of any valuable possessions.

From the recent interaction, it seemed that the newly accepted disciple was also quite poor.

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Hongluan covered her face with one hand, feeling extremely melancholy.

But this emotion didn’t last long.

She quickly looked at Ye Yu with excitement.

“Anyway, since we’re idle, why not play a few rounds?”

“Uh, play what?” Ye Yu asked, puzzled.

Moments later, Hongluan discovered something amazing.

Ye Yu seemed to have a unique ability: he always won in gambling.

No matter the game, he could quickly master it.

And every time, he would utterly crush Hongluan.

It’s worth noting that although Hongluan always lost, her opponents usually won by a narrow margin.

But encountering someone like Ye Yu, who always drew the highest numbers every single time, was a first for her.

At this moment, Hongluan’s gaze towards Ye Yu changed.

Could it be that Wuzhi Peak is really about to produce a prodigy?
