What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 82

【”Brother Yu,” the words made Ye Yu’s thoughts whirl.】

【It had been a long time since anyone called him that.】

【Turning around, he saw it was the long-absent Shi Aotian.】

【At this moment, although his appearance hadn’t changed, there was a hint less of innocence in his eyes.】

【Ye Yu punched Shi Aotian in the chest.】

【Laughing and scolding, You bastard, where have you been all these years?】

【Shi Aotian was pushed back by the blow, but he didn’t show any anger.】

【He only felt an immense sense of familiarity.】

【Calling out “Brother Yu” again, he then recounted his experiences over these years.】

【Over a hundred years ago, after Shi Aotian and Ye Yu killed the grandson of the former Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect, they faced a furious pursuit.】

【Although Ye Yu claimed they split up because their targets were too big, in reality, Shi Aotian knew very well it was because of his own inadequate strength.】

【Ye Yu was already at the peak of Divine Transformation realm.】

【At that time, Shi Aotian was only in the late stages of Nascent Soul.】

【Following Ye Yu around, he was nothing but a burden.】

【From that moment on, Shi Aotian felt the importance of strength for the first time.】

【So he found a place to seclude himself and cultivate, planning to quickly break through to Divine Transformation realm, then come out to assist Ye Yu.】

【But what Shi Aotian hadn’t expected was that after he broke through to the Divine Transformation realm in seclusion, everything had changed.】

【Ye Yu had killed the Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect and taken his place.】

【Transforming from an obscure wandering cultivator into the hottest figure in the East Sea Continent.】

【Such a huge change made Shi Aotian both happy for Ye Yu and deeply self-reproachful.】

【We promised to be brothers, sharing prosperity and adversity.】

【But at this critical moment, he was still like he was in his youth.】

【Ye Yu dealt with all the dangers himself, and only then did Shi Aotian timidly show up.】

【Shi Aotian didn’t want things to continue like this.】

【What he wanted was to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ye Yu in battle, to truly become a helpful brother.】

【Not someone who had to hide away whenever something happened.】

【So, Shi Aotian decisively ventured into the Southern Barbarian Continent to strive, planning to establish himself and then return to find Ye Yu.】

【As a result, this trip to the Southern Barbarian Continent wasn’t in vain at all.】

【There, Shi Aotian had an incredible encounter during his adventure.】

【His cultivation soared.】

【This gave him full confidence upon his return.】

【Pausing here, Shi Aotian’s lips curled slightly upwards:】

【Brother Yu, I’m now a mid-stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator. Pretty impressive, right? From now on, I’ll protect you.】

【Ye Yu smiled and nodded.】

【Shi Aotian continued, Brother Yu, what cultivation stage are you now? Why can’t I see through your cultivation? Could it be that you’re wearing some kind of concealment artifact?】

【Ye Yu calmly replied, I’m at the peak of Tribulation Crossing realm.】

【Just these few simple words struck Shi Aotian deeply once again.】

【At that moment, in the great hall, a certain man’s confidence shattered into pieces.】

【Pieces that couldn’t be pieced back together.】

【Shi Aotian began scratching his head frantically, pondering over what could possibly be wrong.】

【He and Ye Yu were born on the same day of extreme yin.】

【Calculating the years, they were both just over two hundred years old.】

【Under normal circumstances, at this age, one should be struggling between the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.】

【If you can reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you are already a genius in the eyes of others. 】

【Reaching the Divine Transformation realm would make one a dragon among men.】

【At over two hundred years old, to achieve the Tribulation Crossing realm, Shi Aotian had to admit, though not absolutely unprecedented, it was certainly a unique feat in a millennium.】

【This was why Shi Aotian felt so inflated.】

【However, the one who walked with dominance across the Southern Barbarian Continent, found himself unable to lift his head in front of Ye Yu.】

【Over two hundred years old and at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing realm, isn’t this pure bullying?】

【Is there any justice in this world? Is there any law?】

【Doesn’t anyone care?】

【Seeing Shi Aotian’s devastated appearance, Ye Yu couldn’t help but console him with a sentence.】

【Compared to others, you’re already very impressive!】

【This sentence instantly broke Shi Aotian’s defenses.】

【Was it praise, or was it mockery after all?】

【However, Shi Aotian was not a jealous person.】

【Today was just a failed attempt at showing off.】

【Anyway, in front of Ye Yu, he wasn’t afraid of losing face.】

【Then, he took out a storage ring from his arms, bluntly stating that this was a collection of gifts he had gathered for Ye Yu over these many years.】

【Most of the items on it came from the Southern Barbarian Continent.】

【Of course, there were also things from the East Sea Continent.】

【Many were from renowned cultivators, and one from a sect called Burning Blossom Pavilion.】

【It was said that the Pavilion Master of Burning Blossom Pavilion was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.】

【Originally, Shi Aotian had planned to snatch her back as a wife for Ye Yu.】

【But upon meeting her, he found out that the Pavilion Master was quite plain-looking.】

【All those claims about her beauty were just exaggerated by her subordinates.】

【Shi Aotian was instantly furious.】

【Wasn’t this false advertising?】

【He then made a few sarcastic remarks.】

【The Pavilion Master of Burning Blossom Pavilion was also quite sharp-tongued, and they immediately got into a heated argument.】

【It escalated to particularly dirty insults.】

【In a fit of rage, Shi Aotian slaughtered the entire Burning Blossom Pavilion.】

【Upon hearing this story, Ye Yu’s expression turned incredibly strange.】

【So, Shi Aotian was the rumored “fierce dragon crossing the river” from the Southern Barbarian Continent as others said?】

【This is too ridiculous.】

【Afterward, Ye Yu conveyed Lan Lianyan’s message to Shi Aotian and advised him to be more cautious recently.】

【Shi Aotian was utterly fearless, declaring his intention to wipe out these self-righteous orthodox sects.】

【A plan suddenly formed in Ye Yu’s mind.】

【He immediately arranged for Shi Aotian to leave Mystic Yin Sect, diverting the attention of various sects like Flower Spirit Mountain outside.】

【Ye Yu himself would go to the Northern Desolate Continent to find someone.】

【Upon his return, the two would join forces to eliminate these righteous sects.】

【Shi Aotian readily agreed.】

【In reality, the main reason Ye Yu wanted to go to the Northern Desolate Continent was the prophecy from the Celestial Secrets Sect.】

【It had been bothering him all along.】

【The demon has a nemesis, and the nemesis is in the North.】

【Ye Yu truly wanted to see who this nemesis was.】

【Before leaving, Ye Yu still went to the Treasure Pavilion to bid farewell to Lan Lianyan after much deliberation.】

【He claimed Mystic Yin Sect had arranged for him to explore a secret realm. He might be away for a while.】

【He wouldn’t be able to have dinner with her for a while.】

【Upon hearing this, Lan Lianyan was instantly saddened.】

【She urged Ye Yu to come back soon and to be careful in all things.】

【Ye Yu smiled faintly and tousled Lan Lianyan’s hair.】

【In his heart, he couldn’t help but think.】

【If she weren’t an undercover agent, and truly was a disciple of Mystic Yin Sect, how great would that be?】

【Lan Lianyan stepped back abruptly, stating she was Ye Yu’s senior. It was disrespectful to pat her head like that.】

【He would need to compensate with two roasted rabbits!】

【Ye Yu suddenly had black lines all over his head. 】

【He was about to leave, and she was using such a lame excuse to extort food? Indeed, a foodie’s heart knows no sorrow or joy, only food.】

【Ten days later.】

【Ye Yu traveled a long distance to arrive at the Northern Desolate Continent.】

【True to its name, the land here was desolate.】

【But before Ye Yu could begin his exploration here, he suddenly felt a palpitation.】

【Thunder echoed in the sky.】

【Was it the Heavenly Tribulation? Was it finally coming?】
