What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 22
On this day, Hongluan took Ye Yu away from Wuzhi Peak and began a spree across various locations in the Azure Cloud Sect.
Initially, when people from other peaks saw Hongluan bringing along her newly accepted disciple, they didnât pay much attention.
After all, what kind of decent disciple could a master who always lost at gambling possibly train?
Want to play with spirit stones? Letâs go all in!
But the result?
Ye Yu, leveraging the gambling reward he received from the Dream System, always won.
In less than a day, Hongluan had won a fortune.
Throughout the Azure Cloud Sect, Hongluanâs unrestrained laughter echoed.
For the first time in a thousand years, Hongluan felt such pride.
It wasnât until nightfall that she reluctantly brought Ye Yu back to Wuzhi Peak.
The reason was that Ye Yu had told her that his luck in gambling worsened at night.
He had to say so, otherwise, Hongluan might have kept him gambling until dawn.
Back on Wuzhi Peak.
âHahaha!!! My good disciple, you truly are my lucky star! Iâve never seen anyone as fortunate as you. Amazing! Follow me, and I promise youâll live a life of luxury!â
Hongluan hugged Ye Yuâs neck and looked up to the sky laughing.
She was finally able to hold her head high!
Ye Yu felt a tremendous pressure. No doubt, his masterâs weapons were incredibly strong, almost suffocatingly so.
However, Ye Yu didnât let this get to his head. Taking advantage of Hongluanâs good mood, he quickly said, âMaster, this is my second day under your tutelage. Shouldnât you start teaching me how to cultivate? Otherwise, if my strength is too weak, it will bring shame to you when we go out.â
Hongluan laughed teasingly and released Ye Yu. âWant to cultivate? No problem, Iâll give you a top-notch cultivation technique!â
âThank you, Master!â Ye Yu immediately bowed in gratitude.
Hongluan then retrieved an ancient book from her storage ring.
âSince Iâm in a good mood today, Iâll give this to you. The âQinglian Thunder Sword Art.'â
Hearing the name of this technique, Ye Yuâs expression became quite vivid.
What? The âQinglian Thunder Sword Artâ? Isnât this a technique only the elders of Azure Cloud Sect can cultivate?
Suddenly, he remembered that the fairy in the dream who had given him this technique back then seemed to be from the Azure Cloud Sect.
Ye Yu had already mastered this technique to the level of great achievement. However, his current strength was insufficient to fully utilize it.
Master, oh Master. Have you been drinking too much? This technique requires a late-stage Golden Core level to execute, and Iâm only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Itâs like giving me a dragon-slaying saber that I canât even lift.
Just as Ye Yu was about to speak, the âQinglian Thunder Sword Artâ was already thrust into his hands.
âAlright, donât be polite with your master. Get some rest, recharge your energy, and weâll continue our battles tomorrow. Good luck!â
After waving her hand, Hongluan transformed into a rainbow light and disappeared, not giving Ye Yu any chance to explain.
Looking at the âQinglian Thunder Sword Artâ in his hand, Ye Yu smiled wryly.
Well, itâs at least a token of my masterâs goodwill. I canât disappoint her.
Wait a minute. Why is one corner of the cover folded?
Upon closer inspection, he saw the character âTrueâ written there.
Putting it together, it should be the âTrue Qinglian Thunder Sword Art.â
Something felt off. In the dream, the technique given by the fairy was just the âQinglian Thunder Sword Art.â Moreover, the coverâs color looked different from this one.
Ye Yu tried to open it. After reading a few pages seriously, he suddenly became energized.
The content was different.
This technique was much more profound and intricate than the one he had been practicing. In comparison, the âQinglian Thunder Sword Artâ seemed like a pirated version, with poor quality and only the basic outline visible.
But this âTrue Qinglian Thunder Sword Artâ was the authentic version, clear and comprehensive. All the issues were laid out plainly.
It was more like an advanced version of the previous one. What Ye Yu had before was just a framework. With this technique, he could quickly refine and integrate it into the âTrue Qinglian Thunder Sword Art.â
Tsk tsk tsk.
It seems that todayâs efforts were not in vain after all.
Wait a minute. The previous âQinglian Thunder Sword Artâ was clearly an Earth-grade technique. So, wouldnât this âTrue Qinglian Thunder Sword Artâ be a Heaven-grade one?
Thinking of this, Ye Yuâs breathing became rapid.
Master, oh master, are you really this generous?
Since youâre so magnanimous, your disciple will naturally reciprocate. Tomorrow, Iâll make sure to help you soar again.
Ye Yu then carefully put the technique into his arms.
But unexpectedly, just as he looked up, a figure flashed before his eyes.
This surprised Ye Yu. What was that just now? It was gone in an instant. Could it be a big black rat?
âGongshu Zhe, how dare you raise the price on me? Have you lost your mind?â
A cold voice came from a distance.
On the other side, a man was sitting on the ground, clutching his abdomen. The intense pain contorted his face.
âSenior Sister Xie, let me explain. The unified pricing of the Construction Hall was increased ten years ago. You just didnât know. And I havenât even accounted for labor and overtime costs. Iâve really done my best.â
This man named Gongshu Zhe loudly defended himself to avoid further harm.
He had heard before that among the eighteen peculiarities of the Azure Cloud Sect, one was the poorest mountain, Wuzhi Peak.
Because of Hongluanâs gambling misfortune, Wuzhi Peak was known to be extremely poor. So, everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect knew not to mention spirit stones on Wuzhi Peak.
However, Gongshu Zhe believed that charging for his work was only fair. Leaving empty-handed was not the Construction Hallâs style.
But the next second, a white figure approached from afar and stood in front of Gongshu Zhe, speaking coldly, âI donât understand all this talk about price increases. Since you say youâve done your best, then letâs go with the price from ten years ago, with a little discount. Two spirit stones! Take it or leave it. If you donât want it, get lost!â
This icy voice, coupled with eyes ready to kill at any moment, was quite intimidating.
This gave Ye Yu a new understanding of his senior sister. It was completely different from her politeness yesterday.
But why did he always feel like this was the real Xie Muling?
And what exactly were they talking about with the price increase?
Gongshu Zhe, a dignified man of seven feet, also instantly became red-eyed.
âTwo spirit stones? Fellow Taoist, tell me, where can you still find such a cheap price to build a bamboo pavilion nowadays?â
Upon hearing this, Xie Muling finally noticed Ye Yu not far away, looking at him with a shocked expression.
Her aggressive momentum diminished by two notches.
âJunior brother, the bamboo pavilion has already been built for you. Go back and rest first. Iâll negotiate with him.â
Negotiate?
Is this what you call negotiation?
Clearly, itâs bargaining with a life!
Gongshu Zhe stood up angrily.@@novelbin@@
Today, he admitted defeat.
If he continued to argue, he might end up spending more than just this amount on medical bills.
So he said in a low voice, âTwo spirit stones it is, I agree!â
Xie Muling slightly turned her head in his direction.
âWhy raise your voice like that? Trying to scare my junior brother?â
At this moment, Gongshu Zhe felt an overwhelming intent to kill from Xie Muling.
He was going to die.
Really going to die!
