Chapter 484
If this matter gets out, what will happen to the little tyrant of the Divine Hammer, who has finally managed to change his ways?
He couldn't even bear to think about it!
At the very least, he had to wait for the mischievous Chui Bao to calm down a bit...
Li Mo looked up, glancing at the long legs wrapped in black and white. The Ice Chunk had closed her eyes at some point, her sleeping face serene and beautiful. The moonlight painted her increasingly delicate figure, and he couldn't tell if she was truly asleep.
"Ice Chunk?"
"....."
Li Mo poked at the bend of her leg, only to find her lightly furrowing her brows, as if she wasn't pretending to be asleep. After all, when he accidentally stepped on Chui Bao, her toes had relaxed instead of tensing up.
Who could remain calm in this situation?
Anyway, Little Li felt he couldn't keep his cool. The fact that he hadn't lost his mind was already a testament to his virtue.
.....
"Little Bing'er has fallen asleep."
Amidst the many gaps in dreams, Qin Yuzhi stood with her hands on her hips, her face beaming with pride.
"Truly worthy of the Master, even Little Bing'er can be unknowingly drawn into a dream."
Shang Qinqing gave a thumbs up.
No wonder the former high-ranking members of the Calling God Sect and the powerful figures of the Dayu Dynasty were reluctant to let her break free from her seal.
Dreams represent the deepest subconscious of one's spirit; sometimes, even one cannot fully control what kind of dreams they will have.
This meant that many secrets and matters hidden deep within the spirit, even those the dreamer might not be aware of after dreaming, would be known to Qin Yuzhi.
And it wasn't just about entering dreams...
"After all, Little Bing'er is at the third realm; entering her dream and pulling her into a dream isn't too difficult."
Qin Yuzhi said, a serious expression crossing her face:
"Her spirit is quite special; the real challenge is weaving dreams for her."
"I've heard that weaving dreams can even change a person's memories to some extent?"
Shang Qinqing stroked her chin, asking, as she had never witnessed the prosperous days of the Dream Weavers of Yunmeng Hall and was only familiar with it through hearsay.
"That is indeed possible, but the risks are extremely high, and it was later banned."
"Alright then."
Upon hearing there were risks involved, Shang Qinqing nodded, somewhat disappointed.
"By the way, where should we start weaving?" Qin Yuzhi asked.
"Let's start from the last chapter of the painting book."
"Are we bringing Li Mo in now?"
"I just tried, but for some reason, he seems a bit too excited. We need to take it slow and let it happen naturally."
....
The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow across the sky.
"I feel like I had a really long dream..."
Ying Bing slowly woke up, catching the scent of firecrackers in the air.
She had dreamt of a long journey, where she had almost succeeded in her ascension, only to be reborn in the Ziyang Mansion.
In her dream, she experienced many things she had never encountered in this world.
What left the deepest impression on her...
"He..."
Ying Bing opened her eyes, momentarily stunned.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a sea of festive red. Sunlight streamed through the window of the bridal sedan, casting the outline of the character "喜" (xi, meaning happiness) onto the tea table, illuminating her in her phoenix crown and bridal gown.
Am I getting married?
Ying Bing's mirror-like Danfeng eyes narrowed, sensing something was off.
In the Gui Palace, even the doormen were not allowed to fall in love.
She, the master of the Gui Palace, getting married?
That seemed like a contradiction in terms.
Buzz—
The dream's ethereal barrier rippled, as if signaling an impending shift.
"Master, why did you fall asleep just now?"
"Turns out you were talking in your sleep, even mentioning your junior brother."
Two voices suddenly rang in her ears.
Ying Bing turned to see her two closest disciples.
They were both dressed in the attire of Gui Palace disciples; one had panda-like dark circles under her eyes and a round face, while the other had striking features and was busy cracking sunflower seeds.
It's Xiao Qin and Xiao Qing!
Qin Yuzhi gave Shang Qinqing a knowing glance, urging her to divert Little Bing'er's attention.
Only then did Shang Qinqing snap out of her daze, having been mesmerized by the beauty of the Ice Chunk.
Goodness, if Little Bing'er grows up a couple more years and sheds her youthful innocence, it would be downright unfair.
If she weren't already an extraordinary powerhouse, she might just become a calamity that disrupts the world...
"Master, are you daydreaming?" Shang Qinqing wiped her drool.
"I just had a dream."
Ying Bing shook her head, her tone dazed.
"Ahem, it seems you were too excited; you rarely sleep so soundly."
Qin Yuzhi said with a smile.
The rules of dream weaving dictate that one should avoid mentioning the word "dream" in front of the dream's host, as it can easily lead to two outcomes.
The first is the collapse of the dream, plunging into a deeper layer of dreams within dreams; the second is that the dreamer realizes it's a dream and wakes up.
"That dream felt too real..."
Ying Bing lowered her gaze, instinctively reaching for her waist.
After feeling nothing there, she paused, puzzled as to why she made that gesture.
It seemed she was missing something very important, yet she couldn't quite articulate why she felt a sense of loss.
Lost in thought, the barrier of the dream began to ripple again.
Qin Yuzhi quickly interjected, "You're about to get married; no dream, no matter how beautiful, can compare to today's joyous occasion."
"Right! You're marrying Junior Brother Li today!"
Shang Qinqing's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Why are you so happy about my marriage..."
Ying Bing tilted her head slightly, her mind clearing, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
Yes, she was getting married today.
Once the master of the Gui Palace, at the pinnacle of her power, she had lived in seclusion, pursuing the path of martial arts and viewing earthly love as fleeting.
Until she passed by the Ziyang Mansion and met that boy whose fate was strangely similar to hers.
On a whim, she made an exception and allowed Li Mo to enter the walls of the Gui Palace.
Later, when he confessed to her, they spent many days secluded in the back mountain, and even when he nearly froze to death, he wouldn't back down. She reluctantly pretended to be his girlfriend, initially intending to steer him away from the wrong path.
But instead, she found herself drawn deeper into it, turning from fake to real.
In the end, it became difficult to back out without getting married, and facing the rumors, she was resolute...
That's right, it all made sense.
The feeling of loss evaporated like mist.
The barrier of the dream suddenly solidified, no longer rippling but as strong as iron.
Qin Yuzhi: "....."
She had just been brainstorming.
After all, Little Bing'er's steadfastness and the strength of her spirit were unparalleled in her experience.
She never expected that upon realizing who she was marrying, Little Bing'er would swiftly come to terms with it.
Shang Qinqing: "...... Hehe."
"Xiao Qing, why are you suddenly laughing so... strangely?"
"Just a bit cheeky," Qin Yuzhi coughed lightly.
Hey, don’t say it; it really is a bit intoxicating...

**Chapter 543: Entering the Bridal Chamber?!**
The process of bringing Li Mo into the dream was exceptionally challenging. For someone as fiery as him to fall asleep was no easy feat, and Qin Yuzhi had expended considerable effort.
He stood there, bewildered, in front of the festively decorated palace in the snowy mountains, surrounded by unfamiliar joy and guests coming and going.
"How did I end up here?"
Li Mo glanced at the large red flower pinned to his chest, questioning his existence.
He dreamt that he had crossed over, from Blue Star to a place called Jiutian Shidi.
What a joke; how could something like crossing over happen to me? This must be a dream...
The good news was, it was indeed a dream.
The bad news was, when he woke up, he found that he had actually crossed over, and it had happened a long time ago.
A classic orphan's beginning, and even more classically, at the brink of life and death, he was picked up by an unparalleled powerhouse and brought into the palace.
After practicing martial arts for two and a half years, he, Little Li, was finally ready to set out!
Because...
"So this is the groom of the master of the Gui Palace?"
"Damn it, I hate this."
"What do you have to be upset about? They are a perfect match, a natural pair; who are you, a monster, to oppose them?"
"I wish I could take his place!"
"...... True."
"The Phoenix Empress stands apart from the world, looking down on all beings, yet she chooses this kid? What could she possibly see in him?! I just don't get it!"
The guests' discussions were endless.
Little Li himself couldn't make sense of it either.
Yeah, he wouldn't even dare to dream of something so beautiful. There must be something wrong; it all felt a bit unreasonable...
"Here comes the bride!"
Suddenly, a shout interrupted his thoughts.
Since the wedding was taking place in the Gui Palace, it was a normal marriage, but given that they had once been master and disciple, even the wedding was held in the Gui Palace.
However, in name, it wasn't exactly a case of marrying into the family.
The groom's procession was merely a formality.
