Chapter 127: Reality Is Sometimes More Exaggerated Than Dreams

Su Su Mengyao didn't know how long she had slept; when she opened her eyes in a daze, the first thing that came into view was a crystal chandelier, and she was lying on a soft leather sofa, covered with a thin blanket.

"Sister Su Mengyao, you're awake?"

After seeing Su Su Mengyao open her eyes, Lin Miao said that first, then brought a cup of steaming honey water from the kitchen.

Su Su Mengyao propped herself up into a sitting position and rubbed her temples.

"Did I fall asleep?"

She looked around; Ye Xuan's villa living room was unusually quiet. Had he already gone out?

However, if Ye Xuan wasn't here, why was Lin Miao here?

Su Su Mengyao shook her head, paid no mind to it, simply took the honey water from Lin Miao's hand, and said with a bitter smile:

"I just had an especially absurd dream. I dreamed that Ye Xuan not only made the Changhong Sword recognize him as its master, but also the Dragon-Slaying Sword from the Zhenxian world, the Insect Gear of Kamen Rider Kabuto, and the most ridiculous thing of all, that Little Qilin from the Hongmao Lan Tu world."

"Such a fake dream, I don't even know how I dreamed it up."

"Although Ye Xuan has obtained quite a few treasures from the myriad heavens, this dream is simply too exaggerated."

"It's one thing for the Changhong Sword to recognize him as master; what was said in the dream made sense too. He is the master of the Flame Dragon Armor, so it's normal for the Changhong Sword to recognize him as its master."

"But the Dragon-Slaying Sword from the Zhenxian world? The Kabuto Insect Gear? And that Little Qilin from the Hongmao Lan Tu world?"

"Ye Xuan is just one person; how could he possibly obtain so many treasures from the myriad heavens?"

Listening to Su Su Mengyao's complaints, Lin Miao's expression became very strange:

"That... Sister Su Mengyao..."

"Wu~"

A childish whimper came from behind the sofa.

Su Su Mengyao stiffly turned her head and came face to face with a pair of wet, big eyes; a small Little Little Qilin with two horns on its head was tilting its head to look at her, with half a cucumber still in its mouth.

Su Su Mengyao: "..."

She silently put down the honey water, gently lay back on the sofa, and pulled the blanket over her head.

"I haven't woken up yet."

A muffled voice came from under the blanket.

"I must still be dreaming."

What's more exaggerated than having an exaggerated dream is that this damn thing isn't a dream; it's real!

Su Su Mengyao suddenly threw off the blanket, startling the small Little Little Qilin so much that the cucumber in its mouth fell to the ground; she stared straight at Lin Miao, her voice somewhat solemn:

"Do you know that Ye Xuan has the Dragon-Slaying Sword, the Kabuto Insect Gear, and the Little Little Qilin?"

Lin Miao was stunned by her sudden momentum and instinctively sat up straight.

"I know about the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Kabuto Insect Gear, but I only saw the Little Little Qilin when it came today."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the small Little Little Qilin picking up the cucumber from the ground and stuffing it back into its mouth, and couldn't help adding:

"Brother Ye said this little fellow ran over on its own last night and is especially greedy; I just made a meal for three people for it, and it's actually eating cucumbers."

Su Su Mengyao's temples throbbed; she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reached for her space ring, finding the Mammoth Fruit still lying there safely.

"So... why haven't you told me any of this?"

She took a deep breath and said somewhat helplessly.

"Is there a need to say these things?"

"I thought Sister Su Mengyao you already knew."

Lin Miao said with some confusion; she truly thought Su Su Mengyao knew these things.

Because Ye Xuan had never hidden these things at all, and Su Su Mengyao came every month to deliver spiritual energy potions and other cultivation resources to Ye Xuan, so she thought Su Su Mengyao knew.

"..."

Should I have known?

Su Su Mengyao fell back onto the sofa again, pulled the blanket over her head, and stared blankly with lifeless eyes.

So Ye Xuan never hid anything; it was just that she herself never asked and never thought in that direction?

"Ding ling ling"

Just then, Su Su Mengyao's phone rang; she mechanically took out her phone and pressed the answer button without even looking.

"Hello?"

"Has the Mammoth Fruit transaction been completed? The Director of the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau sent you twenty messages and made thirteen calls! Do you know he now suspects you fled with the fruit?"

Wang Shuguo's voice came from the other end of the phone; judging solely from the tone, one could see his current mood.

Let alone the Director of the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau, he sent her so many messages, and Su Mengyao hadn't replied to a single one.

If he hadn't had people from the Tianshu Bureau contact Su Mengyao's driver to confirm she was still at Ye Xuan's villa, he would have been wondering if Su Mengyao had been hit by a car on her way back to the Tianshu Bureau.

Su Su Mengyao jolted, finally noticing the time displayed on her phone—3:27 PM; she had arrived at Ye Xuan's house at 8 AM this morning, which meant...

But it didn't matter.

"I know, I'll contact him immediately."

"You don't know what I saw; if you knew..."

As Su Mengyao spoke, she even sighed; Wang Shuguo on the other end of the phone was clearly intrigued:

"Saw what? Explain yourself clearly..."

"Beep—"

Su Su Mengyao decisively hung up the phone and threw her phone onto the sofa; she could imagine Wang Shuguo clenching his fists right now, wishing he could give her two punches, but she really had no mood to explain.

Did she have to tell him she had been scared unconscious by Ye Xuan's pile of treasures from the myriad heavens and slept for nearly seven hours?

"Sister Su Mengyao..."

Lin Miao looked at her, wanting to speak but holding back.

Although knowing Su Su Mengyao's current state didn't seem very good, was it really okay to speak to the Director of the Imperial Capital Heaven-Void Bureau like this?

"It's fine."

"Right now, I'm just picking any one piece of information I saw today to tell him; he won't get angry."

Su Su Mengyao waved her hand.

The Changhong Sword has acknowledged its master and confirmed the inheritance of the Seven Sword Masters within it: the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Zhubao Sword from the Zhubao World, the Insect Armor of Kamen Rider Kabuto, and the Little Little Qilin from the Hongmao and Lan Tu World.

Whichever of these pieces of information she told Wang Wang Shouguo, he wouldn't get angry; instead, he would praise her for going to Ye Xuan's house correctly this time, staying long, and staying well.

He certainly wouldn't think that Ye Xuan hadn't hidden any of this information from her, and would instead assume Su Su Mengyao had worked hard to pry it out of Ye Xuan.

The Little Little Qilin curiously leaned over, picked up her phone with its mouth, and tried to run, but Lin Miao, quick-eyed and quick-handed, stopped it, then tapped its head and gave it her own phone.

"You've already watched for an hour today; you can watch for at most one more hour."

"Otherwise, it's bad for your eyes."

"If you don't listen, when Ye Xuan returns, I'll tell Ye Xuan."

"Do you understand?"

Lin Miao touched the Little Little Qilin's head with her index finger and spoke to it.

"Sob sob sob~"

The Little Little Qilin was still somewhat unwilling upon hearing the first part, but when it heard Lin Miao say she would tell Ye Xuan, it leaned over again, rubbed its head against Lin Miao's hand to show goodwill, and asked her not to tell Ye Xuan about the phone-watching.

"."

When people watch phones for too long, their eyes get bad; does the same apply to Little Qilin?

But why is this Little Qilin so special to Ye Xuan?

Is it because of the Changhong Sword?

Or is it that you, fellow, also belong to Fire, so you are suppressed by the Flame Dragon Armor?
