Chapter 1733: Failure! The Second Life Dream!

Only to see Ye Li carrying a schoolbag, walking out of the school gate alone.

She didn't walk together with classmates, but instead headed in a certain direction.

Her steps were light, yet carried a kind of coldness that kept people a thousand miles away.

"Didn't expect Senior Sister to be this solitary a personality even inside a dream."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but smile faintly.

Immediately hugging the little black cat, he followed unobtrusively.

Passing through several streets, the surrounding buildings gradually became more upscale.

Finally, Ye Li entered an upscale villa residential area named 'Jin Lake Garden'.

There was a guard booth at the community entrance; entry required swiping a card or registering.

Xu Jingming originally didn't have permission.

But a thought moved in his mind, and that reserved portion of divine sense quietly spread out.

Hum—

Divine sense swept past the guard booth like invisible ripples.

The two guards who were chatting suddenly had a blank look in their eyes.

Then they returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Jingming, hugging the little black cat, swaggered into the community.

Vira the little cat poked her head out from his arms, a trace of surprise flashing in her large purple eyes:

"Meow? (Your divine sense can still be used inside the dream?)"

"I kept a portion."

Xu Jingming said in a low voice, "Although it's heavily suppressed, doing some simple things is still possible."

He followed Ye Li, arriving before a detached villa deep in the community.

The villa had three stories, with an independent garden and garage.

The decoration was exquisite; one look showed it was a wealthy family.

"Welcome home, young master."

The villa's intelligence level was very high.

As soon as Ye Li walked to the doorway, the door automatically opened,.

She walked inside.

Seeing this, Xu Jingming didn't rashly barge in.

Instead, his divine sense quietly probed into the villa interior.

Inside the villa, the living room.

The decor was modern minimalist style, spacious and bright; outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was a meticulously tended garden.

A middle-aged woman of gentle temperament was busy in the kitchen, the sound of stir-frying drifting out.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, looking refined and steady, sat on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Ye Li put down her schoolbag.

Her voice was still clear and cold, but a few degrees softer than at school.

"Xiao Li's back."

Ye Mother poked her head out from the kitchen, a warm smile on her face:

"Go wash your hands quick, the food will be ready soon."

Ye Father put down the newspaper, pushed up his glasses, and looked at his daughter:

"How was school today?"

"Fine." Ye Li answered briefly, but the corner of her mouth curved up slightly.

She walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a book from her schoolbag, and quietly flipped through it.

"Quite a happy and harmonious family.

Then the question arises: how to make her have intense emotional fluctuations?"

Xu Jingming's divine sense 'watched' this scene, falling into contemplation.

According to Venerable Xiyue's words.

One must use intense emotional impact to break the dream's balance.

"Simple, just kill her whole family, wouldn't that work?"

Vira the little cat suddenly spoke.

Although it was a cat's meow, through the Heart-Eroding Pattern's link, Xu Jingming could understand her meaning.

She jumped onto the grass, raised a front paw and licked it, a trace of cunning flashing in her large purple eyes:

"Meow~ (Witnessing her parents' tragic deaths with her own eyes, that impact would be intense enough, right?)"

"Oh? That's actually not a bad idea."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

Those who didn't know would think he was a crazed murderer.

Actually this is just a dream; killed is killed, there won't be any consequences.

"Then let's begin, wake Senior Sister up sooner, otherwise she'll keep sinking deeper."

Xu Jingming stood up, hugging Vira the little cat, and walked toward the villa.

This time, he didn't hide.

Instead he went straight to the villa entrance, raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

"Ding-dong—"

Footsteps came from inside the door.

The door opened; it was Ye's mother.

She saw Xu Jingming and froze slightly:

"You are......"

Xu Jingming did not answer; his figure flashed, and he charged straight into the house.

"What are you doing?!"

Ye's father stood up from the sofa and shouted sternly.

Ye Li also lifted her head from her book; a trace of wariness flashed in her cold, clear eyes.

Xu Jingming's gaze swept over the three people; his black pupils held no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

A thought moved in his mind, and the portion of divine sense he had kept in reserve erupted with a boom.

Although there was no lightning ability, the pure divine sense impact

was still fatal for ordinary people in a dream!

"Bang! Bang!"

Ye's father and Ye's mother didn't even have time to react.

They only felt a sudden sharp pain in their heads, and blood plasma burst open.

Immediately their vision went black, and they collapsed limply to the ground.

"Dad! Mom!"

Ye Li's pupils contracted sharply, and she leapt up from the sofa.

She looked at her parents fallen on the ground, then looked toward Xu Jingming standing in the center of the living room.

On her cold, stunningly beautiful face, intense emotional fluctuations appeared for the first time—

Shock! Anger!

"There are emotional fluctuations; it's going to succeed?"

Xu Jingming's face showed delight.

The entire dream world began to tremble violently.

Immediately after, it shattered with a boom!

Hum~~~

A familiar dizziness came.

When he came to his senses again, Xu Jingming discovered he was standing on another unfamiliar street.

Low residential buildings surrounded him; the street was narrow, and a few children were playing by the roadside.

"Huh? This is... failure? Entered the second life's dream?"

Xu Jingming reacted instantly.

But how could it have failed?

Judging by Ye Li's reaction, the emotional fluctuations were clearly very intense.

"Could it be the emotional fluctuations still weren't violent enough?"

Xu Jingming frowned.

He had already killed Ye Li's parents, and that still wasn't enough.

Then what would work?

"As expected, the Dream-Bewildering Pearl isn't that easy to crack."

Words were thus, but Xu Jingming did not lose heart because of it.

After all, it's an SSS1-grade item; if it really were that easy to crack, it couldn't have that kind of reputation.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

First find Senior Sister, then see how this life is arranged.

Weila, let's go."

"Meow-wu (Why am I still a cat?!)"

He casually picked up the very disgruntled little black cat Weila from beside the trash can.

Xu Jingming picked a direction at random and walked on, simultaneously spreading his divine sense to search for Ye Li.

Outside, inside the Frost Crown Hall.

Venerable Xiyue's jade finger tapped the void lightly.

Moon-white radiance rippled outward like water waves, coalescing into a giant light screen within the hall.

What the light screen displayed was precisely everything Xu Jingming had experienced in Ye Li's dream.

Due to the enormous difference in time flow between dream and reality.

The dream footage was as if fast-forwarded tens of thousands of times.

But for the Venerable and the two at the Supreme Ruler stage, there was naturally no problem at all.

"Killing the parents was a good choice, pity the emotions triggered still weren't violent enough."

Seeing this, the Frost Crown Ruler couldn't help but shake his head, a worried look on his face.

"Your disciple has a decisive temperament and direct methods; quite to my taste.

The Dream-Bewildering Pearl's dream is perilous, yet it best tempers the will and reveals the true self.

For him, this is not without opportunity.

Moreover, this is only just the beginning; don't be so anxious."

On Venerable Xiyue's bewitching countenance, however, there was an amused smile.

She seemed quite confident in Xu Jingming.

Upon hearing this, the Frost Crown Ruler's ice-blue eyes flickered slightly.

Her gaze returned to the light screen, and she spoke no further.
