Chapter 427: Crazy People Do Crazy Things!
It can be said that if Imperial Consort Xiao truly did not lie, then the story she told was deeply moving.
She had tasted the fruits of hell in this world before transforming into a vengeful ghost to plague Norland.
And young Norland was merely a sacrifice in this court turmoil.
Jiang Li did not point out the other party's identity.
Because that would leave neither side with a way out.
"The story Miss tells is indeed tragic!"
Jiang Li lay on the water's surface with his hands clasped behind his head; the water's buoyancy was especially great, yet even so, it did not submerge half his body. His entire body drifted with the waves, and the only awkwardness was that he could see it by looking down but could not avoid it; covering it too much would instead seem petty, after all, the other party's jade-like body had not a single thing covering it.
"Then tell me, should this little Imperial Consort not fight back?" said Imperial Consort Xiao.
Jiang Li nodded.
Imperial Consort Xiao fell silent.
"Perhaps the events that followed are being sung throughout all of Norland!" Imperial Consort Xiao said, her mood somewhat desolate.
Jiang Li said nothing either.
"You are indeed a very good listener, just like you in the dream! I never thought that one day you would come before me."
Jiang Li seized the key point in her words.
"Dream? Have I appeared in your dreams?"
"Yes. Perhaps we are in a dream even now, but today's dream is truly too real. Five or six thousand days and nights of the same dream, yet today's dream is the most real and the most complete!"
Jiang Li's heart gave a start.
He knew Imperial Consort Xiao had no reason to lie.
But if so, was this not somewhat absurd?
Yet what Imperial Consort Xiao said next made Jiang Li feel even more that it was absurd.
He even nearly cried out in surprise.
Indeed, Jiang Li even suspected the other party could peer into his heart.
But that was nearly impossible; no one, without casting a technique, could peer into the hearts of human-world class-transfers.
Moreover, even if one could peer into the heart, one could only see the thoughts of that moment—what you are thinking now, what you want to do now; only if the brain had just thought it and the other party happened to activate a skill at that exact moment could it be perceived.
"You like honey cakes!"
"You also like—tanghulu; Norland has no such thing as tanghulu!"
"Braised pork. It seems these are all foods."
"Calligraphy!"
"Martial arts!"
"And you especially love to study!"
Every word of hers struck Jiang Li's heart; these were all things he loved to eat, and his hobbies!!!
He had never told a few people about them.
He could no longer remain calm; he widened his eyes and stared at her.
She, however, returned a smile. "I knew it would be so. You are the one from the dream."
Jiang Li also felt it was too crazy.
He had appeared in Imperial Consort Xiao's dreams, and according to her words, he had already appeared in her dreams for over ten years.
And what was the true third-generation Prince of Norland more than ten years ago? Just a little brat, right?
And the hobbies and foods Imperial Consort Xiao had just spoken of were all of Jiang Li's real-world hobbies.
There was no choice; Jiang Li pinched himself directly. It really hurt, utterly real; his body was cold, and the two were indeed floating in the water, with the scent of flowers spreading everywhere.
"Could it be that I am under an Illusion?"
Jiang Li closed his eyes, unwilling to believe everything was real, wanting to dispel the Illusion.
Suddenly, he felt the other party kiss his forehead; that warmth was even more real.
"Hee-hee—"
"At first I thought it was an Illusion, but with my abilities, if it had been going on for over ten years and I still could not discover a single flaw, that would be too amazing. I simply cannot believe there is anyone in the world so bored as to use such an Illusion to fool me!" said Imperial Consort Xiao.
In the end, Jiang Li was completely stunned, staring at her without blinking.
"Could it be that a God has altered her memory and cognition???"
This conclusion made Jiang Li's spirit tremble.
Only a True God could achieve such a thing.
But for what purpose was all of this? Jiang Li had no way of knowing.
"Then what do you want now?" Jiang Li asked.
"This dream has a continuation. Do you want to hear it?"
Imperial Consort Xiao actually blushed.
At this moment, the mist grew even more hazy; the wind rose, and flower petals danced everywhere in the sky, as if to cover something up.
She simply sat directly on the water's surface, then twisted her body and lay prone.
"This is the continuation..."
"This..."
One night passed.
Jiang Li looked at the palace entrance, lost in thought for a long time.
It was too crazy.
What happened overnight, he would never forget in his entire life.
The situation had already slipped beyond his control.
However, there was good news: his reincarnation hidden skill had completed, 2/3.
