Chapter 1054

0651 Pinch, you can pinch anything!

Next month?

What's the use of finding out next month? The opportunity will have long passed! Besides... you knew about my wedding too? Why didn't you remind me earlier?

Having been "defensed" twice by the Red-haired Bureau Chief's words, Hearing Li Ang, feeling extremely speechless, simply shut his mouth, bypassed the patrols, climbed up the outer wall of the palace, and pushed open the window of the Princess's bedroom.

「Tsk tsk~」

Watching Hearing Li Ang climb into the Princess's bedroom with such familiarity, the Red-haired Bureau Chief in the 【Parasitic Mistletoe】 fruit pouted.

「You're quite familiar with the layout of the palace, aren't you? Looks like you don't come here any less often~」

Too lazy to deal with the Red-haired Bureau Chief's sarcasm, Hearing Li Ang closed the window, walked lightly to the sofa in the room, and took out a mattress from the Mirror World to spread out.

According to the arrangements of those three Branch Chiefs, he would be serving as Veronica's bodyguard for the next ten days, twenty-four hours a day without leaving her side, so he guessed this leather sofa would be his bed for the next few days.

Hmm... although it's just a sofa, it's a bit narrow to lie on, but it seems softer than the bed at home, so it should be quite comfortable to sleep on.

After testing the softness of the sofa, Hearing Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, picked up a throw pillow from the carpet as a headrest, lay down comfortably, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

After the wild eating spree during the promotion assessment, his contamination value had already broken through the twenty-point mark and was heading toward thirty. Theoretically, even if he didn't sleep for the next ten days, his body could hold up.

However, even if his body could hold up, if his spirit remained tense for ten consecutive days, his state would be terrible, so he should rest as much as possible when he could and fish appropriately.

Anyway, the Bureau Chief is staying in the 【Parasitic Mistletoe】, and with her on duty beside him, who doesn't need to sleep at all, it makes no difference whether he's awake or not. If anything really happens, she can handle it directly.

As for the Princess... better not disturb her rest late at night.

After all, she seems to have a lot to do tomorrow, so it's better to explain the situation to her tomorrow morning... Yes... that's it. It's definitely not because he's afraid of being harassed by her when she wakes up.

Holding the thought that if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, Hearing Li Ang fell into a peaceful sleep as soon as he closed his eyes, leaving only two soft breathing sounds in the room.

He actually fell asleep...

Listening to Hearing Li Ang's increasingly long and steady breathing, the Red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but tsk, then took out a blanket, spread it out, lay down on her side, and flipped through the magazine she brought in, bored.

No... you two are resting, what are we supposed to do?

Looking at Hearing Li Ang sleeping soundly on the sofa, Shui Ping and the man in the Thrush mask, hiding behind the 【Dream-Wandering Lantern】, were somewhat stuck.

Theoretically, in such an unguarded situation, even if that Hearing Li Ang had an immortal body, the two of them could easily kill him, but... what happens after killing him?

The Blood-Xue Fa Ji, who was within the "jurisdiction" of the Virgo Branch and could receive the blessing of the Star Wang Gong, was undoubtedly a "Pillar God" level powerhouse. If she discovered the existence of the two of them, the next thing they would face would be the ruthless strangulation of over a hundred million 【Slaughtering Blood Hairs】.

If they encountered the Blood-Xue Fa Ji elsewhere, even if they weren't her match, they would at least have the confidence to retreat unscathed, but being caught by her at such a close distance...

They're dead!

And what's even more fatal is that injecting the Nightmare King into Veronica's dream would definitely cause a massive commotion, almost certainly being discovered by the Blood-Xue Fa Ji, and the original plan would no longer be viable.

「What now? 」

Casting a probing look at Shui Ping, the man in the Thrush mask asked tentatively in a low voice:

「Should we... retreat first? 」 「We cannot retreat. 」

Shui Ping, with an ugly expression, shook his head and explained:

「Olivia may not be good at investigation, but she is extremely sensitive to abnormal fluctuations around her. The reason we haven't been discovered by her yet is not only because of your concealment and the 【Dream-Wandering Lantern】, but also because we arrived first and the 【Dream-Wandering Lantern】 has stabilized without major fluctuations.

And now, my plan has been leaked by a traitor from your Rebel Faction. She is likely to keep guarding here. If we retreat now, I'm afraid we won't have another chance to get close! 」

So... you aren't actually planning to force it, are you?

Looking at Shui Ping's uncertain expression, the man in the Thrush mask felt a chill in his heart. Worried that he might do something extreme, he hurriedly tried to stop him:

「Wait! The situation might not be that bad! We can completely retreat first, call for a few helpers through the opening you created, and forge a fake version of you!

Once the Blood-Xue Fa Ji receives news that you are attacking the Virgo Branch, she will definitely rush to support it immediately. Wouldn't there be an opportunity to act here then? 」

After listening to the man in the Thrush mask's "luring the tiger away from the mountain" plan, Shui Ping glanced at him and asked coldly:

「Eya, do you even believe what you just said? 」

「Why wouldn't I believe it? I... 」

「What if the Bureau has another ambush and the Blood-Xue Fa Ji doesn't go to support? What if the Blood-Xue Fa Ji brings the Princess with her while supporting? What if the Blood-Xue Fa Ji doesn't bring the Princess, but the Princess doesn't dream during this gap? 」

「I... 」

「Forget it, the only chance now is to act directly and force the plan forward! 」

「No... are you crazy? 」

Seeing that Shui Ping really had this intention, the man in the Thrush mask felt a bit numb and said annoyedly:

「The Blood-Xue Fa Ji isn't blind! How could she not notice such a big commotion? By then... 」

「Don't worry, by then, she might not have the energy to care about us! 」

Narrowing his eyes as he looked at Hearing Li Ang sleeping soundly on the sofa, Shui Ping slowly lifted the 【Dream-Wandering Lantern】 in his hand, his voice drifting slightly as he reminded:

「Look, he's about to start dreaming too. 」

Him? That Hearing Li Ang?

Looking at Hearing Li Ang, who was sleeping with a small quilt over his belly and his mouth slightly open, looking completely foolish, the man in the Thrush mask asked in confusion:

「He's about to dream, but what use is that? 」

「Of course it's useful, and very useful at that! 」

After opening the cover of the 【Dream-Wandering Lantern】 and taking out the wick with the Nightmare Hearing Li Ang tied to it, Shui Ping explained with burning eyes:

「There is him in the Princess's dream. As long as you use your 【Chaos】 authority to mess with it a little, we can merge the two dreams into one and send him into the Princess's dream without alerting the Blood-Xue Fa Ji.

And the newborn Nightmare King is a nightmare born from the 'Hearing Li Ang' nightmare, almost equivalent to his reflection in the Dream World. So as long as we give it a little push, we can turn the two Li Angs into one and send the Nightmare King into the Princess's dream as well! 」
