Chapter 423: 423. Chapter 423: Don't Be Afraid, Dreams Are All Reversed

423. Chapter 423: Don't be afraid, dreams are all reversed

Shi Ren had previously told her that in the eleventh year of Emperor Wu, their family went to a small town for a trip and encountered the once-in-a-century Earth Dragon Reversal.

Now it is the twelfth year of Emperor Wu.

Such a situation hasn't occurred.

Perhaps Shi Ren misremembered the date.

Or perhaps he was just talking nonsense.

Or maybe her appearance changed their fate, so the so‑called once‑in‑a‑century Earth Dragon Reversal never happened?

To find out.

Qiao Sheng decided to ask Shi Ren again.

It was at that moment.

Shi Lin's voice rang out: "They are already eleven, but they still have several years before adulthood, and look at Shi Jin—what difference is there between him and a child of a few years old?"

Fine.

Qiao Sheng spoke up: "You make a good point; is it still not okay if I say nothing?"

Shi Lin grasped her hand and said, "You are my wife; you can't stop talking to me."

"Silly, is that what I meant?"

Qiao Sheng laughed.

Shi Lin kissed Qiao Sheng's forehead and said in one breath, "How could I be that foolish? I'm just teasing you."

Qiao Sheng raised her hand to scratch Shi Lin's itch, and the two instantly started a playful scuffle.

She sent Shi Lin off to take a bath first.

Qiao Sheng went to find Shi Ren, calling him to a place with no one around; she got straight to the point and asked, "Shi Ren, do you still remember what you said before? You said in the eleventh year of Emperor Wu…"

She stopped there.

Shi Ren immediately knew what Qiao Sheng wanted to ask, and he cut her off: "I also don't know why the Earth Dragon Reversal didn't occur; I'm quite puzzled as well."

Qiao Sheng casually asked, "Could it be that the date was misremembered?"

How could he possibly get the date wrong!

Shi Ren said with a thudding voice, "No, I wouldn't misremember."

He looked agitated.

Qiao Sheng hurriedly explained, "Shi Ren, that's not what I meant, I didn't intend…"

"I know."

Shi Ren's tone had become much calmer than before.

Qiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As she hesitated whether to ask Shi Ren another question,

Shi Ren spoke up: "I remember it was early September; we were touring that town and were about to leave after a few days when the incident happened."

He volunteered the story.

Qiao Sheng followed up, "Was it daytime or night?"

"Midnight."

When Shi Ren thought of that scene, his heart involuntarily fluttered.

Early September.

It's not even August yet.

Worried about such a question, the next afternoon when Shi Lin returned, she said to him, "Sir, is the house we live in sturdy?"

"Sturdy, what's the matter?"

Shi Lin was momentarily stunned and said.

Qiao Sheng found it hard to say what Shi Ren had just said: "Here's the thing, I had a dream last night; I hesitated but decided to tell you. I dreamed of the Earth Dragon Reversal, and many houses collapsed…"

Shi Lin's expression froze.

He came to his senses.

Shi Lin patted Qiao Sheng's head and said, "Don't be afraid, dreams are all reversed; nothing will happen."

That guy.

Qiao Sheng didn't say anything further for the time being; she had already decided what to do.

The next day.

Shi Lin finished getting ready to attend court when Qiao Sheng called him: "Sir, I had that kind of dream again…"

Once, twice.

She still couldn't believe he would say that again.

Sure enough.

Shi Lin's expression grew a bit more solemn than before: "Got it. I'll have An Yi and the others be more vigilant; if there's any sign of trouble, I'll call everyone out."

Over at Qiao Hushui's side, Qiao Sheng used the same wording.

They are a bit more superstitious compared to Shi Lin.

When Qiao Sheng said that, they all worried that such a situation might occur; for a moment they didn't know what to do, unsure whether their house could withstand an Earth Dragon Reversal.

"Father, mother, just be more watchful lately; there are omens before an Earth Dragon Reversal."
