Chapter 755: Awakening from the Great Dream

The cicadas were noisy!

Summer had arrived, and even in this desolate border town in the north, it was full of greenery everywhere.

Under a large willow tree, He Pingsheng was watching some neighbors play chess when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

A burst of noisy sounds came, and everyone looked up toward the other end of the street, only to see Commandant Yan riding a horse, followed by a hundred soldiers, each holding weapons, gathering toward the camp.

"Commandant Yan, on such a hot day, why are you gathering?"

"Is there enemy intelligence?"

"Are the Guifang Tatars coming to attack?"

"It's not even autumn yet, why are they attacking now?"

Guifang is a nomadic tribe located north of the Song Dynasty, a very powerful tribe. They herd sheep and cattle, following water and grass. At this time, the rain is abundant and the grass is lush, which is the best time for grassland tribes to graze. Under normal circumstances, they would not launch a war at this time.

Every time Guifang launches a war, it is in autumn, because in autumn, the Song Dynasty has a bumper harvest of grain, and it is easy for them to enter the border of the Song Dynasty to plunder.

To put it bluntly, it's still for food.

But now it's summer, what are they here for?

Everyone was both suspicious and terrified.

Commandant Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No... it's the Emperor's palace, some of the concubines in the harem are causing trouble!"

The palace, causing trouble?

"Go... hurry up!"

Commandant Yan led the army and passed by with a clatter.

He Pingsheng looked surprised: Good fellow, for thousands of years, I have never heard of concubines causing trouble.

How can concubines cause trouble?

Concubines causing trouble actually requires mobilizing border troops, what's going on?

When did concubines have such great power?

"Pingsheng, hurry home... Jiaojiao is giving birth!" The old blacksmith looked much older than he did a few years ago.

He Pingsheng hurriedly stood up from his seat and ran home in a panic: "Giving birth... is it a boy or a girl?"

He Pingsheng asked Blacksmith Kong while running.

Blacksmith Kong said: "It hasn't been born yet, who knows?"

"Oh, right... Yu Bo hasn't come yet, my old arms and legs can't run, you go call Yu Bo to come over quickly!"

Yu Bo is the only midwife in the border town.

He Pingsheng hurriedly turned around and ran toward Yu Bo's place.

After two incense sticks of time, with the help of Yu Bo, He Pingsheng finally heard a loud cry of a baby from the room.

"Oh my... that's great... it's a boy!"

Yu Bo came out of the room, looked at He Pingsheng with a smile, and said: "Congratulations, Jiaojiao finally gave you a son!"

Blacksmith Kong slapped He Pingsheng, who was laughing foolishly, on the shoulder: "What are you laughing at, hurry up, go get some happy money."

"Oh oh oh..." He Pingsheng entered the main room, took half a string of copper coins, and stuffed them to Yu Bo.

Yu Bo thanked him repeatedly and went into the west wing to serve again.

"Woo woo woo..." Inside the gate, the little black dog, which had grown to three feet in size, lay on the ground, seemingly feeling the unusual information in the family today. It lowered its head, looking like it was selling cuteness.

"Daddy, do I have a younger brother?"

A seven or eight-year-old girl looked up at He Pingsheng.

The little girl was fair and clean, like a porcelain doll, with two braids, and her baby-fat face was full of question marks.

This was He Pingsheng and Jiaojiao's first child, a daughter, named 【He Yuqing】.

"Yes!" He Pingsheng touched his daughter's head lovingly: "Qingqing, you have a younger brother!"

"Are you happy?"

"Hmm hmm hmm..." Qingqing nodded and said: "Happy, I can play with my younger brother!"

An hour later, the midwife Yu Bo left.

He Pingsheng opened the door of the west wing and walked to Jiaojiao's side.

Jiaojiao's face was pale and she looked very weak, but her face was full of happiness.

Beside her lay a newly born baby, whose skin was wrinkled, looking dark and ugly.

"Look, the child is so cute!" Jiaojiao smiled.

He Pingsheng sat beside her and asked: "Are you feeling better?"

"Hmm!" Jiaojiao nodded: "It's okay, I'm not giving birth for the first time, there won't be any problems. When I gave birth to Qingqing for the first time, that was truly life-and-death!"

"But I am willing to give birth to your child!"

He Pingsheng reached out and helped Jiaojiao up, half-lying on him.

"You've worked hard, Jiaojiao... I... I know, you just gave birth to the second child during this time, I should stay by your side!"

"But... I have to go on a long journey!"

"What?" Jiaojiao's body shook, she reached out and grabbed He Pingsheng's hand: "No... where are you going?"

"Don't leave us!"

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not saying I won't come back... I'll only be out for three months this time, and I'll be back in three months, okay?"

Kong Jiaojiao raised her head, and a gentle light flowed from her clear, bright, and beautiful eyes. The light was soft, but also had some firmness: "You... awakened?"

"Going to find the stone?"

Hearing this, He Pingsheng's body couldn't help but shake.

He also looked at Kong Jiaojiao and said tremblingly: "You awakened long ago?"

Just earlier today, He Pingsheng awakened for no reason, and he suddenly understood everything.

He knew that he was now in a dream.

He, He Pingsheng, did not belong to this world. He was a Void Refinement stage cultivator from another world, participating in the 【Three Dreams of the Red Dust】, the first level of the Stone Platform Meeting. Moreover, in this dream, he had to find a special stone to win steadily.

Now that he awakened earlier than others, he naturally wanted to go out and see if he could grasp the stone in his own hands in advance.

Of course!

Since awakening, He Pingsheng had also been a bit embarrassed.

Because his current wife, Kong Jiaojiao, was actually the Peacock Demon Emperor on the Sky Fire Continent, the Great Lun Ming Wang!

Good fellow!

I became husband and wife with the Great Lun Ming Wang and lived together for more than ten years.

We even had two children.

Not just the Great Lun Ming Wang!

And that dog at the entrance.

That is no mere Heavenly Dog, but the Crown Prince of the Kongkong Beast clan: Crown Prince Kongkong.

Good heavens!

Once this fellow wakes up later, won't he go mad?

The problem is, although He Pingsheng has awakened now, he has only awakened within a dream; he understands everything in the dream, but he has not stepped out of the dream realm.

As long as he remains within this dream, he has not been born into the world.

Without being born into the world, he lacks those original abilities to fly through the heavens and burrow into the earth.

Various methods, spiritual sense, and so on are basically unusable.

There are certainly no magic treasures in the dream.

He also possesses no magic power in his body.

The reason He Pingsheng proposes leaving now is that he is worried about future awkwardness.

After all, this is the Dalun Mingwang.

The Dalun Mingwang is at the Great Emperor realm; I have awakened, so her awakening should not be far off—when that time comes, once she awakens, how awkward would it be?

Better to... leave first!

Yet He Pingsheng never imagined that the Dalun Mingwang had also awakened, and it seems, even earlier than him.
