Chapter 164: The One Chasing Behind (Third update, please subscribe)

"I have her perfume on me, it's a crime committed by your nose~"

"This must be something wrong with your nose."

"What to do if there's a problem with the nose? Just clear it out."

Ren Yidao was tired.

Too many things had happened today.

Private tutoring sessions were exhausting to begin with.

He had also taught many lessons to two people at the same time.

He was practically a model worker.

It was time to take a rest during the final moments before dawn.

Turning his head to look at Senior Sister, who was sleeping with her lips pursed and cheeks puffed out, Ren Yidao smiled.

When Jing Yueqin was by his side, he felt the most at ease.

It was not the sweet nothings spoken to each other, but a genuine sense of peace he felt.

A sense of peace cultivated over many years, bordering on instinct.

The emotions between them had long since surpassed so much.

When he was there, she was at ease.

When she was there, he was at peace.

Where the heart is at peace, there is my home.

For Ren Yidao, where exactly was the hometown of his life?

Was it those mountains where he was born?

Or was it that Incense temple in Chongzhou City worshipped by the masses?

Or was it the Divine Path Sect where he had lived for the better part of his life?

Perhaps it was all of them.

If he could, he would not want to forget any of these places.

Or perhaps... it was none of them.

If he absolutely had to choose only one, then he would abandon all the others.

Once, Ren Yidao could not figure this out either, but later he discovered that he actually only had one hometown.

"Hoo..."

Feeling the woman beside him who was not holding him but instead curled up asleep amidst a pile of Fox Tail, Ren Yidao gave a wry smile.

"My choice is you."

Jing Yueqin.

No matter where, as long as she was there, it was his hometown.

This most overbearing, most unreasonable, most crazy, and most dangerous woman.

The woman who possessed his greatest secret.

And also the woman who loved him the most in this world.

At least for now, this title did not need the word "one of."

Even this time was the same; when he was in the greatest danger during his Wentian journey, the one who came to save him was also her.

Never mind whether she helped in the end or if she sold him out a second time, just ask yourself if Jing Yueqin was the one who rushed over at the start?

"Come to think of it, I forgot to ask why she ran out of the Divine Path Sect; I'll talk about it later."

"I'm also a bit sleepy..."

Too many things happened this night; Huhu was truly tired.

With the familiar scent lying beside him, he felt sleepiness welling up in his heart.

He did not resist, but instead followed it and closed his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was not greeted by the morning of the next day.

"Trying to mess with my head, are you?"

The last time he got drunk with Li Long, he did not enter this dream after falling asleep.

He had originally thought this was a unique trait of Heaven Realm cultivators.

But this time, the cruel reality told him that it was not because of that.

As a Wuxiang expert who was also a Heaven Realm cultivator, he still entered this place when sleeping beside Jing Yueqin.

"Then, is it because of gender?"

Li Long, male, no go.

Jing Yueqin, female, go.

"What's going on? Is this gender thing the 'version meta' even here?"

Is it that powerful?

After grumbling for a moment, Ren Yidao reined in his thoughts.

Regardless of the true reason, he could continuously control variables and conduct experiments in the future.

What was most important now was how to gain more experience this time to utilize in the next.

After accidentally taking a nap with the two Junior Sisters last time, he had gained a Dragon Egg and a Blood-Winged Yinglong in this dream.

This time, although these two were still there, they both seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber.

The Yinglong lay on top of the Dragon Egg, covering it with its wings as if shielding it from the wind and rain.

"It seems these two won't be of any use this time."

And what was slightly unexpected was that Jing Yueqin did not add anything new to his dream.

There were no new intruders in this empty space.

"……Too many doubts."

But it was not without any changes; this time, Ren Yidao had an intuition that a powerful force had been added to his body.

A force that was unfamiliar yet familiar.

Although this force did not belong to him and could not be used to attack, it protected his body from being harmed by danger.

With this force present, he should be able to do more things.

Should he continue running forward to dodge attacks?

Or should he turn his head to investigate more information in the surroundings?

"……"

This time, Ren Yidao performed an action different from all the others.

He did not continue to run away, but instead wanted to use the force within his body to turn back!

Before, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, but now that he had this power, who would still let themselves be pushed around!

He wanted to see exactly who was chasing him.

"Who the hell has been chasing me all this time?"

Ren Yidao did not want to keep running like this anymore.

Being so passive all the time made him a bit irritated.

The game of cat and mouse should end.

"Let me take a look!"

I don't care what kind of Ox Star, Ghost Star, or snake spirit you are; once I figure out your true form, just wait and see how I deal with you later!?

I'm not bragging, but my connections are very extensive!

He turned his head with difficulty and looked behind him.

He did not see the approaching monster, and there was no nine-tailed fox behind him either.

At first glance, there was nothing in the entire space, just like the emptiness in front of him.

However, the next moment, a huge change appeared in Ren Yidao's field of vision.

In a trance, he seemed to be amidst the clouds.

After a moment of weightlessness, his feet landed on a solid surface; he was walking on the clouds.

Immediately after, the sound of prayers, originating from nowhere, reached his ears.

He could not hear the content clearly, but he could understand the piety and power contained within it.

Countless voices were calling out a name.

The same name!

The honorable name of a deity!

Those voices drifted from bottom to top, toward the infinitely high Heaven.

"This is……"

Following the sound, he raised his head and looked above the clouds.

"!!!"

And above those clouds, he saw a grand altar.

That altar looked like a Lotus Platform and also like a meditation cushion, engraved with complex and gorgeous patterns.

And standing upon that altar was a deity with lowered brows and eyes, looking down at all living beings beneath its feet.

And the shadow cast by this deity was a giant nine-tailed beast extending infinitely.

It is quite a coincidence that Ren Yidao actually recognizes this deity.

Because he saw himself.

Looking at that familiar face and feeling that all-too-familiar fluctuation, he would absolutely not mistake it.

This deity……

With thoughts surging in his heart, Ren Yidao narrowed his eyes and whispered the answer:

"Dao God……"

The one who had been chasing behind him all this time……

Was his Dao God.

My waist hurts; I could only lie down to type yesterday. I ordered a lumbar support for my chair today, hope it's useful.

Begging for subscriptions—love you! By the way, there are double Monthly Tickets at the end of the month.

Now I only get a few dozen, or even just over ten follows a day; it's so pitiful…… Is there really no one who will recommend the book or anything? Save me——
