Chapter 40
Chapter 40
Liang Yun looked up at the full moon in the sky and said, “We were delayed on our way here. I’m afraid the curse on the Regent King has already taken effect. You’ll have to wake him up first before you can ask him for it.”
Ye Piaoling thought about it.
It was just a bathrobe, not some priceless treasure. He probably wouldn’t refuse to give it to her.
She nodded. “Alright.”
Liang Yun led Ye Piaoling to the courtyard behind the Bedchamber, where there was a hot spring.
A man of devastating beauty sat within the clear pool, wearing a snow-white bathrobe. His dark hair fell across the side of his face, his long eyes were peacefully closed, and his posture was noble and dignified.
He remained motionless, clearly deep in slumber.
Ye Piaoling’s gaze instantly locked onto the man’s bathrobe, and her eyes lit up.
That was the bathrobe!
The Regent King’s bathrobe!!
“Wearing clothes while bathing? That’s way too formal!”
Ye Piaoling pointed at the bathrobe on the man and said excitedly, “Can I help him take it off?”
Liang Yun: “…”
“That might not be a good idea, right?” Liang Yun said tactfully. “If the Regent King wakes up and finds himself stripped bare by you, won’t he be angry?”
“He probably won’t!”
Ye Piaoling had a look of impatient anticipation.
“…”
Liang Yun was speechless.
He watched as Ye Piaoling stared at the Regent King’s body, her eyes practically glowing.
Liang Yun awkwardly covered his face with one hand…
Then again, with the Regent King’s beauty, what young girl could resist?
“Then, Miss Ye, I will wait outside. Please do as you wish…” Liang Yun said. “Just, please, don’t forget the main task!”
With that, he fled the scene.
What else could be done?
To break the Soul-Departing Curse, it seemed his master would just have to fend for himself!
Ye Piaoling crouched by the spring and reached out to check Di Xiulan’s breath.
“Sure enough, he’s stopped breathing again.”
Ye Piaoling smiled and hopped into the water with peace of mind, beginning her search for the bathrobe’s sash.
As her hands touched the man’s sculpturally perfect body, the sensation of powerful muscle carried a hint of countless sinful implications…
Ye Piaoling couldn’t help but feel her face flush.
Damn, she actually felt a bit embarrassed!
She hesitated for a moment but decided to wake Di Xiulan up first.
“Fine, I’m a person of quality after all. I’ll just wait for him to wake up and give me the bathrobe himself…”
A noble person uses words, not hands.
Ye Piaoling sighed and leaned in.
All it would take was one kiss to wake the sleeping beauty Regent King!
Before her was Di Xiulan’s magnified, handsome face. A beauty that seemed both divine and demonic was inches away, incredibly tempting…
To focus on the task at hand, Ye Piaoling quickly closed her eyes and pressed her lips against the man’s thin, crimson lips.
They still had that perfect curve and a cool touch.
With her previous work experience, Ye Piaoling didn’t let go immediately. Instead, she maintained a steady output, lingering and lightly nibbling on the man’s thin lips while chanting silently in her heart.
*Wake up, hurry up and wake up, hocus pocus…*
A moment later, everything suddenly went black!
Ye Piaoling felt as if she had been pulled into another space. In an instant, the world spun, and the sound of wind and thunder roared in her ears!
“Ah!!!”
Ye Piaoling screamed in terror and opened her eyes.
Before her was pitch blackness, and her body felt as if it were in a vortex, spinning and falling wildly!
[Oh no! Host, you’ve been infected by the Sleeping Curse! Your Primordial Spirit has left your body, and you’ve entered the Soul-Departing Dream!]
The Silly System’s voice rang out at the perfect time.
[What?] Ye Piaoling was shocked. [You mean I was infected by him and entered his dream?]
[Yes, the system detects that this is an erotic dream!]
[An e-erotic dream?!]
Ye Piaoling’s eyes widened.
In the next second, the vortex dissipated, and a different scene appeared before her.
A dark, eerie Bedchamber, filled with swaying, soft red curtains…
Ye Piaoling found herself lying on a massive bed, wearing no clothes at all. She was merely wrapped in a thin layer of red gauze from the curtains, and her wrists were bound by iron chains!
“Holy crap!!!”
Ye Piaoling stared, dumbfounded.
At the same time, the dream’s plot flooded into her mind.
In this dream, she was a Peach Blossom Spirit who possessed the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. She had been captured by the Demon Emperor to serve as a Cauldron for his cultivation.
The Demon Emperor wanted to use her for Dual Cultivation. This was an extremely evil method of practice that involved nightly revelry. Ultimately, his cultivation would reach great heights, while her spiritual power would be completely drained, leading to her death…
This melodramatic plot was indeed an erotic dream!
She started to panic: [System, is that Demon Emperor Di Xiulan?]
[Yes, yes!]
The Silly System said happily: [But the Soul-Departing Dream is another world. Di Xiulan won’t remember his identity in reality, nor will he recognize you… He is simply the Demon Emperor, and he will improve his own cultivation by killing you!]
[…]
Ye Piaoling couldn’t help but ask: [Then what happens if I die in the dream?]
System: [If you die in the Soul-Departing Dream, your Primordial Spirit will be scattered and destroyed!]
Ye Piaoling: [What if he dies?]
System: [He is the master of this dream. If he dies, his Primordial Spirit will return to reality. But you will be trapped in the Soul-Departing Dream forever, and eventually, your spirit will also be scattered, ga-ga-ga…]
