Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Entering the Dream

Qin Yi could only endure it silently.

After a while, Xia Yanbing finally let go of her teeth, seeing Qin Yi’s swollen lips, feeling a bit apologetic yet somewhat relieved.

"Feel better?"

"Does it hurt?"

"Not comfortable."

"No pain."

Both asked in unison, then answered in unison.

Xia Yanbing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing until tears flowed. Pregnant women tend to be emotional, and Qin Yi’s death had indeed broken her heart. If it weren’t for the child, she might have already followed Qin Yi. Now that Qin Yi had come back to life, she was overjoyed to tears.

Xia Yanbing went from laughter to tears, leaving Qin Yi at a loss for what to do.

"Husband, am I dreaming?" Xia Yanbing still felt a bit unreal.

Qin Yi reached out and pinched her smooth, charming face, saying gently, "It’s not a dream, I’m really alive."

This familiar gesture made Xia Yanbing’s lips tremble slightly. She finally confirmed that Qin Yi was really alive.

"I promised you that I would come back unharmed."

Xia Yanbing’s voice was hoarse with tears: "But it’s been a whole month without a word from you. I really thought you..."

"I’m sorry for making you worry." Qin Yi didn’t know how to comfort her, so he kept apologizing.

Xia Yanbing hugged Qin Yi tightly, laughing amidst tears.

"Husband, go check on Yiyi. She’s not doing well."

Qin Yi nodded slightly: "Don’t worry, with me here, Yiyi will be fine."

The two of them went downstairs.

Everyone looked at Qin Yi strangely.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but watch out for the baby," Yun Mengyao teased.

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, then realized Yun Mengyao was referring to his swollen lips. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, "It’s the mark of love, what do you know?"

"Then that love must be quite painful."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, choosing to ignore her schadenfreude, and headed towards Duan Yiyi’s room.

Everyone followed him in.

Seeing Duan Yiyi lying on the bed, pale and without a hint of color, Qin Yi’s breath caught, and his heart ached for this foolish girl.

Qin Yi approached her, raised his hand, and a purple light enveloped Duan Yiyi.

After a long while, he slowly withdrew his hand, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Qin Yi, how is Yiyi?"

Qin Yi sighed, "Her physical functions are all fine."

"We all know that. Is there a way to wake Yiyi up?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "Yiyi is trapped in a world she’s woven herself and is unwilling to wake up. I’ll find a way to bring her out of her dream."

"Whatever you need us to do, just say it," Duan Xinyuan urged.

Qin Yi said, "No need, you guys go out and wait for me outside. Leave the rest to me."

Everyone trusted Qin Yi’s ability and nodded one after another.

"Husband, you must wake Yiyi up."

Qin Yi smiled and nodded.

Xia Yanbing and the others left the room.

Qin Yi looked sadly at the unconscious Duan Yiyi, "Silly girl, is it worth it? For someone like me, to hurt yourself so deeply, such profound feelings, how can I ever repay them?"

Qin Yi gradually composed himself. Duan Yiyi was trapped in a world she’d created herself, like being stuck in a quagmire unable to free herself. It was a mentally woven world. Forcibly awakening her would surely damage her mind. To leave her completely unscathed, he had to enter her dream world, understand everything, and find the right remedy.

Everyone’s inner world is a unique secret, like someone else’s dream. Peering into another’s inner world is very unethical. But he couldn’t let Duan Yiyi lie there forever.

"Silly girl, let me see, what kind of beautiful dream have you woven for yourself, making you so unable to extricate yourself?"

Qin Yi took two steps back, his hands quickly forming seals, as purple light rolled and enveloped the entire room.

"Spiritual Origin Array, activate!"

Qin Yi raised his hand lightly, and the purple light spread along the walls, forming an independent space.

The Spiritual Origin Array had the effect of protecting and restoring the mind. To enter Duan Yiyi’s dream, he had to first protect her mind. The inner world is unique to everyone. Should Qin Yi barge in rashly, if Duan Yiyi’s mind was fragile, it might make her never wake up again.

Qin Yi sat down cross-legged, a purple light extending from his glabella and finally entering through Duan Yiyi’s glabella.

If it were before, Qin Yi couldn’t have achieved divine soul connection. However, the Phoenix Gall had allowed him to enter the mental world left by the Fire Phoenix three times, enabling him to acquire the method of divine soul connection.

Once the divine soul was connected, Qin Yi felt like he was falling into endless darkness, as if he were plunging into a bottomless abyss, deep and pitch-black.

He didn’t know how much time passed when suddenly it was bright before his eyes, and he found himself in a strange world.

Is this the world Duan Yiyi most longed for in her heart?

Before him was like a fairy-tale world, a majestic and beautiful fairy-tale kingdom. The tall walls of the kingdom were surrounded by vast meadows, flowers, and forests.

Qin Yi soared into the air and arrived above the castle.

The enormous castle was magnificent, with countless people bustling about, from little dwarves building beautiful houses to cute children laughing and playing, as well as a disciplined golden-armored army patrolling. Everyone had their own job and was busy, but everyone had a happy smile on their face.

This...

Qin Yi looked at the scene before him, finding it somewhat familiar, as if he’d seen it somewhere before.

Right, it seemed to be from some cartoon. He remembered Duan Yiyi once dragged him to watch it together, but he wasn’t interested in cartoons and merely glanced at it briefly.

However, the scene he saw then was exactly the same as the current scene.

Indeed, she was a child who never grew up. Her inner world turned out to be a fairy-tale world.

Qin Yi found it amusing and also somewhat envious, envious of Duan Yiyi’s simplicity of mind. If someone peered into his mental world, they would probably only see a dark and hellish world.

At the center of the kingdom stood the tallest castle, heavily guarded.

The upper part of the castle extended to form a huge platform, where one could overlook the entire kingdom.

A graceful silhouette appeared, wearing a floor-length white dress, beautiful and elegant. Her long ponytail hung down to her calves, adorned with little white flowers carved from white jade, shimmering like starlight in the sun.

Qin Yi’s breath caught. If that girl wasn’t Duan Yiyi, then who was she?

The citizens of the kingdom stopped their work when they saw Duan Yiyi, bowing down in worship.

Duan Yiyi was like a beautiful princess, happily waving her little hands.

Qin Yi’s mouth curled up, indeed, every girl has a princess dream.

Rumbling...!

With a dull noise, the tall and heavy gates of the kingdom slowly opened.

Then came the sharp and concentrated sound of hooves as a cavalry with golden armor and silver spears charged in from outside the gates.

The residents of the kingdom cheered excitedly.

But Qin Yi was stunned because riding the majestic white horse, clad in snow-white silver armor with a treasure sword at his waist, leading the charge at the very front, was himself.
