Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Nightmare

After being taken away by the monstrous bird in the picture, Duan Yiyi cried every day.

However, after the sorrow passed, Duan Yiyi revealed her resilient side.

After the great battle, the Kingdom was in ruins, and Duan Yiyi led the people in the Kingdom to restore its former prosperity.

The Kingdom was still that fairy-tale beautiful kingdom, but the smile was never seen on Duan Yiyi’s face again.

One day, Duan Yiyi left alone.

Silver armor, silver spear, one person, one horse, through forests, across grasslands, over snow-capped mountains, through swamps.

Eventually, in a faraway place tens of thousands of miles away, a fiery world appeared, desolate beyond reckoning, with not a blade of grass.

A monstrous bird appeared, slightly smaller than the previous one, but even more grotesque and terrifying, with four bird heads.

Duan Yiyi fought a heaven-shattering battle with this monstrous bird.

In the end, she slew the monstrous bird.

Qin Yi had always followed Duan Yiyi, could this monstrous bird... be Murong Qianxun? It seems Duan Yiyi found Murong Qianxun even more detestable.

Duan Yiyi rode the horse and charged into this world of blazing fire.

In the end, she found the monstrous bird that took Qin Yi and, after a grueling three-day and three-night struggle, finally slew the bird beneath her horse. She rescued Qin Yi, who was on the verge of death, from a cave.

Qin Yi’s mouth kept twitching, this girl’s way of thinking is truly extraordinary. Since you can slay the monstrous bird here, why not slay it in the Kingdom?

And, aren’t you thinking too little of your little husband?

Seeing himself on the verge of death on the screen, Qin Yi unexpectedly laughed out loud, seeing himself so gravely wounded yet able to laugh, Qin Yi’s way of thinking is twisted enough.

But soon he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Dreams are born from the heart.

Duan Yiyi did all this, simply because it was the beautiful wish in her heart, her beautiful dream.

The Vermilion Bird killed him, but Duan Yiyi hoped he was alive, so she imagined all this based on her own experiences of seeking revenge on Vermilion Bird Mountain.

Qin Yi sighed, what a foolish girl. What virtue or ability do I, Qin Yi, have to make you sacrifice like this?

...

...

The scene shifts again.

After rescuing the version of herself in the picture, Duan Yiyi did not return to the Kingdom, and the two went to a beautiful large forest, built a small but exquisite wooden house, and lived a life where the man plows and the woman weaves.

This...

Qin Yi rubbed his temples, is this the inner world of this silly girl Duan Yiyi? Is this her yearning for beauty?

It is so melodramatic, just how many fairy tales and cartoons has this silly girl watched?

Fairy tales are all lies, how could there be such a beautiful ending?

Seeing Duan Yiyi seriously creating defenses in front of the small house, Qin Yi almost laughed out loud, this silly girl’s mind is truly filled with all sorts of things, do you even know how to weave cloth? Yet you dare to assign yourself the identity of a weaving girl?

Silly girl, fairy tales are all lies, people must eventually return to reality.

There are still so many people waiting for you at home, so I must take you back.

Qin Yi’s gaze suddenly sharpened, he suddenly heard the urgent sound of horse hooves, able to hear the sound meant that what is happening now is something Duan Yiyi is currently experiencing.

The version of himself in the picture had returned from hunting.

Qin Yi’s figure flashed and disappeared from the original spot, rushing towards the sound of hooves, wanting to bring Duan Yiyi back, he must first destroy this self created in her dream world.

Am I going to kill myself?

Qin Yi smiled wryly, this girl really knows how to give him a headache.

The Qin Yi in Duan Yiyi’s world was spurring the horse along, several plump rabbits and other wild game hanging on the back, today’s haul was quite substantial.

But suddenly, a figure appeared ahead, blocking his path.

When this Qin Yi, imagined by Duan Yiyi, saw the appearance of this person, his eyes shrank harshly a few times, this person looked exactly like him.

"Who are you?" the other asked harshly.

Qin Yi smiled wryly: "I am you, and you are me. However, you are merely a figure conjured up by Yiyi."

The other’s eyes narrowed slightly, even the action of narrowing the eyes was exactly the same as Qin Yi himself, it seems that Duan Yiyi remembers every detail of Qin Yi.

"Ridiculous, you, an imposter conjured by a demon, dare to impersonate me."

Qin Yi slightly frowned, the other’s tone and demeanor were exactly the same as his, making him quite displeased.

"If you truly care for Yiyi, then you should let me take her back to the real world. There are many people still waiting for her at home."

A strange look suddenly appeared in the other’s eyes: "Are you talking about Xiaobing, Wan’er, Yiren..."

Qin Yi’s face slightly changed, "Yiyi even imparted all of this to you?"

"Surprised?" the other suddenly grinned wickedly, "Actually, I’ve been waiting for you."

"You know me?" Qin Yi said gravely.

The other chuckled sinisterly: "As much as Yiyi knows you, I know you."

"Nightmare?" Qin Yi’s complexion changed dramatically.

The other was full of grotesque smiles: "What nightmare? Actually, I’m the real Qin Yi, and you are the one imagined from Duan Yiyi’s inner world."

Qin Yi’s gaze became serious, this silly girl Duan Yiyi, actually endowed this person with complete thought. It turned him into a Nightmare. Nightmares are born from dreams, feed on dreams, grow stronger, and when the time is right, they can escape from the dream.

"In Yiyi’s heart, I am you, and you are me, so I understand you. I knew you’d enter the dream, so I’ve been waiting for you. Once I destroy you, I will fully take over your body. And you will forever be trapped in this imaginary world."

Qin Yi’s heart felt a sudden chill, it seemed he was right, the other had indeed evolved into a Nightmare, possessing independent thought.

Qin Yi said gravely: "Then you should know, Yiyi can eliminate you with just one thought."

The other chuckled sinisterly: "And you know well that Yiyi can also eliminate you with one thought. This is Yiyi’s inner world, she controls everything."

Qin Yi’s gaze turned entirely cold: "No need for Yiyi, I will eliminate you myself."

"Hahaha..." The other laughed wildly, "You probably don’t know, in Yiyi’s world, she has endowed me with so much, including that I am the strongest person."

Qin Yi’s face showed a trace of mockery: "Not necessarily? If you were the strongest, how could you be captured by that three-headed monstrous bird?"

The other’s expression froze instantly, his eyes fierce: "All of this is because of you. Because the deepest wish in Duan Yiyi’s heart is for you to be alive, but you died at the hands of the Vermilion Bird. So, she used this way to consolidate her belief that you are still alive. Only by rescuing you herself, will she believe that none of this is a dream."

Qin Yi laughed: "So, Yiyi knows that she is immersed in a dream, and you are just a character she imagined."

"You’re wrong! Before, she was indeed aware she was dreaming. But ever since she, no, it should be said ever since you were rescued from that three-headed monstrous bird, she has completely believed that all this is real. She totally deceives herself, a dream fulfilled, she can no longer wake up."

"Because, you are here, she firmly believes this is real. A world with you is the most real world."
