Chapter 164: Chapter 163, Xu Wendong is outsmarted but ends up gaining a blessing in disguise

Xu Wendong was really panicking.

Previously, he had agreed to Yan Liuli only to encourage her to hold onto this dreamscape, but he never intended to become intimately close with Yan Liuli.

"So, do you want to go back on your word, and become a hypocrite?" Yan Liuli’s face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, seemingly angry, as thunder rumbled in the air.

Xu Wendong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Damn it!

You’re so powerful, what were you doing before?

Without much thought, he quickly said, "Ms. Yan, we’re all adults here, you should understand the difficulty I faced when I lied before, right? I was just forced into it."

Yan Liuli remained firm, "No, I don’t believe someone like you would break their promise."

"And then?" Xu Wendong nervously swallowed.

Yan Liuli’s lips curled up, "I want to be perfectly in sync with you, become inseparably close. I want to feel your heat."

Xu Wendong was creeped out by her gaze, but he pretended to remain calm, saying, "If you really want that, let’s go back to reality."

What else could Xu Wendong do?

He could only stall for time because once back in reality, he wouldn’t have to fear her, thinking that Yan Liuli, a frail woman, wasn’t a match for him.

His thoughts were optimistic, but Yan Liuli showed a sly smile, "Xu Wendong, you are indeed clever, but don’t think I’m a fool, okay?"

"Do you think I can’t see through your plan? You want to leave my dreamscape and escape, because even if I wanted to reach you after that, I wouldn’t be able to do anything."

"Sorry, but your plan is going to fail."

Saying this, she slowly closed her eyes.

The next moment.

Xu Wendong was shocked to find his body bound in the void, uncontrollably lying flat, with a pure white cloud appearing below him like a bed.

Then, Yan Liuli walked over with a mad look in her eyes and a playful smile, "You said this is my dreamscape, here, I am the absolute ruler. I can do whatever I like!"

"And right now, what I most want to ’sit’ on is you, Xu Wendong."

"Cry out, shout as much as you want!"

"Even if you shout till your throat is sore, no one can save you!"

"Beast, let go of me!"

Xu Wendong screamed shrilly as he struggled desperately, hoping to break free from Yan Liuli’s grip, but underestimated her mastery in shaping dreamscapes.

And underestimated her determination to have him.

Even if he screamed till his throat was sore, it was of no use...

He could only watch as he sank deeper into the heart of Taoyuan...

Then all sanity and reservations were swallowed up.

------

At half past nine in the evening.

Xu Wendong got dressed and left Yan Liuli’s home in a rage.

He was clearly there to save her.

Who would have thought Yan Liuli would repay kindness with enmity, forcing him to do such things?

Although it happened in a dreamscape, for him, it felt completely real.

That too became a part of his memory.

------

"Mom, how are you doing?" After Xu Wendong left, Yan Shuangshuang immediately went to her mother’s bedroom and saw her mother lying there, flushed and seemingly intoxicated.

On the bedsheet in front of her, there was a watery patch with a strange smell.

Yan Liuli smiled radiantly, "I’m doing great, never better. All right, you head out, I need to rest."

"Oh!" Yan Shuangshuang agreed and left the room.

Yan Liuli got up and walked to the window, looking at the branches swaying in the night breeze, her face showing a hint of shame, "How could I force Doctor Xu to do such things in my dreams!"

"He’s clearly my benefactor, and I repay kindness with enmity!"

"Why was I so uninhibited in my dreams?"

"I’m clearly not like this!"

"Is the person in my dream really me?"

"Will Doctor Xu blame me?"

Yan Liuli felt conflicted, although the dream brought her joy, returning to reality made her feel guilty towards Xu Wendong.

------

Back at Villa No. 95, Lin Yiren and Huang Ruirui were watching TV while waiting for him because they knew Xu Wendong wouldn’t return for dinner, so they had already eaten.

Seeing Xu Wendong return with a weary face, the two women kindly prepared slippers and a fruit plate.

Xu Wendong hid the negative feelings stirred up by Yan Liuli deep in his heart. He didn’t want to worry his sister-in-law and Sister Ruirui with his dissatisfaction.

"You watch some TV first, I’ll draw you a bath. Take a good soak and have a good night’s sleep. You’ll be energetic by morning!" Lin Yiren was gentle and considerate.

After preparing the bathwater, the two women didn’t disturb Xu Wendong, giving him quiet space to relax in the tub.

Xu Wendong lay quietly in the bathtub, sensing the changes in his body. Although he was upset about being taken by Yan Liuli in her dreamscape, there was transformation in his body... no, accurately speaking, in his soul.

This time he could feel the wind and grass within a hundred meters, sense raindrops hitting leaves, and feel the vibrations of rainwater hitting the ground.

"Is this the Earth Pulse?"

Xu Wendong couldn’t stay calm because he knew that only by reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage could a cultivator perceive the Earth Pulse, a Divine Skill at that stage used to lay a solid Dao Foundation.

Yet he was currently just at the Yin-Cultivating Realm, far off from the Foundation Establishment stage big league, still lacking the Qi Refinement stage!

"Is it because of the soul fusion with Yan Liuli?"

Xu Wendong furrowed his brows. Although he had just broken through and improved his Soul Force slightly, it was nowhere near as terrifying as it was now!

"That must be it!"

"It must be because of the union with Yan Liuli, after all, that bald old man said before, Yan Liuli was his cauldron, and now I’ve stolen his achievement."

"Is this a blessing in disguise?"

Thinking about it, Xu Wendong let out a faint bitter smile.

Although what happened was an utter humiliation for him, one could say being taken by a mature beauty was exhilarating.

What’s more, his Soul Force had transformed.

For he knew that cultivation was tough, as hard as climbing to heaven, with many stuck in a stage until their end. Though his power hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment Phase, nor had he become a major player there.

Yet his Soul Force had reached the Foundation Establishment Phase, which was definitely good news, at least his cultivation level would reach there, and he wouldn’t have to worry about stagnation ahead of time.

This swept away his previous unhappiness. After soaking for almost twenty minutes, he quickly showered, wrapped a towel around himself, and energetically walked out of the bathroom.

But when he entered the bedroom, the sight before him made his heart abruptly stop...
