Chapter 174: CH 174

Who would have thought that one day Xie QianLan would trap himself within an illusion?

The ability of the Dream Beast was not unlimited. The more times you encounter it, the stronger your resistance to it will be. Coupled with Xie QianLan’s strong mental ability, even the Dream Beast would not be able to withstand it.

That’s why the sky was full of stars.

Originally, one would fall into an illusion if one touched a single star but now such a huge amount, like an entire milky way, was needed.

But even so… Xie QianLan should originally be a person who will never get drunk and should have always maintained a cruel calm.

So how has he been living in these past thousand years? This scene alone makes one afraid to think too deeply about it.

Chu MuYun couldn’t see his fantasy but he could imagine it.

A brief four years was expanded into a thousand years of memories. Like flowers in full bloom, even if they are washed away by the torrent of time, each petal becomes a small boat, carrying a little sweetness and bitterness, a little sweetness and sourness, constantly multiplying and growing.

All the abilities of the Dream Beast were focused on Xie QianLan so even if Chu MuYun approached, he did not step into the illusion.

But it’s just that the sky full of stars was still a little disorentating and so, as he stepped out, he seemed to be in a trance, catching the glimmers of an illusion. 

It was so unreal that the fakeness can be seen at a glance.

The moon was like water and the stars were like waterfalls, but he seemed to be standing on a higher place. When he leaned over, he saw chaos, and when he looked up, he saw emptiness. 

A familiar feeling arose. Chu MuYun frowned uncomfortably and soon he saw the figure.

It was indistinct and seemed to be Xie QianLan but at the same time didn’t seem to be him.

Chu MuYun walked forward and, while he was in a trance, someone seemed to be approaching him. He raised his head slightly and their lips naturally touched each other.

It was followed by a very gentle kiss, tender to the point of being almost devout. The man’s palm was attached to his ear, the fiery temperature with an extremely meticulous and trembling, as if he was afraid that it would annoy him if he tried too hard and that he would lose him if it was too light. 

A kiss, a subtle movement, but Chu MuYun instantly felt his intentions.

It was the feeling of wanting to possess him wantonly but not wanting to lose him because of it. A want to invade him madly but at the same time fear that it would push him further and further away. The entanglement of desire and reason, and the extreme contradictions have created a terrible paranoia.

And under this obsession was a cautious, almost humble heart.

Chu MuYun did not push him away. Whether it’s an illusion or a real thing, at this moment, he touched a trace of what he longed for.

Jun Mo woke up from a nightmare and, when he sat up, there was cold sweat on his forehead. He looked around and there was no one there.

Ah-Mu was not here.

Ah-Mu…

The last image he remembered before passing out pierced through his heart like a sharp sword. He stood up abruptly, without his coat or shoes on, and walked out like this.

The night outside the tent was heavy and the moon seemed to be blocked by the thick fog. The light pouring down was so weak that it was almost impossible to detect— such a dim night made the only light extremely conspicuous.

Jun Mo’s heart skipped a beat and he vaguely saw two figures.

Yes, at the last moment Xie QianLan appeared and saved them.

Xie QianLan… Jun Mo couldn’t help clenching his palm.

He walked over step by step and, in the silver light that seemed to fall to the ground, he could clearly see the two people embracing each other.

The red-clothed man bowed his head slightly, his posture was gentle, and his raised eyebrows overflowed with an ocean-like affection that could drown people but the person he kissed did not resist, just looked at him so directly. His pair of black eyes completely reflected this person.

Jun Mo stopped abruptly as if heavy lead had been poured into his chest, the suffocation that imprisoned his heart had a terrifyingly insane power.

This was not the first time he had seen this scene. In the WanXiang Palace, Shen Yun and Xie QianLan had been almost inseparable. He has seen the scene of the two of them  kissing many times.

At that time, he was envious, envied Xie QianLan for having a lover like Shen Yun, and envied their love that was more precious than gold, and even envied more the love that was only for each other.

But later Shen Yun left and Jun Mo learned the truth from Shen ShuiYan, and learned that the sweetness of the WanXiang Palace was all just a mirage.

It was Xie QianLan who deceived Shen Yun, tortured him, insulted him, and even ruined his only relationship. In the end, he even tried to “sneak in and change the master of the home” and, as a result… he was discovered.

But he still wanted to fight for Shen Yun but what qualifications did he have? After doing so many wrong things, what qualifications did he have?

Until… Shen Yun died.

Jun Mo knew that Shen Yun used the sacrificial formation in exchange for Xie QianLan’s life. But that also meant that the person who killed Shen Yun was Xie QianLan!

Without him, why would Shen Yun have to suffer so much? Without him, how could Shen Yun be lost, confused and caught in a dilemma? Without him, how could Shen Yun die?

Therefore, Jun Mo didn’t like Xie QianLan. It wasn’t so far as hatred – he didn’t have the right – but he truly disliked him.

And now… looking at this familiar scene, Jun Mo also felt a great panic after feeling the heart-piercing pain.

Will the old events repeat themselves? Will Xie QianLan take away his Ah-Mu too?

—Ah-Mu, why didn’t you push him away?

Jun Mo didn’t dare to think about the answer behind this question.

Shen ShuiYan told him that Xie QianLan was good at deceiving people. At that time, he and Shen Yun had a deep relationship but in the end, Xie QianLan forcibly took Shen Yun away.

Jun Mo knew exactly what kind of temperament Shen Yun had. If such a person really fell in love with someone, he would definitely stay constant until his death.

But Xie QianLan managed to make him fall in love with him in the end.

Even to the extent of dying for him.

Jun Mo didn’t dare get any closer. He turned around silently and walked back to the tent slowly.

— He can’t be misled, he has to trust in Ah-Mu.

Thinking like this, he was so lost that his bare feet were cut by sharp stones and blood flowed out without him realizing it.

It was Xie QianLan who let go of Chu MuYun first and both of their breathing was a little disordered. Chu MuYun’s eyes when looking at him were clearly out of focus, it was obvious he was fascinated by an illusion.

Xie QianLan raised his hand and took back the Dream Beast, leaving the surroundings shrouded in darkness.

Chu MuYun suddenly came to his senses and, when he realized what he had done, his face was a little flustered.

Xie QianLan said: “I have offended.”

Chu MuYun: “…”

Xie QianLan sighed, raised her hand and called out the Dream Beast and pointed at the white and fluffy creature. He said, “He is my beast, his ability is to create an illusion. The silver mist just now is its technique. You approached unintentionally and became confused.”

Chu MuYun breathed a sigh of relief and whispered softly, “So…that’s how it is.”

Xie QianLan stared at his rosy lips and smiled: “Do you think of me as Jun Mo?”

Chu MuYun knew the reason so he was no longer rigid. He admitted with an easy smile: “Yes, I’ve recognized the wrong person.”

Xie QianLan was startled then continued to lower his eyes slightly, before smiling.

Chu MuYun noticed the bitterness beneath his smile, and after a little thought, he understood.

He looked at him with worry: “In the illusion… did you see Shen Yun?”

Xie QianLan shook his head, neither saying yes or no.

Chu MuYun hesitated for a while. He realized his question was a bit out of line, involving someone else’s private or embarrassing matters, most people would not want to talk about it.

Xie QianLan said abruptly: “What you see in the illusion can’t be taken seriously.”
