C24 Back to Rebirth

Ruojie laughed as he made a silencing gesture to Yun Yan. After that, he looked around the place mysteriously before he said in a low voice, "Don't let others know. This is a secret."

Yun Yan had a look of disdain on his face. "This secret, it seems that other than you, no one else wants to know."

Ruojie curled his lips and said, "Why are you always so straightforward?"

The sky gradually darkened. Ruojie pointed at the inn in front of them and said, "Can we stay there tonight?"

Yun Yan nodded casually and said, "As long as there is food to eat and a place to stay, I don't care where I stay."

Ruojie put his arm around Yun Yan's shoulder and walked towards the inn.

The lanterns at the entrance of the inn had already lit up. Ruojie felt that the lanterns looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before. However, he couldn't remember exactly where they were. He had lived in this world for nearly ten thousand years, and had walked through too many places.

Yun Yan finally lost his patience and threw down the hand that was on her shoulder. Ruojie looked at Yun Yan and Yun Yan coughed lightly. "About that, I've said it before. I'm not used to it."

Ruojie leaned closer and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not a man with a broken sleeve. I'm a real man."

Yun Yan thought to himself, "I'm a real lady. I stay so close to you every day. What do I look like?"

The corner of Yun Yan's mouth twitched. The two of them finally walked into the inn. There were some candles lit up in the inn. Unlike the Past Life Inn, the inn was bright and there were some customers eating and drinking tea.

The waiter welcomed the two warmly. Ruojie took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter. The waiter smiled happily. Ruojie said, "One room is for the best."

If it was in the past, Ruojie would probably have booked the entire inn. After the incident at the Past Life Inn, he felt that the place was too noisy and too quiet. It was unavoidable for it to be filled with ghosts and beasts.

Yun Yan said, "Why one?"

Ruojie leaned closer to Yun Yan and grabbed her arm. She said, "Because... I'm afraid."

Yun Yan held back her laughter. A white tiger demon actually feared ghosts. However, Yun Yan refused, "But I can't sleep with others."

Ruojie looked at Yun Yan pleadingly. Yun Yan was embarrassed to be stared at by him. Ruojie pestered her, "At most, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

Yun Yan saw that a noble young master of the Demon Realm was willing to sleep on the floor in fear. Furthermore, he was the one who paid for it. It was not good for Yun Yan to say anything, so he could only nod and agree, "I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor."

When Ruojie heard that Yun Yan had relaxed and was about to embrace her again, she was dodged by Yun Yan. He awkwardly turned his arm around and patted it lightly.

The waiter led the two guests to the guest room. The room was very big and clean. The bed was also very big. Ruojie walked to the bed and looked at it with some disdain. "What is this? Why is the bed so hard?"

The waiter quickly said, "Sir, if you feel that the bed is too hard, I'll add more bedding for you later."

Ruojie nodded reluctantly and said, "I can barely sleep."

Yun Yan thought about how he had slept in the room filled with straw in the Past Life Inn the day before, and he had slept soundly. She also thought that a noble young master like him would definitely be very particular about such an environment, and he must have felt very wronged to be able to endure such an environment.

Ruojie turned around and laid on the bed, stretching his body. Then, he patted the empty seat beside him and said to Yun Yan, "Do you want to come over and lie down with me?"

Yun Yan leaned against the table with his arms crossed. "Who said that I can sleep on the bed and you can sleep on the floor?"

Ruojie turned around and laid on the side. She propped her head with one hand and looked at Yun Yan with seductive eyes as she said, "Look, this place is so big, and the floor is so hard. Besides, we're both men. What are you afraid of?"

As she spoke, Yun Yan pretended to be angry and was about to walk out of the door. Ruojie rushed over and pulled her back. She smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'm just joking with you. Why are you cultivators so troublesome?"

Yun Yan turned around and walked back to the bed. He patted the bed that Ruojie had just laid on and then laid down on it.

It was getting late. Yun Yan, who hadn't had a good rest for a few days, was very tired. Soon, she entered a deep dream. In her dream, she saw her master and Qiyue sitting under the thousand-year-old Harmonious Tree in the courtyard of Celestial Jade Mountain. The pink clouds hid between the green leaves, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

Qiyue held a cup of tea and smiled as she looked at her. She waved her hand to call her over. Yun Yan also smiled at him and was about to walk towards his side, but he felt extremely cold. She wrapped herself tightly in her clothes and tried her best to walk towards Qiyue, but the tree was there, and her master and Qiyue were also there. However, Yun Yan was unable to approach them no matter what. After that, her vision started to become blurry, and everything in front of her was like a reflection in the water, blurry and distorted.

Then, there was a landslide. Yun Yan suddenly sat up. The sleeping Ruojie on the floor had already quickly moved to her side and said with a trembling voice, "What happened?"

Yun Yan waved her hand and conjured a small lantern. The small lantern was not big, but it was enough to illuminate the entire room. This light did not matter, but when they saw everything in the room clearly, they were so shocked that they almost dropped the lantern in their hands.

They had actually returned to the Past Life Inn and the room filled with straw. Ruojie could not help but cry out in shock. She looked at Yun Yan and said, "What exactly happened?"

Then, the creepy voice rang in their ears again. "How is it? Did you have a good dream today?"

Ruojie and Yun Yan looked at each other in disbelief. Ruojie said, "Could it be that we didn't escape at all?"

Yun Yan shook his head uncertainly. "Could it be that what we experienced before was not real?"

Ruojie scratched his head hard and carefully recalled everything that happened yesterday. They ran out of the Past Life Inn after digging a hole, and then went down the mountain into the small town. They even had a big meal in a restaurant in the small town, and then they went shopping in boredom. They entered the casino and met the big man and the skinny man who were gambling. The big man lost and broke one of his fingers. Ruojie looked at his clothes. There was still a drop of dark blood on his clothes. That's right. It was the blood that the big man accidentally splashed on him when he cut his finger yesterday. Ruojie still despised it for a long time.

If the blood on his body was real, then they should have really escaped. But at this moment, he was so hungry that he didn't look like he had just eaten a full meal. Yun Yan was also thinking about it. Her face was filled with disbelief, and then she quickly flipped open her Cosmos Bag and searched for a long time in it.

Ruojie said, "Yun Yan, what are you looking for?"

Yun Yan said, "Little rabbit, you bought the little rabbit and the little tiger for me."

Ruojie placed all his hopes on Yun Yan, and Yun Yan placed all his hopes on these two small clay sculptures. If these two clay sculptures were really there, it would prove that they had once escaped.
