Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 793: Chapter 112: Hidden Depths

"Yezi, don’t rush, take a rest first," Despite the help of the Star Rhinoceros Stone, Yezi still found manipulating Dream Beasts to be very draining on the spirit. Xiao Xian knew from her own experience that excessive use of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors could lead to complete depletion of Spiritual Power and result in a state of total weakness. Yezi was not a Cultivator; he relied solely on his excellent physical fitness to operate the Star Rhinoceros Ring. Looking at him, one could tell he must be tired.

"I’m fine, I can still go on," Yezi spoke for the first time since their chance encounter, asking to be of help. Moreover, with Zhou Ziang present, who was waiting for a chance to see him embarrassed, Yezi certainly didn’t want to lose face in front of others.

Muttering under his breath, he once again spurred the Dream Beast to try once more. The white aura surrounding Xiao Que grew more intense, and Yezi cast aside any distracting thoughts. This time, he felt different; it was as if he had left his own body and his consciousness had entered Xiao Que’s.

Integration? Yezi was startled; he had somehow become one with the Dream Beast.

When Fiji had given him the Star Rhinoceros Ring, he said that Beast Taming had its own hierarchy: the most basic level was making beasts submit to human command, and the next level was the ability to attach one’s consciousness to a spiritual beast. Fiji had been in a rush when he explained this, and Yezi hadn’t had the opportunity to ask in detail. Unexpectedly, two years after obtaining the Star Rhinoceros Ring, while reading someone’s dreams, he had this breakthrough.

Although he was pleasantly surprised, Yezi was aware that this was a crucial moment in dream reading and dared not let his mind wander. He quickly gathered his thoughts, better merging his consciousness with that of the Dream Beast.

In the realm of dreams, the ground beneath him was nonexistent. Yezi felt as though he was riding on clouds, wandering through the fog. He walked, stopped, and resumed walking, unsure of where he was heading. There was no direction, even time seemed to have frozen.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Yezi could no longer remember how long he had been walking. Worried that Xiao Xian might be anxiously waiting outside, he thought that if the scenery around him remained unchanged after a little more walking, he would command the Dream Beast to take him out of the dream realm.

As his thoughts abruptly shifted, the mist beside him churned and transformed. Something seemed to be revealing itself in front of him, a vaguely discernible egg-shaped object that trembled intermittently.

"Who are you?" Yezi extended his hand to push away the obscuring mist, but as his fingers touched the illusory fog, his body was pushed away by an unexpectedly powerful repulsive force.

"Danger, leave quickly," a female voice warned within Yezi’s consciousness.

Retreating quickly, upon regaining consciousness, Yezi found himself lying on the ground. It felt as though thousands of bees were buzzing in his head. He fought down the discomfort in his body and retracted the Dream Beast, as the Star Rhinoceros Stone emitted a dazzling light.

"!!" Yezi’s body swayed a few times. When the Dream Beast was repelled, the Spiritual Sense of a person is the most precious thing. Although Mei Nian was completely incapacitated, when she felt two different intentions entering Xiao Que’s body, she immediately reacted.

Different from the fragile will of Xu Lan Ya when she was drunk, supported by a strong survival instinct due to her physical limitations, Mei Nian’s consciousness had grown unprecedentedly strong. There were still a large number of ginseng spirit baby roots left in Xiao Que’s body; if Yezi went any deeper, it would only be more dangerous.

"Not good, he seems to be under attack," Yezi felt someone helping him up—the support was steady; it was that annoying cold-faced man. Why would he be so kind-hearted? It must be because he wanted to show off in front of Xiao Xian. I will not play along with his intentions. Yezi tried to shrug off Zhou Ziang’s help, but he had been forcefully ejected from Xiao Que’s dream realm, and the damage to his consciousness was extraordinary.

If one were to use a metaphor, Yezi’s current condition was like having a knife violently stabbed into his chest; his life (consciousness) hung by a thread, and his body also suffered. In such a state, how could he resist?

Xiao Xian anxiously called out Yezi’s name in a low voice.

Zhou Ziang checked Yezi’s eyelids and listened to the frequency of his breaths and heartbeat.

Yezi’s breathing was erratic, his heartbeat pounding uncontrollably.

After a moment, he felt a cold needle being inserted into his wrist, piercing his skin without causing any pain. A cold liquid was injected into his body, and his heartbeat gradually returned to normal, though his body still felt very tired.

Xiao Xian’s and Little Pig’s voices alternated beside his ear.

His hand was held, "Yezi, are you okay? Don’t scare me," Xiao Xian’s voice was unusually frail.

He moved his lips as much as he could, wanting to tell Xiao Xian: "I’m okay, silly girl. I’m the invincible Yezi; don’t be scared. I’ll get better soon, just let me sleep it off. Tomorrow, I’ll be back lively and kicking."

"Stupid Yezi, you even risk your life for a girl," came Little Pig’s scolding voice, "You’re really courting death. You haven’t learned to walk steadily, and yet you want to run. You dared to do something as dangerous as spiritual consciousness embodiment."

"Let him rest," a deep male voice ordered, and then the voices of Xiao Xian and Little Pig disappeared.

His body felt like it was violently struck, flung high up, and then bounced out.

No, I must tell Xiao Xian about that girl’s body... Yezi could hear his own voice: "There is someone else inside, not the little girl." After that, he fell into unconsciousness.

Both Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang were stunned when they heard these words while standing vigilantly by the bed.

Whether Yezi’s words were just delirium or nonsense was a mystery, but unfortunately, after he spoke, he lost consciousness.

With Xiao Que’s issue still unresolved, Zhou Ziang was now also faced with Yezi’s trouble.

The shock in Xiao Xian’s eyes lingered only for a moment. After settling Little Pig down, her eyes were filled with a measure of understanding.
