175: Chapter 177 The Bride in My Dreams - Pei Yuhan

"Here I come!" Ji Chanxi had already charged in front of Lin Kuang.

Lin Kuang just smiled slightly and didn't say a word.

This guy is so arrogant? Seeing that the opponent had no desire to attack, Ji Chanxi thought he was waiting for her to take the bait and stepped back a few paces.

Boom—

At that moment, the mineral vein behind them suddenly exploded, and the aftershock sent Ji Chanxi, who was in mid-air, flying.

Thud—

"Ouch—" Lin Kuang steadily caught Ji Chanxi and then glanced at her sideways.

Ji Chanxi suddenly felt a strange sensation, but she quickly snapped out of it, broke free from Lin Kuang's embrace, and said calmly.

"Is this what you wanted me to see?"

"As expected of the eldest Young Miss Ji, you're quite clever. There's a Restriction beneath the Spiritual Vein you're currently excavating. If you keep digging, even Xuanwu City might collapse!" Lin Kuang pointed at the smoking mineral vein.

"Eldest Young Miss Ji, you'd better think carefully! Is one Spiritual Vein more valuable, or an entire city?"

"What? Is that truly the case?" Ji Chanxi didn't care about much else; she was only there to help her brother supervise the work and hadn't investigated it thoroughly.

Ji Chanxi was originally from the Yin Yang Pavilion; she didn't care about others' interests at all, but she did care a bit about the interests of her own Yin Yang Pavilion.

She didn't want Xuanwu City to be blown up because of a single mineral vein. As for the ore inside, she wasn't short on money; even if she sold those things, it would only be pocket change.

Moreover, her brother had given her full authority, so this matter should be under her control.

"In that case, our challenge today is off. We'll talk again when there's another opportunity!" Having said that, she flew back in.

Seeing Ji Chanxi fly away, Yu Xiaotang landed beside Lin Kuang and said with a hint of anger, "Why do you care so much about those Yin Yang Pavilion people? Haven't they done enough bad things?"

"The one doing bad things is her father, not her, right?"

Yu Xiaotang stood with her hands on her hips, frowning as she said, "Dragons beget dragons, and phoenixes beget phoenixes. Her father is a beast, so she can't be much better!"

"Uh..." Lin Kuang was speechless; he hadn't expected the Yin Yang Pavilion's reputation to be so poor.

"I think so too. It would have been better to just let her blow up!" Xiao Rou shared the same view.

...

"Young Miss, you're back!" A Disciple of the Yin Yang Pavilion pointed at the Head of the Jin Family and said, "They aren't mining according to the route we planned!"

"As a result, they hit a Restriction!"

"Don't you go framing people! We're just in a partnership; I'll mine however I want!" The Head of the Jin Family said, refusing to back down.

"You!" The Yin Yang Pavilion Disciple was very angry. "Young Miss, the Restriction just now has already injured several brothers!"

"I think we should stop and investigate. What if there are more Restrictions?"

"Stop for what? Just hurry up and finish mining!" The Head of the Jin Family looked impatient because they had signed a daily settlement agreement and had to strive for the maximum benefit for his Family.

Ji Chanxi looked at the collapsed area. She didn't dare to gamble. If another Restriction destroyed the city, she could certainly escape unscathed, but the ordinary Yin Yang Pavilion Cultivators doing the mining and the many Cultivators in the city might not be so lucky!

So she chose to believe Lin Kuang and gave orders to everyone: "This spiritual mine cannot be mined anymore!"

"You're saying we stop? Just like that?" The Head of the Jin Family looked at Ji Chanxi in disbelief.

"What? Do you have an objection?" Ji Chanxi didn't even turn her head as she said coldly, "Or do you want to make an enemy of us?"

Hearing this, the Head of the Jin Family stopped talking and could only lead his people away silently. At that moment, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Yin Yang Pavilion also followed them out.

...

After Lin Kuang returned to the hot spring, he began to work on his Breakthrough. He entered his room early and finished the Medicinal Pills Yu Xiaotang had refined, preparing to break through.

Knowing that Lin Kuang was about to break through, Yu Xiaotang acted as his Protector, staying by his side the whole time.

Lin Kuang felt as if he had entered an illusion. In the dream, he was getting married. Large lanterns hung high outside the house, decorations were everywhere, candles burned in the room, and a large Double Happiness character was pasted in the center of the room.

On the bed sat a woman wearing a Red bridal veil. Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, her figure was very curvaceous, looking at least like a D-cup.

Lin Kuang was completely bewildered, but her shapely body made him curious enough to step forward and lift her veil. Just as the veil was lifted, he was stunned.

"Yuhan?" Lin Kuang never imagined in his dreams that his bride would be Pei Yuhan!

"Husband?" Pei Yuhan lowered her head bashfully, like a shy young girl. Lin Kuang had never seen her with such an expression.

However, her inner self hadn't changed at all as she said, "Husband, I want to eat Twin Spiritual Fruit!"

"Is this spiritual fruit a 'proper' spiritual fruit?" Lin Kuang smiled slightly, clearly knowing what kind of spiritual fruit she was talking about.

"Mm~ You're asking despite knowing the answer!" Pei Yuhan pouted slightly.

"My lady, let me feed you instead!" Lin Kuang thoughtfully brought the spiritual fruit to her lips.

Pei Yuhan's fair face was flushed red as she slightly opened her bright red lips and took a spiritual fruit into her mouth.

She chewed slightly, letting the juice of the spiritual fruit swirl in her mouth. This spiritual fruit was like the rock candy heart apples from Lin Kuang's world—rich in juice and sweet.

"Is it good?" Lin Kuang swallowed his saliva as he looked at the exquisite Red Crystal in front of Pei Yuhan.

"Husband, do you want to fleece me again?" Pei Yuhan also noticed Lin Kuang's gaze and handed over the Red Crystal. "Do you like it?"

"I do!" Lin Kuang took the Red Crystal, which still held a faint warmth.

He looked at Pei Yuhan, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a Phoenix-tail Coronet, and found her incredibly precious.

Lin Kuang could no longer hold back and pinned her down. Just as he was about to proceed with the next part of his plan...

Bang—

A loud noise woke him up. It was Ji Chanxi!

"What are you coming in here for? You're not welcome!" Yu Xiaotang pointed her sword at Ji Chanxi and said angrily.

"I'm here to help him break through!" Ji Chanxi gently pushed away Yu Xiaotang's longsword with her finger.

"Help him break through? Hasn't he already broken through!" Yu Xiaotang was confused; just moments ago, Lin Kuang had completed his Breakthrough.

"Breaking through to the fourth realm requires entering a dreamscape. He was clearly trapped in the dream just now. If not for me, he might have suffered a backlash!" Ji Chanxi smiled slightly and explained.

"If you don't believe me, ask him."

Yu Xiaotang was half-skeptical, but her gaze and sword did not leave Ji Chanxi.

"She's right, I was indeed trapped in a dream!" Lin Kuang also realized that the dream just now was likely a Heart Demon or something similar. If he had given in, his Breakthrough might have failed.

"What? Is Young Miss Ji here to settle things with me?" Lin Kuang originally wanted to say, "You wench, you ruined my illusion, you'd better stay in bed with me as compensation!"

But considering that Ji Chanxi's favorability wasn't that high yet, and forcing himself on her would trigger the protective Magic Treasure her father gave her, his attitude remained somewhat respectful.

"Thank you..."
