"You mean you dreamed of a super large flesh monster, and you felt like you should remember some things, but you can't remember them now, and these things are very important—is that right?" After hearing Ye Qiuhan's account, Qian Lin stroked her chin and nodded slightly. She generally understood the situation.
Firstly, Qian Lin could now definitively conclude that there was something unusual about Ye Qiuhan. This feeling of needing to remember something but being completely unable to recall it usually happens to those who are reincarnations of Great Experts.
In other words, this black-haired girl might be an Ancient Great Expert.
So what did she dream about? A monster composed entirely of flesh, countless mouths, a scene like the end of the world... Qian Lin rummaged through her memories, trying to find anything connected to this kind of monster.
After thinking it over, she could only lock onto the Blood Sea Sect as her target; a monster like that absolutely had to be connected to those guys from the Blood Sea Sect.
Talk about a coincidence—last night, Qian Lin had just injured someone from the Blood Sea Sect. It was already a certainty that there was an undercover agent from the Blood Sea Sect hidden within the academy.
So, the thing Ye Qiuhan dreamed about could basically be determined to have a connection with the Blood Sea Sect.
"You said you saw that monster destroying Honghu Academy?" More noteworthy, however, was another piece of information from Ye Qiuhan's dream.
That monster was destroying Honghu Academy.
Was this a premonition, or some kind of metaphor?
Qian Lin wasn't sure for now. In her previous life, she hadn't been attending Honghu Academy during this time; she had been acting as the Young Master of the Qian Family.
Could it be that Honghu Academy was actually incredibly dangerous during this period?
Doesn't that mean I've just left the tiger's den only to enter a wolf's lair?
Wow, Heavens, you don't have to be like this. Although the Cultivation Technique I practice is called the Heaven-Defying Art, I really never thought about defying you!
I'm your most obedient child!
"I think you'd better tell your Elders about this and have them stay alert."
"Mm, I will, but..." Ye Qiuhan paused, saying somewhat timidly, "I feel like... Senior Sister and the others might not be... reliable."
Your Senior Sister is in the Body Tempering Realm; if even she isn't reliable, who do you think is?
You? Or me?
Wait, why are you looking at me? You don't actually think I'm reliable, do you?
Qian Lin saw Ye Qiuhan staring straight at her and looked horrified. She hadn't come to Honghu Academy to be a hero who draws her sword to help the oppressed; could this mess just leave her out of it?
"Uh, I think, how about you call a Venerable over from your Sect? That way, nothing will definitely go wrong," Qian Lin suggested seriously.
"I'll tell Senior Sister, but I don't think we can just sit and wait for death. Qian Lin, you're so smart, you'll definitely be of great use," Ye Qiuhan said to Qian Lin with equal seriousness.
But I really don't want to get involved in this mess!
"Master and Senior Sister gave me quite a bit of pocket money before. If Qian Lin is willing to help me, I'll give it all to you."
"But I really don't want to... You know, the guy we're dealing with is a Demonic Path Cultivator a whole Rank higher than us." Qian Lin sighed. How much pocket money could a little kid have? She, Qian Lin, wouldn't risk her life for a measly pittance.
"It's over a thousand Spirit Stones!"
"Pfft! How many?!" Qian Lin's eyes widened. Over a thousand?!
And yet yesterday you were so stingy that you only pulled out five Spirit Stones to fool me?
Woman, thy name is hypocrisy!
"Say no more. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the scene of the crime. I don't believe that Demonic Path agent can escape my eyes." Qian Lin rubbed her hands together, preparing to pocket all of Ye Qiuhan's private savings.
While thinking about the happy life she'd lead after getting those thousand-plus Spirit Stones, Qian Lin planned to return to her own bed to rest and build her strength. But before she could move, Ye Qiuhan reached out and grabbed her hem.
What now? Qian Lin looked at Ye Qiuhan in confusion. Was something else wrong?
"Can you sleep with me tonight? I'm... a little scared..." Ye Qiuhan lowered her head and whispered very softly.
Ah, this... this put Qian Lin in a difficult spot. She wasn't used to huddling with others to sleep, but now Ye Qiuhan was gripping her clothes tightly and refusing to let go. Directly slapping Ye Qiuhan's hand away seemed a bit too cold-hearted.
This was her current big benefactor; she should at least wait until she got those thousand-plus Spirit Stones before turning her back on her.
Sigh, then she'd just accompany this Little Girl for a night. At most, she'd be held while sleeping; it wasn't anything she couldn't accept.
Sleeping with a cute girl was something the previous life's Qian Lin wouldn't have dared to imagine even in her dreams. Now that the opportunity was here, it would be a complete lie to say she didn't feel a tiny bit of secret joy.
Those thousand Spirit Stones were merely the reason she used to convince herself.
A Demon Supreme is also a hypocritical person.
Extinguishing the Spirit Stone Lamp in the room, Qian Lin crawled into Ye Qiuhan's blankets with a nervous heart. This was her first time sleeping with a girl in two lifetimes; what a memorable occasion.
See? When I was in the Demonic Path, I was chased day and night. Now that I'm in the Righteous Path, a Little Girl throws herself into my arms. Whoever wants to be a Demonic Path Cultivator can go right ahead!
As soon as Qian Lin crawled into the blankets, Ye Qiuhan quickly pressed close, tightly hugging Qian Lin's arm.
The faint fragrance of flowers caused the unease in Ye Qiuhan's heart to slowly dissipate. In the darkness, the girl beside her felt as reassuring as a towering lighthouse on the sea.
If only she could stay with me forever, Ye Qiuhan suddenly thought.
By the bright moonlight filtering in through the window, Ye Qiuhan carefully observed Qian Lin's profile. This white-haired girl was truly very cute, like a doll carved from ice and snow, completely without flaw.
If she could act a bit more cold and elegant normally, perhaps she would become famous very quickly.
"What are you looking at, Stupid Girl? Envying my beauty?" Sensing Ye Qiuhan's gaze, Qian Lin tilted her head to look at her, a hint of teasing in her pale blue eyes.
Ye Qiuhan gave a soft huff and, as if in a fit of pique, moved even closer to Qian Lin, wrapping her arms around her body and burying her head on Qian Lin's shoulder. "Humph, being so beautiful will make other girls jealous."
This child... Qian Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she pulled her arm out from Ye Qiuhan's grasp and placed it on the girl's head, slowly stroking it. "Alright, alright, don't be grumpy. Get some rest."
