535: Dreams Are So Amazing

Grandfather Feng and Father Feng watched as a woman ran straight to where all the lightning bolts were most dense. The rain was heavy enough that they couldn’t make out who it was, but they reflexively went to stop her.

Father Feng made the first move, reaching out to clasp her on the shoulders, thinking it would be enough to force her stop. But the moment he touched her, his hand was repelled violently and he was forced to take several steps back before finding his balance.

The sight made Grandfather Feng rush forward even quicker. He tried to stop her with qi, but the force he shot at her bounced back and hit him. Fortunately, the power he put into the shot was only meant to stop someone and not kill them, so though he had to take several steps back, he was uninjured.

Madam Qui, her son and many others arrived just in time to witness Grandfather Feng being forced back and Shui leaping up as a bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky.

Ming Xi, who had been following close behind, naturally saw what happened. When it looked like no one could do anything, he threw out a defensive item to block the lightning. It was a rare item made by an old master whose every work was a world treasure. In fact, the Moon emperor, who had purchased it for Ming Xi to use as a personal protection item, was only able to buy it because he sincerely asked for it.

Though Ming Xi’s item was a rare treasure, it could not withstand the lightning indefinitely. Hairline cracks began to form after several lightning strikes. It was clear it would not last long. At this time, Madam Qui and Bai tossed their own magic weapons forward as well. Shui was protected by their weapons after Ming Xi’s item failed, so she only suffered minimal damage, but everyone knew it wasn’t a viable tactic in the long term. They couldn’t continue to throw magic weapons and items to keep her protected forever.

Shui’s death would be inevitable if they couldn’t deal with the root of the problem.

“Mom, big brother, I don’t want to die! Help me!” Shui regained her senses after being hit by a bolt of lightning. She didn’t know how she had ended up outside Feng Wu’s room and out in the courtyard. By the time she woke up, she was like this.

Shui nearly fainted from fright. She was pampered growing up and had never seen such a fierce battle before. The only thing she could think of doing was to keep asking her family for help. No one had to tell her how dangerous her situation was. She could tell!

She was afraid she would really die, and she did not want to die!

How could her mother and brother not want to save her? It was just that they didn’t know how. The normally stoic Madam Qui wiped tears off her face. There wasn’t anything she could do but watch one lightning bolt after another strike Shui.

Meanwhile, a woman dressed in green stood on top of Qui mountain smiling sweetly as she watched lightning congregate over the Feng estate. She was in a good mood.

“Soon, only one more and we will be able to reunite at last.”

Thunder and lightning continued through the night and didn’t dissipate until dawn lit the sky. It was a strange storm that dispersed as suddenly as it appeared.

The Feng family had done their best to keep Shui safe and had used more than forty magic items to keep her alive. It was a lot of items, and they were not going to eat such a loss for free. They would settle the account with the head of Qui house as soon as he returned.

Though Shui managed to survive the hellish ordeal, it was uncertain how long she would be able to stay alive.

The previous night left everyone in the Feng estate panicked. Everything about last night was strange, especially the lightning and thunder. If the servants hadn’t been warned beforehand not to leave their rooms, they would have rushed out to see the situation.

Juntian had stayed with Feng Wu in her room and had told her not to worry about what was going on outside; she only needed to worry about getting a good night’s rest.

So that night, Feng Wu slept soundly with Little Bun hugged to her chest. The sound of lightning and thunder didn’t bother her at all because she blocked her ears with qi.

When Feng Wu woke up the next morning, it wasn’t Little Bun or Juntian that she saw, but Ming Xi – the person she’d been missing the entire time!

Feng Wu blinked her eyes then rubbed them with her hands. “Dream?” Was she still asleep?

Ming Xi pulled her hand down and asked, “Would a dream hurt?” and gently pinched her cheeks. He didn’t want to hurt her, so of course he pinched her very lightly.

“It doesn’t hurt,” Feng Wu declared. “I am dreaming!”

Having come to her conclusion, Feng Wu stared dreamily at Ming Xi. She had dreamt of Ming Xi before, but this Ming Xi felt so real.

“What a real dream.” Feng Wu said after smooshing her hands all over Ming Xi’s face.

“Do you want a kiss?” Ming Xi teased.

Kiss? Feng Wu thought about Ming Xi touching her lips before and the tingling feeling she got. Did she want a kiss?

Feng Wu was hesitant for a moment, but quickly made up her mind.

“I want a kiss.” She nodded, her eyes very serious.

Ming Xi was amused. He leaned forward and brought his face closer to hers.

Feng Wu pouted her lips and smooched him on the lips. She wanted to back away right after, but Ming Xi locked his arms around her and deepened the kiss.

And thus was Feng Wu kissed until she was dizzy and she secretly thought to herself: What an amazing dream!
