Kirin found herself in a dilemma.
Why did every word that this Demon Sect Holy Saint uttered make sense when it's spread individually, but when strung together, she couldn't understand the meaning at all?
The Empress's hidden biological sister? Herself?
She had never thought that one day, someone would mistake her Mortal Alter Ego as the younger sister of her Imperial Alter Ego.
However, Luo Wusheng's self-talk hadn't ended yet.
"Ah, damn it, it's all my Master's fault for making me do this, to think that he would insist that I marry the Empress's sister and bring her back to the Demon Sect before leaving the Sect. It led me to pay too much attention to her, that's why I had a dream of confessing to her just now..."
Luo Wusheng sighed as if lamenting.
But what he was lamenting wasn't what he was saying out loud.
It was that he had basically confirmed that Miss Kirin was indeed the Empress's Mortal Alter Ego.
Though she was doing her best to hide her abnormality, the information he had thrown out was quite astounding. It was quite evident that her composure had been disrupted to some extent.
In other words, it was quite probable that his dream really was intruded upon by Miss Kirin.
As for the words he was saying now...
Well, those were meant to patch up his unusual behavior in the dream earlier.
The fact that he unexplainably confessed his love to her within his heart needed to be smoothed over, or it could easily make Miss Kirin feel uneasy.
As he said before, the affinity between him and Miss Kirin hadn't reached that level yet.
So, he came up with a fairly decent excuse.
It was just a bit unfair to the Master who was getting the blame.
Hearing Luo Wusheng's word, Miss Kirin blinked slightly.
In other words, this Demon Sect Holy Saint has been paying attention to her because of that Demon Sect Master?
Because that Demon Sect Master mentioned that the Immortal Nation's Empress had a hidden sister, the Demon Sect Holy Saint who received that information from his Master tried to ascertain who the Empress's sister was, and through various deductions and suspicions, ended up suspecting it's her?
And because that Demon Sect Master wanted him to marry the non-existent Empress's sister, he ended up acting the way he did in the previous dream?
Miss Kirin understood.
'But why would the Demon Sect Master do this?'
She felt that the Demon Sect Master must have already known that the Empress of the Immortal Nation was a disciple of the Taoist sect and had cultivated the Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States.
Given the Demon Sect Master's is at the Peak Tribulation Crossing stage cultivation and have the peculiar mystic arts passed down through the ancient human race's Three Sect, it wouldn't be surprising if he had gleaned some hidden knowledge of the working of the world.
Even the original founder of the Heavenly Divination Tower was rumored to be a disciple who had left the Demon Sect and established her own school. This made the probability of high-grade Heavenly Mechanism Reading Art within the Demon Sect quite high.
But, Sister?
Why would that Demon Sect Master mislead his disciple like this?
Wait.
Miss Kirin quickly understood the reason behind this.
The fact that she had cultivated the Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States was something that are highly guarded, even within the Taoist sect, not many who know of it.
'Well, since it's his own direct disciple that's coming to the Royal City, it was quite reasonable to assume that he just simply reminded his disciple to pay attention to matters related to the Monarch of the Immortal Nation, but it still feels like something's not right.'
Well, in her current situation, things were actually aligning with her intentions. As long as this Demon Sect Holy Saint still believed that she might be the Empress's sister, the information of her cultivating the Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States technique wouldn't be revealed to him. Her greatest secret was still safe.
What's more concerning was the current situation.
If she lets the other party sense her abnormality and realize the Synthesized Dream Convergence Technique, given this Demon Sect disciple's powerful deductive ability, he might actually link it to her having cultivated the Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States technique.
Luckily, she was able to control the dream slightly through the Synthesized Dream Convergence Technique, so it shouldn't result in such an issue.
Moreover, it seemed that the other party hadn't noticed her earlier reaction.
With this thought, she quietly sighed in relief.
If news of her had cultivated the Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States technique to perfection were to spread, it would bring her immense trouble. Unless it's someone she trusted deeply, she wouldn't want anyone else to know.
Although Luo Wusheng had helped her a few times and seemed to bear no ill will toward the Immortal Nation, they had only known each other for half a month. They had barely interacted during that time...
However...
Feeling the coldness coming from her right wrist, Miss Kirin couldn't help but recall the scene when he gave her the jade bracelet at the beginning.
Once she left the dream, the Star-Moon Jade bracelet he had given her would disappear, and the young man before her would consider it a fleeting dream.
'Yes, this is just a dream...'
Next, all she had to do was change the course of this dream, and then wait for the effects of the Synthesized Dream Convergence Technique to wear off...
"Speaking of which, it's been some time since the last time I was awake in my own dream. I wonder if the dream manipulation technique is still effective."
"???"
Just as Miss Kirin was about to alter the dream scene, she paused.
He can manipulate the dream while being awake in it?
"Let me think... The scene is quite boring, so let's change it to the scene of the Royal City market during the night."
"It's not very exciting to wander through the market alone. Since I dreamed of Miss Kirin tonight, and since it's a dream, it would be nice to explore the market together with her, right?"
The Demon Sect Holy Saint said so, but after snapping his fingers, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Huh? Why isn't it working? Could there be something odd about tonight's dream?"
...
Inside the residence, in Luo Wusheng's room.
A cute pink little fox with one fluffy tail emitted a faint glow.
Under the influence of a mysterious power, those glows converged, hovering in the air, forming peculiar characters.
Eventually, these characters formed an illusory letter, which slowly drifted out of the window.
'This way, Xiao Guai and the others shouldn't worry about me anymore...'
The little pink fox looked at the dissipating letter that was gradually moving away, and her tail swayed gently.
Beside that single fluffy tail, there was another tail, but this one is more like an illusion, it's only faintly visible.
'For now, I need some rest. Once I solidify three of my tails again, my Humanoid Form should already be strong enough to handle consuming the Netherkin Monarch Pill...'
At that time, she should have enough strength to return to the Netherland safely.
Despite thinking of something that should make her happy, there was no joy in her heart, but rather a sense of complexity. She couldn't help but let out a sigh-like whimper.
With a light leap, her small body landed on the bed.
Luo Wusheng, who had originally been unable to sleep due to sudden drowsiness, now lay there quite obediently, covered by a thin blanket.
The little fox observed the sleeping youth, tilting her head in curiosity.
She wondered what this "Young Master" was dreaming about, as his face was adorned with an unusually excited smile.
'Well… I'll need to have a talk with him later...'
The little pink fox, the former Monarch of the Netherkin Nation, gazed at the sleeping man with a hint of fondness in her eyes, and after watching him sleeping soundly, she let out a small smile and let, her body transformed into a red light, slipping under the thin blanket, and returning to the special storage pouch prepared by Yue Xuanji.
