Chapter 37: Yae Godson: "That Lightning Is Really Fake, Right?"
"Am I... back?"
Upon entering the dream, Ying immediately sensed a shift. Her perspective had changed. Previously, she was always looking up at others. Now, it felt like she didn't need to do that anymore.
This made sense when she thought about it. Su Ran had only changed his external body, but her consciousness had remained the same. As her consciousness entered the dream, it naturally returned to its original form.
"Is this...Taisha?"
Standing in the courtyard of Taisha, Ying looked around. Finally,his eyes fell on the sacred cherry tree. There, he saw a purple figure standing, facing the tree.
Seeing that figure, even Qing Ying, who had been shut away for five hundred years, felt her heart stop for a moment. That person…
"According to the agreement with him, I should say to you at this time, 'Hi~ How do you feel?'" The purple figure turned around and smiled gently at Ying.
At that moment, Ying couldn't hold back her tears. Her eyes filled with emotion.
"Is... it really you?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Such a familiar figure, such a familiar voice, and the same smile from her memories.
"Do you wish for all of this to be true?"
The person before Ying was none other than her sister, Raiden , who had passed away eight hundred years ago. Inazuma's first Lightning General.
"I… of course I hope so!" Ying took a cautious step forward, as though afraid that if she moved too quickly, the figure would vanish like a mirage. But then she took a larger step and quickly fell into Raiden arms.
It's real!
She could feel her—whether it was her breath, her presence, or the lost warmth. All the signs were telling Ying that her sister had truly returned.
"You're not a child anymore, so stop crying and making a fuss," Zhen said, patting Ying's back in an attempt to calm her.
Looking at her little sister in this state, it was clear that Ying had endured many hardships over the years.
"I don't want to…" In that moment, Ying couldn't hold back. She wanted to cry in Raiden Zhen's arms, to finally release all the grievances and loneliness that had built up over the years. It had been so long since she'd allowed herself to cry like this.
Raiden patiently listened to her, offering comfort without interruption.
Meanwhile, not far away in the corridor, Su Ran was recording the scene with a camera.
Ying had just claimed she wouldn't cry or make a fuss—and yet, here she was, doing exactly that. It was a funny moment, one that Su Ran couldn't resist capturing for future laughs.
There were two people standing next to Su Ran: General Lei and Yae Shenzi. General Lei remained calm, though it was clear her heart fluttered upon seeing Raiden Zhen. However, her attention was mostly focused on the dream itself.
Yae Shenzi, on the other hand, was far less composed.
Raiden Zhen… this was the person who had been by her side since she was young and innocent. Back then, she had always stayed in his arms. To see him now was completely unexpected.
"Since Master Shin has appeared in the dream, where are Master Kitsaigong and the others?" Yae Shenzi asked. Ying had lost more than just Raiden —there were others she missed dearly. Why couldn't she see them now?
"Isn't this to leave some regrets?" Su Ran responded with a smile. "If it were too perfect, what would happen if she completely falls into the dream?"
Reappearing Raiden Zhen in front of Ying was like fulfilling a wish. Raiden was now her great benefactor. If the bond in the dream became too strong, and Ying woke up one day, this dream could become her eternal reality.
The dream was just a stage Su Ran had built to create a play. The play would eventually end, but the protagonist had not yet fully appeared on stage.
"Isn't this exactly what you planned?" Yae Shenzi asked, confused.
If even the gods would try their best to maintain the dream, what were the chances of it collapsing?
When she saw Raiden , Yae Shenzi was shaken. It almost felt like it was a good thing after all.
"Yes, but I won't allow them to appear in my dreams," Su Ran said, his voice tinged with amusement. "I'm looking forward to whether Lei will beg me later, and then I can make some excessive demands."
Ying had remained a bit tough in the presence of Raiden Zhen. Su Ran wasn't pleased by this.
After seeing Raiden Zhen, Ying should have noticed the situation, and Su Ran was planning to use that to threaten her.
"Then I'm looking forward to it," Yae Shenzi said with a relieved sigh.
In fact, Yae Shenzi had considered asking Su Ran for help, even if it meant paying a price. But after hearing Su Ran's words, she gave up the idea of taking the initiative.
This way, Ying would be the one paying the price, and Yae Shenzi could take advantage of the situation.
It seemed like a win-win. And Su Ran had long seen through Yae Shenzi's plans.
"You think it's that easy?" Su Ran said with a sly smile. "I've changed my mind now."
Yae Shenzi's smile froze. She turned to look at Su Ran, uneasy. "When the time comes, you should also beg me. Otherwise, I won't agree."
Yae Shenzi: ...
Is there no escape in the end? This was really too much!
"Well, having the general and Linghua is not enough, and having Ying is not enough. Now you're planning to attack me?" Yae Shenzi took a deep breath, her thoughts in turmoil.
Where did Su Ran come from? His appetite was insatiable.
"What's the matter? There's more~ General, do you remember what I said?"
Su Ran touched the general's shoulder, prompting her to recall something she had said earlier.
"Which sentence?" General Lei asked. he had been paying attention to many things lately and couldn't remember all the details.
"The one you said when you first woke up," Su Ran replied.
The general nodded in recognition.
"I can't repay the grace of saving my life, so I should repay it with my body."
Yae Shenzi was stunned, tilting her head in confusion.
"Save? Whose life was saved? Who will repay it with their body?"
Could it be…
he looked at Raiden Zhen, holding Ying, and then glanced at Su Ran.
"That Zhen is just a fake in the dream, right?"
Yae Shenzi struggled to believe it, but she hoped this wasn't true.
Su Ran gave his a mysterious smile. "If you hope it's fake, then treat her as a fake."
