Chapter 2002 - 1822: Holy Grail_2
Nie Wushuang said earnestly, "It’s precisely because there’s difficulty, that’s why I want to go. If we obtain the Ice Crystal Holy Grail, Grandpa Inneye will definitely be very happy. Sister Emily, come with me."
"This..."
Emily hesitated a bit, saying, "This isn’t simple. If we encounter danger, we might end up losing our lives in the Komi Primitive Forest."
Nie Wushuang said, "Sister Emily, you are an upper-class Earl. Although not a Marquis, your strength is top-notch. Besides, I’m now at the early SS level, my abilities aren’t weak."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun could confirm that Nie Wushuang was not a werewolf.
But who taught her those skills.
Emily was silent for a while, then agreed, "Alright, this time we’ll go to the Komi Primitive Forest together. However, we still need to gather a few more helpers. Leave this matter to me; I’ll get in touch with a few werewolves, and we’ll act together then."
"Great."
Nie Wushuang clapped her hands excitedly.
Emily stood up and said, "Xiao’er, get some rest early. Return the book to Grandpa Inneye as soon as possible, otherwise, if he finds out, we won’t be able to go to the Komi Primitive Forest."
Saying this, Emily left the room.
"Oh yay, we can finally go on an adventure."
After Emily left, Nie Wushuang bounced up excitedly.
But Song Yun at the bottom was in trouble, covered in dust.
"I need to prepare well, find the Ice Crystal Holy Grail, and give Grandpa Inneye a surprise."
Emily was a bundle of excitement, though they hadn’t decided when to leave yet, she was already rummaging in her room, starting to pack.
Before long, Song Yun saw her filling up two large suitcases.
This is no adventure; this is a vacation.
It seems this young lady, although at the early SS level, hasn’t ventured out much.
After a burst of excitement, Nie Wushuang lay on the bed, quiet.
After ten minutes, seeing no sound, Song Yun carefully poked his head out from under the bed.
He turned his head to look at Nie Wushuang on the bed; she was hugging a teddy bear, sprawled out on the bed, her breathing even.
"Where’s that map?"
What Song Yun wanted was that map.
His eyes searched around, suddenly finding the map in Nie Wushuang’s arms, tightly held down by the teddy bear she was hugging.
"Looks like she fell asleep looking at the map."
Song Yun glanced at the map; only a corner was exposed, the full view obscured.
He picked up the teddy bear, gently lifted it, finally revealing the map’s full view.
Unexpectedly, in her sleep, Nie Wushuang released the teddy bear but tightly pinched a corner of the map with her left hand, as if afraid someone would seize it.
Song Yun did not want to disturb Nie Wushuang after all, Nie Wushuang was at the early SS level; waking her would likely lead to a fight and attract many people then.
Yet he couldn’t bring himself to kill Nie Wushuang.
For one thing, from Nie Wushuang’s words, Song Yun heard that she was a kind person.
On another hand, within the entirety of Bailuode Manor except for the intruding Song Yun, Nie Wushuang might be the only Huaxia person, and Song Yun felt a sense of kinship with her.
So avoiding provoking Nie Wushuang was Song Yun’s preference whenever possible.
Thinking it over, Song Yun decided to memorize the map.
His memory was already outstanding; since integration into his mind, he possessed the ability to remember everything at a glance.
So memorizing a map wasn’t difficult for him.
He looked at the map, fortunately, the part Nie Wushuang pinched was blank, allowing Song Yun to clearly see the whole map.
The map wasn’t large but the routes were very clearly drawn, each key node marked thoroughly.
While Song Yun was fixated on the map, he failed to notice that the sleeping Nie Wushuang had her eyes open.
Nie Wushuang, being an SS level, even in her sleep, sensed a presence.
So, she awoke.
At first, she thought it was Emily, but upon opening her eyes, she realized it was a Huaxia person.
Immediately, she felt an inexplicable sense of kinship.
Her heart surged with excitement, momentarily forgetting this was her boudoir, and the person had intruded.
The main reason was that the man before her showed no malice.
Otherwise, Nie Wushuang would surely have acted immediately.
She scrutinized the Huaxia man before her, somewhat thin, not particularly handsome, yet a peculiar aura about him captivated her.
That aura was one of focus.
The man was concentrating on something, his face serious.
What is he doing?
Nie Wushuang followed the man’s gaze, and was instantly stunned.
Because the place the man was staring at was her chest.
Her body trembled, feeling a wave of shyness.
Song Yun had already memorized the map completely in his mind. He was about to leave when he suddenly noticed Nie Wushuang moved a little.
He was startled, looked up, and only then discovered that Nie Wushuang had somehow woken up.
But strangely, she woke up, why did she not resist, nor call for help?
Moreover, the blush on Nie Wushuang’s face, what does it mean?
Could it be, she was shy?
For a moment, Song Yun was somewhat bewildered.
He had considered all possibilities, but never thought that Nie Wushuang would be shy.
However, Song Yun reacted quite quickly.
He curled his lips into a mischievous smile, gazed at Nie Wushuang affectionately, and said, "Xiao’er, do you know who I am?"
"You... how do you know I’m Xiao’er?"
Nie Wushuang stuttered, looking at Song Yun who was looking down at her, she became more nervous.
He was the first man to enter her boudoir, and also the first to get on her bed.
Although he had done nothing, Nie Wushuang’s little heart was still beating wildly, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
Song Yun smiled: "Because I live in your dreams, of course I know your name."
Nie Wushuang was stunned for a moment, somewhat in a daze: "Are you saying, I’m dreaming now?"
"Yes, a dream infinitely close to reality."
Song Yun nodded.
Nie Wushuang looked around, frowned, and said, "No, everything here is very real, how could it be in a dream?"
Song Yun said seriously, "I said, this is a dream infinitely close to reality, everything here is no different from reality."
Nie Wushuang’s mind went blank, staring at Song Yun dazedly: "Then who are you?"
"Who I am is not important."
Song Yun’s expression turned serious, then he said, "My appearance is just to remind you that the Komi Primitive Forest will be very dangerous. If you want to obtain the Ice Crystal Holy Grail, you must be careful."
"You... how do you know about the Ice Crystal Holy Grail."
Nie Wushuang covered her mouth in shock. This secret, besides the people at the meeting, only she and Emily knew.
And this man in front of her was clearly not someone who attended the meeting.
Song Yun turned his head to look at Nie Wushuang, and said in a deep voice, "Because I’m someone from your dreams, so I know what you’re thinking. You eavesdropped on the meeting, you and Emily are going to the Komi Primitive Forest, you want to help Grandpa Inneye find the Ice Crystal Holy Grail, I know all of this."
"You... who exactly are you?"
Nie Wushuang propped herself up, leaning against the bedhead, with a wary expression on her face.
Song Yun said, "I’m your dream. If you don’t believe it, you can go and open the window now. Once the window is open, I will immediately disappear."
"Really?"
Nie Wushuang was half believing, half doubting.
She hesitated for a moment, walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, and then pushed the window open outward.
"You..."
Nie Wushuang turned her head, instantly stunned.
The man who was just standing by the bed had indeed disappeared without a trace.
Nie Wushuang quickly searched the room, but she couldn’t find the man anywhere.
"Could it be, I really was dreaming?!"
Nie Wushuang stood by the bed in a daze, her face full of disbelief.
She raised her hand, pinching her soft cheek.
"Ouch!"
She didn’t expect to use too much force, causing her to grimace in pain, realizing she was not dreaming, this was the real world.
For a moment, Nie Wushuang was somewhat confused.
She couldn’t understand whether she was dreaming just now or it had always been reality.
She lay on the bed, her mind filled with the image of the Huaxia man from just now, unable to sleep all night.
