: ILLUSORY REALM OF SPIRITUAL VEIN

• • •
The system calmly reassured the host: [You have entered the deepest part of the spiritual vein, which is also the origin of malevolent thoughts. Everything here is an illusion created by Ao Yu based on his memories, or you can say it's a nightmare.]

Yun Zhao regained his composure and glanced around, realizing that he was in a mountain forest. He couldn't help but murmur, "This illusion seems to span a considerable period of time."

The system replied: [There's no other way. If you want to fully heal Ao Yu, you have to eradicate the source. The flow of time in the illusion is slower than outside, but don't waste any more time. Make good use of it.]

Yun Zhao asked again, "How do I heal him?" When he rushed in, he thought he would be able to see Ao Yu, but he was surprised to find himself in this situation.

However, the system only left him with a sentence: [Please explore on your own] and didn't respond further.

Perhaps the young man remained silent for too long, as the young child in front of him frowned and scrutinized him from head to toe.

The young man's robe was disheveled, stained with mud, but his aura was pure and amiable. He didn't seem like a demonic creature.

"I'm asking you a question. Who are you?"

Ao Yu repeated the question, and the young man in front of him finally regained his senses.

Yun Zhao couldn't help but fix his gaze on the young Ao Yu from his childhood. His eyes were a bit rounder, lacking the sharpness he used to have. The soft flesh on his face was still there, and even though he had a stern expression, it made Yun Zhao want to go forward and pinch his cheeks.

What delighted Yun Zhao the most was that the current young dragon, including its horns, barely reached his waist. It had to tilt its head up to look at him, which seemed to make it even more displeased.

Oh, it's getting angry!

Just before the young dragon could get angry, Yun Zhao spoke, "My name is Yun Zhao, and I came here to... find someone."

"Find someone?"

Ao Yu glanced at the young man and saw his resolute nod, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"This is Yuming Mountain, my celestial mountain. There's no one you're looking for here! Leave quickly." The young dragon emphasized the word "my" and swung its tail uncomfortably, patting the rocks in the forest.

Yun Zhao pursed his lips, finding the appearance of Ao Yu in this state amusing. "Your celestial mountain, huh? Who cares? In the future, it will be mine as well!"

It seemed like a long time since Yun Zhao heard the young man's response, and he didn't see him leaving either. Ao Yu, curiously pursing his lips, looked up at him.

"Annoying, why haven't you...?"

Suddenly, he caught sight of the dragon jade hanging from Yun Zhao's waist, adorned with a pearl. Puzzled, he asked, "Where did you get this dragon jade?"

Dragon jade was a precious item for every dragon, not something given away casually!

Yun Zhao looked down, touched the dragon jade, and proudly raised an eyebrow at the little dragon. "My lover gave it to me."

Ao Yu asked, "Is that the person you're looking for?"

Yun Zhao stifled a laugh and nodded without changing his expression. "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, sympathy filled Ao Yu's eyes as he looked at Yun Zhao.

Among the members of the branch clan, there were those who were charismatic and amorous. This mountain spirit looked dull and foolish; perhaps he had been deceived by one of his clan brothers.
