After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 124 3-Year Agreement

When his injuries had almost healed, Baili Ce and Zu Gu discussed it and, after confirming that Wang Qingyan would not discover his existence, decided to go see him one more time.

This time, the dream begins in a bamboo forest.

Surrounded by green mountains and winding green waters.

The field of vision is also many times clearer than last time.

But the sky was a deathly pale white, and the light pouring down from it carried a chilling coldness.

Before long, she felt herself trembling uncontrollably outside of her dream.

Concerned, Mu Haizhu came in and saw that Baili Ce was shivering from the cold, so she quickly found a thick quilt and covered her with it.

After the cover was put on, Baili Ce indeed stopped moving.

His expression gradually relaxed.

In her dream, she felt a sense of security and was indeed less afraid.

It's just a little warm.

But that doesn't matter, because in dreams, danger lurks everywhere, and she dares not pay too much attention to other things.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Qingyan appeared silently.

Like a phantom lurking in the shadows, it observed Baili Ce for a long while before finally speaking, "You actually..."

Wang Qingyan never expected that she would actually pull him into her own dream.

She patiently waited for him for so long.

Hearing his voice, Baili Ce secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

Turning around, a slight smile played on his lips, adding a touch of natural intimacy without being overly exaggerated. "Surprised?"

"Why?" Baili Ce shouldn't want to see him again.

"Your dream is too terrifying, I really don't want to go again, but I want to see you, so I'll just let you come into my dream."

what?

Wang Qingyan, thinking he had misheard, stepped forward and asked, "You want to see me?"

"Yes"

She did not dodge.

“…” He subconsciously looked up and saw the pale sky before he dared to confirm that the person in front of him was Baili Ce.

It wasn't that he was suspicious; rather, this morning, he had broken several of Ge Huaizhi's bones because Fang Lanzhi refused to cooperate, and now Baili Ce had appeared on his own.

It's hard to say that it wasn't because they had guessed something and wanted to set a trap for him.

Bai Li Ce sat down with an unhurried air, his emotions perfectly calm. "What's so surprising?"

"I don't hate you."

"It's just that I find it hard to agree with your style of doing things."

Some things, if said once, no one will believe; but if said several times, they might be more believed.

For example, after Wang Qingyan's previous two actions, even if he was unwilling to admit it, he must have wondered if his continued refusal to return was truly due to his extreme actions.

Seeing him deep in thought, Baili Ce casually swung his legs and said, "I have a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, thirty miles away from Tianshui Town. You've been there, haven't you?"

Wang Qingyan remained silent for a long time, as if he wanted to accuse someone, but then didn't speak...

In the end, he simply sat down next to her, his eyes filled with displeasure, but he wasn't as eager as he had been the previous two times...

“There is a plum tree in my yard. Ever since it started bearing fruit, I have been staring at it every day, constantly thinking about when I can eat it.”

"Several times, even though I knew the plums were terribly sour, I still went to pick them."

"Indeed, whether the fruit is sour or sweet, you can pick it if you want to, without needing the plum's consent."

"..." Wang Qingyan's puzzled gaze was tinged with a hint of helplessness.

He may not care whether the plums are sweet or not, he only cares that they are his.

But would he really like plums that are so sour they make your teeth ache?

Even if you like someone, how long can you like them?

As if to verify his idea, Baili Ce looked over without any hesitation.

"To be honest, I don't really like eating such sour plums."

"In fact, I felt that the plums weren't even worth picking."

They forcibly picked it, then complained that it wasn't sweet enough, then started to hate it, and finally ruthlessly discarded it.

But she didn't mention a word that from the very beginning, it was she who insisted on picking those sour plums, cutting off their life.

“…” Wang Qingyan looked at Baili Ce quietly. He was not unaware of her thoughts.

He just wanted her to be with him, and he longed to be with her.

Seeing that his expression softened and he was somewhat swayed, Baili Ce reached out to take the bamboo leaf that had fallen on his shoulder, but found that he could not touch it at all.

Oh no, there's a problem!

But she reacted quickly, pretending to want to touch him, then retreating without daring to.

"When I left, the plums in the yard weren't sour anymore. I wonder if you tried them when you visited?"

“…Hmm,” Wang Qingyan was taken aback, then squeezed her withdrawn hand and responded softly.

She instinctively strained for a moment, then relaxed, a smile curving her lips. "Is it sweet?"

Wang Qingyan watched her ponder for a long time, then sighed softly and finally gave the answer he had in mind, "Sweet and crisp, just right."

Having received the answer he wanted, Baili Ce politely tried to withdraw his hand.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qingyan gripped even tighter, and a tingling, itchy sensation instantly invaded his brain along his skin.

"..." Bai Li Ce was startled, and she convulsed as if having an epileptic seizure outside of her dream.

If Mu Haizhu hadn't already left, she probably would have been shaken awake...

In her dream, she couldn't feel the pain.

But the oppressive feeling of being on high alert still made her feel suffocated from the bottom of her heart.

In particular, the aggressive, determined look in Wang Qingyan's eyes, like maggots clinging to a bone, made her want to run away uncontrollably, yet she felt as if she were bound by something and couldn't move.

"In the end, you still don't want to tell me where you are."

"..." Bai Li Ce felt stuffy and hot, and even breathing became difficult.

"Believe it or not, I can keep you in my dreams forever."

Looking at his expression, which was anything but joking...

Bai Li Ce calmed down and stopped struggling. "Of course I believe you."

Wang Qingyan used to pretend to be her sister, and she believed it so well that she must know something.

Given his powerful soul and extensive knowledge, he might very well possess some kind of soul-capturing witchcraft.

"So, you still don't want to tell me?"

"..." Bai Li Ce shook his head firmly.

"You really don't want to say anything?"

He shook his head again, his forehead covered in sweat.

Look at each other for a moment.

"That's enough..." Fearing that she would no longer be influenced by him, Wang Qingyan, who had secretly activated the power of primordial life, finally dared not continue.

"..." Just when Baili Ce thought the negotiations had failed, Wang Qingyan actually let go of her hand.

If I say any more, she might become suspicious.

In an instant, Baili Ce felt that his breathing became much easier.

"But sometimes sour plums turn sweet, and you can't always use that as an excuse to fob me off."

Bai Li Ce secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was willing to compromise.

"Give me six more years, and I will definitely come back."

Wang Qingyan paused slightly, but her first reaction was not that she wanted to stall for time.

Instead, I felt she was hiding something.

Take a closer look...

He seemed to have caught a glimpse of something familiar.

But Wang Qingyan didn't let her notice. "Hmph, six years?"

"You are so brave to say that."

"Five years, five years should be enough, right?" Bai Li Ce started to get anxious, seemingly afraid that Wang Qing Yan wouldn't give her enough time, or that he would discover something.

Wang Qingyan keenly sensed a greater sense of familiarity with Baili Ce, and instantly understood.

She is very likely another incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

In that case, what she's been afraid of probably isn't herself.

Instead, it was the extremely evil Heavenly Dao that was exactly the opposite of hers.

But precisely because of this, he couldn't give her that much time.

"I can only give you one year."

"No! How can a year be enough for me..." In his haste, Baili Ce almost let slip the truth.

How could she possibly compete with herself in the art of guessing people's hearts?

Wang Qingyan looked relaxed, a teasing smile in his eyes. "Enough of what?"

"..." Bai Li Ce clenched his clothes tightly in a sullen voice.

Seeing that she was really angry, Wang Qingyan couldn't help but soften his attitude.

"Ah Zhu, I miss you so much, I really do."

"That's why I can't wait that long for you."

Using the power of primordial energy as a guide, and employing the principles of Yin and Yang in the Eight Characters and the art of Qimen Dunjia to construct dreams, it is not as simple as dream control.

Each time I enter a dream, it takes a great deal of energy.

Moreover, she is different from others; these things have had less and less impact on her.

This might be the last time; he didn't want her to have an easy time from now on.

Bai Li Ce bit his lip and reluctantly uttered two words, "Four years."

"If you don't return in two years, you'll face the consequences."

Hey, you're not even going to pretend anymore, huh?

Bai Li Ce raised his head, adopting a fierce expression, and said, "Three years!"

"If you don't agree, I won't care about the serious consequences."

So persistent?

It seems that the extremely evil Heavenly Dao is truly her nemesis.

But when he thought about the suffering he had endured over the years, and how he had tried six times to bring down the extremely evil Heavenly Dao from its pedestal, he could understand Baili Ce's feelings.

Besides, if he really angered her, and she really hardened her heart and didn't care about anyone else, he would end up with nothing.

"Okay, three years it is."

"If you don't come back, I'll drag you down to hell."

"..." Of course she knew that Wang Qingyan meant what he said.

Therefore, Baili Ce did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a long time...

As the dream was about to end, he nodded with great difficulty.
