Chapter 70: I’m Certain to Uncover This Secret 「Mass Update Five」
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“Ah!”
A scream rang out. Gushe jolted awake from deep sleep, her face streaked with tears, her heart still gripped by lingering fear.
Hearing the scream, the others who had already departed hurriedly walked out of the Huts, gazing toward the direction of Lin Qi’s hut with complicated expressions.
Young people these days.
“Stop screaming.”
“Lest others misunderstand what I did to you.”
Lin Qi spoke with feigned calm, though his heart was already in turmoil.
Originally, he had only intended to use the dream to peek at the truth behind the Return to Void Realm Great Power inheritance Gushe had spoken of.
He never imagined Gushe would give him such a surprise.
This Gushe… was actually not human.
“Did I just have a dream?”
Gushe’s heart still palpitated with fear. She tried hard to calm herself, but looking at Lin Qi’s half-smiling expression,
Gushe’s heart sank. Her intuition told her that her greatest secret had very likely been discovered by Lin Qi.
At this thought, killing intent surged in Gushe, but she quickly slumped into helplessness. She couldn’t beat Lin Qi.
Her heart was immediately filled with both anger and grievance, and in the end, she burst into sobbing tears.
“You liar!”
Gushe cried sorrowfully, her breathtaking face streaked with tears, pitiful enough to move anyone.
But Lin Qi only needed to think that Gushe was not human, but rather a being that had emerged from the Innate Five-Element Gourd in another Cosmos, a gourd that should have nurtured a Primordial God.
He felt not even a trace of pity in his heart. Instead, he was very curious about how exactly Gushe had escaped from the gourd.
The dream had collapsed too quickly. He hadn’t seen that part of the information.
So he simply spoke up and asked, “Go on, how exactly did you get out?”
Gushe covered her face and wept, secretly peeking at Lin Qi through the gaps between her fingers. She had still harbored a sliver of hope.
But now that Lin Qi asked this, Gushe immediately knew she had indeed been seen through by Lin Qi. Flustered and furious, she snapped, “You liar, you actually peeked at my dream.”
“You can be a bit louder. It’s not like I have any secrets I’m afraid of others knowing.”
Lin Qi spoke with a blank expression. Seeing Gushe immediately cover her mouth, he smiled again. “Gushe, you don’t want others to know your secret either, right?”
“What do you want!”
Gushe wiped her tears, her heart filled with regret.
If she had known earlier that Lin Qi had the ability to peek at others’ secrets in their dreams, she absolutely would not have been foolish enough to seek cooperation with Lin Qi.
No.
She would never have let Lin Qi stay in the Peach Valley Grotto-Heaven from the very beginning.
“I haven’t decided yet.”
Lin Qi pondered for a moment, then spoke with a sincere tone. “But this secret of yours, I’m definitely going to take advantage of it.”
“You!”
Gushe was so angry she wanted to bite someone, but in the end she only stomped her foot hard and spoke through gritted teeth.
