Chapter 1012: Pipedream





Did she ever return?

This problem had been haunting Qianye like a lingering spirit . Even in the throes of inexplicable pleasure, the question still remained in his heart . “Has she returned? Did she ever leave?”

Qianye fell into a short lull of calmness after the peak of pleasure, and his thoughts became clearer . The Nighteye in his arms was changing constantly, transforming into people he was familiar with, and then into strangers . She squirmed gently in an attempt to move away—it seemed like she was completely exhausted yet also as though she was beckoning him to continue the battle .

She suddenly pushed Qianye away and jumped into the room . It wasn’t too strange that she would be fatigued, but she was moving too slowly in his eyes . Additionally, her leaping figure allowed him to see her body from an entirely new angle .

This allure was indefensible . Even though her body was also shifting just like her appearance, it couldn’t escape the image branded in Qianye’s memories . No matter how she changed, it was still Nighteye—he could never forget her .

Her flurried escape aroused the bestial nature in Qianye’s bloodline . He leaped forward and caught Nighteye in his arms, and then pushed her down once more .

“No! Stop, let me go, you… no… don’t…”

This time, Nighteye’s struggling became more intense . It could even be said that she was struggling with all her might, but it was useless at this point—only a new round of intense assault awaited her . By the time Qianye slowed down from slight fatigue, Nighteye was already limp and immobile .

She had no energy to move, but that didn’t mean she had given up on resistance . She reached toward his back and sunk her nails into his back, bringing about yet another round of violent suppression .

It would seem that she had changed, but Qianye couldn’t quite tell what about her was different .





The small courtyard was also changing . At times, it would be his home in Blackflow City, at times, his residence in Southern Blue, and at times, their wooden hut in the neutral lands . They would leave behind traces of intense activity at every scene, every corner .

Nighteye had never left, but Qianye felt as though he had lost her for far too long . He wanted to make use of this period together to make up for all the lost time .

Finally, she gave up resisting, nor did she have the strength to .

The night gradually turned dark, and the entire world was shrouded under the sable curtain . Waves of exhaustion eventually fell over him as he collapsed and fell asleep .

The night was exceptionally short, and before long, Qianye was woken by the first rays of dawn . He rubbed his eyes and, shielding himself from the glaring light, started looking around at the surroundings .

His vision and consciousness were highly discrepant at this point . The scenery in front of him was vivid, but his reaction was incomparably dull, barely able to make sense of things after a good while .

This was an empty piece of land in the forest, a camp apparently . The campfire nearby was already out, and the entire place was in a mess . There were faint claw-marks on a couple of large trees, almost as though something had happened there .

Qianye felt his throat on fire and urgently wanted some water to quench his thirst . He searched through Andruil’s Mysterious Realm, but there was nothing to drink except for the jars of white-fruit wine . The spirits ignited some memories—he recalled that the wine was extremely valuable, and that he shouldn’t drink it without careful thought . Otherwise, something bad would happen .

Qianye shook his head in an attempt to drive the unbearable headache away . The waves of pain made it difficult for him to concentrate or think .

At this point, his blood core accelerated somewhat and sent beams of auric flame blood to every part of his body . Qianye became more spirited, and the veil shrouding his consciousness quickly fell away .

He recalled that this was the Great Maelstrom, and he was in the camp they had set up last night . The night had just transitioned into dawn .





“Ah!” Qianye jumped up in alarm, but he ended up flying over ten meters into the air, passing a circle of treetops to see a small lake in the distance .

He hadn’t imagined that he would end up jumping so high . Flustered, he was just about to adjust his posture when a wave of fatigue and aching washed over his body . He ultimately crashed back to the ground in a daze .

The pain from the fall told him that he was still in a region with increased gravity, roughly eight times that of the empire . That was also what he had remembered—he had used just enough strength to stand up, but who knew he would end up jumping over ten meters .

Qianye lay there for a while before slowly clambering up . He checked the state of his body during this process . There was nothing special about his physical condition, but there was a strange energy flowing within him . It was different from ordinary origin power, but it wasn’t void origin power, either . If one had to pinpoint its attribute, the energy was right at the intersection of daybreak and Evernight .

Every time his muscles worked, this energy power would participate and amplify the action . This was the reason Qianye had erupted with such power just now .


The energy was of unknown origins, but its presence didn’t seem like a bad thing .

On the other hand, Qianye was aching all over and in a state of extreme fatigue . The soreness after a long period of excitement made his limbs feel like lead—every action was extremely difficult . This kind of fatigue didn’t feel like he had been fighting . On the contrary, it felt like he had been engaging in manual labor all night .

Qianye glanced about at his surroundings and confirmed that he was still in last night’s camp . It was just that the place was in shambles, almost like a battlefield . Qianye had actually fallen asleep from before midnight up until dawn, and had a series of strange, messy dreams . It was quite delightful, however, that Nighteye was in every one of them .

“Perhaps I’m just missing her too much . ” Qianye thought in self-mockery .

There was a more important matter at hand . Now that Qianye had fallen asleep accidentally, how were Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan faring? It was fine if they were willing to eat the white-fruit, but their lives would be in danger if they had insisted on saving them and Qianye wasn’t there to help activate their vitality .

Qianye believed that there was no need to consider whether or not to ingest the white fruit and wine . Treasures were no use to dead people . Yet, Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan had a tendency to pursue riches, especially the former . She possessed a determination that would put her life at risk .





Qianye got up and began searching for traces of the two girls .

His confusion and fuzziness receded as his blood core pulsed quicker, and his senses also grew sharper . In the blink of an eye, Qianye could hear the sound of splashing water and conversation in the distance .

Recalling the small pond he had seen a while ago, Qianye started running toward it . Bodies of water in the Great Maelstrom were exceedingly dangerous . However, the pond wasn’t big, and it was in a zone with eight times the gravity, so it shouldn’t be too dangerous . If the duo was there, they should be fine .

Qianye traversed the woods swiftly and came to a halt at its borders . In just a few steps, he would walk out of the forest and arrive near the lake .

This forest lake was a couple dozen square meters in area, and its jade-green ripples were so clear that one could see the bottom . The surrounding area was dotted with wildflowers swaying gently in the wind, painting a scene of elegant beauty .

Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan were bathing in the waters .

Ladies liked to keep themselves clean . Even if they could cleanse their bodies with secret arts, most of them were more inclined to take baths . Besides, the place was so serene and beautiful, almost like a pond in an immortal realm . To a girl who had been running about and fighting for several days, the allure was simply too great .

The pond was small and the waters were so clear that one could see the bottom . Soaking in the waters was really no different from standing naked .

Hence, Qianye stopped immediately and moved behind a large tree .

Although he had shared much skinship with Li Kuanglan, to the point where she could calmly remove her clothes in front of Qianye, that was due to the circumstances . He wasn’t willing to peek at her body under present circumstances .

Ji Tianqing was also in the picture . This outgoing and mysterious girl had no intimate relationship with Qianye . In the two nights that they had interacted, she was the one who had seen Qianye from head to toe and never the other way around . Seeing her body under the present circumstances would be completely different from seeing Li Kuanglan’s . If they weren’t inside the Great Maelstrom, this enmity would be enough for her to hunt him down for several years .

Qianye merely hid behind a tree—he didn’t hide his presence intentionally, nor did he channel Bloodline Concealment . But it would seem his thief-like hiding didn’t quite attract the girls’ notice . The two kept on washing their bodies while chatting amongst themselves .

“You’re really washing? I thought you’d leave it in for a couple of days!” JI Tianqing’s smile was exceptionally charming .

Li Kuanglan snorted, and a wave of cold emerged in air, eliciting a cry from Ji Tianqing . “I’ll freeze you to death, you little floozy! You got caught up in your own mischief haven’t you?”

Ji Tianqing said with a snort, “Who’s the one who suffered more? I had to sacrifice myself to save you because you looked like you couldn’t go on . Otherwise, how can you have the strength left to take a bath?”

Li Kuanglan spat . “Who asked you to save me? Besides, you never had good intentions . You just wanted to laugh at me . Now, are you satisfied? You were too complacent . ”

“Tsk, this little bit of benefit can’t satisfy me! Of course, I have to take a bit out of this profit . ”

“You’re still being stubborn! Why did you not take action on the first day if you wanted a piece? You were clearly incapable, neither able to defeat nor escape as you were eaten up in the end . Yet, you still have the cheek to say these things . ”

“So what? I was just going easy on him in the beginning . I let him taste some benefits so that he’ll do his utmost for me in the future . Besides, I tried my best to resist . So what if I lost in the end? Victory and defeat are common occurrences on the battlefield, a small defeat every now and then is normal . I’m not like a certain person who gave up immediately after a token show of resistance . What a farce! You’ve lost the Li family’s face through and through . ”

Li Kuanglan was furious . “I’ll freeze you to death!”

Ji Tianqing cried, “So scary, where was that strength last night?”

Li Kuanglan’s momentum deflated immediately .
