Chapter 105 Tomoyo's seemingly innocent yet cunning nature! Tomoyo: From now on, you have me, and you have Sakura (Bonus Chapter 4k)

[Entering Dreams: You can silently infiltrate another person's dream without disturbing them, and thus uncover their deepest secrets! If your spiritual power is sufficient, you can also weave false dreams, guide, and even manipulate the minds of others, all without leaving a trace.]

Falling asleep?

Ye Hui's eyes lit up slightly.

This supernatural ability looks interesting!

Can you enter other people's dreams and even weave dreams?
Isn't this a real-life version of Inception?

Discover secrets, manipulate minds...

This is another amazing technique that's perfect for interrogation and hypnosis!

Several thoughts suddenly popped into his mind.

Perhaps we can use this supernatural power to sneak into Xiao Ke's dream and see if its dreams are really all desserts and snacks?
or……

Should we go see Tomoyo's dream? She's usually so gentle and composed; I wonder what her dreams are like.

The thought of the possibility of "entering the dream of Tomoyo" comes to mind.

Ye Hui's heart started beating faster for no reason, and his cheeks began to feel warm.

Damn, this is too weird!
Ye Hui is a gentleman, how could he have such thoughts of prying into other people's privacy?
but……

It was just a dream; I was only taking a look to confirm whether my supernatural powers could be used normally.

It should be fine, right?

Ye Hui cleared his throat, trying to justify himself in his mind.

He did this simply to better test the effects of "entering dreams" and ensure that the supernatural power had no side effects!

It was definitely not out of curiosity about Tomoyo's dream...

Yes, it is like that.

"Ye, what are you thinking about?"

Sakura saw Ye Hui staring blankly at the Clow Cards in his hand, his fingers unconsciously stroking the cards, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"nothing."

Ye Hui snapped out of his reverie, returned the Sleep card to Sakura, and said naturally, "The magical structure of this card is very special. I just studied it briefly and have already grasped some of its secrets. Thank you for lending it to me, Sakura!"

"I'm glad I could help Ye-kun! Ye-kun is always helping me too~" Sakura took the sleep card, carefully put it back in her pocket, and smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

Tomoyo stood to the side and asked softly, "Ye-kun, did you learn any new supernatural powers from the Sleep Card?" She remembered Ye Hui saying before that studying the magic of the Clow Cards could sometimes trigger new abilities.

Ye Hui nodded, not hiding anything: "Yes, I've mastered a new supernatural power called Dream Entry, and the effect is quite interesting."

"Enter the dream?" Sakura and Tomoyo both showed curious expressions, clearly interested in the name.

"Simply put, it means being able to enter other people's dreams silently and even slightly change the content of the dreams as needed."

Ye Hui gave a brief explanation without going into too much detail.

For example, "peeping into secrets" and "manipulating minds".
There's no need for them to know about these features for now.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Sakura exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "If you enter someone else's dream, what else can you influence? If I have a nightmare, could you enter my dream and turn it into a sweet dream?"

"That should be achievable." Ye Hui smiled.

"Ye Zi, can you enter my dream now?" Sakura looked at him expectantly. "I really want to see what a dream that has been altered by someone else is like!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Looking into her bright, expectant eyes, Ye Hui couldn't help but twitch his lips and shook his head: "This... let's forget it, you're not asleep yet."

Are you kidding me? Directly entering the dream of a fourth-grade girl?
Let's not even talk about whether we'll see any childish scenes.

The act of "infiltrating a child's dream" alone.

It just seems so strange; he's not that perverted.

Even if you really want to test supernatural powers, you should find a... more normal person to test them on.

For example, Tomoyo? After all, Tomoyo is very mature and not naive.

The thought had barely crossed Ye Hui's mind when he quickly suppressed it.

Why did he think of Tomoyo again?

"Why?" Sakura's expectations were instantly dashed, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face, her tone also becoming dejected.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

“Because…” Ye Hui racked his brains and finally came up with a reasonable reason, “Using ‘Dream Entry’ requires a lot of spiritual power and places high demands on the mental state of both parties.”

"Your magic is still unstable. If I were to force myself into your dream, it might put a strain on your mind and even affect your condition the next day, which would be bad."

"Oh... I see..." Sakura nodded as if she understood, though she was still a little disappointed. But she knew that Ye Hui was doing it for her own good, so she didn't insist.

Zhi Shi stood to the side, looking at Ye Hui thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, Ye Hui quickly changed the subject: "Alright, it's getting late. If we go home any later, our families will worry. Let's go home now."

"Okay." Tomoyo chuckled softly.

……

That evening, Ye Hui's villa was quiet.

The moon was already high in the sky, and silvery moonlight streamed through the window onto the floor, creating soft patches of light.

Ye Hui opened his eyes and stopped circulating his spiritual energy.

He had been practicing for an hour, but he was not sleepy at all.

What kept replaying in my mind was the new supernatural power I had been rewarded with by the system: entering my dreams.

He lay in bed, turned over, and pulled the blanket over his head, trying to suppress those chaotic thoughts.

No, no, how can you use such supernatural powers to pry into other people's privacy?

Especially... girls' dreams.

but……

His mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Tomoyo again.

Those purple eyes that always carried a faint smile, that gentle tone of voice, and that serious expression when using water control today.

Ye Hui sighed deeply, scratched his head, pulled back the blanket a crack, and stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"But, if we could understand Zhi Shi a little better, it might greatly help in successfully turning him against us," Ye Hui muttered to himself.

In the afternoon, in front of Sakura and Tomoyo, he was still able to convince himself with the excuse of "testing his supernatural powers".

But now it's late at night and all I can hear is my own breathing.

The more he listened to this reason, the less convincing it seemed, and even he himself felt a little guilty.

"But that's not right either. Even if I successfully enter a dream, I won't deliberately pry into other people's secrets. Besides, I'm conducting rigorous research on cultivation."

Ye Hui sat up, leaned against the headboard, and earnestly made excuses for himself.

"First, entering dreams is a completely new supernatural power. I must thoroughly master its usage, scope, and limitations. In case of an emergency in the future, such as needing to extract information from the enemy, I can't afford to fail because I'm not familiar with the supernatural power. This is about taking responsibility for my own abilities."

"Secondly, the selection of the test subjects is crucial. Although Sakura has strong magic, she is still young and her mental strength is unstable. If I make a mistake and cause her mental trauma, affecting her ability to control the Clow Cards in the future, that would be a real problem."

"But Zhi Shi is different. She is meticulous and emotionally stable. She has also started to cultivate immortality with me. Although she is only in the Qi Refining stage, her mental strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. She can better withstand the influence of supernatural powers. She is the most suitable experimental subject at present, without exception."

Ye Hui thought about it more and more and felt that his logic made a lot of sense.

He took a deep breath and began to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body.

Now that you've made up your mind, don't hesitate any longer.

Besides, he was just going in to take a look, to confirm the effect of the supernatural power, and to see the form of the dream.

I will absolutely not do anything unnecessary, and I will never pry into Tomoyo's private thoughts.

Just take a look!
Ye Hui lay back down on the bed, the bedding carrying a faint scent of sunshine.

His housekeeper would air out his blankets every day and change them frequently.

This smell made Ye Hui feel very comfortable.

He gently closed his eyes, focused his mind on his dantian, and mobilized the gentle spiritual energy within his body.

He slowly sketched the shape of the incantation in his mind, and finally recited it softly in his heart.

"Dream!"

The moment the thought crossed Ye Hui's mind, he sensed something was different.

It was as if the weight of his body had suddenly been taken away; his arms and legs felt so light they seemed to float, and even his breathing felt unreal.

The faint chirping of insects outside the window and the distant sound of the wind gradually faded away.

And in the darkness that was originally closed, a blurry halo began to appear, like looking at a lamp through a thin veil, nothing was clear.

He knew that his consciousness was moving towards the dream world of Zhishi, slowly crossing the invisible line between reality and dreams.

I don't know how long I floated, but that swaying, weightless feeling finally stopped.

Ye Hui tried to "open" his eyes.

The moment he had this thought, the scene before him made him pause.

It wasn't the familiar ceiling in his bedroom, nor was it the moonlight seeping through the gaps in the curtains.

Instead, it was a pale purple sky.

The purple hue was exceptionally soft, without a trace of glare. Even the sunlight that fell upon it carried a faint purple hue, warming the skin without causing any sunburn.

A sweet scent wafted in the air; inhaling it made my heart feel soft and relaxed.

It's not the fragrance of flowers in the yard in spring, nor the sweet scent of fruit in summer.

It has a very clean and reassuringly mild flavor.

It's a bit like the faint scent that Tomoyo carries when she hands him snacks, a scent that makes you feel very at ease.

Ye Hui looked down.

I was standing right in the middle of a sea of ​​flowers.

The grass underfoot was as soft as a freshly dried carpet; it made no sound when you stepped on it.

He couldn't name any of the flowers and plants around him. Some of their petals were transparent, revealing fine veins inside, and they swayed gently in the wind.

Some flower buds will slowly turn with the wind, as if they are dancing to some rhythm.

Some blades of grass were covered with tiny dewdrops, which shimmered in the purple sunlight, like tiny stars scattered on the ground.

Looking into the distance from the sea of ​​flowers, you can see a white manor.

The walls are clean white, the windows are decorated with delicate carvings, and the roof is adorned with silver vines.

The sunlight shone on it, giving it a soft glow. It looked softer than the villa of the Daidoji family, like a house drawn in a storybook.

Next to the manor.

A separate, huge, black screening room was built, with dark black walls that stood out against the bright colors around it.

The screening room door was open, and the screen inside was lit up. It was huge, and the images were playing on a loop.

Ye Hui leaned closer to look; the screen was full of Sakura.

Sometimes she wears a pink princess dress with small bows on the hem, which flutters when she runs.

Sometimes she wears blue sportswear, sleeves rolled up to her elbows, holding a sealing staff in her hand, her eyes sparkling.

Another time, she wore a dress with lace and a small flower pinned to the neckline, which was also quite pretty and cute.

Sakura in the picture.

One moment she's chasing after the Clow Cards, and the next she's leaning on her shoulder and shouting.

He would stop and talk to Tomoyo, and the two of them would huddle together.

Tomoyo would fix her hair, and Sakura would smile and hand her a snack.

It's unclear whether it was footage Tomoyo had taken in her daily life or a dream she had.

"Is this... Tomoyo's dream?" Ye Hui looked at the screen and blinked.

That really suits Tomoyo's style.

The soft, purple sky was like her favorite gentle color.

The exquisite manor was just like the one she knew.

There's even a special screening room for Sakura's videos, where every single clip is filmed with such meticulous detail.

Every detail bears the mark of Tomoyo, revealing her affection for Sakura and her dedication to the things she cares about.

The wind blew through the sea of ​​flowers again, carrying that sweet scent, and Sakura's laughter gently drifted over from the screen.

Ye Hui shifted his gaze from the screen in the projection room, following the sea of ​​flowers to the side of the white manor.

He froze, his gaze fixed on the wall as soon as he saw what it looked like.

The wall wasn't wide, but it was filled with several rows of combat suits, the styles of which were dazzling.

Some skirts have layers upon layers, like crumpled clouds, but the edges are not neatly shaped. When the wind blows, the fabric seems to turn into mist and dissipate.

Some of the tops were decorated with sparkly embellishments, but the lights flickered on and off, their colors unpredictable, sometimes tinged with pink, sometimes turning blue, all mixed together and appearing quite blurry.

There was also a coat with a pointed collar that looked rounder after a while, and sleeves that were longer on one side than the other, yet it was hung perfectly straight.

Almost all the clothes exuded an absurdity that seemed to come from a dream.

Ye Hui took two steps forward and looked closer.

Not a single garment had clear details; the colors were either strangely distorted or so pale they looked as if veiled. Even the clothes racks would occasionally blur and become semi-transparent.

He was stunned.

Are these all combat suits that Tomoyo is designing?
The clothes, which should be exquisite and well-fitting, look like a rough sketch drawn on paper without any outlines, hanging on the wall.

The wind blew again, and the clothes on the wall swayed gently. The corner of a white cloak even seemed to blend into the air before slowly reappearing a few seconds later, making Ye Hui's lips curl into a smile.

It was indeed a dream; even the clothes Tomoyo conceived seemed ethereal.

However, this is an interesting contrast to Tomoyo's usual serious approach to drawing design drafts.

On the contrary, Ye Hui found Zhi Shi even more adorable.

Ye Hui looked down at his "body".

I found myself to be translucent, as if shrouded in a thin mist, able to vaguely see the sea of ​​flowers behind me, but unable to see the specific details of my clothing.

If I had to say, it does resemble the ghost that Sakura used to be most afraid of.

Ye Hui tried to reach out and touch a crystal-like flower beside him, but his fingers passed right through the petals without any resistance, and he felt nothing.

It seems that in other people's dreams, he defaults to observer mode, unable to actually interact with the things in the dream, and can only watch?

Ye Hui stopped trying to touch it and instead gently "floated" up.

Since we can't touch it, let's go and take a look at the manor.

He wanted to know what Tomoyo would be like in his own dreams.

An angel? A fairy? Or perhaps Tomoyo's original form?
He flew towards the manor, his body as light as a feather.

As he walked through the sea of ​​flowers, the petals didn't even tremble as he passed by.

He quickly flew to the entrance of the manor.

Without stopping, they went straight through the wooden gate and into the villa.

In a spacious and bright studio.

Ye Hui finally saw the person he was looking for.

In the dream, Tomoyo wore a pure white dress with delicate pale purple embroidery on the hem.

He is currently sitting in front of a huge walnut wood design table.

She lowered her head slightly, her long hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks, trembling gently with her breath.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow on her, making even the shadow cast on the design table appear exceptionally gentle.

Tomoyo held a silver drawing pen in her hand, the tip moving quickly across the white design paper, leaving behind smooth lines.

She was so focused that it seemed as if the whole world consisted only of her and the blueprints in her hands.

To the right of the design station, there was a black camera, its lens pointed directly at her.

The screen was lit up, clearly recording her entire drawing process.

Ye Hui floated gently to Zhi Shi's side and looked curiously at the drawings she was making.

It was a set of combat suit design drawings that he had never seen before.

The upper body is a silver knight-style short armor, paired with light pink puff sleeves, and the lower body is a white short skirt with lace trim and delicate cherry blossom patterns embroidered on the hem.

It combines the heroic spirit of a knight's outfit with the cuteness of a young girl.

Without a doubt, this was prepared for Sakura.

"As expected of Tomoyo, she always manages to design such exquisite clothes for Sakura."

Ye Hui sighed inwardly, his gaze falling on Zhi Shi's focused profile. Watching her occasionally furrow her brows to adjust her features and sometimes raise the corners of her mouth slightly, he felt inexplicably at peace.

at this time.

In the dream, Tomoyo seemed to be tired of painting.

She put down her pen, let out a soft sigh, looked up, and rubbed her slightly sore wrist.

She didn't immediately continue drawing, but turned to look at the pale purple sky outside the window, a gentle smile slowly curving her lips, her eyes full of longing.

"Sakura would look absolutely adorable in this outfit."

She spoke softly, her voice as gentle as cotton candy, tinged with anticipation.

Ye Hui looked at her quietly, and his heart suddenly softened.

This is Tomoyo.

Whether in reality or in dreams, Sakura is always on my mind.

This pure sentiment is even gentler than a sea of ​​flowers in a dream.

Sakura is such a lucky girl to be cared for by someone like Tomoyo.

Compared to this person, his nemesis was utterly insignificant.

Ye Hui, his nemesis, quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and continued his "cultivation research".

He floated out of the studio and wandered around the dream world.

He discovered that although this dream world seemed vast, with seas of flowers and manors, the core area actually consisted only of this villa and the adjacent screening room.

Other places, such as that boundless sea of ​​flowers, are dazzling from afar.

Upon closer inspection, however, one discovers that the details are blurry, even the texture of the flowers is unclear, resembling a poorly made model that hasn't fully loaded in a game.

"It turns out that the construction of dreams is based on what the dreamer cares about most in their subconscious."

Ye Hui suddenly realized.

The villa and screening room are places where Zhi Shi often stays.

Sakura is the person she cares about most.

That's why these places and related things are so clear.

The sea of ​​flowers is merely a backdrop to enhance the atmosphere, so it naturally appears blurry.

And what about him?

Is there not even a trace of him in Tomoyo's dreams?

Ye Hui stopped at the entrance of the screening room and then floated inside.

The screening room was dark, with only the huge screen lit up.

The video currently playing is of Sakura capturing the "Rain Card".

Sakura, wearing a light blue raincoat, holds up her magic wand and manipulates the wind card. Rainwater draws graceful arcs around her, and the scene is captured with exceptional delicacy.

Ye Hui looked at the screen, then glanced at the only row of red seats in the screening room.

Suddenly I feel like I understand Tomoyo a little better.

To be able to quietly watch the person you cherish most and record every moment of her.

Even if it's just in a dream, it's still a very happy thing.

Just as Ye Hui was preparing to leave the dream world and end this research.

The image on the screen suddenly changed without warning.

It's no longer a scene of Sakura fighting, but the figure of a boy.

The boy stood in the messy room.

He waved his hand lightly at the mess on the ground.

The next second, the papers and books flew back to their original positions as if a reverse button had been pressed, and the entire room instantly returned to its tidy state.

Ye Hui was stunned.

This... isn't this the scene he was cleaning up the mess in the archives of the university today, using the word "exile"?

Although the image was blurry, the boy's face was shrouded in a faint halo, making it impossible to see his exact features, and even the color of his clothes was somewhat distorted.

But Ye Hui recognized him at a glance.

He was all too familiar with that action and that scene.

Why... did this scene appear in Tomoyo's dream?

Ye Hui's mind went blank.

He stared at the blurry figure on the screen, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Why does his figure appear in Tomoyo's dream?

Moreover, it was a scene where he used cultivation techniques?

He was clearly just an observer, not actively manipulating the dream.

Therefore, this is definitely a scene from Tomoyo's subconscious!
Could it be... could it be that he has already occupied an important place in Tomoyo's heart?
So important that even the way he tidied up the archives would be etched in her memory and appear in her dreams?
The idea just came to me.

Ye Hui's cheeks instantly flushed, and even his translucent body seemed to be tinged with a light red.

No, no, no, calm down, calm down!
You're a cultivator with the soul of an adult!
How can you panic over such a small matter?

Don't act like a lovesick young boy, getting your heart racing at the slightest thing!
Even though he kept telling himself to be careful, his heart was still racing.

The blurry figure on the screen kept replaying in my mind.

And when Tomoyo looked at him in reality, her purple eyes held a faint smile.

Ye Hui forced himself to calm down and tried to analyze the scene before him rationally.

Tomoyo usually enjoys observing the people and things around her.

They would naturally pay special attention to something as novel as cultivating immortality.

She kept in mind the interesting scenes she saw that day.

Then it unconsciously reappears in my dreams.

This...this is actually quite normal, isn't it?
Yes, that must be the case!

Zhi Shi was only interested in cultivation techniques and was deeply impressed by these novel scenes.

As for his own thoughts on the person in the picture... he has no other special ideas.

Cough cough, maybe not? Or maybe there is?

The images on the screen continued to play.

The blurry figure of the boy once again used his spiritual power to awaken the college student who had been hypnotized by the sleep card...

Every scene was exactly what he had done at the tower and the university that day, with almost no deviation in the details.

Ye Hui also noticed a detail.

In the reenactment of the dream.

Whenever the boy casts a spell, a faint golden halo surrounds him, as if adding a filter to his movements.

Is this a subconscious idealization of Tomoyo?
Although we can't see his face clearly, he looks very handsome.

This thought made Ye Hui's cheeks burn even hotter.

He couldn't help but think of the system logs.

The system describes him every day as an insignificant nobody bursting with jealousy, a complete villain.

On the contrary, in Tomoyo's dream, his every move was highlighted.

Even the scene of cleaning up the mess was clearly remembered.

The difference in treatment is like night and day!

Just as Ye Hui was lost in thought, the image on the screen changed again.

This time, it's not a specific scene, but an abstract image.

A silver-glowing spirit sword floated in mid-air, its blade engraved with intricate patterns.

Next to it was an old-fashioned brown alchemy furnace, with wisps of white smoke rising from its mouth.

There were also several yellow talismans with incomprehensible runes drawn on them...

All of these were items related to cultivation that he had mentioned or occasionally shown to Zhishi before.

Ye Hui was completely speechless.

He thought these details were just something he mentioned casually.

Or perhaps Tomoyo's attention was merely "polite."

Unexpectedly, she remembered all of these things and even constructed them in her dreams.

Even the patterns on the alchemy furnace vaguely resembled the style he had described.

He suddenly felt a little dazed.

During this time, he worked hard to teach Zhishi how to cultivate immortality.

One reason is to complete the system's "bond-making task".

On the other hand, there were indeed some little thoughts hidden within that he himself hadn't dared to think about in detail.

I always felt that I was the one who took the initiative in this relationship.

But now it seems that he has unknowingly occupied a place in Tomoyo's heart.

Even just being a "friend worth paying attention to" far exceeded his expectations.

Surprise, secret delight, and a touch of bewilderment.

Several emotions were intertwined in Ye Hui's heart.

He came to his senses.

No, I can't watch anymore.

If you keep watching, it will really get too weird.

Just as Ye Hui was feeling agitated and preparing to leave the dream,

He didn't realize that his emotions were fluctuating too much.

Its translucent body trembled slightly and emitted a very faint buzzing sound.

The sound was very soft, yet it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly startling Tomoyo in her dream.

Tomoyo, who was organizing drawings in the studio, suddenly stopped, her hand holding the pen frozen in mid-air.

She turned her head slightly, her purple eyes fixed precisely on the direction where Ye Hui was.

"Who is there?"

Ye Hui's eyes widened, and his heart instantly jumped into his throat.

We've been discovered?! We're doomed!
His current situation is like that of a thief sneaking into someone else's house.

Before it could leave, it was caught red-handed by its owner.

Moreover, the crime scene was someone's most private dream!
His first instinct was to immediately cut off the spiritual energy and exit the dream.

But reason quickly prevailed over panic.

Forcibly interrupting the connection in someone else's dream could have a significant impact on the dreamer's mental state.

At best, it will wake the other person from their dream; at worst, it may cause headaches and mental confusion.

This is much more serious than being "discovered".

Ye Hui stood frozen in place, so embarrassed he could practically dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

Seeing no response from the other end, Tomoyo put down her pen, slowly stood up, and took two steps toward the projection room.

Her footsteps were light, and her skirt swayed gently with her movements: "Is that you, Ye?"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Ye Hui:!!!
He was completely confused.

How could Tomoyo-chan have guessed it was him so easily?
Is this girl's intuition really that accurate? That's outrageous!
Or perhaps his emotions were too volatile just now, causing him to leak his spiritual energy, which was then detected by her subconscious?

But what shocked him even more was...

Can emotions be triggered in dreams?

Does the system's judgment scope include even dreams?
Ye Hui bit his "mouth" tightly (although he had no physical form now), not daring to say a word.

I just want to disguise myself as a background figure that has no presence.

Praying to Tomoyo was just a casual guess, and he would give up if he didn't get a response.

However, Tomoyo seemed completely convinced of her guess and did not waver in the slightest.

She stopped and refused to go any closer.

She simply stood quietly at the boundary between the studio and the screening room, her white skirt gently draped to the ground, a faint smile slowly curving her lips.

"Since you're here, why don't you show yourself? Are you playing a joke on me by hiding there?"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

That's it, now we can be sure Tomoyo has discovered it.

Pretending to be dead won't help.

This time, it can't be hidden anymore!

Ye Hui was in tears.

He shouldn't have acted rashly today and had the wicked idea of ​​testing his supernatural powers!
Now, not only have they been caught red-handed, but they also have to face the awkward situation that follows.

Now, how is he supposed to get along with Tomoyo at school tomorrow?
Should we pretend nothing happened, or take the initiative to apologize?

He even had the fleeting thought of "playing dead and stalling for time".

Judging from Tomoyo's confident demeanor, the possibility is not high.

Just as Ye Hui was so conflicted that he was about to "break down" on the spot.

Tomoyo spoke again, her tone tinged with curiosity: "Ye-kun, are you testing the new supernatural power we mentioned this afternoon? That 'dream entry' that allows you to enter other people's dreams?"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +4】

Goodness, you even guessed that?!

Ye Hui was completely convinced.

He had just explained the effects of "entering a dream" to them that afternoon.

That very night, I put it into practice right into someone's dream.

This behavior seems suspicious no matter how you look at it!
It's no wonder that Tomoyo made that connection.

There's no point in hiding it anymore now.

Moreover, Tomoyo's attitude was so gentle... she didn't seem angry at all, which made Ye Hui breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He took a deep breath, controlled his semi-transparent consciousness, and slowly floated out of the shadows of the projection room.

He only materialized into a blurry human figure, his voice slightly hoarse and unnatural: "Ahem... um... Tomoyo, good evening."

Seeing that he had actually appeared, a clear look of surprise flashed in Tomoyo's purple eyes, and her smile became more genuine.

"It really is you, Ye Zi. Your 'dream entry' ability is quite amazing. You can actually enter other people's dreams and even exist in this form."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +4】

"..." Ye Hui was completely at a loss for words.

They were caught red-handed, but the other party wasn't angry at all.

Instead, they praised his crime-making tools as amazing?
This turn of events completely exceeded his expectations, and even the prepared apology got stuck in his throat.

"I'm sorry, Tomoyo, I didn't mean to intrude into your dream."

Ye Hui forced a smile and explained, "I just grasped the 'entering dreams' technique this afternoon, and I wanted to test the effects of this supernatural power."

Tomoyo nodded gently, showing no sign of Ye Hui's blame. Instead, she said understandingly, "I know. Ye Hui has always been a very cautious person and never acts without discretion."

"You chose me because you trust me, right?" Ye Hui was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

Zhi Shi is always like this; she can always accurately capture other people's goodwill and resolve awkward situations in the gentlest way, never putting anyone in an embarrassing situation.

He couldn't even help thinking about it.

Should we praise her for being understanding, or should we be glad we're lucky?

"By the way, Ye, what state are you in right now? Are you a soul?"

Tomoyo's bright purple eyes gazed at his blurry outline with curiosity, as if she were observing something interesting.

"That's roughly how it can be understood, or more accurately, it's a consciousness entity."

Seeing that she was truly only concerned with the supernatural power itself, Ye Hui's tension gradually dissipated, and his tone became more relaxed.

"It has no physical form, you can only look at it, not touch it. It defaults to observer mode. If I hadn't been so emotionally volatile just now, you wouldn't have noticed."

"Does entering someone else's dream require a lot of spiritual energy? Will it affect your body?" Zhi Shi asked again, her eyes showing more concern.

"The spiritual energy consumption is not much, but the requirements for spiritual sense are very high. If the dream owner's spiritual power is unstable, forcibly entering will only affect myself."

Ye Hui patiently answered, explaining his understanding of "entering a dream".

"I see... So, can you see everything in my dreams?"

"Yes, I could see it, but I didn't look around randomly. I only looked at the studio and the screening room; I didn't go anywhere else."

Ye Hui quickly explained, afraid that she would misunderstand that he was invading her privacy.

The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

Ye Hui discovered.

In the special environment of dreams, his communication with Tomoyo is more direct than in reality.

Tomoyo asks many questions that people wouldn't easily ask in real life.

Ye Hui answered each of her questions carefully.

These words were partly from novels and games, and partly from his own genuine insights after transmigrating.

They might even share some of their genuine feelings and insights after they traveled through time.

He even casually mentioned the cultivation setting he had learned from novels.

Ye Hui himself didn't know why he had talked so much with Zhi Shi.

Perhaps the atmosphere in the dream was too relaxing.

Perhaps it was the sincerity in Tomoyo's eyes that made him lower his guard.

Of course, he didn't mention that he was a time traveler.

Some things are best kept buried in your heart forever.

Tomoyo listened quietly the whole time without interrupting him, a gentle smile on her face.

His blurry figure was clearly reflected in her purple eyes, as if he were the clearest presence in this dream.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Tomoyo suddenly spoke, her voice gentle: "Ye-kun, do you feel lonely when you're all alone?"

"Are you lonely?"

Ye Hui was stunned.

He traveled from modern society to this world that is both strange and familiar.

He was born with the body of a primary school student, and had no family or old friends by his side.

There isn't even anyone I can truly confide my secrets to.

Countless nights.

He meditates and organizes his thoughts alone, occasionally reminiscing about his past life.

Is he lonely?
"……fine."

Ye Hui remained silent for a few seconds before finally uttering only these two words.

Tomoyo looked at him quietly, without asking any further questions, her purple eyes full of understanding.

She took two steps forward and stood in front of his consciousness.

So close, Ye Hui could almost smell her faint fragrance.

Perhaps the atmosphere of the dream world was too intense.

The scent was clearer and more reassuring than in reality.

Tomoyo slightly raised her head, looking intently at his blurry outline, and said softly:
"I will not do it again."

"Because you now have us."

"I'm here, and so is Sakura."

"We will all be your friends and will always be there for you."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +20】

Ye Hui looked at Zhi Shi, at the pure and sincere tenderness in her eyes.

Suddenly, it felt like something had gently bumped into my heart.

All the embarrassment and guilt that came with being caught in the act.

At this moment, everything becomes insignificant.

He suddenly felt that it was a very lucky thing to be considered a friend by someone like Tomoyo.

"Thank you, Tomoyo." Ye Hui's voice was even softer than before, but it carried an unprecedented sense of gratitude.

Tomoyo smiled and shook her head gently, her smile deepening: "I'm the one who should say thank you, Yoko."

"Thank you for being willing to teach me how to cultivate immortality. Thank you for showing me a completely different world."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +16】

After she finished speaking, she suddenly winked her purple eyes playfully: "However, next time you want to test your 'dream entry' ability, could you tell me in advance? So I can be mentally prepared."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui: “…”

His words instantly brought him back to reality.

The feeling of being touched and warmed just now has completely vanished.

really!

It turns out that Tomoyo isn't a completely gentle angel after all.

Cut it open, and you'll find a bit of cunning hidden inside!

"I...I'll try my best."

"Hmm~"

Tomoyo nodded in satisfaction, a hint of triumph in her smile.

Ye Hui felt that he couldn't stay any longer.

If we stay any longer, who knows what new tricks Tomoyo will come up with to tease us.

He quickly said, "Well... it's getting late. The supernatural power test is almost over, and the effect is very stable. I should exit the dream now so as not to disturb your rest."

As he spoke, he controlled his consciousness to slowly retreat, preparing to sever the connection with the dream.

"Okay, Ye Zi, good night."

Tomoyo smiled and waved to him, her purple eyes full of tenderness. "See you at school tomorrow."

"good night, see you tomorrow."

As the words fell.

Ye Hui's consciousness was pulled away from the dream space by a force.

When he opened his eyes again.

What came into view was the familiar ceiling of my bedroom.

The faint darkness of night still lingered outside the window.

Everything was exactly the same as before I entered the dream.

But he knew in his heart that some things were different.

The conversation I just had with Tomoyo in my dream.

Every word and every expression is clearly etched in my mind.

Especially that sentence.

"Because you have us now, you no longer have to feel lonely."

It was like a small pebble that stirred up ripples in his heart.

Tomoyo, you're amazing!
Don't say Sakura can't handle it, he can't handle it either!

Who could resist the gentle words of director Tomoyo?

Whoever can withstand it will wash their hair while standing upside down!

Ye Hui tossed and turned, his mind filled with the scenes from his dream, unable to fall asleep at all.

When he woke up again, it was already dawn outside the window.

Ye Hui, sporting two enormous dark circles under his eyes, sat up abruptly from the bed.

Looking at her haggard reflection in the mirror, she sighed helplessly.

It seems I'll have to rely on spiritual energy to relieve my fatigue again today.

What happened last night is like a thorn stuck in my heart.

Ye Hui couldn't concentrate on his cultivation at all. He tossed and turned in bed and didn't get any sleep for more than a few hours.

He rubbed his sore eyes.

"How adorable it is, it's misleading!"

Looking in the mirror, I saw dark circles under my eyes.

Ye Hui muttered to himself, "How am I supposed to face anyone at school today looking like this?"

Especially how to face Tomoyo
I think of Tomoyo-chan.

The conversation from last night's dream will vividly appear in my mind.

He remembers even the exact curve of her blink!
Ye Hui was certain that, with Zhi Shi's intelligence, he had already guessed that the "supernatural ability test" was just an excuse.

She didn't expose him on the spot, and was so gentle, it was like putting him on the hot seat.

"Ugh, I'm so ashamed!" Ye Hui squatted on the ground, holding his head.

But he quickly straightened up again.

No, if I really ask for leave from school today, wouldn't that make me look even more guilty?
Anyway, it's a knife to extend your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head.

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

It's better to face it openly and honestly!

"So what if we got caught? It's no big deal!"

Ye Hui cheered himself up, "Anyway, I'm thick-skinned. As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed!"

Of course, he couldn't bear to embarrass Tomoyo.

In short, it was with this tragic, "what's the point" mentality.

After having breakfast, Ye Hui put on his schoolbag and set off for school.

The sun is shining exceptionally brightly today.

Golden light filtered through the leaves and fell on the ground, but he found it a bit dazzling and subconsciously squinted.

When we were almost at the school gate.

He spotted two familiar figures in the distance.

Sakura, carrying a pink backpack, was excitedly talking to Tomoyo, gesturing with her hands from time to time, looking very thrilled.

Tomoyo stood beside her, her long black hair gleaming softly in the morning light.

She tilted her head slightly, listening attentively to Sakura's words, a faint smile on her lips, occasionally nodding in response.

Life is peaceful and serene, just like always.

"Ah, it's Ye Zi! Good morning!" Xiao Ying, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot Ye Hui walking over and immediately waved to greet him.

"Good morning, Sakura, Tomoyo." Ye Hui walked over quickly, his gaze unconsciously falling on Tomoyo.

"Good morning, Ye." Tomoyo turned around and gave him a gentle smile. Her eyes were clear, and her tone was natural, just like usual.

Ye Hui secretly observed her expression.

There was no teasing, no strangeness, not even a trace of "special" emotion.

There was also no emotion value that triggered the system notification.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Perhaps in Tomoyo's view, what happened last night was really just an interesting experience with supernatural powers?
Or perhaps, after she woke up, she forgot the details of her dream?

After all, it was just a dream.

This thought filled Ye Hui with both relief and a sense of loss, causing him to slow his pace.

"Ye, did you not sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes, you look like a panda!" Xiaoying leaned closer and stared curiously into his eyes.

Ye Hui quickly pulled himself together, shook his head, and made an excuse: "It's nothing. I was refining pills a little late last night, it won't have any effect."

During the break between classes, the classroom was very lively.

Sakura and Tomoyo sat together, whispering to each other, as if they had endless things to talk about.

Although most of the time, it was Sakura who was talking enthusiastically.

For example, the kitten you meet on the street is being naughty again, or the new math problem you learned is a bit difficult.

Zhi Shi listened patiently, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Ye Hui lay on his desk, pretending to catch up on sleep, but his ears were perked up and unconsciously tilted towards the two of them.

He secretly listened to Tomoyo and Sakura's conversation, his eyes constantly fixed on Tomoyo out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, Tomoyo's voice came softly.

It wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Ye Hui's ears.

"I had a very strange dream last night."

"Huh? Tomoyo had a strange dream too?"

Sakura's eyes widened, and she immediately asked curiously, "What kind of dream was it? Could it be like my previous ones, a precognitive dream that allows me to foresee things?"

"Hmm, I don't think it was a precognitive dream."

Tomoyo smiled and shook her head. As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept over the back of Ye Hui's head, carrying a hint of a smile.

"I dreamed of a beautiful place, full of flowers I had never seen before, and a large screening room where Sakura's videos were playing."

She tilted her head slightly: "I also dreamed that I was in that place, chatting with someone whose face I couldn't see, and we chatted for a long time."

"Someone whose face I can't see?" Sakura's eyes widened instantly, and she pressed for more information. "And then? What did you talk about? Was it about the Clow Cards?"

Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into a smile: "We talked about a lot of interesting things, but I don't remember the specific details very well. However... that person's voice sounded a bit like Ye's."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui: “…”

He knew this would happen!
This isn't just a little similar, it's exactly the same!
Tomoyo wasn't just describing a dream; she was clearly hinting at something to him.

He was now 100% certain that Tomoyo not only remembered every detail of the dream, but also knew clearly that the "person whose face he couldn't see" was him!

Tomoyo-chan is so mean, she actually teased him on purpose!

"Huh? Really? He actually looks like Ye Zi?" Sakura looked surprised and turned to look at Ye Hui, who had just "woke up," waving excitedly.

"Ye-kun, you're awake! Tomoyo just said she dreamt of someone whose voice sounds just like yours!"

Ye Hui happened to look up and meet Xiaoying's curious gaze.

Then she caught a glimpse of Tomoyo's gentle, indifferent expression.

Now that things have come to this, what else can he do but play dumb?
He forced a surprised expression and, matching Sakura's tone, said, "Wow, that's such a coincidence! Maybe it's some parallel universe version of myself secretly visiting you in a dream?"

I just finished saying this.

Tomoyo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

Sakura glanced at Tomoyo, whose eyes were crinkled with laughter, then at Hikaru, who looked like he really didn't know anything, and blinked.

Why did she feel that there was some little secret between these two good friends that she didn't know about?

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"Ye from a parallel world?"

Sakura pursed her lips and asked curiously, "Does Ye from the parallel world also cultivate immortality? Would he be even more powerful than you now?"

"They're definitely not as good as me!" Ye Hui blurted out without thinking.

It's one thing to compare yourself to others, but how can you possibly lose to "yourself in a parallel world"?

But after he finished speaking, he realized it was a bit childish.

Is he out of his mind to compete with a non-existent parallel universe version of himself?

"Haha~" Tomoyo laughed again, this time gently covering her mouth with her textbook, but her shoulders were still trembling slightly.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

Ye Hui is now 200% certain.

Tomoyo remembers it perfectly!

He probably hasn't even forgotten how embarrassed he was in his dream last night!

She simply found it very amusing to tease him!
Tomoyo put down her textbook, her gaze gently falling on Ye Hui: "I also think that the Ye Hui we know is the most amazing~"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

Tomoyo-chan, that's cheating!!
She was clearly teasing him, but then suddenly said something like that!

He nodded somewhat stiffly, his ears burning slightly: "Then...that's for sure."

"Yes, yes! I also think Ye Zi is the best at it!"

Sakura nodded vigorously beside her, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Not only can Ye cultivate immortality, but he can also help me capture the Clow Cards. He's definitely much more powerful than Ye from the parallel world!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

down one day.

Ye Hui continued to secretly circulate his spiritual energy and cultivate during his daytime classes.

However, his usually focused mind was always somewhat scattered and absent-minded.

As long as he catches a glimpse of Tomoyo sitting beside him out of the corner of his eye.

The conversation from last night's dream, and her teasing smile, would uncontrollably resurface.

This even disrupted the rhythm of his spiritual energy circulation.

"Ye Tongxue, Ye Tongxue?" Tomoyo's voice rang in my ears.

"Huh? get out of class is over?" Ye Hui snapped out of his daze and looked around.

The students in the classroom had already packed their bags and were leaving in twos and threes.

The sunlight outside the window was much lower than during class, indicating that it was clearly time for school to end.

"Yes, school's out already."

Zhi Shi smiled and looked at him. "Ye, you seem to be lacking energy today. Is it because you were too tired from refining pills last night and didn't get enough rest?"

Ye Hui felt a pang of guilt and quickly looked away, pretending to tidy up his textbooks, and vaguely replied, "Ah... um, a little, I did go to bed a little late last night."

He couldn't very well say that he was distracted by her words in his dream and her teasing during the day.

I didn't sleep well last night, and my practice sessions today were constantly interrupted, which is why I'm so tired.

"Then, Ye, you should go home and rest early today. Don't stay up late cultivating or refining pills anymore. Your health is the most important thing," Zhi Shi said with concern.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Hui nodded quickly and sped up packing his schoolbag.

All he wanted to do was pack his things quickly, leave the classroom, and find a quiet place to calm down.

To avoid getting flustered by Tomoyo again!
"Oh, right, Ye, there's something else."

Just as Ye Hui slung his backpack over his shoulder and was about to leave, Zhi Shi suddenly spoke, as if she had just remembered something.

"Huh? What is it?" Ye Hui's heart jumped instantly, and he stopped in his tracks.

Tomoyo looked at his tense expression, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, before she regained her gentle demeanor, her purple eyes curving into beautiful crescents.

"I wanted to ask, if that 'you from a parallel world' appears in my dream again next time, would you like me to pass on any message to you? For example... ask him how the cultivation environment is over there?"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

"No...no need!" Ye Hui quickly shook his head, pretending to be calm, and said, "There's no need to trouble you, Tomoyo. The matter of parallel worlds is completely illusory, so there's no need to take it to heart."

Please, please let this part pass quickly!

If we keep talking, his ears will turn completely red!

Perhaps she noticed his predicament.

Tomoyo didn't press further, but simply smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I won't make a point of remembering it."

in the following days.

Tomoyo indeed didn't mention dreams or anything like that again.

The teasing that day seemed like a mere coincidence.

Ye Hui's anxiety gradually subsided.

Although I still occasionally recall the conversations in my dreams, I'm gradually able to focus on my cultivation and daily life.

time flies.

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

This day marked the day Ye Hui was able to re-enter the Spirit Medicine Small World.
