Both worlds are like dreams

Snow Phoenix: "..."

"You haven't spoken in a long time."

Snow Phoenix: "..."

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything else and just sat with her quietly.

When Duan Yun came to report, he hesitated whether he should go up and disturb him.

But Mo Yunchen had already noticed his footsteps and asked indifferently: "Have they found the antidote?"

Duan Yun nodded, "It should be. They have already returned to Jinxiu Tower."

"Very good." He looked at Xue Huang, "When you go back, please give me a gift."

Xue Huang slowly opened her eyes, her empty gaze cast to an unknown place.

The autumn night was getting colder, and although she had lost her senses, her shoulders still shivered from the cold.

Mo Yunchen took her cold hand and took her back to the house.

He lit the Nightmare Incense again and guided her back to her dream.

Although there is no clear solution to the art of making medicine men, some strong memories buried deep in her memory can stimulate her to wake up.

He remembered her memories, the happiness she cherished and the pain she didn't want to face. These were things deeply buried in her memory and were very important to her.

Xue Huang closed her eyes and immersed herself in the past.

Scenes from the past flashed through her mind, and the laughter was so clear. Although her memory had disappeared temporarily, the emotions had not disappeared.

So when those past events flashed before her eyes, her eyes became focused.

"Xue Huang, wake up!" The young man's voice also rang out at this time, as if in her mind, striking directly into her soul.

Snow Phoenix walked through her memories like a puppet, from the carefree days in Guigu Mountain Forest, to the unbridled freedom of swordplay in the martial arts world, to the happy sweetness of knowing and loving the one she loved...

There was also a reaction on her dazed and numb face, and as she listened to the voice calling her, she became even more confused.

The young man kept calling her name, his tone was angry and helpless, "Wei Xuehuang, you stupid girl, I only took two months to recover from my injury, and you let someone cheat you like this? You were so lawless before, now you are getting your retribution, right?"

Xue Huang looked puzzled. She couldn't find the voice and only felt that it seemed to be coming from her own head.

She looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but in a trance she came to the river bank.

Fireworks all over the city bloomed before her eyes, and it seemed like a prosperous era in the night.

Xue Huang's empty and cold eyes finally showed a hint of warmth, but she was still very confused.

Her sight fell on the painted boat on the river, where a young man in white and a young girl in green were looking at the lights of the prosperous world hand in hand. She felt that the two looked very familiar, but she still didn't react much.

The young man's voice sounded again, somewhat helplessly, "Unfortunately, my strength has not recovered yet, so I can't bring your consciousness out, otherwise I would definitely be able to unlock this medicine man technique. Mo Yunchen's Nightmare Fragrance also has some effect, but I know very little about this medicine man technique, so it seems I can only try another method."

Xue Huang didn't understand what he said. She only saw the scene in front of her change again. It was a huge gate in a snowy land.

At this time, Mo Yunchen, who was guiding her to recall, was a little surprised. He clearly did not guide her to look at those painful memories, so why did she come to this door?

Xue Huang had walked to the huge door in her memory. She stretched out her hand to push it open to see what was happening, but suddenly a hand appeared on her wrist, stopping her movement.

She looked blankly and saw that it was Mo Yunchen.

He looked at her with a heavy look in his eyes, but his tone was very indifferent, "Don't look at it."

Xue Huang obediently withdrew her hand, but the young man's voice rang out, his tone carrying indifference and anger towards Mo Yunchen, "You said you don't want to look, so don't look?"

The huge door opened in an instant, and a cold snowstorm came in.

Mo Yunchen frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to block the snowstorm for Xue Huang. His sight fell on the huge gate, still a familiar scene, but this time it was extremely clear.

His eyes were instantly filled with disbelief, because he felt that the mountains and rivers behind her were so familiar. He had stood in that position and looked at them from afar for several years.

That was the edge of the cliff behind his palace in Shuanglin City.

When he was stationed in the northern border, he came here almost every day. This is a very open cliff, where you can have a panoramic view of the entire snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the wilderness.

But why here?

He looked at the Snow Phoenix on the edge of the cliff. Her demeanor seemed different from the current Snow Phoenix. She was gentle and quiet, graceful and elegant, wearing white clothes as white as snow and a red fox fur cloak.

He had never seen her in a red dress before. She looked so noble and elegant, like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the wind and snow.

But her eyes were so sad, full of disbelief and self-mockery, because a sword was deeply pierced into her heart.

In the end, there was only determination and hatred in her eyes that was too intense to look at.

Mo Yunchen was a little dazed. He actually felt that the hatred was directed at him.

And Xue Huang resolutely plunged headfirst into the thousand-foot cliff behind her.

Mo Yunchen unconsciously walked to the edge of the cliff and watched the figure falling. The red cloak floated to other places in the wind and snow. The figure was only wearing a white dress, almost blending into the snow, and was finally completely buried by the wind and snow, leaving no trace.

His heart suddenly felt inexplicably heavy, and for some reason he turned around and looked at the man holding the sword.

Mo Yunchen's body froze instantly, and the feeling of time and space distortion was extremely clear. It was his own face.

In the midst of the wind and snow, so heartless, his expression did not change at all regarding the disappearance of Xue Huang, not even a trace of reluctance, just like the frozen snow on the glacier behind him.

In the end, "he" just left without looking back.

Mo Yunchen looked at him, and it was as if a thunderbolt passed through his mind. He remembered that he was such a person. He was always ruthless to those who had no value.

But when did this happen? Why did he have no recollection of it?

He had stabbed her, but that had not been his intention, and the situation was different than it was now.

Xue Huang was still standing at the door. In the dream, her eyes were black, but her look was still dim. She looked at everything blankly, and seemed a little puzzled as to why she saw two of him.

Mo Yunchen walked towards her slowly. Was this the pain she had been hiding deep in her heart? Was this the reason why she suddenly became so cold to him?

What was going on? Why were her old dreams overlapping with reality?

The young man's voice sounded again, "Why did you hurt her, but forget everything and let her suffer alone? It's fate! Mo Yunchen, you should remember this scene well."

Mo Yunchen couldn't hear his voice. He looked at Xue Huang's face and reached out his hand to gently stroke the place on her heart where he had stabbed her with the sword.

Did his sword hurt her so deeply?

"Is this your memory or a dream?"

Xue Huang obviously didn't understand what he was saying, but her eyes were no longer empty. She looked like someone who had forgotten everything and was full of ignorant curiosity about everything in front of her.

He held her hand again, and the huge gate disappeared in an instant. They appeared at the end of the mountains and rivers, beside the clear water, and on the river bank. Everywhere they looked were blooming white spider lilies.

Xue Huang seemed to like this place. She looked around as if she was looking for something.

The boy spoke again, "Where is this?"

Xue Huang seemed to understand. She shook her head and came to the water's edge. Her face was reflected in the clear lake water.

She was a little dazed until Mo Yunchen's face appeared in the water. She turned her head to look at him, then looked at the face in the water. She seemed to realize that the face of the girl in the water was her own.

Xue Huang stared at her. It was not until this moment that she perhaps realized that all she had seen along the way was her past.

She stretched out her hand to cover her heart, as if something was surging in her heart. She closed her eyes, and tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes.

Mo Yunchen looked at her, his low tone seemed a little hesitant, "Do you... remember?"

Xue Huang opened her eyes and still looked at him blankly, but finally said to him, "Who... am I?"

Mo Yunchen sighed, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved, "Let's go."

The dream ended and Xue Huang opened her eyes, but they were still empty and numb.

Mo Yunchen sat beside the bed holding her hand. Looking at her appearance at this moment, he knew that the Nightmare Fragrance alone could not break the medicine man technique.

"Sleep," he said.

Xue Huang closed her eyes obediently, but Mo Yunchen sat silently beside her for a long time.

She woke up from her dream, but he didn't. All he could see was the scene in the giant gate. Xue Huang's hateful eyes lingered in front of him.

Mo Yunchen stayed up all night and sat beside her bed until dawn.

Then he asked the maid to wash her thoroughly and took her to have breakfast.

Duan Yun came to see him early, and hesitated at the door before saying: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has come here in person with the people from Dongchu."

Mo Yunchen didn't look surprised. He handed the bird's nest porridge to Xue Huang, and then asked, "Is Gu Qinglan here?"

"Yes, and Wei Yunzhou as well. They are already outside the courtyard gate and have surrounded this place."

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything, just watched Xue Huang eat.

Duan Yun was a little anxious, "My Lord, what should we do?"

Mo Yunchen watched Xue Huang finish her meal, then took her hand. There was a scar on her palm, and it seemed as if something was moving. There was a hint of cold-blooded madness in his eyes, "Remember what I told you, come back to me."

Xue Huang didn't say anything. She let him lead her to her feet and slowly walked towards the door.

The door of the courtyard was opened. Mo Yunchen walked out first and saw that the entrance of the alley was full of people.

His eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on Gu Qinglan, but he did not speak.

Zhao Chong of Dongchu was the first to break the silence. "Greetings to King Hanxi. I am Zhao Chong, the Grand Tutor of Dongchu. I came to your house to thank you for saving my life, Princess Dongchu. I also came to welcome the Princess back. After all, I have been bothering you for a long time."
