ing to walk. To conserve their energy, they chose to wait in place.Although even Jiang Wànlǐ didn't know if their waiting would bring them a savior to take them away from this despairing place, or if...Wang Lao's words and Jiang Yun's guess were surprisingly aligned.

Last night, it really was a powerful ruler who appeared and watched over my dreams.

But Jiang Yun also couldn't help but ask: "Why did he leave again"

If I let that little boy continue to appear, should he also appear with it and then have that little boy taken away

"He's really after you!" Wang Lao shook his head and said.

Since you have already come into contact with the realm beyond the world, then it means that you very likely will enter that level.

To him, you are a huge threat. How could he allow you to continue existing and growing

The old man's words caused Jiang Yun to chuckle helplessly.

As a humble cultivator of the Dao, to even attract the attention of such an overwhelmingly powerful being, and even be seen as a threat, is truly an honor!

In short, I've told you everything I can. If you let that boy appear again, as his influence grows, it will attract the attention of that ruler even more, causing him to reappear.

If you no longer let that boy appear, he might think it was just a coincidence and stop paying attention to you.

"As for how you decide, that's up to you!"

After he finished speaking, Wǎng Lǎo's figure had already vanished.

Of course, Jiang Yun fell into deep thought.

Although forgetting the old saying today did indeed surprise him, actually a lot of things he had already thought of before, it was just confirmation.

As for the serious consequences that Wang Lao mentioned, he didn't take them to heart either.

He faced all kinds of dangers and enemies from the moment he was born.

Now, whether facing a nightmare beast or the overlord above the realm of boundaries, it's just that the enemy's strength is greater.

Wàng Lǎo was also lost in thought. The reason why he told Jiāng Yún so many things today was entirely due to his identity.

Because he is Ginger Cloud's master!

He hopes that Ginger Cloud will be able to rein himself in, and not get the attention of that ruler anymore.

Then, there might still be hope for Jiang Yun to survive!

Just like that, Jiang Yun and Wang Lao fell silent. After sitting in quiet contemplation throughout the night, Jiang Yun rose to his feet and walked into the house.

And outside, houses, trees and figures one by one appeared.

And there, he is still that boy with a tiger-like spirit!

Seeing this boy, Wàng Lǎo couldn't help but close his eyes.

Ginger Cloud has made his choice!

Or, perhaps he did this simply to avoid arousing suspicion in Tie Ruonan, to allow her to pass these final ten years of her dream peacefully.

But no matter what the reason, this moment of forgetfulness, while tinged with disappointment, also brought a sense of relief.

Because, this kind of persistence is actually more like their style!

——

For the next while, Jiang Yun was almost never far from Tie Ru'nan's side.

And the deathly aura on Tie Ru Nan's body grew stronger and stronger. Most of the time, she was in a daze, her mind unclear, and in a state of slumber.

Especially in the end, apart from Ginger Cloud, she no longer recognized anyone else and couldn't remember anything!

Even if Jiang Yun were to remove all the dreams now, Tie Runan would not react at all.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yun fell silent.

Except when Tie Ruonan was awake, he would pretend to be fine and talk to Tie Ruonan. After Tie Ruonan fell asleep, he would keep his mouth shut and just stare at Tie Ruonan.

Wang Lao remained silent.

Neither nightmare beasts nor any powerful beings appeared in the Yandong Realm anymore.

Or perhaps, even if they appeared, Jiang Yun would be unable to detect them.

This dream, it truly felt like a real world, a paradise secluded from all disturbance.

As for the boy who already possessed self-awareness, he has now grown up and is about to turn sixteen.

And his appearance was too similar to that of 16-year-old Jiang Yun.

Although Gingercloud still made him disappear every night, his self-awareness was growing stronger.

Especially after he discovered that Jiang Yun didn't reject his presence, he sometimes even took the initiative to walk beside Jiang Yun and Tie Rumao, quietly watching them.

Thus, spring goes and autumn comes, ten years pass by in a flash!

That morning, Tie Ruonan woke up. The eyes that had been clouded for too long suddenly became incredibly clear.

Even, after seeing Jiang Yun holding her own palm, a blush rose on her wrinkled face.

Tie Ruonan bowed his head a little, looking a bit embarrassed as he said, "Big brother, I want to have some porridge!"

Okay, I'll get to work!

Jiang Yun smiled faintly, loosened her palm, and turned to walk outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, the smile on Jiang Yun's face vanished instantly. He closed his eyes and stood there motionless.

Because, he knew, this day had finally arrived!

After a moment, Jiang Yun reopened her eyes, reached out and rubbed her face hard. She turned and walked towards the kitchen. Opening the rice barrel, she took out some millet, added water, lit the fire, and began to cook porridge for Tie Ruxue.

After another moment, the door opened again. To everyone's surprise, Tie Ru-nan walked out without any help.

Although she still wore some simple clothes and her appearance was very old, her white hair was combed neatly, making her look much more spirited.

It was clearly inside the house, tidying up by himself.

Tie Ruonan walked straight to Jiang Yun's side and sat down. Looking at the villagers of Jiangcun who were gathering towards him, ready to greet him, Tie Ruonan smiled and said, "Big brother, let them all disperse!"

How about just the two of us today

This sentence made Gingercloud's heart tremble slightly, but she didn't ask anything. She just nodded and said, "Alright, everyone, disperse!"

At the utterance of a single, light phrase, all the villagers of Ginger Village immediately turned around and went back to their respective houses, shutting their doors.

At this moment, between heaven and earth, it seemed as if only Jiang Yun and Tie Runan were left!

Tie Ru's gaze also focused on Jiang Yun, and he softly said, "Big brother, thank you for spending sixty years with me and giving me a dream that was like a lifetime!"

Evidently, Tie Ru Nan already knew everything. He had known that sixty years of life had been just a dream!

Ginger cloud said nothing, only silently used the twig in her hand to stir the fire in front of her, making it burn more vigorously.

"Big brother, I'm leaving now. After I leave, you must get back to the way you were before. That's when you looked your best!"

"You need to live well, really live well, and do anything you want."

"And you shouldn't feel guilty anymore. Having you by my side for sixty years, I am incredibly satisfied!"

Even, I hope you can forget me, forever forgetting that there was ever a woman named Tie Ru'nan in your life!

As he spoke, Tie Rumen gently leaned his head against Jiang Yun's body and continued, "Big Brother, can I take another look at those mandarin ducks"mong the crowd, Zhu Shaoshao, who had once again disguised himself, looked at the cultivators with a sneer on his face and said: "This Emperor Fu Yi still has some skills. With such skill, he has alre...
