BSI Chapter 268 Encounter in a Dream
Chapter 268 Encounter in a Dream
After smiling and watching the satisfied Meng Tianxiang and the figurine-shaped Muyue leave, Xue Youyou was finally left alone in the room, and tranquility returned.
Xue Youyou let out a soft breath and then stretched.
Although it's nice to stick together with everyone, Xue Youyou actually prefers to embrace the quiet night alone.
"Finally, this trouble is gone."
Xue Youyou clicked her tongue and sighed softly.
As for whether Xue Youyou would actually dare to sleep close to Muyue, she definitely wouldn't. Even if she used Xue Ran to control Muyue, Xue Youyou wouldn't dare to sleep with her; who knows what kind of trouble might arise?
This is evident from the fact that even Xue Ran couldn't assimilate the Crimson Moon Mark; there are still too many unexpected events that can happen in this world.
Therefore, it was actually a great thing that Meng Tianxiang was willing to take Muyue away.
Even if Meng Tianxiang is killed, Xue Youyou can still avenge her.
Moreover, with me here to oversee things, even if Mutsuki, who has been turned into a figurine, has the ability to resist, she probably wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.
As for what Meng Tianxiang told her before she left—such as Bao Yunxing and Lei Ying being captured, meeting the mythical hero king at the top of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower, and Manzhu and Lin Yan also participating in the Emperor's Ceremony…
Xue Youyou didn't care at all.
She simply waved her hand and replied casually: If you want to save Bao Yunxing and Lei Ying, just exchange Mu Yue for the prisoners. You don't need to discuss it with her.
When Meng Tianxiang heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but in the end she said nothing. She simply thanked him solemnly and then stepped into the void with Mutsuki in her figure form, disappearing from sight.
For Xue Youyou at this moment, the only thing she was truly interested in and curious about was how this once-in-a-millennium imperial sacrifice would be conducted.
It can't be decided simply through a battle, right?
If that's all there is to it, then she'll be very disappointed.
After all, for Xue Youyou, all the beast tamers in the entire Yue Lanzhou combined were no match for her.
Or to put it more directly, she could erase Lanzhou from the world's tectonic plates in an instant, if she so desired.
It's unclear which group of gods stands behind the Emperor's Sacrifice, but for the beings of Yuelan Prefecture, Xue Youyou is now undoubtedly the goddess in charge of destruction.
"Ku-ku-ku~"
Xue Youyou covered her mouth and let out a dark and wicked laugh that was extremely childish and cringeworthy.
The laughter echoed through the empty room for a few moments before finally dissipating into the moonlit shadows in the corner.
She is currently in an extremely excited state, and does not seem like someone who only has one month left to live.
Then, after laughing, Xue Youyou leaned back and jumped onto the bed, leaving a shallow indentation in the soft mattress.
She reached out and pulled the blanket over herself, wrapping herself up in a soft cocoon.
Xue Youyou closed her eyes, a lingering smile still on her lips.
In the moments before her consciousness sank into darkness, she vaguely thought—
Tomorrow, I was supposed to go back to Lanzhi City.
But it's probably impossible to go back to how things are now.
I wonder when that guy Lu Yuan will finally pay her back.
If they don't give it to me...
call……
...So she asked Tian Yubai to have a good talk with Lu Yuan.
With this thought in mind, Xue drifted off to sleep.
In the room, only the even breathing sounds and the eerie crescent moon outside the window silently overlooked the sleeping girl.

That night, Xue Youyou had a dream.
Since she transmigrated to this world of beast taming, she has almost never dreamed.
Each time I close my eyes, it's like sinking into pure darkness, with no images, no sounds, and no lingering shadows wandering through the gaps in my consciousness.
She once thought this was a side effect of time travel—her soul and this body were not yet fully integrated, and she wouldn't even dream about it.
But tonight is different.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the starry sky.
It is not a docile and tranquil star field like the Sacred Starry Sky, which is surrounded by artificial restrictions, but a real, boundless, and cold universe.
Countless galaxies slowly rotated before her eyes, nebulae spread out like a thin veil, stars burned and died in the distance, and the afterglow of a supernova explosion was like fireworks blooming in the depths of the universe.
She floated in this sea of stars, her body so light it felt weightless.
Xue Youyou subconsciously looked down at her hands—hands that were both incredibly familiar and strangely unfamiliar to her for far too long. The knuckles were distinct, the fingers long and slender, and faint blue veins were visible beneath the skin. They weren't the delicate, white fingers of a young girl, but rather the hands of an adult man—the hands of her past life.
Then there's the body, the width of the shoulders, the curve of the chest, and that masculine sense of balance she hadn't experienced in a very long time.
She reverted to her former self.
This realization made her pause for a moment, but soon, another, even more shocking realization came crashing down like a tsunami, completely engulfing her attention.
Before her, in the center of this boundless sea of stars, there was a being.
Xue Youyou's breathing stopped.
She once thought that Tianyu Bai was the limit that the word "huge" could encompass. Its towering figure, a megameter in size, was enough to kick small stars like soccer balls, and enough to make even ultimate-level pets look as insignificant as dust in front of it.
That was her proud masterpiece, proof of her reaching the pinnacle of this world.
But now, she realizes she was wrong.
That's completely wrong.
Compared to the being before him, Tian Yubai was not even a speck of dust.
It was a creature she could not fully describe in any language. Its outline was similar to a human, yet it transcended all human understanding of the word "form".
Its size is not measured in meters, kilometers, or megameters, but in galaxies.
The Milky Way flows through its hair, and nebulae entwine around its fingertips.
Its skin is frosty white, yet more translucent than any ice crystal, and clearer than any light.
Twelve feathers unfolded behind it, layer upon layer, each feather ending in a rotating galaxy, and every star seemed to be singing for it.
Its face is breathtakingly beautiful, yet so solemn that one dares not look directly at it.
Those eyes were slightly lowered, with eyelashes like star rings, and deep within the pupils was a frosty white sea of light, as if the very first ray of light from the beginning of the universe was sealed within them.
It simply floats there quietly, yet countless galaxies flow around it, as if the entire universe revolves around it.
All it does is breathe.
Inhale. Countless galaxies are drawn into its nostrils, the starlight turning into tiny specks of light the moment it enters its body, and nebulae being stretched into streaks of light, as if the entire universe is offering itself to it.
Exhale. The stars that had been inhaled were expelled from its lips, transforming back into complete galaxies, slowly rotating in its exhaled breath, returning to their original positions, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Between each breath, the universe is born and dies.
Xue Youyou's brain completely shut down at this moment.
She knew who it was.
How could she not know?
That was the ultimate goal she pursued throughout her entire gaming career in her previous life, the sole motivation that drove her to endure countless days and nights, run countless dungeons, and study countless strategy guides.
That was the strongest of all the known pet beasts in "The Contract of Ten Thousand Beasts," the eternal white moonlight in Xue Youyou's heart, a legend she almost touched—
Dreamlike Seed: Frosty Sky and Moonlit Snow Princess!
