Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 319 - 274 Sleeping Dream Cliff

The sky gradually darkened, and school had let out.

Students streamed out of the classrooms, their faces adorned with smiles.

However, many of them knew Wu Hen, and when they saw the expelled Wu Hen sitting on the steps at the school gate, quite a few of them spoke in a teasing tone.

Wu Hen looked at these innocent high school students and couldn’t help but sneer.

"You won’t evolve, to me you’re like frogs in a well watching the moon; if you evolve, to me you’ll be like ants seeing the sky!"

"Wu Hen, are you waiting for Yang Qin to finish school?"

"Have you two established a relationship?"

A few girls from other classes also knew Wu Hen and started teasing him when they saw him.

Wu Hen was puzzled, why would these girls think that way?

It seemed like when he went to his own classroom in the morning, there were also some who cheered.

"Wait a minute, when I dropped out yesterday, did something different happen?" Wu Hen immediately stopped a few girls from the other classes who were making a fuss.

"Ah, yesterday when you dropped out, didn’t Yang Qin bid you farewell in front of the whole school on the playground? We all thought you two were together!" said the girl from the neighboring class.

Wu Hen frowned.

Before this dream day, he had indeed just dropped out.

But when he dropped out, only the homeroom teacher and he had talked for a bit, Yang Qin didn’t come to see him off.

Why did Yang Qin do that in the dream?

...

As the night grew darker, Wu Hen’s time in this dream realm was almost up.

Wang Rui, Yang Qin, Tian Jia Bao, and Luo Yuying were late in returning.

Tian Jia Bao had found her Ancient Dream Demon, who turned out to be her next-door neighbor, definitely not Li Feng.

Neither Luo Yuying nor Yang Qin had found their Ancient Dream Demons, and they were frantic, the people around them grew increasingly malicious toward them, and what bizarre and terrifying things might happen in the dream at night was hard to say, after all, they were all in a waking state in this dream.

"Why don’t we search again, there must be something missing," Wang Rui said.

"No need," Wu Hen interjected.

Yu Yu, standing aside, turned her gaze to Wu Hen, wanting to know if he could lead his classmates out of the dream realm.

"Why not? The three of you found your Ancient Dream Demons, what about the two of us, are we going to be trapped in this dream?" Luo Yuying said anxiously.

"Among the five of us, one is the Ancient Dream Demon," Wu Hen said.

"Huh?" The others looked at each other, trying to spot any inconsistencies in each other’s eyes and expressions.

"Since the three of us have found ours, it proves we’re not the Ancient Dream Demons, so between Luo Yuying and Yang Qin, who is it?" Wang Rui was quick to react, his gaze sweeping towards the last two girls who hadn’t found their Dream Demons.

"I’m not!"

"I’m not either!" Yang Qin said.

"Just now I encountered a very strange thing; yesterday in this dream realm, which was the day I dropped out, Yang Qin actually came to see me off," Wu Hen said.

"That’s impossible, Yang Qin clearly didn’t see you off, a lot of people saw it," Tian Jia Bao said.

"In reality, Yang Qin indeed didn’t do that, but in this dream world it changed, and we can conclude that Yang Qin’s dream is not on the same day as ours, her dream was yesterday, and ours was today," Wu Hen said.

"We know what you’re saying, but... but why didn’t you enter the same dream as us? We all dreamt of the same day, the morning when Li Feng announced the world as virtual. What’s more outrageous is that in the dream, you were also with us, and we were all looking for Ancient Dream Demons, and the you in our dream turned out to be the Ancient Dream Demon!" Luo Yuying said angrily.

"Ah??" Yang Qin wasn’t aware their dream was so peculiar either.

"You had a different dream from us, huh!" Tian Jia Bao said.

"What was your dream like, tell us quickly," Luo Yuying demanded.

Yang Qin smiled mysteriously, glancing towards Lord Wu Hen, "It’s like making a wish, if I tell you, it won’t come true."

"You discovered the Ancient Dream Demon before us?" Wu Hen was also surprised.

It turned out, Yang Qin had awakened early and was already waiting for them here.

"Actually, not long after walking in the dream, I noticed something unreal, so I confronted the Dream Demon there, asking why he pretended to be my friend, and he admitted he was an Ancient Dream Demon," Yang Qin said.

Wu Hen nodded.

His speculations weren’t far off, but he hadn’t expected Yang Qin to figure it out herself.

Indeed, Cha Cha is smart—not foolish at all.

"Hehehe, do you think we wouldn’t know what dream you are having?" Luo Yuying and Tian Jia Bao finally understood what Wu Hen mentioned earlier and they started laughing mischievously, "You dreamt of the day Lord Wu Hen dropped out of school, armed with the memory that now you know Lord Wu Hen will achieve Ascension and become a Saint, you tried everything in your power to please him, to make up for the foolish actions you once committed!"

"Ah?????" Yang Qin’s face flushed red in an instant!

How did they know!!

Yang Qin was both embarrassed and shocked, wishing she could quickly find a crevice in the cliff to squeeze into!

"Forget it, I’m a man you’ll never have; keep dreaming," Wu Hen stretched out his hand, patted Yang Qin’s head, and said arrogantly.

"Hahahaha, among billions of humans, you’re the finest male, Yang Qin. You need to beat how many exceptional human females to possibly win Lord Wu Hen’s heart—it really can only happen in dreams!" The two girls mercilessly mocked Yang Qin.

Yang Qin became enraged, and even thought about activating the golden Xuan Crystal Silk inside her body to kill these two classmates and silence them, but she quickly realized she was now an Awakener and didn’t carry her evolved Mutation abilities.

"Let’s stop the quarrel now. Do you guys have an exit key?" Wu Hen said.

The four immediately tried calling the Virtual Helmet’s equipped consciousness exit function; quickly, they heard the AI voice of the Virtual Helmet.

"Do you wish to exit Otherworldly Dust?"

It was the same voice as the initial version that asks, "Confirm entering into Otherworldly Dust?"

As long as they confirmed their exit, their consciousness would instantly return to their own soul bodies!

Excitement spread across all five faces!

They could enter and also exit.

This was how Otherworldly Dust was meant to be!

But thinking of the hardship over the years, and how many people had worked hard for this "exit key," they couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

"Shall we exit now?" Wang Rui asked.

Everyone had found their Ancient Dream Demons and received the gifted Element.

They had their gains and could leave now.

"We’re here already; why not walk a bit further?" Luo Yuying boldly suggested, her eyes fixed on the rainy world far beyond Sleeping Dream Cliff.

"That’s fine, we have an exit key now, whatever the danger, just leave directly... Even if the exit key malfunctions, each of us has an Element, we can use it to return home by crushing it," Wu Hen nodded.
