"Though the dream of Paradise began with me, what you can ultimately see is irrelevant to me."
Hua Xujun interrupted his question, responding bluntly, "No matter what you dream of, Ji Jue, it belongs to you.
I'd say you are far luckier than that unlucky fellow just now.
Regardless of reality or illusion, those thoughts and blessings entangled around you are genuine.
As for whether it is truly a dream, is it really that important?"
The black cat seemed to smile and asked rhetorically,
"Didn't they love you?"
"..."
In the long silence, Ji Jue remained quiet, and after a while, sincerely lowered his head, "Lesson learned."
"From beginning to now, finally hearing something heartfelt."
The black cat shook its fur, slowly stood up, jumped onto the gem-adorned luxurious cat tree, sat on the topmost golden cat nest and silk cushion, immediately exuding Divine Energy and increased majesty.
Like an emperor, holding its head high and puffing out its chest.
Yet, no matter how you look at it, it's strange.
"Isn't it strange for you instead? My form clearly reflects the visitors' guesses and thoughts, yet it turned out to be a cat?
You little rascal, have some limits to your disrespect for your seniors, got it?"
Hua Xujun raised its cat paw, seemingly irritated, and patted him on the forehead and hair twice, turned around twice on the cushion, curled up, and found a comfortable position to lie down.
"Alright, enough idle chatter. Myriad Phenomena Paradise is my territory, as a ruler, I cannot be unjust.
Seeing as you let me watch a good show and helped me recover this fragment, what reward do you desire?"
11111! Brother, are you really giving it?
Ji Jue's eyes lit up, ready to open his mouth and quote a price, but Hua Xujun's teasing voice interrupted, "But, in truth, I am but a pauper with nothing but illusory fantasies... I don't have the things from the outside world.
Not to mention any workshops, equipment, or blessing, the Fire Cutter is still behind me. In my era, your Superior and Great Evil did not exist, without that desolate Hell, there weren't these fancy trinkets."
Even as it said this, its tail, wrapped around the fragment, swayed slightly.
Wrapped within the black tail, the Treasure Bead shimmered with a faint light, crystal clear, so exquisite.
Almost a clear suggestion.
——Would you like this Huangliang Remains?
Ji Jue instinctively moved his head back a little, trying hard to restrain an expression of disdain, his smile stiffened, "Can we exchange it?"
"..."
Hua Xujun remained silent, looking at him, its claws slowly extended one by one, wanting to mend this dog-faced look—did it think the piece of my dream was cheap?
Previously, when Wen Sheng angrily questioned, the cat enjoyed it like a gentle spring breeze, but now Ji Jue's look of disdain, not even wanting it for free, made the King of Chaos a little hurt.
But having spoken, it looked for a long time, then reluctantly squeezed out a sound.
"Okay."
You brat, better not push your luck anymore!
Thus, Ji Jue without hesitation turned back, pointing downward at that quiet Sea of Souls, immersed in illusion and dreams.
"Then, please, let them dream a dream." Ji Jue hesitated for a moment, then added, "A deserved beautiful dream, just like... the one I dreamt before."
The Holy God's faith and lies, the church's manipulation and exploitation, the honey and poison Wen Sheng scattered, the entrapment and imprisonment of the Fly King.
Too much pain, too much torment.
In life, unnecessary tribulations are already too many.
Swept into this struggle, experiencing countless unwarranted catastrophes, but since everything is over, at least they can have a dream of their own, right?
Then, after a long silence, the black cat suddenly smiled slightly, looking at him.
"Alright."
Good things in this world are fragile, like colorful clouds easily shattering and glass easily breaking.
Many hardships and tribulations in life, as long as one is alive, the torments are too many, what compensation is better than a beautiful dream?
For Hua Xujun, it's just a casual act, no trouble.
"And also..." Ji Jue made another request, discerning its expression.
"Hmm?"
Hua Xujun tilted its head, showing no annoyance or displeasure, motioned him to speak freely.
"If, I mean, if..."
Ji Jue took a deep breath, lifted his head, solemnly pleading, "If after waking from the dream, they are still willing, and have the courage to open their eyes and face that world, can you let them return?"
"Of course, I told you, Myriad Phenomena Paradise is not a prison, it is a place of free coming and going. Visitors are not refused, nor are those departing pursued." Hua Xujun waved its paw, "Only, if there's no body, then there's nothing I can do about it.
You aren't expecting me to give more just to clean up someone else's mess, are you?"
"That's enough."
Ji Jue bowed his head, expressing gratitude.
"Besides that?"
The cat twitched its ears, growing a little impatient, "I said, Myriad Phenomena Paradise is my domain, hosting guests, holding banquets, bidding farewell and welcoming, is naturally my duty, it's not considered a reward or reward.
Besides... isn't what you truly desire in your heart something else?"
It paused, leaned closer, amber eyes enlarging, as if encompassing the sky and earth, reflecting Ji Jue's small silhouette.
"I can see, Ji Jue, your desires are surging within. A dream is a place where all is permitted, so why hide?"
