  Lin Shu was dreaming.

  In his dream, he sat cross-legged in the center of the Sword Pavilion Hall.

  It was snowing outside the hall and the north wind was howling.

  He closed his eyes and practiced his mental method.

  There was a mixture of things; born naturally, lonely and desolate, independent and unchanging.

  Spiritual power arises from his four limbs and all his bones, and runs continuously in his body with the great Zhou.

  Very cold spiritual power, even with the whole person empty, he didn’t know what happened at the end of the day.

  He was in a daze for a while, and felt that this kind of feeling had not appeared for a long, long time.

  In a daze, he heard someone calling himself, somewhere far away.

  It seems to be shouting a name, with a “Shu” character.

  Lin Shu thought hard, it was time to wake up.

  But his whole body was heavy and weak, and he couldn’t open his eyes. He should have been caught in a nightmare.

  Lin Shu tried to move his fingers, then regained his body consciousness little by little, and finally opened his eyes.

  There was darkness before his eyes.

  Lin Shu blinked slowly.

  It was still dark, exactly the same as before he opened them.

  He stretched out his hand and covered his eyes.

  The eyes were still there.

  Blind?

  He was confused and blinked again.

  Still none.

  At this moment, a hand grabbed his wrist.

  The hand was firm and strong, but a bit cold.

  Lin Shu has no allergic reaction, so he guessed it was Ling Fengxiao.

  It’s just that he couldn’t guess which skin this person was wearing again.

  “Your meridians are all broken, and there is blood stasis on your eyes, you need to rest.” A male voice said lightly.

  The voice was very ethereal at first sound, mighty and cold, like a lonely moon in the sky.

  He felt it was familiar, and when he thought more about it carefully, it was Xiao Shao.

  He relaxed a little, and held Xiao Shao’s hand back.

  The first place in the martial arts ranking in Dreamscape battle arena was indeed Big Miss.

  This could also explain why Xiao Shao disappeared from the ranking——because Big Miss went to closed-door cultivation.

  But…… he always felt something was very wrong.

  As long as he knew that Cousin was posing as Big Miss, he realized the superb acting skills of this person. Holding hands at this time, he thought about being in such close contact with another man, and felt a little wrong.

  However, the contact between them did not stop there.

  He was supported by Xiao Shao, leaning against this person’s chest, and was half embraced.

  Xiao Shao said: “Drink your medicine.”

  Lin Shu nodded.

  Xiao Shao has a very light, and cold fragrance.

  Unlike the incense on Big Miss’s body, this fragrance was as if there was nothing, like walking in the snow to search for plums and it couldn’t be found for a long time. In the misty icy air, the night breeze delivered a very light plum fragrance.

  The next moment, a spoon was gently pressed to his lips.

  Lin Shu obeyed and opened his mouth, swallowing the soup.

  It has a sweet taste in the bitterness, and it seemed to have been specially added with sugar, so it was not difficult to drink.

  After drinking, Lin Shu asked, “Where are we?”

  Before the words fell, he heard the door ring, and a hearty and simple, seemingly elderly female voice said: “Mr. Xiao is your wife awake?”

  Xiao Shao said: “She’s awake.”

  “Just wake up!” the female said, “I’ll kill a chicken and give the little lady a stew!”

  Lin Shu thought for a while, remembering that he was still in women’s clothing, and Ling Fengxiao had changed into men’s clothing, so—— she became Xiao Shao’s wife?

  Okay, although it has been reversed, it was not bad.

  He heard Xiao Shao say: “Thank you, auntie.”

  “It’s okay, you young couple are so pitiful, you have been in such a difficult situation!” The aunt sighed. “I’ll go first, you have to take good care of her.”

  Xiao Shao said: “Naturally.”

  The accent of this lady was very strange, it was not like Southern Xia or Northern Xia.

  \r \r \r

  When she left, Xiao Shao told the whole story to Lin Shu.

  They are in a village.

  It was said to be a village, but it was not.

  Yesterday, Lin Shu passed out and became unconscious, and Xiao Shao led him to continue northwards.

  There was no one in the wilderness, with mountains and dry trees rustling, no people, only a small stream, but didn’t know where it originated.

  Xiao Shao walked along the stream and saw the plum blossom by the stream.

  At that time, the plum blossoms bloomed and were extremely beautiful.

  Xiao Shao realized the strangeness.

  The plum blossoms shouldn’t be in bloom at this time–at least until the middle of January or February, when the weather gets warmer, the snow disappears and the ice melts.

  He checked the surroundings and found that it was warmer here than elsewhere.

  Further exploration found that the water in the stream was slightly yellow, with the smell of sulfur.

  Xiao Shao immediately realized that there was something strange here, so he went all the way to the source of the stream. The more he went upstream, the more plum blossoms were flourishing. He didn’t find the source of the stream, but found that in an extremely hidden mountain, the stream flowed into a hot spring.

  Because of the pleasant environment of the hot spring, he planned to stop here for a while to treat Lin Shu.

  Lin Shu had shed cold sweats and were attached to his clothes. It must be very uncomfortable.

  There happened to be withered vines on the mountain wall, so he went to break the vine branches and planned to start a fire.

  ——Unexpectedly, in the mountain wall, under the cover of withered vines, there was a deep slit in which there was wind in it.

  The two were evading Northern Xia’s pursuit, naturally the more concealed they were, the better——Xiao Shao hugged Lin Shu and walked into the slit.

  Then, as he walked further and further, deeper and deeper, he actually saw the faint light ahead.

  ——Then, it suddenly became clear.

  He came to an isolated village.

  The village was surrounded by mountains, surrounded by cliffs that thrust into the sky on all sides, and the upper part of the village was blocked by sloping mountains. Therefore, no matter which direction you look at, it was difficult to see its existence even in the sky.

  There were villagers in the village. Seeing outsiders coming, they asked in surprise.

  It turned out that two hundred years ago, during an extremely violent earthquake, the mountain slipped down, completely blocking the access to the outside.

  The villagers didn’t mind living here. They were self-sufficient and even free from the heavy burden of taxes. They had no worries about food and clothing and were happy. For the past two hundred years, the idea of going out has gradually been dispelled.

  Because they were not in contact with the outside world, the people here were extremely simple. Xiao Shao hid their identities and said that they were a couple in distress who had encountered robbers on the road. They were desperate and found this place unexpectedly.

  The villagers helped, cleared out a clean house, and asked about the situation outside.

  Xiao Shao said that the outside situation was not good, and there will be war at any time.

  The villagers were grateful that they lived here, they could avoid war and famine.

  Lin Shu listened and thought of a text he had learned in Junior High School.

  The Wuling people were fishermen, as their profession, they travelled by the river, forgetting the distance of the roads, and suddenly came to a peach blossom forest……

  It’s the 《Peach Blossom Land》.

  And this isolated village is just like a living Peach Blossom Land.

  This ‘Peach Blossom Land’ was extremely hidden, and no one has found it for two hundred years. It was extremely safe. Xiao Shao said that he went outside last night to erase their footprints and other traces, and then covered up the entrance to ensure that it would not be found.

  Lin Shu relaxed.

  Xiao Shao hugged him and asked, “Does it still hurt?”

  Hurts.

  It still hurts.

  But it was much better than before he fainted, and it was within a tolerable range.

  Lin Shu said, “It’s okay”.

  At this moment, he leaned against Xiao Shao and heard the sound of croaking chickens outside, the crackling sound of firewood burning in the kitchen, and the voices of women and children talking from afar. He felt very peaceful.

  This Peach Blossom Land must be as peaceful as the legendary one.

  Xiao Shao hugged him tightly.

  Lin Shu felt that his chest was a little hard.

  It was not as hard as a man, but not as soft as a girl, but very strong.

  Although he knew that Big Miss’s chest was flat, it was too flat.

  Because he couldn’t see anything, Xiao Shao was still in the state of men’s clothing. Instead, he became more courageous, he tentatively attached his hand to Xiao Shao’s left chest and pressed it.

  It’s not soft.

  It’s not soft at all.

  The only elasticity was because there was a layer of muscle.

  Lin Shu recognized the difference between fat and muscle.

  Lin Shu: “???”

  This was almost a flawless, man’s body.

  Was Big Miss so dedicated?

  Then he felt the man’s chest shake.

  Xiao Shao said with a smile, “What are you doing?”

  The voice was very low. It came into his ears as if something was scratching it. Lin Shu almost wanted to stir up his spirit.

  He pretended that nothing had happened and withdrew his hand.

  Xiao Shao smoothed his hair, put something into his hand, and said, “This is for you.”

  It was a very light brocade bag. It was not a brocade bag commonly used by the immortal cultivators. It was an ordinary brocade bag. But the embroidery and patterns on the surface of the brocade bag were one hundred times more exquisite than ordinary brocade bags.

  Lin Shu asked, “What is this?”

  Xiao Shao said: “Hair.”

  Knotting hair here is a very solemn ceremony.

  He said: “We are married as a husband and wife, you will be loved without a doubt. The eternal desire for each other is the only way to death.”

  Lin Shu felt that his palm was a little hot.

  Xiao Shao said: “We are here to cultivate. Once you have recovered, we will return to Southern Xia. Your meridians are all broken. I’m afraid you need……dual cultivation.”

  Dual cultivation, Lin Shu is very nervous when it comes to this.

  And also. . .

  He said: “I can’t see.”

  “It doesn’t matter.” Xiao Shao lightly kissed his forehead.

  Doesn’t it matter?

  Lin Shu was very suspicious.

  But he has always been very obedient, and since it’s okay to say it, then treat it as okay.

  He didn’t speak anymore, holding the brocade bag, he felt very hot and had difficulty breathing.

  And……

  Xiao Shao’s shell was too realistic.

  All the time, he felt that he was being held by a man.

  Big Miss was already decisive and domineering enough, there was no doubt that this feeling is even more intense at this time.

  He felt that he was dominated by Xiao Shao, except for being held obediently, he didn’t want to move.

  Xiao Shao continued: “Ling Fengxiao is a human skin, and Ling Xiao is a disguise replacement. I often wondered, when I can meet you with my true appearance, I never thought it would be today.”

  Lin Shu: “?”

  Lin Shu: “???”

  He said: “What are you…… talking about?”

  Xiao Shao said: “Say Xiao Shao.”

  Lin Shu: “Xiao Shao, what’s the matter?”

  Xiao Shao gently kissed his ear this time and said, “It’s me.”

  “I know……” Lin Shu’s voice was stiff and trembling: “Where is Ling Fengxiao?”

  “I walk the rivers and lakes in the body of Ling Fengxiao, with the Truth Mantra in my body, I can’t say more.” Xiao Shao’s voice also had a little hesitation: “This matter, don’t you and I know it by heart?”

  “No……” Lin Shu’s voice had begun to drift: “Are you…… a man?”

  He heard Xiao Shao’s voice also a little erratic: “Otherwise? Why would you ask for a baby daughter with a girl?”

  Lin Shu felt that he was about to suffocate and die in the next moment: “If I don’t ask a baby daughter with a girl, should I ask it with a man?”

  Xiao Shao said, “Isn’t it natural for you to make an engagement with a man?”

  Lin Shu’s head went blank.

  After a long while, he said with difficulty: “Do you mean…… I am a girl?”

  He felt Xiao Shao went silent.

  The next moment, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable around his neck and coughed violently.

  Xiao Shao stroked his back, his voice a little nervous: “What’s the matter?”

  Lin Shu coughed as he felt a familiar heat flow on his shoulders, neck and face, which was similar to the feeling when he took the Illusory Pill.

  He pressed his neck and felt a bulge gradually coming out.

  At the beginning, after eating the Illusory Pill, he pressed his adam’s apple inward because he wanted to wear a woman’s dress. The thing was originally not very obvious, and he couldn’t see it at all when he pressed it in.

  Now it’s back to its original state, it’s probably because the effect of the Illusory Pill has passed.

  Lin Shu let go of his hand that was pressing on his neck, and said weakly, “The effect of the Illusory Pill has passed.”

  The next moment, he felt Xiao Shao’s movements stop.

  There was a stifling silence in the room.

  For a moment, Lin Shu didn’t even know whether to cherish himself or Xiao Shao.

  He desperately got out of Xiao Shao’s arms and buried himself in the quilt.

  Xiao Shao didn’t stop him.

  The door rang, and the lady came in.

  “Well, what’s the matter? Did you two fight? Just now I looked in the window. Weren’t you two still kissing and hugging?” The woman’s voice was very loud: “Mr. Xiao, this is your fault! Just as she woke up, why did you get angry with her? ”

  With a sound of footsteps, the auntie approached, forcibly pulled away Lin Shu’s quilt, and pulled his left hand out, and the other hand pulled Xiao Shao’s right hand, putting both hands together: “You lose your temper for trivial matters, look back and think about it, why bother! Young couples, how can they be so angry? Come on, what’s the matter? Tell the lady!”

  No, there was nothing to be angry about.

  I just had a dream.

  I should wake up now.

  Let me wake up.

  ———–

  Rose: Nope, it’s not a dream. *Sips tea*

  Zaki: *Grabs tea and looks at my chest* I assure you even if they’re flat I’m a girl.
