What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 1160

“So, this afternoon you pretended to be Ban Xia to come see me? And even what came afterward was you?”

Ye Yu gripped Feng Yingzhi’s right hand and stared fixedly at that blue ring. It was unmistakable—he remembered it very clearly from earlier today.

Feng Yingzhi’s eyes reddened as she hurried to explain, “Ban Xia is too timid. She likes you but can’t bring herself to speak. So I planned to confess to you on her behalf. I meant to say it and then leave, but you wouldn’t let me go—didn’t even give me a chance to explain!”

Ye Yu felt a flash of embarrassment. Well, it had all just fallen into place naturally—what was there to explain? Still, it was quite the mix-up: the confession had succeeded, but the target was wrong.

Feng Yingzhi looked anxious as she glanced at the now-sleeping Ban Xia and trembled, “You’ve got to figure out how to explain it to her. You absolutely can’t let her know what happened this afternoon—or it’ll be a mess. If it really doesn’t work, I can just go hide somewhere, dodge the fallout?”

She rose to leave, then noticed Xiao Meng floating nearby. She shivered. In her nervousness she’d failed to notice that this little Azure Ox Spirit Beast was here, too. It couldn’t speak, but it understood human speech and wrote down what it wanted to say with a brush. What to do now—should she kill the beast to silence it?

Sensing her murderous intent, Xiao Meng’s bovine face changed in alarm. It tried to hide behind Ye Yu, then remembered they were on the same side. It wheeled back above the sleeping Ban Xia and tapped repeatedly on her cheek with its little hoof.

Master, wake up! Your best friend not only secretly ate your meal but now wants to kill this poor ox spirit! It’s outrageous—wake up!

Ye Yu pressed a hand to Feng Yingzhi’s shoulder. “You can’t hide forever. All right—let me do the explaining. I’ll soothe Ban Xia. Don’t worry.”

At his words, Feng Yingzhi nodded vigorously. The warmth from his hand reminded her of the afternoon’s scene, and her cheeks flushed bright pink.

Ye Yu then lifted the sleeping Ban Xia and, before departing, tossed Xiao Meng into Feng Yingzhi’s arms. “Can’t take this third wheel with us—it’ll mess up the plan. Better leave it here.”

Xiao Meng immediately burst into tears. Hey, what are you doing? I’ve traveled the Celestial Realm with you, even ventured into the Demon Realm, helping you find people—that counts for something, right? And now you just dump me here? You clearly want me dead! Damn you!

...

A moment later, Ban Xia’s eyes fluttered open. She rubbed her mouth, recalling a dream in which she and Ye Yu lived shamelessly together, feeding each other celestial fruit, until she’d woken abruptly. The loss of that pleasant dream made her sad.
