What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 1218

The next day, Xie Buyu departed from Lieyang Gate. Before leaving, she sincerely thanked Ye Yu and Elder Ge and promised that—should the opportunity arise—she would repay their kindness.

Elder Ge asked her what she planned to do next. “If you have no clear direction,” he said, “you could go to the Western Divine Realm. There you can lay down your hatred and start anew. With your strength, you could surely reestablish Wuliang Hall. I’ll even stay behind to help you hold it.”

Xie Buyu smiled sadly. She knew Elder Ge meant well—he wanted to dissuade /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ her from a reckless course. But she shook her head. “Some things must be done, no matter the cost. No matter what Dongfang Yelai plots, my master’s grace is too great. His artifact must be reclaimed by me. I cannot allow those old dogs to wield it and make mockery of us.”

Elder Ge frowned, about to urge her again, but Ye Yu gently intercepted him. Ye Yu understood that some people were immovable—call it obstinacy or call it resolve, they would not turn back even if they struck their head against a wall. “It’s understandable that you wish to recover the Heavenly Devourer Axe,” Ye Yu said, “but I advise waiting until you are stronger or more certain. Otherwise you risk riding to your death—and still fail to reclaim your master’s weapon, becoming a laughingstock.”

Xie Buyu’s eyes flickered. She cupped her hands once more, then left Lieyang Gate. After her departure, Elder Ge sighed deeply.

Two days later, Ye Yu grew restless. He could not spend endless days in idleness—he needed to grow stronger. Otherwise, each passing day would be mere wasted time. He approached Elder Ge and firmly took the wooden “Soul Severance” replica. “Since you can’t tame the artifact spirit right now, let me hold it for self-defense.” 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Those words struck Elder Ge speechless—then his face fell. “Boy, don’t use Soul Severance for protection! Bring it back and I’ll forge you a real divine artifact.”

“No need,” Ye Yu waved him off. “This is fine.” With that, he vanished from the annex.

Elder Ge tore at his hair in panic. Even a genuine high-grade artifact would serve as a decent defense despite an uncooperative spirit. But this “Soul Severance” was merely wood! Using it for self-defense... was absurd!

Behind him, the solid-wood table’s underside bore the outline of a wooden blade—identical in size to the one Ye Yu had taken. Elder Ge had intended to craft a fake while the real Soul Severance was missing, simply to placate Ye Yu until his passion faded. Then he would claim the spirit was irretrievable and make a replacement. It had seemed reasonable... until Ye Yu planned to actually use the fake in battle.
