What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 493

Pearl?

Ye Yu thought for ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) a moment.

In his memory, he had casually blasted Shi Zhenxi into dust that scattered in the wind.

He hadn’t seen anything else.

So Ye Yu shook his head slightly and said softly, “I didn’t see any pearl. Why, is that pearl very important?”

Mo Jiuming’s eyes darkened somewhat.

Then he began to explain about the pearl.

The pearl was entirely black, faintly shimmering with flowing light—quite extraordinary.

To others, it was useless, but to the Mo family, it held great significance.

It was a sword pearl from the Mo family’s ancient ancestor’s immortal sword.

In ancient times, the Mo family ancestor fought an enemy and ended up dying together.

Even the immortal sword broke, leaving only this pearl behind.

The Mo family descendants regarded it as their ancestor’s final relic, a cherished keepsake.

They placed it in the center of the Mo family ancestral hall.

Over tens of thousands of years, many had coveted it.

The reason was simple: the Mo ancestor was a powerful Immortal King realm figure.

A sword pearl left by such a figure could never be ordinary—it must contain some special secret.

Not only outsiders thought this way;

even some Mo family members had designs on the sword pearl.

To be frank, since the ancestor and sword were gone,

if the pearl were ordinary, why would it remain perfectly intact?

There had to be something hidden.

At first, only one or two Mo family members suspected this.

But as time passed, each time they worshiped it, they sensed the pearl was extraordinary.

Thus, a former Mo family head invited the clan to research the pearl together.

If any function could be discovered, it would be good for the Mo family.

After a century of careful research,

all Mo family immortals agreed the pearl had no use besides the unusual sword shadows it emitted.

Since then,

the pearl was returned to the ancestral hall’s center.

Mo family immortals regarded it only as the ancestor’s keepsake, with no further thought.

But the Mo family’s doubt was quelled,

which didn’t stop other immortals from coveting it!

Among them, Shi Zhenxi was one with strong initiative.

In his long years, he had been in many sects.

After leaving Taichu Sect, he came to the Mo family as a caretaker.

The Mo family was a cultivation clan whose strength was no weaker than other sects.

They had a good and bad habit:

Mo family members recognized only other Mo family members.

Though this strengthened clan cohesion, it also meant exclusion of outsiders.

Shi Zhenxi’s surname was Shi, not Mo.

For that reason alone, he could never rise high in the Mo family.

But he didn’t care.

He came to serve the Mo family for that sword pearl.

He had also heard the rumors outside.

So he firmly believed the pearl must hold something incredible.

In his eighth year with the Mo family,

Shi Zhenxi stole the pearl from the front of the ancestral hall.

This enraged all Mo family immortals.

Guarding against outsiders was hard, but the real threat came from inside!

Though the ancestor’s sword pearl had no practical use, it was the last relic left behind.

It was the face of the entire Mo family.

And now you, a petty thief, just stole it?

What of the Mo family’s reputation?

If this spread, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock in the entire immortal world?

The Mo family head was furious and immediately ordered a hunt on Shi Zhenxi.

No matter what, the pearl must be retrieved.

Whoever succeeded would become a candidate for the next Mo family head.

Bai Xichu was unwilling to be outdone.

She stepped forward and linked her arm through his right.

On each side, neither willing to yield,

leaving Ye Yu in the middle speechless.

He was just about to speak,

when Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling began arguing again.

“Shut up! I just emerged from seclusion, husband should come to me first!”

“Hah, just because you emerged means you’re right?

You just came out; your priority should be stabilizing your realm!

Let go quickly and let me take care of husband.”

“You should be the one letting go!

Husband, don’t you know in our Demon Realm there’s a saying: succubi kill without knives.

You better watch out!”

“Don’t talk nonsense! What do you mean succubi kill without knives?

Believe it or not, I’ll knife you right now!”

As the two’s quarrel escalated,

Ye Yu could no longer bear it.

He broke free from their grasp and said, “All of you shut up.

You two are not allowed to quarrel anymore.

And today, I won’t go to either of you.

Jiujiu, let’s go.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Jiuu promptly followed, obediently trailing Ye Yu away.

Perhaps this was the classic case of “When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains.”

Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling stomped angrily, 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

then glanced at each other, suppressing their urge to fight,

snorted coldly, and went east and west respectively,

aiming for complete separation.

That afternoon,

a scholar-like immortal wearing a tall crown came to Wuwei Tower.
