What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 844

In fact, as the Demon Lords of the Hundred Tribes had guessed, Nangong Jingtang’s current condition really was abnormal.

Ye Yu felt this more keenly than anyone.

Ever since Nangong Jingtang had closed her eyes, she had never opened them again.

All the way here, it had been Ye Yu guiding her into the City Lord’s mansion.

Once everything was settled,

Ye Yu even ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) thought that Nangong Jingtang had slipped back into slumber, and instinctively tried to withdraw his hand.

To his surprise, a wave of demon power had already bound her palm to his completely,

Resulting in a push-and-pull standoff—he couldn’t separate their hands no matter how he tried.

Honestly, the situation reminded Ye Yu of Senior Sister Tuoba Qiyue, though it wasn’t exactly the same.

Tuoba Qiyue had liked to interlace fingers, whereas Nangong Jingtang pressed palm to palm.

The gesture was different, but both involved their right hands.

What did that mean? Would they have to remain locked like this forever?

Just as Ye Yu felt conflicted, Ye Jizui entered the City Lord’s main hall.

Upon seeing him, Ye Yu’s heart leapt as if he’d spotted a savior, and he was about to speak, only to be silenced by a warning look.

Then Ye Jizui’s voice sounded in his mind: “What’s going on here? Tell me slowly, and don’t alarm Madam Nangong. Her current state might not be stable!”

Ye Yu then related everything that had happened.

Ye Jizui’s expression grew even more grave.

The Rebirth Drum of Futiān was a treasure passed down among the Peacock Clan and was said to grant the power of rebirth, but no one had ever actually used it.

Nangong Jingtang was the first among the demon tribes to employ it, so nobody knew what might happen.

The only solution was to wait.

Wait until Nangong Jingtang awoke, and then assess her condition.

Ye Yu felt displeased at the suggestion.

He now seriously wondered if the owl’s defining trait was chronic patience—never taking initiative and always wanting to wait things out.

Couldn’t he be more proactive?

Of course, although Ye Yu thought this, there really wasn’t a better option for now.

He could only wait a while longer.

Night fell, and the City Lord’s mansion became eerily quiet.

Ye Jizui was still investigating traitors within the Chaotic Demon City, hoping to see if there were any more who’d betrayed their own besides Sang Yuyun and Nangong Xiao.

In the vast hall, only Ye Yu and Nangong Jingtang remained.

Staring at their still-joined palms, Ye Yu couldn’t help but sigh. “I really want to move my wrist a bit—it’s getting sore.”

He shifted his hand, and suddenly the layer of demon power vanished.

His hand could finally be withdrawn.

That feeling of freedom thrilled him.

But before he could savor it, Ye Yu noticed that Nangong Jingtang had also awakened; her eyes were fixed intently on him.

She had looked at Zhu Rixian that way once before.

And then he was gone.

Now she looked at him like that—could it be...

“Who... are you?”

Nangong Jingtang’s voice was soft and slightly muddled, not matching her usual dignified bearing, giving her an almost dazed air.
