What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 914

This sentence instantly left Ye Yu puzzled.

“Comfort me?”

Why would she need comforting?

He glanced at Feng Yingzhi, only to see her cross her arms and turn away—exactly like a sulking child needing to be placated.

Honestly, Ye Yu’s first instinct wasn’t to soothe Feng Yingzhi, but to check whether her shenhun had been tampered with.

Immortal, he thought, I suspect you’ve been possessed!

In Ye Yu’s mind, Feng Yingzhi was the devoted “master” of artifact creation and research. She’d dedicated her life to advancing immortal treasures, to the point of neglecting even her own appearance—how could she behave so petulantly? It felt completely out of character.

Noticing Ye Yu pressing a hand to her forehead, Feng Yingzhi frowned. “What are you doing?”

“It’s not right... your spirit is stable; it doesn’t look like possession,” Ye Yu muttered, then began poking her cheeks and temples. “Is it the Immortal Artifact Mask? Tell me—who are you really?”

“Mm mm mm!” Feng Yingzhi struggled, and Pei Chuxia hurried over to pull Ye Yu away. “Husband, what are you doing?”

In a low voice, Ye Yu explained, “It’s not what I’m doing, but what Feng Yingzhi did. Her behavior today was far too abnormal! Something’s definitely off!”

Pei Chuxia rolled her eyes. Patiently, she sat Ye Yu down and began to explain.

To Feng Yingzhi, every artifact she crafted was like her own child. She’d poured vast effort and rare materials into the Celestial Realm Boundary Pearl, determined to rectify her previous mistake repairing the Netherworld Boundary Pearl and finally gift Ye Yu a truly practical, exquisite treasure—so he would no longer mock her.

After overcoming countless obstacles, she had completed the Celestial Realm Boundary Pearl and eagerly presented it to Ye Yu. But instead of praise, she’d become the laughingstock of the entire Wu Wei Tower.

Feng Yingzhi had been deeply wounded and spent the day venting to Pei Chuxia when Ye Yu happened to walk in. Pei Chuxia, quick-witted, asked if he was there to comfort Feng Yingzhi—to remind him to appease her. Unfortunately, the plan backfired spectacularly.

Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t a case of possession after all.

He approached Feng Yingzhi and gently said, “I shouldn’t have rejected your work. It won’t happen again—okay?”

Feng Yingzhi pointed to her cheek and complained in a muffled voice, “Your grip hurt. Did you mean to squish me?” 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ye Yu exhaled. Squish her? Did she think herself a fragile toy?

He wanted to tease her, but when he saw the pink Boundary Pearl on her desk, he held back. Girls who loved pink often had princess hearts; a little fragility was to be expected. And after all, it was her who had inspired the creation of the Celestial Realm Boundary Pearl. He couldn’t be too harsh, professionally or personally.

After thinking, he said softly, “Sorry—I was just worried about you. As an apology, may I cook roast goose for you tonight?”

At the mention of roast goose, Feng Yingzhi’s face lit up. Ye Yu’s culinary skills far exceeded her expectations. Before coming to Wu Wei Tower, she’d hardly eaten anything, but after sampling his cooking at the madams’ feast, she’d been hooked—dreaming of tasting it again.

“If you sincerely want to cook, I’ll reluctantly eat some!” she said in mock resignation.
