What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 977

A moment later, an immortal maiden of fair appearance emerged from the Nirvana Tower. She sized Xu Nanqiao up and down for a long moment. Noticing that Xu Nanqiao’s face was completely hidden beneath her cloak, the maiden couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“Who are you? And why have you come seeking Ye Yu?” she asked.

“I... I am Ye Yu’s wife,” Xu Nanqiao replied after hesitation, “I’ve traveled a great distance to find him. May I see him?”

Xu Nanqiao bit her lip, unwilling to reveal that she was of the demon race—after all, one can never fully trust another’s heart. In this world, aside from Ye Yu, she trusted no one.

The maiden’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wife? He never once mentioned a wife!”

At those words, Xu Nanqiao’s face drained of color. Never mentioned? Why not?

Sensing her unease, the maiden hastened to say, “I am his sister, Ye Huilan. My little brother is not one for words and tends to keep everything to himself—perhaps he simply didn’t have the chance to tell me. But if you truly are his wife, come with me into the sect. Ye Yu is away traveling; it may be some time before he returns. You can speak with him then.”

Xu Nanqiao’s eyes went wide. “You’re not afraid I might be an impostor?”

Ye Huilan smiled and shook her head. “The moment you said you were Ye Yu’s wife, I knew you spoke the truth. He has not used the name ‘Ye Yu’ in nearly two hundred thousand years—only someone close would know it. Since joining the Heavenly Realm, he calls himself Xuan Chongzi.”

“Xuan Chongzi?” Xu Nanqiao murmured, repeating the name to commit it to memory.

Led by Ye Huilan, she entered the Nirvana Tower.

......

Ten days later.

Within the Wuwei Tower, Ye Yu sat cross-legged, gazing out at the mortal-scape beyond the sect gates with a frown. Something felt off.

By now, Xu Nanqiao should have long since left the Demon Realm and arrived in the Heavenly Realm. Why had she not come to find him? Could something have happened on the way? But that seemed unlikely—Xu Nanqiao was an exceptionally clever demoness. Once she gained strength, she never appeared in person, instead using a puppet demon lord to rule in her stead. Even fully concealed, and at the pinnacle of Demon Lord Realm, she should have had no trouble.
