“Why do the dreams you have tonight sound so similar to the ones you had before? It feels like scattered parts of a television drama…” Stanley Batton said earnestly.
It sounded like these stories could be pieced together.
However, other minor parts of the stories seemed to be missing somewhere in between.
Xyla Quest nodded repeatedly. There was an eager look in her eyes. “I didn’t expect you to think the same way… I also feel that these stories could be connected. With a few added snippets, it would be a complete drama plot…
“In the beginning, I probably rescued a nine-tailed fox in my dream. This nine-tailed fox turned out to be a demon. After that, it perhaps fell in love with me because I saved its life…
“To be with me, he kidnapped my husband. Moreover, he demanded I marry him. Otherwise, my husband would die…
“I didn’t have a choice but to agree to what he asked. After that, there was the scene on the night of our wedding. I might have put some poison in the wine.
“That, in turn, caused the fox demon to reveal his nine tails. Once it lost its energy, I used the sword I prepared in advance to chop his tails off…
“In the end, the fox demon disappeared… But this is just my guess…” Xyla explained.
Xyla carefully recalled the dreams she had previously while using her creativity to connect all the dots.
Although it sounded ridiculous, the connections made in the story were somewhat logical.
“It’s possible…” Stanley had a serious and contemplative look in his eyes.
“My husband in the dream looks like you too… His name is Connor Murphy… But I don’t know what that nine-tailed fox is called…
“Honey, I think this story feels much too real. It doesn’t seem like a dream at all… Who would have dreams like this?
“Do you think this could be part of our past? Didn’t Yaksha mention this before? We are indebted to a particular person.
“Could this person be that demonic fox? But I don’t feel that we owe him anything from my dream…
“He was the one who did us wrong and hurt us… He abused his powers to get what he wanted, and he’d stop at nothing to achieve his objectives,” Xyla said.
She continued to analyze the situation thoughtfully as she theoreticized.
