What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 290

[In Ye Yu's view, the hundred-year pact Bai Miao Leng had set up seemed more like a chance she was giving.]

[After a hundred years, if Ye Yu could defeat her, she would abandon her mission and obediently become a canary.]

[But if he couldn’t win, he would have to stay by her side willingly.]

[It was a fair wager, at least giving him time to grow stronger.]

If he were honest with himself...

Even without waiting a hundred years, as Situ Shuping had pointed out, even if Bai Miao Leng possessed a demonic treasure, thirty years would be enough for him to have confidence in defeating her.

[But given the current circumstances, it seemed that option was out of reach!]

[So, Ye Yu didn’t mention the hundred-year pact now.]

[Instead, he lifted the cup of spirit tea before him and drank it in one gulp.]

Just then, Bai Miao Leng leaned on Ye Yu’s shoulder, her hand resting on his chest.

[She seemed to like doing this, though Ye Yu was never worried she’d try to kill him that way.]

“Husband, I’ve missed you exactly 7,610 times,” she said.

“Every day since you left, once a day, every day. I could only gaze at your portrait, yearning.”

“I truly love you, love you so deeply, and I want to be with you forever!”

“But unfortunately, I still have a mission to fulfill.”

[Ye Yu could sense a certain fatigue in Bai Miao Leng, one he couldn’t quite describe.]

A mission?

For mortals, such a mission seemed hardly merciful.

Ye Yu’s emotions were complicated as he responded in a low voice, “If you’d be willing to give up your mission, I would stay by your side forever. Can you do that?”

Bai Miao Leng replied softly, “Let’s not speak for now. Let me enjoy this moment of warmth a little longer.”

[This simple statement immediately gave Ye Yu her answer.]

[But he didn’t leave in frustration; he simply held his peace.]

[The two sat together in silence for a while.]

Eventually, Bai Miao Leng stood up and formed a hand seal.

[In the next moment, they both moved through space, returning to the Locking River of Spirits, just as they had twenty years ago.]

Ye Yu’s eyes widened in surprise.

No way—is she going to try and kill me again?

That’s going a bit too far!

[Just as he was about to act, he saw Bai Miao Leng remove the outermost layer of her robe and drape it over him.]

She then murmured a chant.

[The robe began to shift in length, and soon, the black garment seemed tailored perfectly to fit Ye Yu, transforming from a feminine style to a masculine one.]

[Ye Yu felt no restriction from it; instead, his heart was warm.]

What does this mean?

Does this count as him obtaining a demonic treasure?

Bai Miao Leng raised her hand to gently stroke his face, her gaze tender. “These twenty years have made me realize something,” she said. “You are more important to me than I ever imagined.”

“When I’m not by your side, remember to think of me!”

These words made Ye Yu feel a pang of unease.

[He was just about to ask when suddenly Situ Shuping’s figure appeared in the sky, laughing maniacally.]

Seeing him arrive, Bai Miao Leng appeared unfazed, showing no surprise.

It was true—in Chaos Valley, even after Situ Shuping knelt before him, Ye Yu had refused his request.

To steal his own wife’s robe so someone else could kill her?

The mere thought was revolting.

Whether it succeeded or not, it would still be his choice.

It didn’t make sense at all!
