What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 401 - What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real (Patreon) - Chapter 401 - Chapter 401 – Zhuo Lanqing, Full of Zeal

Ye Yu didn’t know why, he always felt that Zheng Nuannxiu had a particular fondness for recruiting new members to their immortal sect.

It was like that last time, and it was the same this time.

He even felt that whenever she talked about it, there was this inexplicable excitement in her voice.

Could it be that Zheng Nuannxiu was the chosen HR of the immortal sect? Someone who simply enjoyed the thrill of recruiting?

Ye Yu asked in a tangled tone, “Is your sect really that short on people?”

“Uh, why would you say that?”

Zheng Nuannxiu also realized she might have been a bit too forward.

So she hurried to explain, “Actually, our sect has extremely strict requirements when it comes to recruiting. Only those with truly exceptional strength are allowed to join.”

“And you, fellow Immortal—you casually killed a Mystic Immortal.”

“That perfectly meets the recruitment standards of our sect, which is why I made a special invitation.”

“So? How about it? Consider joining our Evil Exorcist Immortal Sect!”

Ye Yu forced a polite smile.

If it weren’t for his previous experience in the dream… He might’ve actually believed her.

“Exceptionally strong,” you say?

Back in that dream, he had been a newly ascended immortal—a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, sure—but with the lowest cultivation level.

And Zheng Nuannxiu had still tried to recruit him.

Now she wants to throw around words like “strict”?

Come on—who wouldn’t laugh at that?

Without thinking too much about it, Ye Yu ultimately declined Zheng Nuannxiu’s offer.

“I don’t plan to join any sect for now. Let’s talk about it again in the future.”

To be honest, if Ye Yu hadn’t met Shangguan Jiujin, he might’ve actually considered joining Zheng Nuannxiu’s Exorcist Immortal Sect.

But since he had Shangguan Jiujin…

Naturally, he leaned toward the Wuwei Tower.

It wasn’t because he felt any sense of belonging.

He just wanted to quietly stay by the Immortal Emperor’s side, watching as she climbed to the very peak, step by step.

Eventually standing unrivaled in the heavens. That was all.

It’s just a small goal.

Ye Yu thought that with things said so plainly, Zheng Nuannxiu would probably give up.

But to his surprise, he had underestimated this fairy’s persistence.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to join now. But if you ever decide to join a sect someday, you have to find me, okay?”

“Oh right, you’re new to the Heavenly Realm. You probably don’t have a communication stone yet. Here, I’ll give you one—it’ll make it easier to keep in touch!”

As she spoke, Zheng Nuannxiu pulled a communication stone out of her storage ring and stuffed it into Ye Yu’s hand.

Which left him rather speechless.

This level of dedication… really, no one could match it.

Huh?

So this is a communication stone from the heavenly realm?

It’s even foldable?

Stylish!

Truly keeping up with the times.

After that, Zheng Nuannxiu didn’t linger too long. Once she taught Ye Yu how to use the stone, she left.

But not before repeatedly reminding him—when he was ready to join an immortal sect, he’d better not forget to consider hers.

Ye Yu was thoroughly speechless.

A few hours later—

Ye Yu used the memories from his dream to find the location of Wuwei Tower.

Mm, as expected of something manifested by the system. It was exactly the same as in the dream.

Hopefully, Shangguan Jiujin would be in tune with him and would know to wait for him here.

That would save a lot of trouble.

But reality proved otherwise.

Shangguan Jiujin wasn’t here.

The inside of Wuwei Tower was quite empty—not a single figure in sight.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

What’s the meaning of this?

Could it be that, after waking from the dream, Shangguan Jiujin never came here?

Just as Ye Yu was deep in thought—

A not-so-unfamiliar voice sounded from behind him.

“Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Wuwei Tower?”

Ye Yu turned to see Zhuo Lanqing hurrying in from outside, face serious.

She looked just like a ruler defending her territory.

At least her expression was right on point.

From the unfamiliar tone and gaze, it was clear that Zhuo Lanqing had no memory of the dream.

So he didn’t bother explaining much.

He simply said calmly, “I entered this place by mistake. By the way, Fellow Immortal—do you know Shangguan Jiujin? Do you happen to know where she is?”

“Mistakenly entered?”

Zhuo Lanqing turned to glance behind her.

The sect’s protective grand formation was incredibly powerful—any intruder below the Earth Immortal realm would die instantly.

But now, the formation had operated as usual, and yet there was no sign of damage.

It was obvious that Ye Yu had known the formation’s incantation and had entered easily.

Using the phrase ‘entered by mistake’—even a three-year-old wouldn’t buy that.

Wait, did he just say he knew Shangguan Jiujin?

And he could enter Wuwei Tower effortlessly?

Zhuo Lanqing’s eyes lit up instantly.

She hurried forward and asked, “Are you Ye Yu?”

“You know me?”

Ye Yu looked genuinely puzzled.

Zhuo Lanqing saw that he didn’t deny it and immediately beamed. “I don’t know you personally, but I’ve heard Shangguan Jiujin mention you.”

“Come, come, let me pour you a cup of celestial tea—we can talk slowly.”

Ye Yu was completely baffled.

He looked at Zhuo Lanqing with curiosity.

Back in the dream, this girl had never been this friendly to him. Why was her attitude so different now that they were in the real world?

In truth— there was a reason Zhuo Lanqing was being so warm to Ye Yu.

According to what Shangguan Jiujin had told her, Wuwei Tower had been founded by the three of them: Zhuo Lanqing, Ye Yu, and herself.

But in reality, Zhuo Lanqing hadn’t participated in its construction at all.

And with Shangguan Jiujin only at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, she couldn’t have created such a powerful protective formation on her own.

The only explanation—

Was that this immortal sect had been single-handedly created by Ye Yu.

In the end, he was actually the true master of this place.

Whether the story was true or not, this was what Zhuo Lanqing believed.

And at the moment, she was very pleased with Wuwei Tower. Naturally, she wanted to maintain a good relationship with its supposed founder.

That was why she was being so enthusiastic.

Inside the main hall of Wuwei Tower.

Zhuo Lanqing told Ye Yu everything that had happened during this time, in meticulous detail.

As it turned out, not only had Shangguan Jiujin come here, even the Battle Sky Black Ape, A’Kong, had arrived.

They had waited inside the Wuwei Tower for quite some time, but Ye Yu never returned. Eventually, they both agreed that they couldn’t just sit around and wait for death.

So they left together to search for him.

After hearing all of this— Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

So… he had missed them?

Damn it—if the Soul Search Ring hadn’t been damaged, this wouldn’t have happened at all!

But then again, stewing over it now was completely pointless. The only thing to do was to look ahead and figure out the next step forward.

Seeing Ye Yu fall silent, Zhuo Lanqing gently pushed the cup of celestial tea toward him again.

“Fellow Immortal Ye, I heard from Shangguan Jiujin that this immortal sect was founded by the three of us together.”

“She even asked me to be the sect master of Wuwei Tower.”

“Tell me, do you think that’s appropriate?”

There’s a saying: listen not just to the words, but to the tone.

This was one of those moments—she was asking a question, but the desire for affirmation was written all over her face.

Seeing this, Ye Yu replied softly, “It’s very appropriate. The idea of Wuwei Tower was yours, so of course you should be its sect master.”

Hearing this—Zhuo Lanqing’s face lit up with joy, almost blooming into a full smile.

She quickly said, “Then I shall humbly accept the role.”

“But there’s something I’m quite curious about—why did Shangguan Jiujin say this sect was created by the three of us? Why don’t I have any memory of that?”

“And also, this should be the first time we’ve met, right? Why do I feel like…you’re not a stranger at all?”
