"Thank you."
Yun Yun looked at Xiao Feng's gentle demeanor and felt a pang of guilt as she accepted the pastries he offered. She ate them gracefully, chewing slowly and deliberately.
That girl Yanran is truly blind. How could she not be satisfied with such a wonderful fiancé? She's completely ruined a good hand!
The more understanding and considerate Xiao Feng appeared, the more Yun Yun felt she had wronged him. She began to ponder how she could ease his resentment toward her and Nalan Yanran.
As night fell, Yun Yun, exhausted both physically and emotionally, drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Feng, who had been meditating nearby, suddenly raised an eyebrow and smirked mischievously.
Perhaps because Yun Yun was afraid of Xiao Feng discovering her true identity, she had developed a slight fear of him. As a result, the moment she fell asleep, Xiao Feng sensed the flicker of her dream.
Heh heh heh…
Xiao Feng let out an evil chuckle in his mind and used his dream manipulation powers to forcefully enter Yun Yun's dream.
"You dare deceive me, Yun Yun? Today, you'll pay the price!"
Transformed into a nightmare, Xiao Feng immediately exposed Yun Yun's true identity, pinned her down on a stone bed, and began to mercilessly "punish" her.
"You looked down on me! You looked down on me! You looked down on me…"
Yun Yun, subjected to this relentless assault, tearfully begged for mercy while stammering out explanations.
Meanwhile, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python coiled around Xiao Feng's wrist overheard Yun Yun's sleep-talk: "I was wrong, I'll never do it again," and "It's too much, I can't take it anymore." Curious, the python slithered out from Xiao Feng's sleeve.
*Damn! This woman is too much. Even after being so badly hurt, she still has the energy to have such dreams?*
As the python curiously observed Yun Yun writhing on the stone bed, Queen Medusa couldn't help but sigh in her mind.

The next morning, Yun Yun suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the stone bed, looking around warily.
(ω)
When she saw Xiao Feng sitting cross-legged near the cave entrance with his back to her, her beautiful face flushed red.
Normally, people rarely remember the details of their dreams after waking up. However, under the influence of Xiao Feng's dream manipulation, Yun Yun could vividly recall every detail of last night's dream—even the slight roughness of Xiao Feng's hands.
As she recalled those embarrassing scenes, Yun Yun unconsciously rubbed her long legs, feeling an inexplicable emptiness.
If only he could really forgive me like he did in last night's dream… Oh my, what am I thinking? How embarrassing…
Although Yun Yun had been thoroughly "punished" by Xiao Feng in the dream, after their "deep communication," he had forgiven her for her past mistakes.
Overhearing Yun Yun's thoughts, Xiao Feng struggled to suppress a smirk and calmly turned to her. "You're awake~ Go wash up first, then have some breakfast."
With that, Xiao Feng used his Stone-Stone Fruit ability to create stone basins, tables, and stools, then brought out food and water.
After a quick wash, Yun Yun sat down and enjoyed a delicious breakfast under Xiao Feng's warm hospitality.
Suddenly, Xiao Feng sniffed the air and pretended to be puzzled. "Yun Zhi, do you smell something strange? It's kind of fishy."
"Cough, cough…"
Yun Yun, who was eating, instantly turned red and nearly choked on her food.
"Are you okay? Take your time. No one's rushing you."
Xiao Feng quickly patted Yun Yun's back to help her catch her breath.
"Gulp!"
Yun Yun, her eyes watering from choking, grabbed a glass of milk and drank it all in one go, finally swallowing the food.
Once she recovered, Yun Yun waved her hand hurriedly.
"I'm fine. I didn't smell anything. You must be mistaken."
Of course, Yun Yun couldn't tell Xiao Feng that the smell was coming from her own… *ahem*.
Seeing Yun Yun's guilty expression, Xiao Feng's eyes flashed with amusement, but he decided not to tease her further—for now. He planned to continue playing with her tonight.
Soon, night fell again. As Yun Yun drifted off to sleep, Xiao Feng once again used his dream manipulation powers to enter her dream.
This time, the dream wasn't set in the Demon Beast Mountain Range but at the Yunlan Sect.
And this time, the target of Xiao Feng's "punishment" wasn't just Yun Yun—it was also her beloved disciple, Nalan Yanran!
Watching Nalan Yanran's eyes roll back and her body tremble, Yun Yun felt both heartache and an indescribable thrill.
What a shameless woman, having such dreams again!
Seeing Yun Yun twisting and turning on the stone bed, Queen Medusa couldn't help but feel exasperated.

Two days later
Just as Yun Yun woke up from another "pleasant" dream, she saw Xiao Feng standing expressionlessly by the stone bed, his cold eyes fixed on her.
Yun Yun's heart sank. She braced herself and asked, "Ah-Feng, is something wrong?"
"Hmph! Ah-Feng? What right do you have to call me that?"
Xiao Feng deliberately put on an act of having been betrayed, his voice filled with bitterness and anger.
"How long did you plan to keep deceiving me, Sect Master Yun?!"
"..."
Yun Yun's face turned pale.
"If you hadn't accidentally let it slip in your sleep last night, I would still be in the dark!"
Xiao Feng clenched his fists, his teeth gritted.
"Do you think I'm easy to fool? Or do you secretly laugh at my stupidity for saving my own enemy?"
"No, it's not like that! Please let me explain…"
Yun Yun instinctively grabbed Xiao Feng's wrist, desperate to explain that she hadn't meant to deceive him.
"Let go! Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"I won't let go!"
Seeing Xiao Feng try to shake her off, Yun Yun, in a panic, threw herself into his arms and clung to him like a koala.
She knew that if she didn't clear things up today, there would be no chance of reconciliation between Xiao Feng and the Yunlan Sect.
"Ah-Feng, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!"
Yun Yun, holding onto Xiao Feng tightly, apologized sincerely.
"I never thought that sending Yanran to break off the engagement with the Xiao family would hurt you so much. If you're willing to forgive me, I'll do anything for you."
