"Sister-in-law? *Hiccup*" Yu Rongling was tired, hiccuping as he looked at me.

I saw his tearful and pitiful face and patted his big head, "Hm?"

"Since he is the old man, why... does he ignore me!! He only talks to my brother. Does he not love me anymore?"

"Well... Dragon Dad is such a gentle person. He certainly loves both of you brothers. As for not talking to you..."

"What's the reason? Sister-in-law?"

"It should be... he had something urgent to tell your brother... didn't have time to greet you..."

...

After much effort calming the sobbing Yu Rongling, I let him return to his residence.

I went back to the great hall from earlier, and looked around briefly.

Xiao Shenshen was indeed still sitting on the armrest of the chair, looking adorably dazed.

"Shenshen, do you want to be a boy again?" I hugged the lightweight Xiao Shenshen like a child and carried her towards the Lotus Courtyard.

Seeing her lost look made me feel quite guilty.

If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have become a girl, nor would she have been disliked and distanced by her master.

Xiao Shenshen shivered and snapped back to her senses.

She left a fragrant, soft kiss on my cheek, "Being a girl is good."

"Hm?" I was quite surprised upon hearing that.

Xiao Shenshen smiled sweetly, "Girls can be with Young Madam~"

A ripple of emotion stirred in my heart.

Am I already more important to her than her master?

Letting the little girl be happier as a girl, staying by my side.

At night, without Yu Longting by my side.

I hugged Xiao Shenshen, lying on my side on the soft bed.

I couldn't calm down, a vague worry lingered.

Perhaps it's the hormones of pregnancy being off, causing negative emotions, feeling suspicious and paranoid.

Even though they are father and son, my heart can't settle, always uneasy.

Dragon Dad's strength should be unparalleled, there's almost nothing in the world he can't do.

Using threats to take Yu Longting away, it's unlikely that he wants Yu Longting to help with anything.

Although Yu Longting has recovered significantly under my nurturing, his level is still not comparable to before.

If Dragon Dad couldn't accomplish something, Yu Longting probably has no room to interfere.

Then... why did Dragon Dad take him away... could it be harmful to Yu Longting...

"Don't come over, Second Young Master." Xiao Shenshen was sleeping soundly, perhaps dreaming of Yu Rongling.

Her quiet and cute little face suddenly became worried and wrinkled.

I pinched her little cheek, gently comforting, "With the Young Madam here, no one can bully you."

"Young Madam~ hug." Xiao Shenshen snuggled into my arms, the ginseng's fresh scent truly aids sleep.

It has a calming effect~

I composed myself, supporting Xiao Shenshen's back.

I closed my eyes, and gradually fell asleep myself.

Then, I drifted into a dream full of white mist, but I knew immediately this dream was anything but simple.

It's not a haven constructed by my brain for rest,

More like someone designed and forcibly pulled me into the nightmare.

After Yu Longting and I together solved the Earth Pulse Evil Qi, I felt my body's meridians widen again, my strength increased to a new level.

I easily discerned the unusual nature of the dream, standing motionlessly in the thick white mist, not wandering around, "Who are you? A Nightmare Demon plotting against me?"

"Plotting?" In the white mist appeared a corpulent woman, she stroked her round belly and let out a bitter smile, "Su Wan, I am you. I am sealed deep within your mind, have you truly forgotten? Or are you so love-struck, you choose not to remember."

"You're me?" Through the white mist, I couldn't see her face clearly, but her aura and figure indeed felt a little familiar.

Though I'm not easily convinced, a Nightmare Demon can create any dream, appearing like a harmless forest deer but secretly eating people's sweet dreams.

It's said to be an Ancient Evil Spirit evolved into an Evil Demon.

Once entangled and deceived, you'll become increasingly emaciated and fearful from nightmares, eventually dying from exhaustion.

The woman spoke with the same tone as me, with a trace of resentment between the lines, "I'm the eighteen-year-old you. Do you still remember the last time you saw Ye Jiqing during your youth? You were upset and drank a lot... Yu Longting took advantage of it to bully you..."
