Join the ServerBai Jiujiu wasn’t stupid.
She might be an adorable blockhead, but she was no oblivious fool.
Despite the many doubts and odd, discordant feelings, she had managed to guess the most basic truth.
“That’s right, Master really did figure out quite a bit.”
Xiao Qiugan didn’t seem surprised at all. Whether her master was too sweet and naive to see the truth staring her in the face, or could easily piece it together from the smallest clues—no matter what her master did, it never caught her off guard.
“It was too obvious. They basically spelled it out, saying I’m Bai Jiu’er’s reincarnation, then making me become Bai Jiu’er in her memories. And on top of that, her past self is a total siscon. Put all those elements together, and anyone could guess it.”
Bai Jiujiu pouted and rattled off a long explanation.
In her heart, she cursed Bai Jiu’er a million times.
‘It’s all your fault! Because of you, the snake is now being targeted by your sister!’
‘And you even tricked my kind, cute, good-natured disciple into doing bad things!’
“Master, do you think you’ll end up becoming Bai Jiu’er?”
“How could that be? Your master has always been Bai Jiujiu, a snake demon, the master of Yunlai Mountain, and your teacher.”
“I won’t be anyone else.”
“Master…”
Xiao Qiugan’s black-and-white cat eyes held a faint trace of sadness, which then vanished, replaced by a sly smirk curling at the corners of her mouth.
Taking advantage of her master’s grumbling, she flicked her two cat tails, intending to give her master a proper tickling.
But no matter how much she tickled, there was no reaction.
‘Could it be that our loli master’s body hasn’t developed enough yet, so tickling doesn’t work?’
‘That shouldn’t be—before, whenever I touched those spots, Master would…’
Meow!!!
Bai Jiujiu gently placed her hand on Xiao Qiugan’s cat head.
No longer speaking.
“Xiao Qiugan, although I’m indeed very weak right now, I hope my good disciple can show some self-awareness.”
“Ahaha, got it. If I keep this up, I’ll be just as dumb as Master…”
The cat’s head received another punch.
“You really haven’t changed at all. Right now, I’m still small. What you’re doing is a crime—you’ll be drowned in a pig cage!”
“What’s the big deal? My wanted poster is plastered all over Daoyaozhou anyway.”
“Huh? What did you just mutter?”
“Nothing, meow~”
“By the way, Xiao Qiugan, how did you end up trapped in the Dreamfall? And how can you meet me here? Can this thing connect people?”
Bai Jiujiu was puzzled. Since the Dreamfall was supposed to make each person sink into their own dream memories, there shouldn’t be any way to connect with others.
That didn’t make sense to her.
“I used a secret technique to enter Master’s Dreamfall. But the technique consumes a lot of energy, so I can only meet you in my original form.”
“I see,” Bai Jiujiu nodded. “That explains it.” Then she looked at Xiao Qiugan and continued, “But Xiao Qiugan, you must have more to tell me than just this, right?”
“Mm. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble to come here.”
Bai Jiujiu sat up, her expression turning serious.
Even though she wanted this peaceful life to continue, this was ultimately a beautiful dream. When she woke up, she would still have to face reality.
A little more knowledge couldn’t hurt.
“Hey, just a while ago you didn’t even want to know how to get out of the Dreamfall.”
“Put that fist away. I’ll stop being cheeky.”
“One thing is just a way out, the other is useful information. They can’t be compared, can they?”
Bai Jiujiu retracted her little fist.
“Master, do you believe that changing memories can change the past?”
“How is that possible? Memory is just remembering memories. Since it’s a memory, it’s something that already happened, already become reality. It can’t be changed.”
“It’s like you ate one bowl of noodles. Even if someone’s memory is altered to say you ate two bowls, it doesn’t mean you actually ate two. You ate one bowl, that’s one bowl.”
“Then, Master, what if a group of people all remember you eating two bowls?”
Xiao Qiugan’s rhetorical question made Bai Jiujiu pause.
“If a group of people all said they saw you eat two bowls, would you insist on your own view, or go along with others? Maybe you’d smile calmly, thinking you ate one bowl and others’ opinions don’t matter. Then a few days later, when someone asks how many bowls you ate that day, and everyone around says two, you might subconsciously think you ate two bowls that day.”
“In a sense, the past is also modified by memory.”
“Wait, does Chi Hun intend not to turn me into Bai Jiu’er, but to change the past by altering memories?”
“But that makes no sense. What’s happened has happened. Dead people won’t come back just because others’ memories are changed. This method has too many limitations.”
Bai Jiujiu knew Xiao Qiugan wouldn’t say this without reason. She immediately thought that Chi Hun, who had trapped her in the Dreamfall, might have other goals.
“Right now, Chi Hun’s goal is indeed to make you experience everything of Bai Jiu’er in the Dreamfall, and ultimately erase your memories as Bai Jiujiu, resurrecting her sister in a roundabout way.”
“But two hundred years ago, she also tried to change the past by altering memories, which sparked the Dreamfall incident, and was eventually stopped by Bai Jiu’er.”
“Even though she lost, someone else succeeded.”
“Who?”
“Bai Jiu’er.”
“What?!”
Bai Jiujiu’s eyes went wide. She pinched her cheek in disbelief.
“What did she change?”
“Master, aren’t you Bai Jiu’er right now? Just follow the memory progression, and you’ll find out. Chi Hun will definitely make you unconsciously follow Bai Jiu’er’s memories.”
“Your situation is a bit special. Only when you truly fulfill Bai Jiu’er’s wish will the Dreamfall let you wake from the beautiful dream and return to the real world.”
Xiao Qiugan took the chance to tell Bai Jiujiu how to escape the Dreamfall.
This was the only way for her master to get out of Bai Jiu’er’s memories, out of the Dreamfall.
Besides this method, the only person in the world who had truly broken the Dreamfall was Bai Jiu’er herself.
“Perfect. Right now, I just want to enjoy a peaceful family life. I bet Bai Jiu’er feels the same. We’re on the same page. Awesome.”
Bai Jiujiu lay back on the stone, hands behind her head, unmoved.
“Master, why do you think you and Bai Jiu’er agree on lying flat?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Bai Jiu’er is at least the future Taiching Celestial Venerable, a Tianmai realm expert. If she didn’t also want an ordinary life, her memories in the Dreamfall wouldn’t be of a talentless waste like me.”
No spiritual root meant no cultivation. And without cultivation, how could one become a cultivator?
Bai Jiujiu reasoned with confidence!
“Openly calling yourself a useless waste—truly worthy of being our Master!”
“Meow!”
The cat’s head received another punch.
