"Hmm?" Hearing the arrogant laughter, Nahida's brow furrowed instantly as she turned toward the sound.
There stood Phandrea, who should have been annihilated by her Superposition Magic, perfectly unharmed, floating in the void. Scarlet mist enveloped the sky and wrapped around her entire body, leaving only her head exposed as she cackled wildly. To the untrained eye, she might have appeared to be a madwoman who had escaped from a mental asylum.
"Strange... even if she somehow evad...

"Is this where Phandrea's Dream resides?"
Following Nahida's lead, the group quickly arrived at their destination.
March 7th looked around at the quiet, empty space, devoid of any signs of human presence. "As I mentioned earlier, Phandrea's physical strength pales in comparison to her soul's power," she said, her voice tinged with confusion.
"Therefore, she spends most of her time in her soul form, residing within the dream realm she created. As the dream expands, she moves ...

"Ugh... Good... good morning," the blue-haired young girl mumbled, rubbing her eyes as she greeted March 7th.
"Y-you... you... you're Little Swarm?!" March 7th exclaimed, her mouth forming a wide "O" shape as if she could swallow an entire egg.
"Uhm?" Little Swarm tilted her head, confused by March 7th's shocked reaction.
However, she didn't press the matter further or dwell on it.
Because she could sense another presence in the room—a presence she had longed for day...

The next morning, Qin Yu woke up surprisingly early.
Though it wasn't truly early—the streets outside were already bustling with activity. The rain had apparently stopped long ago, leaving a refreshing, post-rain air lingering everywhere.
"Mmm... yawn..." Qin Yu sat up, rubbing her eyes.
She'd slept quite comfortably.
Her mind, still hazy from just waking up, noticed that she wasn't in her bedroom at the Jade Chamber, realizing it was still her day off.

After chatting casually with Shenhe for a while, Qin Yu couldn't help but yawn, covering her mouth.
No, I'm so sleepy.
"Are you going to sleep now?" Shenhe asked.
It was indeed about time to sleep.
But actually sleeping with Shenhe... Even though she had agreed, Qin Yu still felt restless. Can I even fall asleep properly like this? Do I need to use the Anesthetic Pistol?
But if she did, how would she explain the bizarre behavior of poin...

Just as Qin Yu's thoughts were drifting into drowsiness, Shenhe emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered.
"I'm done," she said.
Qin Yu immediately snapped awake, her reflexes kicking in. "I-I wasn't sleeping!"
"Is that so? It wouldn't matter if you were," Shenhe replied.
No way.
Though she had already fallen asleep in front of Shenhe several times... Several times? Was it really that many?
Qin Yu couldn't quite recall, but the fact that...

Completely honest? Didn't you already do that this morning? And you did it all by yourself... Does Shenhe suspect something? Does she want me to explain the truth clearly?
Qin Yu's chest tightened, but she feigned composure and asked, "Shenhe, what exactly do you mean?"
"Being completely honest... there seem to be different ways."
Different ways? Qin Yu grew even more confused.

Great, problem solved! Qin Yu desperately wanted to say those words. For a fleeting moment, when Shenhe agreed, she did feel a flicker of relief. But alas, this was far from the end of their troubles.
The real challenges lay ahead.
First, there was the matter of where Shenhe would sleep.
Qin Yu's rented apartment had only one bedroom, and naturally, only one bed. Since Shenhe was staying overnight, she had to carefully consider her sleeping arrangements.

Every move was utterly unexpected.
First, handcuffing themselves together, and now, proposing a deal?
No, that tone... it sounded more like a demand.
"What if I refuse?"
"Then you'll miss out on the treasure you covet most."
