Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2667 Dream Talk
"The Tengshe God?"

Since Ying Baoyue left, the Tengshe God has basically remained in its true form, lying there to intimidate any villains. After several months, Ji Jiashu had gotten used to having this motionless behemoth above his head, and only remembered it after Gui Chen reminded him.

“No wonder Baoyue said she was safe here,” Ji Jiashu suddenly realized, “because of the Tengshe God.”

With the protection of the Tengshe God's true form, one can indeed fall asleep without the need for any other protectors.

"So she wasn't lying to me after all," Ji Jiashu said somewhat awkwardly. "I was just overthinking it."

“Don’t think like that,” Gui Chen shrugged. “We all know she’s stubborn and loves to show off. If we believed everything she said, things would be terrible.”

“You’re right,” Ji Jiashu laughed. “Are you going on night patrol? Or are you going up to check on her?”

Gui Chen hesitated for a moment, "I'd better go on night patrol, Jia Shu, you shouldn't wait..."

"Never mind, I won't say anything more. Take care."

What else?
Gui Chen patted Ji Jiashu on the shoulder and left, glancing at the rooftop lights before departing with a strange expression.

What happened?
Ji Jiashu was completely confused. Gui Chen's actions seemed to be telling him not to get close to the sleeping Ying Baoyue.

What is so scary about Ying Baoyue when she is asleep?

Or is Gui Chen afraid that he will launch a night attack on Ying Baoyue?

Ji Jiashu shook his head, ignoring Gui Chen's warning. He went to his bedchamber to get a blanket and climbed back up to the pavilion of the Imperial Prayer Bureau.

The light at the far end of the attic was indeed turned off, and the seemingly tireless owner finally rested.

Ji Jiashu quietly pushed open the door, and the room was filled with moonlight.

Ying Baoyue leaned against the bookshelf and closed her eyes. Memorials were scattered all around her, and she was indeed not covered with any clothes.

"Really..."

Ji Jiashu walked to the bookshelf, gently covered her with the blanket, and then bent down to pick up the memorials on the floor.

Hearing the sound of the person sleeping beside him, the boy's lips unconsciously curled up.

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his lips.

“Aji”.

Ji Jiashu stiffly turned his head to look at the girl leaning against the bookshelf.

Ying Baoyue lowered her eyebrows and eyelashes, her eyelashes trembling uneasily, and she softly called out that name.

“Aji”.

Her voice was very soft, revealing no emotion, and she called out only a few times, about every ten breaths.

But Ji Jiashu felt as if he were immersed in ice water.

When she was lucid, she never mentioned that name unless asked.

But when she finally fell into her dream, the emotions and longings she had suppressed during the day had nowhere to hide.

Ji Jiashu finally understood why Ying Baoyue didn't let him stay by her side to protect her, and why Guichen advised him not to get close to the sleeping Ying Baoyue.

Gui Chen must have heard it and understand this feeling.

Ji Jiashu stood like a statue beside the sleeping Ying Baoyue for a long time.

"Hey, kid."

Ji Jiashu turned around, and a woman in black sitting on the windowsill greeted him.

"Lord Tengshe, why did you suddenly revert to your clone?"

"Give me back my clone form," Tengshe said, speechless. "Do you have masochistic tendencies? You've heard everything, why aren't you leaving? Why are you just standing here listening?"

"When Guijia heard it for the first time, he almost cried."

Ji Jiashu was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I already knew this, so why should I be sad?"

"Knowing it is one thing, but hearing it still makes me feel bad, doesn't it?"

Tengshe glanced at Ying Baoyue, who was leaning against the bookshelf, and said, "I used my divine power to put her to sleep, and she slept more soundly this time than before."

Therefore, Ying Baoyue was even less able to control her subconscious actions. "Is it that Li Ji is not responding to her calls?"

Ji Jiashu gritted his teeth and asked, "Otherwise, why would she keep calling him?"

He had never seen Ying Baoyue like this before.

“I’m afraid so,” Tengshe frowned. “We gods have our own way of communicating, and that Azure Dragon guy doesn’t respond at all.”

"That guy..."

Ji Jiashu stood beside Ying Baoyue, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

Tengshe scrutinized his appearance, "You and your father really don't look alike at all."

Ji Jiashu paused for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Doesn't it look like it at all?"

“Not really,” Tengshe frowned, his eyes showing disdain, “but it does look somewhat similar.”

She didn't say exactly what the similarities were, and Ji Jiashu didn't ask either.

“That Azure Dragon guy probably trapped himself somewhere and can’t get out,” Tengshe squatted down and brushed the stray hairs off Ying Baoyue’s face. “Kid, now’s your chance.”

The difference between humans and gods is inherently unlikely.

In His opinion, He would not want Ying Baoyue to get involved with that strange old man.

Ji Jiashu stood ramrod straight, his smile utterly bitter. "Senior, are you insulting me?"

Is he the kind of person who would take advantage of a weakness?
Tengshe was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ji Jiashu to say that.

How did Ji Mo manage to give birth to such a righteous yet wicked son?
“Although you are young, you are indeed worthy of the name of a gentleman,” Tengshe said, looking Ji Jiashu up and down. “So what do you plan to do?”

“Baoyue wants to rescue him,” Ji Jiashu sighed, “but she can’t do so because of her status and responsibilities.”

If she weren't the former King of Qin, she would have reached Li Ji's side long ago.

No matter where Li Ji is, no one and no god in this world can stop her.

This can be seen from how frantically she handled government affairs as soon as she returned to Qin.

“So what?” Tengshe shrugged. “She’s the one who wants to be the queen.”

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

“She is the queen, and I am the royal advisor,” Ji Jiashu said. “Isn’t the royal advisor’s job to fulfill the king’s wishes?”

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Tengshe was startled and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the change in Ying Baoyue's aura.

"She's waking up."

Ying Baoyue's will to stay awake was so strong that even when He used divine power to suppress it, He could only make her fall asleep for a short while.

As soon as Tengshe finished speaking, Ying Baoyue opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was wide awake, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Seeing her like this, Ji Jiashu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Embracing the Moon, that is me."

Ying Baoyue's expression relaxed. "Really? I fell asleep."

"Can't you sleep a little longer?" Tengshe sneered. "Do you really want to work yourself to death? There's no fire burning your eyebrows."

“I can’t help it,” Ying Baoyue laughed. “I keep having nightmares. I didn’t say anything in my dreams, did I?”

Tengshe and Ji Jiashu both fell silent.

“Well, it seems we did say something,” Ying Baoyue sighed. “I’m sorry.”

“You have nothing to apologize for,” Ji Jiashu bent down and looked into her eyes. “You want to go find him, don’t you?”

“This matter has already been discussed,” Ying Baoyue said with a wry smile as she stood up. “I know it’s impossible, I…”

Her words were abruptly cut off as a pair of hands pressed down on her shoulders.
"Go ahead, I'll go with you."

Ji Jiashu isn't portrayed as a tragic second male lead who blindly sacrifices himself; read on for an explanation.
