Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

The girl suddenly clutched her chest and cried out in surprise. A cold power spread from her chest, forming a faint silver halo around her.

“I felt a kind of calling… like a piece of my memory being torn open,” she murmured. “Someone… is awakening our true power outside of our dreams.”

"Then let's stop with the nonsense!" Chenxi swung her battle axe, leaping towards the nearest bell shadow and crashing down with a devastating force. "If you want to play with us, you'll have to pay the price!"

Chu Mo formed hand seals, and the demonic energy within his body surged, causing his aura to suddenly rise, as if even the pressure emanating from Zhong Ling was suppressed.

Chapter 1137 Because the truth is too painful

"Let's go. We're not tools." Chu Mo sneered. "Since fate has brought us together again, let's rewrite it ourselves!"

A golden-red flame exploded in the air, accompanied by a roar and countless light and shadows appearing. These were lost fragments of the past, faces and words that had never been heard, appearing one by one in the gaps of the dream.

“I remember that ceremony…” the little girl said, trembling, tears streaming down her face. “It was the four of us… who traded our souls for this right of judgment. But our memories were sealed away, and we became like this now.”

The sleeper stood silently in place, then suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Then... why should we forget?"

The voice of the man in the red robe echoed softly: "Because the truth is too painful. You sacrificed yourselves to maintain the balance of the dream world, only to be betrayed by those high-ranking officials who claimed to uphold order... That's why I exist. I am the last piece of the puzzle of memory, the part that you refuse to acknowledge."

"So you orchestrated a new chaos as revenge?" Su Ting said coldly, "To make everything repeat itself? To make everyone die again?"

The man in the red robe finally revealed a sorrowful smile: "I just wanted to show them... that you are the true righteous ones."

Zhong Ling suddenly stopped roaring, and the intertwined silhouettes of five figures were reflected in her eyes. For a moment, it seemed as if the entire sky had frozen.

"No!" the little girl suddenly broke the silence, exclaiming in surprise, "He left a trap! His real target is..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the Dream Flame Divine Bird suddenly swooped down from afar, its wings flapping to unleash towering flames as it headed straight for their location!

"That's not a divine bird...that's a projection of an ancient god!!" Dawn shouted, retreating rapidly. The battle axe in her hand instantly grew to several meters long, blocking the first wave of impact.

"Don't let it get near the girl!!" Chu Mo roared. "It's coming for her!"

Just as everyone formed a defensive formation, the man in the red robe suddenly chuckled softly.

“Make your choice,” he said. “Remember, whatever you decide to do is entirely voluntary.”

His body began to disintegrate, like dust scattered by the wind.

"Don't trust him!" the Sleeper cried out. "He's no longer the same Echo! He's a medium for some higher will!"

"So here's the question," Chenxi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Do we shatter this bell spirit and return to reality... or open the dream gate and enter the legendary 'Corridor of Old Dreams'?"

Su Ting gazed at the burning clock tower, his eyes gradually clearing: "No matter which one I choose, I will never allow anyone's memories to be taken away again."

The little girl whispered, "If we open the door to dreams... will we know all the answers? About why we are the way we are? About our true identities?"

Chu Mo clenched his fist: "If you want to know the truth... you have to risk your life."

"Let's gamble then." Su Ting looked up at the Dream Flame Divine Bird in mid-air and slowly raised his hand. "We've lost for far too long in this life."

He turned to look at everyone: "Are you ready to face the end of your dream?"

"What do you think?" Chenxi grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "I'm waiting to take down all those things hiding behind the scenes, one by one."

The Dream Flame Divine Bird flapped its wings and came, creating an energy vortex powerful enough to tear space apart.

Chapter 1138 A mournful cry was heard

At that very moment, the girl slowly raised her hand, and in the center of her palm, a familiar symbol appeared with a faint light.

"Welcome home, Judge of Fate."

Her voice was soft but firm.

Zhong Ling let out a final mournful cry, as if the entire dream world's sky trembled at that moment.

The dream rift slowly opened in the sky, like a giant eye opening, deep and distant.

A whisper-like call came from afar:

Are you ready? The road to old dreams has been opened.

The Dream Flame Divine Bird broke through the last layer of the dream shell, rushing straight towards the enemy with blazing light and distorted time energy. Zhong Ling let out a mournful roar, its shadow torn apart by the divine bird's wings, turning into countless afterimages that slowly dissipated in mid-air.

"Hold the formation!" Chu Mo shouted, his demonic energy surging like flames across his body. "Don't let it get close to the core!"

The little girl stood in the center, the ancient divine runes on her palm flashing incessantly, as if echoing something from afar. Her eyes were ethereal and profound, as if she had seen through the essence of the dream.

Su Ting gripped the sword with both hands, the blade trembling slightly: "I can feel it... it's not a simple attack. It's trying to awaken something... or rather... to open something up."

The man in red robes had vanished, leaving only an echoing voice in the space: "The true trial is about to begin. You are the witnesses, and also the ones to be executed."

"Execute?" Chenxi swung his axe horizontally, shattering an incoming phantom, and roared, "Who will judge us? We haven't done anything wrong!"

The slumbering one stepped forward, a golden light flashing in its eyes, its voice deep yet powerful: "We made no mistakes, but we once chose a certain sacrifice. Now... that debt must be repaid."

The Dream Flame Bird suddenly stopped high in the sky, and ripples spread among its feathers, as if the surface of water had been shattered, revealing the dark cracks hidden beneath.

The little girl's voice drifted out softly: "In there... are our lost memories."

"Then go and get it back." Chu Mo turned to look at her, his eyes filled with determination. "But you're not alone."

“That’s right.” Chenxi grinned. “We’re not the kind of people who can be easily manipulated.”

The divine bird swooped down again, this time spreading its wings and drawing two fiery trails in the air as it rushed straight at the group.

"Go!" Su Ting pointed his sword to the sky and took the lead in meeting the attack.

Blade light, battle axe, demonic flames, soul fire... four different types of energy exploded in mid-air, colliding with the Dream Flame Divine Bird to create a huge ring of fire.

The girl closed her eyes, her fingertips gently tracing across her chest, and a complex talisman appeared before her.

She murmured, "Return to my soul, remember my true name."

In an instant, the entire sky was covered in silvery-white light.

From the depths of the dream realm came an ancient bell tolling, long and drawn out like a sigh.

The little girl opened her eyes, and her pupils reflected an endless sea of ​​stars.

Her voice was cold and detached: "They lied to everyone."

"What did you say?" Su Ting swung his sword to force back a phantom, his eyes sweeping over.

“The so-called Old Gods are not enemies,” she whispered. “They are part of us.”

"What the hell?!" Chenxi kicked away the illusion blocking her way, panting as she shouted, "Can you stop talking like that and just get to the point?!"

“We are not judging the guilty,” she slowly raised her head, her eyes chillingly calm, “but rather the order of the entire system itself.”

Chapter 1139 The Trial Has Begun

Chu Mo sneered, "I knew it long ago. So-called order is nothing more than an excuse to control others."

Zhong Ling roared angrily, and his form solidified again, transforming into the image of a giant bronze bell.

The voice that came from its mouth was that of a young girl, a fragment of memory from someone who had sacrificed themselves in this ceremony.

The traitor hereby repents.

The trial has begun, and fate is in the making.

Su Ting gritted his teeth and said, "It's no longer just a manifestation of the laws of dreams... it's some kind of intervention device of higher consciousness."

The little girl slowly reached out her hand and touched a ray of light emerging from the crack. She shuddered, as if undergoing some kind of intense spiritual baptism.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but her voice remained crystal clear: "We were originally the 'First Generation Dream Guardians'."

"Dream Guardians?!" Chu Mo frowned. "You mean the four of us...were originally meant to protect the dream realm?"

“It wasn’t just the four of us,” she shook her head. “There were others. But now, they’ve all disappeared.”

Chenxi's eyes widened: "Isn't this... the reason for the betrayal? They wiped us all out?!"

“They fear our awakening,” she whispered, “because we possess not only the power of judgment… but also the right to reshape dreams.”

“Then let’s test just how powerful this power really is.” Chu Mo raised his hand, and the surrounding demonic flames instantly boiled, turning the entire space into a hellish inferno. “Let’s see if this system can withstand this punch.”

He shot off like an arrow released from a bow!

At the same time, the bell suddenly rang loudly, and space was distorted to the extreme.

The timeline begins to go haywire, with everyone's past, present, and future appearing in an intertwined manner, the images flashing on and off like a glass light bulb about to shatter.

"Hold on! Everyone grab the person next to you!" the little girl shouted.

Before she could finish speaking, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The man was dressed in black, wore a silver mask, carried a broken chain, and had an icy gaze.

“You should not break the seal. Dreams are not a place for you to defile.”

"Oh?" Chenxi swung his battle axe. "Are you the new troublemaker, or just an old thief in a new suit?"

The other person was silent for a moment, then raised their right hand.

Behind him, an ancient city slowly emerged, its walls mottled, its streets and alleys empty, and every stone brick seemed to be engraved with names.

It was a power that did not belong to this era—the power of relics from a deeper dream realm.

"Welcome back to Dreamland." The man's tone was devoid of emotion. "This is where you should have been."
