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

The little girl looked at the city before her, her pupils slightly constricting: "Talcia, the city of dreams... our first judgment seat."

The Sleeper stepped forward: "You're taking us back?"

The other party nodded: "Return, or annihilation."

“You’re wrong.” The Sleeper’s gaze was as deep as the sea. “We will not go back. We will create new dreams.”

The man in black's expression changed for the first time.

He sighed softly: "Then, judges, tell me your choice."

“We’ve chosen this path.” Su Ting raised his longsword, pointing it at the crack in the sky. “We’re not going in to hide. We’re going to see the truth behind all of this.”

"Are you really willing to pay any price? Including facing the memories you yourself have forgotten?"

Chu Mo stared coldly at the other person, his voice carrying an undeniable resolve: "If that's the truth, then let it tear us apart."

Chapter 1140 Remember Your Choice

The man in black stared at them, and finally, slowly retreated.

His figure vanished into black mist in the wind.

“Then…” his voice came one last time, as if it had transcended layers of time and space, “Remember your choice.”

The next moment, the entire dream world shook violently.

The girl slowly raised her head, her eyes clear yet tinged with sadness.

She watched as the five people before her were all caught in a vortex of memories, and silently recited in her heart:

"Dreams won't deceive you unless you refuse to wake up."

The dream gate opened completely, and the abyss-like entrance swallowed the five figures. Zhong Ling's last mournful cry shattered, turning into specks of starlight that drifted into the void.

Only one sentence remained in the air, drifting away on the wind.

That was an inquiry coming from a distant time and space.

Are you ready, dream judges?

"Who exactly are you?" Chenxi's voice struggled to carry through the howling wind as the Dream Gate opened. He gripped his battle axe tightly, standing at the edge of the rift, his entire body being pulled backward by the vortex-like energy field.

"We just... just escaped from that place!" Chu Mo roared through gritted teeth. "You charlatan, don't even think about dragging me back!"

The man in black vanished completely, but his voice echoed in the shattered void like the primal will of a dream: "It wasn't me who took you back. It was your past... that chose to return."

A layer of silvery-white light shimmered on the ground beneath the little girl's feet, and her eyes became increasingly ethereal, as if she no longer belonged to the present time and space.

She whispered:

"They...are all waiting for us."

As soon as the words were spoken, a familiar figure suddenly appeared behind everyone—it was the man in red robes, the one who had vanished. He held a flaming scepter, his face blurred, but his eyes were resolute.

“Let’s go,” he said slowly. “You’ve already embarked on this path. There’s no turning back.”

Su Ting frowned, gazing at the distant point of light at the edge of the dream realm, his voice as calm as a knife: "Weren't you already dead?"

The man in the red robe smiled: "I have neither died nor been born. I am simply... waiting for your memories to awaken."

Chenxi's eyes widened: "Don't you think it's a bit pretentious to talk about this kind of nonsense? I hate riddle people the most!"

The man in the red robe gently raised his hand, and a black chain silently fell from the air, with an ancient pendulum attached to one end, which was vibrating slightly.

The girl reached out and caught the chain, instantly closing her eyes. Blood vessels bulged on her forehead, and her face showed an expression of extreme pain.

Chu Mo quickly grabbed her shoulders: "What are you doing? Stop! You can't take it!"

"I have begun to integrate with the consciousness of my old self." Her lips trembled as she whispered these words, then she looked up and stared directly at everyone.

Her eyes had completely turned into the color of the starry sky, unfathomable.

"Dreamland is where we once judged everything, and where the Dream Guardians were born. There is a mirror there—it reflects everyone's true memories, sins, and choices."

“And now… we are going to face that mirror again.” After she finished speaking, her whole body began to float.

The slumbering being remained silent for a long time before slowly raising his right hand, revealing a string of ancient inscriptions in his palm: "I remember now. That mirror can read the deepest desires and betrayals of the soul."

Chenxi scratched her head: "So... what we have to do now is look in the mirror again? Doesn't that sound a bit like being forced to admit your mistakes by your parents when you were a kid?"

Chapter 1141 A Greedy Mouth

“It’s not about looking in a mirror,” the man in the red robe said calmly. “It’s about… becoming a part of the mirror.”

The air twisted violently, and the Dream Gate behind the five people unleashed an unprecedented attraction, like a greedy maw.

"Are you ready?" the man in the red robe asked.

Su Ting's hand gripping the sword bulged with veins: "Is there no other way? Then let's keep going!"

"Ha!" Chenxi swung his axe. "Who's afraid of who! But if I see that bastard who betrayed us back then, I'll be the first to chop him into pieces and feed him to the birds!"

"Then you might as well cut yourself off first," the red-robed man said with a slight smile. "Do you remember what you did back then?"

"Huh? Me?" Chenxi was stunned. "What could I possibly do? I'm not some high-IQ villain... I can't even remember what I did last night!"

The little girl's gaze sharpened, and she slowly said, "Memory is the sharpest knife. If you dare to come in... be prepared to endure the pain it brings."

The five of them took a step in unison and entered the dream gate almost at the same time.

The world before my eyes is changing rapidly.

The outline of a vast and magnificent city gradually emerged—Talshia.

Fragments of time, not belonging to this world, filled the air.

The streets were paved with gray-blue crystal, and huge star-shaped chandeliers floated in the sky, each light seemingly imprisoning a sleeping consciousness.

The city was eerily quiet, but the clock tower in the distance was slowly chiming.

Boom————

The deep, resonant chimes made one's eardrums ache slightly.

The moment the bells stopped ringing.

From the shadows at the end of the street ahead, a woman in a white uniform walked slowly. Her features were aloof, and a judge's badge hung on her chest.

"Welcome back." Her voice was cold. "The original Dream Guardians, you've returned."

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes: "And who are you?"

The woman coldly swept her gaze across the five people, then looked at the little girl: "She's awake, which means... the 'Final Judgment' is about to begin."

"Wait." Su Ting stepped forward, sword in hand. "What do you mean by 'Final Judgment'? What is your relationship with that mysterious man in black...?"

“I am the tower keeper,” the woman said, “the last watchman of Tarshia.”

Chenxi rolled her eyes: "It sounds like it's very important, but why do I feel like you're just a security guard at the gate?"

The woman's face was icy: "You think this is a city? Tarsia is a door. On the other side of the door, the memories and causes you once erased are sealed."

The little girl's pupils contracted, and her voice trembled: "You mean...we killed parts of ourselves? To maintain order?"

“No,” the woman said, emphasizing each word, “it’s so that it won’t kill us.”

"Damn it!" Chenxi cursed, "You make it sound like we had a huge fight in our dream and lost horribly! Who the hell can accept that?!"

Chu Mo slowly raised his hand, and the demonic energy within his body surged forth once more.

He stared at the woman and sneered, "If this is what you call the City of Dreams—then I'm going to tear down the city's tower right now."

The woman's gaze remained unchanged: "Then let's give it a try, Judge of Fate."

She turned around, raised her finger slightly, and the lights and shadows of the entire city trembled, as if countless eyes were slowly opening in the darkness.

And atop the tallest tower in the city center, a door that had never been opened before... slowly glowed with a sliver of eerie blue light.

Chapter 1142 His Soul Was Drained

The shadows beneath the clock tower seemed to be activated by some force, and the lampposts on both sides of the street simultaneously lit up with eerie light. In each ray of light, blurry figures emerged, their faces mutilated, their lips slowly opening and closing, but no sound came out.

"Who are they?" Chenxi gripped her battle axe tightly, and with a swift step, she was beside the little girl, protecting her. "These people look...like their souls have been ripped out!"

The man in red robes said in a low voice, "This is not their present, but their past. The fragments they left behind in the dream world—memory remnants."

"Does that mean we have to walk through a ruin filled with memories of 'ourselves'?" Su Tingjian's sword tip turned slightly, a wary glint in his eyes.

“Or,” the woman said coldly as she turned around, “you can choose to stay here and wait for the backlash from the Dream Realm to completely devour you.”

Chu Mo snorted coldly, demonic energy swirling around his fingertips from his sleeve, hissing and coiling like snakes: "What you're saying is too dangerous, I'm actually thinking of having a fight to warm up."

"Don't be impulsive." The man in red robes raised his hand to stop him. "The duty of the tower guards is not to stop us, but to remind us that what we are about to face cannot be avoided."

"Escape? Ha." Chu Mo scoffed, his gaze sweeping towards the faintly glowing crack in the door atop the tower. "I never even considered retreating."

The little girl took a small step, and a circle of silvery-white ripples instantly spread across the ground.

Her voice became unusually clear, yet tinged with a hint of detachment: "Let's go. The trial has begun. Our past... will be laid bare here, and our futures will be redefined."

The bells rang once more from the depths of the city.
