With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

Zhao Yao's pupils dilated completely.

He lost all ability to think in an instant, his vision was overwhelmed by boundless light.

"Breathe in..."

With a clear and slow breath, as if time were flowing backward, the pupils that had been dilated quickly returned to focus.

The field of vision emerged from the boundless light.

Zhao Yao stood there, his chest heaving, his breathing clearly audible, and he blinked nervously.

He turned around and looked around, only to find himself still in this dead-end canyon.

He couldn't help but feel doubtful:

"I think I've been infected..."

pat~

pat~

Yan Rouyun made clear footsteps and calmly walked to a spot not far in front of Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao turned around abruptly, staring intently at her who had suddenly appeared, and quickly checked his own condition.

"The shattered jade armor has disappeared, but the primordial energy figure within the body remains."

With twice the physical strength and the aid of my vital energy, I might be able to find a chance to escape!

He secretly glanced at the exit behind the female constable, assumed a fighting stance, but suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He looked down.

The stone slab beneath his feet seemed to grow upwards, binding and securing his ankles.

"What the hell is that?"

"Ah~"

Without giving Zhao Yao a chance to struggle, Yan Rouyun shouted and rushed forward without any steps, throwing out both fists with wide, sweeping motions, striking his chest heavily.

This strike.

The blow sent Zhao Yao flying backward, crashing straight into the stone wall.

His back slammed heavily against the stone wall, but his body did not fall down.

The hard stone wall softened and turned into a pool of viscous, swamp-like substance.

It extended sticky, living tentacles like vines, firmly grasped Zhao Yao, and pressed him into its body!

"What's going on?"

Confused, Zhao Yao struggled desperately, but was still dragged little by little into the stone wall swamp.

The stone, which had turned into liquid, engulfed him and even began to burrow into the depths of his body through his mouth and nose.

Under severe physiological stimulation, and with the help of the primordial spirit, Zhao Yao's perception began to change.

His physical sensations:

One moment it's the suffocating darkness and near-death experience deep within the rocky swamp.

A moment later, they were back in the canyon, with cold stone slabs beneath them and a motionless female constable on top of them.

He could even faintly smell the female constable's long, drawn-out breaths, as if she were asleep.

The constant alternation between the two scenes completely confirmed Zhao Yao's suspicions:

I realized that I had been pulled into some kind of spiritual world.

"Heave-ho...heave-ho..."

The two experiences alternated, making his breathing become labored and labored.

This situation did not last long.

Zhao Yaogang just came up with a plan...

Kaba~

He died again.

The continued suffocation in his spiritual world caused the little figure of primordial energy within him to collapse.

It turns out that when a person dies in the spiritual realm, they really do die!

"not good……"

Zhao Yao realized the seriousness of the situation within his body.

As soon as the primordial energy figure collapsed, the medicinal power of "Spring Dream Without a Trace," which was originally carried by this primordial energy figure, also dissipated back into the ground.

Just at this time.

In the realm of the mind, the stone wall swamp pushed Zhao Yao out again, bringing him before Yan Rouyun.

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

Looking at Zhao Yao's spiritual body so close to her, Yan Rouyun's eyes were filled with confusion.

A normal person should have died from suffocation long ago, but this guy is strangely unharmed.

I advise you to stay away from me.

It would be best if you left my body now.

Zhao Yao was bound by the stone wall and swamp, unable to move at all.

He looked into the female constable's eyes, sensing his internal condition and trying his best to regulate his vital energy, while giving a sincere warning.

"It's rare to see someone still so defiant at a time like this... This isn't your body."

This is a dream!

A scene woven together by the dreams of the two of us…

Faced with Zhao Yao's inexplicable warning, Yan Rouyun didn't take it seriously, shook her head with a laugh, and gave a simple explanation.

A dream woven together by two people?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao's heart sank, realizing that it was too late.

He recalled the effects of the "Spring Dream Without a Trace" drug on him after it had taken three-tenths of its effect:

A fragrance will spread throughout the body, making one feel numb, sensitive, and lightheaded, with a lingering, exotic aroma.

A downward one!

One dose can enter the brain, draw upon one's vital energy, stimulate desires and dreams, and transform illusion into reality.

Now that the drug is taking effect, their vital energies are intertwined, and since they're in a dream, how can they possibly escape?

In the real canyon, Yan Rouyun, who was lying on Zhao Yao's body and fast asleep, sniffed out a strange fragrance.

In their dream, Yan Rouyun continued what she had just said:

"...I refuse to believe it! Even if you have nine lives, I'll take them all today!"

Ah~

As she spoke, she assumed a fighting stance, let out a delicate shout, twisted her waist, and threw out her fist, preparing to unleash a full set of Dragon Fist techniques on Zhao Yao.

"Eh~"

Zhao Yao, who already knew what was going to happen next, sighed.

He had been thinking about how to escape from the female constable, but he never expected things to turn out this way.

"No matter what happens next, I need to survive her punches for now."

Following the strategy he had just come up with, before the fist landed on him, Zhao Yao used his imagination to manipulate the sticky stone walls around him with his mind, finally breaking free from the object's restraints.

He also used this item to instantly block the fist attack that was coming straight at his face.

"To be able to influence the dream world so quickly, impressive comprehension..."

Before Yan Rouyun realized her predicament, she withdrew her fist, nodded and praised Zhao Yao, and immediately used her mental power to cancel out the effect caused by Zhao Yao.

"...Unfortunately, even without the help of the dream world, you are still no match for me."

"Yeah?"

Zhao Yao looked at the female constable with a complex expression, his mind now completely at peace.

He felt the solid changes beneath his body in the real world, and the fact that he had regained a portion of his scattered primordial energy, which just filled the first flame layer of the jade chess piece and re-condensed into a small primordial energy figure.

He murmured to himself:

"Yuan Qi, he died together." 』

Feeling the primordial energy spirit empower him once again, and having gained another life, Zhao Yao was 100% certain that he would not be killed.

"Watch out!"

Yan Rouyun shouted, took a few quick steps, rushed forward, and unleashed a powerful punch from her waist!

Zhao Yao, however, showed absolutely no intention of challenging her.

He dodged the punch to the side, then turned and ran!

"You can't escape."

Yan Rouyun frowned and set off to chase after him.

"I know."

Zhao Yao, true to his word, still wanted to run away.

In this flat space at the end of the canyon, the two wandered around, fighting back and forth, almost like playing a game.

What are they doing? It's like they're just playing around!

Yan Rouyun fell behind Zhao Yao, her cheeks flushed, her body burning, and she was extremely angry.

"Stop right there!"

She let out a delicate shout.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao actually managed to stand still.

Seeing this, Yan Rouyun was overjoyed. She twisted her waist and hips, moved her feet, and suddenly charged forward.

"Huff... Huff..."

Standing rooted to the spot, Zhao Yao turned around and looked at Yan Rouyun with bloodshot eyes.

He was breathing heavily, clenching his teeth, neither dodging nor avoiding, and opened his arms, ready for the female constable's body to collide with his.

bang~

Yan Rouyun crashed into Zhao Yao's arms, but he held her firmly with his taut muscles and arms.

"Heh~ Heh~"

I finally caught you!

Yan Rouyun's voice was hoarse, and she was breathing abnormally as she locked Zhao Yao with both arms.

Her eyes crinkled into crescents, her pupils dilated, and she was filled with excitement.

The two were of similar height and were close together, both breathing heavily, their warm breaths mingling, making one feel inexplicably hot.

The fact that they could clearly perceive each other's body curves only added fuel to the fire.

"Huff... Huff..."

Amidst their heavy breathing, the woman's fragrance and the man's scent, perceived by each other, were more alluring than ever before.

The two of them trembled slightly...
