A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

Bai Feng nodded in agreement.

"And this is my fault??"

Ye Chen felt that this world was utterly absurd. "But I divorced you because you wanted to annul the engagement! This was your fault!"

"First, I've repeated myself many times: I intended to annul the engagement but failed, and your letter of divorce led to the final outcome. Second, it's like when my junior brother was lazy and didn't cultivate, and I reported him to my master, resulting in him getting a beating... This was also caused by me, but is it my fault? It should be his fault for not cultivating properly! So, by the same logic, just because I caused this doesn't mean it's my fault, right? Don't try to twist the facts!"

Zhou Ke'er, who was herself using a fallacy of equivocation, began to accuse Ye Chen of using a fallacy of equivocation, a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

"So...so, this whole thing was caused by me, and has nothing to do with you? I shouldn't hate you? We actually...don't have any enmity?"

Ye Chen was actually caught off guard by this illogical and absurd argument. He let his hands fall limply to his sides, his eyes vacant, looking utterly bewildered. "What...what am I doing?!"

"Sigh, don't be too sad. It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold!"

Zhou Ke'er, with an air of mature wisdom and compassion, nodded to Ye Chen and offered her advice in a feignedly sympathetic manner.

Bai Feng looked at the distraught Ye Chen with a strange gaze, his eyes conveying the implication that "he can believe such things? Has this guy developed some kind of brain problem from cultivating?"

But suddenly, a thought flashed through Bai Feng's mind, and he seemed to understand what was going on. He immediately used telepathy to say to Zhou Ke'er, "I know what's going on... This guy probably still likes you, right? Think about it, if the person who came was someone whose entire family you slaughtered, someone you really hated, then this whole thing wouldn't work... because all he would feel for you would be hatred. But this is different... He's actually willing to believe such outrageous things you said. What does that mean? It means that subconsciously he's also making excuses for you! It means that he still likes you!"

"Hey, why are you looking so surprised? I'm so beautiful, isn't this just a given?"

Zhou Ke'er didn't know how to use telepathy, so she simply pouted and pouted, gently grumbling, "No matter what I do, I can be forgiven because I'm just too beautiful. Isn't that common sense? Common sense!"

Bai Feng chuckled upon hearing this, surprised that Zhou Ke'er could actually say something so narcissistic. However, he still whispered in agreement—because he didn't know why Zhou Ke'er didn't use telepathy, so he simply didn't bother—"Yes, whatever you say is right, because you are too beautiful."

"That's more like it!"

Zhou Ke'er nodded with a smile and patted Bai Feng's head with great satisfaction.

"No! This is completely wrong!"

Just then, Ye Chen, who was caught in a dilemma, suddenly spoke up, looking at Zhou Ke'er with a serious expression that said, "I have seen through your schemes!"

Zhou Ke'er and Bai Feng exchanged a glance. Sure enough, anyone with a normal IQ could at least figure out what was going on. Once they realized that Zhou Ke'er was actually using a fallacy to change the subject, it was easy for them to sort out the facts.

In this way... it seems a fierce battle is indeed unavoidable...

“I remember now. Even if I wrote a letter of divorce, we weren’t officially a couple at the time, so of course I couldn’t ‘divorce’ you. That letter of divorce was too far removed from the previous stage and had no practical use! Besides, even if we acknowledged the validity of that letter of divorce, you didn’t sign it, so it’s not valid at all!”

Ye Chen looked at Lan Yanran with a righteous and stern expression, and said very seriously, "So the current situation is that you initially asked me to annul the engagement, but it didn't work out. Instead, I wrote a letter of divorce, which made you angry and left, but in fact you didn't sign the letter of divorce... Therefore, neither of our actions to dissolve the engagement is valid! So we are still in a state of marriage! I am your prospective Daoist partner!"

"???"

"Holy crap?" Zhou Ke'er stared wide-eyed in utter bewilderment. This Ye Chen was truly a genius; how could he say something like that? You couldn't say something like that without being a ten-year-old sycophant.

Even Bai Feng was stunned. Although he realized that Ye Chen actually liked Lan Yanran, he didn't expect him to like her to such a despicable degree... It was truly admirable and convincing that Ye Chen could say things that others couldn't say so easily.

"So, since I'm your prospective Daoist partner, isn't it reasonable for me to be so angry when I saw you hugging and cuddling with another man and demand that you two separate immediately?! However, considering that you didn't realize this beforehand and thought I had divorced you, I forgive you. But! But!"

Ye Chen, as if possessed by Zhou Ke'er, uttered shameless words with complete righteous indignation, "So did you hear that! You bastard, let go of Lan Yanran right now! Haven't you hugged her enough! I haven't even hugged her yet..."

Ah, can this really be forgiven? A ten-year veteran Tauren warrior has arrived uninvited!

"Hey...do all you righteous cultivators use such unorthodox methods? Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

Bai Feng couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath, but he had no intention of putting Zhou Ke'er down.

"There's no way around it, because I'm just too beautiful."

Zhou Ke'er also looked very troubled.

What you say makes sense, but I refuse!

Bai Feng coughed twice, and after whispering with Zhou Ke'er, he looked up at Ye Chen and said righteously, "Since you yourself wrote the letter of divorce, which caused others to misunderstand and made Lan Yanran think that your engagement had ended, I naturally also thought that your engagement had ended."

Since that's the case, and neither Lan Yanran nor I were aware of it, our ambiguous relationship was legitimate and reasonable. This is a mistake you made due to your own inappropriate expression, and you should bear the consequences yourself. There's no reason for you to try and break us up now! Is that reasonable?

"I thought you'd just beat him up. I didn't expect the Demonic Sect to be reasonable?"

Zhou Ke'er muttered something under her breath.

"Both of my arms are occupied holding you right now, so how am I supposed to fight? Trying to defeat a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator while holding someone in my arms, even if I'm at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, seems rather unrealistic..."

Bai Feng glanced helplessly at the very content Zhou Ke'er and could only explain in a low voice.

"This...I don't care! The engagement hasn't broken down yet, and Lan Yanran is still my fiancée! You can't do this!"

Ye Chen also started acting unreasonably.

"Ah... she's a loser."

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but squint and sigh inwardly, then looked at Ye Chen again and asked seriously, "So... we've both clearly shown our intention to break off the engagement, right? So why are you still so insistent? What do you like about me? Everyone says I'm a female demon and they're always chasing after me. If you're with me, you'll be chased too."

"That must all be a misunderstanding! Look, you're worried about my safety now, how could I be a female demon like they say? If I were really that kind of treacherous person, I would definitely try my best to trick me into coming here to protect you, wouldn't I?"

Ye Chen immediately defended Zhou Ke'er.

"...It's not a misunderstanding. When I said I'd kill their whole family, I really meant it...A family should be together, you know. I'm a person of my word."

Zhou Ke'er scratched her cheek honestly, genuinely surprised that Ye Chen's simp filter had reached such a level. "And the most important thing is... my cultivation has been mostly destroyed by the people chasing me. I only have a trace of protective spiritual energy hanging in my spiritual palace to barely maintain my current appearance. If even this last bit of spiritual energy is lost after my injuries flare up, I will age and die directly. Even so, are you still going to insist?"

Zhou Ke'er wasn't lying about this; it was indeed mentioned in the narration at the end of the opening CG.

"If they provoked you to do something as heinous as killing your entire family, then what they did was definitely even worse! It's definitely their fault!"

Ye Chen uttered some extremely distorted and morally bankrupt remarks to exonerate Lan Yanran. He then advised her, "Even if your cultivation is destroyed, you can still cultivate back to normal. Even if your foundation is damaged, there are miraculous pills to remedy it. As long as you have a breath of spiritual energy left, there is still hope. Don't give up so easily!"

"Um..."

Zhou Ke'er scratched her head.

In fact, since she is currently using Zhou Ke'er's own game body, although she is given a curse-like debuff such as "she will die of old age when her spiritual power is exhausted," there is actually spiritual power in Zhou Ke'er's own body—although the systems are slightly different.

"Rumble..."

Just then, Zhou Ke'er suddenly heard a muffled rumbling sound coming from afar.

Clearly, Ye Chen and Bai Feng, with their higher cultivation levels and sharper senses, were the first to look towards the source of the sound, even before Zhou Ke'er.

Countless huge clumps of snow were seen rolling down the mountainside from the mountain peaks and halfway up the mountain, seemingly slowly but actually at an astonishing speed, towards the foot of the mountain.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ke'er and her two companions were located near the foot of the mountain.

"Ah...it's an avalanche..."

Zhou Ke'er sighed softly, then remembered that the map in the game "Misty Dream" was different from other games where the terrain couldn't be changed; it could be destroyed... Therefore, given that she had spoken too loudly and Ye Chen had been shouting, it was quite reasonable that this had triggered an avalanche.

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

However, after two seconds, there was no sign that Bai Feng and Ye Chen were making any move or intention to run away. As they watched the avalanche fall, Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but urge them in a low voice.

"No...we can't run away now."

Bai Feng's expression was unusually serious. He even put Zhou Ke'er down and then explained, "This is not an ordinary avalanche... If you sense it carefully, you should be able to detect the large amount of spiritual energy contained in these rolling snow chunks... And look at their shapes, it's obvious... that they are gradually coalescing into a human-like form."

"This is a monster revered as the Lord of Winter, but it doesn't belong to the category of demons or monsters. It's more like a spiritual artifact endowed with a small amount of intelligence, specifically used for defense within secret realms..."

Ye Chen had some knowledge of this thing, so he had no time to worry about anything else. He looked at the snow blocks that were gathering with great seriousness and explained in a deep voice, "The strength of these monsters is at least at the Nascent Soul level, and this one... it seems to have already stepped halfway out of the Nascent Soul realm. It is obviously restricted by the realm of this inheritance land, which is why it has not broken through."

"But even so, this monster's strength must far surpass that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"

Bai Feng couldn't help but frown, and reached out to untie the jade fan hanging from his belt, holding it in his hand with a serious expression.

"So why don't we take advantage of the fact that this monster hasn't fully coalesced yet, and stop it from coalescing, or just run away?!"

Seeing Bai Feng and Ye Chen talking so seriously, Zhou Ke'er finally couldn't help but find an opportunity to interject and ask.

"It can't be stopped... This isn't some kind of merging monster or demon, but something like a spiritual artifact. As long as its core remains, no matter how many times we shatter these snow blocks, it will quickly regenerate."

Bai Feng shook his head, rejecting Zhou Ke'er's statement, and explained, "As for escaping... even I don't think I can be faster than this monster, so rather than making a hasty and embarrassing counterattack while being chased, it's better to prepare here and fight back."

"What kind of preparation did you make?! Is just standing here with your weapons considered preparation?! At least set up some kind of formation or spread out some talismans or something, right?"

Zhou Ke'er blinked, looked at Bai Feng and Ye Chen who were standing there waiting for the avalanche, and couldn't help but complain again.

However, he was just standing there complaining, but in reality he didn't move at all and had no intention of running away—well, after all, he could just teleport to another place if he was going to die anyway.

Zhou Ke'er, who is skilled at escaping, remained completely calm and even asked Bai Feng and the others questions with great interest.

"First of all, it's too late to set up an array now. Do you think an array is something that can be set up instantly by simply splashing spirit ink on the ground?"

Bai Feng glanced helplessly at Zhou Ke'er, "Secondly... you know perfectly well what I have on me right now. Those two sword cultivators didn't even have a single spirit talisman in their storage bags, and the spirit pills were limited to the most basic healing pills. They were basically stuffed with materials for forging spirit swords... What good are they!"

"Wait... Holy crap?! What did you just say?"

Zhou Ke'er suddenly stared in disbelief at Ye Chen's direction and subconsciously swore.

"What happened? What's going on... Holy crap?!"

Bai Feng subconsciously turned his head to look, and then... couldn't help but swear.

because...

Bai Feng had just finished saying, "Do you think formations are something that can be completed instantly by splashing spirit ink on the ground?" when Ye Chen started splashing ink to draw formations. He had already finished one and was now starting to draw the second one.

"Why are your formations so powerful? You even needed to use a sword when you ambushed us! What if you had set up a formation along our path..."

Bai Feng used his spiritual power to sense the array that Ye Chen had just drawn. Unexpectedly, it was not weaker than he had imagined due to its hasty creation. On the contrary, it was slightly stronger, although it was much smaller than the original array.

"Because that would be very dangerous. If that happened, Lan Yanran might actually get hurt."

Ye Chen looked at Bai Feng with a puzzled expression and replied with an air of matter-of-fact.

"???"

Bai Feng silently typed out a few question marks.

"Wait a minute, since you can cast arrays instantly, why don't you inscribe a teleportation array? Can't we just teleport away?"

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but continue asking, while inwardly complaining:

"Hey, this monster isn't actually that fast, is it? We've been talking for so long, but it still hasn't fully coalesced. If we take advantage of this time to run away, we definitely have enough time, right?!"

"That's right. If a corresponding teleportation array isn't inscribed somewhere else, then a single teleportation array will just send us there randomly. I don't know where we'll be teleported to; we might even end up inside this guy's stomach..."

Ye Chen scratched his head, having finished setting up the last defensive formation before the monster charged. "It's too unstable, so I think it's best not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary. But I've already inscribed the teleportation formation there, so if it really can't hold out, that's the only option."

As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed to one of the eight or nine formations he had just quickly set up.
