Chapter 160: Duke Zhou Had No Daughter

And its host was like a lunatic, a chameleon-like lunatic. Others had one face, she had a hundred.

Could it be that one who nears vermilion becomes red?

But it's not a crazy system, is it?

Everyone said, "Right."

[Congratulations to the host for accepting this hidden task: the live broadcast will be at midnight, showing the scene of Zhaozhao meeting her mother.]

The system was trying very hard to materialize, wanting to see the host's reaction with its own big eyes, but unfortunately, its level was not high enough to materialize.

The host Wen Ying's expression remained unchanged, "What kind of answer do you want to hear? The truth or a lie? The truth is that I guessed it, the lie is that I'm so shocked!"

System, [...]

The host's performance was indeed... shocking.

Wen Ying thought she had to work at night, so she decided to take a nap now.

Placing Little White's nest beside her, Wen Ying closed her eyes, intending to daydream.

[The host slept deeply during the day, triggering the use of the reward: Meeting with Zhou Gong!]

[Meeting the Duke of Zhou: Everyone knows who the Duke of Zhou is. Isn't it incredibly exciting to meet him in a dream? Don't get starstruck~]

[Function: To have a beautiful dream meeting with Zhou Gong, isn't that enough for you? Not satisfied? Since you're not satisfied and so greedy, why not try your luck and seek opportunities?]

[Reward: This reward may or may not be available. What exactly it is depends on fate. Young people, don't be anxious. If it's yours, it won't run away; if it's not, you can't force it. Please look forward to it. If there isn't one, don't be discouraged. After all, you are already ahead of ninety-nine percent of people, able to meet the Duke of Zhou.]

[Warm reminder: Don't fall for Zhou Gong just because of his good looks; he's just a paper character.]

Sleep, young man.

The moment the system's voice sounded, Wen Ying had already entered the land of dreams.

Wen Ying looked around, unsure of where she was. She remembered that in her previous dreams, she should have been down below.

But now, she clearly knew she must be dreaming.

But this place really doesn't resemble that dark, sunless underworld, shrouded in twilight.

She stood amidst a stretch of green, the scent of grass wafting through the air. The soft grass underfoot spread out in patches, covering roughly three hundred square meters. Beyond this expanse of grass, colorful flowers dotted the landscape.

Wen Ying knew some of them, and there were also some very beautiful flowers that she didn't recognize at all.

Butterflies danced among the flowers, and the sound of flowing water reached my ears. With the addition of a crane, this scene would undoubtedly be a paradise.

Screech~~~

Suddenly, a crane swooped down and landed among the flowers, moving slowly. Wen Ying stood there, dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold.

I always feel that this dream seems to have some sort of prophetic power

She became the Heavenly Dao?

This can't be possible, right?

Wasn't this dream just too amazing?

What about the misty clouds?

As soon as the thought appeared, Wen Ying felt that the crane was indeed surrounded by swirling clouds and mist.

Does anyone understand this feeling?

Probably not.

"Where's the handsome guy?" This time Wen Ying spoke directly. In the real world, if you flirt with a handsome guy, you have to take responsibility. Here, you can do whatever you want, right?

"Fellow Daoist, would you like some good tea?" An ethereal voice sounded in Wen Ying's ear.

Wen Ying looked towards the source of the sound and had just taken a step when something suddenly grabbed her pant leg. She looked down.

"Are you Little White?"

"It's Xiaobai, Master. What is this place? Why are we here?"

Wen Ying bent down and scooped up Xiao Bai, holding it in her arms. "This is my... ahem, this is a fairyland! Following your master is definitely the best choice you've made, understand? In the future, when you can speak, or perhaps transform into a human, or ascend to immortality, you must remember the kindness of your master, understand?"

Although Little White didn't quite understand what his master meant, it didn't stop him from nodding.

"Master, I can speak now."

"This is because you are in a fairyland. Everything in the fairyland enhances your intelligence and cultivation, just like a pre-set game. Once you leave the game, everything you gained will be gone. But here, it allows you to experience something akin to sudden enlightenment, understanding the Way. Do you understand?"

Xiao Bai didn't understand, but he nodded.

Wen Ying held Xiao Bai and walked towards the source of the sound.

What was originally a lush green meadow suddenly changed after walking a certain distance.

Under a huge tree, an extraordinarily large tree, there was a tea table.

On one side of the tea table sat a handsome middle-aged man.

Not a handsome young man.

"Fellow Daoist, your visit has caught me by surprise. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."

A flash of lightning and thunder roared in Wen Ying's mind!

She shuddered, "Are you the Duke of Zhou?"

Dog system!

Damn!

You can't blame her for cursing; the system is really awful!

Who allowed the use of the reward she drew without her consent!

"System, you used my reward without permission. Now, if you turn Zhou Gong into a modern handsome guy, I can let it go!"

Originally dressed in a long robe, with long hair flowing down his back, and exuding elegance in every gesture, Duke Zhou suddenly transformed into a handsome young man with short hair, dressed in casual attire!

This handsome guy looks like he walked straight out of a two-dimensional world, with his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, his good looks are simply out of this world!

Wen Ying, "..."

"Xiao Bai, is this the magic trick of making people disappear?"

Goodness, with such tactics, she wouldn't mind if it happened a few more times!

"Handsome, I don't really understand tea, and I'm not very good at drinking it. Do you have any simpler drinks? A glass of watermelon juice would be fine."

"Sister... cough, beautiful lady, this is Enlightenment Tea, beneficial for consolidating your cultivation."

"This tea looks quite good, so I'll give it a try." Wen Ying picked up the teacup and drank it all in one go.

He casually brought the teapot over and placed it beside him. "I never thought tea could taste this good."

Xiao Bai heard this and climbed onto the tea table, making its intentions very clear.

The short-haired handsome guy, Zhou Gong, looked at Xiao Bai in astonishment. "I didn't expect a fox to understand tea? Then we are kindred spirits. Fox friend, would you like a cup as well?"

Xiao Bai's eyes were bright, staring at one of the empty teacups.

Duke Zhou held the teapot, poured a cup, and hadn't had the chance to remind Xiaobai to savor it slowly.

Xiao Bai, just like his master, drank a cup of tea in one gulp.

"Good tea!" Xiao Bai's eyes shone even brighter, filled with so much anticipation that it was about to overflow.

Xiao Bai truly understands tea.

However, Zhou Gong looked at Xiao Bai and said that Xiao Bai's body could currently only handle one cup. Drinking more would be of no benefit; not only would it fail to restore it to its peak condition, but it might even cause harm to its body.

So, Little White regretfully went to play in the fairyland.

Wen Ying looked at the handsome Zhou Gong with short hair in front of her. Although his plain speech was not very fluent, she was already satisfied.

"Is the legendary Duke of Zhou you, or your ancestor?"

Duke Zhou heard this question and remained silent for a moment. "I am not sure either. Throughout the endless ages, it seems I have always been in a cycle of reincarnation. I am just myself, solitary, standing apart from the world, with no family."

So meeting the Duke of Zhou's daughter was completely a baseless joke.

Everyone probably doesn't know that Duke of Zhou had no daughters.
