Chapter 305
The early autumn sun gradually set, and the young girl lay sprawled across the large, soft bed, completely abandoning her image.
She curled up lazily inside a teddy bear taller than herself, seeking warmth.
Her petite figure was perfectly hidden by the fluffy stuffed bear, revealing only a pair of small, fair feet at the edge of the bed.
The girl mumbled incoherently in a bizarre dream, who knows what terrifying scenes she was witnessing in her sleep.
Her pale cheeks flushed with an unnatural redness, and even her plump toes curled up tightly in tension.
Outside in the living room, Ye Shulian walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, carrying a steaming bowl of pork rib and lotus root soup.
The rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire dining room. Gu Ran pushed open his bedroom door and saw this scene.
He hurried forward with his long legs, reaching out to take the scalding hot soup bowl.
Ye Shulian quickly turned sideways, deftly dodging the young man's hands.
"You child, step aside. This soup is fresh out of the pot and extremely hot, don't burn your hands."
"I don't need your help here. Hurry up and call that girl Zhenzhen out to eat."
"She's been sleeping all afternoon. Sleeping so much during the day, is she going to sleep at night or not?"
Ye Shulian kept muttering as she carried the soup bowl steadily toward the dining table.
The heavy porcelain bowl was placed on the solid wood table, making a crisp, pleasant clinking sound.
Gu Ran agreed briskly and turned to walk toward Ye Zhenzhen's bedroom door.
Ye Shulian straightened her aching back and turned to shoot a sideways glance at her husband sitting on the sofa.
Gu Xiangcheng was holding his well-worn purple clay teapot, drinking hot tea with a look of pure enjoyment.
"Some people, really, the older they get, the more useless they become."
"As the saying goes, if you can't see the work that needs to be done, it's no use. Your situational awareness can't even compare to a kid's now."
She snorted softly in absolute disdain and turned back to the kitchen to bring out the other dishes.
On the sofa, Gu Xiangcheng looked up in astonishment, thinking to himself that his wife was clearly making pointed remarks at him.
An inexplicable intuition alerted him to the danger. He quickly put down his purple clay teapot and gave a light, cover-up cough.
Gu Xiangcheng stood up from the sofa and trotted toward the kitchen.
"Shulian, what did you cook today that smells so good? Let me help you carry it."
He went up to her with a face full of smiles, smoothly taking the stir-fried seasonal vegetables from Ye Shulian's hands as she returned from the kitchen.
Gu Xiangcheng caught a glimpse of Gu Ran's retreating back from the corner of his eye and smiled ingratiatingly at his wife.
Ye Shulian wiped her hands casually on her apron, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised.
"Look at you. Hurry to the bathroom and wash your hands. I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks."
"You don't need to do such a small thing, I'll get them."
"Wife, you worked hard cooking today. Hurry and sit down to rest."
Seeing Gu Xiangcheng's eager-to-please behavior, Ye Shulian couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Fine, you go then. I really am tired."
She turned to look in the direction Gu Ran had left, a hint of confusion appearing on her face.
"That boy, didn't I tell him to wake Zhenzhen up? Where did he go, there hasn't been a sound for ages."
Meanwhile, inside Ye Zhenzhen's room, the glass door connecting the balconies of the two rooms made a faint sliding sound.
A tall, slender figure, using the cover of the night, quietly slipped into the room filled with a girl's sweet fragrance. The balcony door was once again shut tightly.
Guided by the faint neon lights of the city outside the window, Gu Ran groped his way gradually toward the small figure on the bed.
In her sleep, Ye Zhenzhen only felt her breathing becoming increasingly difficult.
A strong pressure weighed on her lips. She instinctively opened her mouth and bit down hard on the source blocking her breath.
A sharp pain came from Gu Ran's lips, hurting him so much that he gasped.
"Hiss, how does this girl still bite people when she's asleep? Is she a puppy... She bites pretty hard too."
He licked his slightly broken lip corner and looked at the defenseless, peaceful sleeping face in front of him.
Unable to hold back the tickle in his throat, he chuckled softly in the dark.
He reached out two well-defined fingers and mischievously pinched the girl's perky nose.
In her dream, Ye Zhenzhen was experiencing a thrilling escape, chased frantically by a massive brown bear.
She only felt her breathing becoming more rapid, her legs incredibly heavy.
Just as she was struggling to run forward, the ground beneath her feet suddenly vanished!
The once solid land instantly turned into a bottomless ocean.
The girl struggled to swim upward in the freezing seawater, the oxygen in her lungs being squeezed out bit by bit.
Just a moment before she could no longer bear the suffocation.
The small figure on the bed opened her watery eyes, sat straight up, and panted heavily.
Ye Zhenzhen looked around with a bewildered gaze, the fear of reality and the dream still somewhat blurred together.
When she clearly saw the familiar layout of her surroundings, she patted her violently heaving chest with lingering fear.
That was close!
She almost suffocated to death in that absurd dream.
God knows how terrifying it is to dream of falling into the sea for a landlubber who doesn't even dare to step into a swimming pool.
Her mind was full of the relief of surviving a disaster, completely unaware of the dark shadow gradually approaching behind her.
Until a faint, chilling breath blew perfectly onto the sensitive area behind her ear.
Ye Zhenzhen tensed her slender body, and dense goosebumps crawled all over her from her spine.
Before she could turn her head, another cold breath blew over.
Ye Zhenzhen turned pale with fright, drew a deep breath, and opened her mouth, ready to scream at the top of her lungs.
A warm, broad hand promptly covered her mouth, tightly blocking the girl's impending shriek.
"It's me, don't yell."
Hearing this punchable yet familiar voice, the heart Ye Zhenzhen had in her throat finally settled back into her chest.
Soon, her sleep-addled brain quickly reacted, and the girl furrowed her brows slightly.
Why was this guy in her room so late at night? When exactly did he sneak in from the balcony?
Looking at the blurry silhouette of the young man in front of her, she couldn't help but think.
She had slept so restlessly just now, being chased by a big bear, then falling into the sea and unable to breathe...
Plus, this guy had just deliberately blown cold air behind her back to scare her.
It seemed the suffocation in her dream just now was all this bad guy's doing!
What a jerk!!
After figuring all this out, Ye Zhenzhen took advantage of the cover of night.
While Gu Ran was completely off guard, she opened her mouth and took a big bite.
She bit down solidly on the large hand covering her mouth.
The attacked Gu Ran was in so much pain he wanted to pry her mouth open, but he really couldn't bear to use force.
He could only lower his voice and let out a stifled cry of pain in the darkness.
"Damn, Ye Zhenzhen, you're biting to kill!"
The girl proudly raised her head.
Hmph~ I'll bite you to death, you bad seed~

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
