Dreams are bridges connecting all things.
They can cross dimensions, cross time and space, and even cross the boundary between life and death.
After the immortal master Liu Xubai and the Demon Lord Shen Lin, both from the world of cultivation, surpassed the highest realm of cultivation and entered a world called the Sea of Dreams,
their lives unfolded into an utterly unbelievable journey.
"A0-0, Liu Xubai, and A0-1, Shen Lin, welcome back," the navigator said with a smile.
Here, they boarded an ocean-patrolling vessel called Zhitu and were given new identities: Returners.
Their mission was to venture beneath the Sea of Dreams, find the dream cocoons formed by obsessions that drifted within it, and break them open to set their occupants free.
The dream cocoons held people from different dimensions, trapped in dreams by love and hate or by regrets they could not put aside, unwilling to wake. Every Returner had a duty to persuade them to leave, while also respecting the original owner's wishes: to be driven out or to sink into the dream forever.
This was a never-ending journey. Here, Liu Xubai and Shen Lin would begin a brand-new life.
With dreams as their steeds, they would write a pioneering chapter for a new age.
[Currently outlining and preparing chapters. Updates will be irregular. I'll write whenever inspiration strikes.]
[This modern novel, written as a follow-up to Feng Yue Ci and the Meng Jian Yi Fang series, will explain in the story the hints left unresolved in earlier works. If you haven't read them, you can treat this as an imaginative standalone; it won't affect your reading experience. This is purely for my own enjoyment! It's an episodic story, and all the characters from Meng Jian Yi Fang will make guest appearances in turn. The main couple gets nothing but sweetness, while the NPCs and supporting characters get a mix of sweetness and angst.]
[Happy ending. Entirely fictional! Entirely fictional! Entirely fictional! Please heed the content warnings.]
[Style and pacing: a slow, steady build; characters who don't fit into simple labels.]
[Setting notes: This uses the setting of Feng Yue Ci. See the final chapter of Feng Yue Ci for details on the world.]
[Story elements: quick transmigration, System, imaginative concepts, and multiple elements that may hit sensitive spots. I'll continue adding content warnings later for reference. This is an imagination-driven story, recording various alternate timelines, skits, and plenty of Easter eggs. The story is told mainly from Shen and Liu's perspectives.]
[Update notes: I'm reliable about finishing my stories. I won't phone it in or pad the story, and I'll revise extensively. I guarantee it will be completed.]
Theme: May we always ride our dreams like steeds and find a home wherever we go
Still an irresponsible little theater One school morning, Xuan Yu was brutally drowning a fried dough stick. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Lin riding a familiar bicycle with a familiar person sitting behind him. So he nudged Xuan Zhiqing, who was focusing on peeling eggs next to him: "Zhiqing, look, the peacock has started to open its tail again. But this is quite romantic. When will you give me a ride?" Xuan Zhiqing raised his eyes, met Shen Lin's sullen eyes, and put the eggs on Xuan Yu's plate helplessly: "If you hadn't dragged me to eat breakfast because you were hungry, you would be the one sitting back with your eyes open now." Shen Lin pedaled the bicycle vigorously, fearing that Xuan Yu would catch up: "I won't tell you that Xuan Zhiqing lent me this bike~" "Shen Lin! You and I are irreconcilable!!!" Liu Xubai smiled and waved to them, then naturally hugged Shen Lin's waist and walked away in the eyes of the two people behind him.
When Liu Xubai first came to this world, he was not used to using a hair dryer. He still felt in a daze that he was in the God Realm. As soon as his mind changed, the moisture in his hair would naturally dissipate. As a result, his long hair stayed wet until late at night. When he woke up the next day, he, who had always been in good health, actually had a slight headache. "I want to develop the habit of using a hair dryer," Liu Xubai pressed his forehead uncomfortably: "Hanzhao, you have to supervise me." Shen Lin gently rubbed his temples for him, with a smile in his eyes: "As ordered~" Unexpectedly, the next night, Liu Xubai immersed himself in studying the information about the next world after taking a shower, and had already forgotten about drying his hair. When he woke up the next day, he touched the ends of his dry hair and turned to Shen Lin beside him with some confusion: "Have I adapted to this world? I forgot to dry my hair last night, but my head doesn't hurt today." Shen Lin didn't answer. He propped his head and looked at his novel appearance, with the corners of his lips raised. In fact, he was afraid that Liu Xubai would catch a cold and have a headache last night, and he was reluctant to wake him up, so he took a towel and dried his long hair bit by bit.
The stars outside the ship are bright, and the lights inside are brilliant. Shen Liu nestled on his shoulder, raising his glass to the bright moon in the sky, respectfully meeting each other and meeting again. There was a lot of noise and joy behind them, and Shuangxuan was jumping around wildly, "Why would someone stuff peppercorns into mooncakes? Whose evil cultivator is this?" The perpetrator laughed and hid in the crowd, running into the arms of his lover. There is no separation or suffering here. I wish all the children good health and all the best. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
The same transition was made to a small theater. The honest children on the Zhitu ship are very popular. When A0-12 is patrolling (walking around) the streets, he can't help but turn a corner and tease the second young man of the jewelry store, pretending to be anxious about whether the kitten's cry is "meow" or "meow". Out of professional habits, the second young master would start to think about it and recite it repeatedly to compare. There was a series of meows under the store corridor. A0-12 was very happy. He stared at the other person with his golden eyes and praised, "What a good cat, what a great cat!" Then he was chased out three streets away by the shop owner with a broom, shouting, "Don't bully my brother." The breeze is gentle and the warblers are flying and the grass is growing. For them in this line, the author does not update, secretly writes some snacks for himself to eat, and no longer has any hatred. 😭
I have an idea. I apologize in advance. I'm sorry to the author_(:3"∠)_ When Shen Lin first came to this world, he knew little about the local culture. With his strong strength, high ranking, and relatively approachable personality, he has attracted many fans. Later, when Liu Xubai was welcomed back, there were even more discussions in Xixisuosuo. Although Shen Lin knew about it, he didn't care. Anyway, the world is not afraid of letting others comment. Until one day, a little girl had the courage, flushed in the face, and whispered excitedly next to Shen Lin, "Zunzun, have you ever driven a car?" Shen Lin raised his brows, thinking that the mission of the returnees was indeed long-term and difficult, and they would not be able to return to their original world for a while. In this way, Teacher Zun could use those weird four-wheel machines. Recently, he was worried about what excuses to use, so he said very calmly: "Not yet." The next day, a post titled # LiuXubai# quietly appeared on the forum. Followed by the word "Explosion". Tiandao, who was busy with his busy schedule, took a glance at it and opened his eyes in relief. "It's been a long time since I last saw my cub, and if he shows any affection, it will be trending on his own. How long will the little lovers last... Wait?" #Shock! She looks cool on the outside, but she is a little bitch with low self-esteem on the inside# #tears! Take a bite of my demon lord who can't eat meat. As expected, the god lord is the flower of the high mountains.# #Driving is irregular, relatives shed tears. It's so funny, there's no car at all! # #Thiefgod. Have you knocked down today? Such as knocking! # Tiandao:… Heavenly Way: [○`Д´ ○] Heaven was angry and updated the past of a million words to guide the way → The title of "Feng Yue Ci" was enlarged! Bold!!! #Two people knocking together is destiny, destiny marriage# #,, , false propaganda, let's count down one hundred touching moments of their relationship# #: Creating a new folder in the dark 2# #Here~ again~Master#
Hahahaha, you cannot use words that do not belong to the civilization here in the dream cocoon simulation. My first reaction was all kinds of hearty silence words. I even looked forward to how the two little ones can avoid the mysterious power. Later, I slowly came back to my senses and realized that cyber heretics cannot appear. There are too many helpless things in this world, so all the sentient beings in the selfish story can achieve perfection. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone can make up for it. The journey to Feng Yue Ci was too long, so I softened my heart, and my eyes were full of kindness... Love... And so on! Except for house demolition! Xiao Shen is a grown man, so he shouldn't be able to tear it down, right??? Star. Jpg
Responsibility-free small theater: One winter night, the two of them drove past the snack street. Liu Xubai stared at the roasted sweet potato seller for a while, then turned his head and glanced at Shen Lin in the driver's seat. Shen Lin chuckled: This is greedy. "It's rare that Mr. Langhuan wants to eat something." Shen Lin pulled over and asked Liu Xubai for a kiss as reward, then got out of the car and bought it with satisfaction. Liu Xubai leaned against the car window, blushing on his cheeks. No matter when, he could not calmly accept Shen Lin's love, and would always reject it shyly. Liu Xubai lowered his eyes and imagined what Shen Lin was doing at this time through the foggy glass. The fingertips unconsciously moved across, leaving a trail of cold water droplets. Point. The little Shen Lin followed him, his eyes full of attachment, and shouted to Lang Huanjun, "Wait for me!" As he trotted! Horizontal. The drunken Shen Lin hugged him and said to him with love: I really like Lang Huanjun. Vertical. On the wedding day, Shen Lin shyly drank with him while holding a cup of Hexin wine, and the love between the two lives finally ended well... When he came to his senses, the word "Shen Lin" was outlined on the glass. Suddenly the roots of his ears turned red, and he raised his hand to quickly erase the evidence of guilt, but the next moment he saw Zhang's smiling face. Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief and drew a big heart on the place where his name had just been written. Liu Xubai's name was clearly in the middle. With the car window lowered, Shen Lin muttered softly about Lang Huanjun, the shark trafficker, the masterpiece I just completed... The warm lips came close and pulled away, and the unfinished complaints had no chance to be spoken, leaving Shen Lin in a daze. "Lang Huanjun, this is too cheating..." Liu Xubai was lying at the car window, looking at him with crooked eyebrows. The car window was closed again, blocking out the biting cold wind and the noise of the street. Shen Lin sat back in the driver's seat, holding the roasted sweet potato wrapped in a paper bag in his hand, like a young man who had successfully presented a treasure, looking at Liu Xubai with bright eyes. The blush on Liu Xubai's face had not completely faded away, so he thanked her in a low voice and reached out to take it. As soon as his fingertips touched the paper bag, they were burned by the hot temperature, and he subconsciously retracted his hand. "Hiss... It's so hot." "It's freshly baked, of course it's hot." Shen Lin chuckled, taking the sweet potato back into his hand naturally and carefully breaking it in half through the paper bag. The golden, red, soft, steaming potato pulp was instantly exposed to the air, and the sweet aroma became more intense, almost filling the entire carriage in a substantial way. Shen Lin carefully handed over the smaller half, not forgetting to warn: "Slow down, don't burn your mouth." Liu Xubai nodded and followed suit this time, carefully pinching the edge of the paper bag with his fingertips. The heat was still astonishing, burning the slightly cool fingertips through the paper, bringing a solid sense of warmth. He looked at the attractive color, turned his head slightly, and gently and tentatively pressed one cheek against the warm paper bag wrapped with sweet potatoes. It was an extremely wonderful feeling. After the sharp burning sensation, there was a steady stream of deep and gentle heat, like a warm current, penetrating through the skin and seeping into it, quickly dissipating the coldness on the fingertips when writing on the glass, and even the shy heat remaining at the base of the ears seemed to have calmed down. He half-closed his eyes involuntarily, his long and dense eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyes, and let out a very light and contented sigh. It seems that all the fatigue and hustle and bustle have been ironed out and purified by this simple and blazing warmth. His defenseless look, relying on this bit of warmth, completely fell into Shen Lin's eyes. His heart seemed to have been hit hard by something, making it soft and swollen. He was so absorbed in watching it that he even forgot about the other half of the sweet potato in his hand. His Lang Huanjun, under his cold and pure appearance, always hides such an easy-to-satisfy and lovable side. A little sweet food and a little warmth can make him look so soft. "So warm?" Shen Lin's voice was unconsciously low and soft, for fear of disturbing the moment. "Well..." Liu Xubai still closed his eyes and gently rubbed his cheek against the warm paper bag, like a cat who was attached to warmth, "It's very warm." He was never a person who was greedy for enjoyment, but at this moment, he was happy with the warmth bought by Shen Lin and held in front of him, and he just wanted to indulge in it for a moment. Shen Lin couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed the sweet potato side of his cheek very gently with the back of his fingers - it felt warm and smooth, even more nostalgic than the sweet potato. "Is the sweet potato warm," Shen Lin chuckled, his eyes lingering, "Or am I warmer?" Liu Xubai finally opened his eyes and met those deep smiling eyes. There was still a slight glint in his eyes, and he glanced at Shen Lin as his eyes moved. There was no power in this look, but the blush on his cheeks and his dependent posture added a bit of shyness. He didn't answer the provocative question, he just straightened up slightly and took the sweet potato away from his face. Liu Xubai carefully broke off a small piece of golden potato flesh. Because it was too hot, he quickly pinched his earlobe with his fingertips, and then naturally handed it to Shen Lin's lips. "Taste it." He said softly, his eyes gentle. Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then a smile spread from his eyes to the corners of his mouth. He lowered his head obediently, took Liu Xubai's hand, and took the small piece of sweet softness into his mouth. The sweetness explodes on the taste buds instantly, reaching the bottom of my heart. "Is it sweet?" Liu Xubai asked, his eyes sparkling. Shen Lin tasted it carefully, but his eyes never left Liu Xubai's eyes for a moment, and he smiled meaningfully: "Sweet. But..." He suddenly leaned over and quickly placed a soft kiss on Liu Xubai's cheek that still had heat and blush. "It's sweeter here."
The brain is a small theater without responsibility Shen Lin walked up to Liu Xubai during the training break and said mysteriously: "Lang Huanjun, I know there are three people who particularly like you." Liu Xubai stopped wiping his gun and raised his head to glance at him. If you don't look jealous, then you are holding back a bad idea. So he chuckled and asked him: "Tell me who it is? Shen Lin kissed Liu Xubai fiercely and buried her head in his arms: "Of course it's me, me, me, [Spreading Flowers]" Liu Xubai was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and coughed softly: "There are three people who particularly like you, do you know who they are? " "Don't be shy, Mr. Lang Huan, I know this very well. Shen Lin looked at him and said firmly: "You, you, you!" " (Double announcement of passing by: I heard it, you love him so much and he loves you so much, all four ears heard it [rolls eyes])
The fragile jade skylark means that Liu Xubai is still the person who needs his protection in his heart, but Liu Xubai has long since grown up and can stand alone, and realizes that he will reject this love because it is "expensive". The identity recognition of the two people is misaligned, which is doomed for them to not reach the end. (Shen Lin: Why should the latecomer come first, because I am fighting for it??)
Knife~~~ Knife, the boomerang hit me, it really hurts... I have been sitting in the clouds for three thousand years, without seeing the cold moon or the warm sun. Why would anyone write a novel just to remind me of updates? Hey—— The night fell, and a cool breeze blew through their ears. They walked hand in hand on the road, and their shadows were very long. It was the Chinese Valentine's Day again, and they returned to the lights of the long street and completed their eternity.
