Dream King - Chapter 11
"Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in and feel uncomfortable."
"I didn't mean to laugh, I really didn't." Bai Qian shook her head repeatedly, but finally burst out laughing.
Mo Mo was speechless as he looked at Zhe Yan and the other person who were laughing like crazy, and at Zi Lan who was completely confused.
Watching the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan hurtle towards him, Mo Mo thought to himself, "It's come at just the right time." He then reached out and snatched the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan into his hand, snapping it open with a "snap." "Not bad, it's a fine fan." He closed the fan, casually played with it for a moment, and then handed it to Bai Qian.
Bai Qian blankly accepted the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan handed to her by Mo Mo, then casually opened it, a scene that was witnessed by Mo Yuan and the others who had just arrived.
Mo Yuan led his disciples to the front of the hall and nodded slightly to Mo Mo and Zhe Yan. The disciples behind him bowed to Mo Mo and Zhe Yan and said, "Greetings, Emperor Wangchen, greetings, High God Zhe Yan."
Zi Lan: ⊙﹏⊙ "Holy crap, this seemingly gentle and weak person is actually the famous Emperor Wangchen, I'm doomed."
Seeing Bai Qian staring blankly at Mo Yuan, Zhe Yan nudged her with his hand and gestured towards Mo Yuan with his lips.
"Oh, this little fairy Siyin greets God Moyuan." After bowing, she returned the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan to Moyuan.
Mo Yuan stepped forward, picked up the fan, and said to Mo Mo, "Your Majesty has not left the Heavenly Palace for many years. What brings you to Kunlun Mountain today?"
Mo Mo glanced at the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan in Mo Yuan's hand and said, "This Emperor was just wandering in the heavens when I was startled awake by the fan in your hand. I had nothing to do, so I came to take a look, and I didn't expect to encounter such a pleasant thing. Interesting, really interesting, don't you think, Zhe Yan?"
Although Mo Mo interfered, in the end, Bai Qian, now Si Yin, still became Mo Yuan's disciple. Apart from the addition of Mo Mo, who was always eager to watch the drama unfold, everything seemed to be exactly the same as in the original story. Nothing happened, nothing changed. But was nothing really changed?

Chapter 18 Mo Mo's Bewilderment
Time flies. It has been 20,000 years since Emperor Wangchen Momo announced his seclusion. However, the truth is that Momo felt that 20,000 years was too long and so he ran away. After all, although cultivation knows no time, who would like to cultivate forever? He is not a cultivation fanatic. Moreover, Momo is a model young man of the 21st century. Therefore, it is only natural for Momo to run away.
Mo Mo had been back home for more than half a year, during which time he had married Liu Xueqing. The wedding was quite simple and plain; they just killed a chicken, gathered the family together, and bowed to each other. Of course, this was because Liu Xueqing had not yet graduated and they were afraid of trouble. Later, both families said that they would hold a grand wedding after Liu Xueqing graduated.
"Twenty thousand years have passed. I wonder if anything has happened, and I wonder how my garden is doing now."
Stepping outside the palace and looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh, "Time is indeed the most ruthless thing; it doesn't stop for anyone or anything."
"May I ask who you are?" Mo Mo was stopped by a fairy maid as soon as he stepped out of the main hall.
Mo Mo "..."
"You must be new here, otherwise you would recognize me." Then he continued, "I am Emperor Wangchen. You may leave now. If anyone is looking for me, just say I had a sudden inspiration and went for a walk." After saying that, he left his Tianchen Palace.
"I haven't been away for a long time, so I don't know how the plot is going. Let's go check out Kunlun Mountain first."
Watching Si Yin being taken away by Yao Guang, Mo Mo felt that his luck was really good. He didn't expect that he could encounter the real beginning of the plot just by going out for a walk.
"It looks like the next scene will be a hero rescuing a damsel in distress. Should I steal Mo Yuan's spotlight? I'm getting excited just thinking about it!"
"Since we're already here, how can we just watch Mo Yuan perform all by himself? Let's go for it. There's no harm in it anyway, and the hero saving the beauty is the easiest way to win a goddess's heart. Although Bai Qian is unlikely to fall in love with me, what if it works out? Anyway, trying won't get me pregnant."
Mo Mo timed things outside Yao Guang's cave, estimating that Bai Qian had already been imprisoned in the water dungeon and should have reappeared after being submerged once, walking down Yao Guang's mansion.
"Greetings, Emperor Wangchen," the maidservant guarding outside Yaoguang's residence said hastily upon seeing Mo Mo.
"I'll inform your High God that Wang Chen has come to visit and has important matters to discuss," Mo Mo said, a hint of urgency on his face.
A moment later, Yao Guang came out and said to Mo Mo, "I was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival. Please come in." With that, she led Mo Mo into the cave.
"To be honest, I came to Kunlun Mountain today on behalf of one person, Si Yin, the seventeenth disciple of Mo Yuan. However, I saw Si Yin being invited by the High God as soon as I arrived at Kunlun Mountain, so I took the liberty of disturbing you. Please forgive me, High God. To express my apology, I will surely repay you handsomely. How about we discuss Mo Yuan with you?"
Yao Guang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she glanced at Mo Mo and said, "Since the Emperor has spoken, Yao Guang will naturally obey. However, Lord Si Yin is usually arrogant because he has Mo Yuan backing him up. I have put him in the water dungeon to temper his temperament."
"Foolish! You'll only make things worse and increase Mo Yuan's dislike. Hurry up and take me there!" Mo Mo was really anxious. Otherwise, when Mo Yuan arrived, he would become the protagonist of the "hero saves the beauty" drama. Moreover, although Mo Mo wanted to save the beauty, he didn't want her to suffer.
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, Yao Guang exclaimed in surprise and immediately led him to the water prison. On the way, she anxiously asked Mo Mo if there was any way to remedy the situation, showing that Yao Guang truly loved Mo Yuan. "Just for your love, I, the Emperor, have become your matchmaker. Mo Yuan, you can thank me! Although I'm currently preparing to woo your younger brother's future wife, I've also given you a wife, who is also a High Goddess."
Upon arriving at the water dungeon, Mo Mo immediately spotted Si Yin, who was about to be submerged again. He quickly flung open the dungeon door and then pulled Si Yin out of the water, holding her in his arms.
Seeing that Si Yin was already in a semi-conscious state, Mo Mo quickly picked her up and sent a burst of immortal energy into her body.
After receiving a wisp of immortal energy from Mo Mo, Si Yin opened her drowsy eyes and looked at Mo Mo. "Is it the Emperor? It seems I've lost. But this isn't so bad, Goddess Xue Qing." After saying that, she wrapped her arms around Mo Mo's neck, rested her head in Mo Mo's arms, and closed her eyes.
At this moment, Mo Mo's mind was filled with questions. What's going on? What did she lose? And isn't Xue Qing in the real world? When did she make a bet with Si Yin? Also, this is different from the original story. It's different from the original story. It's different from the original story. I have to say it three times.
With a head full of questions, Mo Mo carried Si Yin to her residence. Just as he put Si Yin on the bed and covered her with a blanket, Mo Yuan and his disciples walked in.
Before they could speak, Mo Mo waved his hand and said, "I just brought her back from Yao Guang. She's fine now. She just needs to rest. Let's talk outside."
As Mo Yuan arrived at the main hall, everyone sat down according to their status as host and guest. Mo Mo then recounted Si Yin's story in detail, though he concealed some details and inadvertently gained Yao Guang's favor.
After recounting Si Yin's story, Mo Mo took out a bottle of pills and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the Nine Gods Pill, which nourishes the immortal body and primordial spirit, strengthens the foundation and cultivates the essence. I hope this Nine Gods Pill can be of some help to Lord Si Yin after what she has suffered." Without waiting for Mo Yuan to say anything, he got up and left.
After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Mo Mo arrived at the border between Qingqiu and Yijie, which is the place where Si Yin and the ninth disciple Ling Yu were captured in the original work.
Looking around at the jagged rocks and sparse vegetation, Mo Mo found a large rock and dug a hole to shelter himself while waiting for Bai Qian to arrive. He thought he could then play the hero and save the beauty again. Mo Mo thought, if saving her once isn't enough, then he'll save her a few more times. Didn't the original story say that Bai Qian dislikes owing people favors the most? This is a life-saving grace, and not just once. Let's see how she can repay it.
On a rugged hillside, a cave has been carved out of a slightly tall and wide boulder. Inside the cave is a large wooden bed, and lying on the bed is a young man dressed in white robes with an otherworldly air. The young man has crystal-clear skin and an extraordinary appearance. What is even more surprising is that he is holding a smartphone and watching a movie.
This scene is just bizarre. In a fantasy world of immortals and heroes, why would a great immortal like you not cultivate diligently and contribute more to the world, but instead be watching videos on your phone? Why would a deity like you choose to watch TV dramas?
Mo Mo was in the cave watching the downloaded "Eternal Love" video, fast-forwarding through it until he finally saw Xuan Nu arrive at Kunlun Mountain to seek refuge with Si Yin, and at the same time bringing news that Bai Feng Jiu was about to be born.
In the drama, after Si Yin made arrangements for Xuan Nu, she conspired with Mo Yuan to have her ninth senior brother, Ling Yu, accompany her to Qingqiu to see Bai Feng Jiu, who was about to be born. In the end, Si Yin was captured and taken to the Da Zi Ming Palace, which triggered a series of events.
After watching the second episode, Mo Mo put down his phone and pondered. He realized that Mo Yuan rescued Si Yin at night, and Xuan Nu arrived the next morning. Then, the following day, Xuan Nu sent Ling Yu to Qingqiu with him, and they would likely arrive in about three days, though he couldn't say for sure because the original series didn't specify a timeframe. Thinking this, to avoid missing Si Yin's arrival, Mo Mo released his divine sense, maintaining a slight awareness. He would know as soon as Si Yin entered his spiritual sense's range. Then, he lay down on the bed and went to sleep, waiting for Si Yin's arrival.
Mo Mo didn't know how long he had slept when he was woken up by a group of masked men in black. Observing the movements of these people, who were the rebels mentioned by the Winged Clan, Mo Mo knew that the main character was coming. Sure enough, a short while later, Si Yin brought Ling Yu and rushed in.
"Left left, left right, there's one on the right, watch out behind, beautiful from behind, double kill."
"Sigh, why did they all commit suicide? It's better that they committed suicide." Although Si Yin and her companion were not afraid of these winged rebel soldiers with their skills, Mo Mo would definitely not let anything happen to Si Yin if an accident occurred.
After the rebels committed suicide, Wing Lord Qingcang and Li Yuanyanzhi led their troops to surround the area. Upon seeing this, Si Yin and Ling Yu immediately began to flee, while Mo Mo was eagerly considering what excuse to use to make a move.
Seeing the route Si Yin and the other person took to escape, Mo Mo couldn't help but chuckle, because they were heading towards the large rock that Mo Mo had temporarily moved to stay on, and were eventually blocked at the stone cave.
After dealing with Qing Cang for a while, Si Yin's identity was exposed by Qing Cang, who then prepared to take her away. Mo Mo knew that the time had come to make his move.
"Who's yelling at my cave entrance so early in the morning? Do they have a death wish or something?" he said, dispelling the concealment formation and stepping out.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Si Yin exclaimed in surprise.
"After sending you back a few days ago, I had a premonition that the little princess of Qingqiu was about to be born, so I came here ahead of time. After arriving here, I felt that something was strange, so I stayed here to see what kind of strange things were happening. Were you captured?" Mo Mo asked, feigning surprise.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we originally intended to go to Qingqiu, but we unexpectedly encountered Lord Yi. Lord Yi wants to take us to the Great Purple Palace," Si Yin said anxiously.
Mo Mo looked at Yi Jun and said, "Is what he said true?"
Sitting on his horse, Qing Cang said arrogantly, "I, Yi Jun Qing Cang, am honoring them by inviting them to my Great Zi Ming Palace. Since you are the Emperor of the Heavenly Clan, then come along. Hmph, besides, I know that the Emperor of the Heavenly Clan is named Donghua, who always wears purple robes and is indifferent to worldly affairs, while you wear white robes..."
Mo Mo's eyes narrowed as he looked at the people sitting on horseback, and he roared, "Get out!"
The moment the word "get lost" was uttered, a storm was created. Except for Si Yin and Ling Yu, who were unaffected, everyone else was shaken so badly that their blood churned and they fell off their horses. The Yi Yi soldier was even killed instantly. Qing Cang and Li Yuan, who were being targeted by Mo Mo, were seriously injured and coughed up blood. If Mo Mo hadn't shown mercy, none of the people here except Si Yin and Ling Yu would have survived.
"Since you dare to sit on your horse in front of me, you are truly courting death. Don't even mention a little brat like you, Qing Cang; even if your father, the former Wing Lord, came here, he wouldn't dare utter a single word of dissent. Today is just a small lesson. Let's go." With that, he led the way towards Qingqiu.
Watching Mo Mo and the other two disappear into the distance, Li said resentfully, "Father, who exactly is he? How can he be so powerful?"
Qingcang looked in the direction where Mo Mo and the others had left. Hearing Li Yuan's question, he looked at Li Yuan and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be the legendary person, the taboo of the Winged Clan, the existence that once made the four seas and eight wastelands tremble, Emperor Wangchen. Wasn't he supposed to have been out of touch with worldly affairs for tens of thousands of years? I thought he had already returned to chaos. I didn't expect him to appear here."
Mo Mo didn't care what Qing Cang and the others thought, because in Mo Mo's eyes, Qing Cang was no different from an ant. If he really angered them, he could just crush them with a flick of his wrist.
Mo Mo, along with Si Yin and Ling Yu, arrived at Qingqiu in no time. Bai Fengjiu had not yet been born when they arrived at the fox den. However, something happened after they arrived at the fox den that greatly surprised Mo Mo, who was known to be calm and collected.
As soon as Si Yin returned to the fox den, she reverted to her female form, seemingly oblivious to the fact that her senior brother Ling Yu was still beside her.
"This plot is wrong. Why did Si Yin revert to her female form? This is not scientific. Although deviating from the plot is somewhat related to me, it shouldn't be this drastic. It must be because of the wrong way I got out of bed today. Yes, it must be."
Si Yin—no, now Bai Qian of Qingqiu—ran straight into the fox den as if no one else was there, leaving behind only Ling Yu with his eyes glazed over and his mouth agape, Mo Mo with his jaw dropped, and a group of Qingqiu citizens.
Seeing Bai Qian of Qingqiu already running into the cave, Mo Mo finally came to her senses. "What does it have to do with me whether Bai Qian turns back into a woman or not? Why should I be bothered? If anyone should have a headache, it should be Zhe Yan and Mo Yuan!" So Mo Mo regained her composure and walked into the cave, pulling Ling Yu along with her.
"Xiao Wu, weren't you studying at Kunlun Mountain? Why are you back?" Bai Zhen was startled when she saw Bai Qian, then murmured, "You really are back. It seems Xiao Qian can't escape this time."
"Oh, never mind that for now, has Second Sister-in-law given birth yet?" Bai Qian asked anxiously.
"Not yet, but it should be soon." Zheyan carefully examined Bai Qian before answering.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the cave, and then Bai Qian's second brother ran out carrying a baby.
"Congratulations to the Fox Emperor on the birth of his eldest grandson, and congratulations to the Second Prince on the birth of his daughter. Wang Chen has once again come uninvited. I hope the Fox Emperor will not mind?" Mo Mo walked in with a smile and said.
Looking at Mo Mo's smiling face, Zheyan teased, "Your Majesty, you really are something. Last time Bai Qian was born, you came without a word with the goddess Xue Qing. And now it's the same thing. Are you plotting something?"
Before Mo Mo could reply, Bai Qian interjected, "He definitely has ill intentions; he's been eyeing me for a long time."
Mo Mo wanted to refute, but then she realized that she had indeed been eyeing the other person, but that was only recently. Even if Bai Qian had noticed something, she wouldn't have said it had been a long time ago. What followed was not only an answer to Mo Mo's question, but also a bombshell, which only deepened Mo Mo's confusion.
"Goddess Xueqing already told me not to try to deny it, but seeing that you've been behaving quite well lately, I'll reluctantly agree to marry you." Bai Qian looked at Mo Mo with a graceful demeanor, but if you looked closely, you could still see a hint of shyness and joy in her eyes.
Mo Mo:orz
Looking at Mo Mo and then at Bai Qian, Zhe Yan counted on his fingers for a while before saying, "I just calculated that today is very auspicious for marriage. Why don't we get things done today? It would be a double celebration."
Mo Mo once again orz
"Oh, right, the god said you might be hesitant to marry me, so the god gave me something." Saying this, he took out a ring and handed it to Mo Mo.
As the saying goes, the one who understands you best is often your enemy, and of course, your spouse. Taking the ring, Mo Mo probed it with his divine sense. After a short while, he sighed deeply, "My wife, you understand me best. After seeing this, you've got me figured out." While sighing, Mo Mo didn't notice a slight smile creeping onto his lips.

Chapter 19 A Temporary Farewell to Three Lives Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms
Mo Mo was suddenly forced to become the groom, and the bride was none other than Bai Qian, the beloved princess of Qingqiu. He felt like he was dreaming. He had only saved Bai Qian twice. Although saving a damsel in distress would bring him some credit, it wouldn't mean she would immediately offer herself to him. Moreover, it seemed that Bai Qian was quite interested in Mo Mo.
"My dear Xue'er, what happened to you? What did you do? Didn't you go back? I guess I'll have to ask you properly when we get back."
Mo Mo held what appeared to be a custom-made groom's suit in his hand, his head covered in black lines. When Mo Mo arrived at the wedding hall in his suit, the black lines on his head had increased even more.
It doesn't look like it was set up in a hurry at all; it looks like everything was prepared in advance. Otherwise, how could such an exquisite hall be set up so quickly, in less than half an hour?
It's like an anime or something that used to update once a week or once a month is now updating once a day or even twice a day. I wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't pre-planned.
Despite his bewilderment, Mo Mo still married Bai Qian. Although he didn't know how his wife had managed it, Mo Mo knew Liu Xueqing wouldn't harm him, and he wouldn't suffer any loss anyway. Besides, he had already planned to do so, otherwise he wouldn't have twice played the hero and saved the beauty. After all, what loser hasn't dreamed of having a lucky encounter, turning his life around, and successfully defeating the goddess and crushing all those who disagreed? Now that he had this lucky encounter, he wouldn't have the face to show his face if he didn't defeat the goddess.
Although the ceremony hall had been prepared beforehand, it was still somewhat shabby. Fortunately, it was the birthday of the little princess of Qingqiu, so a lot of things had been prepared, and many people had come. Moreover, the news had spread to the Nine Heavens, and those who could come came down quickly. Those who couldn't send gifts through intermediaries. After all, this was the wedding of an emperor, and although it was rushed, the proper etiquette could not be neglected. During the wedding ceremony, Bai Qian's ascension tribulation unexpectedly occurred, but Mo Mo easily blocked it, which further highlighted Mo Mo's power. There were so many people present, and because of Mo Mo's status, there were many people offering toasts. It wasn't until late at night that Mo Mo was able to escape and return to the bridal chamber.
Upon entering the room, Mo Mo was thrilled to see Bai Qian sitting quietly on the bed, dressed in a wedding gown and with a red veil over her head. She was the undisputed number one beauty in "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," and she was also a fox spirit! A fox spirit, right?
Lifting Bai Qian's veil, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the stunningly beautiful Bai Qian before him, truly deserving of the title of the most beautiful woman in the Four Seas and Eight Deserts.
