Chapter 15 The Beginning of Dreams and Nightmares

When the sky was dyed red by the sunset, the devilish training of the day finally came to an end. Wang Yao, who was exhausted like a dead dog, didn't know when he returned to Jingzhou. He only knew that when he staggered back to the pavilion, a pretty figure was waiting for him at the door.

Luna was like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband to come home. She would stand on tiptoe and look around the crowd on the street from time to time. When she saw Wang Yao, her lively eyes suddenly curved into a beautiful crescent shape: "You're back!"

Looking at the girl's warm smile, Wang Yao felt warm in his heart, and his fatigue seemed to be relieved a lot. He responded, "Well, I'm back."

In fact, Luna has all the standard characteristics of a good wife and mother. Not only is she beautiful and has a good figure, but she is also very gentle, a typical soft girl. Of course, it doesn't count when she is angry. What impressed me most about Luna is not her beauty, but the cold murderous aura she exudes when she is angry. At that time, compared with her usual silly and sweet image, she was like a dark personality.

Maybe this is what a hero is? When he is angry, all the princes are afraid, and when he lives in peace, the whole world is at peace?

Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Yao dismissed this strange idea, wondering if his paranoia had reached an advanced stage. When he came to his senses, Wang Yao found that Luna was looking at him with a smile.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Luna smiled and said, "This military uniform suits you very well. It looks very handsome on you!"

"It's just a little heavy. I'm not used to it." Wang Yao looked away from Luna's pretty face uncomfortably.

Well, although I didn't mean that, Luna's occasional smile was really elegant and charming, and what man wouldn't be moved when a beautiful girl praised him in person? If you really dare to say that you can't, then why can't I dare to call you hypocritical?

With an awkward cough, Wang Yao walked towards the door and asked curiously, "Were you waiting for me just now?"

"Yeah, I've been waiting for a long time." Luna said behind him.

"You got off work so early? Uh no, you came back so early?"

"I've been at home all day." Seeing Wang Yao's surprised face, Luna smiled and explained, "When there is no war, except for some specific training, our heroes are very idle. For example, General Zhang and his men have nothing to do but drink all day long."

"It would be great to be a hero." Wang Yao couldn't help but curl his lips.

If Wang Yao is compared to a laborer moving bricks, then heroes like Luna should be white-collar workers sitting in the office enjoying air conditioning on a hot day. They have less work but higher wages. The comparison is like heaven and earth.

"You look so dirty. Did you have training on your first day?"

"Haha, you're right." Thinking of today's training, Wang Yao felt the soreness all over his body coming back. He smiled bitterly and said, "But don't wait for me next time. Our captain seems to be quite strict. Who knows how long the next training will last."

Luna puffed up her cheeks like a cute pufferfish and said, "I wanted to see you earlier."

With a bang, Wang Yao stumbled unexpectedly, and before he could even cross the threshold, he fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Luna was startled and quickly helped Wang Yao up.

"It's okay, it's okay. Are you serious?" Wang Yao, whose face was covered in dust, looked at Luna's clean little face in shock.

If he was just slightly moved just now, now his heart is almost surging!

Is this girl hinting at him?! They are all adults, so Wang Yao certainly doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, but isn't this too sudden?!
No, strictly speaking, as a normal young man, Wang Yao would naturally expect something, but he still had some self-knowledge after all, and he didn't think there would be any development with Luna.
But what to do? The girl has taken the initiative, wouldn’t it be a bit cruel for him to reject her outright? What if the girl cries again? !

Two selection boxes seemed to appear in front of him, one was [Promote immediately] and the other was [Refuse ruthlessly]. Wang Yao moved the mouse and made a difficult choice between the two boxes.
Seeing Wang Yao staring at her with a complicated expression, Luna felt strange for a moment, but she immediately seemed to realize that Wang Yao seemed to have misunderstood something. Her pretty face turned red, as tempting as an apple: "What are you thinking about! I mean I hope you can come back earlier to cook!"

The expression of a guy who was struggling fiercely in his heart froze instantly: "Cooking?"

"Yes." Luna said unhappily, "The sweet and sour pork ribs you made yesterday were delicious, but I don't know how to make them, so I had to wait for you to come back and make them for me. What do you think that means?"

"Aha, haha, that's right, of course I know what you mean!" Looking at Luna who was glaring at him angrily, Wang Yao laughed awkwardly with a swelled face.

It is said that men often subconsciously think that girls who approach them are interested in them. This is called "male daily complex delusion disorder", and there is no hope for it!
"Well, how about you cook today's meal? I've been training all day and I'm very tired."

"No, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, and you promised me yesterday that you will do the housework in the future!"

"But I'm really tired. Do you know how perverted our captain's training program is?"

"Then you return me 250 gold coins."

"Sister, it's not very kind of you to say that."

"250 gold coins."

“Give me a chance.”

"250!"

I won't go into the word count for what happened next. Anyway, after finishing his daily activities (cooking, eating, bathing, cleaning, and washing clothes), Wang Yao couldn't wait to climb into bed. He was already exhausted from today's exercise. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep. Night slowly fell over Jingzhou City.

Confused, the space was in chaos.

"hopeless……"

"From the beginning, we had no hope."

"No matter how hard we struggle, the final outcome is already determined."

A noble and sad voice seemed to come from the end of the valley, and it lasted for a long time.

Why struggle?

hopeless?

What do you mean?
who are you?
"Wang Yao" raised his head blankly, trying to see the truth about the source of the sound.

In the dark and endless space, there is a huge, cold statue with no end in sight?
……

"Wake up, wake up..."

A soft voice was calling gently, and there was an enchanting fragrance in the air.

Wang Yao opened his heavy eyelids, and what came into view was Luna’s fair little face.

"What, what happened?" Wang Yao struggled to get up, only to find that his entire body was aching.

"Did you have a nightmare? I could hear the noises from your nightmare from next door." Luna looked at Wang Yao, whose face was pale, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It seems like... but it also seems not to be... I can't remember clearly." Wang Yao rubbed his swollen and aching temple in a daze, his mind in a mess.

Who is that statue that is so tall that you can’t even see its face?
It seemed like he heard something but forgot it. But why was he so sad at this moment?
"Why are you crying?" Luna suddenly asked.

cry?
Wang Yao subconsciously touched his face and found that it was a little wet.

"Maybe it's saliva." Wang Yao bared his teeth at Luna.

"Not serious!" Luna chuckled and covered her mouth. After confirming that Wang Yao was indeed fine, she said, "If he is fine, I will go back to rest. It is still Chou hour and there is still some time before dawn."

Wang Yao nodded and said, "Well, go and rest. I'm fine."

After Luna got up and left, Wang Yao did not fall asleep again. He turned his head to look at the waning moon in the night sky outside the window and fell into an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness.

Why is his heart beating so fast? It seems like something bad is about to happen.
————————————————————————————

Waning moon, dark clouds.

The dim moonlight fell on the lonely towering tower, and the earth was silent.

The river not far away was flowing in the darkness. In the night wind, the dense grass swayed, making a rustling sound.

Suddenly, countless black shadows appeared in the darkness. They were hiding in the bushes without anyone noticing. Sharp swords were slowly unsheathed, flashing a creepy edge in the moonlight. In the middle, there was a pair of strange red eyes flickering, emitting the breath of death like the god of death.

As if at a silent signal, countless dark shadows in the grass rushed towards the tall tower under the moonlight like a flood breaking through a dam!
In an instant, screams, cries, and roars came one after another. Two different groups of people began to fight. Blood flew in the night, accompanied by falling corpses.

"Protect the defense tower, protect the defense tower!"

Someone was yelling, but then the sound stopped.

Under the silver moonlight, a burly black shadow fell from mid-air like a meteorite.

boom--

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart, debris flew everywhere, and the moonlight dimmed.

——"I am your nightmare! Hahaha!!"

　Something happened that drove me crazy. My computer overheated and shut down automatically. Then the chapter I had been writing for more than three hours was gone. I almost banged my head against the wall. I was supposed to post it at 2 o'clock, but it was delayed until now. I won't talk about it. Where are those friends who said they would leave votes for me yesterday? Come here, let's talk about voting for recommendations.
