150: Nangong Ruoxue reveals the secret

Nangong Yu blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Sister Xue, shouldn't you have booked two rooms earlier? Which one is the other room?"

Nangong Ruoxue understood his words and couldn't help but smile, "I only booked this one!"

"Ah?" Nangong Yu was somewhat stunned, his expression a little lost, "Then where do I sleep?"

"Sleep here!" Nangong Ruoxue patted the bed beneath her and smiled.

"I..." Nangong Yu blinked, confused, and asked, "Then what about you, Sister Xue?"

"I'll also sleep here!" Nangong Ruoxue said matter-of-factly, not feeling anything was amiss.

Hearing this, Nangong Yu frowned slightly, "Sister Xue, but the two of us..."

But before he could finish, Nangong Ruoxue waved her hand and smiled, "No 'buts'! Sharing a room with you is for emergencies, to better protect you!"

Nangong Yu blinked, "Alright then, I'll sleep on the floor!"

"No!" Nangong Ruoxue quickly refused, her expression serious, "It's cold on the floor at night, Si Chen, you came out with me, I can't let you suffer!"

Nangong Yu's heart warmed slightly, and he cautiously said, "Then, Sister Xue, you..."

Nangong Ruoxue smiled, "Don't even think about it, I won't sleep on the floor either, I'll share the bed with you!"

"Ah?" Nangong Yu was stunned again, "But, Sister Xue, the two of us..."

He wanted to argue, but as soon as the words left his mouth, Nangong Ruoxue placed her hands on his shoulders, leaned in, and said, "What 'but'? What's our relationship? If your sister doesn't mind, why do you?"

A delicate fragrance wafted towards him, and Nangong Yu gazed at the exquisite face before him, momentarily lost in thought.

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, his expression serious, "Sister Xue, you're not joking with me, are you? I'm already eight years old!"

But Nangong Ruoxue shook her head and smiled, "Si Chen, don't overthink it!"

"Your sister, I, don't care about reputation. Besides, we haven't done anything, so even if rumors spread, what's the big deal?"

"Sister knows what you're thinking. At worst, your sister will protect my Si Chen for life!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu fell silent.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Sister Xue, I'll go open another room!"

"No!"

Nangong Ruoxue's voice rang out, and Nangong Yu was pulled into her embrace. A surprising sensation came over him, but Nangong Yu had no time to think further.

Nangong Ruoxue flipped him over and pinned him to the bed, her expression serious, "Si Chen, your sister is serious. Your sister isn't afraid, are you?"

"But..."

"No 'buts', alright? Just listen to your sister, okay?"

Nangong Yu looked at her serious expression, closed his eyes, and helplessly said, "Alright then!"

Seeing him agree, Nangong Ruoxue smiled happily, "Mwah, so obedient!"

Nangong Yu looked at her joyful expression, feeling a little inexplicable in his heart. Shouldn't he be the one who was happy?

With a great beauty by his side, even sleeping at night would be sweeter, right?

For the first eight years, his mother accompanied him, and now it's Sister Xue?

Nangong Yu thought silently, a smile unconsciously rising in his heart.

Then, remembering something, he asked, "Sister Xue, can you finally tell me now why you wanted to leave Clear Serenity?"

Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Nangong Ruoxue suddenly fell silent, unsure where to begin.

"Sister Xue, can't you say?" Seeing her silent for a long time, Nangong Yu asked cautiously.

Nangong Ruoxue shook her head and smiled, "Si Chen, it's not that I can't say, it's just that I don't know where to start."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu was slightly startled. Isn't it just a small matter?

Could there be a plot twist he didn't know about?

Nangong Ruoxue pondered for a moment, then slowly began, "Si Chen, do you believe in dream premonitions?"

"Dream premonitions?"

Nangong Yu frowned slightly, somewhat not understanding. Could it be that Nangong Ruoxue had a Physique he didn't know about?

Or a special ability?

"Yes!"

Nangong Ruoxue nodded and continued, "Since I was born, in twelve years, I've only had seven dreams!"

"Seven dreams?"

Nangong Yu was slightly surprised. Dreams in the Cultivator world were simple in some ways, and not simple in others!

Some dreams were simply caused by a Cultivator's mental exhaustion, leading to scattered thoughts while sleeping.

In simple terms, they were fantasies!

But some dreams were a premonition of a Cultivator's body, or a premonition caused by chaotic heavenly secrets!

Listening to Nangong Ruoxue, it seemed unlikely to be just a premonition?

But Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly, her expression complex, "The first dream was on the night of my first birthday. I dreamed that Eastern Flame invaded our borders, broke through Zhenshan Pass, and entered the Eastern Territory directly, with war breaking out everywhere in the Eastern Territory!"

"At the time, I didn't believe it and casually mentioned it to my Imperial Concubine Mother. As a result, my Imperial Concubine Mother, unintentionally, took it to heart and told Father Emperor. Father Emperor, half-believing, half-doubting, then instructed General Zhao Guangxin, the Grand General guarding the Eastern Territory."

"As it turned out, with careful planning against an unsuspecting foe, the Dongyan Empire launched a surprise night attack half a month later, but was repelled by General Zhao Guangxin!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He had heard about Eastern Flame's border invasion, but it had ended anticlimactically.

He hadn't expected Nangong Ruoxue to be involved, which surprised him somewhat.

"What about the second one?" Nangong Yu asked curiously.

Nangong Ruoxue smiled and said, "The second time was when I was three years old. I dreamed of a Little girl being born, and Father Emperor told me to call her 'younger sister'. Three days later, the Empress became pregnant with Ruoshui!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, almost understanding that Nangong Ruoxue really could have dream premonitions!

So, her telling him this now likely meant that her departure from Qingyou Imperial Palace was because she had already foreseen the Heavenly Sword Sect incident in a dream.

He looked at Nangong Ruoxue, waiting for her to continue her story, but saw that Nangong Ruoxue's expression had become somewhat sorrowful, and she looked at Nangong Yu with complex eyes.

Nangong Yu frowned and asked, "Sister Xue, is this third dream about me?"

Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly, then leaned her entire body onto Nangong Yu's chest, her voice low, "The third dream was the night before you were born. In the dream, the Northern Territory was breached, war broke out everywhere, and Second Imperial Uncle's entire family died!"

"I didn't even have time to tell Father Emperor before news came that Zhenbei Pass had been breached. I ran to see Father Emperor, but couldn't."

"Hearing that Father Emperor had already sent people to the Northern Territory, I breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, soon after, news came of Second Imperial Uncle's demise."

Speaking of this, Nangong Ruoxue hugged Nangong Yu tightly, her breathing becoming slightly erratic.
