The moment she awoke from her dream, Ruan Lan opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, only to find her pillow was soaked with tears.
"What a strange, messy dream," she muttered.
Ruan Lan wiped the corners of her eyes, a profound sadness washing over her.
She took out her phone to call her sister, Ruan Tang, wanting to talk about it and relieve the oppressive feeling in her chest, but no one answered.
Ruan Lan then called Xu Lai.
When the call connected, she said with a sob, "Brother-in-law, I had a dream."
She then rambled on, telling him all about it.
Xu Lai's initial resignation gave way to a raised eyebrow as he listened. "The Ancestor of the Star Origin Sect once became a Great Emperor and then severed his own Emperor Realm Dao Fruit?"
Is that stupid? Very stupid.
But Xu Lai could completely understand the loneliness and desolation of having no one before or behind you.
