Chapter 834: 701. Why are women's beautiful dreams often too embarrassing to talk about?_1
"That's your own problem, isn't it? Do you really expect me to gift you a beautiful dream? That's not included in the reward."
Lin Yi's words not only failed to upset Gu Yuena but also made her a bit embarrassed because she indeed had many beautiful dreams, quite a few, to be precise. In fact, in recent days she almost never had nightmares; they were without exception all beautiful dreams.
Therefore, hearing this reward, Gu Yuena subconsciously felt it was a bit too sudden, especially since her beautiful dreams were somewhat not suitable for the public eye. If they were to really happen in reality... she would truly need to hide her face in shame!
Seeing Gu Yuena's somewhat strange expression, Lin Yi curiously asked, "What's wrong? You don't want this reward?"
Lin Yi was just joking when he asked that question, but Gu Yuena actually hesitated, which left everyone else feeling baffled and unclear about what was going on.
This was a gold-tier advanced reward! Even if the nature of the reward was somewhat tricky and bizarre, having a beautiful dream come true in reality was an exceedingly good fortune. Could it be that she didn't want that?
What on earth was Gu Yuena thinking? A big shot's mind truly is unfathomable.
Gu Yuena raised her hand, her expression torn as she said, "Wait, let me think about this."
This time, it was Lin Yi's turn to be surprised, "You really don't want it?"
"It's not that... Can I have a moment to think about it?"
Di Tian was also a bit shocked. What was there to think about? What was the master hesitating for?
Gu Yuena hurriedly spoke, even stammering a bit, "I... Can I decide whether I want the dream to come true after I wake up?"
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling like he had guessed something.
"You can't, there's no need to set such a rule. The reward already specified that nightmares won't come true, only beautiful dreams will. Who wouldn't want their beautiful dreams to become reality? Could it be that your beautiful dreams are different from others'? Very special? How about sharing them with everyone to hear?"
"Absolutely not!"
Gu Yuena sharply refused.
Lin Yi, expressionless, pressed, "Do you want this reward or not?"
"Let me think..."
For the first time, Gu Yuena hesitated onstage like a shy young girl.
She suddenly frowned and asked, "Why can't I receive an additional reward that allows me to control the details of the beautiful dream, considering I dealt such high damage, even breaking the record?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "That would be too powerful. Even a gold-tier advanced reward doesn't grant such authority."
Gu Yuena was speechless!
No, she was furious!
How could those indecent dreams ever be performed in reality? Messing around in a dream was one thing, but bringing them to life was downright embarrassing.
"Then forget it, I don't want this reward. Let whoever wants it have it."
With a flick of her wrist, Gu Yuena refused decisively, fearing that if she hesitated any longer, she might not be able to resist changing her mind.
Truth be told, although those dreams were embarrassing, the thrill was real.
"What?! My lord! Please don't be rash! How can you not want this?"
Di Tian couldn't help but rush forward, towering over Gu Yuena by several heads, yet so timid that he barely dared to get close to her.
"Please reconsider, my lord! If it were some black or red reward, it would be one thing to turn it down, but how can you give up such a reward?"
Gu Yuena said impatiently, "Aren't rewards supposed to be transferable? If I don't want it, can't I just give it to you guys?"
Having said that, she scanned her own team and then turned to Wang Qiu'er, "Auspicious Beast, it's yours."
Wang Qiu'er paused for a moment, then with an awkward smile, she shook her head, "Me? No, no, forget it. Give it to... give it to Zi Ji instead..."
Wang Qiu'er's refusal came as a surprise to Lin Yi.
Gu Yuena then looked at Zi Ji, "Then it's yours."
"For me? Really, my lord?"
Zi Ji asked excitedly, her gaze inadvertently glancing at Di Tian again. For some reason, Di Tian felt a chill down his spine under Zi Ji's look.
Gu Yuena: "Really, why would I lie to you?"
As if a scene had flashed through Zi Ji's mind, her face turned beet red. Just as she was about to agree, her words suddenly got stuck in her throat.
Zi Ji hesitated as well.
With a strange expression, she wrinkled her brows and couldn't help but turn back to Wang Qiu'er: "Auspicious Beast, what is your reason for refusing?"
"No... nothing, just feel that it's not very good to show off my dreams."
After hearing this, Zi Ji flashed an embarrassed smile: "Now that you mention it, I also feel that it might be a bit inappropriate... It feels so shameful to say..."
No sooner had she spoken than the Auspicious Beast, Zi Ji, and Gu Yuena, as if by a tacit understanding, all blushed.
Meanwhile, Bi Ji and Di Tian looked at them strangely like two fools, clueless about the riddle the three women were discussing.
Lin Yi frowned, wondering what strange creatures women are, how disgraceful their dreams must be that they are too ashamed to enact them in the real world.
"No one wants it? Then give it to Bi Ji or Di Tian, you decide," he said.
Lin Yi looked towards Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena expressed disdain: "Bi Ji is out of the question, her own reality lacks any logic at all, and her dreams are probably even more outrageous. If they materialize, Soul Land might just come to an end."
After hearing this, Zi Ji looked towards Bi Ji: "Sister, what are your sweet dreams about?"
Bi Ji: "What are sweet dreams?"
Zi Ji clamped her mouth shut, pretending she hadn't asked.
Lin Yi: "How about Di Tian?"
Gu Yuena cast a look at Di Tian's expectant gaze, and shook her head again: "I'm even less likely to give a man a chance to realize his dream."
Di Tian collapsed to the ground with a thud, tears and snot flowing freely.
He didn't understand what he had done wrong. Was it simply a mistake to be born male?!
Lin Yi speechless: "So what are you going to do with the prize?"
Gu Yuena crossed her arms arrogantly: "Unless you're prepared to offer a prize that can deal with the details of dreams, take it back. I don't want it, and I won't give it away."
"Okay."
Lin Yi's fingers came together, and the golden orb of light dissipated like a soap bubble.
Gu Yuena nearly suffocated, shocked that it was really taken back!
Not even a little leeway?! Really stingy!
Lin Yi looked up at her: "Begin your second assault of the day."
Gu Yuena squatted down, her hands covering her face.
She really wanted to cry.
After several deep breaths, she stood up again, her face set with a determined expression, signalling she was ready to stake it all.
"Give me a more reliable prize, I was so close to a million damage!"
In her words, full of helpless sentiment, Gu Yuena raised her hands, and the purple-blue light flashed fiercely on her fair arms.
The Thunder and Lightning element took the form of electric currents traveling along her forearms towards her fingertips, her middle fingers touching, as purple-blue arcs flashed, a purple-blue thunderball slowly formed and expanded, then split into two, enclosing the fire and ice Elemental Mixtures.
"Zizz, zizz—"
Suddenly, the audience felt that this assault's damage should reach one million.
