When Beauty Meets Beasts

Huanhuan took two steps before she was stopped by an invisible wall.

She had to stop and reach forward. There was nothing in front of her, but she could feel what looked like a glass wall. It was very smooth and hard.

"What's going on? Why can't I get through?"

Little Brat said, "This is the power Nightmare uses to isolate external objects. It's like he's cooking delicious food and there's a sign outside the door to forbid outsiders from entering lest they destroy his delicacies."

What a nonsensical metaphor! Huanhuan was powerless to complain and asked the question she was most concerned about, "How can I get rid of this hindrance? I have to wake Bai Di up. I can't let him become food for Nightmare."

"Leave it to me."

Little Brat raised his right hand and pressed it against the invisible wall. He gradually exerted strength…

Light began to glow around his palm.

White light spread out bit by bit.

Huanhuan seemed to hear a crack as if something was shattering.

Little Brat pressed her head into his arms with his other hand. "Don't look."

The invisible wall instantly shattered, and a blinding white light suddenly spread.

Little Brat's eyes were covered by the shark silk, and Huanhuan lay in his arms. All she could see were his clothes. The strong light could not hurt her eyes.

A moment later, Little Brat let go of her. "Alright."

Huanhuan turned around and saw countless stars floating in the air like fireflies on a summer night. They were clearly flickering and bright.

Little Brat reminded her, "I forcefully destroyed the isolation layer created by Nightmare. He must have discovered my existence by now. You'd better wake Bai Di up before Nightmare appears."

"Alright!"

Huanhuan ran toward Bai Di.

This time, she wasn't stopped. She ran to Bai Di's side smoothly.

Bai Di was still in pain from losing his love. His eyes were red, and his handsome face was filled with despair.

As a bystander, Huanhuan could only see him hugging an ethereal figure. Not to mention facial features, the figure's gender couldn't even be distinguished.

She reached out to push him away, but her palm pierced through his shoulder.

She couldn't touch him!

At this moment, Little Brat had already caught up to her. He explained, "Although you're both in dreams, you're in different dreams. This is like you're in the third dimension while he's in the fourth. Dimensional differences naturally prevent you from touching each other. It's against the laws of science."

Although the environment was not suitable for complaining, Huanhuan couldn't help but say, "It's already very unscientific to be able to create dreams. Why are you talking to me about the laws of science?!"

"Ahem, let's not care about these details. Saving people is more important."

"But I can't touch Bai Di. How can I wake him up?"

"Look at this."

Huanhuan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a small oil lamp beside Bai Di. The light was very weak and could go out at any moment.

Little Brat said, "This light represents his current soul state. The brighter the fire, the stronger his soul is. But if the fire is extinguished, it means that his soul has completely fallen into this nightmare and can't be awakened again. He'll be eaten by Nightmare."

Hearing this, Huanhuan immediately panicked.

She quickly shielded the oil lamp with her hand so that it wouldn't blow out.

When her palm approached the light, Huanhuan felt warmth. Her heart skipped a beat.

Being able to feel the warmth of the fire meant that she should be able to touch it.

Huanhuan braced herself and gently fiddled with the wick with her fingers.

The fire swayed gently and made a slapping sound.

At the same time, Bai Di's expression suddenly changed. He straightened his back and looked around. "Who is it?"

Huanhuan immediately picked up the oil lamp and walked up to him. "It's me, Huanhuan!"

Bai Di stared blankly at the light that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Under the light of the fire, Huanhuan's figure was faintly discernible.

He was very surprised. "Huanhuan?!"

Seeing that he could finally see her, Huanhuan was overjoyed. She quickly said, "Time is of the essence. I can only make it short. This is a dream created by Nightmare. Everything you saw just now was fake. I'm not dead. All of us are fine! Therefore, you have to be well. You can't lose your mind in the dream. The children and I are still waiting to go home with you!"

She said all this in one breath.

Bai Di's surprise became even more obvious.

"Then why are you in my dream?"

"Because I've also fallen into a dream created by Nightmare. I—"

Before Huanhuan could finish, she heard a terrifying roar behind her!

Little Brat immediately shouted at her, "Give him the lamp and let him leave!"

Huanhuan quickly stuffed the oil lamp into Bai Di's hand. "Go! Don't look back!"

The moment Bai Di took the oil lamp, Huanhuan disappeared from his face.

"Huanhuan!"

Bai Di's eyes flew open, and he sat up with a cry.

However, he realized that the scene in front of him had changed.

He looked around. He was lying on the ground, surrounded by strange black rocks. In the distance, there were deep and dense trees.

This was Nightmare Forest.

He had woken up from his dream.

He had returned to the real world.

Bai Di quickly stood up and searched the area carefully. He found many beasts in every corner. In addition to the beast soldiers, there were also Huanhuan, Shuang Yin, Shuang Jing, and the others.

Without exception, they were all unconscious.

Bai Di remembered what Huanhuan had said to him in the dream and roughly understood the reason.

It seemed that the monster hidden in Nightmare Forest was Nightmare, and they were all forced to fall into dreams created by Nightmare.

He was woken up by Huanhuan just now, but the others had yet to wake up. They should be in a dream too. Huanhuan must be thinking of a way to wake those people up.

Bai Di couldn't enter the dream again. He had to gather everyone together and patiently guard them in case they were attacked.

At this moment, everyone was unconscious and defenseless. If they were ambushed, they would definitely be wiped out.

Bai Di stood motionless like a mountain. His tall and majestic body was like a legendary guardian god that no one dared to cross.

Tao Wei was hiding under a tree not far away.

He chased after Huanhuan and the others. He was very happy to see that they had fallen into the dreams created by Nightmare and were all unconscious. He was about to kill them all when Bai Di suddenly woke up!

Tao Wei knew that he couldn't beat Bai Di in a head-on battle. He could only beat his chest and lament that he had missed a good opportunity.
