Chapter 706: Chapter 706 - 674: Uncle Qi and I are not going to be stuck here forever, are we? - Part 2

"What’s wrong?" Ji Youzhi asked, seeing Xiaosuisui staring motionlessly at a pile of materials.

"I’m missing one material to set up the Array," Xiaosuisui said.

"What are you missing?"

"According to the records in the Kaleidoscope, for the Dragon-Locking Array of the final gate of the Array of Heaven, we need a Dragon Bone to establish the Cyan Dragon position."

"A Dragon Bone?" Ji Youzhi was aghast. "Who on the entire Continent has ever heard of a Dragon Bone? Where are we supposed to find one?" He felt extremely troubled.

But Xiaosuisui had thought of a solution. "I’ll go ask my Eldest Maternal Uncle in the Dream Realm first to see if he has one."

Ji Youzhi nodded. "Then hurry. I’ll stand guard for you. This Fourth Level, will it open on its own when the time comes, like the previous three?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head. "This is the final gate. I’ve read the records; it won’t open by itself. It will only open when the challenger actively steps into the Array Eye!"

"Oh! That’s good. You should go find Eldest Brother in the Dream Realm quickly then!"

Xiaosuisui nodded, then asked Ji Youzhi, "Seventh Uncle, do you want to come in with me? You can catch up with my Eldest Maternal Uncle!"

Ji Youzhi declined Xiaosuisui’s suggestion. "No, I must guard you. Although there’s no one else here but us, this is still an unfamiliar place. If any problem arises, I can wake you up in time."

Hearing his words, Xiaosuisui subconsciously clutched her small head, a helpless look on her face. "Seventh Uncle, when you wake me up, can you please not shake me so forcefully? My head aches!"

Seeing her scratching her head, Ji Youzhi also scratched his own. He looked utterly clueless as he said, "I was just afraid you wouldn’t feel it and wouldn’t wake up, wasn’t I?"

Xiaosuisui pouted. "You just need to shake me a little. Once I feel it, I’ll come out myself."

After she finished speaking, Xiaosuisui immediately sat down cross-legged and entered the Dream Realm.

「Ji Mansion」

Ji Youyuan was having a meal with Wang Dongxue. He had personally ladled a bowl of soup and was about to feed it to her when, just as the spoon neared Wang Dongxue’s lips, he suddenly slumped over and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Dongxue was shocked and called out "Husband!" a few times. Then she sent someone to find Ji Youran.

At that moment, Ji Youran was also having a meal. Today, he had finally managed to get Huo Xing’Er to join him. After begging and nagging for a whole morning, he had finally convinced the frustrated Huo Xing’Er to have lunch with him.

However, just as he was all smiles, trying to please Huo Xing’Er by offering her a bowl of soup and intending to feed it to her himself, a servant’s panicked voice came from outside.

"This is terrible, Second Young Master! Help! The Eldest Young Master has fainted again!"

Ji Youran paused. He really felt like flipping the table!

"What happened to Eldest Brother?" he asked the servant who had come to fetch him, his voice tight with irritation.

"Eldest Young Master... he was eating just fine a moment ago, but then he suddenly fainted! The... Eldest Madam is terrified. Second Young Master, please go and have a look!"

The anxious servant rushed over and practically dragged Ji Youran towards Ji Youyuan’s courtyard.

Ji Youran was furious. "Fainting, fainting, fainting! He faints all day for no reason, always ruining my plans!" Furious, grumbling, and exasperated, Ji Youran headed to Ji Youyuan and Wang Dongxue’s courtyard.

By this time, Ji Youyuan had been carried to the bed. Wang Dongxue had taken his pulse and suspected he had been pulled into Xiaosuisui’s Dream Realm again. However, a suspicion was just that. After all, she wasn’t Ji Youran and knew nothing of Medical Skills, so she was still worried.

"Second Brother, you’re finally here!" Wang Dongxue exclaimed with relief. "Please check on your Eldest Brother. Was he pulled into Xiaosuisui’s Dream Realm again?"

Hearing her words, Ji Youran involuntarily smacked his forehead. That Xiaosuisui! Always pulling people in at the worst times, always spoiling my fun. When I get a chance, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson!

After checking his pulse and confirming Ji Youyuan was merely asleep, Ji Youran grew even more irritated. A perfectly good meal, ruined just like that. He blamed Xiaosuisui for everything.

"Well?" Wang Dongxue asked anxiously. "Is your Eldest Brother just asleep again?"

Ji Youran nodded resignedly. "Yes, Eldest Brother is just sleeping normally. It seems he was pulled into Xiaosuisui’s so-called Dream Realm. Eldest Sister-in-law, there’s nothing to worry about."

"That’s good then! I wonder what kind of problem Xiaosuisui has encountered this time to pull your Eldest Brother into the Dream Realm."

Hearing her words, Ji Youran touched his nose. He momentarily forgot about wanting to settle accounts with Xiaosuisui and instead began to worry as well.

What on earth could that little girl have run into? Pulling Eldest Brother into the Dream Realm repeatedly... I hope she hasn’t encountered some insurmountable problem!

In truth, the problem Xiaosuisui was facing was indeed something Ji Youyuan couldn’t solve.

"A Dragon Bone?"

In the Dream Realm, upon hearing what Xiaosuisui said, Ji Youyuan was completely astonished. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at his precious niece before him.

"Yes! According to the records of various magic arrays in the Kaleidoscope given to me by my Maternal Grandfather, this Array of Heaven isn’t a single array. It’s formed by the Vermilion Bird, Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, representing the four cardinal directions and simultaneously locking down the Spiritual Qi from these positions. Therefore, the Dragon-Locking Array of the final gate in each direction requires the bones and souls, or the actual bodies, of these four Divine Beasts as the Array Eye to be successfully established!"

As Xiaosuisui said this, Ji Youyuan’s eyes blinked involuntarily.

"If you want to break through these four Arrays of Heaven, you’ll first have to find the bones of these four Divine Beasts. Let alone the others, just finding the Vermilion Bird will be incredibly difficult."

Xiaosuisui was troubled. Her small shoulders slumped, and she squatted down, listlessly drawing circles on the ground. Then what should we do? Does this mean Seventh Uncle and I will be trapped here forever, unable to return?
