Mu Zhi lay on the hospital bed, feeling drowsy after taking her medication.
She seemed to dream of many years ago, when she was not even ten years old...
Her mother’s Beast Husband’s Spiritual Sea had issues and was shot dead on the spot because he injured someone.
From that day on, her mother had nightmares and mumbled to herself.
"I didn’t mean it..."
"I didn’t want to kill you!"
She was still young and had no idea about her mother’s nightmares or what her mother’s mutterings meant.
Later, when she was eighteen, another of her mother’s Beast Husbands had issues again, and he was directly taken away by the Female Protection Association.
Her mother cried so sorrowfully then...
Everyone thought it was an accident, but she inexplicably recalled her mother’s dreams from back then.
This kept bothering her until she turned twenty, when she needed to find a match and move out to live independently, and she finally couldn’t help but ask her mother.
Her mother gazed at her for a long time and then smiled.
Her mother asked if she also wanted to learn this method.
Her mind buzzed, and she immediately denied her mother’s insinuation! She wasn’t like that! She just wanted to resolve her inner doubts!
But her mother still taught her how to covertly attack the Spiritual Sea without being easily detected by the owner.
Her mother said, "You are grown up now, and will have your own Beast Husband. If you meet one you really dislike in the future, you can try this method."
"I would never do that!" Back then, she had answered her mother with such certainty.
But... Mu Zhi never thought she would actually try this method!
When Esie exposed her, she was terrified, as if her worst side had been dragged out into the sunlight!
She was scared, felt guilty, and blamed herself...
She even thought that her premature delivery was perhaps karma?
She really hadn’t meant for things to be this way!
She just wanted Dean’s Spiritual Sea to have some issues, so she could hint to the Female Protection Association, making them believe Dean was sick, allowing her to divorce smoothly without any problems.
But it was her first time doing something like this, and she didn’t know the limits.
It was all Dean’s fault for being so good at hiding and enduring, making her think Dean was fine, thus intensifying the stimulation to Dean’s Spiritual Sea...
Mu Zhi felt ashamed and worried that Esie would come after her...
Would Esie use this secret against her in the future? Such a madman, would he really keep his promise not to tell anyone? What if he tells Garrett about it?
So, Mu Zhi just wanted to leave this place quickly and be far away from Esie! Garrett, being Country A’s royal nobility, should be able to protect herself. Once she left Flower Country, she wouldn’t have to worry about Esie threatening her!
She wouldn’t use that method again in the future...
Then, her dreams shifted, and Dean stood before her covered in blood, with no good flesh left on his body...
Dean stared at her in despair, screaming at her, "Why! Why are you doing this to me! I carefully served you every day, why did you harm me!"
"Mu Zhi! I won’t let you go even as a ghost!"
Dean’s sinister gaze was like it would carve into her brain, and no matter how she tried to beat it away, Dean’s ghastly appearance wouldn’t fade from her sight! Like a death-reaping demon!
She knew she was dreaming, but couldn’t escape the horrific dream...
Mu Zhi shouted in her dream:
It’s not my fault! Clearly, it was Esie who wanted to torture you!
I know I was wrong, but I really didn’t want you dead!
Even if you become a ghost seeking revenge, you should find Esie!
She didn’t know how long it had been when her belly started twitching with pain, waking her up suddenly.
As Mu Zhi opened her eyes, she realized someone else was there!
"Zor... Why are you here?"
Mu Zhi looked at Zor vigilantly, regaining her composure slightly.
"I just... did I..."
"Mu Zhi sis, did you have a nightmare?" Zor took the initiative to speak, "I just saw you sweating all over and moving around!"
She looked at Mu Zhi with concern, "Aren’t you a C-section patient? Is your wound okay?"
Mu Zhi’s face turned pale, "Yes, I had a nightmare..."
"Zor, I didn’t say anything in my dream, did I?" She looked at Zor.
"No," Zor shook her head, "Mu Zhi sis, how are you?"
Mu Zhi felt severe pain at her wound, "Zor, I seem to have strained my wound. Could you help me call a doctor?"
"Sure! Mu Zhi sis, you wait; I’ll go right now!" Zor quickly left the hospital room...
She leaned against the wall, patting her chest, her back already drenched in cold sweat!
Heavens know what she just heard in the hospital room!
Something about not doing it on purpose, telling Dean not to retaliate...
Wasn’t Mu Zhi’s Beast Husband taken away because his Spiritual Sea had issues?
Mu Zhi’s pile of dream talk... does it mean Dean’s issues were because of her?
Zor recalled Mu Zhi’s gaze towards her after waking up, the terror mixed with a hint of panic, and asking if she’d heard anything!
If not for being guilty, would Mu Zhi need to ask her specifically?
Was Mu Zhi so ruthless she even wanted to harm her own Beast Husband?
Zor thought she wasn’t a particularly good person either, but she’d never acted like Mu Zhi, pretending to be a pure and kind rabbit while secretly making malicious moves!
Fortunately, she was smart enough to admit nothing!
Otherwise, who knows if Mu Zhi would then turn against her!
It’s terrifying, too terrifying! Nobles don’t take lives seriously, talking about killing just like that, without fear of investigation!
Now, the pure and kind Mu Zhi she thought turned out to be a venomous female plotting against her own husband!
If she had known, she wouldn’t have come! Wasn’t it better to stay home with her match?
She just thought since Mu Zhi had a royal boyfriend now, if she got along well with Mu Zhi, perhaps Mu Zhi would introduce her to some excellent males in the future!
She even considered copying Mu Zhi’s style, catching Garrett’s eye; what if Garrett thought she was better than Mu Zhi? Mu Zhi had so many Beast Husbands, and she didn’t have one yet!
But now, she’s dismissed all those thoughts! None of them are easy to deal with!
It’s said that people who know too many secrets are easily silenced; what if Mu Zhi doesn’t believe her and wants to silence her?
She barely escaped Guan Heng, and now here comes Mu Zhi!
Zor calmed her emotions, tearfully helping Mu Zhi find a doctor.
Later, she heard the news that Mu Zhi would soon leave with Garrett to Country A, and Zor was overjoyed to tears!
Finally! After hearing Mu Zhi’s dream talk, she didn’t dare to contact Mu Zhi frequently!
But suddenly cutting off contact, she was afraid Mu Zhi would suspect her!
Now it’s fine, Mu Zhi is moving away!
Oh, and Yu Man is moving too!
This way, she doesn’t have to fear running into Guan Heng when going out!
Her life is saved!
