Cave Refuge

As Dong Tianyu gently nibbled off a piece of fruit from his perspective, Dong Tianyu, observing himself through Divine Sense, discovered that another nerve in his body had suffered slight damage.

The scenes observed from both perspectives simultaneously appeared in Dong Tianyu's mind, an experience that was new to him as well.

However, after this attempt, Dong Tianyu had realized that what he saw was not only an illusion but also likely under the control of some creature. Those fruits on the living room tea table, emitting a tempting fruity aroma, were actually different organs from within his own body.

Although he did not know how the other party managed to do this, as long as Dong Tianyu actively ate those fruits on the tea table, his internal organs would suffer varying degrees of damage.

Having confirmed this situation, Dong Tianyu finally began to search for a way to escape this predicament, which very much resembled being caught in a lucid dream like in movies, discarding the idea of eating the fruit on the table that would harm his internal organs. This was, in fact, no different from the lucid dreams in movies.

Lucid dreams are a form of hypnosis, generally used on others, but if applied to oneself during sleep, there's a great chance of entering a lucid dream.

To put it simply, a lucid dream is a state where one can freely control their dream after falling deep asleep. Mastering lucid dreams is also akin to extending one's lifespan.

However, whether one can successfully enter a lucid dream is something only they would know; outsiders have no precise means of investigation. Therefore, many people claim to be able to enter lucid dreams at will, but the truth cannot be known by others.

Although Dong Tianyu had reached the Golden Core Stage of his cultivation level, he had just heard about lucid dreams and had not actually tried them. This special experience allowed him to experience one personally.

Even though Dong Tianyu knew he was in a lucid dream, he did not know how to leave it.

So, Dong Tianyu in the dream first put the fruit, which emitted an enticing aroma, back on the living room tea table. Then, with great determination, he walked from the fruit-scented living room to the doorway and attempted to open the door.

To Dong Tianyu's surprise, the door he thought could likely not be opened was easily pushed open by him. After opening the door, he saw the courtyard outside, filled with lush, green ornamental plants.

Beyond that, there was a small gazebo corridor in the courtyard, completely covered by grapevines. At this moment, the vines bore large, crystal-clear grapes that hung like amethysts, densely arrayed and dangling within the gazebo, easily plucked with an outstretched hand.

The present scene in the garden seemed to perfectly match the most beautiful courtyard Dong Tianyu had envisioned in his mind, but this perfect match only intensified the surreal feeling in his heart.

Compared to the intoxicatingly beautiful courtyard, the world outside the wall was extremely blurry. Although Dong Tianyu remembered the outside being quite ordinary upon arrival, he now looked up to find the view outside the courtyard enveloped in a fog, hazy and difficult to look at directly.

Seeing this situation, Dong Tianyu understood instantly. Although he had not gone to the second floor, its situation was probably like that of the inside and the ground floor, all thoroughly transformed as if the lucid dream could only evolve the inside of the villa.

The exterior view had inexplicably not transformed, perhaps not wanting Dong Tianyu to see the stark contrast between the ordinary outside world and the meticulously arranged interior. Thus, it could only use a shrouded fog to collaborate with Dong Tianyu's subconscious, coaxing him to subconsciously ignore the outside.

Although this method of concealment had been employed, the air inside was very fresh, while the outside was completely shrouded in fog. Just separated by a wall, any sane person would know there was something fishy about this.

Dong Tianyu's reaction was no different; now that he knew the problem, he walked straight to the courtyard gate and tried to open it.

Compared to the easily opened room door, the courtyard gate was as if rusted shut, and no matter how much Dong Tianyu tried, it would not budge as if welded to the ground.

Just as Dong Tianyu was about to forcefully dismantle it, the previously closed room door suddenly opened. Walker Violet, clad in an enticing maid's outfit, stepped out from the room. Before she could speak, Jasmine Anderson, dressed in a dark Lolita-style, leaned halfway out of the door, about to speak.

Then a 'crack' was heard near Dong Tianyu's wrist; he had used too much force and had wrenched the courtyard door open.

As the courtyard door was forcibly opened, the originally verdant scene began to disappear like blown away sand art, bit by bit. As the view of the courtyard completely vanished, both Walker Violet standing at the villa's entrance and Jasmine Anderson, who had been half-emerging from the door, also began to slowly fade.

In the blink of an eye, whether it was the lush view of the courtyard or the exquisitely luxurious interior decoration of the house, all began to dissipate like fly ash in the air.
