Chapter 434: The Dream
Listening to Chen Heng"s words, Yang Ke sighed. She didn"t know what to say.
Being born in a big family had many benefits, as one could enjoy many things that ordinary people couldn"t throughout their entire life. However, they have more restrictions and pressure in other aspects simultaneously, just like Yang Ke.
Although she didn"t expressly say it, Chen Heng could still feel the heavy pressure.
Compared to ordinary people, partic.i.p.ating in the league was a great honor. It was already a huge honor as long as they could partic.i.p.ate. However, for someone like Yang Ke, merely partic.i.p.ating wasn"t enough. They needed more things.
People like Yang Ke needed to prove themselves with victories to pave their future paths and be able to walk more smoothly. And these are all heavy pressures.
She looked normal at this moment, but she was covered in scars underneath her clothes. Recently, she had constantly been fighting, crazily honing her strength, to further increase her strength to reach a stronger level. Her originally intact body was covered in wounds under such crazy training.
Of course, this was nothing in Chen Heng"s opinion.
Being born in a notable family, there might be helplessness and pressure on many occasions. However, it would be bullsh*t if he said he would rather be born in an ordinary family than a notable family. At least, if Chen Heng had to choose for himself, he would rather spend more simulation points to make his family background better.
The extra pressure seemed insignificant compared to a good family background"s benefits. If someone couldn"t stand it and felt that it was worse than the life of an ordinary person, they must be an idiot.
Yet in Dragon City Academy, where the elites of this world were gathered, there should be quite a lot of such id*ots.
"If I could... I want to be an ordinary person..."
A sigh sounded in Chen Heng"s ear. Chen Heng turned around somewhat numbly and saw Yang Ke sitting beside him, and he sighed too. Chen Heng"s mouth could not help but give a slight twitch, as he did not know what to say. He didn"t expect that there was such a person, and she was right beside him.
"Maybe."
Chen Heng revealed a smile on his face, looking very gentle, and he said softly, "If you were just an ordinary person born in an ordinary family, you might not have so much pressure now..."
His expression did not change though he said this against his heart. No matter what he thought in his heart, at least he had to agree with what he should agree with. Otherwise, they might not be able to be friends anymore. At the very least, there was no need to argue and correct her point of view.
There were things that one would never be able to imagine if one did not experience it personally and feel its bitterness. Therefore, it was sometimes meaningless to argue about these things, just adding trouble.
"If I were just an ordinary, talented Beastmaster, like the others, I might be able to live a much happier life..."
Yang Ke had a complicated expression on her face, and she quietly leaned to the side, as she seemed to be a little tired.
"At least, these worries should no longer exist..."
Chen Heng did not reply, as he did not agree in his heart. People in different positions often had their worries. Perhaps in Yang Ke"s position, her worries were troubling her.
However, if she was asked to change her position and become an ordinary person, her worries would disappear, but the troubles that she would face would probably be even more deadly. Of course, Chen Heng was not prepared to say anything about this. He just sat there quietly and looked at her.
Under the faint sunlight, Chen Heng"s looked very handsome, and his appearance and temperament became more exquisite. At this moment, he was sitting there like a landscape, making people look at him unconsciously from the side.
During this period, under the nourishment of the divine power and killing power, his life essence began to transform, gradually rising to a higher level. As a result, his body had also undergone some changes, and his appearance had been slightly fine-tuned. Of course, the most important thing was still the influence of the true spirit.
After so many traverses, Chen Heng discovered that the influence of the true spirit and the body is reciprocal.
The true spirit would influence the body, while the body would also affect the existence of the true spirit, the interaction between the two was complicatedly intertwined.
After the traverses, his overly powerful true spirit would affect the body, making the body invisibly close to the true spirit"s nature.
Therefore, no matter at any time, whether it was his incarnation or simulation, his appearance, temperament, and even aura would all invisibly move and gradually become closer to an existence. This was a small discovery made by Chen Heng, and he felt the same now.
Compared to the past, this body had a good foundation. With the blessing of the true spirit, it became even more extraordinary now. Both his appearance and temperament was top-notched.
Sitting with Yang Ke, they looked like a beautiful landscape, particularly eye-catching.
A faint gleam of light shone, and the sunlight gradually faded.
Unwittingly, Yang Ke leaned to the side, almost lying on Chen Heng"s body. She looked a little sleepy, and her eyes were half-closed.
Chen Heng hesitated for a moment but then gently stroked, smoothed out the hair on her head, and placed it on her forehead. Yang Ke slowly closed her eyes and lay in Chen Heng"s arms. A slight smile appeared on her face where no one could not see it.
After a long while, she slowly woke up and broke free from Chen Heng"s arms.
"I"m sorry..."
Getting up from Chen Heng"s arms, she looked normal, as if nothing had happened, and just apologized, "I fell asleep without knowing..."
"It"s okay..."
Chen Heng smiled. His face was as gentle as before, making people feel calm and comfortable. "Take some rest. Otherwise, it won"t be great if something goes wrong with your body later..."
"Okay..."
She slightly nodded, and she didn"t say anything else.
A gentle breeze blew, and everything seemed as calm and natural as before. It was almost dusk, and the two of them packed their luggage and left.
Their relations.h.i.+p seemed to have undergone some subtle changes from that day onward, and they became closer to each other.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
Pieces of debris flashed past in the dark, appearing extremely mysterious and strange. Amid the darkness, a black shadow was striding forward step by step. He came from afar and arrived at a familiar street.
Then, the flames erupted, and the destructive aura covered the entire area. Everything was destroyed, leaving only the remains under the flames. There were also familiar corpses.
"No!"
A series of shouts sounded. It was a dream. Lu Yao suddenly woke up.
"It"s this dream again!"
She sat at the bedside, gasping for breath. Her body was full of sweat, even her pajamas were wet, and the outline of her body could be vaguely seen.
However, she didn"t seem to care and just looked at the surroundings, trying to recall what she had dreamt. She was still in lingering fear.
In front of her was a familiar room, which was also the main scene of the dream.
