A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 232: Painful

The guards and their families all respected Qiqi and her family. They even addressed Qiqi's parents as "Master Jiang" and "Mrs. Jiang," which made the old couple feel embarrassed.

When it came time to exchange things, Qiqi's mother always gave extra things to the guards' families. Qiqi's parents now had an old sow for lambing and a lot of sheep, and they exchanged a few of the lambs for them, as if handing them over to someone else. The guards' families were delighted and bowed to express their gratitude.

Qiqi hadn't been in the valley these days. He'd received a letter from Liu Junyang, saying his father had been feeling unwell lately, suffering from nightmares. He'd have nightmares as soon as he fell asleep, and sometimes they'd startle him awake. When asked what was wrong, his father couldn't explain. He couldn't remember anything about his dreams. He simply couldn't sleep, tormenting him terribly.

In desperation, Liu Junyang wrote to Qiqi, asking her to go see his father and find out what was wrong. He was so afraid to sleep that he was collapsing. Liu Junyang watched his father gradually lose weight, his eye sockets sunken. He felt very distressed.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze didn't bring anyone with them, and they teleported away, arriving at the Yongning Kingdom's palace in just one day.

Liu Junyang had been attending court on his father's behalf for the past few days, handling state affairs. When Qiqi and the others arrived, Liu Junyang had just finished court and returned to his father's palace.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze walked into the palace, and Liu Junyang saw them.

"Qiqi, Jingze, you are here. Come in and see father." Liu Junyang said.

Qiqi also saw her father sitting at the head of the bed. His eye sockets were sunken, and the area around his eyes was dark. He hadn't slept for several days.

"Father, what's wrong with you? How did you become like this?" Qiqi felt distressed and reached out to feel her father's pulse.

"Qiqi, you are here. I didn't let Junyang tell you because you have your own things to do." The old emperor said weakly.

"Father, stop talking. Let me see what's wrong with you."

Zhou Jingze also saw the old emperor like this, and he felt sorry for him. But he couldn't help. He just waited for Qiqi to come and treat him.

Qiqi felt her father's pulse for a long time but could not find any problem. There was nothing wrong with his body.

Qiqi shook her head at Liu Junyang. "Father, there's nothing wrong. Could you tell me what's going on?"

"Qiqi, I don't know either. I just fell asleep and broke out in cold sweats. Junyang said I was shouting. People in the palace said so too. I don't dare to sleep from the bottom of my heart. This kind of situation won't happen if I don't sleep. It's as if I am subconsciously avoiding something. This kind of thing won't happen if I don't sleep. I may have seen something bad in my dream. But I just can't remember it." The old emperor said breathlessly.

Qiqi saw that her father's lack of sleep had affected his heart. He would always collapse.

Qiqi ordered everyone in the palace to leave while she treated her father. She left Liu Junyang behind. Qiqi prepared some sleeping pills for her father to take. Soon, the old emperor fell asleep, without any further dancing or gesticulation.

Qiqi told Liu Junyang and Zhou Jingze. "Father might have seen a terrifying scene in his dream. He probably has the same dream every time he falls asleep. He's subconsciously afraid of sleeping. The people in the dream must be his closest relatives," Qiqi analyzed.

"Qiqi, what should we do? We can't always take medicine." Liu Junyang asked.

"Let me think about it. I can't figure out how to treat it for now. Let father take this medicine first. Let her fall asleep every night first. Brother Junyang, I will go back and discuss father's matter with Master. See if he has any way to treat it." Qiqi said to Liu Junyang.

"Okay, Qiqi, go back and be careful. I won't see you off. I'll stay here to guard Father. I'm afraid he'll still scream loudly."

"Okay, then we'll go first. I'll come back when I find a solution." After Qiqi said that, she and Zhou Jingze teleported out of the palace.

Liu Junyang saw that Qiqi and the others must have made another breakthrough. Oh, I wish I could cultivate so quickly with them.

Qiqi told Zhou Jingze on the way. "Brother Jingze, I'm planning to use my soul to travel through my father's dream. I'm not sure, so I came back to discuss it with Master to see if this method will work."

"Qiqi, I don't agree with you doing this without being sure. You are not yourself, you have children and parents, as well as me and my brothers. We are all your responsibility. You can't abandon us." Zhou Jingze stopped holding Qiqi's hand and said.

"Brother Jingze, don't worry, I will carry it out when I am sure. My family is more important than anyone else. Let's go back." Qiqi held Zhou Jingze's hand to comfort him.

They soon returned to Lingxiao Sect, and Qiqi went to the ninth floor of Linglong Tower.

"Master, I'm here. I want to ask you something." Qiqi recounted everything about the Yongning Emperor. Lingxuzi pondered for a moment and then said the same thing. The old emperor had witnessed the suffering of his loved ones. The images appeared as soon as he fell asleep. He thought that if he didn't sleep, his loved ones wouldn't experience such scenes.

"Master, what kind of dream did Father have that caused him so much pain? Subconsciously, he is afraid to sleep. Master, isn't this a nightmare?"

"Qiqi, this is not a nightmare. This should be a re-enactment. It should be about the person he loves the most. He will forget everything after waking up." Ling Xuzi said.

Qiqi told her master about her desire to enter her father's dream to see what he dreamed about. Then she would solve this problem.

"Qiqi, you can enter his dream, but it is dangerous. Are you sure you want to do this?" Ling Xuzi asked.

"Master, I am sure to do this. The emperor is like my biological father. I must save him." Qiqi said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll go with you and protect you. Go and discuss it with Zhou Jingze and see if he agrees. Then come and ask me to go with you." Ling Xuzi said.

"Okay, Master, thank you, I'll be back in a moment." Qiqi said and walked out of Linglong Tower.

Zhou Jingze was standing outside Linglong Tower waiting for her.

"Brother Jingze, Master has promised to help me. I won't hide it from you. Master said it's a little dangerous, but I have to save my father. If I don't save him and he's in danger, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"Okay, Qiqi, I'll accompany you. I agree. I'll go through fire and water with you. You must promise me that I'll enter the dream with you." Zhou Jingze said firmly, holding Qiqi's hand.

"Brother Jingze, I know you will agree, and I also know that on the basis of your agreement, you have to accompany me into father's dream. I agree. Let's save father together." Qiqi said firmly.
