The enthusiasm and simplicity of the villagers melted Wutan's long-frozen heart, and he began to gradually integrate into this illusory yet extremely real village.
Walking to the door of 'home', with a creak, the door was opened. The room was simply furnished, but looking at everything familiar, the feeling of home immediately filled Wutan's heart.
"Tian'er, go wash up and get rid of the bad luck on your body. Yi Yan, go cook some good dishes. Hu Xiaozi, go get some good wine. Tonight, the three of us, grandfather and grandson, must have a few drinks together," Long Shan said with a smile.
"OK."
Hearing this, Chu Yiyan and Long Hu smiled, turned around and left, each going back to their own work.
After a simple wash, Wutan changed into linen clothes. Overall, he looked less sharp and aggressive than before, and more steady and simple.
The fragrant dishes were soon served on the table. Looking at the dozen or so delicious side dishes on the table, Wutan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chu Yiyan in real life might not be able to cook!
"Tian'er, come and eat more. You've lost a lot of weight these days."
The four of them sat around the table. Longshan kept picking up food for Wutan, and the bowl in front of him was full.
Wutan looked at his grandfather's caring expression and felt deeply moved. He picked up a piece of meat, put it in the bowl in front of him, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are not in good health, so you should eat more."
"Grandpa Long, you are a little biased. Although I am not your biological grandson, I have always treated you as my real grandfather. Why don't you pick any food for me and always take care of Wutan?" Long Hu said dissatisfiedly.
"Little bastard, when has Grandpa Long ever treated you badly?" Long Shan knocked him on the head with chopsticks, his face darkening as he said, "A few days ago, you secretly took the little rabbit that Yi Yan raised outside and roasted it. Do you think I don't know?"
"hehe…"
Long Hu shook his head, looking embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "So you knew about this, I thought I did it without anyone noticing!"
"You little bastard, if you dare to steal food or harm the animals your sister-in-law raises again, Grandpa Long will beat your butt to pieces." Long Shan warned, but his face was full of smiles.
"Grandpa, stop chatting. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold," Chu Yiyan said with a smile.
At this moment, Chu Yiyan has lost all her previous halo and glory. She is no different from other women in the village, just an ordinary woman who protects her family.
The family was having a great time, talking and laughing, filled with happiness and warmth. Wutan's sense of belonging became stronger and stronger. This was the life he really wanted in his heart. Until this moment, he finally let go of all the constraints and shackles in reality and integrated into this warm home.
In the Star Realm, led by Xiao Wuhao, Shishi and others stood on both sides, looking at the scene in the void in front of them, all with worried and complicated expressions.
At the same time, he was extremely afraid of the king-level illusion ban. The illusion he created was actually no different from the real thing. Even Wutan couldn't help but sink into it.
"What on earth is Brother Tian doing? Why does he look so indifferent? Has he really not realized that this is just an illusory world? He is still in the mood to drink. He is not anxious, but I am almost dying of anxiety."
Zhang Ting was extremely anxious. If he continued, Wutan would end up being shattered and buried in the illusion.
"Actually, this can't be blamed on brother. The people and scenes manifested by the king-level illusion ban are all the biggest weaknesses and wounds in brother's heart. It is natural for him to sink into them," Shishi murmured.
Lan Miaomiao sighed, "Those involved are often confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see clearly. We are outsiders, so we can see at a glance that everything is illusory. Wu Tian is in it, so he doesn't think so. What's more, these people and things are what he desires in his heart. If it were us, I'm afraid we would do the same!"
"I have to say, Chu Yiyan is really beautiful. Any man who sees her will go crazy for her. No wonder the ruthless and cold Wutan is so fascinated by her!" Xiao Qianshuang thought she was beautiful and incomparable to ordinary women, but when facing the woman in the picture, she had to feel inferior.
"But Master can't continue like this, otherwise it will be really dangerous. Uncle Wuhao, do you have any way to make Master wake up?" Luo Qiang looked worried and asked little Wuhao for help.
"Don't worry, your master's willpower is incomparable to that of ordinary people. He has not really fallen. He just wants to enjoy the warmth that is about to fade away. If he really falls, I will take action. In addition, don't you think Wu Tian is very cute now?"
"Hehe!" After saying that, Xiao Wuhao smiled evilly, his figure flashed, and he quickly flew towards the scorching sun in the sky.
"cute?"
Everyone shook their heads and laughed. It seemed that the word "cute" had nothing to do with Wutan. However, they had to admit that the current Wutan was indeed much more ordinary and friendly than before. He had a restrained aura, like a sword covered in dust.
…
In a fantasy!
After eating and drinking, the sky had gradually darkened. After Wu Tian accompanied Chu Yiyan to clean up the dishes, he wanted to chat with his grandfather for a while, but the old man was eager to have a grandson and directly sent them into the bedroom.
Now Wu Tian was in a dilemma. In the illusion, the two were husband and wife, sleeping on the same pillow, so it was natural for them to have sex.
To be honest, the Chu Yiyan in the illusion and the Chu Yiyan in reality are no different at all, even their stubbornness, smiles, and every move are extremely similar, but Wutan still can't accept it in his heart. Looking at the woman in front of him who is tidying up the bedding, he feels melancholy and sad!
"Yi Yan, can you go for a walk with me?"
Chu Yiyan heard this, stopped what she was doing, turned around and smiled: "Where are you going?"
"Come with me," Wutan grabbed her hand, quietly walked out of the room and headed towards the back mountain.
There had not been much change on the top of the mountain at the back. The bluestone on the cliff that was torn apart by the sound waves of the blood-sucking insects still existed. Wutan walked all the way, looking at this familiar scene, and images in his mind kept flashing.
Wutan took Chu Yiyan and sat on the bluestone at the edge of the cliff. They leaned against each other and looked up at the night sky, feeling deeply moved.
If I had not been careless and stayed here until midnight, I would not have encountered the blood-sucking insects, nor would I have subdued the little guy by some strange coincidence, and I would not have picked up the Jueyin Order. The series of tragedies that followed would naturally not have happened.
It can be said that this place was a turning point in his life.
"Yi Yan, do you know why I brought you here?"
Chu Yiyan didn't answer, just shook his head.
"Because this place changed the destiny of my life. If I hadn't come here that night, I might still be a poor guy who works out desperately to strengthen his body!"
Wu Tian looked up at the starry sky, and the memories that had been hidden came flooding back like a tide. The emotions in his eyes kept changing like turning pages of a book, sometimes painful, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes blessed...
"Although I now have a prominent position and great strength, it can't bring me the life I want or the people I want to meet. Sometimes I even wonder, what is the point of a person practicing hard
If time could go back, I would rather be an ordinary person for the rest of my life than embark on the path of cultivation. It would be so much better to live a plain, peaceful, and worry-free life with my beloved."
Chu Yiyan raised her head and stared at the man in front of her. She could see the melancholy in his eyes and face, as if he had endless worries in his heart but couldn't find a suitable person to talk to. She sighed softly and said, "Can you tell me the story between you and her?"
"Huh?" Wutan looked at him puzzledly.
Chu Yiyan smiled brightly: "Don't be surprised, although I am just a crystallization of an illusion, I have my own thoughts and consciousness. Moreover, I have seen from the beginning that you are not blinded by the illusion here, but you just stayed because of your inner desire, wanting to find the long-lost warmth."
Wutan looked at 'Chu Yiyan', whose eyes were clear and bright, and whose expression was ethereal and moving. The only regret was that it was not the real person, but just an illusion.
"Oh!" Yu sighed in his heart, Wutan said lightly: "Since you already know everything, why do you still accompany me here and listen to my boring words."
"It's not that I have to come, but because I can't refuse."
Chu Yiyan looked away, looked into the distance and said softly: "This illusory world is manifested according to the desires deep in your heart, which includes me. Although I am not the real Chu Yiyan, I have her true feelings and love for you. So, if I reject you, I will feel inexplicably heartbroken."
“Buzz!”
She actually felt heartbroken. Wu Tian was struck by lightning, his head buzzing. Not only did he have feelings for a person who was created by an illusion ban, but he also felt inexplicably heartbroken because the person rejected his request. Was this really just an illusion ban
Oh my God! What did I do wrong to deserve this
Wu Tian cried out in his heart.
This was completely beyond his expectations. He originally thought that this 'Chu Yiyan' was just a person without emotions, and that he catered to him just to keep him in the illusion confinement.
For a person without emotions, he closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and had the heart to destroy him.
However, she is a flesh-and-blood person with emotions towards him. Even though such a Chu Yiyan is fake, Wu Tian asked himself, can he really do that to her
"You don't need to think so much, just do what your heart desires. As for me... hehe, I will disappear sooner or later. This is a destined fact and no one can change it," Chu Yiyan said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Yes, when I am wiped out by the illusion, everything here will disappear with it. Why bother thinking so much? Illusions are always illusions. No matter how hard you try, you can't change anything. Since you can't change it, why bother clinging to it?"
After figuring this out, Wutan finally let it go, and then slowly poured out everything that had happened between him and Chu Yiyan.

I recommend two books: the fantasy masterpiece of the fifth smoke ring (Alone in the Sky) and the urban masterpiece of the son (The Temptation of the School Beauty)
