The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 41 Forget about princes and generals, I just want to save this little girl.

As dawn broke, everyone except Wen Li and Shen Yingsi showed signs of gradually waking up. Meanwhile, the Second Master, who was lying beside Wen Li, kept barking among them.

Si Xiaxia was terrified. The others' breathing, initially erratic, eventually became steady. Only the host and Shen Yingsi slept more and more heavily, their breathing even becoming weak. If this continued, they really would die silently in their dreams!

The Dream Demon is not a particularly powerful demon, but it is a deadly poison to those who are determined to die.

It will pull you back to your most broken and desperate moment, intertwining dreams and reality, so that death in dreams will become death in reality.

Time slowly passed as Si Xiaxia waited anxiously.

Wen Mingzhu was the first to wake up, still somewhat dazed by the sound of dogs barking beside her. She looked around in confusion, the scenes from her dream still vivid in her mind.

Perhaps she had been thinking too much these past few days, otherwise she wouldn't have dreamt of those random things.

Next to wake up was Zhao Sicheng. In the first half of the dream, he dreamed of his sister, who died again in the dream.

Zhao Sicheng looked up at the sky, pinpointing the location of the blazing sun.

"It's already noon, how could you have slept for so long!"

"Are Fourth Brother and the others still asleep? Should we wake them up?" Wen Mingzhu looked at Shen Yingsi, who was still asleep, with some concern.

Second Master ran up to her and bit the hem of her clothes, pulling her towards Wen Li.

“Okay. You call Wen Li, and I'll call Fourth Brother and Xie Xiao.”

Zhao Sicheng walked straight to Shen Yingsi's side: "Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother! Wake up!"

Zhao Sicheng called out for a long time before realizing something was wrong. He checked Shen Yingsi's breathing with his hand, repeatedly confirming it before abruptly withdrawing his hand.

"Mingzhu! Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, something seems wrong! His breathing is so weak it's almost gone."

Wen Mingzhu turned around and met Zhao Sicheng's gaze, her face full of panic: "Wen Li, Wen Li too!"

Zhao Sicheng looked around and said, "Wake Xie Xiao up first."

Zhao Sicheng came to Xie Xiao's side and first reached out to check his breathing. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with his breathing.

"Thank you, Xiao! Thank you!"

Xie Xiao suddenly woke up with a start, his eyes widened, and he instantly grabbed Zhao Sicheng's neck, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Xie Xiao, what are you doing!"

Wen Mingzhu quickly ran over and grabbed him. After Xie Xiao realized that the person in front of him was not the one from his dream, the murderous intent in his eyes dissipated. He let go of her hand and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I had a nightmare."

Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him, Xie Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know what's wrong with Fourth Brother and Wen Li, we can't wake them up no matter what we do. The key thing is that their breathing is gradually weakening!"

"what!"

Xie Xiao hurriedly went to Shen Yingsi's side and reached out to check his breath. His breath was so weak that it was no different from that of a dying man.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Wake up!"

"Can you smell anything?" Zhao Sicheng asked.

Upon hearing this, the group tried their best to detect the scents in the air!

"What a strange fragrance! But it's been here since we stepped in."

"Forget about the incense, quick! We need to take them to find a doctor!" Xie Xiao said.

Xie Xiao immediately carried Shen Yingsi on his back and tried to leave, Zhao Sicheng picked up the Second Master, and Wen Mingzhu also hurriedly pulled Wen Li up.

Before they could even take flight on their swords, a fierce wind swept through the forest! A cloud of black mist was thrown right in front of them.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a dreamlike demon that had not yet taken human form!

The Dream Demon's body was a humanoid mass of black mist, emanating a strong fragrance.

"Spare me, heroes! Spare me! I haven't hurt anyone yet! I'm just a little demon!"

Before the others could figure out what was going on, a woman with a scar on her face flew down from the sky, holding a sword in her hand.

The sword was pointed directly at the Dream Demon on the ground.

The Dream Demon felt wronged. He was just a minor demon; anyone caught in his illusions would awaken if they had even the slightest desire to live. So, all he had done, after years of lurking here, was inflict nightmares.

"This demon... could it be Fourth Brother and the others?!"

Xie Xiao put Shen Yingsi down and drew his sword, pointing it at the Dream Demon on the ground.

"You still say no one was hurt, so why hasn't my fourth brother woken up yet!"

Wen Mingzhu and Xie Xiao also drew their swords and pointed them at the little demon.

"You devil! Wake up my fourth brother right now!"

The Dream Demon was on the verge of tears! Did these demon hunters have no common sense? He was only responsible for drawing out the dream demon in their hearts and then creating an illusion. After that, how could he control whether they lived or died?

If that were true, then all of these people would have been fast asleep long ago!

"Heroes, please spare me! I truly cannot save them. Once they enter the dream, their lives will be in their own hands!"

"If you can't save them, then you should at least pay them back."

The woman's sword pierced the Dream Demon's arm, causing him to howl in pain.

"Waaaaah! I really can't do anything! I'm just a little devil! Waaaaah..."

Even the demon, who has always harmed and hurt people, cried and begged for mercy just like a mortal.

The woman went to Wenli, who was lying by the tree, and checked on her condition.

She never woke up again in less than half an hour.

Wen Mingzhu gripped the Jade Bell Sword tightly in her hand anxiously, waving her hand as if to kill the demon.

Seeing that the sword was about to pierce his forehead, the Dream Demon hurriedly said, "Wait! I... I have a way!"

Wen Mingzhu immediately sheathed her sword: "Speak!"

Under the menacing gazes of the group, the Dream Demon said, "I know a way to enter dreams with sound, but that requires divine power."

“Divine power! Where did this divine power come from?!” Zhao Sicheng roared.

The nightmare demon cowered in fear, trembling. What had it done to deserve this? These two didn't seem weak at all; it just wanted to give them a nightmare.

"Your Highness's Azure Cloud Spear is an ancient divine weapon, and it was also the weapon of the fallen god Qingdeng! It should have some divine power on it, right?" Xie Xiao said.

"What about the weapon? Where are we going to find it if Fourth Brother doesn't wake up!" Zhao Sicheng retorted.

"It's said that ghost talismans borrow divine power. Let's try using Wen Li's ghost talisman!"

"The power of the Ghost Talisman can only be used after Wen Li wakes up." Zhao Sicheng felt somewhat powerless.

Just when they were at their wits' end, the woman took out a jade pendant from her bosom.

The jade pendant is bluish-green, and the shape carved is the Chinese character for "green." It looks no different from an ordinary jade pendant.

The others immediately asked, "Senior, do you have a solution?"

"Have."

Seeing her confident expression and air of superiority, everyone finally felt a little relieved.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go save our fourth brother!" Wen Mingzhu urged.

"Yes, quickly save our prince!"

The woman did not move, but stared at her jade pendant for a long time without making a move.

Xie Xiao quickly introduced, "Senior, you may not know this, but the one who has fainted is His Highness Shen Yingsi, the Crown Prince of our Great Jin. I am His Highness's bodyguard. This is the eldest daughter of the Wen family of the South Sea, and also the daughter of Prime Minister Wen. And this is Zhao Sicheng, the young master of the Zhao family of Jiangcheng, and the Left General of the Forest Guard."

The woman remained unmoved after hearing these explanations.

"If you save the Crown Prince, that will be a great achievement, and you'll be guaranteed a life of comfort and security for the rest of your days," Wen Mingzhu said.

The woman squatted down to check on Wenli's condition again.

They thought the woman had been persuaded. So Xie Xiao and Zhao Sicheng quickly carried Shen Yingsi to the woman.

"Why bring him here? I never said I was going to save him."

Wen Mingzhu was somewhat shocked: "This, this is the current Crown Prince! If you don't save him, do you want to save Wen Li, this jinx!"

The woman stared intently at Wen Li's features, gripped the jade pendant tightly, and made up her mind.

The jade pendant floated in mid-air, emitting a bluish-green light.

"I don't care about princes or generals, I just want to save this little girl."
