Chapter 457 I Gradually Understand All This
Chapter 457 I Gradually Understand All This
Chapter 457: I gradually understand everything.
Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
The more intelligence we analyze, the more confident we become in deciphering the illusion.
Zi Mian is clearly immersed in the illusion, so she doesn't recognize Zhang Chi at all.
Seeing her expression of humiliation and stubbornness, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.
Back then, he used to handle Zi Mian in the same way.
But he didn't expect Zi Mian to go through the same thing again, and it's really miserable.
However, Zhang Chi doesn't have the habit of pitying and cherishing others. He only feels pleased.
After being a good person for a few months, he almost forgot about his own wickedness.
Even if the setting in the illusion requires him to protect Zi Mian, he still thinks of ways to bully her to please himself.
"You don't have to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you."
With a gentle tone, Zi Mian outside the illusion would probably be overjoyed to hear it, but her wishes in the sea of desires are not limited to just this one.
She hopes to have a warm family, but unfortunately, that is another wish.
Zhang Chi looked at Wenren Shu curiously.
Is she naturally like this, or is she influenced by someone else's wish?
Zhang Chi was just curious and didn't delve deeper.
"Come home with me, okay?" Zhang Chi said indulgently to Zi Mian.
Zi Mian's buttocks tightened, and her scalp tingled.
She glanced at Wenren Shu, then at Zhang Chi and his outrageous thing, and finally made up her mind.
"Wife, I know you despise me for being useless, but for you, I'm willing to sacrifice myself. You live well, and when my second brother comes back, she will take good care of you. When she comes back, make sure she doesn't act impulsively."
Wenren Shu: "..."
Do I need you to sacrifice for me?
Is this too long? Can you handle it?
Wenren Shu's mentality has already exploded.
Seeing Zhang Chi doting on Zi Mian in every way, she feels like her face has been trampled on by Zhang Chi.
Is this man blind?
She thought she could seize the opportunity to leave this family, but she didn't expect that it would be her husband who would leave.
Chihua, who was watching the show outside, touched his nose, excited beyond words.
This plot is so thrilling!
Zhang Chi didn't leave immediately because he was usually quite enduring and couldn't leave in a short time.
Besides, he had nothing else to do, so he decided to concentrate and try to comprehend the illusion.
Knowing that this is an illusion, how can he break free from it? Should he follow the plot or destroy it?
After Zi Mian appeared, Zhang Chi had actually made his choice.
Following the plot wouldn't be appropriate, after all, this plot is rated 18+, equivalent to an FBI warning.
However, the changes he made didn't seem to have a significant impact on the illusion.
Zhang Chi just wanted to get rid of this waistband, as it was inconvenient to move around with it.
And it clearly didn't belong to him, so it felt uncomfortable to wear it.
When Zhang Chi had this thought, his body finally underwent a change.
In his mind, a voice that seemed real and illusory appeared.
"All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning, you should contemplate them as such..."
The voice gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Zhang Chi's body returned to normal, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
This widely known Heart Sutra of Guanyin, he heard it for the first time in this world.
Was it originally present in this Secret Realm, or was it read by something or someone who accessed his thoughts?
If it's the latter, then things would be simple.
If it's the former...
Well, Zhang Chi can't reach too high-level secrets anyway.
After all, he hasn't even developed his Divine Ability yet and is still in the early stage of cultivation.
"Alright, let's go!"
With his body back to normal, Zhang Chi decided to continue the act.
In his mind, he also obtained some basic information about this identity.
At least he knew where his family was.
Then, he took Zi Mian away.
Zhang Chi affectionately held Zi Mian's hand, and Zi Mian trembled all over.
But she didn't dare to resist and could only let Zhang Chi control her.
On the way, many people looked at them.
A handsome young man and a short dwarf, two big men holding hands and flaunting themselves, it was simply unbearable to look at.
Three words: eye-catching.
"Zhang Daguan, what new trick are you playing?"
"The eldest of the Zi family is going to suffer."
There were also flirtatious women who were very envious and kept saying how unfortunate it was.
In the midst of the crowd's gaze, Zhang Chi brought Zi Mian back home and called a few servants.
Obviously, not everyone in this illusion is a Secret Realm trial participant; some are NPCs.
Zhang Chi didn't know how many NPCs and trial participants were in his household, but he played along and played the role of the master of the house.
"Come and see, the person I brought back today, how does he look?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Zi Mian felt extremely humiliated.
Isn't this public execution?
Being humiliated by Zhang Chi was not enough; she also had to be criticized by others.
The servants could read the situation and noticed that Zhang Chi liked Zi Mian, so naturally, they spoke flattering words.
"This young man has a handsome face, rarely seen in the world. Master has a good eye!"
"Yes, yes, a man can actually be so beautiful, truly rare."
If it weren't for the pain in their eyes, Zhang Chi would almost believe them.
Because Zi Mian in Zhang Chi's eyes was indeed as they described, even though she was dressed as a man, she was still beautiful.
But obviously, these people were lying.
In other words, Zi Mian, in the eyes of others, was not good-looking and was considered a man.
So, is Zi Mian really a man?
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and ordered, "Prepare hot water, this young master and I will bathe together."
The servants were shocked, and Zi Mian blushed.
Damn it, even if you want to bully someone, why say it in public?
Thinking about what she was about to experience, Zi Mian felt full of resentment.
Before long, the bathwater was ready.
This is the wonderful life of feudal landlords. As long as arrangements are made, everything will be taken care of by someone else.
It's so decadent!
Zhang Chi criticized it seriously, then took Zi Mian's hand and went to the room.
After sending away the maidservant who was supposed to serve them, Zhang Chi smiled gently at Zi Mian and said, "Be good, I'll help you undress."
Zi Mian: "..."
Is it necessary to bully someone like this?
Zhang Chi's smile became even more pleasant.
Don't you like it when I'm gentle with you? Now the master will fulfill your wish.
Under Zi Mian's full humiliation, Zhang Chi confirmed her true gender.
Obviously, the illusion was just an illusion.
She thought she was a man, and others thought she was a man, but fundamentally, she was still a woman.
No wonder Wenren Shu was so desperate; it's understandable.
Zi Mian's body hadn't changed, so Zhang Chi felt relieved. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face her.
As for why only his own body had changed, Zhang Chi speculated that it might be because of his heartfelt wishes.
Zi Mian only needed emotional satisfaction, so her body was not affected.
And Zhang Chi made a wish regarding his body, so his body changed.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Zhang Chi glanced at Zi Mian, who was full of despair, and his smile became even more wicked...
