Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes

Chapter 575: Blocking Dream

Sure enough, Axel calmly began listing them."You’ll need things such as the Ghost Fruit, the Essence Fruit, Spirit Herbs, Soul Dew, Heavenly Essence Crystals..."

One treasure after another left his mouth.

Materials that sounded increasingly impossible to obtain.

The longer Lana listened, the paler her face became.

Her soul practically left her body.

By the time Axel finished speaking, Lana’s vision had already turned black. Thud.

She collapsed onto the ground. Seeing this, Axel simply sighed.

"With this level of mental fortitude, I doubt you’ll even survive the Mystic Cultivation Competition."

Mr. Crow glanced at Lana’s unconscious figure before snorting.

"People don’t even need to threaten her. Just mention expensive treasures, and she’ll knock herself unconscious."

.................

When Lana finally opened her eyes again, she realized they had already returned to Lucian’s mansion.

She slowly stretched her aching body before rubbing her sleepy eyes. "So... I didn’t faint?"

She blinked blankly. "I actually fell asleep..."

With another sigh, she softly called, "Myra."

A gentle green glow floated out of the jade bracelet.

Moments later, Myra appeared in her elegant emerald-green dress, her long hair gently swaying as though an invisible breeze surrounded her.

Seeing her, Lana suddenly became curious.

"Can you change your appearance?"

She tilted her head. "I mean... can you wear different clothes or maybe change your hairstyle?"

Myra thought carefully before shaking her head. "I can change the clothes that I’m wearing."

She lightly touched the edge of her dress. "But changing my hair is difficult."

She lowered her head apologetically. "I can’t do that."

Lana sighed dramatically. "Well... there really isn’t such a thing as a free lunch."

Mr. Crocodile immediately frowned. "What?"

He stared at Lana suspiciously.

"Were you seriously planning to play dress-up with this little girl?"

Lana instantly rolled her eyes. "How could that possibly be true?"

She crossed her arms confidently. "Do I really look like a child to you?"

However, deep inside...

’I absolutely wanted to play dress-up.’

Naturally, she wisely kept that thought to herself.

.............

After going downstairs, she found Lucian quietly sitting inside the living room.

The moment Lucian noticed Lana, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He calmly stood up before opening his arms.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lana happily rushed over and threw herself into his embrace.

"I missed you."

Lucian softly chuckled as he gently patted her head.

"I can honestly say the same."

However, as he hugged her, his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the jade bracelet on her wrist.

His brows slowly furrowed. ’Strange...’

That jade bracelet was something he had personally given Lana.

Using it, he had always been able to quietly enter her dreams whenever he wished to make sure she was safe.

Yet recently... no matter how many times he tried... he could no longer enter her dreams.

’Something is blocking me.’

His eyes quietly swept across Lana’s body, searching for any clue.

Unfortunately... even after observing her for quite some time, he found absolutely nothing unusual.

Just then, Axel suddenly stretched lazily before loudly complaining,

"Oh my God! I’m starving!"

He dramatically rubbed his stomach.

"Someone hurry up and bring me food before I die of hunger!"

Lucian silently suppressed the doubts in his heart.

’I’ll investigate it later.’

Soon, everyone gathered together and enjoyed lunch.

............

Late that night, after another exhausting day, Lana finally dragged herself toward her bedroom.

She collapsed onto the soft mattress without even bothering to change her clothes.

The moment her head touched the pillow, sleep completely overtook her.

.............

Inside the jade bracelet... Myra slowly opened her eyes.

She floated toward the bedroom window before quietly looking outside.

A deep frown gradually appeared on her tiny face.

In truth... ever since she had become Lana’s companion, she had constantly sensed another mysterious energy trying to interfere with her master’s memories and dreams.

At first, that strange energy had remained cautious.

However, with every passing day, it had become increasingly bold.

It repeatedly attempted to approach Lana’s consciousness. Every single time, Myra silently chased it away.

How dare an unknown energy continue disturbing her master?

This time... she could clearly feel it again.

And unlike before... it was incredibly close.

Her emerald eyes narrowed. ’I’ve finally found you.’

She silently followed the faint waves of spiritual energy through the quiet mansion.

Only the soft moonlight illuminated her path.

Finally... she stopped outside one particular room. Lucian’s room.

Without hesitation, she floated inside.

When she saw Lucian peacefully sleeping, she frowned before gently poking his cheek.

The next instant... Lucian’s eyes abruptly flew open.

His icy gaze instantly locked onto the unfamiliar spirit standing beside his bed.

For a brief moment, killing intent flashed through his eyes.

’How did an unknown spirit enter my mansion? Could there be a flaw somewhere within my spiritual formation?’

Otherwise... how could an unfamiliar spirit appear beside him without triggering any alarm?

Just as he was about to erase the tiny spirit from existence...

Myra crossed her tiny arms before angrily demanding,

"Why do you keep trying to interfere with my master’s dreams?"

Lucian froze.

His cold expression gradually softened. ’My master...’

There was only one person’s dreams he had ever attempted to enter.

Lana’s. Which meant... this little spirit had to be Lana’s companion.

Suppressing the countless questions inside his mind, Lucian calmly asked, "What is your name?"

Myra proudly puffed out her tiny chest. "I am Myra."

She smiled brightly. "I am Lana’s newest companion."

Then she immediately pointed one tiny finger toward Lucian. "And who are you?"

Lucian couldn’t help but chuckle before replying with a perfectly calm expression.

"Well... I am your master’s future husband."

The moment those words reached Myra’s ears, her tiny brows knitted tightly together. "No."

She crossed her little arms before firmly declaring,

"I will never agree to this relationship."

She narrowed her emerald eyes suspiciously.

"You are nothing but a big bad wolf. Otherwise, why would you constantly try to get closer to my master?"

Lucian merely smiled, completely unfazed by her accusation. "Well, that is because one day we want to give you lots of little brothers and little sisters."

He leaned back comfortably before continuing with a teasing smile.

"Think about it. If there are lots of little Lanas and little Lucians running around, won’t you always have someone to play with? You would never be lonely again."

Hearing those words, Myra immediately fell silent. Her tiny face became unusually serious.

Inside her heart, countless thoughts began colliding with one another.

’Little versions of master...? That does sound... rather fun.’

Lucian quietly observed her expression without interrupting. Although he knew almost nothing about Shikis, one thing was obvious.

She looked exactly like a child. And what did children like the most? Friends. Playmates.

As expected... the temptation slowly began winning against her determination. After thinking for quite some time, Myra finally let out a tiny sigh.

"Since you are convincing me with such confidence..."

She reluctantly looked away. "...then I suppose I can agree."

However, her expression suddenly became serious again. "But!"

She raised one tiny finger toward Lucian. "You are not allowed to keep doing that anymore."

Her voice became unexpectedly solemn.

"It is very dangerous.’

’If something accidentally triggers the goddess’s bloodline, what if my master loses control and goes berserk?’ She thought.

The words had barely left her mouth before she abruptly froze. Her eyes widened. ’Wait...’

The next moment, she hurriedly corrected herself. "Did you even ask for my master’s permission?"

Lucian blinked. "Your master’s permission?"

Myra nodded repeatedly. "Did she allow you to enter her dreams?"

Lucian smiled calmly. "She is wearing the jade bracelet that belongs to me, isn’t she?"

He shrugged casually. "Doesn’t that count as consent?"

Myra immediately narrowed her eyes. "No."

She firmly shook her head. "That is not consent."

She pointed accusingly at him.

"You are lying. If my master had truly agreed to let you enter her dreams, then she would have known that you were doing it."

She folded her tiny arms.

"But judging from how completely unguarded she is, it is obvious she has absolutely no idea."

Lucian couldn’t help laughing softly. "How about this? We’ll ask your master tomorrow morning."

He smiled with complete confidence. "If she tells me not to enter her dreams anymore, then I won’t."

Seeing how calm and confident he looked, Myra suddenly became nervous. She hesitated before quietly asking, "Then... will my master become angry?"

Lucian shrugged helplessly. "Maybe."

He smiled mischievously. "Or perhaps she’ll be angry because you kept preventing me from meeting her inside her dreams."

Hearing that possibility, Myra lowered her head. After remaining silent for several seconds, she reluctantly nodded.

"Fine... You may enter."

Then she frowned deeply. "But..."

She tilted her head in confusion. "Why do I still feel like something is wrong?"

Lucian gently smiled. "There is indeed something wrong."

He looked directly into her eyes before calmly continuing,

"You continuously blocked someone from entering your master’s dreams."

He paused briefly. "Isn’t that the same as making decisions on behalf of your master?"
