Chapter 288: Liane Field’s Dream, Mechanisms in the Cave
“Honey…”
Seeing Sean, Cecelia immediately threw herself into his embrace!
“Don’t be afraid, honey!”
“I’m here!”
Sean hugged Cecelia, gently patting her back and comforting her!
In Sean’s view!
For an ordinary woman like Cecelia, who doesn’t know about cultivation, witnessing those bloody scenes of killing would certainly be terrifying!
Even!
It might cause a psychological shadow!
So!
She would have nightmares when sleeping at night!
However!
Ten minutes later!
Cecelia’s emotions gradually calmed down, her body stopped trembling, and the fine sweat on her forehead dried up. She glanced around and whispered, “Honey, if we talk here, can others hear us?”
“Oh?”
Sean was taken aback and shook his head, “No one can hear us!”
He was now a genuine Bright Realm cultivator, and isolating sound to prevent others from prying and eavesdropping was a piece of cake! Moreover, the members of the Bloody Wolf Group were very tactful. In this cave, only Sean and Cecelia were a married couple, and Phyllis had always been clamoring for them to have a little brother…
So when setting up their sleeping areas, Shadow Wolf and the others deliberately spread them out: the Bloody Wolf Group members in one area, Julia in another, King of Night in a third, and Sean, Cecelia, and Phyllis together. The distance between them and Sean’s family of three was over 100 meters!
First, they didn’t want to “disturb” Sean and Cecelia when they engaged in “important matters” at night, lest they be beaten! Second, they didn’t want to be “disturbed” by Sean and Cecelia when they were sleeping at night, to prevent insomnia! It was a mutually beneficial arrangement!
Cecelia finally felt at ease and continued, “There are some things I want to talk to you about privately… It’s not appropriate for others to hear…”
Inappropriate? Sean was puzzled and asked with a frown, “What’s the big secret?”
“Could it be…”
As if he had thought of something, Sean’s eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out to touch Cecelia’s belly and said excitedly, “My dear wife, have you really become pregnant with a little brother for Phyllis?”
“Tsk!”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Cecelia’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she looked especially charming under the firelight. She glared at Sean and then said seriously, “The matter I want to discuss is related to your biological mother, Liane Field!”
“What???”
Sean was stunned for the third time!
Cecelia raised her right hand, looked down at the blood jade ring on her right ring finger, and said softly, “Ever since you put this ring on me at our engagement banquet, some strange things have happened. I often have some strange dreams…”
Then, Cecelia recounted in more detail what she had previously told Cornelia in Hilshire. After listening, Sean was shocked! His face changed completely!
His pupils contracted, his brow furrowed, and he looked at Cecelia in disbelief, asking, “Wife, are you saying that after you put on this ring, you mysteriously dreamt of my biological mother?”
“And not just once?”
As he spoke, Sean looked down at the blood jade ring on Cecelia’s hand. He thought to himself that this blood jade ring was indeed extraordinary! Otherwise, his mother Nicola Wright wouldn’t have entrusted the ring to his grandparents for safekeeping before returning to the capital, and repeatedly urged them to pass it on to Sean’s wife!
Now, it could be confirmed that the true owner of the blood jade ring was not Nicola Wright, but Liane Field! Given Liane Field’s mysterious identity and powerful bloodline, the blood jade ring suddenly seemed even more mysterious and unpredictable!
Could it… even communicate through dreams???
Sean couldn’t understand why Liane Field, his biological mother, didn’t directly send him dreams but instead communicated with Cecelia.
A series of question marks swirled in Sean’s mind, unable to be dispelled!
“Mm-hmm,” Cecelia nodded and said, “I guess it has something to do with the ring piercing my finger for no reason. At the time, blood was drawn, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye!”
Damn!
Sean’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch. Could it be that the blood jade ring, like Wolf’s Massacre, could also… suck blood???
“Originally,” Cecelia continued, “I was just worried about having those strange dreams.”
“I was worried about your safety.”
“So, I agreed to come to the capital with Chuck Campbell and the others to find you.”
“But after learning that Nicola was not your biological mother, I realized that this matter was not simple. Especially after hearing Pierce Porter’s account of Liane, I suspected that the beautiful woman appearing in my dreams might be Liane!”
“So, I proposed to have Pierce Porter describe Liane’s appearance!”
Sean finally understood!
Turns out!
He had misunderstood before; he thought Cecelia’s suggestion was to make it easier to find Liane Field in the future!
After speaking,
Cecelia stretched out her left hand, took off the blood jade ring on her right ring finger, handed it to Sean, and said, “Honey, this ring belongs to Liane, and you are her biological son!”
“You should wear it!”
“Maybe!”
“After putting it on, Liane might come to you in your dreams at night!”
“In that case!”
“You two, mother and son, can meet in your dreams…”
It must be said!
Cecelia was truly a gentle and considerate girl!
A good wife!
However!
Sean didn’t reach out to take it, shook his head, and smiled, “My grandma said before that this ring is specially left for my daughter-in-law by my mother. Although I don’t know her purpose in doing this!”
“But!”
“There must be a reason!”
“I think!”
“It’s better for my wife to wear it. Liane’s bloodline is very strong, and her power must be unfathomable. Maybe she wants to protect her daughter-in-law through this ring?”
Cecelia’s pretty face turned crimson instantly!
After some thought,
She insisted, “How about this!”
“You wear it tonight, honey. What if you really dream of Liane?”
“If it doesn’t work!”
“You can give it back to me later!”
Saying this,
Cecelia put the blood jade ring on Sean’s finger without waiting for his refusal, then tightly held Sean’s hand, her face full of anticipation!
As Sean’s wife, Cecelia naturally hoped that Sean and Liane Field could reunite as soon as possible, mother and son!
Even if!
It’s only in their dreams!
“Well…”
“Alright!”
This time, Sean didn’t refuse!
Better safe than sorry!
What if?
What if Liane really appeared in his dreams???
Of course!
The probability of this happening is low, and this idea is even a bit absurd!
But!
Sean didn’t want to miss this opportunity!
“Also…”
Cecelia hesitated for a moment, glanced at the surrounding cave walls, lowered her voice even more, and whispered in Sean’s ear, “I just… dreamed of Liane again!”
“And!”
“I also dreamt about this cave!”
Upon hearing this,
Sean’s body trembled violently!
Oh my God!
Is it really that magical???
According to Cecelia’s description just now, when she dreamt of Liane Field in Hilshire before, the dream background was a sea of flowers with green mountains and water in the distance, resembling the paradise described by Pierce Porter!
And now!
Cecelia came to this cave for the first time, slept, and freaking dreamt about this cave???
Such nonsense!
If it weren’t coming from Cecelia’s mouth, Sean would never believe it!
He would even sneer!
And possibly!
He might not be able to resist pinning the other person down and beating them up!
It’s too absurd!
Too incredible!
“Tell me!”
Sean asked curiously, “What exactly did you dream?”
Cecelia frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the contents of the dream. After a moment, she began, “Liane took me to this cave, and then…”
“She seemed…”
“She seemed to activate a mechanism on the cave wall, opening a stone door!”
“Yes!”
“It’s a stone door!”
“Just as she was about to take me in, you woke me up…”
Uh!
Sean’s forehead broke out in three black lines!
It seems!
It’s his own fault for ruining everything!
However!
Cecelia’s mention of the stone door mechanism suddenly reminded Sean of when he saw the King of Night in this cave before, and what the King of Night had said!
According to the King of Night!
The reason he knew the secret entrance to this cave was because the cave itself was excavated by his people!
And the purpose!
It was to imprison a very important criminal!
At that time, Sean found it strange. What kind of criminal was so important that they had to specially excavate such a large cave in Hill Riverside to create a prison???
The King of Night didn’t elaborate, and Sean didn’t ask more!
Now thinking back, it suddenly gave Sean a whiff of an extraordinary scent!
Liane Field sent Cecelia a dream, bringing her to this cave and activating the mechanisms inside. Had she been here before?
If so!
Then!
Sean’s pupils suddenly shrank, and a bold thought popped into his head, sending shivers down his spine.
Holy crap!
Could the important prisoner held in this cave by King of Night actually be my mom?
In an instant!
His energy surged!
An oppressive aura radiated out!
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
Shadow Wolf and the others were startled awake, and with a whooshing sound, they rushed over.
King of Night also appeared beside Sean like a ghost.
“Boss, what happened?”
The group looked around, puzzled and on guard.
“It’s nothing!”
Sean quickly retracted his energy, shook his head, and said, “I just lost control for a moment. Go back to sleep!”
Upon hearing this!
Shadow Wolf and the others exchanged glances.
Lost control?
Yes!
Under these circumstances, who could control themselves?
They looked down to see Cecelia, her face red, hiding in Sean’s arms. They exchanged knowing looks, and chuckled, “We get it!”
“We get it!”
“Boss!”
“Madam!”
“Carry on, carry on…”
“Don’t worry!”
“We sleep like logs, we won’t see or hear anything!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
A bunch of little wolves!
Not holding back on teasing Sean!
“Get lost!”
Sean cursed, and Shadow Wolf and the others scattered, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
King of Night also silently turned and left.
Though!
King of Night was no match for Sean now, he wouldn’t confront him impulsively just based on Cecelia’s dream.
After all, the person behind King of Night was the current Padishah!
Moreover, King of Night was loyal to the Padishah. If the important prisoner previously held in this cave was indeed Liane Field or related to her, then even if Sean subdued King of Night through force, he wouldn’t betray the Padishah.
“Honey…”
After everyone left, Cecelia quietly lifted her head from Sean’s embrace, concerned, “What’s going on?”
“Is there a problem?”
Sean didn’t hide anything, telling her the truth, “Since my mom could bring you here in a dream and activate the mechanism, I guess she might have been here before!”
“So!”
“Tomorrow, I’ll take you around the cave to see if we can find the location of the mechanism!”
“If it really exists!”
“Then…”
“After Night leaves, we’ll open it!”
“Take a look!”
“What secrets are hidden behind that stone door, unknown to anyone?”
Cecelia nodded!
Then asked curiously, “Why wait until Night leaves?”
Sean didn’t hold back!
He told Cecelia everything!
After listening!
Cecelia’s face grew more solemn!
Originally!
She thought Sean’s enemy was just the Mason family, but it turned out to involve the Porter family, Prince Ashby, and Prince Roscoe’s power struggle, facing stronger enemies, more trouble, and greater danger!
And now, having finally learned some information about Liane Field, it suddenly implicated the current Padishah!
The road ahead was tough!
Filled with danger and uncertainty!
“My love, don’t be afraid!”
Sean held Cecelia tightly, a determined smile on his chiseled face, and said, “I’m here!”
“I’ll protect you and Phyllis!”
Sean had his own principles and bottom lines!
Cecelia and Phyllis were his bottom lines, the untouchable scales on his body!
Who dared to touch them?
He’d kill them!
Not even the gods could save them!
“I’m not afraid!”
Cecelia said softly, “As long as you and Phyllis are with me, I’m not afraid of anything!”
The couple embraced each other as they slept!
It wasn’t until after one in the morning that Sean fell into a deep sleep. As his consciousness blurred, he touched the blood jade ring on his hand, still thinking to himself…
Liane!
Will you appear in my dreams tonight?
