What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 205

Inside the Great Yong Dynasty.

Huangfu Baizhi, clad in a phoenix robe, was unmatched in beauty.

As a general who had successfully led a rebellion, she could have easily followed in the footsteps of Li Ruowang of Great Qian Dynasty, donning a dragon robe and ruling over all under heaven.

But Huangfu Baizhi insisted on wearing the phoenix robe, and regarded herself as the empress of the Great Yong Dynasty, claiming that the emperor was someone else.

This matter made everyone feel quite puzzled.

But no one dared to ask too much.

They had all witnessed Huangfu Baizhi’s iron-blooded methods.

When she ascended the throne, a single swing of the butcher’s knife took the heads of more than half the ministers.

Now, who would dare to challenge her dragon might?

Yet even after successfully ascending the throne, Huangfu Baizhi was not happy.

There were two reasons.

First, after a long search, she still had not found any trace of Ye Yu.

Second, the neighboring Great Xia Dynasty, under the pretense of aiding an allied nation, was threatening to invade the Great Yong Dynasty, aiming to depose Huangfu Baizhi and restore the Ye family to its rightful place.

This reason sounded righteous, but in truth, it harbored ulterior motives.

Clear-eyed individuals knew that the Great Xia Dynasty actually wanted to seize the territory of the Great Yong Dynasty.

In the dream, Ye Yu had completely dismantled the Great Xia Dynasty in just three years.

So, at the beginning, when facing the invasion of the Great Xia Dynasty, Huangfu Baizhi didn’t take it too seriously.

She even began to imitate Ye Yu, constantly distributing money, trying to boost morale.

And prepare for a counterattack against the Great Xia Dynasty.

But what Huangfu Baizhi didn’t expect was that this measure didn’t work in her hands.

Instead, the Great Xia Dynasty’s forces only grew more emboldened, capturing twelve cities within a month, their momentum unstoppable, and their swords now pointed directly at the Great Yong’s imperial city.

This made Huangfu Baizhi extremely angry.

In the grand hall, she stared at the map hanging on the wall, furiously berating, “Is Meng Shifang an idiot? How could a perfectly good battle turn out like this?”

The newly promoted first-rank minister, Sun Longhai, slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Reporting to Her Majesty the Empress. Marshal Meng has sent a message.”

“He claims that recent deserters have increased. Morale is low, and he is powerless to do anything.”

“What? Nothing he can do? Then let him get lost! I’ll lead the troops myself! Summon the army, prepare my armor!”

Huangfu Baizhi, her face full of murderous intent, strode directly toward the exit.

Sun Longhai’s expression changed dramatically.

“Your Majesty, please reconsider! You are of utmost importance and must not expose yourself to danger!”

In the end, Sun Longhai was still unable to persuade her.

Two hours later.

Outside the imperial city.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers were gathered in formation, along with several hundred royal enshrined cultivators.

Huangfu Baizhi donned her battle armor again.

Her demeanor was full of heroism.

Just as she was about to give the order to advance, she suddenly shuddered, and looked ahead in disbelief.

Sun Longhai, who was accompanying the expedition, furrowed his brows as he too noticed a figure in the sky ahead, flying toward them.

He immediately stepped forward, sternly commanding, “The area within a hundred miles of the imperial city forbids flying cultivators. Descend and retreat immediately! Otherwise…”

Before he could finish his words, Huangfu Baizhi kicked him to the ground.

This sudden turn of events left all the soldiers and cultivators present utterly confused.

What was going on? Lord Sun was simply upholding the rules of the Dynasty—what was wrong with that? Why kick him?

Moreover, wasn’t Sun Longhai supposed to be Huangfu Baizhi’s trusted confidant? Otherwise, how could he have been promoted from fourth rank directly to first rank?

In fact, all the ministers of the Great Yong Dynasty thought the same way.

From fourth-rank to first-rank!

A gap that many could never cross in their lifetimes. Yet, this immense fortune had fallen solely on Sun Longhai.

How could that not make people speculate?

But the reality was simpler.

Huangfu Baizhi’s favor for Sun Longhai was merely an extension of her affection for Ye Yu.

In the dream, Ye Yu had favored using Sun Longhai, so Huangfu Baizhi gave him a high position as well. There was no real notion of confidant or not.

“Empress, what is the meaning of this?”

Sun Longhai, with a look of grievance, stood up.

But Huangfu Baizhi did not look at him. Instead, she gazed at the figure in the sky, softly calling out, “Your Majesty.”

These simple two words caused the expressions of the tens of thousands present to change in an instant.

Your Majesty? Was this the emperor that Huangfu Baizhi had always regarded as her true sovereign?

Indeed, the figure in the sky was none other than Ye Yu.

During the journey from the East Sea Continent to the Northern Desolate Continent, he had simulated dreams twice, both times being killed before he had even fully developed, with pitifully few rewards.

This outcome was truly frustrating.

In the end, Ye Yu decided not to simulate further. He would accumulate some good fortune first.

When he arrived at the Northern Desolate Continent, Ye Yu had also put away his spirit boat, planning to travel through the air and take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

But unexpectedly, before he could reach the Great Yong Dynasty’s imperial city, he heard Huangfu Baizhi’s call.

Looking down, she was just as valiant as she had been in the dream realm.

Ye Yu smiled and swiftly descended.

As soon as he landed, Huangfu Baizhi leaped into his embrace.

“Your Majesty, I’ve finally found you.”

Seeing this scene, Sun Longhai’s face twitched uncontrollably, but inwardly, he was immensely relieved.

Thank goodness he hadn’t cursed earlier; otherwise, Huangfu Baizhi might have executed him under the pretext of insulting the emperor. What a close call, truly!

Immediately after, Sun Longhai reacted quickly, dropping to his knees and shouting with all his might, “Long live His Majesty, the Emperor!”

To Sun Longhai, it didn’t matter who the emperor was; what mattered was that he must never go against Huangfu Baizhi’s will. Otherwise, certain death awaited him.

However, not everyone had the same level of awareness as Sun Longhai.

Most of the soldiers and cultivators behind him exchanged puzzled glances, hesitating to kneel right away.

Huangfu Baizhi heard the sparse voices of those offering their respects behind her.

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

She suddenly turned around and said sharply, “This is the true Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty. All kneel and pay your respects properly. Those who show disrespect will be executed!!!”

Upon hearing this, the tens of thousands of soldiers immediately dropped to their knees, shouting, “Long live His Majesty, the Emperor!”

Witnessing this grand scene, Ye Yu felt a surge of heroic spirit.

He even felt as if he had returned to the dream realm, ruling the world!

……

Two days later.

In the front lines of Quanchang City, the repeated defeats had left the Great Yong Dynasty’s soldiers despondent.

Their morale was extremely low.

Marshal Meng Shifang was also deeply distressed. He looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city.

Their ranks were orderly and disciplined, a stark contrast to his own forces, making the difference in strength painfully clear.

Meng Shifang truly did not know if there was any chance of winning this battle.

“Roar!”

The roar of a dragon echoed through the air.

Meng Shifang looked up and saw nine flood dragons pulling a massive dragon chariot, speeding toward them.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

It was the dragon chariot—truly the dragon chariot!

How could this be?

Everyone knew that since Huangfu Baizhi had been crowned empress of the Great Yong Dynasty, she had been extremely restrained, never once touching the privileges meant for the emperor.

How is it that now the Emperor’s exclusive dragon carriage has appeared?

Could it be that the Great Yong Dynasty already has a new Emperor?

Not just Meng Shifang, but everyone present had the same question in their minds.

They couldn’t help but stand straight, their eyes fixed on the sky.

In just a few moments, the flood dragons entered the city, and the dragon chariot gradually came to a stop.

After the curtains were lifted, Ye Yu, wearing the dragon robe, stepped out directly!

And Huangfu Baizhi had also changed out of her battle armor. Wearing the phoenix robe, she followed behind Ye Yu, her hands clasped in front of her, eyes full of tenderness.

A vision of regal grace.

Such a sight made almost everyone present unable to believe their eyes.

This stunning Empress, was she really the same ice-cold and murderous supreme general from a few months ago?

She seemed like a completely different person!
