Chapter 214 : Even the Lioness Has Her Day
Recalling the course of the dream, Ariel was going crazy.Dear Goddess, how could she have such a strange dream?
Was this the retribution for staying up late reading ridiculous melodramatic novels?
The plot being too outrageous was one thing, but the key issue was—why did she have to insert all the people she knew in real life into it?
Ariel pressed her head, feeling completely dizzy.
But at least this was just a dream—it hadn't actually happened.
It was just a dream, so it should... not be known by anyone, right?
Gently patting her chest, Ariel couldn't help feeling fortunate.
However, the next moment, Celitia's words mercilessly shattered all of Ariel's hopes.
"That dream was quite strange," Celitia commented. "And we're still in your dream—we haven't left."
"You mean," Ariel's eyes widened, "we're still inside my dream right now?"
"Yes," Celitia nodded. "Although you've awakened from the dream, this is probably a connected dreamscape. I guess we still need to go into other people's dreams and wake them up before we can successfully leave."
Ariel completely missed what Celitia was saying in the latter half, her voice gradually trembling:
"So you actually entered my dream and woke me up?"
"Yes, and I even participated as an actor, experiencing it all firsthand."
With a devilish smile playing on her lips, Celitia deliberately nodded emphatically.
"I must say, it was quite a spectacular dream. If you ever stop being a Saintess, why not consider going to the Cassia Grand Theater to write scripts or something?"
Hearing Celitia's words, Ariel's face instantly turned deathly pale, and she froze in place like a statue.
It was over.
Celitia had seen everything.
That absurd and melodramatic dream—she had seen it all?!
Ariel didn't know how to describe her feelings.
She just wanted to flee this world overnight and confess before the Goddess.
"I have no face left to live... I might as well just die!"
Falling into extreme breakdown, Ariel turned around, placed her hands against the wall, and looked ready to bash her head against it.
If she got amnesia, she could pretend nothing had happened, right?
Self-deception wasn't a bad solution!
"Hey, it's not that serious!"
Celitia was startled and quickly grabbed her, both exasperated and amused.
"It's just a dream anyway, not reality. Besides, there's no one else here except us—only I saw it."
"Only you saw it?"
Ariel had to stop her actions and look back at her, her eyes rimmed with embarrassed red.
Having Celitia know was already embarrassing enough.
And why did it have to be her who saw it...
The more Ariel thought about it, the more dejected she became.
At this point, she could only console herself that at least only Celitia knew.
"So... you can't tell anyone, okay?" Ariel emphasized. "Absolutely cannot tell anyone!"
Ariel regretted it so much her intestines were about to snap.
She really shouldn't have stayed up late reading those ridiculous novels!
Indulging in such pleasures had indeed brought the Goddess's punishment!!
"No problem, I can promise you that."
Celitia suppressed her laughter and shrugged casually. "In that case, I suppose the Saintess now has a weakness in my hands?"
Ariel's cheeks flushed red as she squeezed out words through gritted teeth:
"As long as you don't tell anyone!"
Celitia smiled: "Then it's settled."
Seeing that devilish smile, Ariel's heart immediately jumped in alarm.
Oh no, she had a feeling something even more troublesome might happen.
This person looked pure and innocent, but her belly was probably full of mischief!
Having finished teasing Ariel and seeing her complex expression mixing embarrassment, indignation, and panic, Celitia was about to burst from holding back her laughter.
Who would have thought even the lioness would have such a day!
If she weren't worried about Ariel going to bash her head against the wall again, Celitia would have burst out laughing long ago.
This was truly a super challenge to her self-control!
Celitia couldn't help touching her stomach, feeling like she was getting stomach cramps from holding back laughter.
Bear it, just bear it a little longer!
This action fell into Ariel's eyes, and her flushed red face instantly turned green.
"No way!"
Ariel was extremely horrified and grabbed Celitia's shoulders, her hands trembling.
"Don't tell me you're actually pregnant?!"
Celitia immediately stopped finding it funny, her mouth twitching frantically.
No wonder Ariel could have such dreams—her imagination was truly powerful!
"There's no such thing!!" Celitia emphasized.
"Really not?" Ariel was still very worried. "Since this is my dream, doesn't that mean everything will change according to my subconscious?"
"If there isn't, then there isn't! Quickly abandon that thought!!"
Celitia was really afraid Ariel might get some ideas—if the dream changed and it became real in the dream, everything would be ruined.
She absolutely didn't want to experience what pregnancy felt like!
Not even a little bit!!
"Oh..." Ariel had to agree.
After all, she wasn't the one who was pregnant. Since they were already dreaming, shouldn't she dream bigger?
Besides, she'd already been mocked once—being laughed at a bit more wouldn't matter.
Thinking about it, Ariel actually felt somewhat regretful.
Celitia had no idea what dangerous thoughts Ariel was having.
She cleared her throat and shifted the topic to practical matters:
"By the way, Ariel, how did you come to be here?"
"Didn't I tell you before that I came here because I had business to handle?"
Ariel answered. "I didn't go into too much detail then, but there's no need to keep hiding it now."
Celitia pondered: "So it was also because of the rumors here?"
"You heard about them too? No wonder you appeared here."
Ariel couldn't help giving Celitia a reproachful look. "If such rumors aren't lies, then there's definitely something wrong. Why did you have to wade into murky waters?"
Celitia didn't explain that she had come to investigate because she felt an inexplicable attraction.
"What does the church think about this place?" Celitia asked.
"Actually, such strange rumors pop up from time to time, so the church didn't pay much attention initially."
Ariel shook her head.
"It was because people who came here all became mentally dazed that we started paying attention. I suspected some kind of anomaly had appeared here, so I came to investigate, but ended up trapped in the dreamscape..."
At this point, Ariel began gritting her teeth.
As the church's Saintess, yet falling into such a small trap was truly too embarrassing!
Even more embarrassing was that Celitia had seen it!
If she discovered who was behind this mischief...
She would definitely beat them until they questioned their very existence!!
