Chapter 165: Chapter 148 Just Missing a Heaven’s Mandate Protagonist_1

Ultimately, the werewolf-like strongman didn’t approach Zheng Yichen, performing an almost five-minute march in place under Zheng Yichen’s watchful eye before storming off angrily.

That’s it?

With the departure of the werewolf-like strongman, Zheng Yichen jolted awake from his sleep. He looked at the three girls still asleep in their sleeping bags, then at the motorcycle beside him, thinking that he should add some long-lasting energy shields to this thing when he got back.

He wasn’t skilled in modification techniques, otherwise he would have tried to adapt the electromagnetic barrier protection attached to the motorcycle and see if it could be transformed into a state of micro-output.

He was afraid of damaging the device.

"That thing just now..." Zheng Yichen pinched Liu Hongzhao’s face, the girl who was the most passive among the three.

The girl who slowly opened her eyes looked at Zheng Yichen with a complex expression and hesitated to speak.

"What’s wrong?" Zheng Yichen added some fuel to the stove beside him.

"Why did you wake me up?" Liu Hongzhao asked, then she saw that Zheng Yichen had woken the others as well.

"I just had a dream, and I think there was a problem, I was worried that something might happen to you guys." Zheng Yichen looked at the three girls and briefly explained, "Are you all okay?"

"I didn’t sleep well." Qi Xiangyun yawned, rubbing her eyes, saying that she had always cared about the martial arts known as Blood Asura, thinking about it even in her sleep. A dream? There was indeed a dream, but it was a sea of blood, and in that sea, her friends and family were struggling in agony...

"Doesn’t seem like anything’s wrong?" Lin Yaoyao yawned sleepily. She didn’t have any dreams.

"What about you?" Zheng Yichen turned to Liu Hongzhao.

The girl stared at Zheng Yichen: "Someone told me you have a connection with the Battle Maniac Asura."

"What the hell?" Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who? What did they look like?"

He had connections with the Battle Maniac Asura? He had been in this world for less than a week; what kind of connection could he have?

Liu Hongzhao shook her head: "It was a woman with a very large chest. I didn’t believe her... Anyway, it doesn’t matter now."

You’re giving up too easily. Watching Liu Hongzhao be indifferent to everything, Zheng Yichen didn’t know how to encourage her. Mainly because he hadn’t experienced what she had, and had no empathy. Anything he said seemed as useless as nonsense.

However, from this exchange, it was certain that they had been targeted by something that could infiltrate dreams undetected – most likely belonging to the Supreme Demons of this world.

The books recorded that Supreme Demons cannot be killed, only sealed. If there were such records, it indicated that the Supreme Demons of this world were special. They were powerful but not invincible, and the strong in the Mortal Realm could still suppress and seal them, just unable to kill them outright.

"You all go back to sleep, I’ll keep watch from now on." Zheng Yichen said, rubbing his eyes. He hadn’t slept for very long, but he had plenty of experience staying up late. Previously, the motorcycle’s warning system would alert them if anything approached.

Lin Yaoyao, who trusted Zheng Yichen the most, nodded and crawled back into the still-warm sleeping bag. Liu Hongzhao and Qi Xiangyun both looked at Zheng Yichen, wanting to say something but hesitating.

After a moment, Qi Xiangyun spoke first: "You go ahead."

Liu Hongzhao looked seriously at Zheng Yichen: "I want to ask one last time, can you really be trusted? Are you really not a demon?"

She had told Zheng Yichen about her dream, but the words of the woman in the dream made her concerned too. She was resigned to her negativity, but she didn’t want to be deceived and continue to suffer in the Mortal Realm. If Zheng Yichen was a demon, he should just get it over with and act.

It would finally put her heart at rest, whether it be being eaten, killed, or something else. This was her final inquiry.

"It’s still the same. Although I’m slightly different from normal people, I am indeed human." Zheng Yichen’s response was earnest. He didn’t reject the extraordinary abilities he acquired after transmigrating. When the abnormalities first appeared, he hadn’t felt anything at all, let alone experienced any serious mutations like those of chickens, ducks, or geese.

He remained thoroughly human despite his inadvertent transformation, and now saying so, he felt no psychological pressure at all—it wasn’t a lie.

"What about the Battle Maniac Asura?"

"That thing with arms like a centipede? If I hadn’t been strong, I would have been killed by him a long time ago. How could there be any connection?" Zheng Yichen glanced at the great sword planted in the ground. Just seeing Qi Xiangyun’s expression earlier told him the martial art must be powerful, but until he confirmed its safety or rather its stability, he would absolutely not attempt it.

The things left by an enemy, even if the enemy was a battle maniac wanting to see a stronger version of himself in the next fight, were no reason to fully trust the enemy.

His plan was to take the great sword to the Dusk Cathedral and let the nuns have a look before making a decision.

"Whether to trust or not, let time be the judge."

Liu Hongzhao’s expression was complex: "Time is torture for me."

She no longer had any expectations for the future, so she approached things without hope, wanting to know the answers immediately followed by the consequences those answers would bring.

Deep down, however, she hoped Zheng Yichen was a good person, the kind who could eventually overcome obstacles, defeat Supreme Demons, and cut down the Demon Flower to save the people. Yet, she was terrified that it was all false, a sweet dream that would be overcome by a deeper despair.
