Inherit the estate! Then raise monster girls!

Chapter 23 So it turns out I'm the one with zero food?

Su Lan's vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pink dream world.

There is no red moon or mist here, only rainbow-colored wildflowers covering the mountains and fields.

Scattered among the flowers are various toys: slides, seesaws, swings, plush dolls... and even a themed playground.

Joyful music echoed in the sky.

Like a fairy tale.

Tia was wearing the same dress she had just worn, standing in the middle of the flower bushes with a bewildered expression.

Upon seeing Su Lan, Tia ran over excitedly: "Su Lan, let's go play!"

Su Lan nodded, a guess forming in her mind.

Judging from Tia's appearance, she was clearly already lost in a dream and had not yet woken up.

They even forgot about the drinking contest they had just had among the flowers of the underworld.

But he is different.

A cool sensation emanated from the "Tide Scales" between his brows, and he knew as soon as he entered that this was not reality.

But Su Lan hesitated whether to wake Tia.

"Well, I might as well keep her company."

He smiled and asked, "What do you want to play?"

"Come swing with me!" Tia grabbed Su Lan's hand and ran into the flower bushes.

There was no pollution in the dream, and Su Lan did not feel any stinging sensation, so she let Tia pull her along.

In front of the swing, Tia released Su Lan and picked up the two dolls on the ground.

"Here you go, ferret. It looks a lot like me when I was little!"

She handed one of them to Su Lan, then hugged the cartoon Su Lan doll to her chest, jumped onto the swing, and started swinging.

"Su Lan, give me a push!"

Su Lan walked behind her, gently pushed the back of the swing, and joked:

"I didn't expect you to really be a mink in disguise. No wonder you're so good at digging holes."

"Of course!" Tia laughed heartlessly.

"I sprang from a rock deep in the snowfield! I was just this small back then, not even big enough to turn into a human, and I was all dusty and gray."

She gestured with her hand to form a shape the size of an apple.

"I relied on my amazing skill of digging to search for magic crystals to eat, until one day, I ran out of the snowfield and encountered a human caravan..."

Tia suddenly trembled, as if she had thought of something.

The dream world also began to change drastically.

The pink faded, the little flowers withered, and the toys turned into iron cages of varying sizes.

Su Lan stopped the swing, stroked Tia's hair, and comforted her:

"It's alright, it's all in the past. I won't let you suffer again!"

Tia leaned against Su Lan, her voice soft and low:

"They said I was a 'remnant' and wanted to sacrifice me to the gods... Luckily, Sister Seraya saved me, and then I met you."

She looked up and rolled her eyes at Su Lan: "It's only in a dream. If you were like this in real life, that would be great!"

As Tia's mood improved, the iron cage was opened, and the sky regained its color.

Su Lan felt somewhat wronged. He also wanted to pet monster girls, but he was powerless to do so!

If you get too close, your whole body will itch. Even the slightest touch feels like being pricked with needles. If you were to hug it, it would swell up and you wouldn't be able to get out of bed for days.

Tia pinched Su Lan's face, and the two remained silent.

The colors in the sky grew increasingly dreamlike, with flowers blooming around the two of them, spreading outwards in circles.

However, this heartwarming scene did not last long.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky!

A blood-red moon forced its way in through the gap!

A piercing, maniacal laugh echoed through the air.

"Found you! You were hiding in the dreams of the survivors!"

Kahn's face was faintly visible in the red moonlight, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mental state was clearly not normal.

"Looks like you two were in cahoots all along. Good, saves me the trouble of searching everywhere. Prepare to die!"

New and old grudges surged into his heart, and Kahn roared as he attacked, tearing cracks through the sky.

Countless chains fell from the crack, shooting towards Su Lan and Tia.

Blood dripped down, corroding the flowerbeds and creating huge pits.

From within the pit, monsters made of flesh and blood rose up and charged towards Su Lan and her companion.

"Get out of the way!" Tia jumped off the swing, and magical light gathered in her hands, causing earthen walls to rise from all directions, protecting the two of them in the middle.

However, the earthen walls were of no use against the seemingly endless chains and monsters.

Her defenses crumbled quickly.

"Su Lan, run!" Tia instinctively spread her arms and blocked Su Lan's way.

Tia realized that this was not a normal dream at all; someone had invaded her dream!

And Su Lan in the dream is probably real!

Tia knew she probably couldn't escape, but Su Lan still had a chance!

As long as her mind breaks down first, the dream will naturally cease to exist, and Su Lan will be able to return!

With this thought in mind, Tia's eyes hardened, and she stepped forward to meet the chains.

Su Lan, however, pulled Tia back.

Instead of backing away, he pulled Tia behind him and pressed his other hand against the burning scales between his eyebrows.

"Rejection!"

hum!

A light blue barrier suddenly unfolded, centered on Su Lan.

In reality, its weak ability to only repel pollution is now displaying an extremely terrifying power of domination.

The chains that filled the sky and the fleshy monsters that pounced upon the barrier exploded into a shower of light without any resistance the moment they touched it.

Within a 100-meter radius, all anomalies were swept away.

Kahn's laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by an expression of utter disbelief.

"You...you actually found a way to transcend the ordinary, why?"

His face suddenly contorted, and he roared like a monster, "Why not me? Why isn't it me who's extraordinary?!"

A series of fine explosions came from Kahn, whose body was covered in a mist of blood.

The blood mist rapidly gathered, and a phantom figure tens of meters tall appeared and disappeared behind him.

An indescribable sense of oppression washed over me.

Su Lan could still hold on, but she felt her blood boiling.

Tia's body could no longer hold on; she was covered in blood, and her snow-white fur was stained bright red.

But Tia was fully conscious. Watching Su Lan single-handedly stop the monsters flying everywhere, she felt incredibly at ease.

It seems that as long as Su Lan is by her side, there is nothing that can harm her.

Su Lan felt that this thing would be difficult to fight.

but……

Looking at the increasingly solidified and terrifying phantom, he did not retreat, but instead revealed a playful smile.

Soon after entering the dream, Su Lan sensed something unusual:

The details in the dream are disappearing little by little; something is "stealing" them!

Seeing that Su Lan was still persisting, Kahn's face grew even more ferocious: "Useless, useless, useless! The Moon Goddess is about to descend, obediently offer everything! You'll be able to pay homage..."

Before Kahn could finish speaking, Su Lan interrupted him and shouted towards the sky:

"Your snacks are ready! If you don't come out soon, the chef will be eaten!"

"Snacks? What snacks? What nonsense are you spouting?" Kahn's face stiffened, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

The entire dream suddenly began to shake violently.

"Shut up...you big, pig-like worm!"

A lazy yawn drifted from the blood-red sky, carrying extreme displeasure:

"Don't you know it's impolite to disturb someone while they're eating their dessert?"

Immediately afterwards, a furry claw that blotted out the sky tore through the blood moon.

"Return the Moon Goddess? Can that thing even be called a god?"

The claws traced the path of starlight, and the world fell silent, leaving only the crunching sound of chewing in the void.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" The girl's voice suddenly turned disgusted.

"It's awful! It's all junk food, nowhere near as good as the desserts you two made earlier!"

She paused, her voice tinged with anticipation:

"Um, do you guys still want to continue? I can help you get back into the zone..."

Su Lan was stunned.

So he wasn't a chef, but a pastry chef?
