Ian Song hadn’t expected his test subject to be Snow Yue. But since she’d already fallen into the illusion array, he figured he might as well use her to test its power.
Illusion arrays generally have two effects. One is to create the scene the person entering the array most desires—amplifying their deepest wishes.
The other is to magnify the things they fear the most.
Judging from Snow Yue’s expression, she was experiencing her worst fears.
In less than ten breaths, she was completely caught up in it, her face filled with despair.
Seeing this, Ian was honestly shocked. He hadn’t expected that, with Illusory God-Iron added, even a small illusion array could fool an expert like Snow Yue.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly dispelled the array, worried Snow Yue might be trapped too deep to get out.
Even after the array was removed, Snow Yue stood there motionless, her face still full of despair and her eyes vacant.
“Crap!”
Ian cursed inwardly—the power of this illusion array was way beyond what he’d expected.
“Wake up!”
Ian stomped hard on the ground with his right foot.
The next moment, Snow Yue’s eyes slowly regained some light. When she saw Ian, her expression suddenly turned excited, and she threw herself into his arms, murmuring, “Leon, you’re alive! Thank goodness, thank goodness!”
As she spoke, Snow Yue started crying—tears of heartbreak and relief.
Seeing this, Ian realized he’d probably ‘broken’ Snow Yue. He wondered just what kind of scene she’d experienced in the array—and it seemed he’d played a major role in her illusion.
Moved by curiosity, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Snow, it’s okay. Everything you just went through was just an illusion!”
Snow Yue’s body stiffened. She finally came back to herself, hurriedly pulling away from Ian’s embrace and apologizing, “Sorry, Leon—I lost control for a moment!”
Ian quickly said, “It’s fine, really—I should be the one apologizing. I just created a new array and wanted to test its power, so I…!”
Hearing that the array was Ian’s work, Snow Yue’s eyes flashed with deep anger. When she was first pulled into the illusion, she could still stay clear-headed, but slowly she got lost in it—totally forgetting it was fake.
“Leon, you’d better give me an explanation—or I won’t let you off!”
Snow Yue glared fiercely at Ian, but as she looked at his handsome face, she started to get lost in thought. In the illusion, her master had captured her and forced her to marry William Nangong.
Just when she was desperate and helpless, Leon Huang suddenly appeared at Heavenly Melody Sect and rescued her.
After that, the two of them were hunted down by Heavenly Melody Sect and the Military Council working together.
With no other choice, they could only run everywhere together. As they fled, their feelings deepened, and finally, in a broken-down temple, they crossed the last line. They even had a child together in a small mountain village.
But just as their child was born, experts from Heavenly Melody Sect and the Military Council tracked them down—led by William Nangong.
She was weak from childbirth and could only watch as Ian fought desperately.
In the end, Leon Huang was killed by William Nangong himself.
Enraged by her 'betrayal,' William Nangong killed their child too, in cold blood.
Finally, her cultivation was abolished, and William Nangong dragged her back to his mansion as a servant to be humiliated and abused—a life too miserable to bear.
Just when she couldn’t take it anymore and tried to kill herself, Ian suddenly dispelled the array.
If Ian hadn’t removed the array in time, after she committed suicide in the illusion, she would never have woken up.
“Snow, I’m really sorry—I had no idea the array would be so powerful. How about this: as long as you’re not mad, you can punish me however you want!” Ian said sincerely.
Looking at Ian’s face, Snow Yue couldn’t help but remember the illusion where they’d lived together as husband and wife. Her heart softened. “Forget it, you didn’t do it on purpose, so I won’t hold it against you.”
“Thanks, Snow.”
Ian said quickly.
“Leon, there’s no need to be so formal between us!” Snow Yue blurted out. But as soon as she said it, she realized the problem—she was still half-treating Ian as the one from her illusion.
“Yeah, we really shouldn’t be so formal!” Ian realized it too, but pretended not to notice. He thought to himself, Snow’s aftereffects seem pretty serious—I’d better find a way to help her recover.
“By the way, Snow, you came to see me today because of William Nangong, right?”
“William Nangong!”
Just hearing that name made Snow Yue grit her teeth. All those scenes from the illusion flashed before her eyes again. Suddenly, she jumped up and rushed out, shouting, “I’m going to kill that bastard William Nangong!”
Ian was shocked and quickly grabbed Snow Yue. “Snow, don’t do anything rash!”
Inside, he seriously regretted using Snow Yue as a test subject for the array.
“Wuwu! Leon!”
Suddenly, Snow Yue threw herself into Ian’s arms. “Our child died at William Nangong’s hands. You have to avenge our baby!”
“Huh? Child?” Ian was stunned. Did he really marry Snow Yue in the illusion just now?
And even have a kid?
Seeing Snow Yue’s tear-streaked, fragile face, Ian realized her condition was worse than he thought. He quickly reminded her, “Snow, it was all fake—don’t let it mess with your head!”
“Ah!”
Snow Yue cried out and snapped back to reality, quickly pulling away from Ian’s arms. But remembering what she’d just said, she wished she could dig a hole and hide—so embarrassing, so awkward.
Suddenly, Ian had an idea. He took out a piece of Illusory God-Iron and pressed it into Snow Yue’s hand. “Snow, keep this with you—it’ll help stabilize your spiritual power!”
“Thanks.”
As soon as she held the Illusory God-Iron, Snow Yue felt a cool energy flow through her body. Her muddled mind instantly became much clearer.
“Leon, I’m not feeling well—I’ll head out first!”
Ian escorted Snow Yue out of the courtyard. He silently swore never to use random people to test arrays again. At the same time, he realized that, with Illusory God-Iron, his arrays were now insanely powerful.
If he used them against the Strongarm Bull Devils, the effect would be amazing.
“Brother Huang, what happened to Sister Snow just now?”
Just then, Lynn Ning walked over.
Ian waved his hand, a bit annoyed. “I just created a new illusion array and wanted someone to test its power. She happened to walk in, and, well… that happened.”
Lynn Ning giggled. “Hehe, Sister Snow definitely likes you—she just said you two had a child together.”
“Little brat, don’t talk nonsense.”
Ian glared at Lynn Ning, clearly annoyed.
