Chapter 364 An Endless Dream
After their usual playful banter, it was already noon.
After eating and drinking her fill, Amber, who had been training Windwing all morning, began to yawn uncontrollably and felt drowsy.
The little rabbit, without any hesitation, skillfully lay down on the grass, rested its head on Mu Feng's legs, and stretched lazily.
Even scout knights need to steal... uh, rest.
Mu Feng gently rubbed her head and adjusted his position slightly to make the little girl more comfortable.
Incidentally, he also added a necessary warning.
"You idiot Amber, if you dare to drool again this time, I'll deduct three months' worth of honey-glazed carrot and pork from your diet."
Upon hearing this, the girl, who was enjoying being patted on the head, immediately frowned, pouted, and her large chestnut brown eyes were full of resentment.
It's just that she accidentally slept a little too soundly last time, and she even reluctantly accepted a plate of fried meat as compensation in the end.
However, how much of that fried meat ended up in the girl's stomach is something you should ask Barbatos.
She's decided, she wants a day... half a day... okay, an hour... never mind, she'll ignore this blockhead for ten minutes!
Amber covered her ears and turned to the other side, refusing to be touched.
Not understanding why the girl in his arms had suddenly become sullen, Mu Feng scratched the back of his head and helplessly shrugged.
Don't try to guess what a girl is thinking; my drinking buddies never lie.
Amber ignored him. The little rabbit bared its teeth whenever it got close. Helpless, Mu Feng had no choice but to lean against the fruit tree and close his eyes.
With the wind blowing in his face, he slowly fell asleep.
Perhaps because he was too tired, he had another dream.
The sound of dripping water continued, growing louder as it approached.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, like tapping on a throbbing lake of the heart.
No, no! This time, I heard it much more clearly!
The viscous, stagnant sound—perhaps it wasn't the sound of water.
The darkness deepened, and the rusty railings reappeared, the moss now a rotten gray-black.
The sound of metal rubbing together, clanging and clattering, came as the wheels rolled along the uneven road, where a stretch of white hung down from the black.
The flames started from the white area, but the fire itself was black.
When my head was throbbing, it felt like something pulled me away, and the darkness instantly vanished, leaving me far behind.
Above us, a sky full of dazzling stars appeared.
Bandages covered in scorch marks, but... when?
The fire started again, and a voice told him to run.
Don't look back... Don't look back...
He didn't have time to think; he just felt himself gripping someone's hand tightly.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his wrist. The burning bandage transformed into a venomous snake, its fiery fangs viciously piercing his palm.
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet gave way to nothing, but he couldn't grab onto anything.
A dizzying feeling of weightlessness followed, then I was surrounded by the fishy smell of water, and my lungs ached from the pressure; it was the smell of death.
In the dim light, he saw black flames burning across the water, and suffocation was gradually consuming his consciousness.
His lips moved, but he only exhaled a silent bubble.
After an unknown amount of time, in a daze, a voice slowly became clearer, getting closer and closer.
"Brother Mufeng! Wake up, wake up, what's wrong with you?!"
"Don't scare me! Wake up! At worst... at worst I won't steal your fried meat next time! Wake up!"
Mu Feng struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, and a sliver of light shone in. Before him was Amber's anxious and flustered little face.
The sunlight stung my eyes, and tears welled up in my eyes.
The clothes leaning against the sunset fruit tree behind me were soaked as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
It happened again... I had that dream again... Something's not right.
Mu Feng struggled to raise his hand, his head throbbing badly, not at all like someone who had just taken a nap.
Moreover, the aches and pains throughout his body and the throbbing in his head reminded him that his condition seemed to be worsening.
Now he is certain that, aside from the fact that it recurs repeatedly, this is definitely not an ordinary nightmare.
Side effects of the medication...
What kind of illness did he have before?
Amber seemed unaware that Mu Feng had woken up, still holding his shoulder and shaking him with all her might.
Well, this might also be related to the little girl's violent wake-up service.
Mu Feng raised his hand and struggled to grasp Amber's wrist.
"Idiot Amber, stop shaking. I have a legitimate reason to suspect that you're taking revenge on someone else's behalf, and I have evidence."
His relaxed tone sounded like he had just woken up, and there was no obvious difference from his usual demeanor.
Of course, this was the result of his desperate struggle against the waves of dizziness that surged through his mind.
The girl froze, and the sound of her crying caught in her throat.
After a moment of confusion, the little girl's face immediately turned red.
Angry.
All her worries vanished instantly, the rabbit hair accessory on the girl's head popped up, and her little face puffed up round.
Is she really that stingy? At most... at most she'll just sneak a few extra pieces of honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry!
"Brother Mufeng is the idiot, I was so worried about you for nothing!"
The embarrassed and annoyed girl angrily shook Mu Feng's shoulder, and Mu Feng stuck out his tongue in response, making Amber laugh through her tears again.
The tense atmosphere finally eased, and after the playful fight, the exhausted little rabbit lay back in Mu Feng's arms.
"Don't worry, it was just a nightmare."
Mu Feng reached out and wiped away the tears from the little girl's eyes, gently patted her back, and comforted her softly once again.
"Waaah... Don't scare me, I'll worry..."
Amber muttered a few words in a sullen voice, then bit Mu Feng's shoulder in retaliation before burying her head back down.
She was genuinely terrified.
His face looked so pale, and his hands were so cold.
No, it's definitely not just a nightmare.
"No, Brother Mufeng, come with me to the West Wind Church."
The girl, who was becoming increasingly agitated, broke free from Mu Feng's embrace, grabbed his hand, and stared intently into his eyes.
She was still a little worried.
Amber knew Mufeng well; he always presented a perfect image to the outside world—the perfect knight, the perfect older brother, the perfect friend—and you could hardly ever see his vulnerable side.
But it is precisely because of this that she is even more worried.
Mu Feng helplessly shrugged. He knew that An Bo was serious, and once she made up her mind, not even nine-headed beasts could pull her back.
At this point, he needed to find a way to get through it, and he would rather go back two days and fight Falga again.
"Alright, if you insist, Amber."
If it's just a side effect of the medication, the situation might not be too bad, but if that's not the case...
Sigh... These are turbulent times...
Amber didn't even bother to clean up the remaining Windwings; she hurriedly dragged Mufeng and ran towards Mondstadt.
"Hey, Amber, slow down."
"No! No! Brother Mufeng, hurry up!"
