Chapter 1691 - 1692: On the Brink of Collapse

Ling Yiyi rarely showed humility for once, but then her tone turned serious: "But it's okay, I'll go back and read some books these few days, I should figure it out." Lin Xian's face immediately turned dark.

He wasn't sure if Ling Yiyi was deliberately boasting or if she was being sincere. Lin Xian said helplessly, "Sister Ling, if we wait a few days, Qin Shi's grave might as well have grass growing on it."

"That's true!"

Ling Yiyi nodded, thinking it made a lot of sense.

Not sleeping for seven days has already pushed her body's functions to the brink of collapse, and it's also a huge burden on the mind.

If it drags on further, Qin Shi might end up kicking the bucket.

"Sister Ling, why don't we go see Qin Shi first, and find a way to let her sleep normally," Lin Xian suggested.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yiyi waved her hand and said, "No use, I've already tried these past few days." Lin Xian laughed and said, "Isn't there still me?"

"You?"

Ling Yiyi glanced at him, her disdain evident, and taunted: "Little Brother Lin, with your half-baked psychology level, you can at most fool my daughter, that silly little girl stuck with a mom like this, it's not easy." After a silent moment of condolence for Ling Youyu in his heart, Lin Xian retorted, "Sister Ling, there's no rule that only you can be a straight-A student, right?"

Ling Yiyi suddenly got interested and grinned, "Come on, show me what you've got."

"How do you want to test?"

A cunning smile lingered on Lin Xian's lips.

Ling Yiyi leaned back slightly, folded her arms across her chest, and relaxedly said, "Alright then, I'll give you ten minutes to hypnotize me! Just a shallow hypnosis, okay? That's not too high a demand, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian burst out laughing.

His smile was extraordinarily bright, yet tinged with a hint of mischief.

Seeing this, Ling Yiyi couldn't help but furrow her brows, feeling something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

At this point, Lin Xian had already stopped laughing.

He leaned forward slightly, with a serious expression, and said, "Sister Ling, where do you think you are now?"

"Hmm."

Ling Yiyi was slightly taken aback and then noticed that Lin Xian was gradually becoming blurry in front of her eyes, followed by a sudden feeling of the ground shaking.

At the same time, she faintly heard crisp knocking sounds in her ear.

Clang clang clang!

Slowly opening her eyes, Ling Yiyi's expression appeared a bit dazed.

Seeing her awake, Lin Xian stopped tapping the coffee cup, set down the spoon, and said with a light chuckle, "Sister Ling, you're awake!"

Only then did Ling Yiyi realize, somehow, she had ended up lying on the small round table. Rubbing her face, she picked up the coffee and took a sip of the slightly cool coffee, which invigorated her spirit.

Savoring the coffee in her mouth, she suddenly asked, "How long was I asleep?"

Lin Xian looked at his watch and replied, "One hour and five minutes!"

An hour is enough for a steaming cup of coffee to cool down.

With her impressive IQ, Ling Yiyi quickly comprehended what just occurred in a matter of seconds. Checking over her clothes, she asked with full alert, "Confess honestly, did you do anything bad to me just now?"

"I T M..." Lin Xian almost spat out his coffee.

This is indeed Ling Yiyi; her focus remains so peculiar. Swallowing the coffee in his mouth with effort, Lin Xian explained helplessly, "Rest assured, Sister Ling, you think I'm that kind of person?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Ling Yiyi immediately got dissatisfied, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I'm such a great beauty, hypnotized by you, and you did nothing? What do you mean? Looking down on me, aren't you?"

"This..."

After a brief silence, Lin Xian hesitated and said, "Or… I can hypnotize again and use the chance to do something?" "Beast!"

Ling Yiyi said righteously, feeling exasperated, "I am, after all, the mother of Youyu!"

Hiss!

Lin Xian inhaled sharply, feeling a slight ache in his trigeminal nerve.

At this moment, he understood one truth.

Drama queens are not scary.

But when a straight-A student with high emotional and intelligence quotient becomes a drama queen, that's truly terrifying.

Ling Yiyi had completely woken up by now, her face full of curiosity. She asked with a dash of excitement, "Little Brother Lin, when did you start hypnotizing me?"

"During lunchtime!" Lin Xian answered truthfully.

"Lunchtime?"

Ling Yiyi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

She thought it was after entering the coffee shop, but hadn't expected it to be during lunch.

"Did you start hypnotizing me back then?"

Ling Yiyi raised an eyebrow again, "Little Brother Lin, you indeed have plans for me, 487 truly a beast!"

Lin Xian curled his lips and said, "Sister Ling, can you speak properly?"

"Alright then, I won't tease you anymore!"

Ling Yiyi waved her hand, snapped her fingers towards the bar, and called out, "Xiao Xu, another coffee, same as before."

Recalling the feelings of being hypnotized earlier, Ling Yiyi mused, "It doesn't seem like it was pure hypnosis, it seemed related to dreams."

Lin Xian smiled subtly and nodded, "That's right, I added a small dream while you were in a hypnotic state."

"Dream master?"

Ling Yiyi exclaimed, "You also know the Dream Healing Method?"

Feeling quite satisfied, partly because the current length is still limited, the displayed personality and setup aren't very apparent. However, I believe many have a vague impression in their minds: high intelligence and emotional quotient, super-student, reckless and uninhibited, drama queen attached, trolling daughter.

Secondly, regarding the emotional line between Ling Yiyi and the protagonist, I also want to write something different if possible. In short, I want to play around.

If advancing the storyline using typical romantic drama will ruin the established aura around the character of Ling Yiyi. Alright, no more spoilers!

Indeed a straight-A student, very knowledgeable indeed.

The Dream Healing Method globally is understood by only a handful, most haven't even heard of it.

Even many within the psychology industry aren't very familiar.

Technically speaking, Ling Yiyi is not someone from the industry, yet knowing the Dream Healing Method did surprise Lin Xian a bit.

"Hey!"

Ling Yiyi nudged his arm and asked enthusiastically, "Little Brother Lin, are there any limitations to the dreams you create?"

"Limitations?"

Lin Xian pondered, "Not really any limitations, because I only implant a rough framework into the person's pre-conscious space, the rest relies on the subconscious computing results to fill in."

Ling Yiyi continued asking, "How long can a dream last?"

"That varies for each person, mainly depending on the person's sleep quality. The better the sleep quality, the longer the dream naturally lasts."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yiyi's eyes lit up, hurriedly speaking, "Then implant a dream for me, like an alien civilization invasion, and I unlock the genetic chain, becoming a super body kind of existence. Oh, don't forget to include Youyu as well—what's with that look?"

At this moment, Lin Xian was looking at her with a stare that seemed to say "Are you an idiot?"

"Big sister, you think we're filming a movie? Do you need me to make a Star Destroyer appear in your dream and blast the Earth with one shot?"

Lin Xian was amused by her.

Do you really think the Dream Healing Method is like filming a movie?

Ling Yiyi quickly got dissatisfied, sneering, "Aren't you all called dream masters?"

"You can't fulfill such a small request?"

"Such a small request?" Lin Xian's face was full of confusion.

Alien civilization invasion and still a small request?

"If I take it seriously, wouldn't I have to break through dimensions and bring out some void creatures?" Just tell me whether you can do it!" Ling Yiyi said, pouting.
