After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Dreaming of

"It’s nothing," Mu Chengzhu said, fixing his gaze firmly on Yun Shifei. "But Shi Fei, can you tell me why you dislike me so much?"

It felt like sentencing a death row inmate without ever telling them what crime they had committed.

Mu Chengzhu felt utterly wronged.

Yun Shifei knew this wasn’t the first time Mu Chengzhu had asked her this question. Each time, she avoided answering because she had no idea how to reasonably explain her rebirth.

After thinking it over, Yun Shifei said, "I had a dream before. In the dream, you killed me."

She offered this casual explanation, hoping to mask her rebirth as part of an absurd dream, making Mu Chengzhu think she was crazy and leave her alone.

Little did she expect that when Mu Chengzhu heard her mention the dream, he suddenly grasped her shoulders. "You dreamed it too?"

Yun Shifei jerked in surprise, forcefully escaping his grip and taking two steps back.

Can’t we just talk properly without getting physical?

Realizing his overreaction, Mu Chengzhu quickly apologized. "I’m sorry."

"It’s just that I also had a dream before, and it seemed so absurd that I wasn’t sure if I should even bring it up."

"What kind of dream?" Yun Shifei asked, not yet aware of the gravity of the situation, since she’d just made up her "dream" moments ago.

The next moment, the situation took a bizarre turn.

"Well, for a few nights, I kept having similar dreams. In those dreams, you liked me, but I liked Yun Sisi..." Mu Chengzhu hesitated, seemingly embarrassed. "Later, I killed you because of Yun Sisi."

Initially, Yun Shifei’s expression suggested she was merely humoring his story. But by the end, she couldn’t help but lift her head sharply to look at Mu Chengzhu, her face betraying undeniable shock. "Are you serious?"

"Yes," Mu Chengzhu confirmed with a nod.

"How did you kill me?"

"We argued... and in the heat of the moment, I accidentally pushed you off a building."

At that moment, Yun Shifei’s heart pounded violently, and she felt the whole situation was surreal and eerie.
