CHAPTER 1789: CHAPTER 1783: FULFILLING MY PROMISE 3

"Surprise? What surprise?" Dairya asked in confusion, but upon seeing Tang Ye, the gloom in her heart disappeared instantly.

Tang Ye wore a mysterious smile, gently patting her little head, and said, "I haven’t forgotten my promise to you."

"Mr. Pillay, could it be that... you’ve found the Dream Forest?" Dairya thought of something.

"Of course, nothing is without a reason. If it’s written in the book, then it means the things described truly exist."

"Really?" Dairya looked skeptical, but it seemed she had grown a lot during this time.

"Let’s go, I should take you there to see it. It’s truly beautiful, and I believe you’ll fall in love with that place."

Tang Ye patted her shoulder and invited Dairya into the house. At that moment, she felt like it was her first time entering there, her eyes scanning around, quickly spotting the extra door in the shop, and her expression turned into one of disbelief!

"That door..."

"Open that door, and beyond it is the Dream Forest."

"Wow~ Mr. Pillay, what will it be like inside?"

"You should see for yourself. There’s no need to ask me because one’s own feelings are more real than anyone else’s answers."

"Then let’s go in quickly." Saying that, Dairya was impatient to run towards the door, but Tang Ye stopped her.

"Wait a moment."

"What’s the matter, Mr. Pillay?"

"I have to give you a gift." Tang Ye walked calmly back into the shop, moving to the bookshelf at the far end, and took out the book "Hepney’s Dream Forest," then handed it to Dairya.

"I..." Seeing the book, Dairya hesitated, unsure if she should accept it, but Tang Ye didn’t care about that. He directly took her hand and placed the book in it.

"Don’t refuse, it’s my token of appreciation for you, and it would be impolite to reject it."

"But..."

Dairya looked at the book in her hand, then looked at Tang Ye, feeling a bit at a loss. Finally, she remembered something and reached into her pocket to take out her money, saying to Tang Ye: "Mr. Pillay, this is... money..." Saying this, her cheeks turned red, knowing that the money she had was far from enough to buy the book.

Tang Ye shook his head, didn’t take the money, and just said, "I’m not doing this for money. Just accept it; the book is already yours."

After finishing, he didn’t give the other party a chance to say more, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "Alright, it’s time for me to fulfill my promise."

"Okay then."

Tang Ye, with a face full of smiles, opened the door in front of him. A purple corridor began to extend forward, soon revealing a delicately arranged room at the end. The sight left Dairya with her mouth open wide. She curiously touched the walls of the corridor. To her, it was so magical that she couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment with words.

She was no longer concerned about whether she should accept Tang Ye’s book, and at that moment, Tang Ye made a gesture of "please."

"Mr. Pillay, is that really the Dream Forest over there?"

"Of course, you’ll know when you get there. Let’s go."

Dairya took her first step and entered through the door, with Tang Ye following behind. But as the door closed automatically, his brow furrowed because he saw from both sides of the corridor many dark, thin skeletal hands reaching out, desperately trying to grab Dairya!

Tang Ye instinctively raised his hand to stop Dairya from going forward, but in the next second, he lowered it. These skeletal hands seemed unable to touch Dairya, nor could they touch him?

He watched these skeletal hands continually pass through Dairya’s body, sweeping over her, but her expression remained excited, as if she couldn’t see these hands. Perhaps only he could?

After a few steps, Dairya noticed Tang Ye didn’t follow and looked back.

"Mr. Pillay?"

"Hmm? Oh, I’m coming." Hesitating for a moment, Tang Ye caught up. Indeed, when these hands touched him, he felt nothing. They passed right through his body, desperately trying to stop Dairya from proceeding, but their efforts were to no avail.

Finally, Dairya stepped out through the door and into an old woman’s house. At some unknown time, it was surrounded by a variety of small animals like squirrels, boars, and rabbits, all sitting, lying, and standing around as if they were having a party. Outside, there were many larger animals like tigers, hippos, and elephants. When Dairya saw this scene, her eyes widened, and all the animals looked at Dairya at the same time, with various emotional expressions, surprised, curious...

It wasn’t until Tang Ye came out that an unknown voice shouted: "Run!"

Suddenly, the house became chaotic, with the small animals that were originally gathered there desperately running outside, and Dairya also shouted: "You are so cute!" as she chased the little animals.

No matter how fast the animals ran, eventually, a fat squirrel was caught by Dairya and embraced in a hug!

She gave the fat squirrel a big kiss, and her small hands petted the fluffy head back and forth, then she looked at Tang Ye.

"Mr. Pillay, look!" she said happily, and Tang Ye also looked at the unfortunate fat squirrel, especially taking note of its dumbfounded little eyes, making him laugh uncontrollably, yet he said nothing. The small animals that successfully ran outside stopped at this moment, perhaps realizing that Dairya meant no harm.

"Everyone, don’t run. She seems to mean no harm."

"Really? Witch Grandma said humans would eat us."

"But Witch Grandma also said there are good and bad humans. The bad would eat us, but the good wouldn’t."

"So is she a good human?"

"We don’t know..."

"..."

Outside, the animals chattered noisily. Before long, some bold small animals came closer, observing Dairya, while she also observed them. Their words entered her ears, making her even more excited.

"You can talk?!"

"Of course, we can talk!"

"Wow!"

"Hello! I’m Jin Jin. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Dairya!"

"I’m Dandan!"

"Nice to meet you all!"

Dairya quickly became familiar with these animals, and as they introduced themselves to her, outside a dragon flew by, with a roar quickly grabbing her attention.

"Wow! There really are dragons! This is truly the Dream Forest!"

"This is the Dream Forest."

"..." Tang Ye looked at Dairya, immersed in happiness, his smile gradually brightened. In the sunlight, she now resembled a princess. The unresolved past in her heart dissipated at this moment, with all negative things disappearing, leaving only those associated with beauty - a scent named "sweet dreams."

As Dairya frolicked with the animals, an old woman weaving clothes laughed and spoke.

"Child, come over, I have something to give you."
