Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1293 - 385: [Awakening from the Dream]_3
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
Who is that woman anyway?
How could she not want such a good man?
So rich, so young, so handsome, and damn it, so deeply in love with you!
Yeah, the key thing is, he’s so rich!
Even with this, they broke up? She left?
What kind of person is she looking for?
Even Juzi thought, if this guy named Chen Yan really fell for her, she’d be willing to retire from the world, and live a life as a wealthy housewife, cooking soup and meals!
After all, he’s so rich!
But that woman actually didn’t want him, actually broke up with him?
Hey, no way!
Could it be... she’s gone?
Shit! The deceased "white moonlight," that’s an unbeatable force.
Juzi bit her lip and looked at Chen Yan, who was sitting next to her, and felt a surge of determination in her heart.
No way! I must wear him down!
Men, if you wear them down, eventually, you’ll break them!
No matter how hard it is, you have to persist!
After all, he’s so rich!
Looking again at Chen Yan, his eyes were already a bit dazed — but Juzi didn’t feel like she had an opportunity.
She tried last night, Chen Yan seemed drunk, his eyes dazed, but whenever she tried to overstep, his eyes would suddenly clear up completely, and he’d look at her with that calm, unshakable gaze.
Just like...
Juzi suddenly had a flash of insight!
This man, it’s like he’s playing script murder, an immersive script murder.
In the game, he’s deeply involved in the feelings.
But once someone interrupts, pulls him out of the game, he’s not that character anymore!
Seeing Chen Yan raise a glass of wine to his mouth, Juzi sighed and was about to pick up the bottle to pour him more wine — a maid is a maid after all.
But at this moment...
Suddenly, a figure walked over to Juzi and Chen Yan.
Juzi felt herself enveloped by the person standing in front of her, smelled the delightful fragrance, and looked up...
Juzi was on high alert!!
Such a "stunning" woman!!
With a long dress, it didn’t look like a major brand, but the cut was extremely careful, probably some haute couture?
Her earrings and the necklace around her neck, all matched, the sapphire blue was very real, clearly high-end stuff.
Juzi instinctively straightened her back, instantly entering a reactive combat mode!
But then, she wilted.
Looking at that face, just two words: stunning! And gorgeously stunning! It’s the kind of elegant stunning! The kind of stunning that once a man looks, he can’t tear his eyes away!
Then the chest! Damn, bigger than mine!
Then the waist! Damn, slimmer than mine!
Then the legs, damn, longer than mine!
Juzi was dumbfounded!
Is this figure even possible in the three-dimensional world?!
This glamorous woman, with a slender hand, pressed down on the wine glass in Chen Yan’s hand, her face carried an expression that seemed very affectionate, yet with a hint of blame, especially when she looked at Chen Yan with eyes seemingly filled with watery tenderness, as affectionate as could be.
"Chen Yan, don’t drink anymore."
Hmm, her voice was nice too, soft, with a slight nasal tone.
The enemy!
She’s the enemy!!
Juzi’s mind was blaring with crisis signals like an air raid alarm!

Chen Yan raised his head, glanced at Chu Keqing standing in front of him, and wasn’t surprised by her appearance. He just curled his lips and smiled faintly, "You’re here, huh? How did you find this place?"
Chu Keqing sighed softly, "These days, you’ve been with a girl going around town, eating and having fun, and someone from the academy saw and told me."
With a pause, she said softly, "I’ve been secretly watching you for three days, but you told me not to disturb you. Today, I just couldn’t hold back."
Chen Yan said nothing, just quietly looked at Chu Keqing.
Chu Keqing glanced at Juzi sitting beside him, the young girl was puffing up her cheeks, clearly unhappy. Chu Keqing pursed her lips, nodded, "She resembles a bit, but..."
She looked back at Chen Yan, "Are you making yourself so despondent over a substitute?"
Chen Yan shook his head, "You don’t understand."
"I understand." Chu Keqing bit her lip hard, speaking with a tremble in her voice, "If you really feel horrible and need to find a woman to accompany you, why not choose me?
You know very well how I feel about you!
Choosing me would be better than someone like her, right? At least, I’m sincere with you!"
Upon hearing this, Juzi became indignant!
"Hey! Miss, what do you mean by that? You’re sincere, so everyone else is insincere? Who are you trying to criticize? With so many people here, you’re talking about my boyfriend..."
Before finishing her sentence, Chu Keqing frowned and glanced at Juzi, suddenly raising her hand to lightly tap Juzi on the shoulder.
Juzi: "..."
She felt her whole body stiffen, even her throat froze, unable to squeeze a word out.
Chen Yan watched and sighed quietly.
He slowly stood up, faced Chu Keqing, and smiled calmly.
"Okay, I know you’re upset, but there’s no need to make things difficult for someone uninvolved," he said, casually patting Juzi, who suddenly felt her body relax.
However, she didn’t dare speak, casting a fearful gaze at Chen Yan and then at Chu Keqing, swallowing hard.
"Alright, I’ll go with you, let’s leave here." Chen Yan smiled at Chu Keqing and swiftly walked out of the booth.
Chu Keqing sighed in relief and followed.
Juzi, who was seated on the sofa, hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to get up and catch up.
"Chen, um... Teacher Xiao Chen! Are you just leaving like this?"
Chen Yan paused, turned back to look at Juzi, thought for a moment, walked closer, and smiled: "Alright, you know deep down, so I don’t need to explain too clearly.
These days you can consider this as participating in a game. Now the game is over.
After all, you didn’t suffer any loss, nor did I take advantage of you, and you received a considerable fee for playing along."
He said as he patted Juzi’s shoulder, "Farewell in the rivers and lakes."
After speaking, he turned around and left quickly with Chu Keqing.
He didn’t say much more.
No words of advice to the other, to not continue such a life... Such idle talk, Chen Yan wouldn’t say.
He’s not one to advise the virtuous to descend into the ocean, or the prostitute to reform.
Everyone has their own way of living; each chooses for themselves and is responsible for their own life.
Watching as Teacher Xiao Chen left without looking back with that woman.
Juzi felt as though the dream that lasted a week now... woke up.

After leaving the night venue, Chen Yan didn’t go to the parking lot to retrieve a car but wandered along the road in random directions.
Chu Keqing remained silent, following closely beside Chen Yan, the heels of her shoes clicking "da da, da da" on the nighttime streets.
After walking a few hundred meters, Chen Yan finally stopped, glanced at Chu Keqing, and smiled: "Don’t your feet hurt?"
Chu Keqing snorted, decisively gritting her teeth, removing her shoes, and standing barefoot on the ground.
"If you want to walk, I’ll walk with you, as far as you wish, accompanying you as long as you want."
While speaking, her eyes stared straight at Chen Yan.
At this moment, Chu Keqing had mostly confirmed one thing: Lu Sisi has likely truly left!
Chen Yan sighed, his tone a bit more serious.
"Actually, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not as you imagined, hurt and seeking women for solace. That’s not it."
"Then these days, you’ve been..."
"Refining Heart."
Chu Keqing furrowed her brow.
Chen Yan looked up at the night sky and softly said, "Breaking through the Mental Realm, overcoming greed, anger, delusion... Primordial Spirit fulfilled... Keqing ah."
He suddenly softly called out Chu Keqing’s name.
Chu Keqing’s body trembled, looking at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan smiled, standing beneath the night sky on the street corner.
"I, perhaps, am about to cross the tribulation. The tribulation of the Third Realm, once past, becomes Celestial Being."
Chu Keqing suddenly changed color!
"Isn’t it said that this world cannot have anyone beyond the Celestial Human Realm?"
Chu Keqing asked in a low voice.
Chen Yan sighed softly, "Indeed... as decreed by the Heavenly Dao, this world shall not have anyone beyond the Celestial Human Realm. But..."
After a pause, he looked at Chu Keqing with a smile.
"...I think, maybe I can."

[Truth be told, I actually quite like writing characters like Juzi; such roles are rather interesting to write, though ultimately they are only transitional minor characters. A few strokes like now are sufficient, without too much involvement.]
