Night settled over the Grand Assembly like a heavy blanket.
Most sects were asleep.
Some meditated.
Others whispered about Dustwind Sect's terrifying martial arts.
Dustwind Sect, meanwhile, was…
Peaceful.
Aurelius purified the moonlight.
Elder Orchid corrected disciples' sleeping posture.
Auntie Bao sterilized the night breeze.
And Miyu?
Wrapped in a soft blanket, hugging her pillow,
she slept on a perfectly polished mat…
Radiating a soft, elegant, terrifying serenity.
Disciples whispered:
"Never disturb her sleep."
"NEVER."
"I heard a clan was annihilated because she twitched in her sleep."
"…I believe it."

⭐ 1. The Demon Assassin Arrives
A crack split open in the sky.
Black miasma seeped into the arena.
A tall demon emerged, cloaked in abyssal plates and killing intent.
A Shadow Executor — a top assassin of the Abyss Demon Lords.
He scanned the area with cold cruelty.
"…Found her."
He set foot on the ground silently.
Every plant withered.
Every insect died.
His target:
The sleeping girl.
Miyu.

⭐ 2. Dustwind Notices Too Late
Aurelius's eyes flashed—
"Intruder."
Elder Orchid stiffened.
"His posture… is murder."
Auntie Bao flinched.
"Grand-baby—!"
But the demon moved FIRST.
SHWIP—!!!
He flashed behind Miyu with speed no human could track.
His claw aimed straight at her heart.
"DIE, CHILD."

⭐ 3. The Fatal Mistake
His attack grazed Miyu's blanket.
Just a touch.
A tiny vibration.
A microscopic disturbance.
To anyone else?
Nothing.
To Miyu?
A catastrophe.
Her fingers twitched.
Her pillow shifted.
A faint murmur escaped her lips:
"…five minutes… more…"
The wind froze.
The moon trembled.
Aurelius turned pale.
Auntie Bao's soul left her body.
Elder Orchid whispered:
"…He awakened her."
Dustwind disciples screamed:
"NOOOOO—NOT THE SLEEP-WALKING—!!!"
The demon blinked.
"…What?"
---
⭐ 4. The Sleep-Walking Calamity Awakens
Miyu slowly rose to her feet—
eyes closed,
hair floating,
pillow still in hand.
A soft, emotionless voice escaped her lips:
"…Dirty thing…"
The demon stepped back instinctively.
"W-What… pressure… is this…?!"
The air warped around Miyu.
Not from killing intent—
but from an overwhelming, pure CLEAN aura.
A floral scent.
A soft glow.
Heaven itself shimmering.
"…Sleep… mode…"
She began walking.
Slowly.
Gracefully.
Toward the demon.
Each step sent cracks across the ground.
---
⭐ 5. The Assassin Panics
The demon swung his blade.
"ABYSSAL SHADOW BURIAL—!!"
Miyu, eyes still closed, casually lifted her pillow—
FWUMP—
The pillow absorbed the entire demonic attack
and purified the miasma instantly.
The demon shrieked.
"THAT PILLOW IS A HOLY ARTIFACT—?!"
Miyu mumbled:
"…Stop… being noisy…"
She flicked her pillow lightly.
TAP—
A gentle tap.
The demon was blasted through ten trees, three boulders, and a pavilion.
Half the Assembly shook.
Murim world panicked.
---
⭐ 6. Dustwind Sect Scrambles to Control the Disaster
Aurelius sprinted.
"MASTER MIYU'S SLEEP-WALKING MODE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!
PROTECT EVERYONE!"
Elder Orchid cracked his whip.
"Block her path!
If she sleep-kicks someone, they may ascend or die!"
Auntie Bao prayed.
"Please sweetie, don't purify the entire Assembly…"
But Miyu continued walking—
Right toward the demon trying to crawl away.
Her pillow glowed faint gold.
"…messy…"
She raised it.
The demon sobbed.
"NO—WAIT—LET ME SPEAK—"
PAAAAAANG—!!!
One pillow slap.
A crater the size of a house appeared.
The demon lay twitching, armor shattered, soul nearly gone.
---
⭐ 7. The Golden Spark Returns (Solene)
As Miyu prepared another sleepy strike
the air behind her shimmered—
A golden spark glowed brightly.
A faint silhouette formed.
A girl's voice whispered gently:
"Master…
Don't push yourself…"
Solene.
Her presence radiated warm, heavenly light.
Miyu's expression softened mid-sleep.
"…Sol…?"
Auntie Bao gasped.
Aurelius froze.
Elder Orchid fell over.
Lazy-chan screamed:
"NOOOO—SHE'S ABOUT TO REMEMBER—!!!"
The golden spark faded fast—
the seal holding her memories shaking violently.
Miyu swayed.
"…warm…"
She collapsed gently into Aurelius's arms.
---
⭐ 8. The Assassin's Fate
Auntie Bao pointed her mop at the twitching demon.
"You picked the WRONG Sect, filth."
Aurelius raised his sword.
"Attempting to harm Master Miyu requires… purification."
Elder Orchid cracked his whip.
"For disturbing her sleep,
you deserve corrective action."
The demon tried to flee.
"No—NO—PLEASE—!!"
Dustwind replied in unison:
"No."
BOOOOOOM—!!!!
The demon vanished.
Cleanly.
---
⭐ 9. Murim's Shock
When the dust settled—
The entire Assembly stared in horror.
Dustwind disciples bowed.
"Miyu has returned to deep sleep."
Other sects whispered:
"She fought… in her sleep…"
"No—she demolished a demon assassin…"
"I saw her purify a technique just by existing…"
"That pillow is more powerful than our patriarch…"
"Dustwind… is… a nightmare…"
Even arrogant sects trembled.
A Celestial Tyrant elder muttered:
"Pray she never naps near our clan…"
