Chapter 670: Chapter 670: The Missing Three Months

Ning Mansion, inside Ning Mengyao’s fragrant boudoir.

Looking at Ni Chang sitting there with furrowed brows, Ning Mengyao still felt somewhat dazed.

But soon, she also noticed something was amiss.

The current Ni Chang dressed very conservatively, and every move she made carried a sense of efficiency and stability.

This was completely different from Zhao Jiaqi’s bold dressing style, and the more Ning Mengyao observed, the bigger the difference became.

"Has Lin Fan been like this ever since he came back?"

After taking his pulse, Ni Chang finally turned her head and looked at Ning Mengyao.

"Yes, Mr. Xue from Medicine King Valley and his master have said that his soul has fallen into chaos, and in these past three months, he hasn’t eaten or drunk yet hasn’t had any problems at all," Ning Mengyao hurriedly nodded in response.

"No other strange occurrences?"

Ni Chang continued inquiring.

"Strange occurrences... there seems to be none... he just sleeps like this every day, unconscious, and I haven’t found anything odd," Ning Mengyao thought for a moment but could only shake her head.

The only odd thing was her near-realistic dreamland.

But that probably had nothing to do with Lin Fan.

"When a soul falls into chaos, it is seeking something. In such times, unless he wakes up himself, external forces are hardly of any help, but I actually have a method that we might try."

Ni Chang sighed softly, her spirit in this Chaos Period had long escaped common understanding.

"So, what do we need to prepare?"

Hearing that Ni Chang had a method, Ning Mengyao immediately widened her eyes excitedly.

This might be the best news she had heard in three months.

"We indeed need some things, but I will have someone prepare them. Tomorrow should be the night of the full moon, so we can indeed try to see if it works then... For now, you guys rest," Ni Chang said as she prepared to stand and leave.

After all, she was not good with words and wasn’t familiar with Ning Mengyao.

"Don’t go... just stay at my house. Besides, I can’t sleep anyway. Let’s chat for a while," Ning Mengyao quickly blocked Ni Chang’s path, knowing that she was Lin Fan’s confidante using Zhao Jiaqi’s body; she couldn’t possibly let her leave so late at night.

Little did she know that this kind act would indeed be a great help.

"Um... I’m not very good at chatting... If I don’t speak well, please don’t take offense," unlike Zhao Jiaqi’s fiery enthusiasm, Ni Chang as the Holy Maiden, was very reserved.

Before coming here, she knew that Ning Mengyao was Lin Fan’s official wife. No matter how prestigious her own status was, in Lin Fan’s regard, Ning Mengyao was the rightful mistress, so Ni Chang unexpectedly felt a bit nervous.

"Not at all. I’ve heard about you from Jiaqi. She mentioned that you usually dwell in an underground dwelling and can’t move freely, so you need to borrow her body to come up, is that correct?" Ning Mengyao smiled and sat beside Ni Chang, directly taking her hand.

As the leader of the harem, she possessed an absolute charisma.

Even Lu Feifei, who grew up on the streets, couldn’t help but admire her for this trait.

"You’re not suspecting that Zhao Jiaqi has a dual personality, are you?" Ni Chang could also feel Ning Mengyao’s sincerity.

During their time in the Heavenly Cave, Zhao Jiaqi had also mentioned this matter.

"Of course not, although you are using Zhao Jiaqi’s body, I can feel that you are completely different from her."

Ning Mengyao smiled and said, "But she’s been gone for three months, I thought something had happened."

"Indeed, some issues did arise which made my arrival late."

Ni Chang then roughly recounted the events of the past three months.

From Jiangning to the Heavenly Cave, it took just over two days, and Zhao Jiaqi arrived there successfully, only to hear that Ni Chang had entered seclusion, and no one knew when she would emerge.

The entire Heavenly Cave was being managed by people from the Five Veins with the ten billion in funds obtained by Lin Fan, and the reconstruction had already begun and was progressing smoothly. Zhao Jiaqi wanted to return but was afraid of missing Ni Chang coming out of seclusion, so she decided to stay temporarily and helped with the reconstruction work in the meantime.

Fortunately, Ni Chang, unable to let go of her worries about the reconstruction, came out of seclusion half a month later, but when she heard about Lin Fan’s situation, she didn’t rush over immediately because she felt helpless about Zhao Jiaqi’s situation, and thus went to the Heavenly Cave’s library.

This library was built in the rock layer beneath the Holy Maiden Hall, so it had not been damaged in the previous calamity, and originally only the Holy Maiden could enter, but this time, to find a cure for Lin Fan, Ni Chang made an exception and took Zhao Jiaqi with her.

However, among tens of thousands of books, they searched for a full month without a clue, their vast knowledge reserve had not one method to cure Lin Fan. At this point of helplessness, Ni Chang decided to enter the Water Moon Illusion Realm again because it concealed a lonely soul, but Ni Chang knew well that the princess of a fallen nation would not easily agree to save the ancestor of the corpses, so she must offer her a deal she couldn’t refuse.

Of course, she never mentioned this to anyone, after all, it was her secret.

So, for the remaining month, the two ventured into the illusion realm again, and having inherited thousands of years of memories, Ni Chang was now able to enter that impossible illusion realm without exhausting her cultivation technique.

"You mean... you found a soul that’s been dead for a thousand years... and got the method?"

Ning Mengyao, listening to Ni Chang’s calm words, truly had her worldview shattered.

Indeed, such outrageous events existed, but none seemed more absurd than this one.

To make a modern person believe that just beneath the ground, not far away, there existed an ancient civilization.

It was indeed strange.

"Indeed, so tomorrow night, I am going to set up the formation and pull Lin Fan back from the Chaos."

Ni Chang nodded slightly, still as calm as water.

But the transaction behind it, even Zhao Jiaqi, who accompanied her to the Water Moon, was unaware of it.

"That’s wonderful."

Hearing this, Ning Mengyao excitedly squeezed her delicate hand.

If there was a chance to save Lin Fan, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Lin Fan is indeed lucky to have a wife like you," Ni Chang said, smiling at Ning Mengyao.

She also couldn’t help but look at Lin Fan, who still had his eyes closed.

The normally mischievous-smiling man now lay quiet as a deeply sleeping child.

Little did he know the great price Ni Chang would have to pay to bring him back.

"His luck is not just me, but us!"

Ning Mengyao looked at Ni Chang with a smile, if she hadn’t been so devoted, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to wake him.

It seemed the heart-stealer had succeeded again.

But just as Ning Mengyao was about to speak further, Ni Chang suddenly covered her mouth.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes shifted towards the window.

"There’s a killing intent!"
