Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2071 - 2060: Community of Shared Destiny

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiaoqing pitifully said, "Brother-in-law. You have to save me tonight. Otherwise, I'll be nagged to death by my sister.""Alright. First, tidy up this place."

Looking at the chaotic mess indoors, Ning Fan had a headache; the damage to furniture and appliances was minor, but the cracks on the walls were difficult to explain.

"There's nothing to explain. Maybe Sis will complete the acquisition today and we can first take over this room and talk later."

"You're really clever."

Ning Fan pinched Xu Xiaoqing's cheek, albeit a bit too hard.

If it weren't for this troublesome sister-in-law, things wouldn't be so passive now.

The atmosphere was somewhat strange in the ensuing time.

If Vivian weren't here, the lovesick Xu Xiaoqing might have already indulged in some naughty games.

But for now, Xu Xiaoqing was staring intensely at Vivian, seemingly wanting to see how a giant dragon could hide beneath such a beautiful façade.

"Hey! You're Vivian, right?"

Seeing Vivian unresponsive, Xu Xiaoqing was displeased, "I'm talking to you."

Vivian was a proud dragon; not just any random being was worth her attention.

"Vivian, this is Xu Xiaoqing, she's my…"

Not considering the monk but considering the Buddha. Ning Fan thought of emphasizing Xu Xiaoqing's relationship with him but stumbled on words and finally said vaguely, "The most important person."

Vivian asked calmly, "Then am I your most important person?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoqing's expression changed, and she slowly said, "Brother-in-law, why aren't you speaking?"

"Um… both are."

"Brother-in-law!"

Ning Fan helplessly said, "Xiaoqing, stop messing around. I made it clear earlier; Vivian and I aren't like you think. Once you see her true form, you'll understand."

"Exactly. We're a community bound by fate, inseparable ties."

"Hiss!"

Ning Fan inhaled sharply, staring at Vivian as if seeing a ghost.

Xu Xiaoqing erupted, "Brother-in-law, listen to her! Is this human language? Community, ties—it's disgusting."

After speaking, a pillow flew through the air.

"A petty trick!"

Vivian snorted coldly, retaliating with the pillow shooting like a bullet.

With a thud, Xu Xiaoqing was caught off guard and fell off the sofa.

"Vivian. Control yourself; don't cause a scene here."

Hearing Ning Fan's reproach, Xu Xiaoqing, who was about to protest, hummed smugly.

"You too, Xiaoqing. From now on, be quiet."

After handling the situation, the scene finally settled down.

Unbeknownst to them, it was afternoon; seeing the sunset's glow, Ning Fan couldn't help but ask, "Give Ruolan a call and ask if she's still here?"

To avoid accidentally running into Xu Ruolan, Ning Fan stayed cooped up in the room without going out.

"She's already back at the company."

"Then let's go."

Xu Xiaoqing curiously asked, "Where to?"

"Don't you want to know the truth?"

Ning Fan raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile, "Hope you won't get scared."

Xu Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law, are you for real. She's truly a dragon."

Just then, Vivian snorted coldly, "Hmph! Foolish humans never realize how vast this world is."

"Hah! You're the foolish one. If you have the guts, don't wear that human skin. Who knows what ugly monster you are?"

"Humans are actually the most hideous race, lacking sturdy scales and powerful limbs…"

"Ha! Then just don't turn into a human if you're so capable."

...

Listening to the two bickering, Ning Fan shook his head helplessly; as long as they didn't resort to fighting, they could go on.

Seeing Xu Xiaoqing's sharp tongue, Ning Fan wasn't worried she'd be too scared later.

"We're heading out. Please stop your discussion; you can address any issues when we return."

"Brother-in-law, I'm listening to you."

With that, Xu Xiaoqing proudly clung to Ning Fan's arm.

"Darling, I'm listening to you too."

Before Ning Fan could refuse, he felt his arm tighten, seemingly on the verge of breaking.

Ning Fan pleaded innocently, "Xiaoqing, don't give me that look. Vivian doesn't even understand this word's meaning."

Xu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and then exploded, "You shameless woman, let go of me."

"I won't."

With a crisp clack, Ning Fan almost wanted to die; his arm seemed broken.

"Stop messing around."

Ning Fan quickly withdrew his arm; he didn't want such a dual embrace.

As night fell, the three reached the western suburb of Zhonghai.

"What place is this?"

Xu Xiaoqing asked nervously, "Is this in the wilderness?"

Ning Fan joked, "Zombies have appeared here before."

Xu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, "Brother-in-law, stop fooling me; this isn't a movie set, there aren't any zombies."

"How can you be certain there aren't?"

Ning Fan chuckled lightly; this place was once where the Corpse Herding Sect implemented the Corpse Refining into God Formation.

Xu Xiaoqing froze, awkwardly laughed, "Brother-in-law, you're kidding me. How could zombies exist in the world?"

"Zombies aren't that rare. There are dragons too. Vivian…"

Noticing the violent aura shooting into the sky behind him, Ning Fan smiled and said, "You're quite impatient, Xiaoqing, turn around and look; hope you won't be scared."

"I've seen plenty; I won't be scared."

Xu Xiaoqing retorted defiantly.

Cultivators are sensitive to auras; often, without direct confrontation, just by feeling the aura they can discern differences between themselves and others.

Unless possessing overwhelming strength, accurately discerning auras is challenging.

Because cultivators will always hide their auras, not revealing their strength.

In human form, Vivian could perfectly conceal her aura.

Aside from her brute strength and invincible body, Vivian could be considered a harmless sweetheart.

Having briefly sparred with Vivian, Xu Xiaoqing naturally wasn't deceived by appearances.

Taught by the Celestial Clan's Great Elder, Xu Xiaoqing couldn't claim to conceal her aura 100%, but at least 90%.

Although she couldn't sense Vivian's aura, Xu Xiaoqing didn't really mind, guessing the other was no different from herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiaoqing felt a weight on her shoulders, like an iceberg behind her, with chilling air shooting along her spine and spreading to her limbs, freezing everything.

Under this chilling fear, Xu Xiaoqing's eyes widened, her brow twitched wildly.

Countless violent intents in the void were relentlessly stimulating her nerves.
