Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2064 - 2053: Holy Light Wheat

For Vivian, there seemed to be extra implied meaning in this sentence."Ning Fan, aren't you looking for these magic crystal stones? I'm giving them to you."

Vivian forced a relaxed smile and handed over the small pouch at her waist, which was filled with top-level magic crystal stones infused with Rule Power.

"You finally came around, so I won't be polite. I don't need so many, just a few will do."

The most precious aspect of top-level magic crystal stones is that they can harness Rule Power to automatically replenish magic power.

As long as the crystal's power isn't completely depleted at once, it can be used forever.

It was precisely because of this that Ning Fan thought of asking for a piece for each lady.

Ning Fan joked as he was about to reach out, he suddenly noticed Vivian's reluctance in her eyes, realizing he had overlooked a problem.

"Aren't these your favorite things? Why give them to me?"

Ning Fan teased, "I've been asking for so long before, and you wouldn't give me even one. Why are you so generous now?"

"I... Anyway, you'll compensate me. So, in a way, I'm gaining."

Seeing Vivian's deliberately relaxed smile, Ning Fan knowingly asked, "You're not doing this willingly, are you?"

Vivian hurriedly replied, "No... Yes! I'm willingly giving them to you."

"Take them back. Did you forget we're friends?"

Ning Fan smiled gently, "I said I wouldn't hurt you, and I definitely wouldn't use such means to threaten you into doing things you're unhappy with."

It's clear Vivian was spending money for peace.

Once Ning Fan accepted these magic crystal stones, an irreparable rift would form between them.

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

Vivian was stunned, her eyes like Black Pearls, staring unblinkingly at Ning Fan as if trying to see through him.

While Ning Fan felt no guilt meeting her gaze, his deep eyes were as calm as a dead-cold pond.

"Hmm!"

After Vivian's lips quirked up to a forty-five-degree angle, she quickly retracted her hand.

Seeing this scene, a touched Ning Fan inexplicably felt a hint of regret.

"I'm really silly. I don't have to take everything, just a few will do."

Of course, this was just a mental jest.

In the previous situation, taking one or all was essentially the same.

Even taking just one low-level magic crystal stone equaled a compromise Vivian made under duress.

"This makes things tricky. Can we still comfortably divide spoils in the future?"

With Vivian's many cunning thoughts, Ning Fan wasn't sure whether to take what she offered.

It's hard to tell if she was probing or being sincere.

"Could she be retreating to advance?"

Thinking of this, Ning Fan suspiciously looked over.

At that moment, Vivian appeared like a serene solitary lotus, smiling tranquilly.

This charming scene truly didn't fit the shrewd style.

Ning Fan shook his head, "I must be overthinking. After all, she's usually rather impulsive, not quite calculating to that extent."

As for Vivian's true intentions, likely only her dragon self knew.

Since discovering the holy sword had its own storage space, Ning Fan began a new round of looting.

The millennium foundation of the Church of Light is no joke.

Of course! This is relative. In Vivian's eyes, the Church's thousand-year legacy is undoubtedly child's play.

Though most valuable items had been divided between the two,

to Ning Fan, there were still quite a few good things, like the Church of Light's food.

Even he hadn't foreseen that such a day would come to actually rob food.

How is the Church's cuisine? Ning Fan wasn't sure about the meat or vegetarian preferences.

In the tiered areas where the higher-ups lived, he found a plant called "Holy Light Wheat."

The name naturally came from Vivian's explanation.

Holy Light Wheat lives up to its name, wheat that glows with white Holy Light, seemingly afflicted with albinism, somewhat eerie and creepy.

But in a priest's home, after tasting some bread made from Holy Light Wheat, Ning Fan realized his mistake of judging by appearance.

Holy Light Bread had an excellent texture, smooth, refreshing, sweet, and soft, which is why it's the designated staple for the Church's high ranks.

If just for the texture, Ning Fan wouldn't have done such a thing. It would be quite embarrassing, considering there are plenty of tasty things on Earth.

But then Ning Fan discovered he underestimated the bread.

Whether it's coarse chaff or delicious delicacies.

All mundane grains have toxins, otherwise cultivators wouldn't deem toilets as the place for grain reincarnation.

Yet with Holy Light Bread, Ning Fan didn't notice any.

Can't fully say there's none, but at least he didn't feel any toxins noticeably entering his body after eating.

Thinking of the time spent to cleanse the women's bone marrow, Ning Fan was truly exhausted improving their physique.

As long as one lives in the dusty world, contact with dust is inevitable.

Gradually, toxins begin to accumulate over time.

Using crude terms, cultivation is itself a detox process.

Even Ning Fan can't be completely clean, let alone them.

Though they can use Spirit Pills to sense Qi and self-purify toxins at a slow rate.

Instead of wasting time detoxifying, it's better to start from the source.

The way to reduce toxin intake, naturally, is through food.

Those with high cultivation consume the essence of the wind and dew, and the sun and moon, for this reason.

So upon discovering Holy Light Wheat, Ning Fan set his sights on it, but conditions weren't mature enough then for him to move many bags, and exposure was risky.

But now with the holy sword's storage function, everything was easily resolved.

The next day, Ning Fan transformed into a field laborer.

The holy sword swung, a white Sword Qi swept across, causing wheat to fall briskly in the fields, lining up under spiritual power to fly to Ning Fan and disappear.

Starting from the Pope's estate all the way to the seventh layer estate,

under Vivian's guidance, Ning Fan harvested all the ripe wheat like a farmer cutting chives.

Not using a savage slash-and-burn.

These Holy Light Wheat are hardy, as long as they're cared for, they'll naturally grow again when the time comes.

To make this a chive field, Ning Fan tirelessly dug channels, even asking Vivian for help to set up a timed magic formation.

Every few days, the dug channel would automatically irrigate the wheat fields with water before closing.

The area was naturally sunny, pest-free, combined with the special nature of Holy Light Wheat, only water was enough.
