Chapter 260: There’s Something There
Nan Yuanman squatted in front of a spider web, completely baffled, but she didn’t know much about formations either, so she didn’t dare to rashly use a talisman to destroy the spider web, and could only anxiously scratch her buttocks.
Bai Wenyin, who had been floating by her side, could sense the evil grievance emanating from the spider web.
It was as if she would be swallowed by the spider web as soon as she touched it.
Bai Wenyin carefully grabbed Nan Yuanman’s collar and pulled her back: “Perfection, there’s danger here, don’t get close, let’s go back.”
Nan Yuanman retreated following her strength, and upon hearing this, her heart stirred as she looked up at her: “Danger?”
“Yeah! So many spider webs, there must be lots of big spiders here! What if one suddenly jumps out and bites you, and you get poisoned?”
Bai Wenyin was deeply worried. She was still a spirit body now, and if Perfection was in danger, she wouldn’t be able to help her at all.
It would be better to make her leave the source of danger from the beginning.
Nan Yuanman’s mouth moved, but she didn’t make a sound, obediently moving far away from the spider web.
Once she stood on the field ridge, she called out to Aunt Zheng, who was using a wooden stick to clear the spider web: “Auntie, let’s go back first. I’ll handle these spider webs later.”
Aunt Zheng: “Okay.”
She tossed the wooden stick aside, clapped her hands, and walked toward the field ridge: “Perfect timing, I’ll go help tidy up your house. If you can’t get used to staying at my place, you can go back home.”
Nan Yuanman: “Mm-hmm.”
Aunt Zheng took Nan Yuanman home, and on the way they passed many villagers heading to the fields to farm. They were all surprised to see Nan Yuanman and greeted her one after another.
Nan Yuanman was a good child and responded to each one.
Until they passed Aunt Zheng’s neighbor’s house, in front of Grandpa Sun’s yard gate, Nan Yuanman saw Grandpa Sun sitting outside, puffing on his water pipe with a troubled frown, and greeted him: “Good morning, Grandpa Sun!”
“Morning, oh my, Perfection’s back? When did you arrive?” Grandpa Sun was also surprised to see Nan Yuanman, a kind smile appearing on his face as he asked cheerfully.
Nan Yuanman: “Arrived last night.”
“Right.” Grandpa Sun seemed to remember something, rubbed his rough hands, and hesitated before saying: “That… your great-great-grandma is approaching her end, and she doesn’t want cremation. She wants to buy a coffin and be buried in the earth like the previous generations.”
“Perfect timing since you’re back. Let me ask, does your grandpa still have any coffins? If so, I’d like to order a red coffin.”
“Yes.” Nan Yuanman nodded: “Come to my house later to get it.”
Grandpa Sun nodded repeatedly: “Great, great, great.”
Nan Yuanman didn’t take this interlude to heart, but Bai Wenyin gave the Sun family a strange look and said nothing, continuing to float silently behind her.
As soon as Nan Yuanman returned to Aunt Zheng’s house, she didn’t rush over but let her go clean first. She would summon Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen’s souls back first.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals. She couldn’t read that formation, so let Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen take a look.
Nan Yuanman exerted all her strength and finally divined where Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen’s out-of-body souls were.
She glanced at the divination result and couldn’t help letting out a soft “Eh” from her mouth: “The divination result shows Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen’s souls are at Aunt Zheng’s house?”
But she clearly hadn’t sensed anything?
Could it be that the two of them had accidentally entered some place?
Nan Yuanman scratched her head and, while setting up the soul-summoning formation, released Xiao Hong: “Go see where they’re trapped and rescue them.”
Xiao Hong whooshed out and arrived in Aunt Zheng’s cellar at extreme speed.
It searched everywhere and finally stopped in front of a spider web in the corner with intricate patterns and a “seal” character in the middle. The coffin lid was slightly shifted, and a black-golden light shot out and smashed onto the spider web.
The spider web sizzled and turned to flying ash, disappearing. Two beams of white light flew out from the cellar and directly entered Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen’s bodies.
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen, who had been expressionless with dull eyes, had their eyes brighten slightly. They shivered at the same time, and their consciousness slowly returned.
The next second after Zhong Xueliu’s consciousness returned, upon seeing Nan Yuanman, vigilance instantly appeared on her face. Without hesitation, she drew her peach wood sword and thrust it straight at Nan Yuanman: “Go die! Evil Ghost!”
Nan Yuanman: “???”
She dodged Zhong Xueliu’s attack and hurriedly said: “Sister Xueliu, it’s me! I’m Perfection, not an evil ghost!”
Zhong Xueliu gritted her teeth and sneered coldly: “You think the same trick will fool me a second time? Don’t try to deceive me again! Show your true face, stop hiding your head and showing your tail using Perfection’s skin!”
Zhong Xueliu was aiming to take Nan Yuanman’s life, striking with extra ferocity. Nan Yuanman went from dodging at first to finally being unable to endure it and had no choice but to draw her copper coin sword to meet it.
She pulled out a calming talisman and flung it at Zhong Xueliu while dodging: “Sister Xueliu, clear your mind!”
Zhong Xueliu: “I’m very clear-headed!”
Nan Yuanman lost her temper and said dirty words for the first time: “Clear-headed my ass!”
Before she could subdue Zhong Xueliu, a sound of wind being torn came from her ear. Turning her head, she saw Nan Yichen clenching his fist and attacking her back.
Nan Yuanman: “!!”
Nan Yuanman quickly crouched down to dodge. Nan Yichen’s fist collided with Zhong Xueliu’s peach wood sword, and both retreated together.
Nan Yichen’s eyes were sharp and extremely vigilant as he looked at Nan Yuanman and Zhong Xueliu, muttering to himself: “This time it turned into two people to deceive me… But no matter, as long as I kill them all.”
Zhong Xueliu had the same thought.
She no longer dared to believe Nan Yuanman and Nan Yichen.
Nan Yuanman: “??”
Kill what?! Say it again, what do you want to kill?!
While the little one was still dumbfounded, she saw Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen suddenly turn directions at the same time and attack her.
Nan Yuanman: “!!!”
Nan Yuanman screeched and fled chaotically, looking at the two attacking from left and right, furious: “You two are going too far! This is you forcing my hand!!”
Nan Yichen’s face was cold. This illusion had some substance; it was very realistic.
However, an illusion was still just an illusion and couldn’t become real.
The next second, he saw Nan Yuanman, who had been fleeing and dodging on the wall, twist in mid-air and scatter a large handful of talismans at him and Zhong Xueliu.
A mocking look appeared on Nan Yichen’s face. They even replicated talismans? He wanted to see just how powerful the talismans were in this illusionary realm—could they break his indestructible body!
Nan Yichen didn’t dodge or evade and charged forward. The talismans rained down on him harmlessly.
Nan Yichen sneered. As expected, not a bit of…
His expression changed abruptly as his stomach suddenly felt bloated, and then—
“Pffft—!”
He let out an extraordinarily drawn-out fart.
Not only that, he smelled an extreme stench at the tip of his nose, and an itchy sensation came over his body.
Nan Yichen glared angrily at Nan Yuanman, opened his mouth to speak, but what came out was: “Ribbit!”
Nan Yichen: “??”
Nan Yichen: “Ribbit ribbit ribbit?”
Damn! He turned into a frog?!
This illusionary realm was insulting him!!
The next second, he heard a mysterious sound from his side: “Moo—!”
Nan Yichen turned his head: “Ribbit ribbit ribbit?” (Where did the cow come from?)
Zhong Xueliu looked at him with a constipated expression: “Moo!”
