Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2089 - 2078: A Big Wish

But the current situation is that the Light of Life not only accumulates slowly, but each time it's used, the depletion is significant.This is equivalent to Ning Fan overdrawing his own life, only to serve as a humanoid bottle.

He doesn't even know if he will die if the Light of Life completely disappears.

"Forget it. Something is better than nothing. In any case, I shouldn't experiment recklessly next time."

Relying on the accumulation from photosynthesis, Ning Fan still hasn't made a comeback.

Perhaps it's a psychological reason, but he feels a bit listless and weak.

On the fifth day, which happened to be Sunday, Nannan, who participated in an autumn trip with the school, finally returned.

When Xu Chengyuan, Xu Ruolan's father, saw Vivian, the old father-in-law shook his head and said, "I'm old. I no longer understand the world of young people."

Ning Fan felt embarrassed and was about to explain something, but saw Xu Chengyuan leave with his hands behind his back.

Before leaving, he said, "I'm not coming back today. Nannan, I'll come to take you to school tomorrow."

"Goodbye, Grandpa."

After Xu Chengyuan left, Nannan jumped into Ning Fan's embrace, "Brother, I missed you so much."

"Brother missed you too."

"Big sister, second sister, pretty sister..."

Looking at the blonde-haired Vivian, Nannan blinked her eyes and curiously asked, "Hey! Who is this foreign sister?"

Xu Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Her name is Vivian, you can call her Fourth Sister."

"Great. I have another sister now."

Nannan sweetly said, "Hello, Fourth Sister."

As Vivian gazed at the nearby Nannan, her face suddenly changed, "You are..."

"Stop right there."

Ning Fan hurriedly intervened, looking annoyed at Vivian, and thought irritably, "Always showing off. You think you're the only one who knows Nannan's background."

Among those people, the first to know the truth was Su Meiniang. As a fairy, she was very familiar with ghostly aura and discovered Nannan's secret at first glance.

Although she found it odd that her husband's family had a ghost child, she wasn't the type to meddle, so she kept it to herself.

It was Ning Fan who informed Xu Ruolan's sisters about the truth.

Xu Ruolan came out to smooth things over and said, "Vivian, actually we all know."

"Sisters, what do you know?"

"It's nothing. Can sister hug you?"

"Of course."

Looking at Nannan walking towards her, with a slightly restrained yet smiling face, Xu Rulan felt even more guilty for not spending more time with this poor child.

If Xu Ruolan knew the truth, she would realize that Nannan's background was far more pitiable than Ning Fan had made up.

This wasn't the first time Xu Ruolan had hugged Nannan, but even with psychological preparation, she distinctly felt a chill on Nannan.

It was as if she was hugging an ice block through a cotton coat, not very obvious but undeniably present.

Xu Ruolan finally understood why Ning Fan went to great lengths to choose a school and even had Nannan sleep alone.

At first, she thought it was to cultivate Nannan's independence, but now it seemed it was to conceal her unique constitution.

"The heavier the resentment in ghost types, the lower the temperature of the soul body. Only when Nannan's resentment completely disappears will she exhibit human body temperature, with possible growth."

Thinking of these words, Xu Ruolan became even sadder.

According to Ning Fan, the last thread of resentment entangled on Nannan's soul body was like a bone-attached ulcer, very hard to dispel.

"Sister, why are you crying?"

"Sister isn't crying."

Xu Ruolan is a sensitive person, saying so caused her nose to tingle again.

To prevent Nannan from overthinking, everyone agreed to keep her matters a secret.

Resentment is closely linked to emotions, and no one dares to guarantee that Nannan's internal resentment won't rekindle.

Knowing that Nannan would return today, Xu Ruolan, who initially planned to work overtime, immediately called everyone home to celebrate properly.

Today could be said to be the happiest day for Nannan.

She received various gifts.

But for Nannan, the best gift was...

The always stern first wife held her in her arms, smiling all the while.

With grand wishes, Nannan finally took a successful first step, receiving the first wife's recognition.

Besides, she also received great news.

Having only met a few times, the beautiful Su Meiniang, who claimed to be seeking her husband, had smoothly become the Third Sister.

Most importantly, the cunning Nannan had long sensed Su Meiniang wasn't human.

Although not clear on Su Meiniang's exact identity, it fully indicated.

As long as she received the first wife's recognition, with time, she could fulfill her wish to become the fifth.

"But when will I finally grow up?"

Looking up at a group of beautiful elder sisters, Nannan frustratingly lowered her head.

Always concerned for Nannan, Xu Ruolan immediately asked, "Nannan, what's wrong?"

"Big Sister, when will I grow up?"

"Well...you're still a child now, you'll grow up in a few years."

Saying so, Xu Ruolan's eyes turned dark.

Ning Fan once said that only if Nannan could completely eliminate resentment and turn to cultivate Spiritual Immortal, would she have the chance to grow up.

Otherwise, Nannan would always remain in a child's form.

But how easy is it to talk about cultivating as a Spiritual Immortal?

While she's still young and temporarily not troubled by this.

As time passes, Nannan will naturally notice the difference between herself and her peers.

It's imaginable how much psychological gap she'll feel then.

Xu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Nannan should eat more so she can grow taller."

"Thank you, Second Sister."

Just then, Vivian said faintly, "You might try letting her eat some Holy Light bread."

"You all keep chatting. Vivian, come with me for a moment."

Although Vivian's dragon grade isn't great, she comes from the Divine Realm, so perhaps she might have a solution to problems Ning Fan and others can't solve.

Ning Fan said seriously, "Xiao Si, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Vivian replied indifferently, "Aren't you always worried about Nannan's resentment expanding and exploding? The divine attributes contained in Holy Light bread can suppress resentment."

"I've thought of this, too. But won't this harm Nannan?"

Holy Power is the nemesis of all dark energy, and resentment is a form of dark energy.

If Nannan were an ordinary person possessed, using Holy Power to cleanse would be fine.

But she isn't human, and Holy Power cleansing resentment also harms her soul body.

In some ways, resentment and the soul body are intertwined, not separate.

That's why when experts from the Divine Sect absolve spirits, cleansing resentment leads to the disappearance of the soul itself.

The disappearance of resentment is equivalent to the disappearance of the soul body.

This is the greatest difficulty in ghost cultivation, as it's extremely hard to purify resentment completely.
