Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2159 - 2148: Sincere Attitude

"We can't leave."One must always be on guard against others.

The lake is too important to Hill Village. In the past, there were no outsiders, so there was no need to guard it, but now it's different.

What if these mercenaries suddenly get the idea to take a bath here, then...

Vivian's bathwater, Ning Fan could accept, but these hairy, sweaty, rough men instead...

Then he guarantees, he would definitely kill those people.

For the sake of their lives, Ning Fan decided it's best to do a good deed and watch over this place.

Just then, a voice full of joy came from the opposite forest, "The smell of freshwater, there's a water source ahead."

"Do they have a dog's nose? They can even smell the scent of freshwater."

If Ning Fan had been adrift at sea for half a year like these people, drinking foul rainwater every day, he too might smell the fragrance of fresh water.

A Water Series Mage, although capable of releasing water balls, no mage would be extravagant enough to use precious magic power to create bathwater.

Not long after, a group emerged from the forest.

Most conspicuous were the ten Black Armored Warriors, and then the blue-haired woman they were protecting.

Upon seeing Vivian, Wilton's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, then he warily watched the two of them.

Wilton was certain that he had never seen this blonde-haired, green-eyed girl with skin as white as milk before, otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten.

Vivian was too different from the women of Hill Village, standing out like a crane among chickens,

and just one glance could leave a deep impression.

Wilton said sternly, "Who are you people?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing this soft and sweet voice, Ning Fan felt his bones lighten by a couple of ounces.

"Miss, there's a stranger."

Vivian sneered, "You talk as if you are the owners here."

Looking at Vivian before her, Rebecca's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect to see such an exceptional beauty here."

"What's this? It's like face appreciating face, finding each other remarkable."

Ning Fan stared at Rebecca, wondering if she had a certain preference.

"Kid, you keep staring like that. Be careful or I'll gouge your eyes out."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan was both angry and amused, but before he could speak, he heard Vivian's sharp tongue saying,

"Just a Fifth Rank Water Series Mage, and you dare to boast here? You look about sixty years old, right? Tsk tsk... a Fifth Rank that's not even in the league. That's one hell of an age to waste."

"Xu Xiaoqing, you troublemaker."

Other than Xu Xiaoqing, Vivian is definitely the type to act first, speak less, and has a hot temper.

Such spiteful words, other than Xu Xiaoqing, who else could have taught her?

Seeing Wilton's face turning blue and white, Ning Fan hurriedly said, "My friend can't speak well. She means no harm."

"Then what is considered malice?"

Wilton said sinisterly, "This insignificant Fifth Rank mage is going to ask for your teachings."

Though he said that, Wilton had no intention to make a move.

No one knew the shock he was feeling inside.

A girl without any Battle Aura or magic power fluctuations could see through his cultivation and age at a glance.

This was something Wilton could never have imagined before.

"Come on. Who's afraid of whom? Whoever doesn't act is a grand... mmm."

Ning Fan covered Vivian's mouth, chuckling dryly, "She's just talking nonsense."

He was still hoping to return to land with them later on.

He did indeed have some missteps earlier.

Wilton said with a stern face, "I don't think it's nonsense. Please advise."

Even though he couldn't gauge Vivian's strength, the dignity of a mage cannot be violated.

Vivian challenged, "Come on!"

Everyone knew, Ning Fan simply couldn't stop Vivian's monstrous strength.

Ning Fan helplessly glanced at Vivian, his sharp eyes turning to Rebecca, contemplating whether to take her down as well.

After all, the perspectives of this one person and one dragon were somewhat improper.

At this moment, Rebecca said softly, "Manager Wilton, this is just a misunderstanding. Besides, it was you who was rude first."

"But Miss..."

Rebecca shook her head, gently opening her lips and slowly said, "Sorry, it was us who were rude earlier."

"We should be the ones apologizing."

With that, Ning Fan gave Vivian a hard glare, "Hurry up and apologize."

Popular saying, a good presentation benefits everyone. Since the other side took the initiative to show goodwill, Ning Fan didn't mind giving them some face.

Vivian looked up at the sky and said, "Sorry!"

"Be more sincere."

"That Fifth Rank mage, sorry."

Seeing the enraged expression on Wilton's face, Ning Fan quickly said, "What nonsense are you spouting."

"I'm not wrong. He is a Fifth Rank mage!"

"Do you know how difficult the Fifth Rank is? Do you know how many mages in the entire Empire reach Fifth Rank...?"

Wilton screamed internally, but maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, clutching his aching chest.

Vivian wasn't wrong; he was indeed a Fifth Rank mage.

Rebecca chuckled softly, then asked, "May I know the names of you both?"

With that, she took a step forward.

Wilton blocked her, "Miss, you mustn't."

"It's okay."

Noticing Rebecca's emerald green eyes, Wilton felt jittery and instinctively stepped back.

Rumor has it that the descendants of Medusa possess eyes that can see through people's hearts.

Wilton didn't know if this was true, but he only knew that Miss's gaze had never been wrong.

On the third day out to sea, she identified a spy mixed among the mercenaries.

"My name is Rebecca. And yours?"

"Ning Fan."

"Vivian."

Rebecca nodded, appearing to imprint these two names in her heart.

"This girl is not simple, her social skills are exceptionally impressive."

In social occasions, introducing oneself with a nod creates a very good impression, representing respect and attention.

"You don't look like native residents here, do you?"

Ning Fan smiled, "We, like Miss, accidentally ended up on this island."

"So,"

Rebecca's beautiful eyes glinted, lightly asking, "Did your merchant ship also meet with disaster?"

"Yes. After the merchant ship was destroyed, we drifted on the current to this island and were rescued by the locals."

"To survive at sea, you both must have remarkable skills."

"What skills? I'm just a Fourth Rank warrior."

Ning Fan shifted his internal Light of Life, releasing a weak Battle Aura.

The moment the Battle Aura appeared, Ning Fan noticed that those Black Armored Warriors gripped their sword handles simultaneously.

Rebecca asked curiously, "What about Miss Vivian?"

"She's a hunter."

As the words fell, Vivian symbolically leaked a trace of magic power.

"Hmph! So, she's a hunter."

Wilton's eyes showed a trace of disdain.

A hunter is a profession similar to a scout, skilled in dismantling traps, assassination, reconnaissance, etc.
