Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2143 - 2132: A Life of Hardship

"Unless Baby Hai's group of spiritual linkers returns to Earth, and we can catch a ride."But thinking that would take at least four or five years, Ning Fan's stomach started to ache.

Of course, there is a shortcut.

But unless it's absolutely necessary, Ning Fan would prefer to wait years than take that shortcut.

"Vivian, can you absorb Divine Power now?"

Vivian is at the Demi-God Realm, even without the Power of Faith, she can convert Magic Power into Divine Power, although the efficiency is much slower.

"It's okay."

Ning Fan stammered, "Then it means soon you'll be able to cast Forbidden Spells."

"That depends on what Forbidden Spell. If it's a Human Forbidden Spell from Middle Earth, I can barely release it now."

Saying this, Vivian raised her eyebrows, "What are you trying to say? Just say it directly."

"Can you notify your father to take you back to the Divine Realm?"

"Of course I can."

Vivian nodded as a matter of fact, then laughed, "Rest assured, I can take you with me into the Divine Realm, then return to the Origin World."

"That's not what I mean."

The method Vivian mentioned was the shortcut Ning Fan was thinking about earlier.

He refused not because he was worried Vivian would harm him after returning to the Divine Realm.

The Divine Realm is inherently unstable, not to mention crossing the perilous Star Sea, the variables therein are too many.

Ning Fan's small build couldn't withstand such turmoil.

Especially since there's a Light of Life restriction in Vivian's body, who knows what her Divine King father might think?

"What do you mean then?"

Seeing Vivian's adorably petulant face, Ning Fan laughed heartily, "No meaning. No meaning at all."

"You're sick."

After a while, Vivian said angrily, "The Divine Realm isn't fun at all; this world is better."

"Then stay here with me."

"Who wants to stay with you. Hmph!"

Vivian, feeling proud, turned her head and left the wooden hut.

Watching her leave, Ning Fan silently said in his heart, "Thank you."

Sometimes Vivian seems reckless, but she's actually very meticulous, often understanding Ning Fan's thoughts.

To say the two have a spiritual connection is not an exaggeration.

Since Ning Fan came to this world, unfamiliar and without a guide, he doesn't know if he'd suddenly die one day.

After all, this is not Earth, where Ning Fan can go about without worries.

Outside the wooden hut, Ning Fan happened to see Vivian talking with Eve.

The girl's face was full of smiles, not showing any restraint, seemingly not afraid of the unfamiliar Vivian.

Ning Fan asked with a smile, "What are you chatting about that's so happy?"

At this moment, Eve's smile froze, and she shrank behind Vivian.

This scene greatly upset Ning Fan, and the next words Vivian spoke nearly made him spit blood.

"Is this pervert bullying you? Don't be afraid, sister will support you."

Upon hearing this, Eve's face turned crimson.

Ning Fan's face turned stern, "Stop talking nonsense in front of the child."

"I'm not talking nonsense. You have so many women."

At this moment, Ning Fan realized something was wrong, and asked with a dark face, "Did Xiaoqing tell you this?"

Vivian seemed to have seen a ghost, "How did you know!"

"So it really is like this."

Vivian belongs to the Western Dragon Clan, would she care about trivial matters between men and women?

Not to mention a few women; even if Ning Fan indulged in indulgence, she probably wouldn't spare a glance.

Except for Xu Xiaoqing's teachings, how could she speak such nonsense?

"No wonder Vivian let me off so easily when she came to Fusang. Turns out there's a mole."

Ning Fan shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter.

What happens on Earth stays on Earth; it's better to focus on the present.

A big and small girl walked ahead, Ning Fan could only silently follow.

No choice, whenever he got close, Eve would keep her head down and say nothing.

Led by the young guide Eve, Ning Fan got a rough understanding of Hill Island and Hill Village.

Hill Island isn't big and has a flat terrain.

The island resembles a gourd in shape; Hill Village sits along the coastline, positioned in the upper part of the gourd.

As for the lower half of the "gourd," it's a large forest.

The forest contains a lake, providing fresh water resources for Hill Village.

Seeing Vivian nod, Ning Fan immediately understood that Hill Island is very safe; although there are animals in the forest, there are no Demon Beasts.

This made Ning Fan a bit disappointed; he was ready to kill some Demon Beasts as a greeting gift.

Although the fishermen of Hill Village have cultivation, in Ning Fan's view, only Sangganda truly qualifies as a cultivator.

The Battle Aura circulating in their bodies is all strengthened by this world's abundant energy.

Besides being strong and fast, knowing a few farming tricks, these fishermen are no different from ordinary people on Earth.

Just through Hill Village, Ning Fan understood the rarity of mages.

In the whole village of hundreds of households, only two people possess Magic Power, Sangganda and Eve.

Eve is currently a magic apprentice, while other peers must help adults fish; she alone doesn't have to work, focusing on learning magic with Sangganda.

This is why Ning Fan didn't see children in the village.

Hill Village, though a settlement, is a big family; the village chief Sangganda is like the head of the family, holding absolute authority.

The village chief ordered the two honored guests to be entertained, and the people Ning Fan had seen earlier went back out to sea to fish.

All boys over ten must go out to sea to help with sails or learn fishing skills.

As for girls, they usually farm and weave cloth accompanied by their mothers.

Since the forest lacks Demon Beasts, quite a bit of land has been cleared inside.

Without pesticides, without iron tools, and with weeds affected by energy.

If farmland isn't tended for a day, the crops planted will be ruined.

Moreover, due to maritime climate influences, crop yields aren't high.

Looking at the vacant village, if it weren't for seeing it firsthand, Ning Fan would have thought it abandoned.

"If I had known they were going out to fish, then..."

Looking at the sunset-stained sea, Ning Fan shook his head; it's too late to say anything now.

The village isn't without food; on the contrary, fish drying racks are everywhere.

Through Eve's words, Ning Fan learned these dried fish are goods for the next trading ship, absolutely not to be used lightly, which is why the villagers had to go out to sea.

The merchant ships risk great peril coming to Hill Island, certainly not for the convenience of these fishermen here.

Ning Fan didn't even have to think to know those merchants buy at cabbage prices and sell at gold prices.

Hence, conditions here are very harsh.

Though it may seem like Arcadia, true life here is challenging; everyone remains busy.

Those children too young for farm work stay home, looking after even younger kids.
