Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2142 - 2131: Abyssal Demon Octopus

"A giant octopus.""What kind of octopus?"

After hearing Ning Fan's description, Sangganda gasped and exclaimed, "The legendary deep-sea kraken."

This made Sangganda believe that Ning Fan really came across the sea.

"I never expected Mr. Ning could escape from the attack of the deep-sea kraken."

"Oh. Has the village chief seen it before?"

"Mr. Ning, you must be joking. How could I have that ability?"

Sangganda's eyes showed a bit of resentment; Ning Fan's words were somewhat hurtful.

"I heard people talk during my travels, the Empire once organized an expedition fleet intending to pave a sea route to the Immortal Domain but ended up encountering the deep-sea kraken."

Seeing Sangganda lost in memories, Ning Fan couldn't help but ask, "What happened then?"

"All three hundred heavy warships were completely destroyed; hence the Empire never strengthened its navy thereafter."

"There should be survivors, right?"

If there weren't any survivors, how did the story spread?

Sangganda said sadly, "Indeed, one person survived, but this Superior Rank Mage lost his mind when he brought the message back to the Empire."

"Superior Rank Mage!"

Ning Fan's eyes were filled with astonishment; with Vivian's explanations, he wasn't a novice.

Mages are divided into ranks one through nine, and above the ninth is the Superior Rank Mage,

According to Taoist Cultivators' classification, it corresponds to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

It's incredible that a Golden Core expert was scared insane.

But thinking about the overwhelming threat of that giant octopus, Ning Fan felt it was somewhat understandable.

"A Superior Rank Mage went insane, Mr. Ning, you must find it hard to believe."

Seeing Sangganda somewhat mistaken, Ning Fan didn't explain but continued listening.

"At first, the Empire didn't believe it, thinking the Superior Rank Mage suffered from the effects of a magic power tidal wave, affecting his mind."

"But soon after, the Mage Association sent word that the Dharma God's life token broke, only then did the Empire accept the total annihilation."

At this point, Sangganda, driven by an unknown force, tightly grasped his wooden staff, trembling with excitement, "That was the Dharma God, just a step away from becoming a True God, yet died without the chance to escape."

"Well... a moment of silence for the Dharma God."

Ning Fan slowly closed his eyes.

He had no choice but to shut his eyes because once he opened them, he'd face Sangganda's frantic, wild eyes.

The Dharma God in Middle Earth stands at the pinnacle of power, known as a demigod among men.

Now with the demigod falling to the deep-sea kraken, yet Ning Fan survived safely, how could Sangganda not let his imagination run wild?

"Actually, we were lucky. Perhaps our target was small, and the giant octopus didn't pursue us."

Ning Fan continued hedging, "Later, we were wounded and unconscious from the storm."

Sangganda nodded, thoroughly agreeing with this explanation.

If Ning Fan insisted on escaping from the deep-sea kraken's clutch, he'd have doubted him.

Sangganda sighed softly, "You were indeed lucky."

Years ago, the ocean expedition didn't just lead the Empire to cancel its navy program; it sent the mages' powers back hundreds of years, leaving the Dharma God almost a mythical legend.

"I agree."

Ning Fan wasn't just referring to the escape.

Leaving the gigantic volcanic island in a playful way, he thought he'd be adrift at sea forever.

Unexpectedly, the deep-sea kraken's pursuit accomplished Ning Fan.

"Could it really be fate!"

Just then, a young girl named Eve came in timidly and said, "Grandpa Chief, I'm done."

"Thank you."

The girl seemed scared of Ning Fan, hurriedly escaping the wooden cabin.

"Mr. Ning, don't mind it. Eve hasn't met strangers before; she's just shy."

"It's no problem; the young girl is quite adorable."

Ning Fan smiled, "Chief, I wish to see my companions."

"Feel free, Mr. Ning. I won't disturb you."

"You're being too polite, village chief."

After Ning Fan left, Sangganda sunk into deep thought, silently processing the information he just received in his mind.

When he met Vivian again, she was already wearing a set of "swimwear."

Seeing the tight-fitting top, Ning Fan guessed the original owner of the outfit.

Vivian's wounds had vanished, her skin white as snow.

"How long was it pursuing us?"

Thinking about how he fainted from exhaustion made Ning Fan furious, "That darn octopus, next time I'll turn you into grilled squid."

Just then, Vivian slowly opened her eyes, not showing any panic about the unfamiliar place, instead calmly saying, "Is it over?"

"Yes, it's over."

Vivian shook her head; she fainted due to exhaustion as well.

Even though the deep-sea kraken gave up pursuit, it didn't mean safety; there were other dangers in the sea.

Afterward, Ning Fan used the Light of Life as a barrier to create a soundproof method and revealed what he knew.

"Be careful not to leak information. The origin of that octopus is unusual, avoid attracting others' attention."

Suddenly arriving in this world, Ning Fan was somewhat caught off guard, now only thinking of heading to the Immortal Domain.

At least there, he could slowly find the Orthodox Unity Sect's mountain gate.

With Chen Min's help, finding others would be much easier.

"Baby Hai, Alice, Ma Ling'er."

Thinking of these three people, Ning Fan couldn't help but sigh; aside from Baby Hai being in Red Leaf Pavilion, no trace of the others.

Just like Ning Fan's wrath, how could Vivian swallow her anger over a dragon fainting from exhaustion?

"Darn garbage, next time I'll eat you."

After venting, Vivian asked puzzledly, "Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing."

Ning Fan shook his head; the reason for his laughter was because they thought alike.

Suddenly, a thought struck Ning Fan as he quickly asked, "How long can we stay in this world?"

Vivian asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, how long can we stay? Are you homesick?"

Ning Fan asked nervously, "Didn't you say there's a repelling force, the world consciousness will expel us?"

Finally arriving in the Earth Immortal Realm, if he hadn't reached the Immortal Domain and was expelled, it would be terribly awkward.

Vivian rolled her eyes and said, "You're overthinking; better think of how to return later?"

The two didn't enter the Earth Immortal Realm through a natural wormhole,

even if they did, with their strength, the world's consciousness would only regard them as "locals."

"Return?"

Ning Fan was dumbfounded; he focused too much on the repulsion issue without considering the returning method.

The returning method isn't unavailable.

Although Chen Min said that beyond the Golden Core Realm, one couldn't return to Earth from the Earth Immortal Realm through the Immortal Sect,

yet Ning Fan hasn't even reached the Golden Core, essentially the same as ordinary mortals.

There's a good chance he could bypass the Immortal Sect's restriction.

But the crucial part is that the Immortal Sect requires multiple people to open together.

Even if Ning Fan discovers the Immortal Sect, he wouldn't have the power to open it.
