“What happened to Little Carp? Is she injured? Is it serious?”
Seeing Liu Nanfeng’s urgent demeanor, Zhu Yin’e’s expression softened slightly.
“I don’t know what’s going on. Usually, even though she likes to sleep in, I can wake her up. I don’t know what happened this morning; she’s been sleeping deeply and won’t wake.” Zhu Yin’e frowned, her brow furrowed with worry.
“I’ll go with you to take a look,” Liu Nanfeng said as he headed for the door.
After a few steps, he remembered Su Huamei.
He turned back to her and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go and come back.”
Su Huamei understood Liu Nanfeng’s feelings.
Liu Nanfeng really liked Little Carp. On one hand, Little Carp was truly lively and adorable; few people wouldn’t like her after spending time together.
On the other hand, it was definitely related to his previous life. To say he had no such thoughts wouldn’t be believed by Liu Nanfeng himself, let alone the Su sisters.
The two sisters had discussed this issue before, but they ultimately decided to let fate decide.
Little Carp was born without parents, and in a sense, Liu Nanfeng owed her. Now that Liu Nanfeng had the chance to see her again, why should they be the villains and forcefully separate them?
Besides, they weren’t that kind of people.
“Come back soon.”
“Su Jinxiu” instructed, her gaze turning to Zhu Yin’e, carrying a hint of hostility.
This woman had come to steal her man. The fact that she hadn’t started a fight was already a sign of her magnanimity.
Zhu Yin’e ignored her and turned to leave with Liu Nanfeng.
If it were the real Su Jinxiu in front of her, she might have some reservations, but as for Su Huamei, she truly didn’t take her seriously.
Yes, as soon as she entered, she saw that the Su Jinxiu in front of her was a fake, transformed by Su Huamei.
Seeing Zhu Yin’e’s disdainful look, Su Huamei stomped her feet in anger, but she could do nothing about it. If Su Jinxiu were here to back her up, she wouldn’t be afraid, but now, alone, she might not be her match if they really fought.
Zhu Yin’e walked out the door and caught up with Liu Nanfeng, who was rushing forward with a look of anxiety.
His appearance showed his concern for Little Carp, which made Zhu Yin’e feel a little happier.
Then, she casually said, “Congratulations on becoming a father.”
Liu Nanfeng glanced back at her. Was this the time to talk about that?
However, Liu Nanfeng still nodded and said thank you.
Seeing Liu Nanfeng look at her, Zhu Yin’e subconsciously explained.
“Little Carp told me about it last night. She also said you were very happy.”
Liu Nanfeng: …
This was a veiled remark. After thinking about it, he said, “I am also very happy to know Little Carp.”
“Oh.”
Zhu Yin’e replied nonchalantly, but in her heart, she felt a pang of guilt. She shouldn’t have said those words just now.
However, Liu Nanfeng’s answer made her feel quite pleased.
The two arrived at the riverbank, entered the river directly, and headed downstream.
Liu Nanfeng was no longer the novice he once was. As his understanding of the world deepened, supported by his magical powers, he could effortlessly perform various minor spells with great proficiency.
Although there were many pedestrians by the river, Zhu Yin’e had already shielded their five senses, making it impossible for them to detect their presence.
This seemed to have become a standard for cultivators; almost everyone knew how to do it. It was not surprising, as it was a necessary skill if one wanted to avoid the trouble caused by causing a disturbance.
The two plunged into the water and soon arrived outside the water mansion, where Zhu Yuchan was already standing at the entrance, looking out anxiously.
Liu Nanfeng didn’t stand on ceremony and went straight to greet her.
“How is Little Carp? Has she woken up?” Liu Nanfeng asked anxiously.
Zhu Yuchan shook her head, and without wasting words, led Liu Nanfeng directly to Zhu Yin’e’s boudoir.
Liu Nanfeng had been here once, so he was quite familiar with the way.
Zhu Yin’e followed behind, her brow furrowed, and said nothing more.
Upon entering the boudoir, a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, but Liu Nanfeng’s mind was not on such matters, and he went straight towards the bed.
Then, he saw Little Carp lying on the bed, sleeping soundly with her limbs spread out. A thin silk quilt covered her belly, exposing her tender little feet. Her hands were clenched into fists, placed on either side of her ears in a posture of surrender. Her little face was flushed red, and she appeared to be perfectly normal.
“Little Carp, Little Carp, wake up…”
Liu Nanfeng gently shook her body a few times, but Little Carp was completely unaware, still sleeping soundly, with no sign of waking up.
“We’ve already tried. She just won’t wake up,” Zhu Yuchan said from the side.
“Everything inside her is also normal. We can’t see anything unusual. It’s as if she’s just sleeping normally,” Zhu Yin’e added.
“What about her consciousness sea?” Liu Nanfeng continued to ask.
After all, she was not an ordinary person, and it was easy for Zhu Yin’e to enter Little Carp’s consciousness.
Zhu Yin’e shook her head. “Her consciousness sea is chaotic, and we can’t find any trace of her. Also, I tried to contact her through dreams, but I couldn’t find her in the dream sea either.”
This was very strange. Liu Nanfeng pointed a finger at his own brow. Countless concentric circles appeared from his eyes and then spread into the air, looking extremely mysterious.
At this moment, Little Carp’s condition inside her body was clearly visible in his eyes.
“How is it?” Zhu Yin’e asked somewhat nervously.
“She’s evolving,” Liu Nanfeng said in surprise. This was something he had never expected.
“Evolving?” Zhu Yin’e was a little surprised by this.
“Yes.”
Liu Nanfeng looked up, then quickly looked down, because Zhu Yin’e was also completely visible under his gaze.
Zhu Yin’e felt as if her body had been scanned from the inside out and immediately reacted, her cheeks flushing, but she didn’t say much.
Liu Nanfeng explained, “I activated the Kunpeng bloodline within her, but that was only a preliminary awakening. With the large amount of spiritual energy absorbed during this period, the Kunpeng bloodline has been strengthened and has begun to devour other impure bloodlines within her body.”
As Liu Nanfeng spoke, he gently tapped Little Carp’s forehead with his finger.
The light blue rune, originally hidden in her brow, reappeared.
At this moment, the blue rune emitted a radiant glow, with a force subtly intertwined with it. Anyone who looked at it felt their mind being captivated, as if they had entered a vast ocean world.
The blue seawater was like a giant mirror, reflecting the blue sky. The sea and sky merged into one, making it impossible to distinguish which was the sea and which was the sky.
Within this vast world, there was a great fish in the water and a great bird in the air.
The water reflected the great bird, and the sky reflected the great fish. The great fish and the great bird merged into one, appearing incredibly miraculous.
Liu Nanfeng and Zhu Yin’e were fine, but Zhu Yuchan, standing beside them, was sweating profusely. This was a suppression of bloodline.
Fortunately, Zhu Yin’e reacted in time, lightly patting her on the back and pulling her consciousness back.
“Yuchan, don’t look.”
“Thank you, Madam,” Zhu Yuchan said, panting.
“You should go out first,” Zhu Yin’e said.
Zhu Yuchan bowed slightly and left without a word. She really didn’t dare to stay any longer. It had been too dangerous just now; her mind had almost been taken, and she had completely lost herself.
But she hadn’t expected Little Carp to be so powerful. Was this the power of bloodline?
Zhu Yuchan fell into deep thought. This was not the first time she had felt the chasm between bloodlines. She had cultivated for no less time than Zhu Yin’e, yet their strength was vastly different.
However, bloodline was innate and could not be changed. Even though she felt powerless, she accepted her fate, but now…
“When will Little Carp wake up? Will she be in any danger?”
After Zhu Yuchan left, Zhu Yin’e finally asked.
“I don’t know.” Liu Nanfeng examined Little Carp’s physical condition again.
“There won’t be any danger. This is an evolutionary process of the Kunpeng, and I believe this might not be the first time.”
“Sigh~ I shouldn’t have agreed to you back then. It would have been fine if she had remained an ordinary, happy Little Carp,” Zhu Yin’e suddenly sighed.
Liu Nanfeng was silent for a moment, then said, “If this world had always been so calm and uneventful, I wouldn’t have brought this up with you, but now…”
“Did you foresee this?” Zhu Yin’e stared at him and asked.
She emphasized the word “foresee.”
It was clear she was trying to “force” Liu Nanfeng to admit whether he had recovered Feng Zhirun’s memories.
Although she already had her suspicions, she still wanted to confirm.
Liu Nanfeng sighed helplessly. Some things could not be hidden, and he answered truthfully.
As for what Liu Nanfeng and Zhu Yin’e discussed, it is unknown.
However, judging by Zhu Yin’e’s smiling face as she emerged from the room, it could be seen that she was very satisfied with Liu Nanfeng’s answer.
As for Little Carp, she was still sleeping soundly, and they could not interfere with the evolutionary process by external means.
