Chapter 2080 - 2069: Confused Silly Fox
"But isn't the heroine of that play called Bai Suzhen?"Xu Xiaoqing asked suspiciously, "Did you remember the name wrong?"
"Isn't it Hu Meiniang?"
Looking at Su Meiniang's confused expression, Xu Ruolan couldn't help but laugh.
Ning Fan chuckled to himself, "Who would have thought this silly fox would be such a muddlehead."
Xu Xiaoqing giggled, "Hu Meiniang is just a supporting character, she's a rabbit spirit, and the white snake you're talking about is called Bai Suzhen."
Su Meiniang said frantically, "It turns out I got it wrong. I'll change my name then."
"Su Suzhen?"
Xu Ruolan muttered softly, realizing her tongue was tied, quickly said, "Don't change your name; Meiniang is such a lovely name and suits you perfectly."
"Husband, what do you think?"
"Ah!"
Ning Fan, who had been pretending to be uninvolved, didn't expect the focus to shift back to him, "Well... just listen to Ruolan."
"I understand, I'll definitely listen to sister from now on."
Looking at the gentle and intelligent Su Meiniang, Xu Ruolan found herself growing increasingly fond of her.
"I must be crazy, she's a fairy, and a little fairy at that, who's trying to steal my husband."
Setting aside the matter temporarily, Xu Ruolan reassessed Vivian, with her dazzling blonde hair and mixed-race dark pupils.
"Such a delicate girl, just like a doll."
Xu Ruolan silently admired, instinctively directing her gaze towards Ning Fan, yet saying, "Xiaoqing, why didn't I know you have a friend like this? Hurry and introduce us."
"Sis, her name is Vivian, she's my..."
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing stammering and her eyes flickering, Xu Ruolan shook her head inwardly and smiled at Vivian, "Hello Vivian, I'm Xu Ruolan."
"You... hello."
Vivian seemed a bit flustered, not even daring to meet Xu Ruolan's gaze.
Whether this hint of awkwardness was due to Xu Ruolan being the sister of a Phoenix or Ning Fan's wife, she herself wasn't clear.
"Miss Vivian, I have a question for you."
Xu Ruolan glanced at Su Meiniang before saying, "How did you know at that time?"
Vivian spoke honestly, "I sensed it."
Though her divine power was suppressed, her divine sense remained.
Despite Su Meiniang transforming into human form, her fairy aura might fool Ning Fan, but definitely not her.
Xu Ruolan nodded in understanding, already categorizing Vivian as a cultivator like Ning Fan.
Noticing the slightly unusual atmosphere, Ning Fan stepped forward, saying, "Wife, actually Vivian isn't human either."
Xu Ruolan's eyes twitched before quickly calming down.
After the incident with Su Meiniang, encountering another fairy didn't seem remarkable.
"Is there an overseas fairy too?"
"Sis. Vivian is a dragon."
Xu Ruolan exclaimed, "A divine dragon!"
Even Su Meiniang couldn't help but glance over, her eyes tinged with fear.
After successful cultivation, she had accepted her bloodline's legacy.
She not only knew of divine dragons but also understood they were powerful divine beasts, different from them little fairies.
"Not an Eastern dragon, Vivian is the Western type, a lizard dragon."
"That silly girl has been told not to use the word 'lizard', hasn't she?"
Seeing no signs of Vivian flipping out, Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, Vivian."
Xu Xiaoqing smiled apologetically and continued, "Sis, it's the kind of large dragon with wings we often see in movies."
"That's the Western Dragon Clan."
Xu Ruolan gasped, covering her mouth as she looked at Vivian in disbelief.
Influenced by Eastern culture, she considered the white fox transforming into a human as a natural occurrence, not the least bit abrupt.
But the fierce-looking Western dragons transforming into doll-like delicate girls, the visual contrast was jarring no matter how she looked at it.
Noticing Xu Ruolan's complex expression, Ning Fan could only sigh, truly different life experiences.
"Ruolan, don't be scared. Vivian isn't like your imagination."
Xu Ruolan shook her head, just having momentary difficulty accepting things, unrelated to fear.
Since Ning Fan brought Vivian here, it proved there wasn't any danger.
"Sis, you don't know..."
Xu Xiaoqing leaned close to Xu Ruolan's ear, whispering about Vivian's origin.
Seeing Xu Ruolan's inquisitive gaze, Ning Fan nodded and said, "The space here is too small; why not go to the suburbs?"
"No need."
Xu Ruolan shook her head; she preferred to preserve this beautiful side.
"Vivian, welcome."
"Thank you."
As if the information today was overwhelming, Xu Ruolan suddenly said, "It's getting late. Everyone should get some rest."
"Sis, it's still early..."
Ning Fan hastily interjected, "Xiaoqing, take Vivian to her room."
"Alright then."
Xu Xiaoqing suddenly realized her sister's early exit likely meant she wanted to speak privately with Ning Fan.
Seeing Su Meiniang following behind, Ning Fan jestingly asked, "Meiniang, are you...?"
Su Meiniang said earnestly, "I'm here to attend to my husband as he retires."
"Oh, so it's to warm the bed!"
Mingled within Ning Fan's wandering thoughts, he quickly refocused, "No need. Your sister and I have some things to discuss; you should go rest."
"Indeed, Meiniang, you should go rest first."
"Then, I'll take my leave."
With the rightful wife advising similarly, Su Meiniang bowed slightly, reluctantly taking her leave.
Returning to the room, seeing Xu Ruolan silent all the while, Ning Fan nervously called out, "Wife, are you alright?"
"I..."
Xu Ruolan turned around, then buried herself in his embrace, softly saying, "Darling, I suddenly feel like this world is increasingly unreal. I didn't expect fairies to truly exist."
"Not just fairies, even ghosts exist."
Ning Fan chuckled silently, though inexplicably relieved.
"They've been around all along, just never discovered by us."
Ning Fan sighed, "Speaking of Su Meiniang, the day I was on Mount Hua for alchemy..."
Listening to Ning Fan recount it firsthand, Xu Ruolan felt àt ease yet pinched his waist, pouting, "I think you left that elixir on purpose knowing it, you found a treasure indeed, Su Meiniang is truly a good performer, even a woman like me is tempted."
Looking at the alluring red lips before him, Ning Fan kissed her, "No matter how beautiful she is, she pales compared to my wonderful wife."
"You flatterer."
Xu Ruolan coquettishly rolled her eyes at Ning Fan, "You're being honest."
"Wife, are you comfortable leaving Su Meiniang at home? She's a fox demon after all."
Compared to Vivian, Su Meiniang was like an innocent Baobao.
Whether in looks or strength, there was no comparing the two.
Yet Ning Fan could trust Vivian, while Su Meiniang was another matter.
Behind her charming face, no one knew what heart she cherished under that seven-orifice exquisite exterior.
Remember, fox spirits never symbolize good things.
