Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2072 - 2061: Prank

"Brother-in-law, what's going on?"Even Xu Xiaoqing herself didn't notice that her teeth were chattering as she spoke.

"Just turn around and see for yourself, won't you?"

Seeing Xu Xiaoqing's frightened expression, Ning Fan, though somewhat distressed, still gave tacit approval to the pressure Vivian was releasing.

Xu Xiaoqing is a lively and cheerful girl; perhaps she could even be described as "excessively lively and cheerful."

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

Especially after Xu Xiaoqing received the inheritance from the Celestial Clan, she herself didn't realize that she had become a bit more arrogant compared to before.

This is a very unfavorable phenomenon.

The more experiences Ning Fan had, the more he understood the complexity of the world, with many existences he couldn't provoke and had to deal with carefully.

Using Vivian's hand, Ning Fan simply wanted Xu Xiaoqing to understand that she must learn to assess the situation properly.

"Turn... turn around."

Xu Xiaoqing stiffly turned her neck, and after a long while, uttered, "Why are there two red lanterns in the sky?"

"Foolish human. Are you sure those are lanterns?"

Upon hearing the gloomy growl, Xu Xiaoqing was startled and let out a scream.

Under the moonless night, a massive silhouette could vaguely be seen in the darkness—a terrifying head full of sharp teeth.

"Dragon... dragon..."

Xu Xiaoqing was so scared she was babbling incoherently; the head before her looked exactly like the one she'd seen in movies.

"You... you are Vivian."

"Are you afraid now?"

Vivian opened her mouth, revealing two rows of dagger-like sharp teeth, and the saliva she sprayed seemed like acid, sizzling as it corroded the ground.

Xu Xiaoqing turned back hurriedly, "Brother... brother-in-law... brother-in-law, is Vivian really a dragon?"

"Haven't you already seen it?"

Ning Fan smiled, "This is indeed a genuine giant dragon."

As the words fell, a thunderous explosion sounded, and the ground began to shake violently,

followed by the booming sound of thunder, dense as drumbeats, the ground started to sway crazily like the sea swept by a hurricane.

At this moment, Vivian's tail whipped again and again, each collision with the ground brought about effects as if the heavens were changing.

In this earth-shattering upheaval, the birds resting in the forest frantically flapped their wings and soared into the sky.

A mighty flock of startled birds, like a cloud, covered the night sky.

Yet, the eerie thing was, besides the sound of wings flapping, there wasn't a single chirp heard.

Within the range of one kilometer centered on Vivian, it seemed like a death zone.

Whether flying birds or running beasts, those who got close to this range all silently collapsed on the ground.

The birds in the sky fell like rain, dropping rapidly.

If you observed closely, you'd find all the birds and beasts dead, succumbing to the pressure at the pinnacle of the biological chain.

The pressure of the top-tier creature from the Divine Realm, a Western dragon, is something neither ordinary beasts nor humans can resist.

After each collision, Xu Xiaoqing's complexion went a shade paler than before, with lips turned white and eyes dull.

Seeing this, Ning Fan inwardly cried out that it was bad, "This silly girl has lost her mind."

At this moment, Vivian's aura was still continuously rising.

If this continued, Xu Xiaoqing's mind would completely collapse, leaving an indelible psychological shadow.

Seeing that Vivian showed no sign of stopping, Ning Fan angrily ordered, "Enough, stop quickly."

Noticing Ning Fan's uncertain expression, Vivian knew he was genuinely angry; the deliberately released aura was drawn back into her body like a receding tide.

The frightened birds that had been flying around like headless flies returned to the forest with loud cries.

Some large beasts on the ground struggled to get up and then quickly fled this place.

The instant the aura disappeared, Xu Xiaoqing, drenched in sweat, collapsed onto the ground and then gasped for breath as if she had escaped death.

"Xiaoqing, are you alright?"

Xu Xiaoqing turned back and said, "I'm okay..."

Just at this moment, a loud roar came, "I'm going to eat you!"

Vivian opened her dragon mouth wide and blew out a fierce wind.

Having just recovered herself, Xu Xiaoqing was immediately knocked down by the gale and didn't get up for a long time.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"

Ning Fan rushed over and found Xu Xiaoqing's eyes lacking any focus, her whole being wooden and dazed.

If it weren't for signs of life still present, the scene before him seemed as though something unfortunate had happened.

"Xiaoqing, wake up. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have done this."

Seeing Xu Xiaoqing unresponsive, still staring blankly, Ning Fan's eyes flamed with anger, "Vivian, look what you've done."

Vivian said softly, "I... I was just joking."

She was already aware of the seriousness of the situation, and felt anxious about the consequences to come.

"Joking, my foot. Do you realize that what you did might have scared her to death?"

If it wasn't for the remaining rationality reminding Ning Fan, he probably would have taken action by now.

After Vivian restrained her aura, Xu Xiaoqing was still in a frightened state, just recovering when suddenly encountering another shock, the consequences were conceivable— her soul might have been scared down to only half.

"You troublemaker, shouldn't you come over here and protect her."

Xu Xiaoqing's current situation is commonly known as soul loss syndrome.

When a person is severely frightened, their three souls and seven spirits are shaken, causing some people with an inherently weak constitution to end up with their soul leaving the body.

Some with strong soul bodies and blazing soul fire can have their escaped soul return voluntarily after a while.

But for others, their departed soul cannot return to the body, resulting in one of their three souls and seven spirits missing, leading them to madness.

Even though Ning Fan believes Xu Xiaoqing's soul body isn't weak, he doesn't dare to gamble on this matter.

He cannot afford the cost of losing the bet.

Ning Fan now needs to find Xu Xiaoqing's lost soul by projecting his soul.

"Not sure if I can still project my soul?"

Just as Ning Fan thought of this question, a sudden change occurred.

"So hot!"

Ning Fan exclaimed in surprise, looking down in bewilderment.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoqing in his arms felt like a red-hot branding iron.

Despite Ning Fan's efforts to hold on, the temperature kept rising, threatening to burn his hands into charcoal.

In the end, Ning Fan reluctantly put Xu Xiaoqing down.

The temperature from Xu Xiaoqing continued to climb, the intense heat causing the night sky around her to dance like the aurora.

Ning Fan swore the temperature seemed capable of melting iron.

Yet strangely, neither her clothes nor the grass beneath her showed any signs of burning.

"How can this be?"

Hearing Vivian's voice, Ning Fan said harshly, "Look at the mess you've made."
