Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1994 - 1983: Our Promise

Of course. Ning Fan would never admit that when the Black Dragon hadn't transformed into a human, he planned to leash it as a pet.Looking at Ryan Town, almost razed to the ground, Ning Fan frowned, then dashed into the rubble to search for bodies.

The Black Dragon issue has been resolved, but the disappearances in the Western cultivation world remain a mystery.

It's not entirely without clues.

Combining the girl's story, Ning Fan has a vague idea. Now, he just needs some "definite" weight to his thoughts.

Mary, pulling along a mentally challenged girl, introduces her to human society, while giving her a crash course in human views.

And Ning Fan wasn't idle either, flipping through the ruins every second.

But after almost two days, Ning Fan hadn't found a single corpse.

Ryan Town isn't small, whether it's the top ten mages of the Exorcism Association or the various alien races, they all disappeared without leaving a trace.

"The Black Dragon mentioned that the people who besieged it disappeared suddenly."

That's the suspicion Ning Fan harbored due to this statement.

He suspects that everyone in the Western cultivation world disappeared in such a manner.

And the mastermind, needless to mention, must be Divine Spirits that can overlook the river of time.

Erased the New York incident out of thin air, and swept up the people of the Western cultivation world,

Ning Fan doesn't understand the purpose of the Divine Spirits doing this.

Where were the people of the Western cultivation world taken to? This is also unclear to him.

There's one thing Ning Fan doesn't understand: why did Mary escape unscathed without having her memory erased?

And the girl too, otherwise she wouldn't know, after seeing the people besieging her disappear.

"Why only the two of them? What's the connection?"

Just then, Ning Fan had a flash of inspiration, as if he'd thought of something, yet seemed to have thought of nothing.

Looking at the two walking hand in hand towards him, Ning Fan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He's well aware of the girl's nature; how could this proud demigod easily show kindness to "vermin".

How could she allow "vermin" to touch her noble divine body?

Just like humans and ants, how could they be friends.

If there were emotions accumulated over time, that wouldn't be strange,

but it's only been two days, and they've become as close as sisters, which is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.

Mary must be fine.

This newbie ghost inadvertently completed "self-redemption", turning into a standard good person template.

But this girl with an angelic face and a devilish heart is where Ning Fan is most worried.

"Could she still have some plans?"

In Ning Fan's slightly narrowed eyes, a trace of coldness passed by.

He's not a lust-driven fool. His kindness, tolerance, and even guilt towards the girl are all based on a foundation of harmonious coexistence.

But if the girl relies on this to mess around behind his back,

Then Ning Fan can only tell the girl she's picked the wrong fight.

The beauties who've died by Ning Fan's hands are more than just one or two, so adding another wouldn't matter.

"Speaking of which, she's been quite leisurely these two days."

In Ning Fan's plan, he would find excuses from time to time to punish the girl, reminding her of her situation.

But these two days Ning Fan was busy searching for corpses, plus the girl behaved herself without causing trouble, so he forgot about the teaching moments.

"Vivian, let's head to Fifth Avenue later, you'll surely like it there."

At this moment, Mary was already leading the girl towards Ning Fan.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan immediately realized "Vivian" was the girl's name.

"But her real name isn't..."

Remembering a string of tongue-twisting names, Ning Fan felt headache-inducing and didn't want to think further.

Ning Fan only needs to know that the girl's real name can't possibly be shortened to "Vivian".

"So Mary picked this name?"

This is exactly what he's puzzled about.

The girl has a deep obsession with her name. This long string of names represents her identity, ancestral glory, and so on. In short, the name is a symbol of some status.

Therefore, the girl was unwilling to alter or simplify a single word, otherwise Mary wouldn't have bothered.

"There's something unusual."

It's not that Ning Fan is paranoid, but given the girl's personality, she still hasn't earned his trust.

"Ning Fan, did you find what you're looking for?"

Mary asked gently, implying if they could leave.

Noticing the expectation in Mary's eyes, seemingly eager to take the mentally challenged girl to see the bustling metropolis,

Ning Fan responded smoothly, "We can leave here."

"Vivian. Let's go."

Seeing Mary's behavior of finding a new friend and forgetting old ones like an ingrate, Ning Fan hurriedly said, "Mary, is Vivian really her name?"

"Forgot to introduce you."

Mary smiled apologetically and then said, "Vivian, how does that name sound? I picked it."

"Certainly."

Ning Fan looked at the girl with a half-smile, gently asking, "Vivian, do you like this name?"

"I like it a lot. And thanks to Sister Mary."

In two days, this Black Dragon from the Divine Realm seems to have understood some human rules.

Most importantly, the violent and gloomy aura is completely gone. Although still wearing that overly rustic robe, she carries the demeanor of a noble young lady.

"A shrew becomes a princess. Interesting!"

Ning Fan sneered, then nodded and said, "Let's set off then."

Using the excuse that teleportation magic formation interferes with soul bodies, Ning Fan put Mary into his sleeve.

Anyway, Vivian knows her identity, so Mary didn't resist, greeted, and then vanished as a white light.

Once Mary disappeared, Ning Fan immediately dropped the facade and challenged, "You seem to really like the name Vivian."

"Of course. That's the name Sister Mary gave me, so I naturally like it."

The girl smiled serenely, following Mary's instructions, showing a ladylike manner without exposing her teeth when smiling.

"But I remember you once said your name was unique, not only symbolizing honor, but representing yourself."

Ning Fan said with a half-smile, "So tell me what's going on."

Seeing Vivian silent, Ning Fan sneered, "Among people, naming themselves 'Vivian' isn't just thousands but tens of thousands. With your arrogance, how could you use the same name as others."

"I..."

"You're letting me down. I thought we were friends who could be honest with each other."

Saying this, Ning Fan felt an inexplicable awkwardness, but still maintained his stern expression,

"Do you remember our agreement? If you continue to stay silent, I can only resort to certain measures."
