Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1992 - 1981: Slapping Someone's Face

Ghosts, as long as they don't exceed the human peak, have even lower status than humans in the eyes of a divine being like the girl.Noticing the disdain in the girl's tone, Ning Fan reminded, "She's my friend."

Fearing the girl might sneeze and kill Mary.

"Oh, so she's your friend, sir. What a cute ghost."

Seeing the girl's sudden change of attitude, Ning Fan was stunned, then pondered the relationship between lizards and chameleons.

Focusing on Mary, who was still in a dazed, shut-down state from fright.

This is the fearsome nature of divine beings; mere presence is enough to scare Mary into silence.

Bear in mind, Mary is no longer an ignorant rookie ghost; she has witnessed many important people and events.

"For a ghost, healing with soul power is naturally the best."

Mary's injury wasn't physical but more like a mental shock.

"I wonder if the Light of Life could work?"

Thinking of this, Ning Fan tried channeling the Light of Life into Mary's soul body.

Bits of colorful light gathered around Ning Fan, drifting towards Mary like ribbons.

Of course, this ribbon could not be seen with the naked eye.

"Divine Power?"

The girl, indeed a demigod with divine fire lit, keenly sensed the fluctuations of the Light of Life.

"What a waste."

The girl blurted out, then quickly smiled as Ning Fan looked at her, "Sir, you are so great. This ghost is incredibly lucky to have a friend like you."

"Her name is Mary."

Ning Fan introduced her briefly, then sighed, "And don't call me 'sir' anymore, just call me 'Ning Fan,' that's my name."

The girl blinked, somewhat excitedly asked, "Is this your real name?"

"What do you mean real name? Of course, that's my name. I don't change my name for anything."

"Oh."

The girl nodded, her eyes flickering, thinking about something.

The origin of the Light of Life is a mystery, its function unknown.

In Ning Fan's eyes, these sparkling colorful lights turned into a universal remedy.

Noticing Mary didn't show any rejection, Ning Fan comfortably increased the output of the Light of Life.

Soon, Mary's dazed eyes showed a hint of life.

"You're finally awake."

Though he didn't have much friendship with Mary, and almost sent her to reincarnate, she is Alice's "pet," so Ning Fan naturally cared.

Later, he learned that Mary endured a Holy Force Slash and risked soul dissolution to seek help for Alice.

This time, Ning Fan truly regarded Mary as a friend, not just a cute pet.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine."

Mary shook her head, looking good, her soul body vibrant, indeed not seeming troubled.

"Where is this place?"

Looking at the ruins, a trace of confusion flashed in Mary's eyes, then quickly turned to terror, "Where is that evil Black Dragon?"

"Evil?"

Upon hearing this adjective, the girl's eyes flashed with a fierce light, pondering whether to swallow this ghost whole or roast it.

At this moment, the girl felt the Dragon Crystal move, and then a sweet smile appeared.

Originally intending to reveal the girl's identity, but seeing Mary's scared expression, Ning Fan decided to abandon the idea, "That Black Dragon has already been defeated by me."

"Really? That's great."

Mary's expression relaxed visibly, not doubting Ning Fan's words, even without seeing a corpse.

In Mary's heart, Ning Fan was almost equivalent to a divine spirit, though only in power.

A devout believer like Mary would never think true divine spirits would date vampires or mix with a ghost like herself.

"By the way. Who is this pretty girl?"

Mary finally noticed the girl.

"What pretty girl? I am a battle-hardened warrior. See this scar, it's from when I fought the Void Star Beast..."

The excited girl rolled up her sleeve to showcase her "honor badge."

Looking at the smooth, jade-like arm, a question mark popped up on Mary's head; not a scar, not even a vein could be seen on the exquisite skin.

"I know. It must be on my body."

Saying this, the girl started to undress, planning a grand transformation.

"Ahem... ahem..."

Ning Fan coughed lightly and said calmly, "Do you remember what I just said?"

"Yes."

The girl reluctantly let down her hands.

Ning Fan's first rule: Under any circumstance, if others are present, one must not undress.

Offenders activate switch for ten minutes, double the time for a second offense, and so on.

"But I'm truly a battle-hardened warrior."

The girl complained discontently, eager to display her fierce, terrifying wounds.

Every wound represents a tough battle, a badge of honor.

The word "pretty" is undoubtedly insulting to the Dragon Clan.

Dragons prefer to exhibit their scars to others.

The more scars, the better; the more peculiar the wound, the better.

The number of scars equals the Dragon Clan's sense of aesthetics.

"I believe you're a great warrior."

Hearing this, Mary froze, then noticed Ning Fan winking at her, immediately responded with a knowing smile and said, "We believe you."

The girl ignored Mary's acknowledgment, her bright eyes fixed on Ning Fan, seriously asking, "Is it true?"

"Of course, it's true. I'm well aware of your power." Ning Fan said solemnly, "I am not as good as you."

Ning Fan's words were sincere; if the girl had chosen to restore her power upon waking, the result would have been entirely different.

Simply put, the girl had a hand full of aces, wasted by her.

But Ning Fan's heartfelt words sounded like gentlemanly elegance to Mary.

"That's more like it."

The girl nodded with satisfaction, though Ning Fan, in her eyes, was just a "strong bug," but a bug she couldn't kill.

Recognition from Ning Fan felt high-class.

As she looked at the girl, like a delicate doll, Mary couldn't help but ask, "Young lady, how come you're here?"

"I'm not a young lady, I am from..."

The fuming girl calmed down upon Ning Fan's coughing once again.

Ning Fan's second rule: Never disclose origins or reveal Black Dragon identity.

Offenders trigger switch for one hour minimum, with no upper limit.

Having heard only half, Mary had no choice but to glance at Ning Fan in confusion.

"It's like this..."

Ning Fan pulled Mary aside, revealing the girl's "true" background.

The girl was a native of Ryan Town, an alien clan of unknown specifics.

After killing the Black Dragon, Ning Fan rescued her from the ruins.
