Chapter 649: Stay Out of Fairy Matters (8)
"Stay home and take good care of father and mother. I’m going out for a walk and will be back later. I’ve studied every day and my mind is getting muddled."
No matter how Lann Zhen called out, Chang Xian left quickly, not even turning his head.
Lann Zhen wiped tears behind him and sobbed softly. He felt no pity; only that she had become like those mundane women, learning nothing but how to use tears to control him.
Indeed, he had yet to meet a woman who understood him. At least Lann Zhen no longer did. She had become selfish, just like others, urging him to study, vain and superficial.
Outside the study, only Lann Zhen was left, somewhat dazed.
She didn’t quite understand why this happened. Why had her once caring husband, who used to cheer her up, become impatient?
Qiann Yan and Xuan Shuang appeared before her in their true forms. Upon seeing them, Lann Zhen hurriedly wiped her tears and spoke before Qiann Yan could open her mouth: "Big sister, I won’t be going back. No matter what you say, it won’t change my decision to stay. My husband is merely confused; he will return."
Xuan Shuang sneered, "Isn’t he just a heartless man?"
"This is just a trial in our relationship," Lann Zhen said stubbornly, "You wouldn’t understand. I understand my husband; he doesn’t particularly like reading. If I hadn’t lost my immortal power, I would have assisted him to study diligently."
Xuan Shuang: "Are you blaming Big Sister?"
Lann Zhen remained silent, but her expression showed a hint of it.
Qiann Yan: "I’m not your big sister anymore. You’re no longer a Fairy of the Immortal Grass Garden; you’re a mortal now. This was your choice. Don’t blame anyone."
Lann Zhen furrowed her brows, her confusion palpable, as if asking why they had appeared if not to persuade her. She still believed that Qiann Yan and Xuan Shuang were there because they thought she was suffering and might decide to return.
Qiann Yan: "I sensed Chang Xian was facing a calamity, today."
"Don’t overthink it. I’m not here to persuade you to return. I’m just here to see the outcome, and then I’ll leave."
Lann Zhen was stunned, almost as if she didn’t recognize Qiann Yan.
But upon thinking that Chang Xian would encounter a calamity, she became anxious: "Big sister, what trouble will my husband face?"
Qiann Yan: "Just wait and see."
What are you worrying about? You’ll know by the afternoon.
Lann Zhen watched Qiann Yan unwilling to speak further and chased in the direction of Chang Xian.
By afternoon, the Chang Family became lively.
Chang Xian was carried back by several of his friends, his face blackened, with the panicked Lann Zhen beside him.
The Chang Family hastily called doctors to treat Chang Xian; but one by one, the doctors only shook their heads, asking the family to prepare for his funeral, unable to save him.
Lann Zhen cried bitterly on the side, recalling something, she ran swiftly back to where Qiann Yan appeared, calling softly for Qiann Yan and Xuan Shuang.
Qiann Yan and Xuan Shuang revealed their true forms, and Lann Zhen knelt down with a thud: "Big sister, I implore you to save my husband. If you are willing to help, I am willing to return with you, never to descend to the mortal world, never to see him again."
Xuan Shuang: In the past, how did we not notice Lann Zhen had a screw loose?
Qiann Yan remained expressionless, unmoved. Lann Zhen panicked and kowtowed repeatedly, breaking her forehead: "My husband was bitten by a Spider Demon, suffering from a deadly poison. Doctors in the mortal world are unable to cure him. Big sister, I beg you to act, saving a life surpasses building a Level 7 pagoda... I swear, as long as big sister is willing to save my husband, I will never descend to the mortal world again. Should I descend, let me be struck by lightning five times, my soul flying and scattering."
