Chapter 67 Sister
In front of the ruins of Qunfang Tower.
Chu Menghuai glanced at Jian Anning, who had been silent for a long time, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go with me?"
She had heard that Lu Fei had come early, and Jian An Ning had no other relatives or friends in Dongchang. If Lu Fei died, she would be alone.
But Jian Anning shook her head and said, "I have other things to do."
Chu Menghuai felt that this person was a bit strange, but since they were not familiar with each other, she didn't say much.
So she said, "I have avenged my great hatred, but there are still many cases of cultivators committing evil and oppressing mortals in this world. There is no way for mortals to cultivate in Dongchang, so I will leave Dongchang."
"The world is so big, and it will ask me to find an opportunity. Are you really not going to go?"
Jian An Ning still shook her head slowly.
Chu Menghuai had no choice but to bow to her and say goodbye.
Jian An Ning watched her figure go away, but she saw from the corner of her eye that the gold exposed in the collapsed Qunfang Building suddenly turned into gold powder, and the gold powder recombined, and a brand new Qunfang Building was slowly taking shape.
The little fox also saw this scene and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Because what's revealed to the public isn't the true lifeblood of the temple," Jian Anning whispered, placing the fox on the ground. "Go and eat these things. If you can swallow and digest them all, you'll have a chance to transform back into a human form."
The fox's eyes suddenly lit up, and without Jane An Ning saying anything, it darted out with a "whoosh", as fast as a gust of wind.
Jian Anning looked at the reorganized gold powder, which was becoming less and less at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely disappeared.
The fox stumbled towards her and then fainted completely.
She bent down and held the fox in her arms. At this moment, Qunfang Tower was still in ruins, and the remaining broken stones and rotten wood had no ability to be reassembled.
A drizzle of rain began to fall, as if something was lamenting.
Then, Jian An Ning walked towards the intersection where Lu Fei was killed. She still remembered the common sense of collecting the body.
But then she thought, the fate between Lu Fei and her had become extremely deep since she didn't know when, maybe he would not die.
For the first time, a glimmer of hope and luck arose in her heart. For a moment, she seemed to understand why all living beings prayed to God.
The rain soaked her clothes and her hair into wisps, with small streams of water flowing down her hair.
The fox's fur in her arms was also soaked by the rain, but it was still sleeping and unaware.
Jian An Ning came to the alley again in the heavy rain. It was clean and tidy, and Lu Fei's body was not there.
Where did Lu Fei go? She thought, with Lu Fei's serious injuries at the time, it was impossible for him to recover and leave on his own. Someone must have taken him away.
Who took Lu Fei away, and where is Lu Fei now?
She felt a little anxious and had many unspeakable emotions in her heart, and the most prominent one was the worry that could not be ignored, which was the worry about Lu Fei.
Jane Anning looked at her fingertips. She looked at the tough red line wrapped around her fingers. The red line continued to spread into the distance, and she followed the red line and walked further into the distance.
But the distance was not that far. Lu Fei took her to visit all over Luming City. She was familiar with every street, especially the road guided by the red line. She didn't know how many times she had walked on it.
Finally, the red line fell on the small courtyard at the end of the long street, which was Lu Fei's home.
Jian An Ning felt a little confused, but she still strode forward, pushed open the gate, and walked to the thatched cottage.
She pushed the door open and saw Lu Fei lying on the bed. His wounds had been properly treated, but his lips and face were pale.
Jian An Ning couldn't describe how she felt when she saw Lu Fei. She just felt as if a big stone had finally fallen to the ground in her heart, and all her worries and fears were finally relieved.
But who saved Lu Fei? New doubts arose in her heart.
At this moment, footsteps and muttering were suddenly heard outside the door.
"Why are humans so troublesome?"
Jian An Ning's eyes widened instantly and looked at the person who came.
The person who came was a woman dressed in black, and her face looked exactly like Jane An Ning.
When they stood facing each other, it was like a mirror reflecting the people in it.
"Jia Lan?" Jian An Ning called out her name directly.
"Sister? You're really here!"
The woman named Jia Lan was so ecstatic that she even threw away the medicine she was going to give to Lu Fei. She rushed to Jian An Ning like a young swallow and hugged her tightly in her arms.
"Sister, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
"I'm here." Jian An Ning comforted softly.
"Who is plotting against my sister?" Jia Lan was overjoyed, but then she fell into deep thought. "Who could have known that my sister would go to get the fruit of the sacred Fusang tree for me?"
"Who could have set up an ambush there, made my sister take fake hibiscus fruit, and thus cut off the innate connection between you and me?"
Jia Lan frowned as she looked at Jian An Ning carefully, then added, "You even let your sister be trapped in a mortal body?"
Jian Anning put the fox in her arms on the ground, picked up the herbs Jialan had thrown away, and said calmly, "Who else could it be?"
Jia Lan immediately suspected someone and said with a hint of disdain, "It's that bunch of resentful losers."
"I guess there are still some guys who are still alive. Only guys like that would do such a thing," Jia Lan said with a tone full of resentment. He added: "When it's time for that kind of waste to die, can't it just die honestly?"
Lu Fei and Fox were both unconscious in the hut. Jian An Ning was used to hearing Jia Lan's complaints, so no one expressed any objection to Jia Lan's words.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Jialan saw Jane Anning picking up the herbs from the ground and trying to crush them in a human way, as if she wanted to treat that human.
"Treat his injuries." Jian An Ning replied softly.
"He's just a person. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt. If he dies, he dies. What's the big deal?" Jia Lan expressed her confusion about Jian An Ning's behavior.
Jian Anning thought for a while and explained, "Because he saved me and helped me a lot."
"But sister, you don't need his help at all, right?" Jia Lan frowned more and more, and continued, "This body is filled with the resentment of those guys. Your soul is trapped inside and can't break free, and I can't destroy this body either."
"Only humans can use weapons to free your soul. If he saves you, won't that delay your reunion with me?"
Jane Anning: ...
She knew her sister didn't like humans very much, but she did want to stay in the human world for a while longer.
So, Jian An Ning said, "But, haven't you always said that the human world is interesting? During my time in the human world, I have indeed felt the kind of fun you described."
Jia Lan rolled her eyes, and with a smile, she took Jian An Ning's hand, stopped her from making medicine, and said to Jian An Ning, "The human world is indeed very interesting. I have always wanted my sister to accompany me to the human world to play."
"But sister," Jia Lan looked up at her and said slowly, "I see that you and that human are entwined by an unbreakable red thread. Is your desire to stay in the human world now because it's interesting, or because of that person you have such a deep connection with?"
Jian Anning thought about it and said honestly, "Maybe both?"
"No, no, I won't allow it," Jia Lan said with a hint of anger, and continued, "If it's because of that human, then what's the difference between me and those who are afraid of death because of ignorance and connections?"
"Those humans don't know that the body is perishable, but the soul is immortal. No matter how a living being dies, it will be reborn in reincarnation."
"Sister, you and I can see through reincarnation, how can we be the same as those humans?"
"But I'm also a human being now," Jian Anning gestured towards her twice and said with a faint smile, "Look, no matter how you look at it, I'm a real person, right?"
Jia Lan's brows were furrowed more and more, but Jian An Ning's words made her unable to refute. However, she still did not let Jian An Ning continue to tinker with the herbs.
She walked towards Lu Fei with a hint of disgust and said, "This person's life is not destined to end. I can save him without being affected by the karma of the human world. I will save him. But your sister, I see that the karma of the human world is increasing. You'd better be careful, or you will be trapped in the human world and unable to return."
Jia Lan waved gently at Lu Fei.
Lu Fei's originally pale face quickly turned rosy, and his internal organs that had been severely injured before began to heal. His breathing gradually became even, as if he was asleep.
When Lu Fei opened his eyes again, he found that he was back home and did not feel any discomfort.
However, as soon as he stood up, he found that there was a man lying under his bed.
The man had a very charming appearance, with some feminine features, and was wearing a crimson robe.
"Why is there a stranger here?"
Lu Fei was startled and quickly retreated, hitting the wall of the hut directly, making a loud noise.
The man was awakened by the noise, opened his eyes drowsily, and happened to see his own human-like hands.
"I became a human!" His voice was full of surprise.
And Lu Fei said silently: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Su Jiang." The fox transformed into human form said to Lu Fei.
Su Jiang? Lu Fei pondered in his mind. He seemed to have heard Jian An Ning mention this name before. Then he widened his eyes and said, "Aren't you a fox?"
"Foxes can also transform into humans." Su Jiang explained.
Lu Fei still felt a little bit unable to accept it, and asked again: "Did you save me?"
Su Jiang shook her head repeatedly and said, "Don't get me wrong, they were the ones who saved you."
Su Jiang pointed in the direction of the door, and saw Jian An Ning and Jia Lan push the door open together.
Two identical faces caught Lu Fei's eye.
He couldn't hide the astonishment on his face at all. When he woke up, the amount of information he took in was really overwhelming.
