"No, if that fake Zhou Cong's soul is stronger than yours, then you will be devoured. He will take over all your space and do whatever he wants to you."
Hearing what the ball said, Chu Nian was quite shocked. She flashed into the space where the ball was and asked, "Did you hear what Xiao Jin said to me?" These two were in different spatial artifacts, and the two spatial artifacts were not connected.
Ball: "Just a stinky bird, humph!"
Chu Nian: "You said before that your insects are afraid of birds."
Ball: "The past is the past, the present is the present."
Chu Nian: "It's only been a few days."
Ball: "Thank you for your hospitality these past few days. Otherwise, if I had stayed in this place with extremely thin spiritual energy, I don't know when I would have been able to truly grow and hatch."
Chu Nian: "What exactly are you?" She now seriously suspects that once this thing hatches, it might completely overshadow her.
She now feels a deep sense of crisis.
Ball: "It's... probably a bug!"
Chu Nian exclaimed in horror, "What do you mean by 'probably'? Don't you even know if you're an insect or not?"
Ball: "Yes, it's a bug. It loves to eat sashimi. Can you let us go to that pond again to eat sashimi?"
Chu Nian: They switched to another one in just two sentences! I wonder how many worms are in this egg?
"Don't go to the pond. We are insects and we are most afraid of water."
"I think we are water insects, we are not afraid of water, and we love to eat raw fish."
"Wrong! Don't we love eating herbs?!"
"That's right, we love eating grass. We are vegetarian insects."
Chu Nianshen thought that the noise and chatter of these insects would give her a terrible headache. Oh, right, perhaps because these things have grown up, they can no longer communicate with brainwaves; they can speak human language directly, each with the voice of a three- or four-year-old child.
So now this space is not only filled with chaotic brainwaves, but also with noisy chatter.
Chu Nian, too lazy to listen to their noise, severed all contact between this spatial artifact and the outside world. She felt that the ball's words should serve as a warning. Putting aside how strong Zhou Cong's immortal soul could be (in fact, she had already discovered that Zhou Cong's immortal soul was not as strong as hers), just this ball alone made Chu Nian feel a great sense of crisis.
If this thing really hatches, Chu Nian doesn't think he can beat it. Judging from its current state, it can even hear Little Gold talking through space. Just how strong will it be when it hatches?!
Chu Nian was thinking that she needed to prepare early, lest she be devoured by a bunch of insects. However, she still couldn't figure out whether these insects were insect beasts from a fantasy world or insect-humans from an interstellar world.
Insect beasts can be suppressed through contracts, and since they are in the spatial artifacts that they have recognized as their masters, the possibility of backlash becomes very small under the double suppression.
As for the insect people, like Tuoba Hongyuan, Chu Nian used Gu to suppress them.
Therefore, beasts and humans must be suppressed using different methods.
Chu Nian still doesn't understand what this thing is. It seems that she has no knowledge of it in any of her books or past experiences.
After much consideration, she decided that she should prepare for both possibilities and take a two-pronged approach for a more prudent solution.
After returning, Zhou Cong and Yang Qiuyu repaired the house, which had been slightly damaged by the earthquake, and also took stock of the damaged antique collections. They couldn't help but feel heartbroken at the thought that their two most important treasures had vanished without a trace.
Chu Nian was only observing them from the shadows and hadn't shown herself for the past few days. She hadn't yet figured out how to restore Zhou Cong to his original form.
That day, she left Lan Dian in her house to keep an eye on the male and female protagonists, while she went to a well-known restaurant. Although she hadn't figured out how to complete the mission yet, she still needed to eat.
Although her true form is currently a sword, she has now taken human form, and her senses are no different from those of a human. She is not the kind of person who would mistreat herself.
Although this restaurant is famous, it's not a star-rated hotel. It's known for its home-style dishes and is a popular spot for ordinary people. The decor isn't particularly luxurious, and it doesn't occupy a large area, catering to a down-to-earth clientele.
The person at the counter who handles the payments is said to be the owner of this shop.
Chu Nian noticed that the proprietress had been staring at her ever since she came in. The key point was that she felt that the proprietress looked vaguely familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
However, she hadn't actually interacted with anyone since transmigrating, so even if she had seen this proprietress before, it was probably someone the original owner had met. But the proprietress probably hadn't left a deep impression on the original owner's memories, otherwise Chu Nian should have been able to remember her after careful recollection.
While eating, Chu Nian noticed that the proprietress had been staring at her for a long time before secretly making a phone call to someone.
A short while later, a woman who looked exactly like Chu Nian, but appeared to be in her thirties, opened the door and walked into the restaurant.
Chu Nian's current physical body was formed from the Immortal Blade, so she naturally looked much younger. The woman's age was about the same as Zhou Cong's, and because she looked exactly like Chu Nian, Chu Nian was reminded of someone from the original owner's memories as soon as she saw her.
In the original owner's memory, it was taken over by Zhou Cong using all his savings when Zhou Cong was only twenty years old. Therefore, it knew a lot about Zhou Cong's life and experiences over the past ten years.
In the original owner's memory, the girl Zhou Cong had liked since high school looked exactly like this. The girl's name was Chu Lan, and she was the most beautiful girl in Zhou Cong's class.
Unfortunately, they separated after starting university. Zhou Cong felt that his profession was too dangerous. Although he didn't go tomb raiding often, he was frequently invited to do scientific research. He was always on the go and felt that if he stayed with them, he would just be a burden to them.
Although Zhou Cong chose not to be with her, he often thought about her and would take out their old photo albums to look at, sometimes even muttering to himself.
The original owner took this form when she transformed, perhaps because she wanted Zhou Cong to see her as his first love and the white moonlight when he first saw her.
Unfortunately, when she took human form, Zhou Cong's core had already changed. Although she had the original Zhou Cong's memories and even joked that the original looked like his first love, he didn't feel anything for the original.
Based on this, the woman brought by the restaurant owner should be Chu Lan.
But to her surprise, Chu Lan looked in the direction the proprietress was pointing at Chu Nian, and her gaze fell on Chu Nian's face, and she immediately became excited.
