The original owner's body was a corpse that had been without a soul for some time. Lan Nian was a lonely soul who used this corpse to regain her soul, but a corpse is still a corpse, and ordinary sleeping pills have no effect on her.
However, both Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong had gone through the stage of corpse cultivation, so no one was probably more knowledgeable than them about how to deal with the physical body of a corpse.
As Chu Nian spoke, she sat up, her eyes still sleepy as she looked at the two of them. But the glint in her sleepy eyes already spoke volumes about her uniqueness.
Lin Jingting stared at her, his brows furrowed, as if trying to see the shadow of another person in her.
Lou Qianzong then asked him, "This Lan Nian is speaking so strangely, could it be that we've made a mistake again?"
"I..." Lin Jingting hesitated, unable to answer. He still couldn't figure out who the person in front of him was, so he stared at Chu Nian and looked her over.
Lou Qianzong had already taken out a talisman and was about to throw it away.
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Even in such a disheveled state, you still have talismans to use. That's really impressive!"
Lou Qianzong, somewhat nervous, said, "Lin Jingting, this woman speaks and talks in a completely different way than the Lan Nian we rescued. She's probably not the same one. It seems we've really made a mistake again." He then tried to throw a talisman.
Lin Jingting suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, shouting, "Wait!"
"What?" Lou Qianzong asked, puzzled.
Lin Jingting looked at Chu Nian and tentatively asked, "Nian Nian?"
Chu Nian responded with a lazy, faint smile.
Lin Jingting exclaimed with joy, "It's... Nian Nian?"
Chu Nian immediately straightened her expression and nodded, saying "Mm".
Lou Qianzong seemed to understand something, staring at Chu Nian and involuntarily frowning.
Chu Nian kicked him again, saying, "You know it's me, why are you frowning?" Then she rolled her eyes at him.
Lou Qianzong: "I finally understand why so many women named 'Nian' have appeared in my life. Were they all meant for you?"
"You've got it backwards, haven't you?" Chu Nian said helplessly. She should say she came for them. She came to quell their resentment.
Lou Qianzong clearly didn't believe her words. He pointed outside and said, "Since it's you, you must have some skills. You can deal with the 'you' outside yourself. Lin Jingting and I are leaving." After saying that, he pulled Lin Jingting to leave, but Lin Jingting shook off his hand.
"What are you doing?" Lou Qianzong asked angrily.
Lin Jingting: "She said that the three of us have an unbreakable bond, while others are like flowing water. No matter what their intentions are, only this intention is the one I want to find and save."
Lou Qianzong: "You knew all along that she would one day transmigrate into this Lan Nian's body, so you disregarded everything, even though your magic power is now sealed, you're still doing your best to protect this Lan Nian, aren't you?"
"Yes," Lin Jingting said, then paused and added, "This isn't the first time you've met her, so you should be able to guess who she is."
Lou Qianzong recalled the past, the events of thousands and tens of thousands of years ago, and began to count on his fingers: "Yi Nian, Luo Nian, Ye Nian, Baili..." He suddenly stopped talking here, and glared at Chu Nian with a sinister look in his eyes.
Chu Nian nodded and smiled, "I am your mother."
Lou Qianzong let out a mocking laugh.
Lin Jingting asked Chu Nian, "Did you inherit Lan Nian's memories?"
Chu Nian nodded.
Lin Jingting: "Then you should also understand that this world has experienced time-space overlap before. I remember mentioning it to you once."
Chu Nian nodded again and said, "Moreover, coincidentally, there is another person in this world who has the same experience as you, and is determined to kill her other versions of herself in other timelines."
Lin Jingting asked, "Do you think this is a coincidence or inevitable?"
Chu Nian couldn't figure it out for a moment, and only pondered, "If it's inevitable, why didn't other people who overlapped experience this? But if it's a coincidence, why isn't it just you who encountered this situation?"
Lou Qianzong said, "Therefore, it is not a coincidence but an inevitability, but there must be some pattern in it."
Chu Nian nodded.
As the three were talking, they suddenly heard a voice outside that sounded exactly like Chu Nian's: "You lot, I already know you're hiding inside. Hurry up and come out, there's no use struggling anymore!"
Lin Jingting had set up a magic array outside the cave. Although they couldn't use their magic power for the time being, they still had a lot of treasures, so they still had some ways to protect themselves.
So at this moment, Lan Nian couldn't get in at all; she was just bluffing the three of them!
Lin Jingting pointed outside and asked Chu Nian, "Do you think you can handle Lan Nian outside?"
Chu Nian said, "Tell me first, how exactly did she seal your magic power?"
Although the original owner knew that the two of them had been ambushed, she knew nothing about cultivation and magic, so she didn't know exactly how they had been ambushed.
Lin Jingting said, "She must have a special magic weapon. However, I feel that magic weapon is only effective against special people."
Chu Nianqi asked, "What kind of special person?"
Lin Jingting: "People like us who have traveled through time."
Chu Nian seemed to understand something and said, "They are not native to this overlapping time and space."
Lin Jingting nodded and said, "That's right."
Chu Nian stroked his chin and pondered, "Then, for me, wouldn't everyone in this world belong to a time and space other than my own?!"
Lou Qianzong frowned, somewhat alarmed, and said, "What's wrong with you, woman? Shouldn't you be thinking about how to ensure your magic isn't sealed by her?"
Lin Jingting burst out laughing.
Chu Nian said seriously, "The way to ensure that she doesn't seal my magic power is to take that treasure from her."
Lou Qianzong's eyelids twitched, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then you should think about how to take that treasure!" After thinking for a moment, he added, "But you have to make sure that she doesn't seal your magic power before you take it."
Chu Nian smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that!"
Lin Jingting asked curiously, "What are your plans?"
Chu Nian shook her head and said, "No."
Lin Jingting immediately looked helpless.
The sound of Lan Nian bombarding the magic array could be heard from outside.
Chu Nian asked, "How long can your magic array last?"
Lin Jingting said, "She has many magical treasures on her, many of which we don't know about, so..." He really couldn't be sure about this.
Chu Nian sighed helplessly.
Because the original owner's soul had once merged with Lan Nian's, she knew a little about the magical treasures Lan Nian possessed, but she didn't know how to use them.
Only the original owner understood the function of the magical artifacts that Lan Nian had used and that had demonstrated their effectiveness.
