Lan Nian naturally understood what she meant, but she didn't want to stay and be a slave!
However, she was no match for Chu Nian, and besides, the main pen knife had already fallen into Chu Nian's hands. If she wanted to leave and never see Chu Nian again, she would have to have the ability to do so.
She stood there with a dark expression, feeling deeply frustrated, and was almost in tears.
Lou Qianzong couldn't help but chuckle, muttering, "Back when I was frantically devouring living souls, I probably never imagined I'd end up like this!"
"Shut up!" Lan Nian roared. "What's it to you? You're a defeated opponent, a half-human separated from someone else's body just like me, what right do you have to talk to me?!"
Lou Qianzong asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean by 'half-human separated from someone else'? Explain yourself clearly!"
Chu Nian quickly said, "Tch, who isn't flesh of their mother's flesh? Who in this world isn't like that? Lan Nian, if you keep babbling, I'll spank you! Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook!"
Lan Nian's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot after being told to "go to the kitchen and cook." She stood there staring at Chu Nian, stunned. But after Chu Nian glared back, she had no choice but to reluctantly go into the kitchen.
Chu Nian added, "It has to be food for immortals!"
Lan Nian shouted angrily, "Do you have those ingredients?"
Chu Nian: "I remember seeing in your memories that you have a top-notch spatial artifact, filled with divine-level ingredients. That spatial artifact looks very familiar to me. Should I cast a spell to summon it and let everyone see it?"
Lan Nian immediately became obedient upon hearing this.
That spatial artifact actually belonged to Chu Nian before he descended to the mortal realm. After Lan Nian was separated from the pen knife by Chu Nian, he was sealed inside the heart that Chu Nian had dissected.
Because its heart had been severed from its main body, it developed its own sentience out of resentment. Drawn by the aura of the main body in the book, and sensing that the main body was dissecting its heart again, it was filled with intense indignation and actually broke free from the magic array of the treasure box and escaped into the world in the book.
Lan Nian was sealed inside him and brought to this world by him. When leaving the sacred mountain, with the help of the pen knife, he successfully took away Chu Nian's spatial artifact.
During her time travel, she used the power of time and space to successfully break free from the seal of that heart and escape independently, landing in the divine realm where she had previously lived.
Chu Nian's words just now clearly indicated that she had recognized that the spatial artifact as her own, but she simply hadn't taken it back yet.
Lan Nian knew perfectly well that she had taken her things. She knew that the artifact contained not only the divine food Chu Nian had collected before her reincarnation in the mortal realm, but also numerous treasures. Lan Nian didn't want to return them all, so she immediately and obediently started cooking.
These divine foods couldn't be cooked with mortal firearms; they were all cooked using the Samadhi True Fire cultivated by Lan Nian. With practiced skill, she controlled the fire within a small barrier, so no one outside could sense anything amiss. The divine ingredients were already cooked.
Lan Nian thus began her life as a domestic slave, her former prestige completely gone.
Lan Fei now knows that the Lan Nian who cooked is not the Lan Nian of this timeline, and the Lan Nian of this timeline was originally supposed to be his real sister, but it seems that she is not the Lan Nian of the past either.
Although he was brought back, he felt like he was facing a bunch of strangers and couldn't fit in with Chu Nian and the others at all. He stayed there for one night and then packed his things to go back to his hometown.
He originally belonged there; he had only come with his parents to visit his sister. Unexpectedly, he was bewitched and schemed by Wang Xinrui and joined the harem of Lan Nian from the God Realm. Later, he was pushed out by Lan Nian and Wang Xinrui to take the blame, only then realizing how foolish he had been, having become the one who caused the death of his entire family and spent such an absurd period of his life.
He wanted to avenge his sister and parents, but he lacked the power. Now, seeing Lan Nian from the God Realm being treated like a slave by his current "sister," he felt somewhat relieved.
The night Lan Nian brought him back, he had a talk with Chu Nian. He wanted to know whether Lan Nian from the God Realm was too lenient a punishment compared to the crimes she had committed, even though she had become a slave.
Chu Nian also knew that, for the original owner and her siblings, Lan Nian from the God Realm was the mortal enemy who killed their entire family, and the enmity between the two sides could be described as irreconcilable.
But Lan Nian isn't so easy to kill. If Chu Nian had been able to kill her back then, she wouldn't have had to sacrifice her own heart to seal her away in that heart.
Chu Nian sighed helplessly and said, "I know you hate her, but if she could be killed, why would she have been running around like this until now?!"
Now, all I can do is restrain her and make her a subservient slave to prevent her from causing trouble again. Besides, with her proud personality, being a slave now, being ordered around all day, might be more unbearable for her than death!
Lan Fei nodded. What could he do? He didn't have the ability to take revenge himself, and relying on others wasn't a solution either. It was a pity he didn't have the aptitude for cultivation; otherwise, he could cultivate for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to seek justice for his family.
Chu Nian then said earnestly, "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and cause and effect will also have a cycle. The evil she did will be punished in other ways. You don't need to take it too seriously. Just live your life well and make the most of your future!"
That's exactly what Lan Fei's older sister hoped for. She didn't expect Lan Fei to avenge her and their parents; that would be sending Lan Fei to his death!
Lan Fei was no longer the naive boy who had first arrived here. He knew Chu Nian was right, so he nodded and boarded a long-distance bus back to his hometown early the next morning.
He was brought back safely, so half of the original owner's wish was fulfilled. As for revenge, Chu Nian had a real headache. Now, Lan Nian was being bossed around by her all day long, and didn't dare to utter a sound even when being whipped, which could be considered as taking revenge for the original owner in a roundabout way.
However, Chu Nian was somewhat helpless against Wang Xinrui, the instigator, due to the halo surrounding her.
After Bai Ze sent the Mirror Demon back to its original position, he brought back a fragment of Huo's father's soul that the Mirror Demon had left in its original position through magic.
If it weren't for forcibly confiscating one of Huo's father's souls, he wouldn't have had room to bring this mirror demon home! After Huo's father's soul returned to its place, he woke up, became completely clear-headed, and regained his previous temperament.
Therefore, Huo Qinghan specially hosted a family banquet, inviting Bai Ze, Lou Qianzong, and others as a token of gratitude. Presumably feeling that his relationship with Bai Ze and Lou Qianzong was extraordinary, Chu Nian and Lin Jingting were also among the invitees.
To the three men's dismay, Chu Nian insisted on having Lan Nian act as the driver and also wanted Lan Nian to attend the Huo family banquet.
When someone is having a family dinner, they can just invite whoever they want to go. Why do you have to bring someone who looks exactly like you? What's the point?
Would anyone believe her if she said she didn't want to cause trouble?
