Others: "..."
The woman's eyes brightened even more: "Moonlight before my bed?"
Tianning: "It looks like frost on the ground."
Woman: "No gifts this holiday season!"
Tianning: "I only accept Brain Gold as a gift."
Others: "..."
Chen Fang managed to ask, "What are you talking about?"
The woman, however, didn't care about such things. She said, "Chen Fang, you're meddling too much."
"She's the one I'm looking for. I vouch for her. Do you have any other objections?"
After saying that, she hurriedly planned to walk around the pond and come this way.
The woman's attitude puzzled Chen Fang. He knew that this lady had never cared about anything outside the home, and she had always been indifferent to Lord Tianmo and the young master. She would never have any old friends with them. How could she have gotten involved with a little girl who suddenly appeared?
But seeing the woman excitedly taking Tianning's hand and leading her to her yard, Chen Fang found it hard to deny that the two didn't know each other.
After all, the lady had absolutely no reason to lie and save a stranger.
"You all continue to guard this place. I'm going to report to Lord Heavenly Demon," Chen Fang said before leaving.
Tianning followed the woman into the house.
She had encountered quite a few time travelers, but this was the first time she had met one with a friendly attitude.
Compared to the previous transmigrators, the two are obviously worlds apart.
The woman enthusiastically poured spiritual tea, and also brought out spiritual fruits and some snacks. After bustling around for a while, she sat down and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, my name is Lan Yan."
"Tianning".
Lan Yan asked, "How long... have you been here?"
Tian Ning stated frankly, "It's been quite a while. I came here mainly to rescue people, but I accidentally stumbled into this mansion."
“I’ve been looking for a long time too! Are you looking for someone like us? Or a friend you met here? Maybe I can help…” Lan Yan said enthusiastically, “This is the first time I’ve met someone like me. Ever since Tongzi disappeared, I thought I was going to be stuck here forever…”
Tianning raised an eyebrow: "You mean the system?"
"No! You can't say that!" Lan Yan's expression suddenly turned panicked. She almost instinctively tried to cover Tian Ning's mouth, but Tian Ning dodged her.
After a moment of tense silence, Lan Yan immediately realized what was happening and distanced himself from Tian Ning.
But a long time passed, and nothing happened.
Tianning saw confusion on her face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing..." Lan Yan waited a while longer, still not feeling at ease, but nothing happened.
"How could that be?" she asked in surprise.
"You know the laws of Heaven, right? Heaven governs this world, and people like us... shouldn't exist. It was the system that helped... us... to come back to life..."
They don't belong here; the system gave them a second life.
But souls from other worlds must abide by the rules.
"There are some taboo words that we must never utter, or we'll attract divine retribution!"
Lan Yan said, "I don't know why you're alright, but my system... was injured and forced into hibernation because I said the wrong thing, and it tried to protect me from being struck by lightning..."
Tianning understood.
It turns out that the system wasn't around and couldn't give her new tasks, which is why her boyfriend reacted that way when he saw her.
"Although nothing happened this time, you must be more careful in the future, and never say any taboo words!" Lan Yan instructed, then continued nagging, "Speaking of which, where's your system? Didn't it even tell you the most basic things? Or is your situation different from mine? You don't even have a system? That's so pitiful. I was terrified when I first came here. In this unfamiliar place, you could die if you're not careful, especially with those yandere men. I didn't think much of it when I read about them, but when I actually encountered one, I was scared to death..."
Unlike his first impression, Lan Yan was surprisingly talkative. He couldn't hide his excitement upon seeing Tian Ning, and even his pale complexion improved considerably.
This sense of camaraderie among fellow villagers was something Tianning hadn't expected.
Tianning listened quietly until Lan Yan finished speaking before saying, "Lan Yan, have you ever thought that if you don't want to stay here, Tian Lei might be able to send you home?"
