School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1310: Lovesick and Helpless to Meet

Chen Nan found a quiet spot in the forest to meditate and cultivate for an afternoon.

As dusk approached and the sky grew darker, Chen Nan stopped cultivating. He made a trip to the Demon Mansion, but still couldn’t meet Yao Ye. In the evening, Chen Nan stayed at an inn, even though he didn’t have the universally accepted currency of this world—spirit stones.

However, he possessed endless spirit essence, thousand-year-old ginseng, and had everything he needed, which were far more precious than spirit stones.

The layout of the inn’s room was truly like something out of an ancient costume drama.

Lying in bed, Chen Nan felt lonely for the first time. He had so many loved ones in his heart, but no one around him; he couldn’t even find someone to hug.

As the night grew silent, the more Chen Nan missed his loved ones, the more uneasy he felt.

He couldn’t help but recall the events that had occurred in the Mortal World not long ago. When the Immortal Soul Nine Appearances occurred, calamity descended.

Now he couldn’t help but worry, as during the sixth and seventh appearance of the Immortal Soul, they happened outside the western restaurant, appearing twice in extremely short succession.

If those counted as two appearances, the Immortal Soul had already appeared nine times before he came to the Tao Realm, and the calamity had fallen on his unborn child. But if the incident outside the restaurant only counted as one appearance, then it had only appeared eight times before he left.

If that were the case, does it mean the calamity isn’t over yet?

The more Chen Nan thought about it, the more confused he became. Although he felt the restaurant appearance should count as two, he still couldn’t find peace in his heart.

”Knock, knock, knock...”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

”Who is it?”

Chen Nan frowned, instantly on high alert. He didn’t know anyone here, who would be knocking at his door late at night?

Outside came a woman’s voice: ”Benefactor, it’s me.”

”Why is it you again? I’m asleep, go away.” Although this girl wasn’t bad at heart and was quite likable, Chen Nan didn’t want to get too involved with her to avoid trouble.

The girl said, ”I knew you would return, so I’ve been waiting at the city gate. I followed you into the city. Benefactor, you’re obviously a good person. Why are you so cold to me? Weren’t you asking about a place called Tian Han Mountain yesterday? I found a lot of information about it for you.”

Tian Han Mountain!

Chen Nan’s eyes lit up as he looked towards the door, ”Why are you helping me?”

”You’re my benefactor, you saved my life, of course, I want to repay you. Hurry and open the door.” The girl knocked on the door again.

Chen Nan walked over and opened the door. The girl immediately giggled and slipped inside, scanning the room before finally setting her eyes on the bed. She pouted and said, ”Didn’t you say you were asleep? Why is the bed still so tidy? Benefactor, you lied to me.”

”Whatever information you have, leave it here and quickly leave. It’s late at night, and it won’t do well for your reputation to stay in my room,” Chen Nan said.

The girl scratched her head, looking at Chen Nan with a puzzled expression.

After a moment, she puffed her cheeks and muttered, ”Why do you always have such a stern face? You weren’t like this when I first met you yesterday.”

Chen Nan said nothing, feeling frustrated in his heart!

He wasn’t naturally cold like this but was pretending to be, which was really tiring.

”Why are you acting like a monk? I’m not worried about ruining my reputation, so what are you afraid of?” The girl opened her storage ring and tossed out a pile of books, at least several dozen, and said, ”You’re telling me to leave, but I’m not going anywhere. I’ll help you find information about Tian Han Mountain; once we’ve found it, I’ll go.”

”Suit yourself.”

Chen Nan took a seat on a stool, casually grabbing a book.

However, as soon as he opened it, he was dumbfounded. The characters currently used in the Tao Realm were akin to ancient scripts from thousands of years ago in the Mortal World, and Chen Nan could only recognize a small part of them.

Looking at the book in front of him, most of the text was unrecognizable to him.

”Benefactor, are you alright?” The girl waved a hand in front of Chen Nan’s eyes.

Chen Nan came to his senses and, somewhat embarrassed, handed the book to the girl, asking, ”Do you recognize all the characters on this?”

Upon hearing this, the girl laughed heartily and said, ”So you can’t read? And yet you told me to leave. Without me, who would help you read?”

”I’ve read very little, so I can’t recognize everything there.” Chen Nan said with an awkward laugh.

The girl held the book, giggling as she said, ”It’s alright. I’ll help you find it since you’re my benefactor.”

”In that case, thank you, young lady.”

The girl chuckled and began flipping through the book page by page.

Though she was a practitioner, with extremely fast reading speed, it still took all night to go through dozens of books, but unfortunately, she didn’t find a single piece of information about Tian Han Mountain.

Perhaps she was too engrossed, for when she finally put down the last book in the morning, she found Chen Nan had disappeared.

”Benefactor, where did you go?”

The girl searched the room for him, planning to look outside, when Chen Nan came in holding a tray with a bowl of porridge on it.

Chen Nan placed the porridge on the table, ”I made this for you; you worked hard all night, eat it while it’s hot.”

”But haven’t we reached a level of cultivation where we don’t need to eat?” The girl looked at Chen Nan in confusion.

Chen Nan set the chopsticks on the table and calmly said, ”This porridge is made from ten-thousand-year-old ginseng and nine-leaf Ganoderma. You suffered internal injuries yesterday and didn’t sleep all night; this porridge is good for your wounds.”

”I see, thank you, benefactor.”

The girl picked up the chopsticks and started eating the porridge, smiling at Chen Nan the entire time.

Seeing her lovely smile, full of energy like the morning sun, Chen Nan couldn’t help but think of Su Qingqing, and how similar this girl’s smile was to hers.

”Are you alright? Why do you keep staring at me?”

The girl held her bowl, her big eyes wide and unblinking, looking at Chen Nan with a face full of curiosity.

Chen Nan snapped out of it, quickly turning his back to her, ”Nothing, just eat. Once you’re done, leave here; I have something to do, so I’ll be going out first.”

With that, Chen Nan strode out of the room.

The girl looked at the door in frustration, muttering, ”I just wanted to repay you. You don’t even ask for my name and only think about sending me away. But this porridge is truly delicious.”

...

After leaving the inn, Chen Nan headed straight for the Demon Mansion.

After knocking on the door, it was still the woman in the yellow robe, Yue Ye, who opened it.

”You pervert, it’s you again!”

Yue Ye glared at Chen Nan, a look of contempt on her face; she wouldn’t forget the grudge from yesterday’s incident.

Chen Nan pushed her aside and stepped into the Demon Mansion.

Yue Ye hurriedly followed him inside, ”My sister isn’t back, you pervert, get out.”

”Whether she’s back or not, I’ll see for myself.”

Chen Nan only trusted his own eyes. Regardless of truth or lies, after offending Juhua Yue yesterday, she would surely not speak the truth.
