Li Mu was grilling meat when he heard Chen Nan’s words and exploded in anger, “How can you curse at someone? I’m a genuine man, do you understand what a genuine man is?”
Chen Nan looked embarrassed, “I just gained X-ray vision.”
Li Mu froze for a moment.
Then he instinctively clenched his legs together.
A hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes, “It’s because I’m fat, you know?”
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said with a sheepish smile, “Does it still work now?”
Li Mu roared, “Do you want to try?”
“Forget it!” Chen Nan rolled his eyes at him, then casually picked up a skewer of grilled meat and ate it with relish.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
Suddenly.
A sound of knocking at the door rang out.
Then a familiar voice said, “Anyone home?”
Chen Nan’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected it to be Li Xiang’s voice.
It was clear.
Li Xiang had sensed the Eternal Flame and found his way here.
He got up and went to the door, pushing it open to see Li Xiang and Wang Mengqi.
“Dad… Uncle Chen?” Li Xiang looked at Chen Nan in disbelief, not expecting to see him here.
Wang Mengqi’s eyes were also full of surprise, “What are you doing here?”
“This is my home!” Chen Nan said, inviting the mother and son inside.
Wang Mengqi knew Chen Nan was no ordinary person.
But she hadn’t expected him to own a courtyard house.
After entering the courtyard, Wang Mengqi looked at Chen Nan nervously, “Li Xiang just said something here was calling him…”
Chen Nan didn’t offer any explanation. He took Wang Mengqi to the room where the Eternal Flame was kept, “It’s this flame that’s calling Li Xiang. Not just him, many others will be summoned here successively.”
Wang Mengqi’s eyes flickered with confusion.
She hadn’t believed Chen Nan’s words initially.
But…
She had never heard of a white flame before.
“Mom, I want to live here from now on!” Li Xiang held his mother’s hand, his eyes full of pleading.
He didn’t know what this flame was yet.
But.
He felt a sense of inexplicable security here.
He felt very grounded.
Wang Mengqi said, “We’re not without a home, why should we live in someone else’s house?”
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, “Let me take you somewhere!” With that, his soul power surged out, enveloping Wang Mengqi and her son, and they vanished from the room in an instant.
He first took the mother and son to the Immortal Realm.
They witnessed its grandeur.
And they saw the powerful demonic beasts.
Then they went to the Underworld.
They saw the River of Oblivion.
Descended into the eighteen levels of hell.
Witnessed the cycle of reincarnation.
Afterwards.
He brought the mother and son back to the mortal world.
“So, what you said before was all true?” Wang Mengqi’s face was ashen, “My son is really the reincarnation of Nezha?”
She hadn’t believed Chen Nan’s words at first.
But now she was completely convinced.
Because Chen Nan had shown her too many incredible things.
This made her feel fear and unease.
Because she was afraid her son would become someone else.
Chen Nan saw the fear and unease in Wang Mengqi’s heart and poured her a glass of iced beer, “You don’t need to worry about this. Even if Li Xiang was Nezha in his past life, that was just an experience from his previous life.”
“No matter what, his name is still Li Xiang.”
Wang Mengqi asked nervously, “So, my son won’t turn into Nezha, right?”
Chen Nan nodded.
Hearing this.
Wang Mengqi’s worried heart finally settled.
Chen Nan continued, “However, the Heavenly Court has fallen, and Li Xiang needs to awaken his past life memories to rebuild the Heavenly Court. Living here would not be a bad thing for him.”
He needed to find something to unlock Nezha’s past life memories.
“Alright then!” Wang Mengqi finally chose to stay.
Li Xiang was overjoyed.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
This matter.
Another knock sounded at the door.
Jin Gang said, “I’ll get it.”
A moment later.
Jin Gang brought He Shuqin into the courtyard.
Chen Nan wasn’t surprised by He Shuqin’s appearance, as she was the leader of the Seven Fairies.
She would definitely sense the call of the Eternal Flame.
“Dr. Chen, is this your home?” He Shuqin was also surprised when she saw Chen Nan.
“Yes!” Chen Nan smiled slightly, then revealed her past life identity to her. He Shuqin was shocked.
She hadn’t expected her past life to be the leader of the Seven Fairies.
This also made her realize.
Why she had loved birds since childhood.
And why birds were willing to be close to her.
At this moment.
Her worldview was undergoing a tremendous change.
“Can I live here?” He Shuqin, with a face full of embarrassment, voiced her inner thoughts. She wanted to stay not because of Chen Nan, but because of the Eternal Flame.
Chen Nan smiled, “Of course you can!”
A hint of gratitude flashed in He Shuqin’s eyes.
“Come, come, let’s not talk about anything else, let’s eat first.” Chen Nan distributed the grilled skewers that Li Mu had roasted to everyone. Fortunately, there weren’t too many people at home, otherwise, this meat wouldn’t have been enough.
The next day.
Chen Nan slept until ten in the morning before getting up.
There was nothing he could do, cultivating his Fiery Eyes of Truth consumed too much soul power.
Fortunately.
He had reached the second level of the Fiery Eyes of Truth: seeing bones.
He went to the grape vine in the courtyard.
Chen Nan saw Li Mu lying on a lounge chair, watching videos of young women dancing, “Stop watching, it’s useless.”
Li Mu directly rolled his eyes at him, then said with a determined look, “I’m going to lose weight and get back to how I used to be!”
Chen Nan shrugged, “Do you have anything to do today? If not, come with me to the mall to buy some clothes!”
“Two grown men go shopping?” Li Mu looked disgusted, “I’m not going.”
“Brother Chen is also going to the mall?”
At this time.
He Shuqin, wearing a white qipao embroidered with flying birds, and Wang Mengqi walked over, chatting and laughing. Their rooms were only separated by a wall.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, they had already become close friends who talked about everything.
Compared to He Shuqin’s elegant qipao.
Wang Mengqi’s attire was much more alluring.
A black one-piece bodycon dress, outlining her voluptuous figure.
Wearing high heels made her legs look even longer.
A single glance was enough to make one unable to tear their eyes away.
She exuded the charm of a mature woman.
Chen Nan, as if guided by an unseen force, activated his X-ray vision, and his heart pounded.
Good heavens.
Wang Mengqi was actually a Baihu.
He hadn’t expected Qinglong’s taste to be so discerning, liking such an extraordinary woman.
He withdrew his impolite gaze and casually said, “I was thinking of buying some clothes to change into.”
“Mengqi and I, along with Li Xiang, are also going to the mall, why don’t we go together?” He Shuqin invited with a smile.
Chen Nan: “That sounds good!”
He didn’t like going shopping alone.
It was an extremely lonely activity.
It was precisely for this reason that he had invited Li Mu.
However…
Having Li Mu follow along, wasn’t it more enjoyable to shop with two beautiful women?
“We’re going out. You guys stay home and watch the place. If anyone comes, remember to call me!” Chen Nan instructed Li Mu and Jin Gang, then left the courtyard with Li Xiang and his mother, and He Shuqin, heading for the mall.
As soon as they got in the car, Li Xiang’s voice rang out, “Uncle Chen, Mom doesn’t reject you anymore. You should strike while the iron is hot and win her over!”
*Pfft!*
Chen Nan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Is it appropriate to say such things in front of your mother?
