He had no visitors in the past few days. Li Nianfans life resumed its peace like before.

After filling up his stomach, he went out to the backyard with a fishing rod. The tortoise was laying on a giant stone by the pond, squinting at the sunlight. Watching the seemingly relaxed tortoise, it was apparent that there was no monster in the pond. So where did all the fish go?

Li Nianfan did not give in yet. He was about to give it another try while observing the tortoise. The tortoise was a young one, only half as old as Li Nianfan himself. It opened its eyes slightly, looking up at him before lazily shutting them again.

Li Nianfan smiled and cast his line into the pond.

Smack!

The rod bent into a perfect curve in the air before it landed in the center of the pond precisely. The surface of the pond rippled with waves while the rod sank deeper. The water in the pond was clear like glass. However, if one was inside the pond, one would realize right away that there was not a single fish in there. Even the krill he had just put in had all disappeared. Beneath the water, a huge phantom gradually opened its eyes and glanced at the fish hook floating in front of it. It wiggled its tail before swimming toward the deeper end of the pond, leaving a trail of gold murk along its way.

Half an hour later, Li Nianfan took the fishing rod out of the water. Looking at the empty hook, he seemed unperturbed. He expected this to happen anyway.

Strange, this is so strange, Li Nianfan shook his head and mumbled to himself as he looked at the tortoise. Old tortoise, if only you could speak and tell me whats going on inside the pond.

Unfortunately, the tortoise was asleep. It did not even flinch.

Hopelessly, Li Nianfan dusted off the dirt from his pants and left the pond. He had already made up his mind by then. He would never fish from this pond again. If he ever wanted to eat fish, he might as well buy it from the Fallen Immortal Town.

He placed the fishing rod back where it belonged and closed the door. Blackie, lets go to town.

The Fallen Immortal Town was busy as usual. Auntie Zhang was walking around holding Nanan in her hand. She called out when she saw Li Nianfan, Nanan, Mr. Li is here. Hurry up and thank him for saving you.

A girl with braided pigtails turned around and looked at Li Nianfan blankly. She did not speak as if she had lost her soul.

Li Nianfan was shocked. Auntie Zhang, Nanan

Sigh, after being caught by the monster the other day, shes been behaving like this ever since she woke up. She must have been too terrified that she lost her soul, Auntie Zhang sighed.

Li Nianfan frowned. He felt a knot in his chest when he recalled the cheerful look that was once on Nanans face.

Auntie Zhang, is there a way to help her? Li Nianfan asked.

Ive asked a few traveling cultivators, but all they said was to accompany and talk to her more. Theres still hope in getting her soul back. Auntie Zhang hesitated for a while before she pleaded, Mr. Li, youre an intellectual. Could you spend some time accompanying Nanan? It might help!

I will, Li Nianfan nodded solemnly. He was determined to help her out.

Auntie Zhang had a basket of eggs in her arm. Mr. Li, you
