The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 48 - : 48. Give me back the original Nie Xiaoqian.
Chapter 48: 48. Give me back the original Nie Xiaoqian.
Ning Caichen finally finished speaking, took a long breath, and then looked at Fang Zhou with expectant eyes.
Fang Zhou pondered for a moment and asked, “You saved me once, and I am very grateful. Is there anything you need me to do?”
He had thought he encountered someone providing an external help, but it turned out that Ning Caichen needed help even more than himself, so he couldn’t expect her to be of much assistance. From her appearance, saving him might have had ulterior motives.
“Really?”
Sure enough, as soon as Fang Zhou said this, Ning Caichen immediately became excited, clasping her hands on her chest and deeply bowing: “Ning Caichen has no other desires, just hoping venerable cultivator can help me with one thing.”
Fang Zhou listened quietly, not in a hurry to agree.
...
It must be asking for help to get out of here, but unfortunately, this matter is too difficult. Even I can barely protect myself, bringing another person is as hard as ascending to the heavens.
The next second, Ning Caichen said, “I beg the venerable cultivator to help, take Nie Xiaoqian’s ashes urn away, so that Xiaoqian can leave this place, be reincarnated, and start a new life.”
Fang Zhou was immediately startled, damn, it turned out to be this request. The difficulty of this is even higher. Isn’t the ashes urn under the Tree Demon’s roots? Am I just delivering myself up?
Fang Zhou pondered and said, “Caichen, what about changing the request? Like, let me help you get out of here, I will definitely do my best.”
Ning Caichen had a resolute face: “Venerable cultivator, please do not worry about my safety. After being trapped here, life and death have been behind me. My only wish is to rescue Xiaoqian from suffering.”
Fang Zhou quickly persuaded, “If the green hills are preserved, one need not fear running out of firewood. Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost, who can live a long time, there’s no rush. Let’s leave first, and when there’s a way, we come back to rescue, no, to save the ghost, alright?”
Ning Caichen had a determined look as if ready to face death: “Venerable cultivator, your concern deeply moves me, but no need to persuade further. If you take me, a living person, it would definitely be inconvenient. Taking Xiaoqian’s ashes urn alone would be much easier. Xiaoqian has been trapped here for many years, I can’t bear to see her suffer any longer. Venerable cultivator, I beg you.”
Ning Caichen bowed deeply to Fang Zhou again.
Fang Zhou had a constipated expression. It’s not that I’m worried about your safety, it’s that I can’t meet your request.
He sighed and spoke the truth, “There’s no need to say more. If Nie Xiaoqian’s ashes urn indeed is under the Tree Demon’s roots, with my abilities, I simply cannot take it out. There’s a slight possibility of just getting you out.”
Ning Caichen showed a dejected look; she had actually guessed it already. If Fang Zhou was powerful enough, how could he be chased by demons everywhere, needing her to intervene?
But she still held a sliver of hope, hoping for a miracle.
Yet Fang Zhou straightforwardly admitted his powerlessness.
Seeing her dejected and saddened expression, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but ask, “In this past year, haven’t you sought help from others? There must have been many cultivators coming here?”
Ning Caichen showed a bitter smile and nodded.
Indeed, many cultivators came here, but most had insufficient strength and died by seven or eight once the white mist appeared, while those cultivators who survived in the mist were mostly powerful, targeted by the demons, making it hard for Ning Caichen to approach them.
She, although able to freely commute through tunnels, was also afraid of being discovered by the demons.
Thus, over the past year, Fang Zhou was the only cultivator she ‘caught’ because his power was just moderately suitable.
After hearing Ning Caichen’s explanation, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but inwardly complain, damn, so you saved me not because I am handsome and strong, but purely by chance.
Stewing over it for a while, Fang Zhou then said, “How about, I still try to find a way to take you with me?”
Ning Caichen, however, shook her head, “No, if Xiaoqian also can’t leave, I’d rather spend my life here.”
Watching Ning Caichen’s resolved expression, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but feel moved, “You and Nie Xiaoqian are truly committed to each other.”
Ning Caichen showed an embarrassed expression but didn’t deny it.

Fang Zhou looked at her embarrassed expression, suddenly realizing, could Nie Xiaoqian be a woman?
Although according to the nature of this world, Nie Xiaoqian should be a male ghost, but it’s unlikely for a man to have such a feminized name as Nie Xiaoqian, right?
He couldn’t help asking Ning Caichen, “You and Nie Xiaoqian are in love, but the conventions of the world won’t allow it.”
Ning Caichen replied solemnly, “Even if the conventions don’t allow it, I am willing to bear the consequences.”
Exactly, this is the love that defies taboo.
Wait, by the standards of this world, it’s a love akin to that between lovers.
As Fang Zhou was lamenting, suddenly the entire basement shook as if a land dragon was turning over, shaking the debris and dust off.
He exclaimed in surprise, “What’s happening?!”
Ning Caichen also looked panicked, “I have no idea, this has never happened before.”
Just when both were unsure, a roar, sounding both male and female, came from above, causing their eardrums to throb painfully.
“Damn girl, if you dare, stop running around!!”
Ning Caichen immediately trembled in fear, “That’s the voice of the Tree Demon!”
Fang Zhou was startled, this Tree Demon’s voice could penetrate down here and even cause his ears to hurt, how terrifying must its power be?
The system must be malfunctioning, asking me to deal with such a monster?
At that moment, another clear laughter came from above.
“Ha ha ha, catch me if you can.”
Hearing this familiar voice, Fang Zhou was slightly stunned, then showed a look of joy, that’s Ling Xiaoyue’s voice, this dead woman finally makes a sound after disappearing for so long.
But it seems she’s confronting the Tree Demon head-on.
Fang Zhou immediately realized this was an opportunity; if Ling Xiaoyue was confronting the Tree Demon, he might be able to move silently and directly infiltrate the base.
He quickly asked Ning Caichen, “Is Nie Xiaoqian very familiar with Lanruo Temple?”
Ning Caichen nodded, “Xiaoqian has been trapped in Lanruo Temple for many years and knows it very well.”
Fang Zhou urgently asked, “Can you get Nie Xiaoqian to come over?”
Ning Caichen thought for a moment and then shook his head, “I can’t do it, but with the ground shaking earlier, if Xiaoqian is free, she will definitely come back to check on my safety.”
Fang Zhou clenched his fist, “That’s good.”
To make a move, I must first understand the situation in Lanruo Temple, like the environment and the number of demons; only by knowing the enemy and ourselves can we make a corresponding plan.
Ning Caichen was right, Nie Xiaoqian didn’t make them wait too long and soon appeared at the basement entrance.
Fang Zhou was full of anticipation, wondering what this world’s Nie Xiaoqian would look like?
It would be best if she looked like Wang Zuxian, but if not, any charming female ghost would be enchanting.
Then he saw a burly man with a big beard rushing in, urgently calling out, “Caichen! Caichen!”
“Xiaoqian!”
Ning Caichen also called out and rushed up, the two embraced tightly.
Fang Zhou was dumbfounded.
This bearded man is Nie Xiaoqian?
Damn, you must be Yan Chixia!! Give me back my Wang Zuxian!!
