(37) You must come back

  Xiao Qian entered Chen Fei's dream for five minutes.

  I said to the puppy: "Puppy, how long will it take for you to sneak into the dream and find clues? Will it be difficult to find?"

  The little dog scratched its chin with its hind legs, "I'm not sure either, I guess it's not that simple, otherwise it wouldn't consume so much yang energy."

  I sighed: "Well, let's wait patiently again. God, you're really dirty, licking that place with your mouth!"

  The puppy licked its face expressionlessly and said, "You still have the nerve to say that. You humans often lick each other between father and mother, don't you think that's dirty?"

  "Damn it!" I really wanted to strangle it at that time, even a cat is so lewd, how can a pure boy like me survive in this place?

  Xiao Qian entered Chen Fei's dream for ten minutes.

  I suddenly thought of a question and said to the little dog, "I seem to remember that Chen Xiao mentioned that Chen Fei can wake up in ten minutes after falling asleep? Now that ten minutes have passed, why hasn't he woken up yet? Will Xia Qian be in danger?"

  The little dog said with a disdainful look: "You're kidding me, you knocked him out this time, it's weird that he can wake up so easily."

  I'm covered in dark circles, and I feel that it's indeed true. I'll just continue to wait patiently. But for some reason, my heart is getting more and more uneasy.

  Thirty minutes have passed.

  I and the little dog were bored to death, so I said: "How about I call Chen Xiao in too, and we three play a game of Fight the Landlord together?"

  The little dog stretched and curled up to sleep, ignoring me. I suddenly felt like an idiot, the dog was in a spiritual state, how could it play cards with us?

  An hour has passed.

  I couldn't help it and woke up the little dog: "Why hasn't Little Qian come back yet, it's been over an hour, what if something happened to her?"

  The puppy said: "It shouldn't be, right? We can't know the situation inside for now, let's wait patiently. Let's take a look again in three hours."

  Three hours later.

  I got angry, "I think she must have had an accident, little dog, you quickly think of a way to save her, or it may be too late!"

  The little dog finally put on a serious expression, "It seems that something is indeed wrong. I could feel her soul fluctuations before, but now the soul fluctuations have suddenly disappeared!"

  "Vanished, disappeared? What, what's going on?"

  "Unable to sense the soul fluctuations of the soul body, there are only two possibilities. One, the soul body is too weak and has scattered. Two, the soul body has traversed into another time-space. Will she start time traveling to find clues?"

  "What's going on here?! Can you be clearer?!" The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. Maybe I was wrong from the start and shouldn't have let Xiaoxian sneak in alone.

  "Wait a bit longer." The little dog also advised me helplessly.

  I can't wait any longer, Xiao Qian has helped me so many times no matter what she says, she is my good friend, I cannot lose her!

  "Puppy, think of something quickly! Aren't you the legendary divine beast Tianling Tiger? Great god, you can't be out of ideas!"

  The little dog was about to say something when the room door creaked open and Chen Xiao walked in from outside, asking me strangely: "What happened?"

  "I... I was just about to mention Xia Qian, but thinking better of it, maybe it's best not to let Chen Xiao know she exists, in case she gets scared. "Don't worry, something came up, it'll be fine soon."

  Perhaps my complexion was too poor, Chen Xiao seemed to have found something, and she cried again, tears streaming down. "It can't be that there's no way to save my brother back, right? Hao Shuang, you promised me you'd save him, you promised me, you must keep your promise!"

  Chen Xiao couldn't hold back his inner pain and burst into loud sobs. Actually, I'm the one who should be crying, right? This matter didn't have much to do with me in the first place anyway.

  Chen Xiao kept crying, I was annoyed and disheartened, and started comforting her, but the comfort didn't work, she cried even more sorrowfully, as if Chen Fei couldn't be saved.

  "Okay, stop crying, I'll definitely bring your brother back, believe me?"

  Chen Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at me coldly, "Why should I believe you!"

  Chen Xiao's words made me instantly silent and thoroughly hurt my heart. So, you never believed in me? Then why ask for my help?

  I wanted to get angry, but I'm still a man and can't be so unscrupulous. "Chen Xiao, you go out first, I'll continue to work."

  "I'm not going out, I want to stay here with my brother! Brother, I don't want you to die, no!" Chen Xiao cried very sadly, perhaps her heart was too fragile, but at that time I really couldn't take it anymore, and finally I shouted: "Chen Xiao, that's enough!"

  My loud shout startled Chen Xiao, she stared at me in a daze. In a moment of impulsiveness, I told her everything about the Soul Detector and the Spirit Realm. Of course, I also mentioned Xia Qian's existence, but she shook her head in disbelief. So I let her wear my Spiritual Sight glasses.

  "You don't believe in the existence of souls, then take a look at this cat. Can you see it without your glasses?" I said with a bad tone.

  Chen Xiao put on my glasses, and at a glance, she saw the little dog crouching on the ground. "Ah", she let out a loud cry, startled, then curled up in the corner, shivering with fear.

  "Now you believe it?" I sighed, Chen Xiao shook her head, hugging her knees and crying. I knew she found it hard to accept and still needed some time.

  I told Chen Xiao to leave and said I would continue to wait for Xiaoyan to come back, but she was unwilling to leave and wanted to stay with me to wait. At that moment, I knew that she already believed in the existence of souls.

  Five hours have passed and it's time for lunch, but I'm not feeling hungry at all. Without seeing Xiao Qian return, I just can't feel at ease.

  The little dog said: "I still can't feel Xia Qian's soul fluctuations, it feels like something really happened. Don't panic for now, go ask Xia Qian's older sister."

  At that time, I was really disheartened, but I decided to cheer up and wait. Even if Xiaoxian didn't come back, I said to Chen Xiao: "I'll go back to school first to find someone."

  I turned around and was about to leave when Chen Xiao grabbed my clothes and said, "Sorry, I really didn't know it would cause you so much trouble."

  Chen Xiao said that tears were about to fall again. What I couldn't bear the most was when girls cried, so I used my hand to help her wipe away the tears on her face. She didn't refuse.

  "I'm leaving." I forced a smile, turned around and rushed out of the room. Chen Xiao said to let the butler take me to school, I didn't refuse, so I got on that high-end car.

  The car arrived at school, and I just remembered that today is the weekend. Who would be stupid enough to come to class? Now it's a tragedy, how should I contact Sister Na?

  Before, it was all Xiao Qian who contacted Na Jie, and I didn't keep in touch with Na Jie. But I still held onto hope and entered the school, asking around for a long time, even going to the dormitory of boarding students, but got no news. Then I asked around the neighborhood near the school, busy for two or three hours, but couldn't find anyone.

  Back in the car, Chen Xiao's butler and driver said to me: "Why don't we head back first? Continuing to search like this isn't a solution."

  Helpless, I had to return to Chen Xiaojia's villa again. Coming back to Chen Fei's room once more, the little dog shook its head at me, and my mind was like a thunderbolt on a clear day.

  Waiting is a long process. Gradually, the night falls, and outside the house is pitch black, wildly sweeping away, and the ghosts begin to boil up.

  9:30 in the evening.

  I've already cried out loud, Chen Fei is still asleep, at some point, I really want to dig Xiangxiang out of Chen Fei's brain.

  My heart is cut like a knife. This feeling, in my memory, is the first time I've felt it, but somehow, I feel like I've experienced this emotion thousands of times before.

  At eleven o'clock at night, I was very tired and sleepy, but I didn't want to fall asleep. I wanted to see with my own eyes the little Xianger returning to me like a green fairy. Otherwise, I would be unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

  Chen Xiao was already tired and fell asleep on the edge of Chen Fei's bed. The little dog said, "Master, you can go to sleep now, I'll keep watch here."

  "I thought I'd wait a bit longer." So I waited until after midnight, but Chen Fei still didn't move. At some point, my consciousness began to blur and I fell into a dreamless sleep.

  I spent the whole weekend at Chen Xiao's place. I told my sister that I was going on a trip with a friend, and asked her to take good care of herself. But after this long wait, all that's left for me and Chen Xiao is despair.

  Last time Na Jie sealed this curse, she said Chen Fei could still live for ten days. Now five days have passed, and if Chen Fei really dies in another five days, does that mean Xiao Qian won't be able to come back either?

  Monday morning, class time arrived again, I went to school to find Na Jie, but still couldn't find her. Asked Li Wei, Li Wei told me that Na Jie didn't come to school today, so I asked Li Wei for Na Jie's contact information and immediately called her, but she couldn't be reached.

  "Damn it!" I almost smashed my phone. Li Wei asked me with concern, "Brother, what's going on with finding Na? Is there anything I can help with?"

  "It's nothing, haha, just a small matter, it's just a bit urgent." I said with a bitter smile, Li Wei was even more distressed, and even heartbroken.

  "Tell me, maybe I can really help you." Li Wei blinked his melancholy little eyes, so charming... Ah, wait, is the rhythm a bit off?
