Chapter 57: Nana’s requests

“Miss Nana, please do not take this the wrong way. You’ve left the Heaven Dou Planet without permission this time but you acted heroically in Zi Luo City and even recovered huge amount of losses and reputation for the Federation. Hence, I hope you could follow us back to Heaven Dou to assist in the investigations.” A middle-aged man spoke with utmost respect.

“But I don’t want to go back, I still have many things to do here,” Nana replied plainly.

“For that child?” Yun Yan blurted out.

Nana’s gaze turned stern all of a sudden. “Yun Yan.”

“What is it?” Yun Yan was stunned. She had never seen Nana like that.

“Remember this, if anyone dares to hurt that child then all of you will have to face me and I would not hesitate to do anything,” Nana said rigidly, she sounded very calm but everyone at the scene felt their souls trembling.

The middle-aged man was crying bitterly inside. ‘Who exactly is this person? Those idiots from the Central Investigations Bureau are trying to kill me. I’m just a reserve war god from the War God Temple, isn’t this bullying?’

Yun Yan smiled bitterly. “Nana, on the account that I’ve been with you for a few years and the research centre thawing you to allow you to regain new life, could you please go back with us. Otherwise, I will be severely punished. I’m begging you, alright?”

Nana furrowed her brows.

Yun Yan then tried to probe. “Nana, what’s your relationship with that child?”

“He is the student I’ve taken in,” Nana said.

“Student?” Yun Yan was stunned.

“He is very talented and I taught him. When he went to the Horizon Building to play, but a terrorist attack happened and I saved him.”

The words were simple but the entire story was told.

Yun Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “Then could you return to Heaven Dou City with me and make things clear? Also, you worked so hard to become a Federal citizen and you’re still under supervision now. If you simply violate the Federal law now, it’ll be an issue for your official citizenship and it might even implicate your student! Even if you’re very strong and able to protect him, do you want him to live with you as Federal criminals? You still have about five years’ time and you won’t have to be supervised anymore. It’s really not worth it to mess it up right now!”

Nana turned silent.

The reserve war god standing at the side gave a thumbs up. This Yun Yan was truly sent over here to do the manipulating and she spoke pretty well. Also, from the way Nana acted, she was strong but she didn’t have any ill intentions toward the Federation. If she did it just to protect the child and repress evil and encourage good, it’s obviously a meritorious but fruitless service. If she was providing guidance, it might still be seen as a good thing to the Federation. Furthermore, she was cryogenically awakened and had research value.

After what happened this time, nobody knew how the Federation will be dealing with this special situation.

She was recently promoted to a Titled Douluo but she was helpless before her. It goes without saying that she should be at least a Super Douluo instead. Such existence is hard to come by!

“Alright, I’ll leave with you guys.” Nana finally relented. She wasn’t worried about having an official status or anything like that, she really didn’t care much for those but she didn’t want to disrupt Lan Xuanyu’s peaceful life.

“Great, thank you, Nana.” Yun Yan was so touched that she wanted to hug her but Nana raised her hand and stopped her.

“But I have two requests,” Nana said indifferently.

“Speak.” Yun Yan said without hesitation. Her mission this time was to bring Nana back by hook or by crook.

“Firstly, I want to say goodbye to my student,” Nana said.

Yun Yan nodded quickly. “You should, you should.”

“Secondly, this child is physically weak and needs to be nourished. You guys must deliver some precious ingredients every day. They must be at least the same grade as a dragon tendon,” Nana followed.

Yun Yan turned to look at the reserve war god next to her, she couldn’t be the decision-maker for such things and after the reserve war god heard what Nana said, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

For someone as strong as Nana and was still unaffiliated to any Federation, the worse was to not have any worries. A formidable person without any worries would act without scruple but Nana clearly cared a lot about her student so it was obvious that she had concerns and emotions. This was much better.

“No problem, leave this to the War God Temple. We have our own network so Miss Nana, you don’t have to worry.” With the encounter just now, he unknowingly began to address her respectfully.

“Alright, there’s nothing else. I will bid farewell to him tonight. You guys may go first and come pick me up at this time tomorrow.” After speaking, Nana closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Yun Yan couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed as she turned her head and looked at the reserve war god. The reserve war god gave her a nod before he walked away.

Yun Yan quickly caught up to him and whispered, “Do you think Nana would go back on her words?”

The reserve war god shook his head. “I don’t think so. At her level, she should know that action and knowledge should go hand in hand. Otherwise, it would mess with her state of mind and influence her cultivation. Let’s head back and report first. Researcher Yun, contact the spacecraft in the research centre quickly, we will return to Heaven Dou Planet tomorrow.”

“Oh, sure.” Yun Yan nodded and felt a weight off her mind.

“Researcher Yun, do you know what exactly is Miss Nana’s rank?” The reserve war god asked all of a sudden.

“Ah? I don’t! When we did the test previously, we didn’t realize that there was energy in her body and only thought that she was a very healthy and ordinary girl,” Yun Yan said in a vexed manner.

The reserve war god’s expression turned weird. ‘An ordinary girl? One look from an ordinary girl could cause me to almost break down? An ordinary girl could destroy a battleship traveling at supersonic speed with just a simple gesture? If she is an ordinary girl, does the word ‘ordinary’ even exists?’

Back in the room, Nana sat on the sofa in silence and a sense of loss stirred in her heart.

Ever since she woke up, she had always been living in a state of ignorance. A few years have passed but it seemed like a snap of a finger to her. It didn’t leave much of an impression on her too.

Until she met Lan Xuanyu, she wasn’t sure why but the very first time she saw him, he was like a magnetite attracting her. That sort of feeling was very magical, even somewhat indescribable. Maybe, this was fate.

She still had to leave in the end and Nana knew that if she stayed on, it would definitely bring Lan Xuanyu more trouble than help. He still had his parents around and she was still an outsider.

However, being logical was one thing and doing it was another. She suddenly had an emotion: reluctance!

What should she say to him when she sees him? With his personality, he would look at her longingly for sure and even hug her leg with reddened eyes, crying and not wanting to let her go.

When that happens, could she really harden her heart and just leave?

All of a sudden, there was a sting in her heart. Nana was surprised to find that if that really happens, she might just disregard everything and stay on, no matter what she had to face.

However, she obviously wasn’t afraid to face anything. She was lucky to have escaped death and even forgot all about her previous life so she didn’t have any attachments but Little Xuanyu was still a child, how could she bear bringing him so much trouble? Furthermore, his parents certainly would not want this.

Nana sighed softly and she was slightly frustrated.
