My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1461

"Yes!" Robin snapped back to reality and saluted sharply before turning and leaving. Lumi dialed Nash's phone again, but it was still off. "Just where has the commander run off to? He’s been unreachable till now.”

Euria glanced at Lumi and said, "We can decide these matters ourselves. Why must you call the commander? Can’t bear not hearing his voice for a day?"

"Sister, don’t talk nonsense, I’m just reporting my work progress to my superior as usual!" Lumi argued, but her ears and neck were slightly flushed. She was clearly embarrassed by her sister's nail-on-the-head tease.

In the bamboo forest of Malignant Mountain, Tatiana had built a 20-square-meter stone house over the past two days. Stones were scarce in the bamboo forest. She had to search within a five-kilometer radius to find enough to build the house.

There was day and night in the illusory array they were trapped in, along with a sun, a moon, and stars. Three days and nights had passed since they entered the illusion. Nash tried using Tatiana’s phone to contact the outside world, but there was no signal.

The window in the middle of the house was opened. Nash sat on the sill, gazing unblinkingly at the arrays on the trees. After a moment, he rubbed his eyes and turned to page 36.

The fact that he was able to learn 36 pages of arrays in three days indicated his monstrous talent. His talent was already outrageously inhuman, yet he was still not satisfied.

The tome was over 1,300 pages. At his current pace, it would take him at least three months to finish. By then, over ten days would have passed in the outside world. Ten days was enough time for a lot to happen.

"Nash, it's time to eat." Tatiana's cheerful voice came from outside.
