When they arrived at the entrance of the Fallen Immortal Town, the old woman was pacing anxiously.
Though she seemed old, she was only a Golden Core cultivator. She was lucky that the Demon Man did not kill her.
When she saw the Holy Emperor coming back with Nanan, she hurriedly went forward and said humbly, “Greetings to the Holy Emperor.”
“Greetings to you.”
The Holy Emperor helped her up. He did not want to be the Holy Emperor in front of her. He only wanted to get acquainted with her since she had recruited such a great disciple!
He looked at this old woman with a complex look filled with admiration. This old woman was so lucky to have pleased the expert! She took on the greatest opportunity ever! Perhaps she did not even know what kind of man Li Nianfan was!
The words on this piece of paper were priceless. It was probably the most precious item in the entire Ganlong Immortal Dynasty!
The paper contained Insights that could manifest an Immortal! It also contained Wisdom and longevity! If this news were to get out, everyone would have gone crazy!
As for Nanan, she was also a treasure! Although she had Inferior Spiritual Root, she was caressed by an Immortal!
The Demon Man was an Out of Aperture cultivator whose Yuan Ying core had gone into Nanan’s body. This meant that her potential would be limitless! And since the expert liked Nanan so much, he would be able to help her and give her an abundance of opportunities!
Envious! So envious!
The more he thought about it, the redder his eyes became. His heart started aching again as he silently wished he could recruit her instead! But now it was too late to do so. Also, he could not risk disobeying the expert. He could only try to be kind to this old lady.
“May I know which sect you’re from?” the Holy Emperor asked with a rather awkward face. He was embarrassed for not knowing which Sect she was from.
But since it mattered to Nanan, he had to find out.
The old woman did not take it personally. She replied, “I’m from the Golden Lotus Sect.”
The Holy Emperor frowned. This sect was too small. He had never even heard of it.
Zhong Xiu, who was by his side, asked, “The Golden Lotus Sect that’s located in the northern part of the Ganglong Immortal Dynasty?”
“Exactly!” the old woman nodded.
Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment. “I remember that the sect master of the Golden Lotus Sect is called Wu Hanyan.”
“Yes, she...” The old woman sighed. She seemed rather upset. “Three months ago, she was cultivating outdoors when she was stung by a poisonous bee. She doesn’t have much time left to live.”
“That’s great news!” the Holy Emperor cried out with delight.
He quickly concealed his statement with two dry coughs. “What I was saying...that...that’s too bad!
“However, don’t worry. It’s just a poisonous bee. The Ganlong Immortal Dynasty happens to have the antidote for such incidents. I’ll get you one right away!”
He was truly excited! He was still figuring out how to please her. This was his chance!
The old woman smiled with delight. She said in disbelief, “Are you really willing to help me?”
Of course, she knew the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty had the antidote. But over the past three months, she had begged for help from the other bigger sects only to be rejected by all of them. The Golden Lotus Sect was a small sect so nobody was willing to help them.
“Follow me.” The Holy Emperor went straight to his treasure vault and took out a pile of elixirs. The pile in front of the old woman seemed almost like a hill.
“This...this...this...”
The old woman was caught off guard. Her breathing grew rapid. She had lived for three hundred years but she never would have dreamed of seeing so many elixirs! Being able to get her hands on any of them would make her very happy!
The Holy Emperor separated them into groups. “Your sect is built on poorer land so there’s probably a lack of elixirs there. These are for Nanan during Qi Refining, and these are for her Foundation Building. These are for her Core Condensation. If you ever run out, please, don’t hesitate to get more from me. Don’t be stingy with Nanan.”
“This—I—my disciple...” The old woman looked at Nanan and all she could feel was her scalp itching. Who was she to receive such special treatment from the Holy Emperor?!
The Holy Emperor looked at the old woman with a serious look. “You have no idea what kind of disciple you’ve just recruited. But... I’ll tell you this. Nanan will become the biggest opportunity the Golden Lotus Sect has ever gained. So, if you take good care of her, the Golden Lotus Sect might even surpass my Ganlong Immortal Dynasty. If you don’t, I don’t even have to tell you what will happen.”
Surpass the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty?
The Golden Lotus Sect was only established less than a thousand years ago. They did not even dare to think about it!
The old woman’s heart sank as her face flushed red and her scalp itched in excitement. She asked with a trembling voice, “May I ask... Is it because of that...that man?”
The Holy Emperor smiled. “Haha! All you have to know is that his existence is way beyond your imagination!”
Tzz...
The old woman felt her heartthrob. She reached out with trembling hands to accept Nanan from Luo Shiyu. She did not dare to hold her too tight, afraid of possibly hurting her.
Trembling, she said, “I’ll take good care of Nanan.”
She was about to bring this important guess home! She swore she would not let any harm near this little girl even if she had to risk her life!
“Good.” The Holy Emperor nodded. This old woman was not a fool. She should know what to do.
...
Li Nianfan and Daji arrived at the foot of the mountain. They were walking toward the four-part architecture. It was late by then, and the sky had darkened. The entire forest was engulfed by complete darkness as they made their way home without being able to see the path ahead.
From time to time, weird howls were heard coming from the dark forest, making the darkness scarier than it already was.
‘Damn it. Why did I come home so late when I knew there’d be demons lurking around here at night? Please, please, don’t let me see one!’ Li Nianfan thought to himself.
He was panicking on the inside, but since Daji was with him, he had to conceal his fear and act like a man! Luckily, Daji seemed alright. She made Li Nianfan feel better as she was not like other women who would have been terrified by now.
The way home seemed unusually longer than usual. Li Nianfan walked deeper into the darkness while sighing to himself, ‘How have I never noticed that there aren’t any street lights here? At least a lantern or a torch would be helpful. I should probably carry the torch with me from now on!’
In the darkness, two pairs of tiny eyes were hidden among the trees, observing Li Nianfan and Daji.
They were two extremely huge mice!
“Brother, look! Two ordinary people are coming!”
“Wow! That woman’s so pretty! Must be yummy!”
“Yeah! It’s so late now and yet, we’re lucky enough to bump into them! We’re in luck!”
“I’ll teach you something new today! When a man and woman walk into a forest, we don’t even have to take off their clothes! Learn something new?”
“Yes! Yes, I did! My brother’s so smart!”
However, when they were just about to take action, they saw that the beautiful woman turned slightly to glance at the both of them.
With just one glance, their minds went blank and their bodies stiffened. Suddenly, they felt their blood freeze.
Moments later, two ice-sculptures in the shape of mice appeared in the forest!
