She smiled.
Ning Fan became even more nervous.
Of course, the Double-Pupil Maiden wasn't a villain. He wasn't afraid of her attacking him, but rather, he was nervous because it was the first time he'd met such a powerful individual, and the vast difference in strength was overwhelming.
It was like seeing a big shot from some government organization in his previous life.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Seeing Ning Fan's nervousness, the Double-Pupil Maiden smiled, though not quite.
Her voice was as gentle and delicate as a flowing stream of clear water.
"Oh, no! Hehe... Senior, you look like a good person at first glance. This junior feels nothing but warmth, so how could I be afraid?"
Ning Fan cautiously flattered.
Anyway, it didn't cost anything to speak nicely.
He immediately gave the Double-Pupil Maiden a "good person" card.
"Oh, is that so?"
The Double-Pupil Maiden gave him a meaningful look.
"Uh... Hehe, of course!"
Ning Fan scratched his head and gave a wry smile.
"Oh no!"
"The Ancient Double-Pupil Maiden! One of the two living possessors of double pupils, a Dao One realm sect master!"
"And she even inherited the Ruthless Great Emperor's legacy!"
"Wait! Shi Yi, and now me, there are three double-pupiled individuals in the world."
"What's she doing in the Great Wilderness?"
"Hmm, I've confirmed it. She's destined for me, she should be my wife."
"No wonder! Even Shi Hao was captivated when he first saw her."
"He said something like: With such beauty and temperament, I wonder who will be fortunate enough to walk alongside her."
[Even I'd be tempted!]
[Love is like a tornado, it just comes out of nowhere. Mommy, I'm in love!]
[She has a great figure and looks good, definitely fertile. My eyes are so good!]
[Er… wrong! Off topic. That's not the point. The point is, why is she in the Great Wilderness, and why did I run into her?]
[Shouldn't she be in Fire Nation's Medicine Capital, in her heavenly Double-Pupil Palace? She should be waiting for the Great Wilderness catastrophe, planning to get the Barren Region's first spiritual root—that is, the supreme giant Immortal King: the sixth of the fake medicine seller's body.**
[Wrong! Wrong, wrong… At this point in time, she should be at the Heaven Mending Pavilion's Ancient Holy Academy, waiting to teach Shi Yi!]
[Trembling in fear! So nervous. Being found by my future wife, and she can crush me a million times over. Online question: what do I do? What do I do?]
"Someone has already found this playboy?"
"The Ancient Double-Pupil Maiden?"
Countless fairies were shocked.
Someone actually dared to steal their opportunity before they could even act? That bad woman! She must also have a diary copy.
Thinking that Ning Fan would definitely write more about the Double-Pupil Maiden next, and she would receive a lot of diary rewards, the fairies and saintesses of the myriad races and sects were unhappy.
Although their actions were indeed slow, others had gotten there before them, and there was nothing they could blame.
However, seeing others gain great opportunities and then soar, it was more painful than being killed, as if they had missed out on hundreds of millions.
It was typical of "I can't make money, but I can't stand to see others make a lot of money."
"Heh! Whatever!"
The resentful fairies sneered.
Through the diary, across countless mountains and rivers, they seemed to see Ning Fan, who was utterly dejected.
Anyway, according to the diary's rules, those who possessed diary copies were forbidden from attacking Ning Fan.
But they could still enjoy the show, knowing he was in trouble.
However, they discovered something significant: Ning Fan was unaware of the diary copies and didn't know his diary entries were being read by them.
Otherwise, Ning Fan wouldn't have been so brazen as to mock and flirt with people right in front of them, especially when he was being blocked on the road.
Including the Double-Pupil Maiden present, they all thought the same.
"Interesting!"
"Awesome! So awesome! Reading this diary on the sly, and the owner doesn't even know."
"Update faster, I want to read more!"
Countless fairies held their diary books and urged for more updates.
This kind of sneaking around, reading other people's diaries to eat melon, and the other person not knowing about it, made their hearts feel incredibly stimulated.
Of course, there were also those who were shocked after reading the diary's content.
"She's actually a Double-Pupil person just like Yi'er?"
Yu Rou and her niece, Yu Zi Mo, were reading the diary together.
"I didn't expect that she would be someone even Hao'er is moved by."
Qin Yi Ning, who was searching the vast Barren Region for Ning Fan, felt a sense of helplessness. What could she possibly do, even if she found Ning Fan, under the thumb of such a powerful individual?
She wouldn't be able to take him away.
Wait a minute… he's going to Stone Village to find that powerful sacrificial spirit, and he'll also look for Shi Hao. Can't I just camp out at Stone Village?
A spark of inspiration lit up Qin Yi Ning's eyes.
Even if she couldn't take Ning Fan away, she could still get acquainted with him, and then be written about in the diary. She could still win the prize!
"Does our Heaven Mending Pavilion have such a powerful individual?"
Thinking about the predicament of the Heaven Mending Pavilion, Xia You Yu was overjoyed.
"The number one spirit root of the Barren Region is actually that Dao friend?"
Willow Deity also felt incredibly surprised.
As for Ning Fan being intercepted by the Double-Pupil Maiden, she didn't care. She also didn't mind him being taken as a disciple by someone else; after all, this world didn't have a rule limiting one to a single master.
With the diary's rules in place, she wasn't worried about Ning Fan being harmed by the other party. Forget the diary's protection, she was also conducting real-time surveillance.
After getting help from the Three Lights Divine Water...
Taking Ning Fan away at a critical moment wouldn't be difficult!
"Why are this junior's thoughts so mixed?"
The Double-Pupil Maiden was speechless because of Ning Fan.
Right in front of her, he was flirting with her like that in the diary. Was this really okay?
Things like dating, being good at raising children…
She had lived since ancient times, and being teased by a mere Blood Refining realm child made her very depressed.
She even made Ning Fan, her ancestor, sound younger.
Don't be angry, don't be angry! The diary copy has rules, and I'm here to get rewards. This little guy has double pupils and will be my disciple in the future. Absolutely can't be angry! Whew…
The Double-Pupil Maiden took a deep breath, forcing herself not to dwell on it.
Then, she stared blankly at the diary's contents, feeling incredibly fortunate.
"I didn't expect that the Barren Region's number one spiritual root, which I've been planning for so long, would be such a powerful individual. It seems this matter requires a long-term plan."
She was lucky to have obtained this diary.
And also, she was lucky that Ning Fan had double pupils, which led her to find him early.
Otherwise, if she had followed her original plan, she wouldn't know how she would have offended the strong individual, and wouldn't even know how she would die.
This diary, or rather, her disciple, was truly a great opportunity! Not only did it give her a divine object like the diary, but it was also all-knowing, aware of everything in the past, present, and future, allowing her to avoid many pitfalls and gain countless benefits.
"I wonder... what is the purpose of Senior's search for me?"
After calming down, Ning Fan became incredibly well-behaved, speaking with humility.
To write about me like that in the diary, teasing me, and now he's learned humility and shyness?
You little scoundrel, wait until you're under my tutelage, and see how I deal with you!
The Double-Pupil Maiden inwardly sighed.
But the matter at hand was important; she was very satisfied with Ning Fan.
"You naturally know my identity and, like you, I am a Double-Pupiled individual. You should enter my sect and become my disciple to cultivate."
This person had obtained a great fortune, and wasn't the type to become carried away, ignorant of the vastness of the world, disrespectful of those stronger than him, and arrogant and ignorant.
What he imagined in his heart didn't matter; at least in reality, he knew to be humble and low-key, which was very good.
This little guy really had a connection with her!
It was only right that he should be her only disciple.
[What's called a surprise? Explain it, what's called a surprise?]
[Happiness from the heavens… Double-Pupil Maiden—my wife! She actually wants me to be her disciple?]
[This is a huge surprise!]
[Sure enough, this young master is truly brilliant and imposing, handsome and captivating. I've been hiding for so long since I transmigrated, and I've still been discovered. My dear wife truly has discerning eyes!]
[However, dear wife, could you ask that again? You must have been too nervous to say the right thing when you saw me. We're supposed to be taking a master, not getting married, right?]
