Chapter 112: Little Nannan and the Black Emperor

Ye Fan!

Seeing the familiar man among the many figures, Feng Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of realization.

Because of the Luo Book, Ye Fan, who had undergone a huge change, naturally grew faster than in the original story and could stir up the winds and clouds of the Northern Dipper even more.

Now he is not only one of the most outstanding experts of the younger generation in the Eastern Wasteland, but also a renowned Source Master.

The Jade Pool needed the precious blood of various special physiques to nourish the Nine Aperture Holy Spirit Stone, speeding up the gestation of its holy spirit, and also required a Source Master to seal the divine source wrapping the Heavenly Prince; naturally it would invite Ye Fan, who is both an Ancient Holy Body and a young expert who inherited the Source Heavenly Master's legacy.

A thought flickered through his mind, but Feng Yi did not pay much attention to Ye Fan; instead, he subconsciously turned his gaze to the little girl beside him.

She was a cute child carved like jade and ivory, about three years old, with a pair of clear, bright big eyes full of innocence and naivety, looking like just an ordinary little girl.

But the moment he saw this little girl, Feng Yi's spiritual sense gave a faint warning; his eyes turned directly to a pale gold, carrying the lofty implication of seeing through falsehood and perceiving fate.

At the same time, his mind instinctively recalled the peerless woman he had encountered during his tribulation, and that terrifying attack of extreme sharpness.

In a daze, deep in Feng Yi's eyes, the peerless woman and the innocent little girl, one large and one small, seemed to overlap completely.

Hum

It seemed shaken by Feng Yi's gaze; the girl's aura shifted slightly, her body faintly flickering with a crystalline glass-like luster, hinting at divinity.

Noticing this, Feng Yi instantly withdrew his probing gaze.

Indeed, it's the incarnation of the Ruthless Person's Dao Fruit!

This thought arose in his mind, and Feng Yi involuntarily recalled the information about this little girl.

She is the Dao Fruit incarnation of that supremely powerful being, the Ruthless Person, who walks the Red Dust Immortal Path; she represents the Ruthless Person's purest, most precious youthful aspect, taking her place in the red dust to wander and seek her elder brother.

Because Ye Fan is a flower similar to the Ruthless Person's elder brother, under a special karmic bond, he coincidentally encountered this little girl.

To some extent, the experiences of this little girl, the incarnation of the Ruthless Person's own Dao Fruit, also count as helping the Ruthless Person fulfill her obsession of accompanying her elder brother.

On the other side, Ye Fan looked at the familiar figure in dark robes beside the fairy pool, and his eyes involuntarily showed a hint of surprise.

Fuxi Human Ancestor!

He actually is here!

This thought arose in his mind, and Ye Fan's face involuntarily showed a look of joy.

For this ancestor who came with him to this ancient star and had given him great help, his heart had always regarded him as an elder of his own family.

Just as Ye Fan was about to step forward, he seemed to sense something, turned his head to look beside him, and noticed a change in the little girl.

"Nannan, what's wrong?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, the little girl's anomalous phenomenon vanished instantly; afterward, her big eyes were full of confusion, as if she had no idea what had just happened to her.

Ye Fan examined her closely for a moment and found that Nannan had indeed undergone no change; it seemed as if everything just now had been his own illusion, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt.

Afterward, he looked elsewhere and asked doubtfully, "Heihuang, what's wrong with you?"

Beside him was a huge black dog, larger than a fierce tiger, as strong as a bull, with a square head, big ears, and snow-white canine teeth.

At this moment, the big black dog stared at the distant dark-robed figure with a face full of surprise and doubt, its glossy black fur seeming ready to explode.

Following the big black dog's gaze, Ye Fan's eyes showed a hint of astonishment as he said, "Heihuang, do you know Fuxi Human Ancestor?"

"Fuxi."

The big black dog's body trembled, and it hurriedly looked at Ye Fan, saying, "You know him; he is Fuxi."

Having said that, the big black dog no longer paid attention to Ye Fan; its beast eyes full of doubt, it muttered in a voice only it could hear: "Impossible, how could that be? He is not from the ancient times."

Seeing the big black dog revert to its usual mysterious, mumbling self, Ye Fan shook his head, ignored it, and walked to the edge of the fairy pool.

Looking at the dark-robed figure before him, he hastily performed a salute, saying, "Greetings, senior; I never expected to meet you here in the Jade Pool!"

Not knowing whether Fuxi Human Ancestor had revealed his true identity in the Jade Pool, Ye Fan did not directly address him by his title.

"Hmm."

Feng Yi nodded, smiling, and said, "Little friend Ye Fan, your fame has been soaring lately in the Eastern Wasteland; I've heard rumors of you even in the Feng clan."

"Senior, you overpraise me."

Ye Fan's face showed a hint of embarrassment as he said, "All of this is thanks to your past help, senior; without you, I would not have undergone such a great change."

Beside them, the Feng Clan Holy Master, upon hearing the conversation between his ancestor and this Ancient Holy Body, felt his heart jolt.

"The relationship between our ancestor and this Ancient Holy Body seems not ordinary!"

Thinking this, he immediately changed his clan's attitude toward this Ancient Holy Body in his heart.

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Ye Fan seemed to think of something, looked at the little Nannan beside him, and said, "Senior, can you tell Nannan's origin? You don't know, Nannan she."

Speaking, Ye Fan detailed Nannan's amnesia, her inability to grow, and so on.

Among the people he had met, this Fuxi Human Ancestor before him was the most mysterious, versed in divination, even able to let him see future events from the Luo Book; perhaps she could discern Nannan's origin and help her resolve her amnesia and stunted growth.

Now that he had happened to meet her, Ye Fan also wanted to give it a try.

"Little Nannan?"

Looking at the little Nannan beside Ye Fan, who showed a dazed expression, Feng Yi pondered a moment and said softly, "You can regard her as a youthful Great Emperor, currently in a metamorphosis phase, which is why you see those conditions; once her metamorphosis completes, everything will naturally return to normal."

"A youthful Great Emperor."

Hearing Feng Yi's words, everyone showed a shocked expression, then looked at little Nannan with suspicion and uncertainty.

Seeing everyone's gaze fall upon her, little Nannan's small face showed a timid expression, and she instinctively clung to Ye Fan's clothes.

Seeing this, Ye Fan truly could not link this pure little girl with the legendary invincible Great Emperor of the world, and couldn't help but ask again: "Senior, is little Nannan truly a youthful Great Emperor?"

"Hmm."

Feng Yi nodded, chuckled lightly, and said, "Moreover, she is a Great Emperor deeply connected to you, which is why she met you under fate's guidance."

"Deeply connected to me"

Ye Fan's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and a vague image appeared in his mind, as if he had grasped something.

Upon hearing that this Ancient Holy Body was actually related to a Great Emperor, the looks of those beside him toward Ye Fan also changed.

After a good while, Ye Fan came to his senses and instinctively wanted to continue questioning, but saw Feng Yi gently shake his head at him.

"Heavenly secrets must not be leaked, right?"

"This thought popped into his mind; although Ye Fan was curious, he also had the tact not to ask further."

"At the same time, noticing that the big black dog beside him was behaving completely differently from usual—unusually quiet—Ye Fan's heart stirred, he pointed at it and said with a smile, 'Senior, can you tell the origin of the Black Emperor?'"

"As for this big black dog that is deficient in virtue, emits smoke, knows a lot, and often acts mysteriously, Ye Fan has actually always been curious about its origin."

"Now that he has finally encountered Fuxi, the human ancestor who is skilled in divination, Ye Fan naturally will not let this opportunity slip."

'"Woof"'

"Hearing Ye Fan's words, the big black dog beside him bared its teeth and instinctively lunged to bite him."

"But the next moment, noticing that the gaze of the figure in dark robes had fallen upon it, the big black dog's body trembled and it instantly fell silent."

'"Tsk tsk."'

"Seeing this scene, Ye Fan couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart."

"Who would have thought that this usually lawless dead dog would also have moments of fear?"

"After glancing at the big black dog, Feng Yi said in a calm tone, 'He is a dog that the Wushi Emperor raised back then; he should have received the baptism of the Wushi Emperor's holy blood and been sealed by a divine source, which is why he has survived to this lifetime.'"

'"Wushi Dadi"'

"Hearing Feng Yi's words, everyone's hearts jolted, and they couldn't help but show surprised expressions; they never expected that this big black dog would actually be related to that most legendary great emperor."

"The Queen Mother of the West seemed to think of something; her gaze toward the big black dog was not friendly toward her own people, but instead carried a hint of wariness."

'"You dead dog actually really are related to the Wushi Emperor."'

"Saying this, Ye Fan's heart stirred, he looked at the big black dog and asked curiously, 'It is rumored that the Wushi Emperor, in his later years, once adopted a stray dog; could that be you?'"

"Hearing Ye Fan's address, the big black dog's gaze toward him became increasingly dangerous."

"If it weren't for the terrifying presence beside him at this moment, it would have already lunged at him."

'"Later years."'

"Hearing Ye Fan's words, Feng Yi shook his head and said, 'Wushi is still alive now and is in his prime; where does the talk of his later years come from? Even if one were to speak of later years, it should refer to the later years of his second life.'"

'"What!"'

'"The Wushi Emperor is still alive in the world!"'

'"Second life?"'

"Feng Yi's words rang out like a thunderclap in everyone's hearts and minds, leaving them stunned in place."

'"Woof"'

"The big black dog was the first to react, its face showing extreme delight, and it hurriedly said, 'You say the Emperor is still alive? Where is the Emperor now?'"

"The others were awakened by the big black dog's words and also curiously looked toward Feng Yi."

"Especially the Queen Mother of the West, who showed an excitement that could not be concealed."

"Ordinary people may not know the origin of the Wushi Emperor, but as the current master of the Jade Pond, how could she not know?"

"The Wushi Emperor is the founder of their Jade Pond, the offspring of the female emperor, the Queen Mother of the West of a generation, and is a son of the Jade Pond."

"Now that she has heard that this ancestor of the Jade Pond still exists in the world, how could she not be excited?"
