Little Nannan

The group traversed the Void the Great, arriving directly from the Northern Region to the Southern Region.

Tu Fei followed as well.

He also wanted to see what the Primordial Sacred Body that had broken the curse was like.

Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland.

The Yan Kingdom stretches two thousand li from north to south and three thousand li from east to west. Such territory is but a drop in the ocean in the Eastern Wasteland. There are countless states like it.

It is known to the world undoubtedly because of the Primordial Forbidden Land in its central region, which has been the subject of countless legends since ancient times. Countless peerless masters have perished here, and even more unparalleled holy lands have been destroyed.

The group entered Yan Capital, a bustling city with a constant stream of vehicles and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.

"Crispy chicken wings, money back guarantee if you don't like them."

"Zhang's soup dumplings have thin skin, generous filling, and are juicy and delicious. Come and try them!"

Ye Fan smiled. The place was exactly the same as before, without any changes, as if he had never left.

"A city for ordinary people, tsk tsk!" Tu Fei's thieving eyes kept glancing at the girls on the roadside, nodding occasionally.

"Tu Fei, you better go blind with those thieving eyes of yours! →_→" Zhou Tong glanced at him sideways.

"Hey, what kind of look is that?" Tu Fei immediately bristled. Every time he paid even a little attention to those fairies and goddesses along the way, he would inevitably be met with such a look.

It wasn't just Zhou Tong; Ye Fan had the same look in his eyes.

"Big brother... I'm hungry, please buy me a steamed bun, please, Nannan so hungry."

Just then, a childish and pitiful voice came from behind. Ye Fan, Zhou Tong, and Tu Fei immediately turned around and saw a dirty and pitiful little girl blinking her big eyes, tugging at Ye Fan's trouser leg, and looking up at him.

She looked to be only three or four years old. Her clothes were tattered and her face was covered in dirt, but her eyes were bright and clear.

"The Dao Fruit of the Ruthless Great Emperor! It has indeed appeared!" Zhou Tong was shocked.

Although he had long suspected that such a little girl might appear, he was still shocked when he actually saw her, because his divine sense had not detected her existence at all.

"Speaking of which, is this the Ruthless Great Emperor's Longevity Method, or did she specifically wait for Ye Fan?" Zhou Tong was somewhat hesitant. If Ye Fan had this little girl by his side when he was undergoing his tribulation, could he have restrained the curse of the Primordial Sacred Body?

Upon thinking of this, Zhou Tong was immediately shocked. Could it be that this Xiao Nannan was left outside by the Ruthless Great Emperor to wait for Ye Fan and help him overcome that crucial tribulation?

"Perhaps this little girl was really meant for Ye Fan? But something happened to the Dao Fruit along the way, so Ye Fan didn't get to use Dao Fruit?" The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth. This little girl might actually have been deliberately left outside by the Ruthless Great Emperor to shield Ye Fan from disaster...

"But there's a problem. When the Ruthless Great Emperor was around, the Primordial Sacred Body didn't have any curse at all. It was only after her Dao Fruit was lost that the curse of the Primordial Sacred Body appeared... Logically speaking, the Ruthless Great Emperor shouldn't have thought of this!"

"Given the Ruthless Great Emperor's style, if she knew about this curse while she was lucid, she would definitely search the entire Underworld without hesitation, determined to completely destroy that Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure or something like that..."

"Of course, the most likely reason is that they can't find it... I remember that the Wu Shi the Great once hunted down the Underworld all over the world, but the Underworld was too good at hiding and wouldn't come out, Wu Shi the Great couldn't find their headquarters. The Ruthless Great Emperor probably couldn't find the Underworld either, which is why she didn't take action."

Zhou Tong felt conflicted. This little girl in front of him was Ye Fan's real backer!

"Nannan so hungry, big brother, please be kind and buy me a bag to eat." The little girl looked timid and frightened, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had been starving for many days.

Seeing the little girl's pitiful state, even Tu Fei, who was standing nearby, felt a pang of sympathy. He and Ye Fan went to a nearby stall and bought some soup dumplings, which they then gave to the little girl.

"Come with us!" Zhou Tong suddenly said just as Ye Fan was about to turn around and leave.

"Zhou Tong, you're taking her with you?" Tu Fei was surprised.

"You two try to sense her with your own divine sense first! There's something strange about this little girl!" Zhou Tong transmitted his voice directly to Ye Fan and Tu Fei.

"I really can't detect it!!" Tu Fei was shocked.

"I remember now, when I came here years ago, I encountered the exact same thing. It was this little girl begging here too!" Ye Fan was also shocked. "Years have passed, and she hasn't changed at all. Logically speaking, children of this age should grow up very quickly!"

"Ye Fan! Is someone targeting you?" Tu Fei looked at Ye Fan nervously.

"No, this kind of pure gaze shouldn't be faked, nor could it be faked!" Ye Fan immediately rejected Tu Fei's idea.

"No matter what, just keep her by your side!" Zhou Tong Sound Dao, "Maybe we can glean something from her!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tong immediately activated his Martial Heavenly Eye, staring at the Xiao Nannan.

This is the Dao Fruit of the Ruthless Great Emperor!

The Great Emperor's Dao Fruit is right before our eyes. As long as we can discern something from it, we will surely reap a huge reward!

Unfortunately, Zhou Tong couldn't see anything. His strength was too weak; he was only at the Dragon Transformation Realm and couldn't discern anything at all.

Xiao Nannan is Great Emperor Dao Fruit, and the stronger a person is, the more they can sense her extraordinary nature.

However, at the very least, one must be a saint to be qualified to see anything.

"What did you see?" Ye Fan and Tu Fei, knowing that Zhou Tong possessed the Heavenly Eye, immediately asked.

"I can't tell. Even with my level of Heavenly Eye, I can't see it. She must have a great background!" Zhou Tong Sound Dao. "This little girl's background is at least at the level of Ancient Saint. If she has no ill intentions, keeping her by my side will definitely be a protective charm."

"Ancient Saint!! Amulets..." Tu Fei couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement; this background was just too terrifying.

At this moment, Ye Fan squatted down, patted the little girl's head, and asked, "Don't you have any relatives?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes, shook her head in confusion, and said, "No, Nannan don't remember anything."

"You don't remember anything?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, but after Zhou Tong's reminder, he realized something, and his expression gradually calmed down.

"Every now and then, I forget everything from the past and have no memory of it at all. In a few more days, I might not even remember my older brother." The little Nannan lowered her head, looking somewhat downcast.

"How could this happen?" Tu Fei couldn't help but ask.

"Nannan don't know myself. I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. I don't know where I came from or where I'm going. Everyone else has relatives, but I don't. Nannan so lonely and sad." The little girl lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"You won't be alone anymore, come with us!" Zhou Tong said softly.

For now, this is a protective charm; with her, you can even break into Forbidden Zone!

"Really?" The little girl looked up at Ye Fan with a hopeful expression.

Her gaze lingered most on Ye Fan, and Ye Fan held the highest place in her heart.

"Of course!" Ye Fan smiled in response to that look.

Let's go get something to eat first!

The three of them took the Xiao Nannan to a nearby restaurant and treated her to a big meal.
