The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 10 Am I Really Just a Rotten Wood?

"Ning Xiaoxian." He suddenly spoke. She was startled; this was the first time Changtian had addressed her by name. "Are you sure about this? The path of cultivation is bravely and straightly forward, once you step into it there is no turning back. If you want to back out now, it's still possible."

She laughed, her tone cold, "The way back is bound to be cut off sooner or later; rather than having others do it, it's better I take the initiative." God wanted to push her into a corner, but she was determined to carve her own path of survival, and helping Changtian was the choice she made.

What does the chaos under heaven or suffering of all beings have to do with her? Heaven forced her to save Changtian first before she could save herself!

==================

The next morning, as usual, she got up early to help Mrs. Song with the household chores.

Now that there was a severe patient at home, she cooked a couple more eggs and some slices of bacon for Dahu. Dahu watched her worriedly. He knew her; beneath her gentle and cute exterior laid a tenacious personality. Her being this quiet was too abnormal, and Dahu worried she might take some drastic actions. However, he couldn't find the reason to persuade her.

"The vegetarian banquet is tomorrow, I have to hurry off." Ning Xiaoxian gave him several encouraging smiles, then softly reminded him to rest well. Afterward, she stepped out to climb the mountain! Today, she had important tasks to perform, critical plans to make. She aimed to do her best, not just for the vegetarian banquet.

A small wooden pendant hung in front of her chest.

Last night, Changtian suddenly called her into the God Demon Prison and gave her this pendant. At that time, the color of the pendant was like that of purple crystal, emitting a faint glow.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." She glanced at him, wondering why he suddenly thought of giving her a present?

"Just hearing your descriptions makes things inconvenient," Changtian said, "There was a demon called Qiantong imprisoned here, capable of releasing the Demon Eye that could see objects outside its body. I took its Demon Eye and refined it; you must wear it on your chest."

Her smile froze. What? Put this demon's eyeball on her chest?! Doesn't he realize that for a normal person, this request is a bit too much? Regardless of how pretty it looks, it's still essentially an eyeball! As a normal Earth girl, doesn't she have the right not to wear these horrifying things?

Then, he also pulled a necklace from his chest, hanging a Demon Eye identical to hers. "The two Demon Eyes share a vision; this way, I can also see the outside world and sense its aura."

Wow, how advanced, is this the Immortal Realm's version of synchronized satellite phones?

Wait, hold on a second! For a man and a woman, having the same type of jewelry, doesn't that imply—token—of—love!

Changtian looked innocently, seeing the girl opposite turning suspiciously red. "What's with her now? Mortals have too many personal desires and distractions."

Forget it, looking at his serious appearance, it seems he probably didn't think in that direction. Human lovers use tokens of love to set their vows, no matter how handsome he is, he's still essentially a Divine Beast, how much could he understand emotions?

She suppressed her wild thoughts and demanded, "I can wear it. Can you promise to only look forward, not downward?"

After all, she was a 17-year-old beautiful, young girl with a healthy body and a slim figure, parts that should be slender were slender, and areas that should be plump were gradually becoming fuller. Although her face wasn't angelic, she was quite confident about her figure.

"..."

"I have no interest in humans!"

Changtian gritted his teeth, squeezing out these words through the gaps. In his era, when he roamed the world, he had seen countless stunning beauties among gods, demons, immortals, and mortals. And this girl, she was worried about him peeking at her chest? What made her so arrogant?

He reached out to Ning Xiaoxian: "Forget it, give it back!"

"Not giving it back!" How could she give back something she obtained? That was not in line with her beliefs, even though Changtian's words made her slightly sentimental, "I'll just wear it!" Then she glanced at the necklace on Changtian's chest and asked:

"You said that two Demon Eyes share vision, so, can I see the things in front of you?" She was very professional, she would definitely try not to peek at handsome men, well, try her best!

He pursed his attractive lips, "No. You do not possess Divine Power, you don't meet the usage conditions."

Alright, it's still just a one-way video call.

She shrugged her shoulders preparing to leave, the night outside must be deep already, she needed to hurry back to sleep, there was important business to attend to tomorrow.

"Wait a moment." Changtian called out to her again, "Almost forgot, the Demon Eye Pendant is too conspicuous on you, it still needs a disguise." She had no choice but to return the Demon Eye to him.

She thought she would witness a scene of a Qi Gong Master powering up with a "hehe haha", but all he did was place the Demon Eye on his left palm and lightly stroked over it with his right hand. The color of the Demon Eye faded, his long fingers and gentle gesture reminded her of a pianist's hands.

Handsome guys really do care a lot about their self-image.

The Demon Eye he returned to her had completely lost its luster, its texture had also become like wood, only the middle ring's color deepened, making it look like a round bullseye. Wearing this thing on Earth, would it beckon some compulsive shooter to target her unavoidably?

Then he added, "Alright, wearing it this way, no one will suspect anything."

She knew getting angry was irrational, she knew getting angry would make her less beautiful. But... it really infuriated her! After all, she was a 17-year-old youthful beauty, yet in his eyes, was she only worthy of this ugly pendant? There were two Demon Eyes, why didn't he turn the one on himself into a wooden ball?

Back on Earth when she was in high school, many boys blushed while handing her love letters or chocolates. How come in his eyes, she was on the same level as rotten wood? Uncle could bear it, but aunt could not!

Wait a minute, there's a flaw!

"Hey, didn't you say all prisoners in the God Demon Prison turned to skeletons? Where did these two eyeballs come from then?"

Changtian was taken aback, perhaps he didn't expect her to be so perceptive. It took him a while to answer: "'Qiantong' died, thought it was too wasteful to let the Demon Eyes dissipate, so he collected and forged them into magic artifacts."

"So, you actually still have quite a few magic artifacts in your possession, huh?" Why not give them to her to use? Her heart was hurt.

He was silent again for a long time before finally murmuring, "You don't have Divine Power, you can't handle them freely." Proud as he was, lying was actually a very uncomfortable thing for him.

Realized you were wrong, right? Good job, Ning Xiaoxian, you've turned the tables!

She tucked away the necklace, victoriously and spiritedly heading back.
