Although the officials of the Immortal Empress Dynasty didn't want to accept Gan Xiaoxiao's abdication, she was still their Emperor. Moreover, she had protected the Immortal Empress Dynasty for so many years. Under such circumstances, they couldn't say anything and could only follow Gan Xiaoxiao's instructions. Fortunately, the saintess selection wasn't something that could be completed overnight. Therefore, Gan Xiaoxiao's days in the Immortal Empress Dynasty would be very long.
After the abdication matter was settled, the officials naturally began to prepare for the saintess selection. As for Qin Shaofeng, Gan Xiaoxiao arranged for him to stay in the palace. Of course, Qin Shaofeng wanted to stay with Gan Xiaoxiao. However, he was rejected by Gan Xiaoxiao. The reason was that she wanted to maintain her purity before she abdicated. Staying with Qin Shaofeng was impossible.
However, Qin Shaofeng wouldn't always stay in the palace. The territory of the Immortal Empress Dynasty was incomparably vast. There were a lot of fun places to visit. Under the request of Qin Tianzhi, Wu Xiaoxian, and Mo Lengxue, Qin Shaofeng brought them around. In any case, there was still half a year before the Immortal Sect Advancement Ceremony. They had plenty of time to play.
The Immortal Sect Advancement Ceremony was something that Qin Shaofeng must participate in. Currently, the Great Emperor Qin's Dynasty was constantly expanding. Qin Shaofeng believed that in the end, the 108 continents would be unified. At that time, the Martial Immortal Continent would be the biggest obstacle. Therefore, Qin Shaofeng wanted to make some preparations during the Immortal Sect Advancement Ceremony to pave the way for the Great Emperor Qin's Dynasty.
Although Qin Shaofeng didn't do anything, he couldn't completely ignore everything. The matter of paving the way still had to be done. The Immortal Sect Advancement Ceremony was the best opportunity. When Qin Shaofeng knew about the Immortal Sect Advancement Ceremony, he had already begun to plan. Now, he already had a mature plan.
The Immortal Empress Dynasty's territory was very vast. On this day, Qin Shaofeng brought Wu Xiaoxian, Qin Tianzhi, Mo Lengxue, and the others to a large lake. This lake was called the Fairy Lake. The lake water was clear and the surrounding scenery was very beautiful. It was a rare scenic spot in the Immortal Empress Dynasty. Qin Shaofeng and the others had been wandering around for the past few days. In the end, they chose this place to rest. After that, they would return to the Immortal Empress City. They had already been out for half a year. The Immortal Sect Advancement Ceremony was about to begin.
In this half a year, Qin Shaofeng brought the girls to all the scenic spots in the Immortal Empress Dynasty. Naturally, the girls were very happy. Now that they arrived at the Fairy Lake and saw such a beautiful scenery, they were even happier. Wu Xiaoxian and the other lively girls happily went to tour the lake. As for Qin Shaofeng, Mo Lengxue, and the others, they were strolling around the lake.
In this half a year, Qin Shaofeng could be said to have enjoyed the blessings of multiple wives. With so many peerless beauties accompanying him, Qin Shaofeng was so happy that he forgot about home. He held Mo Lengxue's hand and walked forward. The other girls followed beside Qin Shaofeng. However, at this moment, a sobbing sound came from the front.
Everyone looked forward and saw a new grave not far away. There was no tombstone in front of the grave, only a child was crying sadly. Qin Shaofeng and the others saw this and walked forward. However, the crying child didn't notice them at all. He was still crying beside the grave.
Seeing such a scene, Mo Lengxue and the other girls naturally couldn't bear it. They sympathized with the crying child. Moreover, the child's clothes were very tattered, covered with oil stains. His trousers were rolled up, and he didn't wear shoes. His exposed arms and feet were also black. He looked very dirty and emitted a foul smell.
The child's back was facing Qin Shaofeng and the others. His hair was stuck together on his shoulders. No one knew how long it had been since he washed it. It seemed that this child should be a beggar. Seeing such a scene, Qin Shaofeng sighed in his heart. Not every place in the Great Thousand World was bright. There were also dark places.
In the Great Thousand World, although most people could cultivate and become cultivators, there would always be some people who could not cultivate and could only be ordinary people. This was not because this part of the people did not have the qualifications to cultivate, but because this part of the people did not have the resources to cultivate, that is, they were poor. Although such people were in the Great Thousand World, they could only be a member of the masses who struggled bitterly, unable to transcend.
For such mortals, Qin Shaofeng didn't have any rejection. He also wouldn't treat these mortals as ants because of how powerful he was. After all, all powerful cultivators were born as mortals. It was only because of the opportunity of cultivation that they could become powerful. Without this opportunity, they could only be such mortals.
Looking at the crying child, Qin Shaofeng walked up. He didn't care about the foul smell emitted from the child's body. He came to the child's side, squatted down, and gently patted the child's shoulder. The sobbing child seemed to be greatly frightened. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Shaofeng.
The first thing that entered Qin Shaofeng's eyes was a pair of eyes that were brimming with tears. They were bright and lively, with teardrops hanging from his long eyelashes. There was a lot of dirt on his slightly thin face, and because of the continuous flow of tears, there were gullies on the child's face. Looking at this child who was only seven or eight years old, Qin Shaofeng's heart was moved.
Because of his ability to see the Demon King, Qin Shaofeng already knew that this child was a little girl. Her age was really only seven or eight years old. She looked very young. Perhaps because of malnutrition, her body was very thin and small. Her complexion was also somewhat sallow. This was an ordinary mortal child. However, Qin Shaofeng discovered something unusual about this child.
Qin Shaofeng felt that this child's body contained a very powerful energy. Moreover, because of the power of his Divine Soul, Qin Shaofeng could smell that the energy in this little girl's body was actually emitting a medicinal fragrance. This made Qin Shaofeng know that this child must have consumed a top quality elixir before. Moreover, this little girl didn't explode. The huge energy was all stored in this little girl's body.
However, because this little girl didn't know how to cultivate, the huge energy imprisoned in the little girl's meridians was slowly dissipating. Fortunately, Qin Shaofeng was able to discover the situation in this little girl's body. If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to discover this situation. In the end, this little girl would become a mortal again because of the disappearance of the powerful energy in her body.
Of course, since Qin Shaofeng encountered this little girl, he naturally wouldn't ignore it. Looking at the frightened little girl, Qin Shaofeng immediately used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Technique to calm the little girl's emotions. Then, he gently said to the little girl, "Don't be afraid, Big Brother is not a bad person. Can you tell Big Brother your name?"
"Mother called me Nannan." Because Qin Shaofeng used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Technique, the little girl naturally felt close to Qin Shaofeng. Therefore, she didn't refuse to answer Qin Shaofeng's question just because Qin Shaofeng was a stranger. However, after answering Qin Shaofeng's question, looking at the new grave, Nannan sadly cried again and said, "But mother is not here. Mother doesn't want Nannan anymore."
Obviously, the one in the new grave was Nannan's mother. Looking at Nannan crying sadly, Qin Shaofeng gently hugged Nannan in his arms and said to her, "Nannan, don't cry. Nannan still has Big Brother. Big Brother will love Nannan in the future." As he spoke, he used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Technique to calm Nannan's emotions. However, the calmed Nannan quickly fell asleep.
Qin Shaofeng hugged Nannan like this and let Nannan sleep soundly in his arms. It wasn't until six hours later that Nannan slowly woke up. Seeing that she was lying in Qin Shaofeng's arms, she quickly struggled to get up and said to Qin Shaofeng, "Big Brother, Nannan's body is dirty. Let go of Nannan, otherwise you will be dirty too."
"Big Brother, don't be afraid. Nannan is not dirty. In Big Brother's eyes, Nannan is the most beautiful and the cleanest." Qin Shaofeng said after hearing Nannan's words. He didn't let go of Nannan and continued to hug her. When Nannan heard Qin Shaofeng's words, her eyes were once again filled with tears. However, she didn't cry. She forcefully endured it and quietly nestled in Qin Shaofeng's embrace.
In the following time, Qin Shaofeng and Nannan chatted. From Nannan's words, Qin Shaofeng knew that Nannan was only seven years old this year. Originally, the mother and daughter were citizens of a small dynasty under the Immortal Empress Dynasty, the Green Immortal Dynasty. This Immortal Lake City was very close to where Qin Shaofeng and the others were currently living. With Qin Shaofeng's strength, they could naturally arrive there in an instant.
However, in Nannan's story, this was a very vulgar story of a drunken master who violated a maid's innocence. Moreover, the maid became pregnant because of this, but she was chased out by the master. Ever since they were chased out, Nannan and her mother had to beg for a living until now.
However, begging for a living was very difficult. In the end, Nannan's mother fell ill. Because they didn't have the money to treat her illness, she died. Little Nannan went through untold hardships to bury her mother. When she was grieving, Qin Shaofeng and the others just happened to arrive. Although the story wasn't very novel, it was the truth. This was what Nannan had experienced.
