Stellar Blue Eyes

Tang Ning, who was unaware of all these events, continued walking in the direction pointed by Mo Ye. As she walked further, Tang Ning noticed trees thinning and more sunlight seeping in, and when the path for exiting the forest was faintly visible, she stopped walking.

"Okay, after we get out of the forest, leave quickly!" She waved her hand and told the young girl who had been following her.

The young girl looked at the path ahead and then at Tang Ning, before she asked, "Are you going back? It's very dangerous inside."

"That is none of your business." Tang Ning said impatiently and turned back to enter the forest again.

But when Tang Ning saw the young girl following her again, she could no longer control her temper. She turned to look at the young girl and angrily scolded her, "That's enough! Why are you still following me? I have already sent you out safely, don't be unreasonable!"

The young girl was shocked and involuntarily took a step back. She replied nervously, "I-I have nowhere to go."

"Isn't there a path right in front of you? Why would you have nowhere to go to?" Tang Ning frowned as she spoke and stared at the young girl, "I have noticed you since we got out of the dungeon. You are always approaching me, what do you want?"

The young girl fell silent. She lowered her head and did not utter a single word.

Looking at this situation, Tang Ning didn't speak anymore and turned to leave. But just when she took her first step, the young girl grabbed onto her sleeve.

"Let go!"

Tang Ning frowned and shook the young girl's hand off her sleeve. However, just after Tang Ning took a few steps, she saw the young girl run ahead and directly kneel before her.

"I just wish to follow you. I do not have any ulterior motives. I want to follow you because you are different from the rest." The young girl was looking at Tang Ning with a serious expression, as she spoke. Simultaneously, she pulled back her scattered hair, which was covering half her face, and revealed the eye patch on her right eye.

Looking at this scene, Tang Ning was silent and thought to herself: "Different again?" She knew that she was different, after all, where else could one find a person who transmigrated in this immortality cultivating world?

However, what surprised Tang Ning was the young girl's right eye after the young girl removed her eye patch. She had a blue eye with a star pupil, as beautiful as the starry night sky.

Having lived in the 21st century in her previous life, Tang Ning thought that the young girl's eye was inconceivably beautiful. However, to the people of this world, this eye was foreign and discriminated against.

"My name is Gu Qingge, and I was born with this unfortunate eye. My mother died while giving birth to me, and the only other person who loved me, my grandfather, passed away when I was seven. I was abandoned and disposed of at the Wolf Valley, but I managed to survive because this eye could see things others couldn't."

She paused for a moment and looked at Tang Ning before continuing. "Of all the people captured in the dungeon, you were the only one who showed chances of living. I knew I could only survive by following you, and that's why I kept following you, I want to live on."

"I have nowhere to go to and no home to return to. Please let me follow you! I can do anything for you, so long as you let me be by your side." After speaking, the young girl kowtowed heavily to Tang Ning.

Tang Ning frowned and then stepped forward and pulled the young girl up. "Your eye is very beautiful, and it is not a symbol of misfortune. Not to mention, didn't you say that this eye could see things that others couldn't? This shows that it is a unique gift for you from the Heavens."

After that, Tang Ning flung her sleeves before continuing. "Look, I have nothing with me. Everything was snatched by the black-hearted person. I can't raise such a big person like you."
