# Chapter 1542: Divine Child Meets Divine Infant

On the icy wilderness, the cold wind still howled, heavy snow fell, covering that terrifying battlefield, bloodstains and broken bones all buried beneath the white snow.

A cluster of flames burned, with a cauldron set above it, filled with various rare delicacies, emitting waves of fragrance, especially enticing in the cold snow.

Ye Fan personally took action, creating another pile of flames, roasting strings of golden and oily meat strips, etc., with grease dripping down, making a sizzling sound in the fire.

So much food, all of them rare treasures rarely seen in the world. On a single ancient star alone, it would be difficult to find these few items, such as Teng Snake, Golden-Backed Divine Loach, Divine Blood Silver Chicken...

Little Nannan sat obediently on a soft cushion, staring eagerly at the various delicacies, unable to help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. The little one was truly starving.

Her experiences were pitiful and heart-wrenching—alone in the icy snow, enduring cold and hunger, the heavy snow capable of burying her small body.

"It'll be ready soon, just wait a moment." Ye Fan smiled at her.

She softly hummed in acknowledgment, blinking her big eyes, obediently waiting there. Her dirty little face had long been washed clean, and she had already changed into clean, warm, rainbow-colored clothes. After washing and grooming, the little one looked like a porcelain doll, carved from jade and powdered with makeup.

At this moment, both Li Tian and Yan Yixi were telling interesting stories to cheer up Little Nannan.

"Uncle, Nannan is fine, no need to worry." The little one was very sensible. Seeing Yan Yixi and the others surrounding her, checking on her and wanting to heal her, she spoke in her childish voice.

Little Grass was also nearby, happy to see Little Nannan unharmed.

"Alright, come, try this famous delicacy from the Ancient Human Path—Five-Patterned Leg of Lamb." Ye Fan smiled. He had already roasted a leg of lamb until it was golden, but not at all tough, the meat fresh and delicious, the rich aroma enticing.

He used a silver knife to cut it. Slicing off a piece, golden and oily with five-colored patterns of luster flowing within, quite extraordinary.

Little Nannan raised her little face, happily receiving it on a small silver plate, but instead of eating it herself, she handed it to Little Grass, saying, "Big sister, for you."

"Nannan, you eat first. I'm not hungry yet." Little Grass was a few years older and already sensible, deeply aware of Little Nannan's hunger and cold during this period, so she quickly declined.

"No need to give way, everyone gets a share." Ye Fan said with a smile, his heart filled with warmth, long gone was the killing aura from the battlefield. Seeing such pure and heartwarming scenes, he felt much better in mood.

The silver plates clinked, the two children ate very happily, waving their small silver forks like windmills, very cute and amusing.

But Ye Fan watched with some heartache—the little one was truly starving.

After so many years, suffering such grievances, Yan Yixi was very worried that Little Nannan might have problems. He whispered to Ye Fan, discussing whether they should think of a way.

However, when they cautiously probed, they found the little one was simply too pure, always remembering others' kindness, having long forgotten the unpleasantness and sadness.

No hatred in her heart, only light. A little one that one could either call heartless or simply adorably innocent.

"Nannan always forgets the past. Is she consciously erasing unpleasant memories? Or is there some ancient sorrow that requires her to forget like this?" Li Tian asked quietly.

Hearing this, Ye Fan frowned. Regarding Little Nannan's symptoms, he had thought of many things. And he had already taken action earlier to improve Little Nannan's "condition," ensuring she wouldn't forget those around her. Yet, many mysteries remained unsolved.

"Is this the secret of her immortality?" Ye Fan's heart was unsettled. Regarding Nannan's origin and identity, he had one or two conjectures that were close to reality, but he couldn't speak them out loud.

"Her Immortal Platform remains constant, unstained by dust, undisturbed by the mortal world, forgetting the past, pure and transparent—is this one of the roots of Little Nannan's immortality?" Yan Yixi also said.

He and Li Tian had long learned from Ye Fan about Little Nannan's past experiences and current situation, naturally having many thoughts.

She was like this thousands of years ago, and still like this now. There were even some indications that in the more distant ancient era, there were vague traces of her—this was a clue Ye Fan had found in the Eastern Wasteland back then. How heaven-defying was this!

"Big brother, I'm full." The little one was very happy, obediently sitting there, raising her small silver plate high to show him—she had eaten it all clean.

The little one was very simple, easily satisfied. As long as no one bullied her, she was always happy, able to influence others, making them relax and feel warmth.

Ye Fan affectionately patted her head and let her drink some hot soup. Seeing her like this, he finally felt somewhat better.

"Have we forgotten a little brat?" Li Tian chuckled.

"Where, where, where is there a little brat?" Little Nannan and Little Grass both shouted.

"Right here." Yan Yixi smiled, pulling out the chubby, plump Divine Child.

"Liar!" The two little ones shouted together.

Little Grass curiously leaned in, looking at the Divine Child through the Immortal Source, saying, "How is he in a stone? Is this a coffin? Has he died young?"

"You're the one who died young!" The little fatty woke from his dream, seeing a small face pressed close saying this, and immediately became displeased.

"Ghost!" Little Grass was startled, screamed, and backed away.

"You're the ghost! I am the greatest miracle in the world!" The little fatty said in an old-fashioned tone, then suddenly woke up, saying, "So this is the little girl you were looking for? Not impressive at all."

For a heaven-defying freak like him, possibly unique in history, he indeed had the right to say such things. In others' eyes, Little Grass could already be considered rare in bone structure, a rare talent of fine quality.

"Country bumpkin talking nonsense again, your butt itching again?" Li Tian laughed strangely, then smacked him with a slap.

"The one hundred and thirteenth time, I'm keeping count!" The Divine Child said angrily.

"Big brother, who is he?" Little Nannan poked her little head out from behind Ye Fan, curiously looking at the little fatty in the Immortal Source.

"This is a mischievous wild child, even heaven doesn't favor him, so it sealed him away." Li Tian answered first.

The Divine Child squinted at him, looking like he was grinding his teeth, then showed a disdainful expression, provoking them.

Little Nannan also came closer, curiously observing, and even touched the Immortal Source with her hand. Immediately, immortal rays flew toward her body.

"Ghost!" This time it was the little fatty's turn to shout, full of shock, staring at the little girl.

Little Nannan quickly retreated, grabbing a corner of Ye Fan's clothes, hiding behind him, only half her little head peeking out to watch.

Yan Yixi and Li Tian clicked their tongues in wonder. Although they had long heard of some of Little Nannan's miraculous aspects, seeing it in person still made them unable to help being amazed.

"She... who is she? How can she steal my source energy?!" The little fatty seemed terrified, staring wide-eyed at the little girl without blinking.

"Nannan didn't mean to." The little one said softly, stepping forward to apologize.

"Aiya, leaking my origin again! The immortal energy dormant in my body is flowing away!" The Divine Child shouted, showing fear—this was genuine terror of Little Nannan.

Ye Fan showed a surprised expression. He found that runes were flickering inside the little fatty's body, and his blood contained fragments of mysterious laws. This was truly astonishing.

Very profound, impossible to fully see through!

And the so-called immortal energy was precisely overflowing from his blood, making the little fatty's face turn pale with fear.

Little Nannan looked confused and stepped back. She remained normal, calm inside, and the rays of light overflowing from the little fatty entered her body without causing any change.

Li Tian and Yan Yixi were both moved. Little Grass didn't understand, just standing nearby looking left and right, not knowing anything.

"Help!" The little fatty was genuinely scared, shouting loudly, almost crying from fear.

"Told you to talk back, now you're scared?" Li Tian laughed, moving him a bit further away.

And Little Nannan no longer approached. After a moment, the little fatty inside the Immortal Source returned to normal, but he was still afraid, refusing to come close even if beaten to death, even wanting to escape—but unfortunately, he couldn't fly out of Ye Fan's Five Finger Mountain.

"Who is she? How can she be so terrifying and mysterious? She's this tiny, probably not even as old as me!" The Divine Child's eyes were wide, constantly pondering, very unconvinced.

"Nannan, come here." After thinking briefly, Ye Fan carried Little Nannan to the front of the Immortal Source. He wasn't trying to investigate Little Nannan but wanted to determine the Divine Child's origin.

"No!" The little fatty screamed like a pig being slaughtered, waving his hands and kicking his feet, shaking the Immortal Source.

This time, as soon as Little Nannan approached, strands of immortal energy flew out from the Divine Child's body, and rumbling sounds came from within himself, with Dao fragments in his blood increasing many times over.

"This chubby little fatty's origin is truly frightening. How old is he, and he already has such supreme Dao rule fragments in his body!" Li Tian clicked his tongue.

However, at this moment, the Divine Child was very embarrassed and disheveled, full of fear. This was an instinctive terror, the first time in his life he was so wary of someone.

Inside his body, more and more runes appeared, until finally his entire body lit up.

At the same time, the Green Copper Cauldron inside Ye Fan's body trembled, emitting a clear sound. His expression changed, and he quickly took it out.

Ye Fan held Little Nannan's hand, carefully protecting her, then directly stuffed the Divine Child into the Green Cauldron, observing closely.

"Murder! I don't want to die! You can't treat me like this! Take that little girl away!" The Divine Child howled.

"Buzz!"

The Green Copper Cauldron trembled again, shocking Ye Fan, Li Tian, and Yan Yixi, all showing expressions of disbelief. This little fatty's background was too astonishing!

Ye Fan shook the cauldron, wanting to discover more, but found the little fatty dizzy and disoriented, almost foaming at the mouth.

"Nannan, help big brother again." Ye Fan had Little Nannan reach her snow-white little hand into the cauldron, staring unblinkingly at the little fatty.

"I'm scared, I surrender! Those accounts of you spanking my butt—write them off! I won't keep count anymore!" The little fatty compromised, shouting.

His blood boiled, suppressed by Little Nannan, with even more immortal energy overflowing. Although it didn't harm his body, he felt an instinctive terror.

"Buzz!"

The Green Copper Cauldron shook, this time emitting even more blazing light, and produced several ancient syllables, exceptionally mysterious!
