By the time Ye Ping’an woke up again, a whole day had already passed.
When Ye Ping’an regained consciousness, a wave of pain instantly swept through his entire body. He struggled a few times, but in the end, he still couldn’t stand up. All the bones in his body felt as if they had fallen apart.
He figured it would take at least a day or two before he could move freely again, and that was only if he soaked in the Spirit Pool.
It was clear just how terrifying the power hidden within that blow from Xiao Mengyao was!
He didn’t know why, but his mouth still felt fragrant, as if there was a sweet scent lingering there. Maybe it was just his imagination! After all, there was no such thing as chewing gum in this world.
“Senior Brother, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.” As soon as Xiao Mengyao saw Ye Ping’an awaken, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ye Ping’an’s hand, her face full of worry as she spoke.
However, what Xiao Mengyao didn’t know was that, at the moment she gazed at Ye Ping’an, her eyes—which had already turned black—reverted to their original pink.
Under the gaze of those pink pupils, Ye Ping’an suddenly felt that his junior sister in front of him was so pitiful and helpless. How could such a lovable junior sister possibly be at fault?
It was all because he hadn’t dodged in time that things had turned out like this; it had nothing to do with Xiao Mengyao at all. In fact, Ye Ping’an even felt guilty for making Xiao Mengyao cry.
Ye Ping’an held Xiao Mengyao’s hand and hurriedly said, “Junior Sister, I don’t blame you. It’s all because my cultivation is too low. If you don’t cry, it’s all my fault as your senior brother. As long as you don’t cry, I’ll do anything for you!”
At this moment, Ye Ping’an seemed to have turned into an ancient bootlicker who had cultivated for countless years.
“Hey! Sen… Senior Brother, did you hit your head or something?” Hearing Ye Ping’an say such things—so different from his usual self—and seeing his silly and dazed expression, Xiao Mengyao was stunned!
“Yeah! Young Master, did you really hurt your head?” Ningyue also noticed that something was off with Ye Ping’an and began to worry.
Hearing Ningyue’s words, Xiao Mengyao was instantly filled with guilt. Her senior brother had become like this, and it was obvious that her blow had damaged his mind.
She immediately threw herself into Ye Ping’an’s arms and began to cry. She still wanted her old senior brother back, not this obviously abnormal, bootlicking senior brother.
But just as Xiao Mengyao threw herself onto Ye Ping’an, Ye Ping’an’s body twitched, and his muddled mind finally cleared.
Remembering the scene he had just witnessed and his own tone that was like a seasoned bootlicker, Ye Ping’an couldn’t help but shudder.
However, Ye Ping’an also realized that this must have been Xiao Mengyao awakening some kind of divine ability—most likely the legendary Double Pupils.
In this world, there were quite a few people who awakened innate Pupil Technique, but almost all of them only awakened a single Pupil Technique.
Yet Xiao Mengyao had actually awakened the rare Double Pupils, which surprised Ye Ping’an. Double Pupils were incredibly rare, and most importantly, they were the key to unlocking the Star Eye.
The reason Double Pupils were so rare was that normal people simply couldn’t withstand the pressure brought by multiple divine abilities and rules.
And Double Pupils themselves were two kinds of divine abilities, which also meant the possessor could contain multiple divine abilities.
What was the Star Eye? It was when one’s divine abilities were as numerous as the stars in the sky, as if they formed a world of their own.
To be able to create a world of one’s own was said to be the key to breaking through to Supreme.
Therefore, if one wanted to unlock the Starry Eyes, the prerequisite was to first awaken Double Pupils.
Ye Ping’an knew this because, in the original story, there was a description of the Boss Behind the Scenes.
This Boss Behind the Scenes never revealed their face, always shrouded in shadow whenever they appeared, but the main cast had interacted with them more than once.
Otherwise, how could they have become followers?
The most striking thing about the Boss Behind the Scenes was a pair of eyes, as dazzling as a starry sky, that could draw people in—the Starry Eyes.
And this meant that Xiao Mengyao possessed the potential to evolve into the Star Eye.
And this also meant that Xiao Mengyao had the potential to evolve into the Star Eye.
Thinking of this, Ye Ping’an had a preliminary plan in his heart. He quickly pressed Xiao Mengyao’s head, making her rest her head against his stomach.
Don’t get the wrong idea, Ye Ping’an wasn’t being lecherous—he just didn’t want Xiao Mengyao’s gaze to land on him again!
Feeling the frail girl in his arms, although her figure was still petite, Ye Ping’an felt that even if he faced the Scripture Repository Elder, this petite junior sister of his could easily defeat him with her own strength alone.
If you added her newly awakened divine ability, it would be no exaggeration to say she could utterly crush him.
Thinking about the power of those pink Double Pupils, Ye Ping’an said seriously, “Junior Sister, don’t get up just yet. That Pupil Technique is so powerful that just being looked at made me act like a bootlicker. What if I accidentally reveal all my plans?”
“Eh? Senior Brother, what’s wrong?” Hearing that her senior brother’s tone had finally returned to normal, the obedient Xiao Mengyao naturally didn’t dare move.
Having long been the obedient little junior sister, she subconsciously obeyed Ye Ping’an’s words. She would only move if her senior brother told her to. In fact, any direction would do.
“You’ve awakened a very dangerous Pupil Technique. If you look at someone for too long, you might turn them into an idiot.”
“Since you can’t control it yet, why not use a cloth to cover your eyes? Once you’ve mastered it, you can take it off.”
“Oh, okay, I’ll listen to Senior Brother.” Xiao Mengyao immediately nodded, secretly relieved to find out that the problem was with her eyes.
Following Ye Ping’an’s guidance, she found a silk ribbon, covered her eyes, tied it behind her hair, and made a butterfly knot.
To be honest, Xiao Mengyao was truly adorable now—even with this blindfolded look, she was irresistibly cute.
Since her senior brother’s mind wasn’t damaged, Xiao Mengyao could finally relax.
She then told her senior brother and Ningyue everything about her situation, including the changes in her vision and the transformation of her bones after being touched by the golden light in her body.
When they heard that Xiao Mengyao had actually awakened two innate divine abilities, the two of them were shocked on the spot.
Ningyue had never even heard of anyone being able to awaken two divine abilities.
Not only had Xiao Mengyao awakened an incredibly terrifying Pupil Technique, she had also awakened another unknown physique.
This was something absolutely unprecedented, so of course she was extremely shocked.
As for Ye Ping’an, after a brief moment of shock, he suddenly remembered a certain description from the plot.
A female protagonist with terrifying talent once told the main character a piece of information: if someone achieved a Perfect Dao Foundation before the age of ten, then that person could rightfully be called a Young Supreme.
Under the Heavenly Rule, those with a Perfect Dao Foundation would be granted Supreme Power.
