Chapter 390: Love at first sight.
In a beautiful spiritual forest at night, several young women and some men were doing various things, preparing the food and the place where they were going to rest.
Although one of them looked quite dejected as she sat on a tree trunk, staring into nothingness.
Her friends present sighed upon seeing her like this and approached her.
"Nian, why so glum? Are you thinking about it again?" her closest friend asked as she hugged her a little, and the woman they were talking to, Xu Nian, sighed.
"...I can't help it." She said a bit annoyed, but she was getting annoyed at meaningless things, so her friends laughed.
"Hahaha, Nian, just give it up already. It's hard to be able to catch up with those people. They are powerful and do what they want, they are rich, how can we get into their eyes?" another one of them asked, and Xu Nian sighed.
"But... I almost met him that day... I just wanted to introduce myself and maybe he would remember my name." She said despondently.
Her spirits had been low for several days now, and her friends couldn't find any way to help her bring them up.
They could only try each time, but she kept regretting it.
Among these people, some men were in love with her. One was bolder than the rest, for not only did he have a good status, but he had a very good appearance.
He approached her.
"Nian, I understand that you like him, his talent is amazing and he has a very good face, plus his status is the highest. But he has never glanced at you and doesn't even know your name, why obsess over him? In my case, I can promise you everything my family has to offer, while he... He seems to have a lot of women behind him, maybe he doesn't even value women." This man said.
He had always been straightforward, and Xu Nian knew it, as they had known each other for a long time. He doesn't know how to choose his words, and everyone is usually used to this. But to hear him say that about this guy who drove her crazy from the beginning, it was annoying to hear.
And her friends knew it, so they immediately tried to rebuke him, but Xu Nian's voice came first with a cold stare.
"So, what if you can give me everything? I've told you many times, I don't like you. I'd rather he didn't give me anything, but I could be with him, than be with you. Don't talk about people if you don't know them, I've told you several times." She retorted forcefully and angrily, making her mood worse.
This surprised the boy, who was reprimanded and tried to speak again, but his friends silenced him as he received various stares from the girls present.
This made Xu Nian's closest friend sigh.
"*Sigh* Nian, we understand that you want to meet him, but you're not thinking of becoming infatuated with him? He's the Heir of the Northwest! We can't even tie his shoes, the status he has now seems to be as high as those Legendary Mighty Divine Sons, how could we be on par with him?" She said, and Xu Nian felt more discouraged by this.
Of course, she understood that she had fallen in love wrong.
Who would think of falling in love with someone who is millions of miles away, even when they seem to be 'close'? But it's not her fault either.
For her, it was love at first sight.
She wanted him from the first moment because she felt his eyes eclipsed her.
Just as she was planning to answer her friend, a voice came from behind them.
"I what?" Tang Yin asked hesitantly as he watched this from the top of a tree.
They were startled and turned around.
They were scared to death, so much so that they jumped back several feet in panic.
"You... You... You... You... You're... You're Tang Yin!" shouted several of the girls in shock, unable to believe they were standing before this person who was now a legendary figure within the sect.
Xu Nian was so shocked that she stared at him and couldn't even react.
Tang Yin smiled at seeing them like this and got down from the tree where he was resting and arrived in front of them.
He had heard about what they were talking about, so he stood in front of Xu Nian.
'I've seen her before...' He thought.
"You're... Xu Nian, you were among the top 16 teams during those little battles... Hm, but haven't I seen you before?" He asked doubtfully as he looked at her.
Xu Nian felt her legs go weak as soon as she saw his eyes, and when she heard that he seemed to recognize her, she trembled for a moment.
The person she fell in love with, did he recognize her? She thought in shock. She could not believe it.
Therefore, she didn't even know how to react or what to say.
"Uh, I... Uh..." She said, and her tongue got tangled, so she bit it a little out of nervousness.
She quickly lowered her gaze in embarrassment.
This made Tang Yin smile.
'What does she think I am, some kind of divine being or something?' He thought, but the look on this girl's face reminded him of who she was.
It was a look he remembered, for it was the first time he had felt it in a long time.
It was a look of extreme desire, but one that didn't seem to be sexual desire.
That time, when he showed his face to the public for the first time and when he was talking to Bai Lixue, he felt and noticed that a woman was looking at him intensely as if she wanted to eat him.
At first, this struck him as odd, but it was a look he felt on a few occasions in his past life, so he couldn't quite ignore it.
And now that he saw her, she gave him that look again. But she did it unconsciously, for if it were not so, she would have spoken.
It was a strange look of extreme desire to have him, but it didn't seem to be sexual desire. The times he met women who had a look of sexual desire about him, they knew how to talk very well and did not get nervous like that.
So, he found it curious. What kind of desire does she have inside? And why can she look like that, unconsciously?
