Chapter 26 – Waterfall of Connecting Pearls Zither’s Power (IV)

“Head south, Yin Zhu.” Anya pointed off in a direction. Ye Yin Zhu’s back wasn’t very broad, but Anya felt very comfortable while lying on it. She could sense the differences in Ye Yin Zhu even clearer. When all was said and done, she didn’t resemble Ye Yin Zhu in ignorance. She hadn’t cultivate a Pure Zither Heart and was thus incapable of understanding the relations between a male and female. This was the first time her body had touched a man’s since she was born.
Anya’s charming face displayed a trace of a helpless smile. In her heart, she would always look at Ye Yin Zhu as a younger brother. This was because he was the only human male she didn’t feel disgust for. His purity and innocence was like the heart of a newborn1. Along with his simplicity, his pleasant zither playing held Anya’s admirations.
“Yin Zhu, you don’t need to rush. You just used up a lot of your magic. Walk slowly and listen to your Elder Sister’s story, okay?” Anya leaned down onto Ye Yin Zhu’s shoulder. Perhaps it was because she hadn’t been this weak in so many years that her gaze was currently a bit blurred.
“Elder Sister Anya, shouldn’t you be resting?” Having her whole body touch his back didn’t arise any wicked ideas within Ye Yin Zhu. He merely thought that Anya was in great need of his protection.
“Yin Zhu, do you know of the elves?” Anya asked.
Ye Yin Zhu nodded and said, “Grandfather once told me, ‘Elves are a n.o.ble race. They love peace, stand aloof from worldly affairs, and most of all, hate war. They live only in Origin Forest as children of nature.’ I have never seen an elf.”
Anya lightly pulled on her long hair, exposing two pointed ears. Although Ye Yin Zhu couldn’t see, Anya had, by now, become completely immersed within her past.
“Four hundred years ago, in the vast Elven Forest, a pair of twin sisters were born. They were the Elf Queen’s daughters and the pride of the entire Elven Race. Their outstanding talents had them surpa.s.sing their peers in strength within a very short period of time. They lived a happy life in the lush Origin Forest. The twin sisters were very kind-hearted. Every day, they would communicate with the elements of nature. Every elven clansmen believed that the two of them would lead the Elven Race into a smooth and steady future, their peace continuing eternally.”
Anya paused, her voice br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a gentle beauty.
“Elves and humans are different. Elves have a lifespan 10 times that of humans. An ordinary person can live for approximately 80 years. Even if they are powerful experts, they can only live up to 150 years with difficulty. An elf can live up to 800 years. These twins, as descendants of Elven Royalty, possessed a long lifespan of 1500 years. That year, they were already 200 years old. Among the elves, 200 years old was like 15 years to humans; they had just become adults. The twin sisters had begun to grow weary of the peaceful life in the Elven Forest. Thereupon, they rebelled against their mother repeatedly, secretly leaving the vast forest. They entered the human world.”
“Was the Elven Forest bad? Why did they leave?” Ye Yin Zhu asked curiously.
“Actually, no one found this strange. Even in the beautiful Elven Forest, if one has lived there for 200 years, then anyone would begin to feel weary. They entered the human country and immediately became attracted to the bustling human world. They were surrounded everywhere by things they have never seen before. For a moment, the sisters had gradually lost themselves in this new world. They didn’t forget to conceal their ident.i.ty as elves though.
