Chapter 238 - Gui Ling

Showering under rays of the sun and being blown by a breeze, bright-red flowers were flying over together with the wind from an unknown blooming tree.

After many, many years, Ji Hao would still remember this scene.

This was a turning point for Ji Hao. From this point on, he officially started his life in Pu Ban City, within this magical yet primitive Midland world. In other words, he had been pushed or half willingly entered into a huge, tremendous, and gigantic swirl that was crazy enough to turn the sky over.

The one who had just uttered those words was a girl, wearing a long white dress and a black, sleeveless leather coat upon it. Although she seemed to be only a young girl, she was pretty tall, even much taller than Ying Yunpeng, who was sitting beside Ji Hao. Her hair was hanging loosely on her back, a golden hair clasp wrapped around her forehead, and a black and brightly shining pearl was inlaid in the middle of the hair clasp.

This girl was quite beautiful, yet she had a pair of straight, sharp and dense eyebrows, which seemed like two heavy and sharp machetes, hacking towards her own temples. Her two phoenix-like eyes were naturally majestically. Every time she turned her eyes towards certain angles, it felt as if roaring tsunamis were swooshing over. A simple eye-contact with her was capable of making you feel as if a great pressure had been laid onto your chest, causing you to become breathless.

Ji Hao and Ying Yunpeng looked simultaneously at that girl, followed by her voice.

After that, the two of them, both seemed to have been punched hard by an invisible fist, suddenly leaning backwards. At the same time, they lost their eyesights and countless stars were flying in front of their eyes, sparkling in the pure darkness.

The eyes of Ying Yunpeng popped out in shock. If it hadn’t been for the warning of Xie Zhi just now, he would have screamed out even with the great amount of power he had. What the heck had just happened? As a respectful chief elder that had been sent to Pu Ban City by the great Ten Sun Country, and a great powerful Magus King, he had been unable to maintain eye-contact with a woman?!

As for Ji Hao, he was staring at this girl, even more astonished than Ying Yunpeng.

He quickly swept his eyes across her long dress, leather coat, the black silk belt wrapped around her waist, and the soft-bottom shoes she was wearing.

Especially the black jade Ru Yi [1] held in her left hand, which was a feet long, leaning against her shoulder, and in her right hand she was holding a long horsetail whisk that had a lotus carved in the handle and was made from the beard of a Flood Dragon. This dress style was quite special and weird in this primitive era.

Besides, she was releasing a magical sense of power, which was not violent and fierce at all. Instead, her power felt gentle yet great, natural and pure, as if her power could completely merge with the nature. In other word, her power was the same as the power of the natural law and could simply be called the power of Dao.

Ji Hao stood up, looked seriously at this girl, politely made a bow with hands folded in front, and said in a deep voice, “My dear friend, I, Ji Hao, am lucky to meet you here.”

The girl, who had been maintaining a straight face all this time, started smiling instantly. Her smile felt like snow had melted and countless flowers started to bloom on the soil that had been frozen for thousands of years. A feeling of warmth and friendliness immediately blew across the face of Ji Hao, after which she said, “I know you are a friend. You know our big brother, you have an object that has been made by him on you.”

“Brother Po,” said Ji Hao, grinning as well while looking at the girl.

“Ah, brother Po.” The girl glanced at Ji Hao with a slightly weird expression, then raised her head and looked at the sky. It seemed as if she was at loss regarding what to say for a moment, but not long after, she slowly let out a long breath and continued with a faint trace of bitter smile on her smile, “I was right, you’re one of us. Do you know where he is now?”

“The Southern Wasteland, he was going to travel across the Zhu Rong Country. I assume he is still in the deepest area of the Southern Wasteland, but I don’t know his exact location.” Ji Hao kept his honest grin and asked, “Can I ask your name?”

“No need to mention the humble name, you can just call me Gui Ling,” said the girl while looking at Ji Hao with a honest face. “I was a Black Turtle living in the Eastern Ocean, luckily I met my dear tutor, who helped me cultivate myself to gain a human body.”

Ying Yunpeng abruptly sneered aside and said, “Well, you’re nothing but a spirit animal, in the Pu Ban City, your kind can only pull the vehicles or clean the toilets, after all, you’re all of a lowly kind.”

Ying Yunpeng had seen Ji Hao and Gui Ling chatting quite pleasurably. It seemed the two of them were old friends; apart from that, this Gui Ling was mysterious and powerful to such degree that even Ying Yunpeng couldn’t tell exactly how powerful she was. Therefore, he decided to insult Gui Ling with his speech. After all, the friends of enemies were all enemies as well, Ying Yunpeng clearly understood that.

“Ignorant kid! You asked for this,” Gui Ling growled harshly yet deeply, while flicking her left hand swiftly and sending out the black jade Ru Yi directly towards Ying Yunpeng’s head.

Ji Hao instantly yelled out in shock, “No! Here is…”
