Chapter 34: The Legend Of The Desolates
A rainbow that was two metres in length and one metre in breadth was ramrod straight as it stood in the sky, highly textured, resplendent and bright. Like a piece of sparkling and translucent crystal.
Inside there was a young girl of eighteen or nineteen, her complexion was smooth like jade and her figure was slender. She had a slim waist and her straight legs were long and alluring, she wore wore a light blue dress that seemed to naturally float. She exuded an aura of someone that had transcended the confines of the earth.
Everyone was in a daze, this young beautiful girl seemed like a fairy that was untainted by the world, an otherworldly beauty. Like a moving dewdrop on a pure white lotus flower as well as a snow lotus on the peak of a snow white mountain, giving a feeling of one that does not eat the food of common mortals.
The world was not lacking in astonishing beauties but it was difficult to find one that carried an atmosphere of transcendence, as though she had stepped out of the mortal realm and had become one entity with the natural world.
This exquisite and elegant girl was very serene as she gazed at the group. She said a sentence in a moving voice and only after pondering over the sentence for a while did the group finally understand. Her speech was similar to that of an ancient dialect, it carried a soft flavour and required them to carefully analyze before they could understand the meaning of the words.
“We are a group of people who have fallen into dire straits. Are you a fairy? Can you save us?” A female student tearfully said. Her body was dry and wrinkled and she looked like a doddering old woman. Finally seeing someone who looked like a fairy, she immediately cried out for help.
Lin Jia and Li Xiao Man also stepped forward with expressions of hope, they were previously rare beauties and the psychological blow they felt was simply worse than death. Seeing such an elegant beauty made them feel more desperate to regain their past looks.
There was a glow in the air that seemed to have been cut off from a section of the rainbow’s brillance, it coagulated to form a piece of precious jade and sealed the fairy-like girl within.
In reality, the crystal-like rainbow did not congeal and only seemed to have a form. The girl within was not hindered as her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her eyes were moving like water and misty. Her skin was snow white and translucent seeming to radiate an otherworldly glow making her beauty even more astonishing.
“Have you people entered into the Forbidden Ancient Desolate land?”
Another sentence of soft and moving words and the group pondered for a while before understanding the words said in the ancient dialect.
“That’s right, we escaped from that place.” A female classmate that looked weathered helplessly cried as she looked at the sky, desperation written on her face. To a woman, such a tragedy was an immense blow and she was confused thus she did not consider her words carefully.
Upon hearing this, the serene expression on the girl within the rainbow showed ripples as she had an expression of surprise.
“They actually came out of there alive, this is really not simple.” She softly said these words. Her gaze continually swept past Liu Yi Yi, Zhang Zi Ling, Pang Bo and Ye Fan as she seemed to contemplate before an expression of even greater surprise seemed to appear on her features. She hurriedly questioned: “Are these your actual ages?”
“No, we aren’t that old. We have no idea why we lost dozens of years of our youth and vitality.” A male student eagerly responded and hoped nervously while looking at the girl in the sky.
The girl did not bother to look at him as though she had known that they had lost their youth and vitality but she continued to stare at Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
Ye Fan answered: “We were initially in our twenties but have no idea why some people aged while some became younger.”
“For real?” The girl in the air had on an expression of shock as she stared firmly at Ye Fan and Pang Bo and hurriedly questioned further: “Did the two of you eat a red fruit that was glistening with a scarlet red and sparkled like a crystal….”
Ye Fan was sure that the fruit they had eaten was exactly what the young girl had described and under the current circumstances they simply had no way to refute as Zhou Yi and the group were watching. He gently nodded.
The girl in the sky had a weird expression as she looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo, as though she was looking at a priceless treasure and being stared at by such a moving beauty made the two people feel their hair stand and they felt very uncomfortable.
“May I ask if there is a way to save the people who lost their youth and vitality?” Wang Zi Wen could not keep calm under the circumstances and wanted to know if he could regain his youth.
“You don’t need to fall to despair, although it will be difficult to recover your looks, your lost youth has come with several benefits and many people in the outside world will be trying to wrest for you.” Seeing the expressions of confusion on the group, the young girl in the sky continued: “Don’t worry, fighting to obtain you isn’t a bad thing, conversely you can treat it as a an opportunity.”
“I…… only want to regain my past looks.” A female student tearfully said. Becoming old like this she had simply lost her motivation to live.
“Alright, let me first bring you people out of this ancient and desolate forest.” The mysterious young girl waved her hand and a rainbow encompassed the group lifting them into the air to float beside her.
This was certainly a mysterious world, based on the understanding of the group this seemed to be an immortal’s technique.
“This area is a far cry from civilization, if you people wanted to walk out, this would simply be impossible. This primitive forest has many frightening beasts and even if I met some of them I would have no other choice but to bypass them.”
Pang Bo had an expression of curiosity as he asked: “Didn’t you come from that celestial palace up ahead?”
“Celestial palace……” The young girl had a befuddled expression as she said: “What celestial palace?”
Pang Bo pointed at a distant tall mountain and said: “Aren’t there many palace halls over there that seem to extend forever into the distance. An innumerable amount of vast and imposing palaces that has many cranes fluttering about in the skies.”
“The legends are real…..” The young girl had an expression of surprise.
