Chapter 539: Chapter 539: The Turquoise Pool Fairy Realm, Just as Ordinary

The sound of the qin and se instruments was clear and pleasant to the ear.

In between, there were also noises from other musical instruments like chime bells.

Though he had never heard such music before,

it surprisingly jolted one’s spirit.

It felt as if he had instantly traveled back a thousand years.

"How could there be someone playing music in such a place?"

Zhao Jiaqi clung to Lin Fan in fear.

This made her think of certain ghostly legends that shouldn’t exist.

"Could it be a naturally formed tenth Ghost Market?"

Ni Chang’s idea was somewhat exotic.

Perhaps in this world, there are some absolutely independent existences.

"With a strange python and mutated piranhas at the entrance, this place is likely not so simple, and if there really are people, they’re probably not ordinary humans as we understand them."

Lin Fan propped himself up and stood.

Anyone capable of living here would definitely not be ordinary.

"If not ordinary people, are they deities then?"

Zhao Jiaqi looked at Lin Fan somewhat panicked.

He was now the backbone for the two of them.

"At least I’m not a deity, standing at the door, I can’t see through what’s inside either. If you want to know, then let’s go in."

Lin Fan smiled faintly and walked towards the walls of the city that shimmered with gold light.

What lay inside could only be discovered by entering.

"Isn’t it rash to just barge in?"

Though Zhao Jiaqi said this, she still followed him.

Ni Chang naturally followed behind as well.

"Good or not, we’ll decide once we’re inside. It’s better than standing here foolishly. Perhaps there will even be a luxurious bed and warm pillow, so you two won’t have to fumble around aimlessly."

The mischievous smile on Lin Fan made Zhao Jiaqi’s teeth itch with irritation.

"Missy here touches you because I think highly of you. Don’t be ungrateful. I wouldn’t touch anyone else."

"Then perhaps you should not think so highly of me. Otherwise, I don’t mind touching you back."

"Have you touched too little?"

Their bantering made Ni Chang occasionally giggle on the side.

After shedding her veneer as the Holy Maiden, her personality was actually quite bright.

While they talked, the three had already entered the ancient city.

Looking around, the entire city was elaborately carved and painted, resembling a heavenly palace.

All the buildings were antique looking yet were made entirely of gold.

Whether it was the tiles overhead or the blue bricks on the ground.

Even the towering trees were made of pure gold.

That kind of dazzling golden brilliance made it somewhat difficult to keep one’s eyes open.

The splendor and grandeur could probably match that of Turquoise Pool.

And yet, the sound of the qin and se still echoed, but their sources were untraceable.

Zhao Jiaqi then pushed open a door.

In the restaurant inside, even all décor was made of gold.

She picked up a bowl and chopsticks from the table in astonishment.

"Damn, even the bowls and chopsticks are made of gold."

"Even the tables and stools are all gold. There’s not a single piece of wood to be found."

Ni Chang surveyed the room once more.

All items were made of gold.

It made her somewhat weary of the aesthetics.

"Haven’t you noticed something? Other than there being no people, there’s also no food at all."

Lin Fan looked around.

All the shops were exactly the same.

But they were all empty, devoid of any food.

"Could it be that everything here has decayed, leaving only these golden items?"

Zhao Jiaqi also realized the issue at hand.

Why is everything here made of gold?

Hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head.

"I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Don’t you find this place a bit strange? I can understand pillows made of gold, but bedding made of gold is beyond me. How can one even cover oneself with that?"

"So what exactly is going on?"

Zhao Jiaqi turned her head, looking at Ni Chang.

She had just mentioned the name, so she should know more, right?

"Don’t look at me, I don’t know either. The ancient books only have this much to say."

Ni Chang could only helplessly shake her head.

Besides the name, she knew nothing else.

"Although I don’t know why it’s like this, this place is probably not safe, so it’s better not to split up. We should search room by room; maybe we’ll find something."

This bizarre situation made Lin Fan extra cautious.

Splitting up now would pose a huge safety risk.

So, it’s better for the three of them to stay together.

"I think so too. No matter what it is, there should be some traces."

Zhao Jiaqi nodded.

Staying by Lin Fan’s side made her feel more grounded.

Ni Chang didn’t have the habit of playing the hero either.

The three of them had no choice but to conduct a thorough search.

"Oh my, this is seriously bizarre. Why is there nothing at all?"

It was unclear how long they had been searching.

All three of them sat down on the ground, exhausted.

After searching a large part of the city, they found nothing at all.

Tired and hungry, they could only share some compressed biscuits to stave off hunger.

"You two rest for a while; I’ll go out again and take another look. Maybe I’ll find something."

After eating a few bites, Lin Fan stood up and walked out.

Watching his retreating figure, Ni Chang suddenly seemed a bit lost.

Zhao Jiaqi couldn’t help but frown.

"Hey, can you not act like a longing rock statue? Remember, you’re a holy woman and can’t indulge in personal feelings. This guy is a fickle lover, and you must definitely not fall for him. Otherwise, you’re truly doomed."

If a holy woman loses her chastity, it could mean great disaster.

Zhao Jiaqi couldn’t just watch Ni Chang walking into a dead end.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Ni Chang turned her head to look at Zhao Jiaqi: "Be honest with me, do you like him a lot?"

"Like hell! I have no feelings for a greedy, lustful man, and I’m not a naive sweet girl like you, who gets dizzy from his sweet nothings. My relationship with him is nothing but an act; don’t take it seriously."

Zhao Jiaqi pursed her lips.

No matter what, she would never admit to having feelings for this scoundrel.

"If... the two of you eventually get together... take care of him for me."

Ignoring Zhao Jiaqi’s words,

Ni Chang bowed her head, her tone suddenly serious.

"Stop being silly, please. I told you it’s not possible. Besides, who knows about the future? Maybe one day, you really won’t need to be a holy woman anymore. Then I’ll tie him up and throw him on your bed,"

Zhao Jiaqi studied Ni Chang’s expression.

She suddenly felt a bit heartbroken.

A person who must never fall in love has fallen in love.

That might be the worst thing in the world.

"Enough, being a holy woman is a lifelong duty. Unless I close my eyes for good, I will never get involved with a man. That’s why I say, take care of him for me. If there really is a next life, I will definitely fight you for him."

Having gone through several life-and-death experiences, Ni Chang was tired of hiding her feelings.

Her fondness for Lin Fan had surpassed everything.

Even if they couldn’t become husband and wife, it wouldn’t stop her love.

But sadly, this love would remain buried in her heart forever.

"Hey, look what I’ve found!"

Just then, Lin Fan’s excited voice came from outside.

He seemed to have a new discovery.
