The Holy Maiden Arrives (1)

What kind of energy would be needed to bring the entire Holy City to this state, and what is its purpose?

Perhaps no one would have thought that the reason for this was a single sentence uttered by a young man in the arena— Ye Lang's earlier words to Ye Lanyu: he wanted to slow down.

Since Ye Lang said to slow down, and it wasn't breaking the rules too much, the people of the Holy City would comply with his request. This was something almost everyone in the Holy City knew, though outsiders wouldn't.

However, they also had some reservations about this!

"Young Master, if you want to eat, go somewhere else. Are you trying to tempt us by eating in front of us?"

Some people had already decided that if Ye Lang continued, they would step forward. Of course, they weren't there for the food, but to remind Ye Lang that it wasn't good to occupy the space like that.

Yes, I would never do it for the food; at most, I would just take a little to taste.

As for the Holy City's attitude, even if the others present racked their brains, they would never have thought of this. How could they believe that Ye Lang had such a status in the Holy Church? That was impossible.

The collapse of the houses caused by the Alchemy Array had initially highlighted Ye Lang's status. However, subsequent events overshadowed this Alchemy Array incident, and no one discussed Ye Lang anymore; the main topic of discussion was the Alchemy Array itself.

That's why the people present didn't understand Ye Lang's status and position there!

And so, a very strange situation arose at the scene. Almost everyone was watching Ye Lang eat and watching Zhen Xiaoyan make food for Ye Lang. At this time, Ye Lanyu also sat down and joined in eating.

The Seventh Princess stood to the side, shaking her head. She wanted to remind Ye Lang, but seeing how happily Ye Lang was eating, she couldn't bear to interrupt him and let him continue!

Time passed slowly, and just when this situation reached its limit and someone was about to break it, something happened that made everyone temporarily forget about it!

"Huh?"

As Ye Lang was eating, he suddenly looked up and gazed at the sky in one direction...

"What's wrong?" Ye Lanyu and the other two girls asked at the same time, looking curiously in the direction Ye Lang was looking. They couldn't see anything but the blue sky.

The others present could also sense that Ye Lang and the other three were looking at something different, and they all subconsciously looked in the direction Ye Lang was looking, but they couldn't see anything either.

"Someone's coming!" Ye Lang continued to suck the food he was chewing into his mouth.

"Someone's coming?" Ye Lanyu said, puzzled. The other two girls understood Ye Lanyu's confusion, as they were also wondering the same thing.

Even if someone is coming, they shouldn't come from the air. What are you looking up there for?

Within this Holy City, who dares to recklessly use magic to fly? Furthermore, the arena is protected by Defense Array; entry is only possible through the entrance unless you force your way in.

However, this possibility is extremely low. Those who can enter the Holy City are all verified, and people throughout the Holy City can freely enter and leave without any restrictions!

Therefore, no one would forgo the convenient door and insist on forcing their way in from above!

However, this only refers to general circumstances and ordinary people. In special circumstances or with special individuals, the situation may be different!

This time, there were no special circumstances, but the people who came were special people!

Just as everyone was about to look away, just as everyone thought nothing had happened, a golden light appeared in the sky—a light that seemed sacred!

"?!"

What's this?

The members of the Holy Church stood up and looked at the holy light. This was their respect for the holy light and their custom. Others either stood up or remained seated.

"This light..." Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess exchanged glances, and they both read the answer they were looking for in each other's eyes.

They recognized the light as one they had seen before, and combined with Ye Lang's sensitivity to this aura, they could deduce the situation and who Ye Lang meant by someone coming!

They already had their answers, and in their hearts, there was a little bit of jealousy—jealousy that Ye Lang had such a sensitive feeling about the newcomer, and that there was such an inexplicable connection between them.

Soon after the light appeared, a holy maiden came into view. She floated in the air, radiating a holy light that inspired a desire to worship her.

The members of the Holy Church had already knelt down on one knee almost as soon as the girl appeared, looking devout.

Hey, even if this girl has that sacred aura, you don't have to be like this! She's not your goddess!

At this moment, the students and audience members thought disdainfully that they were all rebellious teenagers, and even goddesses wouldn't necessarily kneel down to them, let alone a girl like this!

They quickly understood why the Holy Church had acted this way. It wasn't just because the girl exuded a holy aura; the most important reason was her identity!

"Your Holy Maiden!!!"

The members of the Holy Church chanted excitedly. They hadn't seen the Holy Maiden for over twenty years, so how could they not be excited? And now they were certain that the previous rumor was true— the Holy Maiden had indeed awakened!

The Holy Church has not officially announced the resurrection of the Holy Maiden, as it only happened yesterday. It is believed that there will be some action today. However, rumors often spread much faster than official announcements, so the people of the Holy City have already received the news, and even well-informed people within the Holy Church have received the news.

When they saw their Holy Maiden again after more than twenty years, they felt that Holy Maiden had become even closer to the realm of a goddess, and the holy aura emanating from her was even more intense.

Holy Maiden?!

Is this the legendary Holy Maiden of Light? She truly lives up to the legend—so beautiful, like a goddess!

In the minds of those students, what they valued most was the Holy Maiden's unparalleled beauty; as for her sacredness, they regarded it lightly, or even completely ignored it!

At this moment, many people were puzzled as to why the Holy Maiden had suddenly appeared here. They had heard the legends about the Holy Maiden and knew that Holy Maiden wouldn't easily appear before others, especially not in such a public setting!

In today's parlance, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!! Seeing the Holy Maiden today is truly lucky; such an opportunity might only come once in a lifetime!!
