Empress Ruthless

After a while, when Qianye looked at everyone again, Li Xiaoman, Lin Jia, Liu Yunzhi, Wang Ziwen, Wang Yan, Li Changqing, Zhang Wenchang, Zhou Yi, Kaide and others had turned into old grandfathers and old women. (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> 69 <-.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)

Zhang Ziling transformed into the appearance of an uncle. This was because he ate the red fruit, which prevented him from being affected by the power of the rules here and from turning into an old man.

Of course, he was still affected to some extent; Zhang Ziling had gone from his twenties to his forties.

Qian Ye looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo again. At this moment, they were the opposite of everyone else. Not only had they not turned into old men, but they had turned into children around eight years old.

"It seems the red berries have a rejuvenating effect; the two of them ate the most, and they instantly transformed from twenty-five-year-old youths into children."

Looking at Liu Yiyi, who had also eaten the red fruit, she neither aged nor grew younger; she remained the same as before, making her, apart from herself, the most normal person to maintain her original appearance.

When everyone woke up again, Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, Wang Yan, Liu Yunzhi, Zhou Yi, and the others were all crying their eyes out.

It's completely unacceptable to me that I've gone from being a young person to a seventy or eighty-year-old grandpa or grandma all of a sudden.

Especially for stunning beauties like Lin Jia and Li Xiaoman, this fact is even more difficult to accept.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, now reverted to their childhood selves, were quite happy. Although they felt a bit ridiculous, having returned to their childhood selves from youth, they were much luckier than Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and the others, and naturally enjoyed themselves.

Although Zhang Ziling has turned into an uncle, he is already very satisfied compared to the elderly people like Zhou Yi, Li Xiaoman, and Liu Yunzhi.

As for Liu Yiyi, she was still the same as before, which made me even happier. She hadn't changed at all, making her one of the luckiest people among my classmates.

Then, everyone realized that Qian Ye was no longer among them and they didn't know where he had gone.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zhang Ziling, Liu Yiyi, and the others searched for a while but still couldn't find it, so they gave up looking for it.

I also think that a cultivator like Qian Ye should be fine.

He'll probably be back on his own in a bit.

But they didn't know that this parting would be forever, and Qian Ye would never return.

Just as they awoke, Qian Ye quietly left, and it was time for them to part ways and go to another place.

Here stands a palace, as beautiful as a celestial palace.

Very mysterious.

Behind the palace, steam was rising from the bath.

A woman was seen soaking in the middle of the pool. [6][9][s][h][u][x][.][c][o][m]

Suddenly, the space here distorted, and a person appeared.

A handsome man with delicate features, striking eyebrows, and captivating good looks.

He stood by the pool, watching the people bathing in it.

He thought to himself, "This woman must be the Empress Ruthless from 'Shrouding the Heavens '?"

Suddenly, the woman lying in the pool slowly opened her eyes, then vanished in a flash.

When she reappeared, she was already behind the handsome man.

She was already wearing a long, moon-white dress.

"Who are you? How dare you peek at Empress bathing? Are you tired of living?"

The woman's Bingbing voice immediately reached the handsome man's ears.

The handsome man didn't laugh. Instead, he turned around, glanced at the woman behind him, and sized her up.

A bronze mask appeared on her face, seemingly Life, covering it with a smile that was neither a smile nor a cry, neither a speech nor a dream, giving off an incredibly mysterious aura.

Immediately afterwards, the bronze mask transformed into a bronze ring, which she wore on her finger, shimmering with a luminous light and appearing to be no ordinary object.

A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, causing it to sway lightly and shimmer like starlight. Her moon-white dress further accentuated her graceful and ethereal beauty.

Her skin was fair and radiant, as if it had been carved from mutton fat jade.

Above that snow-white neck was a face of unparalleled beauty, a face that could rival any other in the world.

Those clear, autumn-water-like eyes were breathtakingly beautiful.

Above her head hung an extraordinary object, resembling a treasure vase, giving the impression that it contained some kind of supernatural power.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, her slender figure and unparalleled beauty made her seem like a fairy from a mythical world, otherworldly and ethereal, a celestial being unlike any other in the world.

Qian Ye thought to himself, "The Empress Ruthless is indeed the Empress Ruthless; he is truly extraordinary."

"I asked you who you are? Didn't you hear me?"

Qian Ye: "..."

"Why are you wearing a mask? Are you afraid to see people?" the Empress Ruthless pressed.

"..." Qian Ye just stared at her like that, without taking off the Dragon King Mask from his face.

Because Qian Ye wanted to give him a surprise.

"How about this? Before I take off my mask, I'd like to tell you a story first."

"What story?" the Empress Ruthless asked in a cold tone.

Her ethereal and peerless beauty seemed untouched by worldly concerns.

Qian Ye looked into her eyes and said, "Once upon a time, there was a little girl with pigtails. Her face was dirty, but her big eyes were as pure as black gemstones, making her very pitiful. Her clothes were patched and tattered, and even her shoes had holes in the toes. People who saw her scolded her, and she could only lower her head and back away timidly, her big eyes filled with tears. She left alone, feeling wronged. Her small figure was very pitiful and lonely. At that time, the little girl was not yet a beggar, but she was a helpless orphan."

The little girl's parents died in a disaster, and her village was Destruction in the same disaster, leaving her a helpless orphan.

"At that time, the little girl was only three or four years old. She didn't understand anything, she only knew that she was hungry, so she wandered around looking for food."

One day, the little girl was so hungry that all she wanted to do was close her eyes and sleep. She was too hungry to find food, and she had no choice but to stay still.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a voice woke her. She struggled to open her eyes and saw a young man before her, who appeared to be in his teens. He was handsome, but his clothes were filthy, patched, and his shoes had several holes in them.

The boy was overjoyed to see the little girl awake. He immediately held out his hand, which contained half a cake, and told the little girl to eat it so she would have strength again.

The little girl was starving and didn't care about anything else. She grabbed half a pancake from the boy's big hand with her small hands and wolfed it down, not caring whether the black fingerprints on it were clean or not.

Seeing the little girl eating, the boy gently told her to eat slowly and gave her his water pouch so she could drink some water first.
