(The eldest princess of the Jin Ling tribe, Jin Wanxin.
She was one of the most unforgettable women of my life. If I hadn't known her, I don't think I would have had the chance to know that Kellen's father had an unbreakable love affair with Princess Wanxin in his early years.
And Jiuling... Nine Spirits turned out to be the token of their secret engagement.
Because of the appearance of Princess Wanxin, Kellen, Jiuling, and even Kellen's biological father and mother gradually appeared in my life and lifted the veil of their identities one by one.
This gave me a clearer understanding of all the mysteries about Kellen's background.

※——※——※
A quarter of an hour ago.
The strange, powerful spiral sword formation, with faint celestial thunder, locked Kellen in the formation tighter and tighter. Even though she was protected by spiritual magic, Kellen still heard her bones cracking and aching. It was clearly felt that the ten thousand Qi swords, unstoppable, had broken through the shield of her spiritual sword array and faintly pierced into her entire body.
Kellen, who still had consciousness, immediately became aware of the threat of death. He was already quite certain that the swordsmanship that Jinwu had cast this time was not an ordinary spiritual technique, but was driven by the power of the supreme Heavenly Dao! With the sharpness of the qi sword, it gradually went deep into his body. All the internal organs are scorched and the viscera are torn apart. In the next moment, without a thought, a thousand arrows pierced through the heart, a corpse in the sky. Kellen knew exactly how tragic the death was. All flesh and blood will blur in an instant, not even a single granulocyte will be left.
This is the power of the way of Heaven!
Faintly, looking at the thunderbolt flash at the top of the sky, a thought was in my mind, a white horse passing through the gap. Yes, there is a way to break through this sword formation! Unfortunately, it was too late to comprehend... Consciousness fades away, all is silent, and only one figure is imprinted in the mind. That was Elara, yes, it was Elara... If it were Elara, it would have realized it earlier than it did... Hehe... It's a pity it's too late...
A pale glow swept through Kellen's consciousness. Kellen's eyes were still wide open, very wide, and he was looking forward to seeing Elara's lovely smile in his last eyes. That smile had been with him for more than ten years without him noticing. Every moment of those ten years, looking back now... On the brink of life and death, with no consciousness at all, what else can be thought of? There is only this familiar face.
A quarter hour later.
The pale light vanished... Kellen had no memory of the quarter of an hour in between, and as he gradually regained his senses, a sweet voice floated in his mind: "Jinlang, I saved you!" Do you know?"
Is it Elara? Kellen asks herself. It must be Elara! Kellen asks and answers herself.
Between life and death, who would take the risk of risking their life to save themselves? Except for Elara, it's the Nine Spirits. At this moment, the voice was sweet and gentle, not Nine Spirits. It must be Elara!
"Jinlang, it was I who saved you! Do you know?" The sound was still ringing in Kellen's ears, and he looked closely, the sweet timbre clearly did not belong to Elara. (Because Elara's girlish voice was a bit more crisp.)
"Uh..." A feeble moan. Kellen regained consciousness, but felt lost all over her body, her mind gone, her bones cracked and her flesh broken. "Puff!" A big mouthful of crimson blood gushed out from the corner of the mouth. If the five internal organs were strong, the blood would have been spat out long ago. But he was exhausted at the moment. How could he have any strength left? Only the pain made Kellen murmur in a low voice and tremble.
Suddenly, tears of pain streamed down her wide-open eyes, and she felt beads of sweat all over her body. The wind and snow are cruel, limb bones 冽冽. In the cold winter, Kellen trembled. In her eyes, primordial stars and blue stars were dancing, white stars and green stars were interwoven. At this moment, vanishing in an instant, the sound of the wind in the ears, the snowflakes in the eyes. A wild woman with disheveled hair caught Kellen's eyes first. Kellen was really startled, but her heart couldn't beat.
Kellen came back to life! The first question that came to mind was: Who is this person in front of you?
Uh... A bone-chilling pain like falling apart!
Blurred consciousness, blurry eyes. Kellen found the pair of shiny, sparkling pupils hidden behind her jet-black, puffy hair so beautiful. There was a gentle glow in her eyes as if she were asking, "Are you okay?" It was I who saved you. At the same time, there was a tender gaze flowing, like a mother tenderly holding her beloved child. It is also like a pure lover who gently embraces her beloved.
These feelings are very subtle. Kellen felt her face burning hot, and faintly noticed that behind her fluffy hair, her face was like a rosy glow, like peach blossoms and spring breeze, like a summer hibiscus. The face, which had been wild and unrestrained, gradually became clear in Kellen's eyes.
The fear fades away and the closeness grows stronger.
On closer inspection, behind the tousled hair was a stunning beauty. Her sharp chin was as round as jade, and her slightly upturned nose exuded a hint of delicacy. Under the slightly curved willow-leaf eyebrows, the eye sockets are sunken, and the long eyelashes are slightly upturned, setting off a pair of glittering eyes that are affectionate and gentle. The slightly sharpened lines of the face extend smoothly to the chin.
Looking again, the beauty's lips are curved and her smile is gentle and graceful. It's a perfect match, revealing a charming and alluring face that would bewitch the world.
A beauty as charming as the moon, and a beauty as charming as the moon.
For a second look, Kellen couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart. This face was even more beautiful than Elara's. Kellen couldn't help but wonder, if God had given birth to Elara, how could he have such a beauty?
"Let him go!"
Elara gave a clear cry, and the wind and snow in the sky and in the sky stopped. The fluttering snowflakes, in an instant, freeze and float in mid-air, unable to come down or go up. Originally the wind stirs the snowflakes and the clouds drive the wind. Now the wind has stopped, the clouds have ceased, and the snow has stopped.
Everyone was shocked and turned pale. How could the vast expanse of snow cease in an instant, as if frozen in mid-air? A rare sight is often heard of, but a sight of sudden freezing of snow and wind is unheard of!
At this very moment, I actually saw...
How could people know that Elara's primordial spiritual power is not limited to the wind and snow!
At this moment, Elara's thoughts, like the wind and snow, have ceased. Because she saw a strange mad woman, holding her beloved Kellen out of nowhere. This kind of thing is not something Elara can tolerate, nor is it something she can figure out.
How could Elara's ethereal state of mind withstand such ripples?
Elara drew nearer step by step to the woman with disheveled hair and splendid dress. The snowflake petals beside her quietly opened up a path out of thin air, allowing Elara to walk forward. Then the snowflake returned to its original position. It seemed as if it had never moved.
Elara couldn't believe her eyes that a woman had saved Kellen before her? A woman... Why a woman?
The state of mind is like water, with ripples.
Elara has no doubts about Kellen. She has been by her side for over a decade, and no one else has ever appeared around her. Whatever Kellen knew, Elara knew too. However, the appearance of this woman has shaken Elara's state of mind. In her confused mind, a surge of rebellious thoughts was surging.
No one could have anticipated what would happen in the moment of rage. Perhaps, a snowstorm. Perhaps, a snowstorm. Perhaps it's a disaster that even Elara herself couldn't predict and has nothing to do with water. Perhaps, no perhaps...
If there had been no suppression of spiritual cultivation at the beginning, what would the scene be like now? I can't imagine it.
Think of the scene of Elara slaughtering the beast Tianyuan when she was three years old. It's truly suffocating. What's more, Elara at this moment, with "Xuantian Pili Zhenjue" in his heart and two ice crystal long swords in his hand, with such emotions, it's likely to be more intense than the Beast of the Abyss back then!
"Phoenix, is that you?" This question is gentle and crisp, delicate and sweet.
"She is Elara!" Kellen's eyes, filled with tears and pain, glinted. Struggling with all her might to utter such a sentence, it was very difficult.
That hair-haired mad woman, the eldest princess of the Golden Spirit clan. She did not hear Kellen's faint, air-like voice at all, nor did she notice that her lips were quivering slightly. In fact, Kellen was trembling her lips on her breath at the moment and had no extra strength to utter a word. Then came a long groan of "uh --".
The groan, though long, was very low. The disheveled woman and Elara were completely unaware of it. The two women, without realizing it, had shifted their attention away from Kellen and focused on each other.
This seemingly insane woman in golden dress, with a slender, fair hand, gently brushed the strands of black hair on her eyelids and gradually pushed the tousled hair on her face behind her ears. A charming and sweet smile appeared before Elara without any warning. The moment Elara saw the face, "bang bang, bang bang," she heard her own heartbeat, which was about to burst her eardrums. With a sudden burning sensation on her face and a buzzing sound in her head, she was calm in her heart!
Elara stared blankly at the face, lost in thought... All kinds of pretty and beautiful faces, Elara imagined one by one. All the beauties I've seen in my life, one by one, passed by my eyes. Including my own mother, I have never seen such a charming face as pretty and lovely.
The beauty of all beings can be seductive, elegant, gentle or generous. Some have big eyes, some have small lips, some smile like a flower, some have phoenix-like eyebrows and eyes. Some have watery eyes, some have starry pupils, some are delicate, some are charming...
All kinds of beauty flashed before the eyes, but none were alike or matched.
The beauty before Elara's eyes is as pure and elegant as a plain face. There is not a hint of seductive charm, nor is there the aloofness of a fairy descending to earth. No more than the beauty of ordinary people. More beautiful than a flower!
But in the clear, bright eyes of this beauty, there is not the slightest burning gaze, but rather a hint of scattered bewilderment flowing. After a brief eye contact, Elara couldn't help but want to be close to her. Or perhaps she was a sister by her side who had never gone away, so familiar yet so strange.
Elara had no envy, nor jealousy. Instead, she lowered her eyelids slightly, and her heart was once again flattened by the wind. But this time, the snowflakes were still dancing merrily. The wind whistled again, with a mischievous rampage. Dark clouds, quietly covering the sky, night is coming...
Elara thought to herself: So there is a kind of beauty in this world that is so endearing and respectable, plain and simple is better than all kinds of beauty.
Although Elara was proud of her beauty, she was still impressed by the charming woman before her at the moment. Gently biting her lower lip, the two swords were drawn back, her slender fingers clenched tightly in her hand, and a pair of blush crept onto her face. This time it was still a shame, but no longer a coquetty shame, but a shame of being subdued.
At that moment, a strange look appeared in the princess's hazy eyes. She took a close look at Elara and said, "You're not a phoenix!" New man for old man, old love for new love..." These sweet words are very sentimental, melancholy 惋叹.
Then the princess nodded her head to look at Kellen's face and shook her head, "Jinlang is so devoted that even though he is very beautiful, he is not moved. Besides, I have never seen you. Jinlang, do you recognize this girl?"
