The palace adorned with carved beams and painted rafters radiated endless majesty.
Walking on a road paved with blue stones, three figures proceeded forward.
Gazing at the lush green grass in front of the palace and the scene of flowers vying for beauty.
And the fish frolicking in the pond.
This simply was sothing gold could not compare to.
"The City Lord is inside, please go ahead,"
The two at the palace entrance halted their steps.
And respectfully stood aside.
Lin Fan stepped on the white marble stairs and ascended to the hall.
At that mont, the massive vermilion doors, four to five ters high, slowly opened.
A fragrant breeze rushed out first.
"This palace, truly luxurious!"
Lin Fan stepped over the threshold, as high as a knee, and entered the palace.
The palace, with its carved beams and painted rafters, was supported by twelve golden pillars.
Inside the vast space, there weren’t many furnishings.
Making it appear all the more spacious.
He walked along the red carpet towards the interior.
Under a giant golden phoenix, there was a throne-like lounging chair.
At that mont, a woman, clad in red silk, was half-sitting, half-reclining on it.
The skin that showed was as white as mutton fat.
Her slender and elongated body looked very enchanting from afar.
Lin Fan, with his remarkable eyesight, managed to discern the woman’s features clearly from over twenty ters away.
Her face, veiled thinly, owned a pair of captivating sultry eyes.
Beneath her prominent nose, her slightly visible red lips, plump to the right degree.
Bare shoulders exuding an unspeakable allure.
Her dainty jade-like hands clutching grapes added a provocative touch.
This woman’s beauty was almost beyond the description of words.
Just one glance was enough to make her unforgettable for a lifeti.
Even Lin Fan, who had seen many beauties, couldn’t help but exclaim.
How did God manage to blend innocence, charm, and glamour into one person?
Essentially, she embodied every standard of an ideal lover that n dream of.
"Honored guest, please be seated,"
Seeing the three approaching, the enchanting City Lord slowly straightened up.
Beneath the throne, three small tables had been prepared.
Which were piled high with various fruits.
"Who would have thought, the City Lord is so stunning, could this be the legendary beauty of Loulan?"
Lin Fan didn’t hold back.
He directly walked to the first table and sat down.
Zhao Jiaqi and Ni Chang took their places beside him.
Though they didn’t speak, their faces clearly showed,
that they too were completely captivated by the City Lord’s heavenly beauty.
"You have quite the eye, my mother was a woman from Loulan, and I greatly resemble her,"
The enchanting City Lord said, smiling as she lifted a bronze cup.
"I must first apologize for my rude subordinates. Perhaps ng Loulan has not seen outsiders for too long, and they were rely overexcited, committing such absurd actions. Thus, I drink this cup as self-punishnt,"
After speaking, she concealed her mouth with her sleeve and downed the drink in one go.
Then, she displayed the empty wine cup to the three.
"With the City Lord’s grace, these small matters are already insignificant."
Lin Fan also laughed and lifted his cup, drinking it all in one gulp.
"Though it may be a trifle to you, for ng Loulan, it is a significant matter. Allow to introduce myself; my na is ng Die, and I am the City Lord of ng Loulan,"
ng Die stood up, smiling.
Displaying her elegant and luxurious deanor to the fullest.
Especially her fair skin beneath the red veil, shimring as she moved.
Her jet-black hair seed to casually drape over her fragrant shoulders.
Yet, it carried an enchanting allure.
Before she even arrived, a fragrant breeze had already enveloped the senses.
As she approached directly, Lin Fan felt as if his heart was being squeezed.
This woman, she truly was a natural beauty.
"Then I must thank Mr. ng for his generous hospitality,"
Lin Fan tried hard to avoid her seductive gaze.
Picking up his cup, he drank it down in one gulp.
"It’s been a long ti since ng Loulan had any outsiders visit. I’ve waited for a thousand years for today, just to et the legendary hero,"
ng Die stepped forward in front of Lin Fan.
With a graceful motion, she took a seat directly across from him.
Leaning sideways, she displayed her jade-like legs to the trio.
The sight of her seductive pose made both Zhao Jiaqi and Ni Chang feel a surge of heat within.
"Waited a thousand years? The legendary hero? I’m not quite sure I understand what you an, Alliance Hierarch,"
Lin Fan gazed directly into ng Die’s eyes.
Those eyes, like rippling azure waters, were endlessly gentle.
"Have you never seen Golden City?"
ng Die smiled sweetly, her hand supporting her cheek, her tone gentle.
Her breath fragrant like orchids, she had an air of bewitching allure.
Zhao Jiaqi couldn’t help but interject.
"Isn’t Golden City just ng Loulan?"
"People only know the appeal of Gold but not the spring-like beauty of Loulan. The so-called Golden Splendor is nothing but a curse over ng Loulan’s head. When gold fills the ground, that will be the day Loulan turns deadly. Everyone in the city will turn into what seems like priceless gold, living without awareness or feeling,"
ng Die sighed deeply.
A beauty sighing was a sight to behold.
"Turned into gold!"
Lin Fan furrowed his brows as he looked at ng Die.
Only then did she begin to recount the origin of Golden City.
ng Loulan, like today, was once a bustling city too.
After ng Die took over as the city lord, she accidentally angered Huanji.
So, she cursed the entire ng Loulan not only to sink underground, never to see daylight,
but also to turn into gold when the crystals above lit up.
And with a powerful curse, she sealed all the passages leading outward from ng Loulan.
Just like that, ng Loulan beca known as Golden City.
Only when the crystals dimd, would the city return to its original state.
Yet, all the residents of the city remained unaware of this secret.
Every ti they turned into gold, they would stiffly pass those days.
"If calculated, ng Loulan only attains its normal state for five days a year. Once the crystals regain their energy, it turns into gold again. So even after more than a thousand years, to ng Loulan, it has been but a year,"
ng Die’s recounting made the trio gasp in astonishnt.
No one could have guessed that this ancient city existed thousands of years ago.
"So what is the legendary hero?"
Zhao Jiaqi’s curiosity peaked.
Upon hearing this, ng Die still smiled sweetly,
but her enchanting eyes were fixated on Lin Fan.
"Because the curse once said that in the future, a hero would arrive in ng Loulan, bringing new light and helping us break the Dragon Bone curse!"
ng Die leaned forward slightly.
Below her loose neckline, a hint of allure sparkled.
"Dragon Bone!"
Upon hearing these two words, all three widened their eyes in shock.
Indeed, there was indeed sothing called the Dragon Bone here.
"So, my hero, can you help break the curse?"
ng Die looked at Lin Fan with longing eyes.
"If you’re willing, I can offer anything in return, even making you the new king of ng Loulan, reigning over everything here including myself!"
