I Become A Peach Blossom Fairy
Peach Flower Aroma

"Brother, I'm so hungry..."
"Yingying, hang on for a while well, wait, you will definitely find some food!".
"Uwwuu...."
The skinny, weak little girl in the teenage arms complained quietly, she was in pain, exhausted, and hungry. His haggard face was extremely pale, his cheeks were thin, and the color of blood slowly faded from his lip petals.
They are a pair of twin brothers and sisters. They were one of the many refugees living not far from the Qiancheng valley. After a long time following other refugees, they separated and moved themselves in another direction.
Currently they are resting for a while on the edge of the forest to recover energy and look for food.
It's been almost a week over, they haven't eaten anything decent as food. Maybe some time ago they could still eat delicious and fragrant steamed bread, but not anymore.
Every day, to connect their lives and breath they are forced to eat the roots of trees, grass, soil and even to eat the carcasses of animals they meet on the road.
The older brother had a panicked and confused look around him he could only see tall, lush trees, fallen red maple leaves and dry grass.
There was still no one worthy of being made into food by him and his sister.
Yan Chen did not despair, while changing position and putting his sister on his back, he stared in one direction.
That's the direction to enter a forest.
Yang Chen remembered, as he walked through the market he had heard some gossip from one of the tea houses.
Some people are seen telling stories, they tell stories about a valley that is hidden in the fog.
The valley was said to be a place where one could enter, but could not get out. People in the surrounding villages call it a forbidden forest or valley that should not be entered.
People considered the forest and the valley a forbidden place because they believed that there were ferocious monsters guarding it.
It is said that the monster looks cruel like a demonic beast. With a large body, two pointed teeth that adorn the sides of his mouth, blood-red eyes, double horns that stick out above his head, and sharp claws that can destroy humans in one shred. His overall appearance looked extremely terrifying, so strange and irresistible, that it could make even a Cultivator shiver in fear.
There used to be many people who tried to enter the valley to seek some profit, but one by one of those who entered never returned, even if anyone came back it was just a piece of leftover meat and bones.
Yan Chen lowered his head, in silence he thought.
Would I rather go in?. I heard that there are many rare spiritual animals and plants in the forest. Also, it is said that there are some medicinal plant ingredients that if sold will make a lot of money.
If only, he could get one herbal ingredient and sell it, then he and his sister could eat something decent today until the next tomorrow.
A spirit of determination and unyielding suddenly rose in Yan Chen's heart. Like a flame, burning his blood to a boil.
He thought, he has nothing to fear. Because if the forest and the valley were dangerous, shouldn't anyone dare to enter it?. So, why did the person who had dared to enter it at that time?.
Yan Chen recalled, a few days ago when they had just arrived at this place, when he and his sister were following the group of refugees, they met a mysterious white-robed figure.
In his long white robe his figure was not clearly visible, but his temperament was quite high, natural, graceful, and also elegant. Faintly could be seen her white and dazzling skin, and when the wind blew sometimes a few strands of silver pink hair swayed and fell gently on her shoulders.
Yan Chen was sure that the white-robed person was no ordinary person. Or rather he was not an ordinary human like those who were mortal and weak.
But what was clear was that the white-robed person was definitely a good person, because otherwise he would not have left a large bag full of food amidst the crowd of numerous refugees.
The large bag contained several pieces of steamed bread. Yan Chen was lucky to be able to get two parts for him and his sister.
In Yan Chen's memories, that soft, fragrant and delicious steamed bun was probably the first decent meal he and his sister had eaten after evacuating here.
It was all thanks to that person, the mysterious white-robed person.
The last time Yan Chen saw his figure was here, right outside the forest area. Yan Chen saw with his own eyes the white-robed man enter the forest and disappear behind the tree shadow.
His figure, the cellulite of his back, and the fragrant scent of peaches emanating from his body were still clearly imprinted in Yan Chen's recollection, even to this day.
"Then I will enter, if that white-robed person even enters it, it means that the forest is not too dangerous right?".
Shouldn't they?.
Yan Chen did not know, and did not understand, but clearly he should not hesitate. For the sake of her sister and to survive against natural disasters, war, and famine, she must be able to take risks and be brave.
"Yingying, did you hear Brother?".
"Umn... ", Yan Ying painstakingly opened her eyelids. His black, round and large eyes looked at his Brother with a listless gaze.
"We'll enter that forest, soon we'll get something to eat. Also if we are lucky, we can pick rare herbs and sell them!, what do you think Yingying?".
"B-Really..?", Hearing the word 'eat', a glimmer of hope appeared in the little girl's eyes.
"Yes!, what will Yingying eat?, you will buy whatever Yingying wants!".
"If we can get the money, Yingying wants steamed bread like that day, it tastes really good..."
"Hehehe... Bread, steamed bread...".
The twin brothers and sisters momentarily forgot the hunger and fear they felt. The two are now thinking of a boundless future filled with obstacles and ignorance waiting for their every move.
Is their future bright or bleak?, life or death?, who knows?.
...-----+-----+-----+-----...
"Shifu!, Shifu!, when will we arrive?".
"...It'll be there soon. Ah, sit properly, son".
The white-robed female cultivator gently reminded her overzealous little disciple. Do not let the excessive movement of his students will make them fall from the back of the stork they ride. It won't look elegant.
The little disciple in the pink dress giggled amusedly, he stopped moving and hugged his Master's sleeves spoiledly.
"Shifu, what about second brother?".
The white-robed lady, Lan Mian, wholeheartedly explained to her disciple.
"Your second brother left earlier than we did, now he might have gotten there first".
The little disciple, Fang Yuli, nodded in understanding. Jade Ornaments in his head slightly cluttered following his every move.
"Shifu..."
"Yes".
"Qiancheng Valley, what kind of place is that?".
Lan Mian fell silent, he controlled the silver stork he was driving while answering.
"Qiancheng Valley, it is a piece of magic in the midst of the mortal realm".
"People from the Chuhua Pavilion said, if the Qiancheng Valley has a magical aura and a very high spiritual aura. Whether it's monsters, demons, or mutant plants, they can all be born and grow very well there".
"The rumor was recently that there were some missing people, and those missing people were Jindan stage Cultivators who were trying to find luck there".
"So Shifu, is that place very dangerous?".
"Okay, I'm not sure either. What is clear is that something that hides in the dark and lurks in silence is the most dangerous".
The silver eyes of the white-robed Cultivator were cooling. With incomprehensible emotions he lowered his head, staring at a dense and lush forest from behind a wisp of white clouds.
...-----+-----+-----+-----...
Sitting on a pile of human skulls and bones, the man sings a song.
A smile was drawn from his black lips. Eyes as black as obsidian spun and fell on the black flag with an array pattern of curses and death on its cloth.
"A little more, the ritual will soon be able to begin".
"My prey has gathered in one place, it is time to harvest the life of hehehe..."
The man stood up, his long black robe dragged to the ground as he walked. Step by step he came down from the pile of skulls, until he finally arrived in front of the flag.
"Sadly, I couldn't find a good container for you".
"But it's okay, it's not a big deal".
"By the way I found something interesting recently. From the opposite direction I could sense the very existence of a very special spirit..."
"The spirit looked like it had just woken up, it felt from how weak he was. But even though I was so weak I could still feel it, it must have looked good and beautiful..."
"Oh, I can even faintly smell her intoxicating scent".
The man stroked his chin while thinking. "If my guess isn't wrong, it should smell like..."
"....like the smell of peach blossoms?".
Gazing at the black, dark, and gloomy ceiling of the cave, the man suddenly smiled then laughed.
"Hahahahaha---!!!. This is so much fun!!!, hahahaha--!!!".
His crazy, evil, and terrifying laughter echoed within the cave. The frequency of his laughter was so high that it made the bats hanging on the cliff startled to wake up. All the bats sensed the dangerous aura of the black-robed man, in their panic opening the katab and flying around the narrow and dark cave, trying to find a way out.
The black flag that was stuck on top of the only red skull shook, expressing the same feeling of joy and madness as well.
