How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 864 - 698: A Song Over the Little Town (Part 2)
It’s snowing!
The end of the year is approaching, and the deep winter has arrived.
He has been in the Ancient Divine Ruins for more than half a month, and the outside world is already frozen over.
In front of him is the starting point of this journey, that small town.
What small town?
The place where Gu Suixin cavorted with that Demon Clan woman, and the place where he truly felt the hurt from a woman.
The small town of that day was like Misty Rain Jiangnan, with a spring-like aura.
But today’s small town is covered in heavy snow, the world a vast expanse of white.
Snowflakes still fall from the sky, and the number of pedestrians in the town is dwindling.
To be exact, there are almost no pedestrians outside except for a few poor souls in thin clothing struggling through the snow.
He walked through the air, traversing the snow, about to step beyond the small town and embark on his journey back to the capital.
Suddenly, in a small courtyard in the town, a peach tree bloomed.
The vibrant peach blossoms were so striking against the snow.
The black and white on Lin Xiaosu’s feet stopped alternating, his gaze turned toward the small courtyard and the peach tree, his heart skipped a beat...
The sound of the zither began, extremely gentle.
Like a spring breeze blowing through, melting snow and blooming flowers.
In front of him, it was as if the world had changed.
In this world, it was no longer a thousand miles of ice, but filled with the vigor of spring.
Peach blossoms bloomed, plums bloomed, a small garden showcased an uncontainable sense of spring.
There was also that familiar zither melody, carrying a hint of joy, carrying a hint of invitation...
Lin Xiaosu descended from the void, landing outside the small garden, raised his hand gently, and the garden gate opened.
Once opened, the garden’s spring filled the face, the outside world bitterly cold, seemed like a different world.
At the end of the garden, there was a small pavilion.
In the pavilion, two women slowly turned around, the wind blew, there was a faint fragrance, flowers drifted, and there was also floral beauty, the most brilliant two blossoms, clearly not on the branches, but at the end of the long pavilion.
Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "In the garden beauty blooms in red, myriad branches in crimson splendor blend into spring harmony, when shall it become a thousand-year fruit, to show the creation and craftsmanship of mankind... I wondered who in this world could craft such wonders, turned out to be old acquaintances."
The two in the small pavilion.
They turned out to really be his old acquaintances.
One acquaintance was Han Yan, the other was the Moon Demon.
Han Yan’s expression had a hint of complexity, the Moon Demon, however, smiled sweetly, stood up to greet him: "Greetings, Young Master Su!"
"Greetings, Moon Demon Fairy... Fairy Han Yan!" Lin Xiaosu also bowed in respect.
Han Yan could no longer sit, she also stood up, gracefully bowed, however, she did not speak.
The Moon Demon gently said: "Moon Demon is just Moon Demon, why does the gentleman add a Fairy?"
"In my heart, Fairies are not distinguished by race, those with unparalleled purity are all Fairies."
"Thank you, sir!" The Moon Demon’s eyes glimmered with gratitude.
Lin Xiaosu said: "I must also thank Moon Demon Fairy for the protection in the brothel that day."
He was speaking of the event when the Nineteen Prince intended to strike at him, but the Moon Demon suddenly appeared to protect him, though the Nineteen Prince had no capacity to harm him, the act of protection was still a favor.
"You’re joking, sir. With your abilities, enough to rival Holding the Way, the Nineteen Prince couldn’t harm you in the slightest. My actions were impulsive under the momentary distress." The blush on the Moon Demon’s cheeks rippled in layers.
The blush on her cheeks was originally a constant, but now it swayed, evoking endless charm in spring.
Lin Xiaosu was momentarily dazed, a demon, truly is a demon, it was the first time in his life he really grasped the charm of a demon.
Han Yan observing her friend (let’s tentatively call her a friend) seemed a bit dazed as well, spoke up: "Young Master Su, please enter the pavilion!"
"Alright!" Lin Xiaosu took a step into the pavilion.
"Please have a seat, Young Master Su!" The Moon Demon personally served a cup of tea.
Lin Xiaosu sat down, his gaze turned to Han Yan, smiled softly: "I did not expect Cold Fairy to still be willing to see me, it truly took me by surprise."
Han Yan gently sighed: "What you did when you went to Jiangnan indeed led to our opposition, but half a month ago, your melody healed my spiritual injury, I, Han Yan, in my actions, acknowledge kindness as kindness, grievance as grievance. Whatever you owe me, I will seek from you, what I owe you, I would thank face-to-face and return."
"Cold Fairy is discerning in matters of gratitude and resentment, admirable indeed!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Moon Demon Fairy, why have you, on my return journey, made this tree of peach blossoms bloom?"
The Moon Demon slowly stood, bowed deeply.
Lin Xiaosu was taken aback: "What are you..."
The Moon Demon slowly lifted her head: "Sir, your ’Burial Flower Song’ of that day, I believe you share my sentiment, I have a matter to seek your guidance on, I earnestly hope sir will not hesitate to teach!"
"Fairy need not be so formal, feel free to speak." Lin Xiaosu said.
The Moon Demon said: "I have long heard of your brilliant strategies that bring peace to the world and ingenious solutions to problems. Currently, my Nine Flower Demon Divisions are about to follow in the footsteps of Moon Burial Valley, may I ask sir, is there a strategy that can help us preserve our territory and secure our people?"
Lin Xiaosu was taken aback.
Seeking his advice!
Who knew about his strategies for peace in the world?
Who knew his abilities were more visible in planning?
Probably only the Han Yan in front of him knew.
This clearly shows, even though Han Yan held a grudge over him for ruining her home, deep down, she still admired him, seeing her friend’s troubled situation, she gave her friend the idea to stop him and see what he would suggest.
The Moon Demon’s heart was also full of unrest.
She did not know if the young gentleman, of character so complex, yet with unfathomable abilities, could help her.
Lin Xiaosu gently raised his hand: "Moon Demon Fairy, please sit, tell me about your current situation..."
The Moon Demon’s heart was filled with joy, if he was unwilling to help, he certainly wouldn’t listen to her situation, his willingness to listen, truly meant there was hope...
