Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 655 - 654: Releasing Lanterns (Part 2)

"Do you have any more Fire Sticks?" Shen Qinglan squatted beside him and said softly, "Let me help light them as well."

"No need, leave it to your husband!" Duan Yunfei said with a smile, "In a moment, I’ll show you a magic trick."

Shen Qinglan rested her elbows on her knees, held her chin, and smiled at him, "You can do that too?"

Duan Yunfei smiled mysteriously, "Just wait and see, my dear."

"Alright!" Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "I can’t wait."

He quickly lit about fifty lotus lamps, then placed the remaining unlit lamps among them.

"Hmm?" Shen Qinglan frowned, "Aren’t you going to light those?"

"Watch closely, my dear!"

He stood up, waved his long sleeve, and those previously unlit lotus lamps lit up one after another.

The lake surface near the shore was suddenly illuminated in an instant.

Shen Qinglan was momentarily stunned. If she didn’t know better, she might have thought that Duan Yunfei had just used some kind of Immortal Law.

"How did you do it?" Shen Qinglan asked with interest. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I’ll tell you later!" Duan Yunfei replied with a smile, "First, make a wish."

"Make a wish?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Do you believe in deities?"

Duan Yunfei approached her, took her cold hands in his, and with a smile in his eyes, said, "I didn’t before, but ever since meeting you, my dear, I do."

The tender words reached her ears and for a moment, Shen Qinglan was dazed. She looked at him, her heart trembling slightly.

After a while, her slightly hesitant voice sounded, "Because... of me?"

"Yes!" Duan Yunfei nodded, "Because of you, I want to believe that deities truly exist in this world."

With Shen Qinglan, he witnessed many impossibilities, like those strange and mysterious things, including her herself.

Shen Qinglan interlocked her fingers with his under the moonlight, raised her brows, and said, "Yunfei, thank you!"

She’s not a sentimental person; her nature might be a reason. She’s not good at expressing her feelings and rarely says anything cheesy to Duan Yunfei. Although they have been inseparable these past two or three years, most of the time, their relationship remained respectful and courteous.

"Silly!" Duan Yunfei softly caressed her hair, smiling gently, "Hurry and make your wish."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, brought her hands together, lowered her head, and closed her eyes, praying in her heart for her family and the people around her, wishing the deities to protect them with health and safety year after year.

She opened her eyes slightly and said, looking at Duan Yunfei’s eyes which were as gentle and smiling as ever, "I’ve made my wish. You can tell me now why those unlit lamps lit up."

Duan Yunfei, momentarily dazzled by her rare brilliant smile, gathered his thoughts after a while and replied with a smile, "Place the unlit lamps next to the lit ones, then use Inner Strength to control the direction of the flame, so that the nearby lamps light up too."

Shen Qinglan was amazed, "Did you come up with that yourself?"

"No!" Duan Yunfei shook his head slightly, "My master taught me that. I learned it for a long time. Back then, I couldn’t control my Inner Strength and ended up burning quite a few lamps."

"Master Chu taught you?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow slightly, "He would teach you such fanciful things?"

Duan Yunfei chuckled softly, "Master said that in his youth, he was also a bit of a romantic. This trick was used to win young girls’ hearts."

Shen Qinglan smiled, "I wouldn’t have expected Master Chu to be that kind of person."
