Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 307 - 154: Flower Fairy_3

Zhuo Longxia calmed down, "Although she is suitable, there are only two days left, we must hurry up. Kid—" She looked ahead and suddenly realized that Fu Manman was gone.

Then the three of them simultaneously turned their heads towards the door and saw Fu Manman tiptoeing and trying to sneak away with Xianchan.

Zhuo Longxia was shocked, took a few steps, and blocked Fu Manman’s way.

So fast!

Fu Manman immediately realized in her heart that this person was very strong, no... all three of them were very strong! She was definitely not their match.

Seeing her expression, Zhuo Longxia smiled helplessly, "Do you think we would harm you?"

No wonder Fu Manman wanted to run, as the gazes from these three were just too intense.

Fu Manman asked warily, "Then what do you want?"

Zhuo Longxia spoke softly, patiently recounting the course of events.

Fu Manman gaped slightly, staring blankly at her, and after a while, realizing something, she shook her head like a rattle drum, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Dancing in front of so many people, no, no, no... Besides, I’ve never danced before!"

Zhuo Longxia laughed, "It’s okay." She pointed at the slender Wen Luo and said, "This is the first dance instructor of Great Li, best at teaching people to dance." Then she pointed at the melodious Liu Qingshan and said, "This is the first musician of Great Li, able to easily evoke the true meaning of the melody and bring you into the best dancing state. Moreover, with your talent, you will learn it easily."

"No no no no no no no not possible!" Fu Manman felt faint at the thought of dancing in front of so many people.

Over the past year or so, traveling around with Fan Wubing, although her shy personality had improved a lot, she wasn’t yet brave enough for that.

Zhuo Longxia persuaded, "The Flower Fairy will be adored by everyone in Great Li."

"No no no—"

Zhuo Longxia gritted her teeth, "Endless rewards!"

"No no no—"

"Promotions and nobility!"

"No no no—"

"Admiration of the masses!"

"No no no—"

"A chance to meet the Holy Emperor!"

"No way!"

Zhuo Longxia gritted her teeth tightly, grabbed Fu Manman, and pleaded tearfully, "Good sister, I beg you, help your sister just this once!"

Fu Manman was startled, seeing the previously mature and intelligent elder sister’s image shatter to pieces.

Wen Luo and Liu Qingshan, standing to the side, expressed understanding. There was no choice; the pressure was too much and could twist a person’s personality.

"I’ll... I’ll think about it."

Fu Manman hadn’t expected Zhuo Longxia to go as far as this.

She was a bit troubled... these people really didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, and becoming the Flower Fairy seemed to be an opportunity others couldn’t even dream of. But... dancing in front of so many people was really too scary! What if she didn’t dance well?

Her emotions gradually calmed down.

She couldn’t help but think, "Is this all I can do? I left with Wubing to gain experience, to make more friends. But after a year... have I changed? When I parted ways with Wubing, I said I would think about my life, my Immortal Path, to become better... Is this now an opportunity for me to become better?"

Her timid gaze corrected itself bit by bit, becoming firm, "I... agree to help you!"

Zhuo Longxia was so excited she nearly fainted, "Good sister, what’s your name?"

"Fu Manman."

Zhuo Longxia immediately shouted aloud, "Someone, report this. This year’s Flower Dance has the name ’Lianchun,’ led by the Flower Dispersal Envoy Fu Manman! The Flower Dance tune is titled ’Lianchun Zhengdiao,’ performed by Liu Qingshan."

...

March 7th, Thousand Flowers Festival.

The clattering of hoofbeats struck solidly on the official road as the Red Flame Dragon Horse came to a halt at a certain point, snorting loudly and whinnying, awakening the drowsy boy on its back.

Fan Wubing opened his eyes and looked ahead, seeing both sides of the ten-li long straight path adorned with colorful flowers, like the flowing scarves of performers.

The wind rose, flowers swayed, and fragrance filled the air.

Fan Wubing’s exhaustion vanished entirely.

After leaving Queyu Mountain, he traveled along the northern border for a month before heading south towards Celestial Balance Upper City. The purpose of this was partly to learn more about Great Li and also to pay respects to Chengming’s deceased wife, Jiang Nianshu. In a way, the ’Rain Dragon Heavenly Sound’ he acquired was also from Jiang Nianshu, let alone the Bao Li Zither in his hand was originally a relic of hers.

Whether for his own peace of mind or to let the Bao Li Zither see its former owner, it was worth the visit.

When he reached Jiang Nianshu’s burial site, Fan Wubing immediately saw traces of Chengming’s previous visit.

The grave had been refurbished, the tombstone re-erected, inscribed with ’Tomb of deceased wife Jiang Nianshu, established by husband Li Ming,’ with three burnt incense sticks in front of the tombstone, remnants of explosives from burnt firecrackers nearby.

Everything looked quite ordinary.

Perhaps it fulfilled Jiang Nianshu’s wish to ’live ordinarily, die ordinarily’...

Fan Wubing dismounted, took off the contract from the horse, and patted the horse’s flank, "Get going!"

The horse whinnied and galloped towards the nearest relay station set up by Changyun Passenger Transport.

Fan Wubing stepped onto the ten-li Thousand Flowers Path alone.

If one is in a good mood, even the flowers by the roadside seem to be smiling.

He felt just that, the various colors and shapes of the flowers along the way appeared to smile at him.

Upon reaching near the city gates of Celestial Balance Upper City, he found it had long been crowded with people, all lining up to enter the city, a vast and bustling crowd, each with radiant faces.

Fan Wubing couldn’t help but ask a bystander, "Why are there so many people?"

"You don’t even know this? Must be a foreigner!"

Fan Wubing laughed, "I just arrived in Great Li not long ago."

"Today is March 7th, the Thousand Flowers Festival in Great Li, marking the melting of ice and snow, welcoming spring and bidding farewell to winter. The festival was established to commemorate the day when the ’Spring Deity’ ascended to the position of True God in Great Li."

"Spring Deity... the Four Seasons Gods..." Fan Wubing fancied.

The Four Seasons Gods, even among the True Gods, held a very high position.

"This year’s Thousand Flowers Festival is the most extravagant ever, truly bustling!" The speaker’s eyes sparkled, "Look at those young people, most have heard that this year’s Flower Fairy is exceptionally stunning and rushed over."

"Flower Fairy?"

"That’s right! The Flower Fairy will dance the Flower Dance of the mortal world on the Phoenix Perch Platform! Haha, you’re lucky to have just arrived in Great Li and to catch this, a feast for the eyes."

Fan Wubing smiled slightly, "Then let’s go have a look."

He said so, but in his heart, he didn’t take it seriously.

Exceptionally stunning? Can anyone compare to my Manman?
