As they walked to the end of the bamboo forest, they saw a lake lying quietly at the end of the bamboo forest. The sunlight shone on the lake's surface, reflecting seven colors. From afar, it looked like the colors emitted by the lake. Under the sunlight, it looked even more moving.
I looked up and saw Mu Yu wearing a loose white robe. The corner of his robe fluttered in the gentle spring breeze. His hand caressed the piano on the table, and his fingertips deftly plucked the strings. The sound of a string of jade poured out, twisting and turbulent without any stagnation. I closed my eyes and felt the soothing sound of the piano with my heart. For a moment, I felt that my mind had become extremely pure. It was as if there was only one person in the world. It was as if he had been waiting there since the beginning of chaos. Wait for me to listen to his voice.
After a song, the clear and gentle voice lingered in the air. I slowly opened my eyes and met Muyu's raised eyes. There was a faint smile on his lips that could not be read. His black jade-like eyes were deep and hazy."Mo 'er."
I walked slowly towards Mu Yu. Mu Yu looked up at me with a pair of tender eyes." Mo 'er, today is your birthday. Because of me, you can't celebrate your birthday at home. I can only use this method to celebrate it for you."”
I couldn't even remember my birthday, but Muyu remembered and even prepared such a performance for me. She looked at Muyu and said softly," Muyu, thank you.”
He then looked at Nanyun Feng, who was dressed in a sapphire blue robe and holding a jade flute in his hand. The flute sound that he had heard in the bamboo forest earlier must have been played by Nanyun Feng. He bowed to Nanyun Feng," I'm afraid no one can match the young prince's flute. Mo 'er was extremely fortunate to be able to hear the young prince perform a song personally.”
Nanyun Feng only looked at me expressionlessly. At this moment, Mu Yu walked to my side." Mo 'er, not only is Senior Brother's flute music unmatched, I'm afraid that no one can catch up to his zither skills and martial arts.”
No one could match up to Mu Yu's zither skills. Mu Yu's zither skills were already excellent. Nanyun Feng was even better than Mu Yu, so what kind of zither skills would that be? Perhaps Mu Yu could see my envy for Nanyun Feng's zither skills." Senior Brother, on account of Junior Brother, please satisfy Mo 'er's curiosity. I reckon that this little girl won't let me off if she can't hear your zither music today."”
I glared at Mu Yu in dissatisfaction and scolded," It's not as exaggerated as you say.”Even though I said that, I was really looking forward to hearing Nanyun Feng's zither music. In my previous life, I played the zither since primary school. In this life, when my aunt was free, she would teach me the zither skills, so I still have some feelings for the zither.
Nanyun Feng smiled faintly," Muyu's zither skills have already reached the peak. Compared to Muyu, I'm still far from it. I'll not embarrass myself."”
Mu Yu said disapprovingly," Senior Brother, you're too humble.”
I smiled. Since he wasn't willing to play, there was no need to force it. However, I was already very satisfied to hear such a sound from the zither and flute today.
Suddenly, a fragrance wafted over. I couldn't help but turn my head to look for the source of this fragrance. I saw Feng Chen sitting on the ground beside a fire not far away. There was a roasted whole lamb on the fire. The fragrance I had just smelled must have come from him.
I immediately rushed to Feng Chen's side and sat down. Mu Yu, Nanyun Feng, Cai 'er, and Chun' er also followed closely behind, sitting around the fire.
Feng Chen looked at my anxious actions and couldn't help but tease,"It's still the same as when you were young. No one will snatch it from you."”
"Who says there isn't? Why don't you snatch it from me?”Once, Feng Chen proposed to roast a whole lamb for us to eat. We agreed that he wouldn't snatch it from me, but in the end, he still snatched it from my hands. He said that I would gain weight if I ate too much, so he helped me solve it.
Perhaps it was because he had mentioned his embarrassing incident, but Feng Chen's face turned red, which was a rare sight in a hundred years. He said," I was just thinking of you."”
I said to Mu Yu, who was sitting beside me," Mu Yu, you must help me later. I can't let this guy snatch my delicious food again."”
Mu Yu couldn't help but smile and say dotingly," You silly girl.”
After eating and drinking to my heart's content, I sat on a big rock by the lake and looked at the calm lake. I asked Mu Yu," Mu Yu, what lake is this?”
"Butterfly Jade Lake."
" Butterfly Jade Lake…" I muttered.
Mu Yu looked at me and asked," What's wrong? Mo 'er."
"It's nothing. I just feel that the name is very special.”I smiled at Mu Yu.
"Yes, it's a very special name. It's said that a man and a woman who are in love by this lake can be together for life.”Mu Yu suddenly reached out and pulled me into his arms. He lowered his head and whispered softly into my ear,"Mo 'er, we have to be together forever."”
I quietly nestled in Mu Yu's arms, thinking about how the Butterfly Jade Lake in front of me had anything to do with the Butterfly Jade that Grandpa had mentioned and the butterfly birthmark on my body. Did the birthmark on my body and the Butterfly Jade Lake in front of me indicate that the person with the Butterfly Jade had already appeared? I looked up at Mu Yu, who was hugging me. Could the person with the Butterfly Jade be Mu Yu?
As night fell, our group didn't have any intention of returning. When we left the inn this morning, I saw that Cai 'er had already packed up all our luggage and placed them on the carriage. Therefore, we were destined to spend the night outside. However, this was something that I had been looking forward to so much. It would be better for me to personally experience nature.
All of us were still gathered around the fire. The night was a little chilly, and even though we had already put on clothes, it still couldn't stop the chill of the night. I was a little afraid of the cold, so I stayed close to Mu Yu to seek warmth. Looking at Feng Chen, Mu Yu, Nanyun Feng, Cai 'er, and the guards around them, I was incomparably envious of those who knew martial arts. At least they wouldn't have to suffer from the cold on such a night.
Seeing that I was trembling, Mu Yu ordered the guards to take his cloak and put it on me. He sat behind me and hugged me from behind, using his internal strength to warm me.
Looking at the flickering flames in front of him, the night had already completely darkened. The surrounding atmosphere was too suitable for horror stories. I suggested," Let's tell a story.”
When Chun 'er heard that there was a story to listen to, she shouted happily,"Okay, okay."”The others didn't say anything, but they obviously agreed with my suggestion.
I smiled." Chun 'er, let me remind you. We're going to tell a scary story later. Do you want to hear it too?”
Chun 'er looked at me pitifully, not saying a word as she burrowed into Cai' er's embrace. Looking at the two little girls who were about to hug each other, and then at the three men who didn't have any reaction, if I didn't scare you today, I would be a failure.
He cleared his throat and began to explain," Once upon a time, there was a child who discovered that his mother would comb her hair in front of a bronze mirror when it was time for the sun to rise. He found it very strange. One day, he went to the monastery and met an old abbot. He asked the old abbot this question, and the old abbot told him that when he saw his mother combing her hair again, he would ask her, are you a human or a ghost? So when the child returned home, at midnight, he saw his mother combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror. He asked his mother in fear," Are you a human or a ghost?”His mother turned to look at him and said,"I deliberately paused for a moment. With the help of the dim flames in front of me, I saw that all of their attention was attracted to me. Suddenly, I said," I am a ghost."”
" Ah…" Cai 'er and Chun' er hugged each other and screamed. Behind me, Mu Yu's body also stiffened for a moment. Feng Chen's face was even paler. Nanyun Feng was also frightened by my shout, causing his body to move. Looking at the appearance of these people in front of him, he could not help but laugh out loud.
Looking at their frightened expressions, I laughed heartlessly. Chun 'er looked at me with a face full of curiosity and shouted," Sister Mo' er, tell me another one.”
I smiled and said to Chun 'er," Chun' er, aren't you afraid?”
Chun 'er scuttled to Cai' er's side, looking at me and boldly saying,"Chun 'er, don't be afraid."”
At this moment, I realized that Mu Yu, who had been hugging me, tightened his grip on my arm when he heard that I was going to tell ghost stories. I suddenly realized that Mu Yu was afraid of ghost stories. I wanted to tease him, but when I looked at the people in front of me, I decided to let him go for the time being.
I leaned into Muyu's arms and pretended to be afraid. I said to Chun 'er," If you continue, I will be afraid myself." However, I can tell you another story.”
Looking at Chun 'er in front of him, she was still at the age of a child in the modern world. She would definitely like fairy tales very much. When I was young, I liked to listen to my mother's stories about the daughter of the sea. That was my favorite fairy tale.
"In the past, the Sea King had six cute and beautiful daughters. The youngest was the most beautiful. Her skin was smooth and tender, like the petals of a rose. Her eyes were blue, like the deepest lake. However, like the other princesses, she had no legs. The lower half of her body was a fishtail. When they were fifteen years old, their grandmother allowed them to surface and see the outside world. She watched her sisters reach the age where they could go out to sea and listened to all kinds of interesting things that her sisters told her. She was even more curious about the outside world. Finally, when she was fifteen years old, she came to the sea and saw a handsome prince on a boat. However, the storm overturned the boat and the sea princess saved the prince. Princess Hai fell in love with a handsome prince on land. In order to pursue love and happiness, she did not hesitate to endure great pain and shed her fish form to change into a human form. However, the prince ended up marrying a woman from the human world. The witch told the sea princess that as long as she killed the prince and let the prince's blood flow to her legs, the sea princess could return to the sea and live a carefree life again. However, for the sake of the prince's happiness, she threw herself into the sea and turned into bubbles.”
