Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Thoughts Under the Moonlight_1
Qin Sisi was very thankful for Wen Xuan’s help. She stopped playing and was about to pick up the paper-wrapped food, when a thought suddenly occurred to her.
She lifted her head and said worriedly to Wen Xuan, "Brother Wen Xuan, is this alright? Teacher Yirou said I have to do it myself."
Wen Xuan paused his flute playing and calmly replied, "Teacher Yirou did say that Prince Yeyou couldn’t assist you, but she didn’t say others couldn’t."
After saying this, Wen Xuan put the flute back to his lips and continued to play the rry tune.
Qin Sisi was montarily stunned. She mulled over his words, and found it flawless.
Both Teacher Yusha and Teacher Yirou had specifically stated that Ye You couldn’t help Qin Sisi, but indeed, nobody had said that others couldn’t help.
Qin Sisi didn’t know if they overlooked or intentionally left this loophole, but since it was there, she couldn’t be blad for it.
So, Qin Sisi stopped struggling with the issue. She picked up the white paper package that Wen Xuan had passed to her and opened it to find two objects that resembled roasted chicken legs. They were still warm, and emitted an enticing aroma.
Qin Sisi licked her lips and began to chow down with big bites. The objects resembled chicken legs and tasted like chicken legs, but their texture was chewier than chicken.
As she saw Wen Xuan completely focused on playing the flute, she didn’t ask too many questions, but quietly savored this unnad delicacy.
By then, it was already evening. Ye You was worried, and headed to Tianyin Mountain again to find Qin Sisi.
Suddenly, a tall figure blocked his way. He wore a dark grey coat and his white hair was slightly ssy due to the mountain breeze. His face was covered with crisscrossed scars.
Ye You composed himself and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Chen Song."
Those who were familiar with Yirou knew that one could offend Yirou on Tianyin Mountain, but couldn’t afford to offend Mr. Chen Song, even if he currently was just an ordinary person without any magic powers.
Chen Song spoke in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please return. Qin Sisi needs to play music for the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python for three days and three nights, and during this period, she cannot leave Tianyin Mountain."
Ye You anxiously pleaded, "Sir, Sisi’s magic power is still very weak, it’s impossible for her to last three days and three nights. Let her return and rest for the night, then continue tomorrow, how about it?"
Mr. Chen Song firmly shook his head, "It’s impossible. This is the condition that was already agreed upon."
"But..." Ye You wanted to continue arguing, but Chen Song interrupted him, lowering his voice, "Ye You, your father’s kindness has always been on my mind. Please trust , and trust Yirou."
Ye You paused, no longer insisting. He stepped back, bowed to Chen Song, and turned away. He activated his magic power, creating a pair of translucent wings on his back and flew quickly towards Tiandan Mountain.
The sky was gradually darkening, the sun setting in the west, and he was running out of ti.
The mont Ye You closed the door behind him, a faint light flashed and his tall figure transford into a small black cat.
The curse was not completely lifted, and he was still bound in every aspect. He could only temporarily stay dormant in the darkness until the first light of dawn rose from the east.
Watching Ye You’s figure disappear into Tianyin Mountain, Chen Song stood silently in the sa place for a long ti, until a delicate voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Everyone has left, why are you standing here foolishly?" Yirou approached with a graceful gait and stopped about two ters away from Chen Song.
Chen Song’s eyes softened as he looked at her, contain patron-multi">Grammarly: multiple errorsing a complex mixture of emotions. He said softly, "You’ve also had a long day, you should go back and rest."
Yirou snorted coldly, a hint of grievance in her voice, "With empty quilts and cold pillows, sleep won’t co."
Chen Song went silent and lowered his head, not speaking another word.
Yirou glanced resentfully at Chen Song, said nothing more, and asuredly turned to leave.
Chen Song was left alone on the hillside again, standing motionless, like a statue when viewed from a distance.
The moon rose, its frosty rays casting a shadow from Chen Song, a shadow that seed to harbour countless unspoken sorrows.
Having finished the two roasted items, Qin Sisi wiped her hands and used the "Grass Shines Sunshine" skill to heal her right hand’s fingers. Afterwards, she stood up and stretched a little.
Feeling that she had sufficiently recovered, she turned to Wen Xuan and said, "Brother Wen Xuan, I’ve rested well. Let
take over now!"
With that, Qin Sisi brought out her Half Moon zither stored in the storage ring and began to play again.
Wen Xuan stopped playing the flute, his voice gentle as he said, "Alright. I’ll be going back to rest. I’ll co see you tomorrow morning."
A tinge of bitterness showed on Qin Sisi’s face. Wen Xuan’s words ant that she would have to spend the entire night in this damp and cold basent, playing music for the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python.
Wen Xuan stood up and began to walk toward the staircase. He turned back and said, "A tip for you, if you play the lullaby beautifully enough, it might put the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python to sleep for about five to ten minutes."
After saying this, Wen Xuan maneuvered up the steps as if to avoid further questions from Qin Sisi, leaving the underground room of the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python.
Perhaps because the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python was a bit exhausted from dancing along Wen Xuan’s rry tune earlier, the python closed its eyes and began swaying gently as soon as Qin Sisi started playing the lullaby.
While Qin Sisi was playing the lullaby, she pondered over the advice that Wen Xuan had given her.
By playing the lullaby beautifully enough, she could put the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python to sleep for five to ten minutes.
Though a few minutes might sound very short, for Qin Sisi, who had to persevere throughout the night, these few minutes of rest ti were precious.
But, how should she play the lullaby beautifully enough?
She carefully recalled what her father had taught her about playing the piano when she was a child. Apart from needing so talent, the rest relied on diligence and persistence.
Seeing no other better way, Qin Sisi could only try to calm her heart, throw away all distracting thoughts, and focus entirely on playing the music.
After playing for more than an hour, she saw that the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python had completely closed its eyes and its body was swaying slightly. She decided to stop playing to see the effects of the lullaby.
However, in less than two minutes, the python opened its red eyes and glared at Qin Sisi unhappily.
Qin Sisi had been prepared. After healing her swollen right hand fingers with magic and continually observing the python’s response, she promptly lifted her Half Moon zither and resud playing the mont the python opened its eyes.
