The song that Gancao mentioned was the "Looking for the Moon" sung by the Xueli Society. Apparently, Gancao and Danggui had been guarding the Snow Lotus Peak for eight thousand years, and they had also heard the fairy Xue Xin sing it in those days.
Hearing Gancao's question, Danggui at the side couldn't help but reveal an expectant expression and looked at Xueli expectantly.
Xue Li is an accomplished doctor, but her skills are naturally no match for the man in white who has ten thousand years of experience. She had no idea that danger was nearby, and instead felt embarrassed by the stares she received from Gancao and Danggui.
She asked, “Do you want to hear it?”
Gancao swung his feet and said, "How should I put it... I miss it a little. After all, I haven't heard that tune for more than a thousand years since Fairy Xue Xin's accident. I still miss it a little."
Angelica nodded desperately. He was much more straightforward than Licorice and said frankly, "I want to hear it! I really want to hear it! Fairy Xueli, please sing it for us!"
Xueli was shy for a moment, but she often sang to the animals when she was in the fairyland. Now she and Licorice and Angelica were no strangers, so she said, "Then I'll try."
After she finished speaking, she cleared her throat.
Soon, clear and melodious tunes echoed around the lotus pond.
When the man in white heard the tune of the song, he suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had been distracted by seeing Xue Li's appearance and had not even heard clearly what they were saying just now.
He suspected that he might be out of his mind. The first time he saw the little nine-tailed fox, he thought she looked very much like Yuezhu.
Yuezhu looked like both him and Chenxia, a very cute little girl. When he pushed aside the green leaves and saw the appearance of the little nine-tailed fox, he vaguely saw a hint of Yuezhu in the outline of her facial features, because Yuezhu resembled her mother, and vaguely she also looked a bit like Chenxia in the past.
But then, the man in white found it ridiculous.
Yuezhu was only eight years old when she died, and her appearance had not yet fully grown, so even if they were similar, it would be impossible to tell. There is too much difference between a girl and a young girl.
However, the next moment, Xue Li's singing voice filled his ears, and all his attention was focused on the tune of the song.
When he heard this tune, the man in white was stunned for a moment.
"Looking for the Moon".
This was a tune he would never forget.
Because it is an ancient zither piece, there are no lyrics when Xue Li sang it. When she was a little nine-tailed fox before, she sang "Awoo awoo", but now she just sang it with a clear hum. The girl's voice is like flowing clouds with wind and the gurgling of spring water.
However, when the tune reached the ears of the man in white, he was so shocked that he froze in place.
The tune Xue Li sang was what her aunt had said, which was different from the original version of "Looking for the Moon" that had been passed down, but it was the same tune as the one sung by Fairy Xue Xin.
If the man in white was subconsciously stunned when he first heard her sing "Looking for the Moon", but when he heard those unique tunes, his expression was already astonished!
The man in white trembled in shock, unable to believe that he would hear this tune again after ten thousand years.
Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
His whole body began to tremble violently, and his empty eyes regained clarity for a moment. His usually clear and resolute mind even forgot why he came here, and the only thing in his mind was the song.
The man in white subconsciously took a step back.
It was this step that caused him to lose control of his balance and breath, which had already transformed into a black mist body. His mind was greatly shaken, and the bush where he was hiding even shook. His snow-white sleeves got caught on the branches of the bushes, making a rustling sound.
Xueli was frightened by the strange sound. She stopped singing and looked towards the bushes in panic, asking, "Who?!"
"Um?"
Hearing Xueli's voice, Licorice and Angelica looked over unconsciously.
Seeing no one answering, Xueli tilted her head in confusion, stood up from the lotus pond, walked towards the bushes in confusion, and asked, "Aunt? Wuwu?"
Xue Li didn't think there would be anyone else in Xuelian Peak, so she naturally thought that it was just the two of them who came out.
The man in white would have distanced himself from the matter as a matter of course, but after hearing Xueli singing the song "Looking for the Moon", he was shocked. Her face, which had originally reminded him of Yuezhu's features, looked more and more similar to Chenxia and Yuezhu as Xueli approached, which made him confused.
No one could imagine how confused and panicked the man in white was at this moment. He had completely lost his previous composure and sense of proportion. Seeing Xue Li walking up to him, his mind went blank for a moment and he was panic-stricken. In the end, he had no time to think too much. Before Xue Li saw him, he hurriedly turned into black mist and quickly escaped, disappearing without a trace.
When Xue Li walked to the bushes, she saw only the trees and bushes that were as quiet as ever.
Gancao stood up barefoot beside the lotus pond and asked, "Who is it?"
"nobody."
Sydney answered.
She said in confusion: "Maybe it's the wind."
…
On the other side, the black mist transformed by the man in white drifted away with the wind, almost stumbling back into the valley and breaking into the ghost realm.
Ever since the man in white left, the hexagram disk had fallen into a self-abandoned silence and was completely plunged into darkness.
It was extremely surprised to see the man in white rushing back in such a miserable state. It was the first time in thousands of years that it saw him so flustered and embarrassed, with a confused look in his eyes. Even when he was injured in the process of achieving his goals in the past, he had never looked like this.
Gua Pan didn't dare to speak easily.
The man in white was shaken, rummaging around, and muttered in disbelief, "Impossible, this is impossible..."
How could there be someone in the world who could sing the original song of "Looking for the Moon"? !
In ancient times, the best time, he and Chen Xia were a young couple, in love with each other, and their love was at its most intense.
Both of them were knowledgeable in music, so they wrote songs for each other, one called "Chasing the Clouds" and the other called "Searching for the Moon".
But when recording the music score, something unexpected happened.
This is the tune that the couple wrote for each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a love letter.
In ancient times, there were not many gods who were proficient in music, and even fewer who could compose music. Immortal music could assist more younger generations and new gods in their cultivation. It was rare that they composed two particularly good pieces of music, and they did not intend to keep them privately. However, it would be a bit embarrassing to let others play the tunes they wrote for their loved ones.
Therefore, when notating the music, the two of them changed their minds temporarily, and each modified a few small sections in "Chasing the Clouds" and "Looking for the Moon", repaired the melody, preserved it as the original score, and would also play it in front of other gods.
Therefore, the "Chasing the Clouds" and "Searching for the Moon" that other gods have heard before are all modified versions.
The real original song was played only by the two of them in private, and after they had a daughter, they would also play it for Yuezhu.
Little Yuezhu was held in Chenxia's arms, and Chenxia gently hummed "Looking for the Moon" for her. Yuezhu had a good sense of music. When her mother hummed and played the piano at a very young age, she would sing along and never sang out of tune.
This should be a tune that only the three of them would know.
Now, he is the only one left in the world who can play it.
But today, why did he hear a long-lost song from someone else
And her looks...
The man in white's mind was in a mess.
He rummaged around in confusion for a long time, and finally took out the jade pendant he had hidden with him with trembling hands. He held the jade pendant cherishingly in his palm. Due to thousands of years of rubbing, the patterns on the jade pendant had faded.
This was the token of love between him and Chen Xia. They used to be a pair, but Chen Xia's had long been burned in the demonic fire along with her soul, and now he only had his own.
He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand and gently rubbed the patterns on it with his fingertips, but the vibration in his head had not yet subsided.
He recalled the appearance of Xueli he had just seen and the song that Xueli had hummed.
What's up with that little nine-tailed fox
Why would she sing a song that only Chen Xia and Yue Zhu would know
Who is she
Is it Chen Xia? Yue Zhu? Is it their reincarnation, or is it related to them in some way
The man in white was extremely shaken inside, and the strong shock made him unable to calm down. For the first time in ten thousand years, he felt at a loss about his current situation and didn't even know what to do next.
He clenched the jade pendant in his hand and did not move for a long time.
…
Xue Li didn't know that she had experienced a near-death experience that night.
To her, this night was not much different from any other night.
Apart from the fact that her aunt agreed to her and Wuwu's marriage, Xueli was hesitant at first, but once she made up her mind, she became extremely excited. She happily jumped back and forth in her room until midnight, and finally fell asleep wrapped in the quilt.
But when she woke up the next day, she couldn't wait to run to find Zi Lan.
Zi Lan was wandering around the outer palace, anxiously wondering when to go to Xue Li so as to avoid offending her.
When Xue Li saw Zi Lan, she ran over quickly, hooked her arms around his neck, and while Zi Lan wasn't paying attention, she quickly kissed him on the face!
"-Well!"
Zi Lan was stunned for a moment and didn't react. He just felt a sudden soft warmth against the side of his face. He turned his head blankly and looked at Xue Li without paying attention.
Xueli said excitedly: "I talked to my aunt last night!"
Zi Lan was still immersed in the previous kiss and asked unconsciously, "What are you talking about?"
Xueli drooped her eyelashes shyly before answering, "You said before that you wanted to marry me."
“… !!”
Zi Lan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Xue Li meant. His heart started beating wildly and his ears turned red.
He had always wanted to formally arrange his marriage with Xue Li, but he was also aware that other races would not make commitments as decisively as the wolves. He believed he had the patience to slowly wait for Xue Li's reply, but he did not expect that Xue Li would actually go to ask Fairy Shao Yin so soon.
Zi Lan was well aware of the influence that Fairy Shao Yin had on Xue Li. When he heard that Xue Li was going to tell him the answer, his heart couldn't help but rise. Thinking of Fairy Shao Yin's attitude towards him in the past few days, although she was not disgusted and even told him important things, she didn't seem to be particularly warm. He didn't know whether she was satisfied with a junior like him. Zi Lan couldn't help but feel nervous like a child waiting for test results.
He asked: "And then? What did Fairy Shaoyin say?"
Xueli replied: "My aunt said we can get engaged first. She is willing to go to the Wolf Territory and discuss the details with the Wolf King and Queen."
After Xue Li finished speaking, there was silence between the two for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Zi Lan couldn't help himself and picked up Xue Li!
The author has something to say: Zi Lan’s inner thoughts: Awooooo ...
