Chapter 120: Zither Music, Meteor Showers
Gasp—
The Holy Emperor and the others gasped. They noticed the direct connection immediately because they were smart!
“I never expected that Mr. Li would say something and…and the Fiery Nebula would move aside just like that!”
Zhou Dacheng started talking to himself. It sent a chill down his spine and gave him goosebumps all over.
Too scary!
Too frightening!
He always heard of the horrifying stories of the expert, but he never witnessed it in real life. This was his first time. He was unlike Qin Manyun and the others who were used to being shocked by the expert. They were mentally prepared.
He was as shocked as a normal human encountering God-like miracles. He was excited and terrified.
The expert spoke, so the Fiery Nebula made way. Could any ordinary person do that?
He said ‘hopefully we’re lucky’, and therefore, they were!
What? The Fiery Nebula wanted to impress the expert, too?
Holy mother of God!
Zhou Dacheng felt like he just discovered a huge secret that he was not meant to discover.
The Holy Emperor and the others looked at each other, bewildered. They could not describe how they felt at that moment.
Although it was hard to believe…the Fiery Nebula was kissing up to Li Nianfan.
It moved out of the way, right?
Zhou Dacheng asked, “Saintess, do we need to take the detour?”
“No!”
Qin Manyun looked like she was thinking. Then, she said, “I understand now. The expert’s hint is obvious. We would be fools to still take the detour.”
Luo Shiyu hurriedly asked, “Sister Manyun, what’s the expert’s hint?”
“Mr. Li talked to Second Elder about the Fiery Nebula. Then, he gave him a pear out of nowhere. The pear won’t be for free, right?”
Qin Manyun smiled and confirmed, “Mr. Li was trying to hint at Second Elder, telling him to just go and not take detours!”
“Makes sense,” said the Holy Emperor. He nodded, “I think we can go for it. The Fiery Nebula already made way. We shouldn’t be cowards.”
Zhou Dacheng took a deep breath and focused. “Okay, let’s go!”
The skyship increased its speed and went for the Fiery Nebula.
Everyone watched nervously as the skyship sailed through the passage trail safely. On the sides were endless burning fireballs. The fireballs were not solid. They were made of ionized gases. The colors of the flames were different, too.
They were like multi-colored stars decorating the night sky. It was a majestic sight.
The old saying was right. The more beautiful some things were, the more dangerous they were.
Luo Shiyu was obsessed. She faintly said, “So, this is what a Fiery Nebula looks like. So beautiful!”
Qin Manyun nodded lightly. Countless fireballs were reflected in her pupils, making her eyes extra beautiful at that moment.
The skyship sailed through the quiet night in the Fiery Nebula. It looked like a beautiful painting from afar.
“No wonder I heard noises. You’re all still awake.”
Li Nianfan and Daji walked out of the skyship and laughed.
Qin Manyun and the others jumped at the sight of Li Nianfan. They almost knelt.
Their legs were uncontrollably weak at the sight of a bigshot.
Qin Manyun pretended like nothing happened. “Mr. Li’s still awake, too?”
“I heard a commotion so I was curious.” Li Nianfan smiled.
He looked up and looked around. He was astounded. “Woah, this is far too beautiful!”
Daji was astounded, too, drunk from this beautiful scenery.
Li Nianfan gazed around and laughed. “Thankfully I’m awake. Otherwise, I would’ve missed such a pretty sight! That would be regretful, right?”
The trip was worth it!
This scene was unimaginably beautiful. It was soulful and majestic.
Vroom—
The flames burned brighter as if beaming from Li Nianfan’s compliment.
The multi-colored flames danced, crisscrossing rhythmically. The dancing flames took beauty to another level.
Li Nianfan enjoyed it. He complimented, “Nice, so beautiful.”
The Holy Emperor and the others simultaneously rolled their eyes in annoyance. They wanted to curse the Fiery Nebula.
‘Boot licker!’
‘Standard teacher’s pet!’
‘We’ve never seen you move away for others before. Why now? Why the performance?’
‘Obvious kiss-up!’
Qin Manyun suddenly said, “Mr. Li, this is such a wonderful sight, it makes me want to play some tunes. I hope you won’t mind.”
Li Nianfan shook his head. “I don’t mind. Music goes well with beautiful sights.”
Qin Manyun smiled gracefully and pulled out a zither.
She was like a Goddess under the moonlight, playing on the instrument with her beautiful, slender hands. She played an upbeat tune.
The zither music made the beautiful sight even better.
The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu looked at each other bitterly. They wanted to impress the expert, too, but they did not know how to do that.
Li Nianfan looked nostalgic and mumbled, “I wonder if these fireballs would fall. I always wanted to see a meteor shower but I’ve never had the chance.”
As soon as he said that, one of the fireballs trembled like it could not handle it anymore before falling from the sky, leaving a fiery trail like a comet.
It was followed by a second fireball, then a third, then a fourth…
Fireballs slashed through the night sky with their fiery tails.
This scene was majestic, especially when Li Nianfan was right in front of the meteor shower. It was an indescribable beauty.
Meteors would pass by Li Nianfan at almost every moment—from the sides, from the back, from above, and the front…
Endless.
Li Nianfan submerged himself in this beauty. He was feeling emotional. He relaxed and enjoyed the experience.
A beautiful sight, a nice night, a pretty woman playing zither music, and a meteor shower.
It would be a waste to let this go.
Li Nianfan decided to sit down. He took out a square piece of green folding paper from the System Space and started folding it while watching the meteor shower…
