Chapter 240: I want the Bright Moon itself to come to me

Chapter 240: I want the Bright Moon itself to come to me

Please help me to pay my hosting subscription of the site this month 🙏

The opera was called the Drunken Moon House, and it was lavishly decorated and very grand.

After being guided by the servants, the three of them arrived at the elegant room.

The room was very grand, even the chairs and coffee tables were made of spiritual wood, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

The three of them were the only ones in the room, and they could see the theater from above.

It not only guaranteed the best view, but a degree of privacy as well.

It can be said that the boss of this place is very good at business.

Su Shi sat on a chair, and the two women sat next to him.

Sikong Lanyue was still immersed in the poem she had just read.

The more she felt the words, the more amazed she became.

It was as if she could see the moon in the sky, a beauty thousands of miles away, and her heart was filled with lonely and distant thoughts.

“People have sorrows, joys, partings and reunions, the moon is dark, bright, waxes or wanes…”

“How does this person think? How can he create such poetic phrases?”

What touched her the most was the line “Starting to dance with one’s clear shadow – what else resembles the mortal world?”

Instead of flying to the Moon Calestial Palace, it’s better to stay in the world and dance under the moonlight.

It is better to stay in the mundane world than pursuing the immortality.

This is consistent with his words.

Seeing Su Shi’s handsome face, Sikong Lanyue couldn’t help but feel curious.

This man had great vision and a boundless mind, but he was so fond of the mortal world that it was hard to understand.

Zhan Qingchen was also secretly pondering.

He just wanted her to write a poem so that they could go in and enjoy to the music, but who would have thought that he would write such a beautiful poem?

“That’s right.”

Zhan Qingchen thought of something and said, “Wouldn’t it be a shame if you didn’t leave your real name for such a good poem?”

This is a masterpiece that will go down in history.

Many writers will not have the opportunity to do so in their lifetime.

Su Shi shook his head, ”I don’t care, it’s just a fake name, and I’m really not the one who wrote this poem.”

Zhan Qingchen hummed: ”Don’t lie, I don’t believe it.”

Su Shi was a little helpless.

Right now, no one believed the truth.

Sikong Lanyue paused for a moment and whispered, “You just called yourself ‘Picking the Moon’…. What is the meaning of this name?”

Sikong Lanyue quietly tightened her daoist robe, looking a little nervous.

The other party had once said that she was like a lone moon in the sky, and after that, she took the name “Picking the Moon” as his pen name.

It was hard for her not to think this was related.

Su Shi shrugged, “I just said it casually, how can the moon be plucked?”

Sikong Lanyue bit her lip and said, “But, how can you be sure it can’t be done while you’ve never tried it?”

Su Shi shook his head, “I will never try picking the moon.”

Sikong Lanyue’s eyes dimmed.

She wanted to say something, but it felt like a fish barb was stuck in her throat.

“I…”

“I don’t want to pluck the moon. I want the bright moon to come to me.”

Su Shi said softly.

Sikong Lanyue raised her head, “What does this mean?”

Su Shi said with a smile: “If this moon is mine, it will naturally come to my side, but if it distributes its light to others, then I will not choose this moon.”

He did not want a moon that shone on others, no matter how good it was.

He only wanted the white moonlight that belonged to him.

Sikong Lanyue stared blankly at him.

Su Shi said curiously, ”Why would Daoist Master Sikong ask such a question? Is it because you want to fall in love?”

“Who wants to fall in love? Don’t be ridiculous!”

Sikong Lanyue began to blush again.

Su Shi smiled and said: “In terms of cultivation, I am not as good as Daoist Master Sikong, but in terms of romance, you are far behind me. If you are in love, you can come to me at any time.”

He meant that if she had any problems regarding romance, she could come to him for advice at any time.

Sikong Lanyue’s jade cheeks were hot, and she stammered: “I, I… who is in love with you!!!”

Su Shi: “???”

The sound of a flute rang out on the stage.

The performance had begun…

The harp played with a melodious and melodious tone, as if a young girl telling her grievances that she couldn’t be loved.

Sorrow, loneliness, and longing.

The musician’s superb technique quickly brought them into the scene.

Zhan Qingchen was already crying.

Sikong Lanyue’s eyes were empty.

In the past, she didn’t care about this type of music at all, but now, she was touched by it.

The musical performance she saw today was unlike any she had experienced before.

When she thought about it, even though Su Shi had not been here for long, he had changed her life.

Yet she did not reject him.

“Could it be that this is also okay?”

Sikong Lanyue said, “Su Shi…”

“Hn?”

Su Shi looked back.

Sikong Lanyue said softly: “Whether the moon will come to you, I don’t know myself.”

“But I can guarantee that this moonlight will not be given to others.”

Looking into those misty eyes, Su Shi could only remain silent.

Three days later.

It was not much different from what Su Shi expected.

The secret dao realm was no longer a place where he could experience the laws of dao because of the realm restriction.

At the very least, he had to reach the Profound Connection Realm before he could continue absorption.

Too bad, he had yet to sense the location of the next ancient bell.

“Su Shi, do you really want to leave?”

Zhan Qingchen reluctantly tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Su Shi ruffled her hair, “Maybe I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Zhan Qingchen pursed her lips, “I don’t believe…”

The teleportation point for Tianji Pavilion had been opened, and he could use the “Scenic Painting Scroll” to move at any time.

However, he didn’t explain it, and wanted to surprise this silly girl.

Zhan Qingchen took out a wallet from her robe.

“I’ve been embroidering this for the past few days to give to you.”

“Since it’s my first time embroidering, it may not be very good, please don’t hate it.”

Su Shi reached out and took it.

He could see the delicate stitching on the purse, and the delicate mandarin duck embroidery, which showed the young girl’s care.

“I like it very much.”

Solemnly, he put the wallet in his pocket.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back, ”Su Shi, you must not lose this purse, take it out every day to look at it, look at this as if you are looking at me, think of me.”

Su Shi shook his head and said, “I always think of you once every hour.”

“Liar, you have so many lovers, how can you always think of me?”

Zhan Qingchen still couldn’t help hugging him, “But I really don’t want you to leave….”

Su Shi said amusedly: ”People are watching, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

“I don’t care,” Zhan Qingduan said in a booming voice.

After all, there was no need to hide it.

And she also didn’t care about what others thought, except for her Master.

“Silly girl.”

Su Shi held her waist and carried her into the air and disappeared into the clouds.

After a long time, Zhan Qingchen descended back down alone.

Her cheeks were so red that she looked like sparkling water and didn’t look the slightest bit sad.

The disciples around her looked at her in disbelief.

Zhan Qingchen said with a frown: “What are you looking at?”

The crowd of people fled.

Zhan Qingchen looked at Xiaoqing, “Why are you still here?”

Xiaoqing whispered: “Chief, the lipstick on your lips seems to be wearing off…”

Zhan Qingchen: “…”
