Shi Lao was actually smiling, with a mocking expression, but Mingxian only furrowed her brow and stared at me intently, with a subtle look in her eyes. After downing a jar of wine and a big bowl of meat, they told me that the calamities of the sea had long been foretold in the prophecy, destined to come from the revenge of the foreign spirits. As a result, the sea had always been cautious and guarded against outsiders.
I never would have imagined that I am now the spirit of that foreign tribe - the only spirit that has survived the calamity that the sea wrought upon my tribe many years ago, when I was just an ordinary, ungerminated seed. I was born after the bloodshed, my senses clouded, and so I felt like I was a spirit of the sea. Carrying the scent of the sea, all the sea spirits also believed that I was a child of the sea.
I have no doubt that these two have no reason to play tricks on me. They have witnessed the changes of time and fate, and the vicissitudes of life are truly shocking. How could they avoid an inevitable disaster that was destined from the beginning? For Mingzhe and Mingxian, they have become indifferent and resigned. Without the task of waiting, the sudden freedom has left them breathless.
As for me, a fake child sent out from the sea, they couldn't bring themselves to deal with me, so they told me the truth and threw me into the human world. I can never return to the sea, as I bear the mark of Mingzhe and Mingxian. It all happened too quickly, and I didn't even have time to ask, where is my ancestral spirit... Will he find me?
The place where I was born and raised turned out to be the place where my people were exterminated. Even if I were to tell the truth, no one would believe it.
So I wandered around and found a job in the human world. Everything went smoothly, but now I can feel how foul the human world is. I can't tear anything apart, so I can only settle for this. It wasn't until I, a poor person, was chosen to be the face of the Princess's residence because of my beautiful appearance. The Princess is someone who lacks nothing.
I am often reticent and don't know how to sweet-talk, so after half a month of enthusiasm, she got tired of me and found someone new to play with. At first, I wasn't too upset, just spoke even less. My little girl comforted me, saying that the princess's heart is fickle and maybe she'll come back to me when she finds me attractive again. Later, she saw the new person and was amazed, telling me how happy the princess is every day. Oh? How handsome is this man?
On that day, I was able to walk into the princess's specially built villa, with real mountains and waters, lush vegetation, and fragrant clouds that could dispel the strong human odor, which suited my taste. Unfortunately, my courtyard only had fake mountains and waters, nothing special. There was nothing particularly special to eat, and the performance was just people trying to get noticed by the princess, but she loved it.
I saw this lucky slip and followed the sound of water all the way to a pavilion. I saw a plaque and found it quite interesting. The calligraphy on the plaque was powerful yet elegant, very unique. It was obvious that this work did not belong to any calligraphy master of the current dynasty. I was very curious about who it was, and was thinking about it. The owner of the courtyard arrived at some point, and greeted me with a polite smile. He is the new favorite of the Princess, still in the limelight. My first impression was that he was very beautiful.
...
He said his name is Li Su, and I felt that this name doesn't sound very auspicious, but luckily I am an ominous person. We met like this and became good friends. "Yuxuan, you can sit, lie down, enjoy the wind and the moon." In the sunlight, the bamboo leaves cast mottled shadows. He squinted, and there seemed to be some different marks on his face. I didn't look closely, just feeling too hot and eager to leave. "It's time for the plum blossom pastry. Since you're here, the only special thing must be eaten to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery, don't you think, Swimming Moon?" His words were not strange, but his expression was. I suspected he was lying to me. However, his words resonated with me, and the plum blossom pastry was indeed not bad.
