Chapter 112: Transmigrated Singer!
The zither was on the imperial throne, so it was fine.
The melodious sound of the zither spread throughout the hall as the music girl played.
Leng Wuyan looked at Li Ran strangely.
"I"ve never heard Ran"er sing before, and this song"s name is so strange… The Whale Transformed Into An Isolated Island?"
Everyone quieted down, their eyes focused on the tall figure on the stage.
Faced with thousands of gazes, Li Ran only stared at them.
He opened his mouth and sang softly. A deep and magnetic voice sounded:
I’m a lone blue whale…
…Having the biggest figure…
…Fish and shrimp swim side by side…
…The birds are flying on my back…
…I haven’t been to somewhere bustling…
…I haven’t heard any noise…
…I haven’t seen too many creatures…
…I"ve never felt so hot before…
…So I didn’t feel right in the middle of the ocean…
Leng Wuyan"s heart skipped a beat!
This faint tune was something she had never heard before.
In the mortal world, most of the songs were filled with feelings of love and sadness. They were always filled with feelings of sorrow.
But this song was completely different.
The lyrics were straightforward but full of fantasy. The tune was flat, but it sounded like he was talking to someone.
Instantly, she was pulled into the mood.
It was as if she saw a huge whale drifting on the sea like an isolated island.
Leng Wuyan thought of herself in the past. Standing on the peak of the Snow Mountain alone was like an isolated island.
…Until that day…
Li Ran looked at Leng Wuyan with a warm smile.
Leng Wuyan"s heart began to beat faster. She silently clenched her clothes, so nervous that her breathing almost stopped.
The sound of the zither suddenly became cheerful, and the world became colorful in an instant.
Li Ran"s voice was soft.
…All the ugly wounds are crushed by the wind and waves…
…You have spring and autumn in your eyes…
…You are better than all the mountains and rivers I"ve ever seen…
…I want to be your runaway sh.o.r.e…
…To let you live like a queen.

When the song ended, the sound of the after-sentence echoed.
The hall became silent for a moment followed by thunderous applause!
Everyone looked at Li Ran excitedly.
Shocked, too shocked!
Li Ran"s song was completely different from those sad songs. The lyrics were simple but meaningful.
The melody was loud and clear, drilling straight into one’s heart.
This was the type of music they had never heard of before!
"Sheng Zi! Sheng Zi!" Everyone raised their hands and shouted excitedly.
Even Elder Sun couldn"t help but clap. She felt that her horizons had been broadened today.
Only Leng Wuyan remained motionless.
She stared blankly at the man on stage.
The two met each other"s eyes and the clamor in the surroundings disappeared as if only the two of them were left in the main hall.
"You have spring and autumn in your eyes, better than all the mountains and rivers you have ever seen?"
Leng Wuyan"s heart seemed to be filled with warmth, an indescribable softness rising from her heart.
Fortunately, she knew how warm the peach blossom was.

Li Ran jumped off the platform.
In front of everyone"s gazes, he walked over to Leng Wuyan.
"Master, I"ve just realized that I have some cultivation problems that I would like to ask for your advice. May I take a step forward?"
He winked at her.
Leng Wuyan blushed and cleared her throat. "All right, let"s talk in a quiet place."
She stood up and walked out with Li Ran.
One was tall and st.u.r.dy, while the other was graceful, looking exceptionally well matched.
Elder Sun frowned slightly as she looked at their backs.
"Why does it feel weird?"
—
Cold Wind City.
Frost Origin Festival was an annual event.
On this day, curfews would be lifted in all the city-states. All kinds of entertainment would last until dawn, and it was a night of celebration for all the citizens.
Li Ran and Leng Wuyan walked together on the street.
Beside them was a child who was holding a windmill candy man. The little stall lit by the lights on the street was steaming. Not far away, the drums and gongs were bustling with activity.
This kind of business made people feel inexplicably warm.
Leng Wuyan looked at Li Ran"s profile and asked curiously, "Ran"er, that song you sang today sounds so special. Did you write it?"
Li Ran shook his head. "No, the composer is another person."
It was his decision to sing on stage.
After receiving his master"s gift, he felt that he should express his own too. He used his memory to restore the song and then went to the city to find a top musician for training.
He didn"t expect to use the zither instead of a modern instrument.
Leng Wuyan said in embarra.s.sment, "I thought you disliked the gift and didn"t want to come looking for me."
Li Ran said seriously, "That"s the best gift I"ve ever received. I love it so much that I can"t wait to sleep with it every day…"
"Stop, stop!"
Leng Wuyan blushed and interrupted, "I didn"t give it to you for any strange doing!"
Li Ran nodded and said, "Master, don"t worry. I will treasure it."
"It"s just a piece of clothing. What"s there to treasure?" Leng Wuyan said shyly.
"That"s a token between us, and…"
Li Ran moved closer to her ear. "I want to see Master wear it!"
Pah! Pah!
Leng Wuyan"s face was as red as blood as she glared at him. "You treacherous disciple, you"re getting more and more impudent!"
"If one doesn’t dream. What"s his difference between salted fish?"
"How could there be such a strange dream!"
—
The two chatted while strolling.
The streets were bustling with people.
Leng Wuyan looked at the lively scene around her and could not help but shake her head. "I"ve been on Mount Xuanling for so many years, yet I didn"t know there was such a prosperous scene in the city."
Li Ran smiled. "That"s because Master didn"t meet the right person."
Leng Wuyan gave him a flirtatious glare. "You little thief, you dragged me into the mortal world. Ever since the day you confessed to me, it has been difficult for me to return to a state of quietness."
Li Ran shrugged. "What"s so good about having no desire? People who do can live a fulfilling life.“
After he finished speaking, he scratched her palm. "Could it be that Master doesn"t like it?"
Leng Wuyan"s face turned red, and she sighed helplessly. "You"ve fortunately hit the Devil Star! Fortunately, I didn"t cultivate the Ruthless Dao. Otherwise, I would have fallen to the emperor rank!“
"Ruthless Dao?" Li Ran said curiously. "There"s a devilish path like this? How come this disciple has never heard of it?"
"Pfft, devilish?"
Leng Wuyan didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. "If Yi Qinglan heard these words, she probably would die from anger?"
