Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

"Sing... sing?"

Lan Huaiqiu was shocked and couldn't help but repeat it.

The man tilted his head slowly: "Dancing is also OK."

Lan Huaiqiu: ...

What's happening here?

Lan Huaiqiu twitched the corners of his mouth, caught off guard by the sudden situation. He looked at the man in front of him in confusion, suspecting that he just wanted to tease him.

"I... am not very good at singing." Lan Huaiqiu stared at the man closely, determined that as soon as he changed his expression, she would run away without looking back.

"Then what do you know?"

Fortunately, the man did not get angry, but asked patiently.

"I...I can play the piano. I can play a song for you."

"Okay." Unexpectedly, the man laughed when he heard Lan Huaiqiu's answer. He was so happy and bright. "I haven't heard any music for a long time... but there is something."

"What's the matter?" Lan Huaiqiu, who had been somewhat relaxed, immediately tensed up and asked him.

"Can you play this one?" The man took out a yellowed and damaged sheet music from somewhere and handed it to her. "I haven't heard it for a long time."

Lan Huaiqiu took the music score, flipped through a few pages, and slowly frowned.

……can't read.

Lan Huaiqiu could roughly tell that there was music score recorded on it, but she didn't recognize the words or the music on it, and had never even seen them before.

"I... don't understand." Lan Huaiqiu hesitated for a moment, but still answered him honestly.

The man was visibly disappointed.

"Then...can I play other songs?" Lan Huaiqiu asked cautiously.

The man pursed his lips and said, "Play it."

Lan Huaiqiu wanted to finish quickly, so he played a simple tune and observed the man's expression, feeling a little nervous.

"Hmm... you play it very well." The man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Play it again."

"I don't understand." Lan Huaiqiu repeated, frowning slightly. He knew that he was no match for him, so he could only soften his temper and lower his attitude. "Look, I have done what you asked, and I have something else to do... shall I leave first?"

"...No." The man's expression suddenly changed and he reached out to grab her.

Lan Huaiqiu dodged to the side and turned to run, but was grabbed firmly from behind. The man grabbed her clothes on the back with one hand and lifted her up face down.

"Hey! I—"

Lan Huaiqiu plucked the strings of the zither fiercely. The wind blade cut through the air and flew towards the man's neck.

The tree behind the man was cracked with frightening marks due to the wind blade passing by, but the man who took it head-on was unharmed. He just scratched his neck in confusion and looked around.

"It's okay. If you don't know how, I can teach you... When you learn how to play it for me, I'll let you go."

As the man spoke, he held her under his armpits and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"Let...let me go! Let go!" Lan Huaiqiu struggled violently, but the arms that were holding her were like rock and could not be shaken at all.

"Why are you still here? Didn't you say you were going to watch the fun?"

Suddenly, a strange voice came from the front of his head. Lan Huaiqiu was startled and looked up, only to see a strange monster. The monster was looking at the man with a puzzled look on its face.

Why could she see the monster's expression so accurately... Because this monster had a human face.

Lan Huaiqiu's hair stood on end, his whole body felt cold, and his heart skipped a beat in fear.

She had never heard of or seen this kind of monster, but since it could speak human language, she thought it must be above the intermediate level.

The monster raised its hoof, which was as big as a bowl, and walked slowly towards it. Its body was like a wild horse, with strong muscles attached under the skin, beautiful yellow, white and black horizontal stripes irregularly exposed on the skin, soft and beautiful hair, and a pair of broad wings perfectly tucked behind it. If it wasn't walking too close, it wouldn't be visible at all.

"Why are you capturing human children?" The monster obviously noticed her, lowered its head, and looked at her at eye level with its strange and beautiful eyes, then raised its head and looked at the man.

"Gululuabadi..." The man started talking, and said a lot of gibberish that she couldn't understand.

The monster blinked and frowned slowly, obviously understanding.

There are several paragraphs of language that I can't understand.

After the two exchanged ideas, they seemed to reach a consensus. The man put more strength into his arms.

"It hurts... it hurts!" Lan Huaiqiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and summoned her attributes to resist, but no matter whether it was the attack on the soul or the wind blade attack, neither of them reacted at all and just looked at her in confusion.

"...Are you so happy? You keep playing the guitar." The man was puzzled.

Lan Huaiqiu: ...

It's of no use at all.

Lan Huaiqiu was dejected, holding the big hand on his waist with both hands, feeling a little discouraged.

The monster understood what she was doing: "She is attacking us and trying to escape."

"Huh? Why?" the man was surprised.

"Do I even need to ask this?!" Lan Huaiqiu raised his head suddenly and stared at him angrily, "I want to go back. I don't want to play your song... I don't understand it at all!"

"Didn't I tell you I could teach you?" The man seemed even more confused. "You guys liked this song a lot before?"

"That's because you like it, right?! Since you can play it, why don't you play it yourself?" Seeing that her struggle was futile, Lan Huaiqiu bit the man's arm. As expected, there was no reaction and she ended up eating a mouthful of hair.

Wait... Mao?

Lan Huaiqiu spat out the hair in his mouth, feeling a little disgusted.

"Well... forget it." The man seemed to see that she was too resistant, so he had no choice but to let go and put her down.

This time it was Lan Huaiqiu's turn to be confused.

Is it that easy?

"Since you don't want to... then I'll look for it again." The man sighed, as if he was very regretful. "I'll give this to you. If you learn it one day, you can play it for me when you see me next time."

Lan Huaiqiu looked at the tattered music score in his hand in confusion, and raised his head to ask something, but saw that the two had turned around. The man suddenly changed his appearance -

His head suddenly disappeared, and his torso turned into a huge pocket with six limbs connected to it. His whole body was red like fire, and four broad wings grew on his back. The red wings trembled slightly, and a few feathers fell off.

Lan Huaiqiu was stunned.

Demon... Warcraft?

But this monster had no facial features at all, it just turned around. Lan Huaiqiu intuitively felt that it looked at him, then flapped its wings and flew up into the sky with the other monster.

Lan Huaiqiu: ...

Lan Huaiqiu stood there in a daze for several seconds, not reacting.

After a while, he slowly looked at the book in his hand, twitched his lips, and after thinking it over, he decided to put it away and read it when he got to college.

I was in a daze all the way back to the college, passing through the empty study and training ground. I accidentally glanced at the dean and wanted to say hello, but suddenly stopped.

She saw...the two strange monsters standing in front of the dean.

The strange monster with a human face raised its eyes as if it had telepathy and saw her.

Lan Huaiqiu's hair stood on end. Without hesitation, she turned around and ran away. She didn't even respond when the dean called her.

Lan Huaiqiu only felt darkness in front of his eyes, his heart was beating very fast, and he had no time to react. He just ran as fast as he could, and ended up bumping into someone.

"Hey hey!"

Lan Huaiqiu was hit hard in the chest and couldn't help but take a few steps back and sit on the ground.

The person in front of me was rubbing his chest, as if he was hurt by the collision.

"Why are you running so fast?" Miao Kaijie asked puzzledly, looking at the girl in front of him with lifeless eyes.

He wanted to say hello to her and just swung down from the tree, but she didn't even look at him and just bumped into him.

Miao Kaijie rubbed his chest again, wondering if her head was made of iron.
