Balala the Magic Fairy

The moonlight is like water, spreading over every corner of the Grand View Garden. The night is quiet and gloomy.

Yan Lili has been sitting quietly on the stone platform deep in the bamboo forest for a long time.

The simple jade pendant in front of her was engraved with complicated runes and was emitting a faint glow. After countless days and nights of hard training, she finally felt a subtle connection with the Investiture of the Gods.

Her mind slowly sank into the jade pendant, and the world around her seemed to gradually disappear, leaving only her connection with the jade pendant. Her consciousness wandered inside the jade pendant, exploring, groping for that mysterious power.

Suddenly, a ray of light burst out from the jade pendant and completely enveloped her.

Pictures emerged in front of Yan Lili's eyes. They were names that were either familiar or unfamiliar. They flickered in the light, just like the bright stars in the night sky.

"Guarjia Wenyuan, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Jiang Cheng..."

Her eyes lingered on these names for a moment, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

As her mind gradually withdrew, the light on the jade pendant slowly dissipated.

Yan Lili slowly opened her eyes, with a fiery light flashing in them.

The morning light shines softly through the gauze-like mist and falls on every corner of the Grand View Garden, covering this classical garden with a layer of dreamy gauze.

The flowers in the garden become more and more beautiful under the nourishment of crystal dewdrops, and the birds sing happily on the branches, as if celebrating the arrival of a new day.

In this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, a woman in a lavender dress walked into Zhen Huan's courtyard.

She walked lightly, had a gentle temperament, but a hint of pride was revealed between her brows.

This person is Yunli’s wife, Zhen Yuyin.

Zhen Yuyin's arrival did not disturb the tranquility in the garden. She quietly asked Liu Zhu where Zhen Huan was.

When Liu Zhu saw that it was Zhen Yuyin, she did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly led her to Zhen Huan's room.

"Sister, Yuyin has come to see you specially." Zhen Yuyin's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of respect.

Zhen Huan was sipping tea leisurely in front of the window. When she heard Zhen Yuyin's voice, she turned around with a gentle smile on her face: "Yuyin, you are here, please take a seat."

The two of them sat down at the tea table in front of the window, and Liu Zhu served Zhen Yuyin a cup of fragrant tea.

The aroma of tea rose in the air, and the conversation between the two slowly unfolded.

"Sister, are you doing well these days?" Zhen Yuyin asked softly, her eyes lingering on Zhen Huan's face for a moment, as if searching for something.

Zhen Huan smiled slightly: "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, sister."

Zhen Yuyin nodded slightly and turned her gaze to the window, as if admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden.

A complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but she regained her composure in an instant.

"Sister, I heard that there has been some disturbance in the garden recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with Miss Yan?" Zhen Yuyin's voice was still gentle, but her question went straight to the point.

Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes stayed on Zhen Yuyin for a moment, and then she slowly said: "It is true, but it has been settled now."

Zhen Yuyin sighed softly, with a hint of concern in her voice: "That Miss Yan, I heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between her and the adults."

Zhen Huan's eyes flashed with understanding, knowing Zhen Yuyin's intention, and she said softly: "Sister, don't worry, there is nothing wrong between Yunli and Miss Yan, it's just a misunderstanding."

Zhen Yuyin smiled with relief when she heard this: "That's good. I was just worried that my sister would be troubled by this."

The conversation between the two continued in the aroma of tea, from the flowers and trees in the garden to the way of cultivating immortals, and from daily trivialities to reminiscing about the past years.

Time passed quietly without anyone noticing, and it was not until the sun was high in the sky that Zhen Yuyin stood up and said goodbye.

"Sister, Yuyin will not bother you today. I will visit you another day." There was a hint of reluctance in Zhen Yuyin's voice.

Zhen Huan nodded slightly and personally escorted Zhen Yuyin to the gate of the courtyard. The two bid farewell to each other reluctantly in the morning light.

Zhen Yuyin's figure gradually disappeared in the path in the garden.

Zhen Huan stood at the door with a deep look in her eyes. She took a deep breath and turned back to her room.

On this day, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. The Grand View Garden was lush with flowers and trees, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Yan Lili, Zhen Huan, Zhen Yuyin and several maids went to visit this prosperous scenery together.

They walked slowly along the winding flower path, with peonies and herbaceous peonies on both sides blooming in full bloom, vying for beauty.

Zhen Huan was wearing a light green long dress, her steps were as light as a fairy, and her temperament was like a secluded orchid in a valley.

Her eyes swept lightly over the flowers, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"The flowers in this garden are becoming more prosperous every year." Zhen Huan said softly, with a hint of joy in her voice.

Yan Lili followed closely behind, her eyes lingering among the flowers, as if looking for something.

"My queen, although these flowers are beautiful, they are ultimately mortal things. How can they compare to the exotic flowers and plants on the path to immortality?" Yan Lili said softly, with a hint of yearning in her voice.

Zhen Yuyin smiled slightly, his eyes swept lightly over the two of them, and then turned to a small bridge in front.

The water under the bridge is gurgling and clear, and several koi fish are swimming and playing in the water.

"Sisters, look at the fish under the bridge. They are free and unfettered. It's really enviable." Zhen Yuyin's voice was soft with a hint of envy in her eyes.

The three of them stopped on the bridge and admired the scenery below.

The maids stood quietly by, not daring to disturb their masters' enjoyment.

"Sister Yuyin, you don't know that although the fish is free, it is also restricted by the water flow in this garden. Although we cultivators pursue freedom, we also need to abide by the laws of heaven and earth." Zhen Huan explained softly.

Yan Lili nodded slightly, her eyes lingering on the flowing water under the bridge for a moment, then turned to Zhen Yuyin.

"Sister Yuyin, although you and I are immortals, we should not forget the beauty of this mortal world. Sometimes, these mortal things can also bring us many inspirations."

Zhen Yuyin heard this, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes, and she nodded gently: "Sister Lili is right, Yuyin has learned from you."

The three of them chatted and laughed on the bridge, enjoying this rare quiet moment.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the treetops and falls on their bodies, casting a faint golden glow on their figures.

Passing through the Peony Pavilion filled with colorful flowers, Yan Lili, Zhen Huan, Zhen Yuyin and their companions arrived at the most secluded Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden.

This was the residence of Nian Shilan during his lifetime. The garden is planted with Xiangfei bamboos, and the swaying shadows of the bamboos make it even more quiet and elegant.

"The bamboo here seems to be more spiritual than those elsewhere." Yan Lili said softly, her eyes wandering in the bamboo forest, as if she could feel the vitality of each bamboo.

Zhen Huan nodded slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes: "Shi Lan loved this place the most when she was alive. Her noble character is quite in line with the bamboos in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Zhen Yuyin gently stroked a bamboo and said softly, "The bamboo in Xiaoxiang Pavilion always seems to make people feel peaceful. Sisters, why don't we take a rest here for a while."

The three of them sat down on a stone bench in the bamboo forest. The surrounding bamboos swayed gently in the wind, making rustling sounds.

"Sister, look, there seems to be a small pavilion deep in the bamboo forest." Zhen Yuyin pointed ahead, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Zhen Huan and Yan Lili looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, they saw a small and exquisite pavilion deep in the bamboo forest. Wind chimes were hung on the eaves and corners of the pavilion, making pleasant sounds in the wind.

"That is the Tingyu Pavilion, where Shilan often sat and listened to the rain when he was alive." Zhen Huan said softly, with a hint of emotion in her voice.

Yan Lili stood up and suggested, "Why don't we go sit in the Tingyu Pavilion and feel what Shi Lan felt back then."

The three of them walked along the path in the bamboo forest towards Tingyu Pavilion.

Along the way, they admired the beauty of the bamboo forest and felt the tranquility and harmony of the Grand View Garden.

Arriving at Tingyu Pavilion, the three of them sat down on the stone benches in the pavilion.

The wind chimes around the pavilion swayed in the wind, making crisp sounds, which intertwined with the rustling sound of the bamboo forest, like a beautiful piece of music.

"The sound of wind chimes here is very pleasant." Zhen Yuyin said softly, with a hint of intoxication in his eyes.

Zhen Huan smiled slightly, her eyes looking into the distance, as if she was recalling something.

"Shilan once said that the sound of wind chimes in Tingyu Pavilion can make people forget the troubles of the world."

Yan Lili took a deep breath, closed her eyes, listened quietly to the sound of the wind chimes, and felt the tranquility and harmony in the garden.

"Empress, Sister Yuyin, listen, the sound of the wind chimes seems to echo our heartbeats." Yan Lili said softly, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Zhen Huan and Zhen Yuyin also closed their eyes and felt it quietly.

Sure enough, their heartbeats and the sound of the wind chimes seemed to resonate at a certain frequency, making people feel an indescribable sense of tranquility and joy.

Several people accidentally came to Hengwu Garden, which was Feng Ruozhao's residence. The garden was full of exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance was rich and charming.

The layout of Hengwu Garden is exquisite and unique, with flowing water over small bridges and winding paths, giving people a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

"The flowers and plants here seem to carry a fairy air." Zhen Yuyin said softly. She gently touched a blooming peony, with admiration in her eyes.

Zhen Huan smiled slightly and said, "Hengwu Garden is indeed a rare quiet place in the garden. Yun Li once said that every blade of grass and every tree here seems to have a spirit."

Yan Lili nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and felt the spiritual energy in the garden.

"Practicing in such an environment will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort." There was a hint of yearning in her voice.

Then, they visited Daoxiang Village, which was An Lingrong’s residence. The garden was full of rice, presenting a scene of bumper harvest.

"The rice here seems to be fuller than that elsewhere." Yan Lili said softly as she observed the rice fields.

Zhen Huan nodded and said, "The rice in Daoxiang Village has a good harvest every year. This may also be a gift from the spiritual energy in the garden."

Zhen Yuyin said softly: "The tranquility here is so refreshing, as if you can hear the sound of rice growing."

Finally, they came to Yihong Courtyard, which was Yunli’s study. The courtyard was full of crabapples, and when the flowers bloomed, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.

"The crabapples here are so beautiful." Zhen Yuyin exclaimed.

Zhen Huan whispered, "The crabapple in Yihong Courtyard is Yunli's favorite. He once said that the beauty of the crabapple is like the face of a beautiful woman, intoxicating."

Yan Lili said softly: "The beauty of crabapple lies not only in its flowers, but also in its tenacious vitality."

As the sun sets, the sunset glow in the sky illuminates the Grand View Garden, covering the garden with a layer of golden veil.

The three of them took a nap in the study of Yihong Courtyard, sipped tea and talked about poetry, enjoying this rare quiet time.

On that day, An Lingrong, wearing a simple long dress, walked lightly through the path in the garden and came to Zhen Huan's residence.

Her face was weathered by the journey, but her eyes were still clear and bright, as if she could see through the mysteries of the world.

"Sister, Lingrong is back."

Zhen Huan was trimming a blooming peony in the courtyard. When she heard An Lingrong's voice, she put down the scissors in her hand, turned around, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Lingrong, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you."

An Lingrong walked forward and bowed respectfully.

"Sister, Ling Rong has been traveling abroad for several months. Today I came to report to you what I saw and heard."
