Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 308 - 155: Spring God’s Blessing

Celestial Balance Upper City, Huannan Celestial Street, Phoenix Perch Tower was set up early.

The floral landscaping here is the best in the entire Celestial Balance Upper City, even surpassing the grandeur of the Li Palace. This is the main venue for today’s Thousand Flowers and Lanterns celebration.

Zhuo Longxia hurriedly climbed Phoenix Perch Tower and walked straight into the dressing room.

The best makeup artists in all of Great Li were here, decorating and styling Fu Manman. Xianchan was also receiving the same treatment, looking strikingly beautiful, while staring blankly at a jar of flowers nearby. A bee was hovering among the flowers, searching for a resting spot.

Fu Manman glared and said, "Chan’Er!"

Xianchan quickly shrank her neck, but couldn’t resist turning her head back bit by bit. Taking advantage of Fu Manman’s inattention, she swallowed the bee in one gulp and then showed a satisfied expression.

Zhuo Longxia gazed at Fu Manman in the mirror, stunned for a moment, then murmured, "Has a fairy descended to the mortal world?"

Fu Manman blushed, "Sister Yue, please don’t say that!"

After spending two days together, Fu Manman became quite familiar with Zhuo Longxia, Wen Luo, and Liu Qingshan.

Zhuo Longxia laughed, "Liu Qingshan is still getting accustomed, she’ll be here soon. You two just need to coordinate a bit, feel the vibe."

Fu Manman’s makeup was finished. She donned a splendid, gold and red Phoenix Feather Robe, adorned with a grandiose Startled Swan Bun, a dab of vermilion between her brows, with her lips dyed red and her cheeks radiant. She stood up, walked to the window, slightly opened the shutter, peeked through the gap at the sea of people and flowers below, and froze for a moment.

Her face turned gloomy instantly, her voice soft and languid, "So many people."

Zhuo Longxia comforted, "Don’t worry. When you’re dancing, just imagine all those people as flowers."

"Okay."

Seeing the girl’s brow still furrowed with worry, Zhuo Longxia asked again, "Is there anything else on your mind?"

Fu Manman asked softly, "Sister, do you think I look good today?"

"Extremely beautiful." Zhuo Longxia said sincerely, "No one matches the grandeur of today’s blossoming scene better than you. People used to call the Flower Dispersal Envoy the Flower Fairy, I never thought much of it, but seeing you today, I am sure of that title."

"What about when I’m dancing?"

Zhuo Longxia laughed, "Even more breathtaking, surely leaving a prominent mark in the history of Great Li. After this year, it’ll be hard to see another Flower Dispersal Envoy like you."

"But..."

"But what?"

Fu Manman stayed silent, her frown deepening.

Zhuo Longxia, once a young girl herself and sensitive to such matters, guessed and smiled, "Do you have someone special in your heart, little sister?"

Fu Manman’s neck tensed up immediately.

When it came to this subject, she was really bad at pretending.

"I see, my little sister feels regretful that today, when you’re dancing, your special someone won’t be there to see it." Zhuo Longxia said.

Fu Manman wasn’t very shy about it, taking this feeling quite seriously, "Yes."

"Don’t worry. There are always image records of the Thousand Flowers Festival every year. Besides, I have already prepared a top-grade Cloud-Reflecting Stone right here in Phoenix Perch Tower to capture your form up close." Zhuo Longxia laughed, "I’ll give it to you, and you can hand it to your special someone. I refuse to believe anyone could remain unmoved."

Fu Manman’s worry melted away, but she quickly became nervous again, "Can I really dance well?"

"Don’t worry. Trust my judgment: in the thousands of years of Great Li, no one can dance better than you."

At this moment, Liu Qingshan entered, just in time to hear these words, and smiled, "Indeed. Manman, have confidence, you are the best." She paused for a moment, "Only a pity..."

"Pity?"

A tinge of regret flashed in Liu Qingshan’s eyes, "If only Jiang Nianshu could play music for you, this Thousand Flowers Festival would truly become an unparalleled legend."

In Buxu City, Fu Manman had heard of Jiang Nianshu’s name from Hongyu.

He was the greatest musician in the history of Great Li.

She couldn’t help but inquire, "How good is Jiang Nianshu’s music?"

An infinite longing appeared in Liu Qingshan’s eyes, "Heavenly sound, melody of the fairies, rarely heard by the mortal world."

"That... good?"

"Yes, just that good." Liu Qingshan returned to her senses and smiled, "Alright Manman, let’s coordinate one last time, just to warm up."

"Okay."

...

Across the street from Phoenix Perch Tower stood a slightly shorter, yet luxuriously built high-rise, complete with extended eaves. It was a viewing platform prepared specifically for dignitaries.

On the highest floor, Ye Yixian was explaining the origins of the Thousand Flowers Festival to Wei Changkong.

After listening, Wei Changkong was captivated and sighed, "Great Li is truly a blessed place. To have born these Four Seasons Gods, the Spring God among them."

Ye Yixian smiled, "It’s uncertain whether the Spring God was blessed by Great Li, or Great Li was blessed by the Spring God, for such longevity."

Ye Wuyue leaned against the window sill, gazing idly at the sea of people and flowers below, "Sigh—"

"Old Shijiu, what are you sighing about again?" Ye Yixian asked.

Ye Wuyue said, "Manman doesn’t reply to my letters."

Ye Yixian’s brow furrowed with a bit of anger, "You’ve changed your affections again?"

Ye Wuyue said, "Don’t think of me that way. I see Manman as a friend, and if you write to a friend who doesn’t reply, wouldn’t you feel sad too, big brother?"

"Perhaps they never saw you as a friend."

"Tch!"

Wei Changkong asked, "The ’Manman’ Nineteen Princess mentioned, is she Junior Sister Fu Manman?"

"Yes, exactly." Ye Wuyue’s eyes lit up as she asked, "Young Master Wei, do you know what Manman usually likes? I need to prepare a gift for her for our next meeting. Last time we parted too hastily."

Wei Changkong shook his head, "When Junior Sister Manman was in the Eternal Immortal Sect, she hardly spoke to anyone; she has a very introverted personality."
