Chapter One Hundred and Eleven: Zi'er

  "Hehe, angels? It's okay to call them that, they're the spirits of dreams!" Mo waved her hand and those little angels flew over immediately, lining up neatly in mid-air. "Master, you're back!" A pretty little spirit who seemed to be their leader flew closer, her big round eyes blinking, with deep purple irises, wearing a similar purple gauze dress, with chubby arms and soft pink cheeks, so cute!

  As I stared at him, the little elf grinned at me and said: "Master, who is this beautiful sister? Never brought a sister before!" The corner of his mouth twitched: "Remember, this is your Princess Ruo, serve her well." "Hurray, welcome Princess Ruo! I am Elf Little Prince Zi'er, willing to serve you!" Zi'er flapped his wings, turned to his companions, and then opened his arms, saying loudly: "Everyone, let's welcome our Princess Ruo together!"

  Then all the little elves shouted in unison: "Welcome, Princess Ruo, welcome, Princess Ruo!" Zi'er turned back to me with a smile: "Would you like to watch our elf dance, Princess?" I smiled and nodded. Zi'er excitedly shouted: "That's great, finally someone is watching our elf dance!" All the little elves were thrilled.

  I couldn't help but stare at Mo Na, who was rubbing his forehead with a helpless expression. It seemed that these little guys had been suppressed for too long, and it must be that Mo Na usually didn't allow them to play around. I couldn't hold back my laughter: "Hahaha!" Zi'er saw me laughing so hard and also smiled mischievously.

  He then flew to Mu's side, chattering something in his ear. Mu listened expressionlessly, Zi'er with a pleading face, and after a while, Mu nodded lazily. Zi'er jumped three feet high excitedly, doing several flips before stopping. I don't know what they were discussing, but it must be related to their Spirit Dance.

  As expected, only to see Mu's long sleeves fluttering, an ancient zither appeared in front of everyone, and then Mu sat down, hands began to pluck the strings on the zither, a melodious tune flowed out, I understood, it turned out that Zi had just asked Mu to play the zither! Hehe! That makes sense, how can you dance without music? No wonder Mu had a helpless look earlier, I smiled and sat down in the soft chair prepared by Mu to appreciate.

  Zi'er led the little elves to start their elf dance. They flew up and down, back and forth, suddenly gathering together in a flower shape, and then scattering like butterflies. The sound of Mo's guqin was like flowing clouds and water, making people drunk with beauty. The elf dance was wonderful and unparalleled, leaving me dazzled.

  As the dance ended, I applauded and cheered: "You danced so well! You're all great!" Zi'er said happily: "Really? Princess Ruo, did we really dance well? But why doesn't our master like to watch us dance?" Pouting her small mouth, Zi'er glanced at Mo, who was indeed playing the zither with her eyes closed.

  I quickly comforted her: "No! He likes your spirit dance! Otherwise, why would he be so serious about playing the piano accompaniment? Besides, you think he didn't see it, but actually, he saw everything. Your master's abilities are really impressive!" "Really?" Zi'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Hmm, it's possible! Master can see without using his eyes. Hehe, you're so good! Princess!"

  "Never mind, don't call me princess anymore, I'm not a real princess! Just call me sister instead!" I feel strange when I hear someone calling me princess, it's like I've crossed into some kind of kingdom again. "Alright then, I'll just call you Ruo sister from now on!" Zi'er was quite straightforward and immediately changed her way of addressing me.

  I stood up, and Zi'er immediately smiled and said: "Yue sister, where do you want to go? I'll take you for a walk!" "Okay!" I looked at Mo, he nodded slightly, so I followed Zi'er forward.

  Through the Dream Garden, Zi'er led me to that magnificent palace, with purple glazed tiles, white palace walls, golden corridors, green silk windows, blue pines brushing against the eaves, jade railings surrounding the courtyard, fresh and elegant without losing its noble air. Upon entering the hall, a faint fragrance wafted before my nose, as if incense had been lit! I looked around and indeed saw a golden incense burner with misty incense rising gently, drifting in all directions. The interior decor was simple yet majestic, with an ancient charm.

  "Hey, sister, this place isn't fun. Let me take you to a more interesting place!" Zi'er waved her small and chubby arm and floated forward. I quickly followed her, out of the grand hall, through a winding corridor, and suddenly heard the sound of water gurgling. Not far away, a waterfall cascaded down from between the rocks, forming a clear brook in front of us. The trees on both sides were lush and green, with strange flowers blooming everywhere, and exotic grasses emitting fragrance. There were even flowers floating on the water, making it look even more serene. This was truly a great place to visit. By the side of the brook stood a pavilion, with intricately carved beams and pillars, looking very beautiful. I strolled over and entered the pavilion, gazing out at the waterfall hanging in front of me. The spot was perfect for admiring it. As I looked down at the flowing water, I discovered many colorful fish swimming about in it. And those fish seemed to have a spiritual quality, as they saw me looking at them, they all swam towards me, shaking their heads and tails, opening and closing their mouths, and even blinking their eyes. How amazing! I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hmm? Why did I feel like these little fish were also laughing? No way! I rubbed my eyes, and the fish in the water actually stuck out their fins to rub their eyes too. Heaven, this was just too incredible! I found it hard to believe.

  "Hey, sister, don't you think these fish are fun?" Zi'er saw me wanting to stretch out my hand but being afraid, and laughed, "They all have spiritual power! Be a bit bolder, they'll even shake hands with you!" I turned back to look at him: "Really? Fish can shake hands?"

  "These little things love to learn from others, you do what it will learn. Look, just now they learned from you, didn't they?" Zǐér stuck out her tongue and blinked her eyes, making funny faces at the water's surface. I stared intently at the fish in the water, and indeed, the little fish were also imitating Zǐér's funny faces.

  "This is too amazing!" I couldn't help but exclaim, "After all, it's the immortal realm, everything is so wonderful!" "Try stretching out your hand!" Zi'er encouraged me, and I slowly stretched out one hand. Those fish also slowly stretched out their fins on one side, and soon my hand was grasped by them. I looked at it with a mix of laughter and fright - those little creatures were shaking hands with me simultaneously, each finger having many fins on it. Hehe, is this how you shake hands? I smiled awkwardly.
