I Become A Peach Blossom Fairy
I'm the Spirit of Peach Flowers?
...-----+-----+-----+-----...
Mei Hua felt she was dreaming, a very long dream.
In his dream he saw a little girl wearing a pink Qipao gardening in the backyard with her Grandpa.
Joking, laughing and joking, the two looked very happy spending time together.
The old grandfather showed a seed to his granddaughter, and the little girl cried out in excitement when she saw the seed her grandfather showed.
Apparently the seeds were the seeds of the Peach Flower Tree.
The little girl was very fond of Peaches, and loved to eat peaches, so she was very enthusiastic and eager to plant them.
"Grandfather, according to the myth if we plant a Peach Flower Tree with a sincere heart, there will be a spirit born from that tree. Later the spirit will grant any request from the person who planted it, is it true?".
"Haha... It's just a myth. Hua'er, don't trust her too much".
"But Hua'er wants to try it".
"Then try it, and see if it's real".
The Grandfather patted the granddaughter's hair softly, his wrinkled face smiling full of tolerance and love.
When the sun was shining, the Grandfather walked into the house to rest for a while, before leaving he told his granddaughter, Hua'er, not to forget to water the other plants.
The little girl obediently nodded. She hummed happily while enjoying her gardening time.
After her Grandfather left, the little girl quietly fused her hands together and made a gesture of prayer.
Right in front of the ground planted with Peach Flower Tree Seeds, he uttered his most sincere plea.
Oh...Peach Flower Fairy.
Please take care of my grandfather as long as I'm not here. Tomorrow I will return with my parents to the Capital City, and my Grandfather will be alone in the Village.
I'm so worried, Grandpa's health hasn't been so good lately. I knew the illness had no cure and no doctor could cure it.
Even so I still hope at least Grandpa won't feel too sick, I still want to celebrate the new year with Grandpa in the years to come.
Please take care of Grandpa for me, Fairy Peach Flower.
Instead, I offered half my life. Please use half my life to be medicine for Grandpa...
The next day the little girl parted reluctantly from her Grandfather and followed her two parents back to the Capital.
After the girl left, the Peach Flower Tree planted in the backyard began to grow at an astounding speed.
Seven years, it only took seven years for the seedlings that his Grandfather and grandson planted to grow into a large, sturdy, and beautiful Peach Tree.
The Peach Tree had a Spirit in it, when it was still a seed she had heard the little girl praying to her, and the Peach Tree Spirit certainly wanted to grant the little girl a prayer.
With her magical abilities she cut off half the lifespan of little girl Hua'er, and used it as a medicine for her Grandfather.
The Spirit Peach Tree did its job well and kept its promise.
Just....
The spirit of the Nascent Peach Tree was still too innocent and did not understand the rules that prevailed in the three realms.
He didn't know if what he was doing was actually breaking the taboo.
The Spirit of the Peach Flower does not know if reality is always different from hope. As a Spirit bound to nature, interfering in the affairs of the mortal world, changing one's destiny and living one's death was a grave mistake. And what he has done is in violation of the laws of nature.
In fact, little girl Hua'er is destined not to have a long life.
Since he used half his age to exchange for his Grandfather's health, his lifespan became unstable.
Cutting off half his short life was tantamount to killing him.
So before little girl Hua'er could grow up, she had died from a deadly disease.
Meanwhile, in the village.
The Grandfather who knew his beloved grandson had died before him, was devastated and fell in sorrow.
He never expected to become the white-haired old man who sent away his black-haired grandson.
Because too late in grief he became reluctant to eat and drink. In an instant his aged body became older. It didn't take long for his originally good health to fall for the worse.
The disease has a cure, but old age does not. Death will happen sooner or later, and age is proof.
The house of Grandfather became deserted after he left, no one to look after and take care of his house. The house of the Grandfather became dark, gloomy and dirty, filled with pests and insects.
The only color left there was the presence of the lush and beautiful Peach Flower Tree.
Peach Tree is so beautiful and beautiful. The stems are brownish in color, the flowers are silvery pink in color, and the fruit is very sweet and fresh. If you are nearby, you will smell an intoxicating aroma that reminds people of spring.
However, behind her dazzling beauty, there was a formless spirit figure crying inside.
The Spirit is always crying and wailing. His heart was full of guilt. After the death of the two good-natured humans who had planted it he slowly understood everything.
He should not grant the little girl's request, he should not interfere with the human life and death cycle, he should not interfere...
He made a terrible mistake, he sinned.
The Spirit of the Peach Flower could only weep bitterly, he cried all the time, for up to four seasons alternately, until the flowers withered and fell, he never stopped crying.
Even until now....
...-----+-----+-----+-----...
Mei Hua opened both her eyes. In the confusion both his blue pupils were wet from tears and shrouded in mist.
"Dreams were...."
The dream he saw felt so real. It was as if he had seen and experienced it himself.
The Grandfather's affection for his granddaughter, Hua'er's little Girl's persistence to cure her Grandfather's illness, and the guilt the Peach Flower Spirit felt.
It all looks real.
Mei Hua wiped her tears, she stood up and walked towards the river.
Staring at her appearance meticulously, Mei Hua opened her mouth.
"Am I the Spirit of the Peach Flower?".
Mei Hua's heart was full of doubt. He initially did not understand why he could experience such a strange dream just now, but after thinking continuously he began to understand something.
The Spirit of the Peach Tree was itself.
Or rather the body he was clinging to was that of the original Peach Tree Spirit.
And the dream was not just a dream, but a piece of memory of this body.
Now that Mei Hua understood if she was not just carelessly reborn, it turned out that her soul had kept the body of the Spirit Peach Tree that had long been empty without a spirit.
The piece of memory that appeared in her dream earlier made Mei Hua more receptive to all of her truths.
Mei Hua smiled.
He patted his chest and stared at the reflection of his face on the surface of the water with a gentle smile.
"I know you're sad and sorry about the little girl's death. But I don't think this is all your fault, and it's nobody's fault".
Little girl Hua'er and her grandfather have done you good, and you also want to repay their kindness. Although the way is wrong, but it cannot cover up the reality if you just want to return the favor.
"So don't be sad anymore, please free your heart and soul from this pain"
"And thank you for giving me permission to keep your body, I will definitely use it well".
Mei Hua did not know whether the soul belonging to the Peach Tree Spirit still existed in this body or not. But clearly he still wanted to express the sincerity of his heart from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly as the spring breeze blew, Mei Hua's long hair swayed slowly following the direction of the wind, and several petals of flowers were scattered in the sky, circling in a circle.
Mei Hua closed her eyes, enjoying the gentle breeze caressing her cheeks.
Together with the sound of the wind blowing, a soft yet beautiful voice echoed beside her ears.
"Together, and thank you too..."
After that the wind gradually stopped and disappeared. Mei Hua opened her eyes, looked at the night sky that never changed and smiled.
