Eps. 197 — Flower Overlay
Jian Chen opened his eyes with a painful head, the last thing he remembered before being unconscious was seeing his father severely injured.
"Where am I?"
Jian Chen looked at the surroundings but found he was in a foreign place, Jian Chen tried to get up with his head still hurting and understand the situation where he was now.
Jian Chen could be said to be on a land filled with flowers, he looked around and only found a flower bed as far as the eye could see.
There was nothing around Jian Chen, the same place was actually very beautiful yet this time was not the time to enjoy the sight of such flowers.
As Jian Chen tried to walk westward or sunset he only realized that there was no sun in the sky.
"Huh? Where'sisthis? Am I dead?"
Jian Chen became anxious because he thought he was in another world, of course every afternoon there must be sun but now the phenomenon does not occur in this flower bed.
The young man tried to communicate with Lily to find out the situation but the girl did not answer him, as he tried to the dantian Realm Jian Chen could not go there despite having fully concentrated.
Jian Chen scratched his non-itchy head before starting to walk in any direction as he also did not know which was north or south as everything looked the same.
A few steps he moved straight Jian Chen finally found a tree that stood alone.
The tree looked conspicuous in the distance due to being on a stretch of flower land, Jian Chen finally decided to go there.
When it was near the tree Jian Chen then heard a melodious sound that seemed to come from a musical instrument.
The sound was so beautiful and heartbreaking to those who heard it, Jian Chen even closed his eyes to hear the sound of the music.
While enjoying Jian Chen continued to step up, only when he reached the tree did Jian Chen discover there was someone sitting under the tree.
In terms of physical, the person is a woman, visible from her waist-long hair and has a slim body. The woman was also the one who made the melodious sound earlier, she was currently blowing a flute in her hand.
Jian Chen scratched his head, there was no other way he should ask the woman.
Jian Chen stepped closer and at that moment he finally saw the female face.
According to Jian Chen, the woman looked to be thirty years old. She has a beauty that is difficult for girls in general, maybe almost the same as Meily's level of beauty.
Jian Chen was slightly aghast as his gaze fell on the female's eyes. He did not expect the person in front of him to have golden eye color like him.
"Excuse me, do you know where this is?" Jian Chen asked with a little awkwardness.
The woman did not reply, she stared at Jian Chen for a moment before turning away and continued to play the melody of her flute. It was only after he finished that he stared at Jian Chen back with his beautiful golden eye color.
Just then Jian Chen realized how good her golden eyes might be like that of a woman, it was no wonder Meily and Jian Ya were always glued to him.
"You can play flute?" The woman thrust her flute at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen scratched his head before shaking slowly, he had never played the flute in his first or second life.
The woman smiled warmly making Jian Chen so slightly misbehaved, Jian Chen did not know the woman but strangely he felt to have a close bond between him and himself.
"Ehm, Auntie, do you know where this is?" Jian Chen again asked the previous question that the woman had not yet answered.
The woman slightly held back the laughter but was replaced with a faint smile. Jian Chen was not too sure yet he saw the woman was a little unhappy at being called so.
"There's no need to hurry, you'll leave this place when the time comes..." The woman spoke afterwards before sticking her lips to the flute again, making a melodious music.
Jian Chen scratched his head, he did not really understand the woman's intentions but the point was that he could not stay here. Jian Chen had to save his clan.
"Your clan is now safe, so is your father, they are all safe..." As if or indeed being able to read Jian Chen's mind, the woman replied before Jian Chen asked.
Jian Chen was startled, he took two steps back with a pale face, obviously once the woman read his mind.
The woman chuckled softly at Jian Chen's reaction but he did not dispute it any further.
"Isn't your name Jian Chen?"
Jian Chen scratched his nose, he felt the woman ask him something he knew but in the end Jian Chen just nodded. "True Auntie."
The woman smiled, "Chen'er, what food do you like the most?"
"Eh?" Jian Chen did not expect to be asked that. "I... I love seafood, sweet food too."
"Oh? Interesting..." The woman looked happy at Jian Chen's reply, she smiled warmly. "Then, what else do you like, hobbies, what are your hobbies?"
Jian Chen scratched his head. "Mh... Cook."
"Cooking? You can do it." The woman was a little unhappy but did not show it too much. "Then?"
"I'm..." Jian Chen twisted his brain. "I love the atmosphere of the sea, the night sky and the peace inside..."
"Waw, you like it, so do I..." The woman smilingly nodded before sticking the flute on her lips made another beautiful melody.
Jian Chen actually wanted to ask again but seeing that the woman did not seem willing to be disturbed, he continued to play his flute while Jian Chen waited for him to finish.
"Chen'er, do you have someone you like as a girl?"
Jian Chen coughed softly, not expecting the woman to ask so immediately. After thinking first he finally nodded.
"Oh, surprisingly, what's his name?" The woman was a little enthusiastic.
Jian Chen was naturally unwilling to speak, it was a privacy, after all he was too embarrassed to say so. Even if he was mentioned, he was sure that the woman would not know the girl Jian Chen liked.
As if or indeed being able to read Jian Chen's mind, the woman spoke back. "If you want to get out of here, Chen'er, you have to answer every question I ask, that's the only thing you can do to get out of here or be trapped forever."
Jian Chen was not sure of the woman's warning but he also did not want to take the risk, in the end he said it directly.
The female forehead wrinkled after hearing Jian Chen's reply before being replaced with a soft laugh while Jian Chen lowered his head, slightly embarrassed.
"Chen'er, don't be shy, for your face and talent it doesn't matter to like more than one girl. As long as you have to remember, don't play with women's feelings..."
The woman's suggestion was indeed good but it did not make Jian Chen any better, it was precisely the young man who was getting embarrassed.
