Chapter 187: Chapter 186: You’re so young, you listen to opera?

Mianmian got on the Ferris wheel.

Three children, a dog plus two little chicks, all went round and round, ascending with the Ferris wheel.

Below, Zhou Jing and Cui Liang, holding hands, were also very nervous.

Both nearing 50, having grown up in the city from a young age, they had always felt some things weren’t worth believing in, yet today, they vaguely felt their worldview was about to be overturned.

"So this is how you play with this, haha." Mianmian, sitting in the Ferris wheel, pressed her little face against the transparent glass and looked down.

Liao An and Ying Miao also leaned against the glass to look down.

They had previously followed Su Chenfei back to North City on a private plane and were already amazed by the high-tech experience of flying in the sky; now, sitting on the Ferris wheel didn’t feel that special to them.

However, Bai Bai, as a White Wolf Demon, naturally loved the feeling of flying, and kept howling excitedly.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang, the two chicks, were too short to see outside the plane’s windows before. Now that the Ferris wheel’s glass was quite low, the two little ones stood on Bai Bai’s head, turning their chicken heads around curiously to look down.

The Ferris wheel rose slowly, while in its very center, a dark shadow moved with the cabins of the Ferris wheel, always standing at the highest point.

As Mianmian’s cabin was about to reach the top, the bodyguard controlling the Ferris wheel, timing it just right, stopped it.

In an instant, a big, mouth open Xuying appeared in front of Mianmian!

Sharp teeth combined with a terrifying degree of opening made Mianmian shrink her neck a little, afraid of being

The dark shadow stretched its neck, its mouth open making exaggerated expressions. Sometimes its eyes would become large, other times its mouth, and then it would stick out its tongue, reaching towards the faces of Mianmian, Liao An, and Ying Miao.

Ying Miao looked at the dark shadow with an expressionless face, and then at Mianmian, without moving. Liao An did the same, they both wanted to see what Mianmian was going to do.

Bai Bai and the two chicks acted as if they didn’t see the dark shadow at all, still staring down below.

The dark shadow didn’t understand.

It had been scaring children in this place for so long, always reaping a great harvest of screams and cries, so why wasn’t it working this time? These children clearly saw it, but pretended they didn’t.

What was going on?

Mianmian curiously watched the dark shadow make faces. She had been enjoying the view until the dark shadow suddenly stopped and its Dark Qi slowly dissipated. After a while, a face with red eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and red lipstick was revealed.

Aside from the makeup on the face, the ghost wore a Ruyi crown on its head, with pearl flowers on both sides, dressed in fish scale armour with a yellow undergarment, clearly a theatrical costume.

Mianmian found the outfit familiar. Her little brain worked furiously, trying to remember, until she finally recalled the memory associated with this outfit.

"You are Yu Ji, Yu Ji, right, right!" Little Bun was delighted, clapping her chubby little hands and standing up, "Ever since I, accompanied the king through campaigns..."

She mimed with her little hands, struck a pose and sang a line, her big sparkling eyes looking at the ghost dressed as Yu Ji.

This act left the "Yu Ji" ghost stunned on the spot.

When he had revealed this look, it was intended to scare the little one in front of him. After all, he had done it before and even scared the amusement park’s workers who entered late at night.

Anyone who saw him would become so frightened they’d try to run away, and while bored, he learned a few ghostly tricks to let those people know this place was off-limits.

This method had been foolproof numerous times, but who would have thought that this time, the children wouldn’t cry, but instead recognize the appearance from his life before death.

"You’re so young, do you also listen to operas?" Operas, well, that’s something adults understand, kids are just there to see the spectacle.

Mianmian nodded, "My mom likes the opera ’Farewell My Concubine’, she always uses Illusion Talismans to let me listen to it."

Speaking of this, Mianmian became a little unhappy.

Mom is still sleeping, and she hasn’t listened to opera with her in such a long time.

In the beginning, Mianmian always found the singsong of opera quite strange, it was only after reading more books and learning about many things that she finally understood what the opera was singing about. However, the true meaning of opera was still a mystery to the young Mianmian.

Mom also said that back when Dragon Country wasn’t yet called Dragon Country, Bai Country wanted to become the master of this land and did many bad things.

In the old North City, there was a famous actor, Phoenix Fairy, who played Yu Ji. When his entire troupe heard that people from Bai Country wanted to watch their performance, they set themselves on fire while singing for the Bai Country’s officers.

At that time, buildings were made of wood, and once the oil was poured, the teahouse where they sang opera immediately burst into fierce flames.

People said that the men from Bai Country, knowing they couldn’t escape, did very bad things to Phoenix Fairy before they were burned to death.

She was two years old at the time and had once asked her mom why they didn’t go and beat up the bad guys from Bai Country.

Mom said it was a calamity for mortals, and they all got the message that they shouldn’t intervene. If they took clear and open action in the war, it wouldn’t just affect mortals but could lead to even greater turmoil.

Mianmian at that time didn’t quite understand, and even now she doesn’t really get it.

She felt that if it were her, she couldn’t take action openly, but she would still quietly take care of the bad guys who entered Dragon Country!

"Liking opera, that’s nice."

The voice of Ghost brought Mianmian back from her memories.

She looked up at Ghost standing before her and asked, "My name is Su Mianmian, may I ask for your esteemed name?"

Little Bun posed with a flourish of a bow common among travelers.

This gesture elicited a covered chuckle and a curtsy from the ghost wearing the guise of Yu Ji, whose graceful figure expressed a delicate femininity, "Esteemed name, I’m hardly deserving. I am Phoenix Fairy, merely a performer who died here."

Mianmian’s eyes instantly widened.

Was this the very same Phoenix Fairy that Mom had spoken of?

The look of surprise on Little Bun’s face was caught by the worldly Phoenix Fairy, who with another laugh said, "Looking at your expression, could you actually know me?"

Probably realizing that the little child in front of him knew about opera, Phoenix Fairy inadvertently slipped into character.

He had been here so long, too lonely.

"My mom knows of you!" Mianmian replied to Phoenix Fairy, thinking that no one could save him since he had died, and a bashful pink blush colored her cheeks, "You, you, you were very brave. You burned a lot of bad guys, right?"

Now it was Phoenix Fairy’s turn to stare at Mianmian with wide eyes.

Already adorned with makeup and exquisitely beautiful, such an expression made him seem even more innocently charming.

"You, you even know about that matter," he remarked with a sense of wonder before smiling, "It seems that I didn’t die in vain, at least someone remembers me."

Mianmian clenched her fists, "Of course, people remember you! Mom said you were a hero, and later, many people recounted your story to one another."

The word hero seemed to remind Phoenix Fairy of something, and he stood there, caught in his memories.

Mianmian, well-mannered, didn’t interrupt and swung her little feet as she waited for Phoenix Fairy to come back to reality.

Phoenix Fairy wasn’t a malicious ghost that harmed people; the Dark Qi around him wasn’t from harming lives after he became a ghost.

When the cabin was very quiet, Liao An suddenly said, "Little Auntie, there’s something coming."

Ying Miao didn’t speak but looked through the glass roof of the cabin up at the sky.

And Dahuang, Xiaohuang, and Bai Bai also started to bark.
