Chapter 244.1: Cloud Flowers House (1/2)

“This guqin is known as Mountain’s Clouds. It is said to be made in ancient times by a highly skilled artisan. The frame was made from the wood of the Phoenix Tree and the strings from the tendons of a Sea Dragon. Hence, the sound of this guqin contains natural enchanting qualities. A long time ago, there was a guqin demon that used it precisely for such purposes,” explained Bai Lianhua. (A guqin demon is a person that had such a fanatic love for the guqin that it drove him mad (during cultivation) and caused qi deviation)

“Then isn’t that a magic guqin?” Tang Doudou was very shocked to hear of such a legend. It made her more convinced that this space-time had cultivators!

There were definitely cultivators. Perhaps those cultivators made up the Seven Great Saint Tribes. What else could explain those strange methods of theirs?

Just as her thoughts were wandering off, Bai Lianhua slowly continued, “Afterwards, this guqin somehow passed through many hands and eventually fell into the hands of the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce. During one auction, someone won the bid on the guqin, then gifted it to Qing Moran.”

The Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce often auctioned all sorts of rare and precious items so it wasn’t strange that this weird guqin was also auctioned.

Tang Doudou thought Bai Lianhua had finished speaking and her thoughts started wandering off again. There were plenty of rare and strange things around and she wasn’t that interested in this Mountain’s Clouds either. Just as she was about to suggest strolling somewhere else, Bai Lianhua hooked her with her next words.

“Back then, this incident had caused quite a stir. Mountain’s Clouds isn’t just a guqin, it contained a huge secret. It was said to be related to the ancient cultivators…”

“Cultivators?” Upon hearing this word, Tang Doudou’s eyes instantly lit up. She hadn’t expected for her guess to actually hit the mark! “What’s a cultivator?”

Bai Lianhua explained, “Actually, in the era before ours, there was another type of existence, which were cultivators! It’s said that cultivators were like gods that could create flames and water from nothing. The stronger ones could even move mountains and part seas. However, something happened later and all the cultivators disappeared. There are also barely any records left documenting the existence of the cultivators. If it weren’t for the implicit information left in some things, we wouldn’t even know that these people once existed.”

“This Mountain’s Clouds is a very good proof for their existence. It’s said that as long as one inserts enough inner strength into it, a fire red dragon would appear from Mountain’s Clouds…” (dragon refers to Chinese dragons, those long ones)

“Something that magical can happen?” The curiosity that had originally faded once again surged up. “Then that means Qing Moran pretty much possesses an ancient spirit tool?”

The term spirit tool was something she saw when she was reading novels on the web.

Bai Lianhua’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, it’s a spirit tool!”

“Tsk tsk…” Tang Doudou clucked her tongue. What a waste. Although it was a spirit tool, its abilities couldn’t be fully utilized in the hands of a simple performer. However, exactly who gifted it to Qing Moran? His actions were sure lavish.

During this time, a lot of people had rushed into the pleasure quarters. Bai Lianhua who was watching seemed tempted too. She was just about to suggest going in when Qing Yu stopped her. “Lady Doudou, it’s already quite late, so let’s head back!”

Tang Doudou gave her a strange look. Didn’t they just come out?

So Qing Yu hugged her stomach and said, “I must’ve eaten something bad. My stomach hurts.”

A large sweatdrop appeared on Tang Doudou’s head. Couldn’t she use a different tactic?

However, why did she want them to head back all of a sudden? She clearly seemed to be enjoying the lively atmosphere as well!

She only started acting strangely after seeing Qing Moran.

Qing Yu, who was usually very clever and cute, actually made the remark that ‘she was nothing but an entertainer.’ It was clear from this that she strongly disliked Qing Moran!
