Fangzheng smiled . “It’s fine . Just continue the livestream later . This Penniless Monk won’t be by your side . ”
Zhu Lin said, “How can that do? Since you’re here, of course it’s my treat . I’ll lead the way! You’re my savior! I can be your guide . The tickets are starting to be sold . Let’s go and see the fireflies! If you like them, buy a plate back and cook them!”
Fangzheng was taken aback as he subconsciously asked, “Can fireflies be eaten?”
Zhu Lin laughed out loud . “I’m just joking! Greedy monk!”
Fangzheng: “…”
Squirrel pursed his lips in amusement . “Haha, Master, you lost to ignorance . ”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him . “This is called losing to trust . ”
Just as Zhu Lin had said, she paid for it .
Fangzheng was someone who tried to save if possible . Therefore, he allowed her to pay it since she was willing to . After all, he was thick-skinned and would not be embarrassed .
After entering the Firefly performance hall, Fangzheng’s smile suddenly froze . Squirrel was the same . The sensitive little guy subconsciously grabbed Fangzheng’s ear and whispered, “Master, why do I feel so nervous here? It feels like I’ve entered a morgue . ”
Zhu Lin rolled her eyes at Squirrel and said, “What are you talking about? To call such a beautiful place terrifying . Look at the lights . They are very pretty . ”
A service staff heard Zhu Lin’s words and smiled . “Our Hall of Illusions will provide you with a real journey of dreams . Walk forward, and you’ll come to the Firefly exhibit . That is a scene that we meticulously set up . You must enjoy yourself . ”
Zhu Lin smiled and nodded . “Since the money has been spent, we obviously have to take a look . Master, let’s go . ”
The service staff was taken aback . Master? She looked at Fangzheng . In her eyes, Fangzheng was just an ordinary person . She didn’t remember what he looked like since nothing stood out . Most importantly, he was definitely not a monk or a Daoist priest .
It was probably his nickname . The service staff mumbled inwardly .
After passing the service staff, Zhu Lin saw Fangzheng’s knitted brows and asked softly, “Master, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Fangzheng shook his head and said, “No . It’s just that the moment I entered, I’m feeling uncomfortable for some reason . Just like Jingkuan said, it’s like I’m walking into a morgue . It’s strange . ”
Zhu Lin was stunned . “How is that possible?”
Fangzheng said with a bitter smile, “This Penniless Monk also finds it impossible . However, the feeling is very real . Don’t you feel anything?”
Zhu Lin shook her head and said, “No, I just feel that this place is very beautiful… Perhaps their air-conditioning is too low . It’s not warm enough…”
Fangzheng nodded and did not say anything . He just observed his surroundings .
As more and more children came in, their laughter became louder and more lively . This only served to make Fangzheng feel even more uncomfortable . This was the first time he had such a feeling…
Squirrel didn’t think too much of it . Once there were more people, especially children who ran and shouted, his attention was immediately drawn by them . When he saw the children playing, he happily joined them in their silly antics . He became happy-go-lucky as well .
After passing through a door, the temperature rose significantly . At the same time, the scenery in front of them had also changed from artificial lighting to a man-made plastic garden .
At the entrance, the staff members stopped everyone from entering . They waited until enough people had cleared before opening the door .
Everyone waited obediently . Some of the children peeked in . It was pitch-black inside, and they could barely make out the layers of gauze covering the plants . The curtains separated the space inside and outside .
One of the female service staff said with a smile, “There’s not much point peeking in . You’ll only see the effects when you enter . Alright, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please take note . Please be civilized . We request that you not take photos, but if necessary, please do not turn on your flash . ”
Someone immediately frowned and said, “We can’t use the flash? It’s so dark inside . We can’t be able to capture anything . ”
The female service staff said, “Sorry, this is a rule . ”
Many people pursed their lips upon hearing this, clearly not taking it seriously .
Soon, everyone was gathered . The staff opened the door and said, “Please enter . The journey of dreams has begun . ”
Fangzheng followed the crowd and looked around curiously . As everyone entered, the lights behind them also turned off .
Zhu Lin subconsciously grabbed Fangzheng’s hand and said, “Master, follow me closely . I will protect you!”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes . You are protecting This Penniless Monk? Why are you trembling if you are that amazing?
The children around them were somewhat afraid . Some held the adults’ hand and shouted, “Daddy, I’m afraid . ”
Just as the parents were about to comfort him, someone said, “Look! Fireflies!”
Everyone looked around and saw that the pitch-black world suddenly lit up with green specks of light . It was like the stars in the night sky, embellishing the darkness .
Following that, fireflies lit up one after another . The pitch-black environment was also lit up by the light . Fireflies flew across the sky like shooting stars, causing the children to cheer and the adults to smile .
Squirrel also brandished his claws and shouted .
Taking advantage of the darkness, Fangzheng dispelled a portion of A Golden Millet Dream’s divine power . If he left it activated all the time, it would be a waste of his energy . With his principle of being thrifty, Fangzheng slowly dispelled his divine power until it was completely gone . Although his white clothes were rather eye-catching in the dark, everyone’s attention was on the fireflies . Naturally, no one noticed this figure in the crowd .
It was hard to tell if the fireflies had been awakened in an instant or for some other reason . They increased in number and lit up the surrounding space with a green glow . Some of the artificial plants were decorated with plastic flowers and plastic trees . It did give off a fairytale atmosphere . For a moment, many people kept exclaiming how worth it the tickets were .
However, when everyone was immersed in it, Zhu Lin realized that Fangzheng’s frown deepened . Hence, Zhu Lin poked Fangzheng’s waist and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
“Did you hear that?”
Zhu Lin was puzzled . “What did you hear?”
Fangzheng said, “The fireflies are crying . They are crying!”
Zhu Lin was stunned . “The fireflies are crying?”
Fangzheng nodded . “Yes . Although they are small and weak, their emotions are not small when they gather together . I can sense that they are crying . ”
Fangzheng could understand birds and beasts, but he couldn’t understand insects who transmitted information using pheromones or dancing . However, his mental strength was strong and his sixth sense was extremely sensitive . Fangzheng could sense the emotions of the fireflies, so he could sense their sorrow and tears .
Squirrel added, “I think I can feel it too . They are very sad . ”
Zhu Lin said in confusion, “But they’re fine . Why are they crying? Could it be because they don’t have freedom? I heard that birds wouldn’t be happy if they are locked up . They would be sad, and some would even die from hunger . ”
