The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 205 – Queen Fairy
Lian Huanran did not immediately reply, but he adjusted his breathing first. Then, with a slight stammer, Lian Huanran told him what had happened. The Lian Huanran test is related to memory.
When Lian Huanran started her test, all of Lian Huanran's memories disappeared. He did not remember his name, nor why he was there.
Those days of emptiness and emptiness passed unnoticed to others. But for Lian Huanran himself, a day feels like several years. Without any memory, Lian Huanran really did not know what to do. He simply observed the normal and happy lives of those around him, clenching his hands with envy in his heart.
Lian Huanran tries to find clues about herself, and tries to remember. But his efforts did not produce results. Lian Huanran was unable to find any clues. It was as if he did not come from that world, so there was no trace of him. Two months passed when Lian Huanran struggled. Just when Lian Huanran began to think of suicide, for the umpteenth time, a young man approached her.
In short, Lian Huanran was offered a very tempting thing for him back then, if he agreed to the young man's deal, he would regain his memories. Surely, Lian Huanran did not trust the young man completely, however, he decided to find out what he had to do to regain his memory. Although it might just be a glimmer of false hope, there was at least hope that Lian Huanran, who was already desperate at that moment.
Lian Huanran was taken to a place where there was an old man lying motionless on a stone pedestal. The young man beside Lian Huanran told her to choose, “Choose, your memory, or the memory of that old man who was about to die.”
Hearing the young man's words, Lian Huanran shuddered in horror, and at the same time, wanted to answer his 'Remember', even though the young man's offer was clearly absurd. For some reason, back then, Lian Huanran could not think clearly. He can only rely on his emotions to make a choice.
Lian Haocun looked at Lian Huanran whose head was bowed. From his attitude, Lian Haocun had already guessed what choice Lian Huanran had taken. However, the next word from Lian Huanran made Lian Haocun narrow his eyes, narrowing them,
“I did not accept the offer, although I could not think clearly, I just. Plus, even though the old man looked like he could die at any time, I felt, he wanted to die with his memories.”.
Lian Haocun's expression did not change listening to Lian Huanran's decision which could be counted only by people who had very noble and kind hearts.
Despite not receiving a response from his Big Brother, Lian Huanran was not upset. He was already feeling very grateful to have Lian Haocun as his mentor, as well as his family.
Then, Lian Huanran's attention began to divert to Qian Wenwu who had just made it back from the test. Lian Huanran immediately took care of the dazed-looking Qian Wenwu.
Meanwhile, Lian Haocun remained standing on the spot. His ocean-like blue eyes narrowed, resulting in his cold aura strengthening. Lian Haocun's gaze also sharpened, so that no one could guess what was on his mind.
‘He's too mysterious!’ Inner Adeline looked at Lian Haocun who was emitting a cold aura all over her body.
Qian Wenwu did not take long to regain his full consciousness. And, after Qian Wenwu was fully aware, Adeline along with a group of fairies, started their short speech, which Lian Haocun thought was just a waste of time.
Adeline, “Alright, we've reached the end of this announcement! The person who won the test was...!”
“Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu!!”
Instantly heard cheers from the group of fairies behind Adeline, they seemed to be happy with the success of Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu. Meanwhile, Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu were shocked because Lian Haocun did not manage to pass the test.
Suddenly, Lian Huanran shouted confusedly, “Hah!?”
Adeline said with more detail and emphasis, “Queen Peri said, she wants to meet the three of you!”
Just when Adeline finished saying that, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu were teleported to another place. The place is a green, beautiful and beautiful garden. The air was soothing, and calming.
Then, a beautiful woman, with long green hair, and golden-colored eyes, looked at Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu alternately. His thin brows trembled every few moments. Her nose looked petite, and her thin lips made her look even more charming. Her slender body was clad in a light green simple dress, which looked very suitable for her.
Looking at the beautiful woman, Lian Huanran's face flushed slightly. This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman. Qian Wenwu also reacted the same, but his reaction could be said to be natural, because he was a shy person. Only Lian Haocun did not react at all, even his cold aura did not diminish in the slightest.
A faint smile, filled with charm appeared on the woman's face. He walked towards the three of them, and said in a soft tone, “Include me, Vivian, the Fairy Queen called by Adeline.”
Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu looked surprised, because, the appearance of the Fairy Queen was too different from the fairies they had met before. His body was about the size of a human, and he did not have the wings that fairies had.
The Fairy Queen seemed to understand Lian Huanran's doubts, however, she did not explain anything. Instead the Fairy Queen invited Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran, and Qian Wenwu to tour the park while chatting. The Fairy Queen's welcome was warm, and friendly.
Throughout the garden, the Fairy Queen also introduced many types of plants, which Lian Huanran listened to carefully and seriously. In fact, Lian Huanran seemed impatient to immediately take out her notebook, and take down everything the Fairy Queen said. Time passed quickly for Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu, and without feeling it, the four of them had already surrounded the entire park.
“Does traveling around it feel fun?” Ask the Fairy Queen in a pleasant gentle tone.
Lian Huanran and Qian Wenwu nodded their heads. Lian Haocun remained silent. So Lian Huanran had to say, “Sorry, my brother is not very good at expressing his emotions, so there is no need to care about his opinion, haha.”
The Fairy Queen nodded in understanding while putting on a gentle smile. Then he said, “I haven't said this, congratulations Lian Huanran, and Qian Wenwu for successfully passing our test.. As for Lian Haocun, unfortunately you didn't make it through, but no problem, everyone will take different decisions.”
Lian Huanran smiled, and said thank you and asked for an explanation as to why Lian Haocun did not escape. Qian Wenwu also thanked him, and looked curious about Lian Haocun as well. Whereas, Lian Haocun did not respond, he simply looked at the Fairy Queen with a sharp gaze. Lian Haocun seemed to dislike the Fairy Queen.
The Fairy Queen chuckled lightly, yet she did not explain further. Then, the Fairy Queen said, “You can ask about it to her person directly. How about we now.., discuss about, your gift?”
Lian Huanran's eyes sparkled, it was hard to cover up how excited he was. The Fairy Queen who saw the elegance of Lian Huanran, smiled gently again. Then the Fairy Queen flicked her finger, and three objects fell from the sky together. The amazing thing was, the three objects landed right in front of Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran, and Qian Wenwu.
The Queen smiled gently again, and said, “This is a gift for you. As for Haocun, just think of it as a bonus..”
'To ease this child's frustration as well...' Continue the Fairy Queen inwardly. It seems that Lian Haocun's tough attitude from now on, misunderstood the Fairy Queen as a sulking child.
