Chapter 333 Nightingale Circus

Although the two were on their way to the circus, Xia Yue kept her hands on her phone and her eyes never left it.

"...I finally understand. You're not uninterested in phones at all. You're just lazy. Too lazy to accept new things. Once you're forced to accept them, you'll become addicted!"

Li Muhan lectured him the entire way: "To put it bluntly! You have a passive personality! You have no self-control! It's just like you have a sweet tooth!"

But Xia Yue just glanced at him briefly, and then said one word lightly: "Oh."

"So I've decided, starting tomorrow, I'm going to strictly control your daily routine! From now on, you can't eat sweets every day, and you'll have to put an anti-addiction screen on your phone."

But before Li Muhan could say half of his words, the girl behind him suddenly jumped onto his back.

"what?!"

Li Muhan could only carry it on his back.

"...Looking at your phone, too busy to walk, carry me."

"I just said a lot! Do you realize the harm that cell phones can do to you? You might become nearsighted!"

"I'm an anomaly. I'm not nearsighted. Also, I won't get fat no matter how much sweets I eat."

"...Do you know how many women this sentence will offend? Am I spoiling you too much..."

Although he said so, Li Muhan still obediently carried the petite girl on his back and walked towards the circus.

In fact, Li Muhan has always been curious about one thing, which is Xia Yue’s weight.

Once, Li Muhan accidentally saw Xia Yue's file records.

"Tianhai City Special Management Bureau's special anomaly, anomaly level, natural disaster level, file number TZ0135, type, vampire, code name, Xia Liya, current name, Xia Yue, height 158cm, weight, normal state 42kg, vampire state 172.5kg."

When Li Muhan saw the file record, he was so happy that he went crazy, because there was a bracket after the 180kg, which said that the net weight of the wings was 140kg. Then he was kicked out by the staff of the Archives Management Section while he couldn't hold back his laughter.

These are sold in both decimal and whole numbers, and by weight. It makes me laugh to death. No wonder when I was possessed by the devil for the first time, Balna was nailed by Xia Yue's wings and couldn't move at all. It turns out it was because they were too heavy, hahahahahaha.

But that night, when Li Muhan used this incident to mock Xia Yue, he was tortured all night long. After that, he never dared to use this incident to tease this vampire again.

But now... maybe it's because the power of the devil has strengthened his body, these 42kg are so light on his back.

However, I have never experienced the soft feeling of a girl's chest against a boy's back as described in novels. What a pity.

Hearing Li Muhan sigh, Xia Yue seemed to understand something. She angrily tapped Li Muhan on the back of the head with her phone and said, "I'm still growing."

“…Alright.”

Li Muhan focused his attention on the destination.

When they finally arrived, a large tent came into view. It was not an ordinary tent, but a huge building carefully designed in the form of a tent. It was like a miniature luxurious opera house, solemn and interesting.

The colorful ceiling and various decorations complement each other, and the smiling clown at the door who attracts tourists all reveal that this is the Nightingale Circus mentioned on the poster.

This circus was obviously quite popular. Before getting close, one could see a long winding queue gathered at the entrance. After asking a couple who were also in line, the couple they had just met at the shooting range, Li Muhan learned that there was a performance today that was the highlight of the circus.

"The song of the nightingale?"

After hearing the name, Li Muhan asked curiously, "Could it be that they really have tamed a singing nightingale? That's interesting. No wonder it's called the Nightingale Circus."

“So many people…”

Even Xia Yue, who had been looking at her phone, couldn't help but look around at this moment, but she had no intention of getting off and walking, and still lay on Li Muhan's back.

"Li Muhan, what is a circus?"

Xia Yue suddenly asked.

"You've lived this long and never seen a circus?"

Li Muhan asked back. Xia Yue was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then shook her head: "I don't like places with too many people, so I will deliberately avoid them."

"The circus is here to bring joy to everyone! A paradise of happiness for everyone!!"

Before Li Muhan could answer, a clown-looking man jumped out and jumped happily around Li Muhan and Xia Yue.

Then he looked at Xia Yue.

"Miss, if this is your first time watching a circus performance, I promise you will love it!"

Li Muhan was startled by him, but Xia Yue seemed to have no reaction.

"Oh my...you two..."

The clown seemed to be somewhat interested in the two of them. He touched his exaggerated big nose and looked at them.

"...Um...you two...could it be that..."

"What's up?"

Li Muhan turned around and looked at the clown. He felt a hint of strangeness that had just flashed in the clown's eyes under the heavy makeup.

"Um...hahahaha, sorry, sir, ma'am, I'm very sorry for my rude behavior just now, because this lady is really... so cute. Well, I hope this performance will bring you a wonderful experience."

The clown bowed to Li Muhan comically, then turned and left.

"Li Muhan...he..."

Xia Yue pointed at the clown's back as he left, hesitating for a long time, and finally said something.

"He has a huge nose."

"Uh...that's not a real nose, it's a prop. Never mind, it's our turn soon, let's buy the tickets first."

Li Muhan shook his head and dispelled his doubts. He was a little worried that he might be a little too nervous.

Soon the team started to enter the venue, but unexpectedly, the clown was still at the ticket gate. In order to express his apology for his previous behavior, he actually waived the tickets for Li Muhan and Xia Yue.

Li Muhan felt uneasy again, but he didn't say anything. He led Xia Yue inside the building and found two places with good views to sit down.

"I heard this circus is touring all over the country! They never stay in one place for more than five days. But now it seems that the bigwigs in Hepingjing City have made a deal and they will temporarily set up a permanent location at the theme park for commercial performances."

Unexpectedly, the couple was sitting next to Li Muhan. Maybe this is fate. After listening to the man's explanation, Li Muhan nodded and could only sigh that he had not surfed the Internet for a long time and was not sensitive to these things at all.

It seems that I am lucky this time, Li Muhan thought so, and suddenly, she found that Xia Yue seemed a little abnormal.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Looking at Xia Yue, who was as restless as a small animal and would occasionally look up to sniff the air around her, Li Muhan asked worriedly.

"There's a...very uncomfortable aura. Can you feel it?"

"I felt it the moment I walked in, but... I have no idea what kind of aura it is."

Li Muhan replied.

"...I've lived for a long time, and I've seen a lot of things in this world, but this kind of aura...is the first time I've felt it."

Seeing Xia Yue so alert, Li Muhan prepared to get up with some worry.

"Or we should just leave."

Just as Li Muhan was about to take Xia Yue's hand and leave quietly, the lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, leaving only a mysterious silence.

Then, a heart-shaking roar of an elephant sounded, like the horn of nature. Then, bright colored lights suddenly lit up everything around like a meteor shower, waking the audience from the darkness.

A visual and auditory feast began. The building's roof suddenly opened, and Li Muhan was shocked to discover that it was still afternoon, yet the sky had opened to reveal a sea of stars and night. Was this some kind of projection technology?

Afterwards, fireworks bloomed into gorgeous flowers in the night sky, and in the performance arena, agile animals gracefully jumped through the fire ring, and circus artists dressed in gorgeous costumes performed a thrilling show with all kinds of rare and exotic animals.

The scene was grand and spectacular, and every detail was full of surprises.

Li Muhan also noticed that Xia Yue's eyes became bright the moment the stage lit up.

The haze on her face caused by noticing something seemed to be dispelled by the sudden light. All her attention was firmly attracted by the performance in front of her. Her mouth opened slightly, revealing an innocent smile, like a child seeing a wonderful world in a dream.

Seeing Xia Yue so engrossed in the performance, Li Muhan's idea of leaving instantly disappeared.

He decided to stay and enjoy this rare happiness with her.

Although the elements in the performance were not new to him and were nothing more than common circus techniques, he was still amazed by the diversity of the animals and the superb skills of the performers.
