Originally Mingyue planned to rest after finishing two, but she became more and more excited as she did it, so she simply finished the remaining two in one go.
The third design Mara created is a butterfly crown.
This corolla is based on green and is composed of various flowers and butterflies.
The production method is similar to that of the crown of thorns. Mingyue still holds glass rods of various colors and pulls out petals and leaves of various colors.
This time the flowers are not limited to roses, there are daffodils, irises, lilies, roses and other flowers.
Two longer leaves and two shorter leaves stuck together form a butterfly.
The base of the corolla is relatively simple. Just use green transparent glass, heat it up to form a ring, then add the prepared petals, leaves and butterflies, and stack them up layer by layer, and a lively butterfly corolla is ready.
The main body of the corolla is composed of clear and colored glass, which has been carefully fired and shaped to take on the lightness and elegance of butterfly wings.
The butterflies on the crown are lifelike, their wings made of multiple layers of colored glass, each layer with subtle gradients and shimmering luster.
When light shines on these butterflies, they seem to come alive, and the patterns and colors on their wings appear vivid as the light and shadow change.
When the light passes through the glass petals where the butterfly lands, they reflect colorful colors, as if they are the light and shadow left by the butterfly flying among the flowers.
The last one is a crown made of stacked leaves designed by Mara.
Mingyue first used green glass to burn some leaf-shaped glass, then stacked the leaves and attached them vertically on the base layer by layer.
Soon, the leaf crown was also completed, but because of the comparison with the previous butterfly crown, Mingyue always felt that the leaf crown looked a little ordinary.
She wondered if she should add something to make the leaf crown more special.
Just as Mingyue was thinking, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her mind.
Yes, the color of leaves doesn’t have to be limited to green!
She could try making a blue leaf crown!
Mingyue did it right away. This time, she used a blue glass rod to burn out a bunch of leaves and started assembling them again.
After Mingyue stopped, she looked at the finished product and nodded with satisfaction.
Done!
After changing green to blue, the crown becomes like a treasure from fairyland, revealing a cold and pure beauty.
At the front end of the crown, Mingyue used leaf-shaped glass to stack into a triangular shape.
In order to match this shape, Mingyue blended the colors of the leaves to create a gradient of blue, with dark blue at the bottom and becoming lighter as it goes up.
After seeing this gradient color, Mingyue thought of the deep sea for some reason. She found a transparent glass rod and dotted round beads on the dark blue of the crown to create a foamy feeling.
After the transparent beads appeared, the whole crown felt different.
The bottom of the crown looks like the foam left on the beach by the waves. The leaf-shaped glass surrounded by the foam is beautiful yet dangerous, which makes people inexplicably think of the fish tail of a mermaid.
Mingyue was extremely satisfied with the crown. She planned to show it to Mara when the time comes. If Mara didn't want it, she would keep it for herself!
After finishing the crown, Mingyue looked at Xiaoman, who was staying up late with her and was getting sleepy. She smiled and picked up another glass rod.
This time she made two colorful rings, one large and one small.
The younger one found some colored paper and wrapped it into a gift box.
She used magic to lift Xiaoman up and put her on the small bed next to her, then put the gift box next to Xiaoman so that Xiaoman could see the surprise in the morning.

At this time, near the hotel, a group of water monsters suddenly appeared in the shimmering waters.
These water monsters are known for their half-human, half-fish form. Their skin shimmers with a pearly luster, their long hair is as silky as algae in the water, and their eyes are as dazzling as gems in the deep sea.
The water fairies danced on the water surface, their movements were graceful and rhythmic, every wave of their hands stirred up circles of ripples, their tails swayed gently underwater, pushing their bodies to glide on the water surface.
When they arrived at the waters near the inn, the leading water monster stopped. It looked at the Moon Inn, looking for a figure. After its mental power locked onto the figure, the water monster opened its mouth and uttered a beautiful chorus.
A melodious song came from the distant waterside. The melody was ethereal and mysterious, carrying a mysterious call.
The song carried the gentleness of ripples and the whisper of the night wind. It penetrated the walls of the hotel and reached Mingyue's ears.
Mingyue, who had originally planned to rest, inexplicably felt that she was struck by the singing from afar. There seemed to be some unspeakable power in the singing, tempting her to find out what was going on.
Mingyue seemed to be hypnotized and walked towards the water mechanically.
Lured by the mysterious singing late at night, Mingyue walked to the water's edge of the inn.
A group of water monsters were sitting on the shore, their eyes flashing with strange light in the night, and their tails gently slapping the water, making pleasant sounds.
The songs of the water fairies echoed in the night sky, constantly calling out to the bright moon.
When she appeared at hand, the singing stopped abruptly and the water fairies stopped singing. They stared at Mingyue, as if assessing her strength.
The water fairies began to talk in whispers. They were not sure whether Mingyue had been controlled by the illusion magic, so they decided to test Mingyue to see if she had fallen into their illusion magic.
A leader of the water monsters stood up and asked Mingyue questions in an ancient and charming tone. Its voice seemed to have the power to control people's hearts and make them fall into hallucinations.
"Who are you?"
Mingyue answered obediently, "Mingyue."
"Are you the owner of this inn?"
"yes."
"Are there any others coming with you?"
"No, it's just me."
"Good boy, answer me one last question and tell me one of your secrets."
The water monsters observed Mingyue's reaction, and there was a hint of cruel expectation in their eyes.
Once they are sure that Mingyue is controlled by the phantom sound magic, they will launch an attack, devour Mingyue and occupy the inn.
"My secret?" Mingyue hesitated.
The water demon leader continued to induce, "Yes, tell me the secret you are most afraid of being known."
Mingyue spoke and uttered a few words.
"I am【...】"
Mingyue's voice was drowned out by a sudden loud "beep".
Before the water monsters could hear what Mingyue said, the huge noise made their heads hurt.

Some people may ask why Mingyue can hear the sirens' song even though the hotel is soundproof. The answer will be found in the next chapter.
