The palace was not big. They could see all the furnishings in the hall from the door of the palace. Everything was clear at a glance.
"What is that? An egg?" Mu Hanyan asked puzzledly as she looked at the round thing in a gorgeous nest in the center of the hall.
Yes, there was a magnificent nest in the center of the hall. No matter how magnificent it was, it was undeniably a nest. A luxurious, slightly transparent veil hung from the highest point, concealing the round nest. Inside the nest was an egg, even rounder than the nest itself. Surrounding the nest were many children's toys.
"There really are phoenix eggs?" Fen Qianji was a little stunned. He was just joking at the time, could there really be phoenix eggs?
"If this is a phoenix egg, where are its parents?" Ye Lanxuan surveyed the gorgeous nest. "They've prepared so many toys, which shows his parents were looking forward to his birth. But now there's no phoenix."
"Maybe something happened, and he left this world. I've heard that if one's strength is too great, they will shatter the void and travel to another world. If they are too powerful, they will be ostracized by this world. Even if they don't want to, the laws of this world won't allow such an abnormally powerful existence." Mu Hanyan whispered, her eyes fixed on the egg, unable to move away. Why did she feel that the egg made her feel so familiar? She couldn't help but want to hold it in her arms.
"I've heard this before, maybe it's true. Looking at this nest, you can tell that his parents must love him very much." Ye Lanxuan sighed as he looked at the toys around the nest.
"We came in so easily and saw this phoenix egg. Don't you think it's a bit strange?" Fen Qianji spoke in a deep voice at this time.
"It's a bit too easy," Ye Lanxuan nodded. As a legendary mythical beast, the phoenix's attitude towards humans is far from friendly. Human greed and desire are nearly limitless. If they saw a phoenix egg, they would undoubtedly seek to sign a master-servant contract, making the phoenix their slave and helper. The phoenix must have anticipated this; how could they have allowed the three of them to find this place so easily and see the egg so easily?
"Or, this isn't a phoenix egg?" Fen Qianji guessed.
"Even if it's not a phoenix egg, such a scene is not something that an ordinary monster can produce." Ye Lanxuan frowned slightly. It was indeed too smooth for them from the moment they came in to the moment they found the egg.
It’s as if... as if this egg is waiting for them to arrive!
When Ye Lanxuan and Fen Qianji were frowning and thinking, they saw Mu Hanyan slowly walk forward, walk to the front of the nest, and reach out to touch the egg.
"careful!"
"don't want!"
Ye Lanxuan and Fen Qianji were both shocked when they saw this and hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was too late. Mu Hanyan's fingers had already lightly touched the egg.
The air around them twisted in an instant, rippling like water. The scenery before them changed in that instant.
Illusion?
Why would Mu Hanyan, who has always been cautious, suddenly do such a thing?
No one could figure it out, including Mu Hanyan herself.
Mu Hanyan didn't know what was wrong with her. After seeing the egg, the feeling of familiarity in her heart became stronger and stronger. In the end, she couldn't help but touch it. When the scenery in front of her changed, she realized what she had done.
She seemed to be in a fantasy world! Was it because she touched the egg that the formation was triggered?
Where is this?
Mu Hanyan was in a peach forest at the moment, and she saw her younger self practicing sword. Every move was so meticulous, and her little face was full of seriousness. She remembered that when she was nine years old, she found a large peach forest on a mountain not far from Canglan Sect, and she fell in love with that place. From the age of nine until she was thirteen, she came here to practice sword every day. Spring passed and autumn came, without interruption. This place also carried too many happy memories for her. In spring, she liked to use her energy to arrange the falling peach blossoms into rows, flying in the air, which was a beautiful sight. In autumn, she picked peaches here to eat. At first, she peeled them with the small dagger she carried with her, but later she found it troublesome and insisted that her second senior brother make her a magical tool specifically for peeling peaches.
The materials used for that magical instrument were extremely expensive, but no one in the sect ever blamed her for wasting money. Not even her father said anything. Instead, he praised her second senior brother for his ingenuity and ability to create something like this. Spending her childhood in such an atmosphere, she naturally felt good every day.
Then, when she was thirteen, she met the unhappy boy. That was her last day of sword training in the Pianshan Mountains, because she had to learn something else the next day.
That day, as she was sitting on a peach tree trying to find the sweetest peach, she saw a young man in black clothes with an indifferent face, sitting lonely under the peach tree where she was.
This person seems unhappy. Has he encountered any difficulties?
Yes, she remembered. She remembered everything that happened in the peach forest that year.
Mu Hanyan walked forward slowly and saw her thirteen-year-old self sitting on a peach tree, picking peaches. She also saw the young man in black sitting alone under the tree, just like the scene back then, exactly the same.
Thirteen-year-old Mu Hanyan leaned over to look at the boy under the tree, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she threw a peach at the boy in black.
"Who?!" The young man was startled and looked up suddenly, only to meet a smiling face.
"Who are you?" the girl asked with a smile, tilting her head.
"What does it have to do with you?" The boy regained his indifferent expression and lowered his head again, ignoring the girl in the tree. He was about to get up and leave. But the next moment, peaches rained down from the tree! With a crackling sound, so many peaches poured down that the boy was stunned.
"You seem very unhappy. Let me treat you to a peach." The girl jumped down from the tree, holding a peach that was white with a hint of red in its hand. "This is the sweetest peach on this tree. Please have it."
"How do you know this is the sweetest peach on this tree?" the boy asked subconsciously. But as soon as he asked the question, his face changed again. It seemed like the focus was wrong. How could he have been led astray by the girl in front of him?
"If I say it's the sweetest, it must be." The girl took out a strange tool and placed it on the peach. The next moment, the skin of the peach was neatly peeled off.
The boy was stunned by the scene before him, and stared at the peeled peach in the girl's hand with his mouth slightly opened.
The girl looked at the boy's silly look and thought he was very cute. She laughed out loud and handed the peach in her hand to the boy: "Please have it, you're welcome."
The boy looked at the girl's slender wrist and white palm, then at the peach in her hand. His ears inexplicably turned red and he snatched the peach away.
