But Lu Qingyan didn't ask directly.
If this is the key to getting out, how could I possibly know it so easily?
The large bird was very fast, and soon flew back to the tree. The place was exactly the same as when Lu Qingyan left: blue sky, white clouds, green grass, flowers dotted with starlight… and the tree fast asleep.
Lu Qingyan called to the tree for a while, but it didn't respond. Finally, a passing gray rabbit couldn't stand it anymore and ran over to stomp on it twice before it yawned and called out, "Ah, so it's you, little girl, who's back. Where's what I asked for? Did you find it and bring it back?"
Lu Qingyan handed over the withered tree branch and the crystal shoe: "I've found them both."
Big Tree: "..."
He shook the lush branches above him and laughed awkwardly, "I was going to ask you to go and bring the glass slipper back, but I didn't expect you to have already brought it here."
"Alright, now that you've found her, you can go see the fairy. Little girl, take your gift and come inside!" As it spoke, the surrounding grass began to part to the sides of the road, making way for Lu Qingyan to pass.
Lu Qingyan reached out and picked up her shoes as she walked inside, followed by three birds.
At the edge of the forest stood a throne woven from branches, upon which sat a woman with green hair and blue eyes, gazing around with eyes full of sorrow.
She smiled broadly when she saw Lu Qingyan approaching: "What a lucky person! You've finally come! Thank you for bringing the crystal shoes."
With a flick of her finger, the crystal shoe that Lu Qingyan had brought flew over uncontrollably and landed at her feet.
She frowned and put on her shoes: "Sigh, those two birds are so naughty, they actually brought my clothes and shoes to Cinderella. How is their behavior any different from that of thieves? I'll let them off this time, but they must be punished properly next time."
"Fated one, I will grant your wish." Green light emanated from her palm, passed through Lu Qingyan, and landed on the large bird, gradually transforming it into a human form, or rather, restoring it to its original appearance.
The two little birds chirped and chirped, saying one thing after another:
"His skin was like sunlight shining through it."
"His eyes shone like stars."
His hair was as black as ebony.
"His lips were like those of a red rose petal being kissed."
"He stands like the tallest tree."
...
The praise they had uttered before came out of their mouths once again, and this time, looking at the person who suddenly appeared, Lu Qingyan felt that those words were somewhat fitting for him.
Even just that tiny outline made her see a flower.
But when the green light faded, Lu Qingyan stared at him dumbfounded: This, this... isn't this Xia Junyue? Did he not have enough of his past life and come back to chase after her?
This person didn't seem to recognize her in her original form. He excitedly rushed over and hugged her after transforming into human form: "Beautiful girl, I'm so grateful that you lifted my curse. Would you be my queen?"
Several colorful birds circled in the air, chirping, "Say yes, say yes."
The system also urged in Lu Qingyan's ear: "Quickly, Master, agree to him!"
So Lu Qingyan pretended to be shy and lowered her head, whispering, "I do."
"Alright, since you're willing, I'll accept this offer for you." A loud voice rang in Lu Qingyan's ears, and she moved as if something was pressing down on her.
