Kazmir couldn't help but ask.
Chang Le said, "My body can no longer be considered that of a normal person."
Kazmir paused for a moment, then heard her say:
"I went to the depths of the universe. In the universe, what you see most are not dazzling and beautiful planets, but bottomless and silent darkness."
You'll feel lost and helpless, receiving no response no matter what you do, feeling nothing at all—utter silence. Eventually, you'll even begin to doubt your own existence.
Fear and loneliness far outweighed surprise.
But once I got used to this feeling, I couldn't hear my own heartbeat, lost all sensation, and almost abandoned the body that belongs to a normal person.
Chang Le shrugged gently and said calmly:
"I can remain completely normal without eating, drinking, or resting. All the elements I need will detach from the surrounding environment and automatically enter my body."
I can no longer be called human, so now, I don't really feel anything. I could even break a leg and then instantly repair it.
Outside the door, Huanbo listened silently, his always smiling eyes lowered.
Kazmir's expression was complicated, then he sighed softly: "Our script needs to be changed."
He had realized the problem: Chang Le's current dance lacked soul.
When the body's normal human senses are weakened, the soul merges with the silent, cold starry sky, and the passion and vitality of the human heart are also affected.
Chang Le is not suited to play the role of chasing the moon now.
Practice time passed quickly. Chang Le expressed his affirmation and absolute trust in Kazmir's level. The two were professional and serious, and had strong execution. Their cooperation was also quite good, and the progress was very smooth.
But on the day it was time to submit the program for the entertainment event, Kazmir said, "If we're not going to the gala, let's find a place to dance by ourselves."
Chang Le only thought of the entertainment club because he might miss the stage, and didn't really want to perform for others, so he agreed.
So, the two of them went to the beach the following evening.
The deep sea is like an inkwell, and the distant crescent moon is like a floating boat.
The moon shines with clear light, its shimmering surface resembling fallen white elms.
The night breeze brought a thin tide, bending the moon's clear light and causing it to ripple along with the reflections of the two people on the sea.
Kazimir, dressed in a medieval European court-style performance costume, gracefully bows.
Before him stood Chang Le, her white gauze swaying as if she were riding the wind away. Her hair ornaments, adorned with blue diamonds and silver tassels, created an elegant and aloof look, making her appear like a fairy maiden.
Huanbo, who was almost hidden in the darkness, was sullenly resting his chin on his hand. Then he raised his hand and clicked to play music with a blank expression.
As the music plays in harmony with the sea breeze, fairies from the moon descend on their own, adorned with stars and moonlight, their silvery glow transforming into a veil of mystery, ethereal beauty, and captivating grace.
So, when the prince, struggling with the mundane life, looked up in a daze and saw the moon fairy, a glance that lasted an eternity.
The prince longed for the fairy, and driven by this longing, he felt a surge of power within him to fight against the filth of the world.
Amidst tense music, the prince, having completed a series of actions representing resistance, finally stepped onto the frozen seawater and grasped the hem of the moon's garment.
The fairy Chang'e lowered her eyes, and the moon lingered for her.
Suddenly, the music stopped abruptly, the prince lunged at the moon, the strings abruptly changed tune, and the prince revealed his fangs and swallowed the moon whole!
The sea was dark and silent. The prince stepped across the frozen sea and ran to where the night sky met the sea, where he stopped.
The prince smiled and knelt down, took out the moon that he had kept hidden in his heart, and sent the fairy onto the moon boat.
The crescent-shaped moon boat carries the fairy back on the wind, back to the place where the moon sets and the sun is about to rise.
The fairy bid farewell to the prince, and the prince watched her depart into the distance.
He stood by the sea until the moon returned home, the sun rose, and a new world came.
As the music faded into the sea breeze, Kazmir was completely immersed in his role, chasing and banishing the moon with unbridled joy. Chang Le leaned against a half-moon floating on the sea in the distance, gazing at the prince who was chasing after the moon yet unwilling to possess it.
There are no distractions, no past grievances, only stories of art and dancers immersed in art.
Kazmir suppressed his smile, detached himself from the role, but his expression was not as cold as usual.
The moonlight tinged the blue of his eyes, cascading across his brows and eyes, carrying a cool, aloof smile:
"Although I'm past the age of chasing the moon, I can still look forward to a world where the moon rises again."
"Chang Le, thank you."
...
After leaving the Zhu family base, Chang Le accompanied Huan Bo to Penglai, using the spiritual energy of Penglai to protect Huan Bo and prevent him from being threatened by the fate-altering lightning tribulation.
Afterwards, she stayed at the Hua family's residence, and then went to the Fourth District because of the results of the Moon Island meeting, where she met She Haoyun, who was assisting Changfeng in handling Moon Island affairs in Shazhou City.
