The End Times as a Song

Chapter 16 Don't Make a Move

Outside the Guixu Palace, two little fairy maidens whispered to each other as they walked and talked, each saying a word, and were having a great time.

"Shiyu, have you heard?"

Shi Yan is extremely gossipy, digging endlessly into things.

"What did you hear..."

Shiyu tilted her little head and asked curiously.

"That matter concerning our Guixu Palace..."

Shi Yan continued digging and digging.

"What exactly happened...?"

Shiyu asked somewhat anxiously, her expression a little helpless.

"It's about... the matter of our master's impure bloodline as a true god."

"Shh... Shiyan, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want. I'm worried you'll choke... The master's affairs are not something we palace maids can discuss in private," Shiyu scolded.

"I heard it from a little fairy in Jade Void Palace. She said the master's background is unclear... and there's this world-ending legend about the end of the world, do you think it's true..."

"Shh... Don't say anything. You listen to all kinds of gossip. Behave yourself, do more work in Guixu Palace, and don't ask too many questions. Keep your mouth shut."

"Oh dear... Shiyu, we were just gossiping about our master's private affairs... Don't be angry, it's alright!"

"Shiyan, I'm telling you the truth because I consider you a sister. As a fairy maid of Guixu Palace, you should just do your job as a little fairy maid. Don't ask too many questions about your master's affairs, and don't meddle too much."

"Okay, I'll stop gossiping. Let's talk about something else. What do you think of our master's appearance? I've heard he's incredibly handsome."

"You'd better shut up..."

"Boring, boring...so boring. You're no good at gossip, and you're no good at chatting. You're a waste of your name, Shiyu. You should be called Buyan (Silent)."

"You two, do you want to die?" A gentle breeze swept by, and then a white-robed gentleman with a refined appearance, holding a white jade fan and a red hat, appeared.

"Shiyu greets the Wind-Riding Divine Lord..."

"What... he is a god?"

"Shiyan, quickly bow and speak less..."

Shiyu tugged at Shiyan's wide sleeve and shook her head, signaling her to stop talking...

"Oh……"

"Get up...and answer..."

Chengfeng speaks crisply and decisively.

Shiyu stood up to reply, and Shiyan followed suit.

"Shiyan, you keep kneeling."

The saying is that he deliberately acted indifferent and aloof.

"Ah...why? Can Sister Shiyu get up?"

Picking up words is a pretentious rhetorical question.

"I told you to kneel, so kneel... There's nothing wrong with that, why... You're full, what are you doing? Daring to gossip about your master here, and even asking why? You're face-blind and gossipy."

“But I, Shiyu, also said, why doesn’t she have to be punished…”

"You scoundrel... how dare you talk back! You deserve to be punished just for your mouth..."

"What punishment... let them get up..."

A gentle breeze, accompanied by a crisp, melodious sound, swept by. Lin Moshi, impeccably dressed and exuding an ethereal, otherworldly aura, walked towards them with an imposing presence, leaving behind a lingering, refreshing fragrance of orchids in the air.

"Even in this state, they still can't punish you? What's going on..."

"Riding the wind, return to the Void Palace...!"

"You can tolerate this...?"

"What can I do even if I can't bear it..."

“These rumors and gossip are rampant every few days. If we don’t punish them, we can’t shut these rotten people up.”

"This isn't the first time I've heard this. Fines can shut up rumors... but they still hurt more people..."

Lin Moshi said with great melancholy and indifference.

“You are kind-hearted, but Heaven has been so unfair to you. Chengfeng feels it is truly unfair to you…”

Chengfeng said indignantly.

"Rumors stop with the wise... and besides, this isn't a rumor..."

"You... you're meddling in other people's business..." Chengfeng said angrily, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I've returned to the Void Palace. Are you coming or not?"

"I ask coldly in the end times," Lin Moshi asked.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to clear my head..."

As he spoke, he capriciously transformed into a gentle breeze and dispersed with the wind.

"Still so reckless and unruly..."

"Shiyu, thank you, Master..."

Shiyu thanked her repeatedly, reminding her, "Shiyan, Shiyan, thank you..."

"Absolutely stunning, so beautiful, so beautiful..."

Shi Yan was already lost in her crush when she was forcibly pulled back to reality. "Oh... thank you..."

Shi Yu shook her head at Shi Yan and bowed with a hint of disappointment.

"Get up..."

Lin Moshi smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards his Guixu Palace, passing through the long corridor.

They exchanged words, looking at each other, then followed closely behind, their backs hunched.
