Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 555 - 554: Want to see the Shuilian Cave in your dream?
Chapter 555: Chapter 554: Want to see the Shuilian Cave in your dream?
Su Mianmian was a little bit conflicted.
What if the little monkey didn’t want to become special? She offered fruits not to trigger any transformation but to bond with the little monkey and show her kindness. The small animals on the mountain had eaten her fruits as well, and so had Dahuang and Xiaohuang, but their changes weren’t so significant.
Sigh.
While Little Bun was pondering this, she let out a sigh.
Suddenly, a large hand patted her head, swiftly, and then it was gone.
"Why sigh at such a young age?" the Black Tortoise’s voice was gentle, "You didn’t sigh when that dragon caused a natural disaster."
Mianmian scratched her head and thought that was indeed true.
When the natural disaster occurred, although she was panicked, her mind had already been racing with ways to save people. For example, using Green’s Space or if Fen Tian really appeared, getting the Mountain River Sheji Map from him to continue the rescue.
When things happened to Yang Xian and Situ Zha, she only thought about doing her utmost. What came after was up to them to decide.
Considering those things were similar, and Situ Zha had been forced to accept the memories from his life as Nezha,
why then, when it came to the little monkey, did she start to feel so troubled?
Mianmian thought it over from every angle and finally, it dawned on her, "Dad always says that ’concern leads to chaos.’ Mianmian asked about the meaning of ’concern leads to chaos,’ which is like, if you care too much about someone, the same situation will evoke a stronger emotion in you than in others. It’s because Mianmian loves the story of the Great Saint Qi Tian so much that she becomes ’concerned and thus chaotic’ over the little monkey."
Upon hearing Mianmian’s self-reflection, the Black Tortoise suddenly found himself curious about the expressions Yang Xian and Situ Zha would have if they were here.
Both of them had quietly asked him if they could become stronger without tying in their past lives after reincarnation. They were worried about Su Mianmian at that time, and now Su Mianmian was saying she was more worried about the reincarnation of a monkey...
Ungrateful little thing.
While the Black Tortoise was thinking this, Mianmian suddenly touched her chest, quite seriously, "While ’concern leads to chaos’ is natural, it’s not right. When you find yourself in such a state, you need to calm down and think it through. Actually, this situation is no different from any other, and it’s not so special."
As she spoke and reflected, Mianmian quickly adjusted her mindset.
She crouched down to look at the little monkey playing with its tail and said seriously, "Brother Hou said he hopes you will come home with Mianmian, do you want to come home with Mianmian? If you don’t want to, it’s okay to stay here and be with the other monkeys too."
The Black Tortoise’s eyebrows raised slightly.
The ungrateful little thing was quick in transforming her emotions, just like when she hoped for his help and he refused, straightforward and honest.
This was more like it, acknowledging one’s flaws, changing what could be changed, and letting go of what couldn’t.
Much better than those who never change, like the gods above who chose to slumber.
The Black Tortoise watched the little monkey, curious to see what would happen next.
Upon hearing Mianmian’s question, the monkey put down its tail, "Chitchit?!"
It was the first time Mianmian heard the little monkey’s voice since she’d seen it.
Its question was, "Am I really Sun Wukong reincarnated?"
Mianmian thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm... That’s a question Mianmian can’t just impose her thoughts on you, as different choices will lead to different outcomes. If you really don’t like the story of Sun Wukong that you’ve seen, you don’t have to feel that way."
The little monkey’s eyes, rimmed with gold, blinked as it looked around, "Chitchit?" It wanted to see all of Huaguo Mountain.
"Then let’s go take a look," said Mianmian immediately.
The Huaguo Mountain in the story was untouched by humans, surrounded by forests and beside the sea, next to Shuilian Cave. But this Huaguo Mountain was just a mountain. Shuilian Cave existed, but it did not possess the grandeur described in the stories.
A story is just a story; it’s normal for it to differ from reality.
After seeing Shuilian Cave, the little monkey said it wanted to take a look inside.
Mianmian hurriedly hid herself, put on a cloak of invisibility, and then took the little monkey on the Flying Sword down to Shuilian Cave. They passed through the waterfall, and inside it was indeed another world, though it only featured some odd and rugged natural scenery, none of the furnishings depicted in TV dramas.
The little monkey made a round inside and seemed somewhat disappointed.
Indeed, it had dreamt along with the other monkeys. In the dream, it emerged from a stone as a little monkey and wagered with the monkey troop that whoever could enter Shuilian Cave would be the king of monkeys.
The Shuilian Cave of Huaguo Mountain in the dream was much bigger and more fun than this one.
Seeing the little monkey so disheartened, Mianmian gave it some thought and asked, "Do you want to see the Shuilian Cave from your dream?"
The little monkey nodded.
Mianmian was about to comfort the little monkey when the Black Tortoise spoke, "The place you want to see has likely been concealed now."
Mianmian had never heard such a thing; she had thought that due to changes in heaven and earth or authors’ exaggerations, Huaguo Mountain was not as it once was. Thus, Mianmian and the little monkey both stared at the Black Tortoise with sparkling eyes, hoping he would continue explaining.
The Black Tortoise had intended to stop there, but looking down at the two pairs of eager eyes,
the two little ones, with round faces and big eyes, did look quite... cute.
The Black Tortoise relented, "After many Fairies achieve enlightenment, they fear their birthplaces might be discovered, so they set up restrictions there. Under these restrictions, those who come looking will not find the entrance, and naturally, they cannot enter."
This reminded Mianmian of the Dragon Clan’s armory.
She raised her little hand, full of hope. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The Black Tortoise didn’t understand what Mianmian meant, and she had to keep her hand raised for a long time.
Mianmian had to say for herself, "Teacher Black Tortoise, you see me raising my hand, you should say, ’come on, Little Friend Mianmian, please share your thoughts.’
Not fully getting it, but seeing Mianmian’s hopeful little eyes, he repeated the words anyway.
After the Black Tortoise finished, Mianmian chuckled and then seriously said, "It’s like the Dragon Clan’s armory, which also has restrictions. Those who don’t know where the restrictions are can’t get in. So, it’s the same with the Great Sage’s Huaguo Mountain, isn’t it? If you don’t know where the restrictions are, you can’t get in, right?"
"Hmm," the Black Tortoise affirmed her comparison, "That’s right. The restriction might only be known to Sun Wukong himself... only this monkey would know where it is, so now if you want to go, you can’t."
In truth, with his abilities, he could have sought out and broken the restriction forcefully, but that would be an extreme breach of protocol and would invite criticism from other Fairies. When Fairies seclude themselves and refuse visitors, everyone adheres to the rules and doesn’t intrude.
After hearing the Black Tortoise’s explanation, Mianmian looked at the little monkey with concern.
Knowing that they couldn’t go inside, that it required Sun Wukong himself to do so, would the little monkey be upset?
