Chapter 265: Never Tell Stories Again

Zi Yi was quite tall. He sat behind He Jiaojiao and held her in his arms.

Having had a good sleep before, He Jiaojiao was not sleepy at all at this moment, so she simply started telling stories to the kids.

"Mother, mother, why doesn't Zhu Yingtai like the handsome and wealthy Ma Wencai, but instead likes the poor scholar Liang Shanbo?"

"That's right!" Zi Yi couldn't help but frown. "A female like Zhu Yingtai should find a male Ma Wencai who matches her. Why does she have to endure so much hardship?"

He Jiaojiao was stunned. "Don't you think the story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is very touching?"

Ziyi and the cubs all shook their heads.

"I think Ma Wencai's concessions for Zhu Yingtai are truly touching!" Zi Yi said after a moment's thought. "He was willing to schedule his wedding for the evening for the sake of the woman he loved, and even stopped by Liang Shanbo's grave to let Zhu Yingtai pay her respects. His feelings for her are truly worthy of praise!"

Just like the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl last time, Chi Yan's different interpretation made He Jiaojiao feel like she had lived for the past few decades in vain. Now, after hearing Zi Yi's explanation, she also felt that there was something wrong with this story. Everyone praised the tragic love of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but what about Ma Wencai's efforts?

I suddenly felt sorry for Ma Wencai. What happened?

"What's wrong? Jiaojiao, are we saying something wrong?"

Zi Yi saw that He Jiaojiao looked a little strange and asked cautiously.

"No, you are right!" He Jiaojiao smiled knowingly.

Indeed, everyone was so moved by the love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai that they completely ignored Ma Wencai, who was a talented writer and had a good family background, and was turned into a despised robber. But Ma Wencai was the one who deserved our sympathy the most!

After the discussion, the kids still didn't feel sleepy at all, which made He Jiaojiao a little helpless. She couldn't think of any good stories for the time being, so she simply sang nursery rhymes to the kids.

He Jiaojiao sang one popular nursery rhymes after another, and the children and friends were very happy to listen.

"Alright, alright!" Zi Yi looked at He Jiaojiao, who was drinking water, with some heartache. She had been singing all the way, and if she continued, her voice would be hoarse. "We can't let mother sing anymore. You all go and rest."

The kids were quite obedient. Knowing that He Jiaojiao must be tired, they closed their eyes and went to sleep.

"Jiaojiao, do you want to sleep for a while too?"

Zi Yi hugged He Jiaojiao and tightened the animal skin she was wearing, fearing that she would catch a cold in the night wind.

He Jiaojiao shook her head and snuggled in Ziyi's arms, quietly looking at the moon hanging in the sky and the stars. Ziyi's words from before kept lingering in her heart, making her feel restless for a long time.

Perhaps, only in the beast world, orcs with pure hearts like Ziyi Chiyan would have a different view on these stories!

"Jiaojiao, why are you staring at the moon? Is it really that beautiful?"

Zi Yi didn't understand any of this. He just thought, "Isn't it something special? You can see the moon just by looking up?" But he didn't know that where He Jiaojiao originally lived, due to severe air pollution, it was impossible to see such a beautiful night sky.

"Ayi, look, is there a tree in the moon?"

Ziyi opened his eyes wide and took a closer look. Suddenly, it was as if he had discovered a new world. "Really, Jiaojiao, there really is a tree!"

"Why didn't I notice this before?"

Looking at Ziyi's reaction, He Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing.

"Then let me tell you another story!" He Jiaojiao said, telling the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.

After finishing speaking, He Jiaojiao stared at Zi Yi, wanting to see if he would have a different opinion. Sure enough, Zi Yi did not disappoint her and expressed a different opinion.

"I think Chang'e must have coveted the elixir for a long time!" Zi Yi said angrily, "Houyi trusted Chang'e so much that he entrusted her with such an important thing, but she ate it all by herself and became an immortal."

He Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, "Guanghan Palace is cold all year round and deserted. How could Chang'e be willing to stay there alone?"

Zi Yi shook his head. "She couldn't have known in advance that she would stop on the moon. Maybe she thought she would be free and happy after becoming a fairy!"

He Jiaojiao still wanted to fight for it, "But if Chang'e doesn't swallow the elixir of immortality, won't it be snatched away by Houyi's apprentice?"

"That would completely destroy the pill, so the bad guys wouldn't be able to get it."

Uh...well, this method is really a bit unexpected.

"So, Chang'e just used this as an excuse to swallow all the pills and then get rid of Houyi to become an immortal. She had no other choice."

At this moment, He Jiaojiao felt like she didn't want to talk. Why did those popular mythological stories completely overturn her cognition when they came to the beast world? This made her a little unsure how to deal with it.

Forget it, I'd better not tell them stories anymore in the future, otherwise they will really become emo.

I shouldn't have been idle and told them these stories. It was just asking for trouble...

"Okay, Ziyi, Jiaojiao should rest!"

After all, it was in Mo Ran's head, and he heard all these words clearly. He also knew that what Zi Yi said would probably make Jiaojiao's mind confused, so Zi Yi could not continue.

Ziyi quickly shut up, looked down at Jiaojiao who was lost in thought in his arms, and realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"Jiaojiao, it's getting late. Go to sleep quickly, or it won't be a good look!" Chi Yan's eight fiery red tails swayed behind him. When he jumped to He Jiaojiao's side, he instantly transformed back into a human form, but he didn't retract his tails. One of his tails wrapped around He Jiaojiao's slender waist, and with a slight force, He Jiaojiao fell into his arms. He spread the others under his body, while others were stuffed into He Jiaojiao's arms.

Zi Yi, who was pushed aside, curled his lips but didn't dare to say anything. After all, if he hadn't talked nonsense, Jiaojiao wouldn't have been so upset and didn't want to sleep.

The sudden furry touch brought He Jiaojiao back to her senses. She met Chi Yan's handsome fox eyes, then looked at Zi Yi who was feeling aggrieved beside her, and couldn't help laughing.

"it is good!"

He Jiaojiao glanced at Zi Yi, who was sitting there with a look of annoyance on his face, and said, "Ayi, you should get some sleep too!"

Before Zi Yi could answer, Mo Ran's voice came again, "Zi Yi, you seem to have a lot of energy, come down and run with me!"

When Zi Yi heard this, his ears instantly drooped. He knew that Mo Ran would definitely punish him. So he resigned himself to his fate and jumped down, transforming into a giant white tiger, grunting and following the group on their journey.
