Chapter 4453 The Story of Moon and Dew
The Witch's Delivery Service has ended.
But the lingering feeling of the story still lingers in Yuelu's heart.
She remained quietly in place for a very long time.
My mind kept replaying the past experiences, the distinctive city, the blue sky and white clouds, and the bright, clear eyes of Qiqi...
She knew that these were all false illusions, created by the older brother in front of her.
Even knowing it was an illusion, she still became addicted.
This is the first time I've been completely immersed in a story.
And then.
She let out a big yawn...
After all, it's a bedtime story, and it's perfectly reasonable to want to sleep after hearing it.
Moreover, she is starting to understand her mother better now.
My mother has had the habit of listening to bedtime stories since she was very young. Those fairy sisters would come to my mother's dreams every day to tell her stories.
After her mother left, she respected her mother's instructions and developed the habit of reading bedtime stories.
But she didn't really care about this habit, because they were all the same fairy tales. They were hypnotic enough, but she just didn't like them.
until today.
The story her older brother told her showed her that bedtime stories could be fun and engaging!
If it's a bedtime story like this every day, she'll understand why her mother loves bedtime stories so much.
Of course, Mom didn't have such a hallucination at the time.
But each generation has its own bedtime stories, and this is the kind of bedtime story her generation wants!
Moon Dew was already looking forward to tomorrow's bedtime story.
But will the older brother come again tomorrow?
If the fairy sister comes tomorrow... how should I hint to them that bedtime stories also need reform?
……
After the story ended, Yuelu stayed in the same place.
Angel did not urge her, but silently used his extrasensory perception to detect the changes in Moon Dew's emotions.
There were feelings of sadness at the end of the story, and nostalgia for parting with my best friend… these are normal emotions. But then something felt off: a strange melancholy, a strange excitement, a strange anticipation, and a strange fear.
What was she thinking? How could she have so many emotional shifts? Angell was a little confused.
But just as Angor was wondering, Moon Dew finally snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Angor: "Big brother, let's go... to the city you mentioned!"
Angel raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you want to go?"
Yuelu seemed to understand the unspoken meaning in Angel's words. She nodded seriously and said, "I promised my older brother that I wouldn't go back on my word. Besides, I'm not being forced to go by my older brother. I want to go out and see the world myself... just like Qiqi."
If Kiki can step out of her comfort zone and go to a city without witches to train alone, why can't she?
She also wanted to get out of this small house that confined her and see the new world!
Angel's plan was to take Moon Dew to the Dream of Dawn, but seeing Moon Dew's expression as if she were saying goodbye to her past self, Angel felt a little reluctant.
He had a déjà vu feeling that he was a creepy old man trying to abduct a little girl.
After hesitating for a while, Angell finally spoke up: "Didn't your mother tell you not to agree to requests from strangers?"
Yuelu tilted her head, looking at Angel with a puzzled expression: "But big brother isn't a stranger. Big brother is a storyteller. Mom said that anyone who tells us stories is a good person."
Angel paused.
Based on his own speculation, the "storyteller" mentioned by Yuelu's mother should refer to Huayue Fairy, who is the fairy sister Yuelu mentioned.
If this dreamscape is truly related to the Honey of Dreams, the Flower Moon Fairy would definitely protect it, thus ensuring her continued honey harvesting. Therefore, it's not inappropriate for Moon Dew and her mother to refer to the Flower Moon Fairy as a good person.
Angell: "It seems your mother didn't allow you to leave either."
Yuelu thought for a moment and said, "During the time when my mother lived with me, the reason she wouldn't let me leave was because there were dream beasts and dangerous dreams outside."
"But Mom hasn't come back for a very, very long time now."
"She didn't forbid me from leaving before she left."
As Yue Lu spoke of this, she thought of Qi Qi again.
“I don’t know where Mom went. I asked the fairy sisters, but they didn’t know either… but I can tell that maybe Mom will never come back.”
“I can’t stay here forever. I should grow up now, just like Qiqi. I will eventually step out of this little house and see the outside world.”
"Then why can't it be today?"
As Yue Lu spoke, she walked to the round wooden table next to her and pointed to the crystal ball supported by a blue velvet cloth on the tabletop.
“This crystal ball was left to me by my mother. It can detect malice.” Yuelu stroked the crystal ball. “And now, this crystal ball is bound to me. When there is malice targeting me nearby, it will turn pitch black.”
"And since you arrived here, big brother, not a single word you've said, not a single action you've taken, has caused the crystal ball to change color. So..."
Yuelu didn't continue, but the answer was already obvious.
Neither the illusionary story created by Angell nor Angell's invitation to Dawn's Dream was malicious.
Since there was no malicious intent, the large city that Angel mentioned is most likely to be fine.
You see, if she were to step out of her hut now, even just walking around nearby, she could potentially encounter evil dream beasts. But Angor could offer her a relatively safe city to visit, so the choice was obvious.
"so."
Yuelu walked to Angel's side and took his hand: "Big brother, let's go! I can't wait to experience a story that is uniquely mine, just like Qiqi!"
Feeling the softness in his palm, Angell's lips curled up slightly.
“While I’d love to tell you a story of grand adventure, that city might not be as ‘adventurous’ as you imagine. The only thing I can be sure of is that it’s peaceful and there’s no danger.” Angell: “Are you sure you want to go?”
Although Angel's words surprised Yuelu slightly, she had originally thought it would be the kind of city where Qiqi worked... But thinking about it, it made sense. Her mother had said that the only civilized place in her dream was very, very far away from here, so it definitely wouldn't be a bustling city.
But if there's no danger, why not give it a try?
"go with!"
Angel took Moon Dew's hand: "Okay, let's go."
But when I pulled, it wouldn't budge.
Pull it twice, but it still doesn't move.
Angel looked at Yuelu with a puzzled expression, while the latter showed an embarrassed look: "Big brother, when Qiqi left home before...didn't she pack her bags?"
The implication was that I also needed to pack my bags.
Angel actually wanted to tell Moon Dew that she wouldn't stay in the Dream of Dawn for long, as the Dreamers have a time limit.
But looking at Yuelu's eager expression, she seemed to be really looking forward to packing her luggage.
Angell finally nodded.
Moon Dew immediately shook off Angell's hand happily and busied herself in the witch's hut, taking out a handbag with a dream-eating tapir pattern and stuffing it with all sorts of things.
That briefcase-sized handbag, though filled with many things, was like a money-devouring beast, yet it didn't bulge at all.
This is clearly a magical item.
What are the magical props in my dream made of?
Angell wanted to investigate, but felt it wasn't the right time to speak, so he just watched silently.
On another note, can Moon Dew really bring these things out of Dream Bubble? If so... then perhaps we can borrow them for research when we reach the Dream of Dawn?
At first, Angel was observing what Moon Dew was carrying, but later, seeing her stuffing everything into her bag, he gradually shifted his focus back to Moon Dew herself.
To be honest, Angel still doesn't know what form the Moon Dew takes.
Although he speculated that Yuelu might be someone living in a dream, he was still unsure whether this answer was definitively true.
If she truly lives in a dream, then what form does she take? Is she like Blanche, who suffers from a strange illness in reality and is unable to sleep for long periods, so she simply makes her home in a dream; or was she originally born in a dream?
"Were you born here?" Angell asked casually.
Yuelu, who was packing her luggage, paused for a moment, looked up, and looked at Angel with clear and pure eyes: "Big brother and fairy sister are definitely not the same kind of people."
Yuelu had asked this question before, but Angel did not answer it directly at the time, and Yuelu did not pursue the matter further.
This time, however, Yuelu no longer asked a question, but stated her conviction with a firm tone.
Angel didn't feel embarrassed by being exposed. Since he directly and explicitly asked about Moon Dew's private information, he had already prepared for the other party to guess it.
In my previous conversations with Yuelu, every time Yuelu mentioned "Fairy Sister," her emotions were positive, but it didn't reach that extremely intimate level.
On the contrary, after being shaped by Angell's "illusion story," she became more positive when she mentioned "big brother."
In this situation, Angell personally felt that even if it were exposed, it shouldn't have a significant impact.
That's why he asked so directly.
“We’re definitely not on the same wavelength. They don’t know me, but I know a bit about them.” Angleton paused. “As for the specific reasons, I can tell you after we get to that city.”
After listening, Yuelu was indeed not angry; her mood remained positive and hopeful.
"My older brother just said that city was peaceful and boring, so why is he constantly exaggerating about it now?"
"Because that city is really special, you'll see when you get there."
"Okay, then I'll see just how special this city that big brother is talking about really is!"
After a pause, Yuelu answered Angelti's question from the beginning: "I don't know where I was born. But I've been here as far back as I can remember."
This statement indirectly proves that Yuelu is indeed someone who lives in a dream world for a long time.
As for whether she has a physical body in reality... Angell tends to think no.
However, he didn't need to guess. Since they had already talked it out, he could just ask directly.
Have you ever lived in real life?
Yuelu shook her head: "No, although I really want to go to the real world, my mother and I can't come to the real world. It's a completely different world for us."
This statement definitively proves that the moon and dew should not have a physical form.
Her essence might be similar to those dream beasts; they are all native creatures of the dream world, only their appearance is similar to humans, and they possess a high degree of intelligence.
Angel wasn't surprised by this. He had previously packaged the Dream Crystal as the "Deep Dream Civilization," which implied that there was an intelligent civilization within dreams.
Perhaps Yuelu and her mother Yueling came from the Deep Dream Civilization?
Angell then asked Moon Dew directly about this.
Yuelu's answer was: she did know about the Deep Dream Civilization, but she was not sure whether she came from the Deep Dream Civilization.
She asked her mother, but her mother did not answer.
She herself had no recollection of living in the Deep Dream Civilization, so she had only heard of it, never been there, and had no idea where it was.
"Alright, I'm almost done getting ready." Yuelu picked up her handbag, turned around in front of the mirror, and whispered, "It still feels like something's missing... what's missing?"
"Oh, I remember now, I'm missing a witch's flying broom!" Moon Dew snapped her fingers, and the broom flew to her and stopped in front of her. She jumped onto the broom sideways and flew around the room happily.
Finally, it flew to the third floor and went into a small room.
A moment later, Moon Dew flew back to Angell's side, and at this moment, there was a flowerpot in Moon Dew's arms, containing a blooming crystal rose.
The texture is entirely glass and crystal, with layers upon layers of flower buds, complemented by light blue specks of fluorescence.
This is the most beautiful and dreamlike rose that Angell has ever seen.
Moon Dew handed the crystal rose she was holding to Angell: "This is for your older brother."
Although Angell thought the rose was beautiful, he never thought of possessing it... He instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, just as he touched the pot of the crystal rose, he suddenly felt a surge of power, with a large amount of power information constantly floating around the crystal rose.
Angell paused for a moment, then directly used his access privileges to interpret the message.
These powers and information are named in...
It's similar to how, after an item is created in Wonderland, there's a text description of its name, background, and effects.
This flower seems to have been identified as some kind of prop by the powers of the fairy realm, and is currently being named.
Strangely, while other items were presented with brief descriptions, this flower did not immediately reveal any information. It seemed that the power was still constantly searching for information to name it.
In layman's terms, there is insufficient information to generate a summary.
This surprised Angell.
This is the first instance of this happening since the Wonderland dungeon was created.
Angell, who was about to refuse, swallowed his words and accepted the Crystal Rose.
