Chapter 29: Nana and Xuanyu
Lan Xiao commented unhappily, “Are you bewitched? It’s fine if you’re fangirling over some guy, but don’t bring our son into it as well!”
Nan Cheng laughed. “Seems like someone is unable to accept this?”
Lan Xiao: “What is there to accept? He is not on any planets but on the motherland. I am truly unable to understand the mindset behind you fangirls.”
Nan Cheng replied happily, “That is what you can’t understand. It is a beautiful expectation. Tell me, who never had a Cinderella dream before? Since my son is also very good looking, I need to learn Tang Le’s style of dressing up and have my son utilize it in the future… In the future, who knows how many young ladies will pounce on him. Just thinking about it makes me so happy! Then all I need to do is command our daughter-in-law with the household chores while I absolve myself from it!”
“Fine, you win. Your imagination flows so abundantly,” Lan Xiao replied sincerely.
They sat in an ordinary restaurant. Although Heaven Dou Planet had its own unique food, the majority of its fauna and flora were transplanted from the mother planet like Heaven Luo Planet, thus the difference was not that great.
After resting for an entire day, the family of three headed for their first stop—the interstellar migration museum.
Heaven Dou Planet was the first official planet chosen for the migration and left many precious historical materials and data. At the same time, it was the prologue to Douluo Planet’s migration plan. It held historic significance.
Heaven Dou Planet was an extremely peculiar planet. From space, it was in fact filled with two colors.
The eastern side constituted the ocean and was filled with various shades of blue. Strangely enough, some parts of the ocean contained saltwater and some contained freshwater. The water quality was considered relatively good.
The western side of the planet was completely made up of land with a few cracks that formed interweaving rivers.
Heaven Dou Planet was rich in minerals, and after transplanting a great majority of flora and fauna from the mother planet and having gone through years of expansion, the entire planet was able to flourish and thrive. Moreover, it was able to supply the federation with a large number of resources.
Lan Xuanyu had his eyes locked on a gigantic globe replica of Heaven Dou Planet with a height of over 10 meters upon entering the interstellar migration museum.
They engaged a guide and listened as he explained the history of Heaven Dou Planet.
“Ever since humans and spirit beasts began living harmoniously ten thousand years ago, we initiated a full-force effort in expanding interstellar migration. The human population and the number of spirit beasts rose rapidly. In that generation, although the mother planet was in the midst of evolving, the resource consumption was too large, thus calling an immediate action on the migration…”
The guide explained everything earnestly to them.
“These photographs are extremely valuable pieces of information left behind by the first exploration team that arrived in Heaven Dou Planet…
“These tablewares were brought from mother planet and were the very first to come ashore here.
“Please look this way. This is Blue Silver Grass. You must be curious as to why the Blue Silver Grass is being displayed here. In fact, the very first plant to be transplanted on Heaven Dou Planet was the Blue Silver Grass. Although Blue Silver Grass isn’t a rare species, it possesses a tenacious vitality and adaptability. It is also able to purify the air. It was due to the efforts of the Blue Silver Grass that Heaven Dou Planet was able to have a future like this today. So, the contributions of the Blue Silver Grass cannot go unnoticed in interstellar migration.”
After hearing the explanation, Lan Xuanyu turned to his parents and asked, “Daddy, Mommy, Blue Silver Grass is actually so important!” One had to remember that Lan Xuanyu’s spirit was the Blue Silver Grass! How could he not feel proud?
“Blue Silver Grass?” Right at this time, a somewhat vacant yet sweet-sounding voice sounded out from behind the family.
The three turned to see two ladies standing next to each other while they observed the specimen of Blue Silver Grass inside the display window.
Both ladies had long and slender figures. The one on the left was dressed in a long white dress and she had short gold hair, azure pupils, faint freckles on her cheeks and nose. She gave off a sort of heroic beauty.
She turned to look at her companion and asked, “What about Blue Silver Grass?”
Her companion shook her head in silence. “It’s nothing, I suddenly thought that it was familiar.”
Compared to her golden hair companion, this lady had an even more perfect figure. The most striking thing about her was her entire head of silver hair that swept all the way down to her ankles.
Leaving too long a hair was troublesome for the majority, and very few would grow their hair to such length. However, not only was her silver hair gentle and agreeable, it gave off a sense of silver crystal texture.
On her face, there was a black mask that covered the majority of her face, revealing only her eyes. Even so, the three people from the Lan Family were stunned.
It was the most beautiful pair of eyes they had ever seen. Curled and long eyelashes coupled with her clear and purple pupils that contained a hint of loss; it made people grow a sense of tender affection toward her. Although they were unable to ascertain her age due to the mask, the unanimous thought was that she was only about 20 years old.
“Aunty, my spirit is the Blue Silver Grass.” Raising his head, Lan Xuanyu looked at the silver-haired lady and explained proudly as he blinked his eyes a couple of times.
“En?” The silver-haired lady subconsciously lowered her head. She had only noticed the family ahead of her, and her attention naturally landed on the small child.
Dressed in khaki shorts and a deep blue top, Lan Xuanyu was not clad in any branded clothes, but with his exceptional good looks, it was not a problem at all. In fact, he was too pleasing to the eyes, especially when he batted his eyelashes at the silver-haired lady.
“Woah, what an adorable and young handsome boy!” the gold hair lady exclaimed in surprise. She immediately knelt down to Lan Xuanyu’s height. “Hi little friend, you are so adorable! What is your name?”
“I am Lan Xuanyu,” he answered with his sweet voice. Lan Xuanyu was not afraid, and he felt proud after hearing about the Blue Silver Grass.
The gold-haired lady turned to look at her silver-haired friend. “Nana, this little boy is so good looking. I have never seen such an adorable child before.”
Nana also noticed Little Xuanyu, but right when their gaze met, she felt her entire body froze, as though a lightning bolt had struck her.
In that instant, Nana felt something similar to an electric current flowing from her spine to her brain, dazing her into a loss. As though something had struck her mind, an indescribable pain caused her to moan and retreat two steps back. She knelt down and hugged her head with both hands.
“Ah! Nana, what happened to you?” Yun Yan was scared out of her wits upon seeing Nana’s sudden change. She immediately rushed over to her.
Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were both surprised as well. The young lady with the mask possessed an extraordinary aura and did not look ordinary, but was she ill?
“Aunty, your hair is touching the ground and will get dirty.” Lan Xuanyu ran up to the silver-haired lady and picked up her hair. The moment he interacted with her hair, a wonderful feeling spread from the bottom of his heart, causing him to rub the hair against his cheeks. “Aunty, your hair is so soft and nice to touch.”
“Xuanyu, you can’t do that.” Nan Cheng immediately stepped forward in shock. Although Xuanyu was still young, his action was somewhat offensive.
But Nana did not feel that way. When Little Xuanyu touched her hair, the senseless hair vaguely emitted strands of warmth and soothed her painful head, thus allowing her to recover.
As she was in a kneeling position, she was able to see his beautiful eyes even more up close as she accepted her hair from Xuanyu.
As the two pairs of eyes met, they saw their own reflection from within. Lan Xuanyu smiled at her and raised both his hands forward with the intention of hugging her, but he immediately recalled his mother’s call.
“Aunty, your eyes are really beautiful. But why are you wearing a mask?” he asked with a smile.
Lan Xiao never stepped forward to stop his son. In fact, he and Nan Cheng were accustomed to Little Xuanyu’s ability to attract others. It was something that had occurred many times since he was six years old.
In the next moment, they immediately understood why the silver-haired lady had the mask on.
Nana raised her hand and took down the mask, thus revealing her own face.
It was at that moment that the family felt as though the lights in the museum had brightened up a few notches. Her eyes were already so beautiful, but with the reveal of her face, it felt as though that everything inside the museum paled in comparison to her beauty.
She was too beautiful; a beauty that was indescribable to the point that all the vocabulary in the dictionary was insufficient to describe her appearance. Regardless of how one looked at her, her somewhat pale skin and purple eyes did not have any flaws on them.
It was hard to imagine how someone could be so beautiful, where even the currently trending federation’s virtual game artists were unable to produce characters as beautiful or good looking as her.
It was no wonder she had the mask on. Without it, how would she ever move in public?
“Aunty, you are really beautiful.” Lan Xuanyu’s face revealed his surprise, and he could no longer resist as he stepped forward to in front of her.
“You are also very good looking,” Nana subconsciously replied. At that moment, her mind, which had remained empty despite her being awakened for more than six years, felt a sense of remembrance because of the child.
