Chapter 50

Once again, Meixue saw the girl in the red dress.

She was dressed in a splendid fairy robe that stood out from the crowd, looking at the people around her with a complex expression. The material of the fairy robe was something Meixue had never seen before, and it must have been made from an incredibly precious material.

A girl who could wear such a splendid fairy robe, why would everyone ignore her? It was too strange.

People came and went around her, and no one looked at the girl in red. Everyone was talking about the only major event that had recently happened on Tiantai Mountain.

"Hey, have you heard? Something happened in the secret realm of our Tiantai Mountain."

"Our secret realm? Isn't that just a small secret realm? What could have happened?"

"You don't know, I heard from the elders of the Immortal Sect that some passage in the secret realm was broken, and a powerful monster might have entered. They've already issued a notice, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering."

"Really, that's scary, but it's good that it has nothing to do with us."

Indeed, secret realms and passages had nothing to do with ordinary people living in the mountains and seas; those were matters for the elders of the Immortal Sect.

However, for some reason, when the girl in red heard this news that had already spread, her eyes suddenly dimmed, as if she was very disheartened.

That expression was truly adorable.

"Bang!" Without warning, Meixue's heart was moved.

Just for that moment of sorrow, that fleeting charm, the slight frown of the girl in red made his heart fall.

Thus, Meixue knew that he had fallen in love again, at first sight with the girl who was sad and confused, unable to extricate himself.

This kind of beginning had happened hundreds of times, but none of them had ended well. Meixue had never reaped the fruit of happiness.

But even so, when the moment of love arrived, Meixue could not resist.

It was an impulse from his heart, an uncontrollable emotion.

So, even knowing that the result was almost certain, he still chose to face his true feelings.

A hundred times, two hundred times, three hundred times... countless breakups had not made him give up.

Because, liking someone is liking someone. A person who dares not admit their own feelings is the most pitiful.

Thus, Meixue bravely moved forward, toward the girl he liked, even though he didn't even know her name.

"Ah, here he comes again!" When she saw Meixue walking toward her without hesitation, Xiaoliu finally confirmed that the power of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl was ineffective in front of this person.

The disguise of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl worked on everyone else, but it was completely transparent to this young man.

Closer, closer, what should she do? Should she run away like yesterday? Xiaoliu looked at the approaching Meixue, her heart beating faster and faster.

It was a mix of unease, fear, and a hint of tension in the heart of a young girl. Although she felt no danger from Meixue, the fact that the Boundary-Breaking Pearl's barrier was ineffective was enough to prove that Meixue was different.

Why could only he see her?

Why did he walk over so openly?

What was that vague mist in his eyes? Why did she feel her heart flutter just from his gaze, as if something special was about to happen?

Meixue stood in front of Xiaoliu and, under the strange gazes of the people around them, smiled and said:

"Um, are you alone?"

To the others, it looked like Meixue was talking to the air in the corner, as if he were performing a solo comedy act.

"Can you see me?" Xiaoliu nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, hesitant to meet Meixue's eyes.

This was the first time she had spoken to a real human since coming to the human world. If Xiaoxiang found out, he would certainly be angry.

But when Meixue approached her, her heart couldn't help but race.

Actually, the first time she saw Meixue, she had a similar feeling, but she was too afraid then, so she ran away.

"Yes, I've always been able to see you. Can't everyone else see you?" Meixue looked curiously at the innocent girl in front of him. In his hundreds of failed romances, it was rare to be able to directly interact with the girl he liked from the start.

Because the girls he liked were usually not ordinary, often with guards or elders around, making it extremely difficult for him to even send a love letter.

On his path of love, there were far too many obstacles.

"Yes, only you can see me." Xiaoliu looked around again. Even though they were clearly speaking face-to-face, the only person reflected in people's eyes was Meixue.

Her figure, her voice, her presence were completely erased. The disguise of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl was perfect—except in front of this young man.

Only in his eyes did she exist; only he could hear her voice and speak to her properly.

But he had no powerful aura, at least not that she could sense. Apart from being able to see through the disguise of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, he was no different from an ordinary human.

If there was any difference, it was the faint scent of herbs that came from him, which was very pleasant.

"That's really lucky. Can you tell me your name?" Meixue also noticed the unusual nature of the girl in red, probably due to some kind of immortal technique.

Being protected by such a technique, the girl in front of him was undoubtedly a pampered daughter of a noble family, who had only occasionally come to this remote corner.

However, for Meixue, identity and race were not issues. He simply followed his heart and liked the girl he liked.

Love is irrational like that.

"This... everyone says... you shouldn't casually reveal your name." Xiaoliu looked at Meixue anxiously, feeling embarrassed about her concealment.

"That's fine, it's not a problem if you don't want to say it now. I'm Meixue, a student at the初级仙法学院 (初级仙法学院 translates to '初级' meaning '初级' and '仙法学院' meaning '仙法学院', but in this context, it should be translated as '初级仙法学院' meaning '初级仙法学院'). Welcome to Tiantai Mountain." Meixue didn't mind this small obstacle and smiled, extending his hand to Xiaoliu.

"If you like, let me show you around. You seem lost."

"Okay." Xiaoliu looked at Meixue's warm smile and naturally extended her hand.

By the time she noticed, their hands were already clasped together, and they didn't let go.

Meixue gently held Xiaoliu's hand, a small, soft hand, the small happiness he had always sought.

In his heart, a small seed took root and sprouted, a pure and innocent thought, a pure and unblemished intention.

Love is like that, irrational.
