I kept screaming and it seemed that the screams would never stop.
Just when I was feeling a bit tired, a melodious and pleasant music came into my ears without warning. The music was floating and lingering, swirling around in a beautiful melody that I had never experienced before.
This music seemed to contain a mysterious power that could soothe people's hearts. As a result, my screams gradually became weaker and weaker until they finally died away.
"Soon," Han Meilin's voice rang in my ears, "you will witness a scene that you will never forget in your life."
"You..." I noticed that my teeth were chattering, "are you a human or a ghost?"
She gave a soft chuckle and replied, "A ghost."
Hearing this, I screamed again. The volume was so loud that I couldn't believe it came from me.
Besides her answer, it was also because in the next second, a startling picture suddenly emerged in front of my eyes. I found myself in a magnificent banquet hall. The golden lights were so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open my eyes. After that shrill scream, I was so shocked that my eyes widened and my mouth opened wide.
There were people coming and going all around. They all had strange and peculiar appearances.
I wanted to scream again, but I couldn't make a sound due to the extreme fright.
Their appearances were rather strange. They had small faces but large, round eyes; their ears were pointed and slightly erected sideways, just like the ears of elves in cartoons. Their lips were of different sizes. Some people's lips could extend to their ears, while some people's lips were so small that there was only a thin slit left.
Their clothes had some similarities to those of humans. Some were wearing pure white clothes similar to those of servants, while others were wearing long, shiny gowns; some were dressed plainly and simply, while others were dressed brightly; some were walking with their heads down, respectfully holding plates, and some were talking and laughing loudly, looking arrogant.
I was so shocked that my eyes widened and my body trembled with fear. My eyes were looking around in a panic.
This place looked like a grand banquet. There were servants, nobles, subordinates and high officials at the banquet. The differences in rank could be clearly distinguished from their clothes and behaviors.
Just when I was trembling with fear all over, Han Meilin's voice rang in my ears again: "Don't worry. They can't see you, but you can see their every move. However, you mustn't let their objects touch you, especially wine. If it accidentally spills on you, the spell I cast on you will fail and they will see you. But don't worry. If this really happens, I will help you."
"Where on earth is this place?" I heard myself asking her in a trembling voice.
She didn't answer and just remained silent.
Watching these strange people shuttling around me, my heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of my throat.
At this moment, the music suddenly changed from soft and soothing to solemn and solemn. All the people in the golden banquet hall immediately stopped talking. The servants all lay prostrate on the ground. People with lower ranks knelt on one knee, and those wearing gorgeous clothes and with higher ranks lowered their heads.
I had no idea what had happened and my breathing almost stopped.
The magnificent and dazzling door of the golden banquet hall slowly opened, and a large group of people escorted a tall man who was wearing a purple-gold gown and a golden crown walked in.
That man was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.
He was extremely handsome. Even among this group of people with strange appearances, and even compared with us humans, he was definitely outstanding.
His face was also small, his ears were also pointed, and his eyes were also large. However, he had a unique charm and was particularly outstanding.
His eyes were very beautiful. They were pure gold, with a faint touch of fiery red; his eyelashes were long and thick, also pure gold, so beautiful that it was beyond imagination; yet from his eyes, you couldn't see any emotions of happiness, anger, sadness or joy.
"Is this their fairy king?" I thought to myself.
When this handsome fairy king, who attracted everyone's attention, walked to the most magnificent throne in the hall, a fairy girl in a long red dress walked slowly out of the crowd. The moment she appeared, it seemed that even the most beautiful lights lost their luster. She was more beautiful than any other female fairy in the banquet hall.
Her long hair was as red as fire, gorgeous and passionate; her skin was smooth and delicate, soft and full of texture, which was unforgettable; her eyes were so beautiful that people dared not look directly at them. Her charming eyes could make all men go crazy.
She walked slowly towards the fairy king on the throne and then knelt on the ground. Two old fairy men in white hats walked forward and walked around them, muttering something that I couldn't understand.
It was not until these two men finished chanting and the fairies around them threw petals on their heads that I realized that this was a wedding, the wedding of the fairy king.
The beautiful fairy bride walked slowly towards the fairy king in the rain of flowers and stood quietly beside his throne, with her head slightly lowered, looking respectful.
A servant in white handed a transparent wine glass filled with purple liquid. The fairy king took it, took a sip, and then handed it back to the servant. The servant handed this wine glass to the fairy bride. After the fairy bride drank the whole glass of wine, the fairy king walked down the throne and then disappeared at the door of the banquet hall.
The banquet hall became lively again as before. The fairy bride sat in a corner of the hall, looking a bit lonely.
A male servant walked slowly towards the bride. After the bride saw him, a look of surprise, delight and fright immediately appeared on her face. Several expressions were constantly changing on her face.
I walked to the side of the male servant. When I saw him, I couldn't help being surprised. Because he was definitely not an ordinary servant. He had an outstanding temperament. His eyes were transparent blue, like the boundless deep sea, which made people deeply addicted at a glance.
He lowered his head and said something to the fairy bride. The fairy bride kept shaking her head, and her big eyes were full of tears.
The male fairy suddenly grabbed the bride, as if he wanted to take her away by force. However, the bride suddenly pushed him away and fled from the banquet hall as if she were escaping from danger.
I followed closely behind the bride.
When the bride rushed out of the door of the banquet hall, she suddenly bumped into someone. At that moment, her face turned as pale as earth.
The person who came was the fairy king. He looked at her coldly. The fiery red in his golden eyes was frightening. He seemed to have already understood what had happened, and his eyes were full of fierceness and cruelty.
My heart suddenly tightened. I couldn't help worrying about the fate of this bride.
At this moment, the male fairy rushed over and stood in front of the bride, trying to say something. However, the fairy king's face became more and more ugly.
There was a golden light in his eyes, intertwined with the fiery red, shooting out a series of intimidating rays.
Suddenly, a group of guards emerged from nowhere and surrounded the bride and the male fairy. The banquet hall became noisy. All the guests crowded on the other side. Some were frightened, some were indifferent, some were angry, and some were sneering. And several older male guests standing at the front of the crowd were so angry that they were fuming.
The air seemed to freeze and was full of the smell of gunpowder. Some danger was about to break out. I stood beside the bride, covering my mouth tightly, too scared to breathe.
The fairy king sneered again. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said something coldly to the bride. The bride's face suddenly turned pale, and the male fairy's face also changed.
A few seconds later, the bride cried and pointed a dagger at herself. The male fairy rushed over and held her hand.
He knelt on the ground, as if begging the fairy king for something. However, the fairy king sneered even more. Suddenly, he raised his long sword and slashed at the male fairy.
Quick as a flash, at this critical moment, the bride quickly grabbed a wine glass held by a servant beside her and threw it hard at the place where the sword light was, trying to stop the long sword from falling.
I, who was standing beside the bride, was so scared that I staggered and fell forward a few steps.
The wine glass drew an arc in the air. The wine spilled. I couldn't avoid it and a few drops fell on me. At this moment, I was standing right in front of the bride. I only felt a blur in front of my eyes. A golden long sword stabbed at me. At that moment, an unprecedented pain surged towards me. I screamed and didn't stop.
My chest was pierced. I wanted to scream but couldn't. The pain in my chest made it impossible for me to open my mouth.
The sword was originally going to stab the bride who threw the wine glass. But who would have thought that a few drops of wine fell on me, making me show my original form and taking the fairy king's sword hard.
The bright red and dazzling blood dripped down from the tip of his sword.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of me, a strange woman to them. The fairy king was no exception. Everyone exclaimed in unison, staring at me, this uninvited guest, in disbelief.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the fairy king looked at me whose chest was pierced by him. A sharp and strange light instantly shot out from his golden eyes.
After a brief few seconds, before everyone could even blink their eyes, the fairy king quickly withdrew his long sword. My body quickly became limp and fell downwards. Just before I was about to hit the ground, someone suddenly caught me.
I struggled to lift my eyes and found that the person who caught me was actually the fairy king. The moment I looked into his golden eyes, my body involuntarily trembled slightly. But just when his hand touched me, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in my body. It seemed to be a feeling of relaxation and relief. In the next instant, I disappeared from his arms.
Before disappearing, I heard the exclamations and shouts of surprise from everyone again.
