C21 Immortal Venerable Looked Back In Time and Played That Beautiful Song That Could Topple Cities

Meng Ran simply smiled and said in a soft voice, “Take your pick, and I’ll pay. Let me help you realize your dream. Choose one first.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, something occurred to Meng Ran. He didn’t have that much money on him. So at that moment, Meng Ran hurried to say, “Don’t choose one that’s too expensive either.”

When they heard this, the middle-aged woman and Soong Anqi covered their mouths and laughed secretly. This guy!

Meng Ran’s face also turned a beet red. ‘Dammit, so embarrassing! I’m a dignified Tribulation Cross Immortal Sovereign! All the treasures in the world are mine for the taking. Once I fancy something, those big shots would send them right over. But now, I actually have to worry about forking up the cash to buy a jade flute. Damn, this is too shameful!’

Soong Anqi put up an act and pretended to be careful, but she already had thought of something. She secretly checked the price tag of one of the flutes, and the cheapest one on the shelf was one hundred and sixty-five yuan.

The young girl picked up the jade flute and said with a smile on her face, “The craftsmanship of this flute is exquisite. Brother Meng, I want this one!”

Meng Ran could see that it was just an ordinary jade flute. Even though it was made out of white marble, it had too many impurities. In plain and simple terms, it was just a low-grade jade flute. Meng Ran seemed to hesitate momentarily before asking, “How much is this flute?”

The Boss Lady clearly understood that the young lady was only trying to save money for Meng Ran, so she deliberately chose the cheapest merchandise. She naturally would keep this to herself. Her following words were very polite. “One hundred and sixty-five, but I’ll only charge you one hundred and fifty yuan.”

Meng Ran knitted his brow when that entered his ears. Meng Ran had a total of five hundred yuan in his wallet. This was the very first time he was giving someone something, and he was about to give them a cheap present. This wasn’t something the Immortal Sovereign Tairan could take.

“Do you want to choose another one? I still have some money. I can afford to pay for it even if it’s a little more expensive.”

Soong Anqi shook her head vehemently and insisted that this jade flute was the one she wanted.

Meng Ran, who had thousands of years of experience under his belt, could definitely see right through Soong Anqi’s guise. She wanted him to save money by picking the cheapest one. His heart overflowed with warm feelings, and he didn’t say anything else as he directly bought the flute.

“Madam Wang, can you keep the shop open for longer? I want to teach her how to play the flute right now. We’ll be done in a jiffy.” Meng Ran looked earnestly at the shop owner.

“Yes, it’s perfectly fine. Go ahead and teach her. There are not that many young people nowadays who know how to play the flute. I want to sit in on your lesson, too.” The middle-aged woman had a kind smile on her face as she brought two stools over for the two of them. She even prepared a pot of expensive tea they could enjoy.

“Brother Meng Ran, you really know how to play the flute?” Soong Anqi, who with her band-aid and big bright eyes that were constantly blinking, looked really cute right then.

Meng Ran nodded his head, but his thoughts were a little chaotic at the moment.

In his previous lifetime, Meng Ran exhibited extraordinary talent, making vast progress with his path of cultivation. He had conquered all the heaven’s pride experts, which made countless goddesses and fairies secretly fall in love with him. However, in the end, Meng Ran only had eyes for Jade Pool Fairy.

That same year, peach blossoms fluttered to the ground by the shores of Jade River. Meng Ran, who had just stepped into his role as Immortal Sovereign, faced four Immortal Sovereign giants by himself.

Jade Pool Fairy had even transformed herself into a Dao Body. Her actual body and the Dao Body both performed a zither and flute performance, playing a song called “King’s Landing” for Meng Ran.

In that life, the Immortal Sovereign Tairan’s white clothes were pretty much always stained with blood, and peach blossoms were constantly raining down. With the beautiful melody from that peerless beauty to accompany him, he fought with the four Immortal Sovereigns for three days and three whole nights, finally breaking through to the next level on the shores of Jade River.

However, no one cared about his breakthrough, nor did they care about the four Immortal Sovereigns, who were seriously injured and lay dying on the ground.

The only thing everyone cared about was the white robe.

By the side of Jade River, the waters were roaring and surging. Immortal Sovereign Tairan’s white robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked like a peerless hero who had come to save the day.

After that battle was over, only Immortal Sovereign Tairan, Jade Pool Fairy, and that song “King’s Landing” existed in the entire universe. Everything else fell to the wayside.

“Brother Meng Ran, what song do you want to teach me how to play?”

Soong Anqi’s lovely voice brought Meng Ran directly back down to Earth.

Meng Ran didn’t bother to say anything. At this moment, he was still wearing white clothes, just like that time long ago. His hands were behind his back as he looked at the bright moon and muttered, “'King’s Landing'!”

Soong Anqi and the middle-aged women were at a loss for words when they heard this song’s title. They could be considered experts in music, but they had never heard of this song before in their lives.

At this moment, if those immortals in the starry sky heard that Meng Ran wanted to teach a mere mortal this song, they would burst out laughing. In all of the galaxies, only Jade Pool Fairy could play it. It was her song. Even those super experts who relied on music to become an Immortal Sovereign were incapable of playing it!

Meng Ran still had his face turned to the bright moon, and his back was toward the two other women. However, he could only sigh heavily. Suddenly, the jade flute Soong Anqi was holding actually flew out of her hands and toward Meng Ran!

Under the bright light of the moon, the white-clothed youth held the jade flute next to his lips and started to play the famous song again!

‘Time passes by very slowly. Would you drink with me?’

The divine body’s demons suppressed heaven’s pride, and Meng Ran played the fairy music proudly!

The sound of the flute was as beguiling as water, as if it were filled with both grief and sorrow and contentment all at once. The song contained all sorts of life as if there was tenderness in war and hardness in a mother’s lullaby.

The two women behind Meng Ran smiled sadly, and sometimes they’d even covered their faces as tears streamed down their cheeks. When the song entered their ears, they were awoken to a scene.

In this scene, a youth dressed from head to toe in white was bathed in blood and fought his enemies viciously. He was the sort of person who could shock everyone. There seemed to be a peerless beauty next to him, quickly playing the zither to accompany him during his battle.

As the last note lingered in the air, Meng Ran lowered his flute, signaling the song's ending.

At this moment, outside the window, the world was silent, and there was not a sound. Everything seemed to be intoxicated by his song and seemed unable to extricate themselves from the melody that was just played. Even the bright moonlight seemed gentler now, as if the song's softness had inspired it.

Under the wan moonlight, the white-clothed youth slowly turned around only to discover that the two people’s cheeks behind him were soaked with tears. The music they just heard had moved them deeply.

Those who were present that night could not forget. On the night of October 11, 2010, Meng Ran played “King’s Landing” on the West Street of Xing Cheng District in Jiangzhou!
