Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Inside the grand hall of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One, the doors were tightly shut, with only Chu Mo, the master of the house, and the guest, Yu Junjun, along with more than a dozen maids and the butler, Danny, present.

The curtains were drawn, leaving the room in total darkness, and the only source of light was the projecting screen in front of them. At this moment, everyone, including the maids, was staring intently at the screen without blinking, each person holding their breath in concentration.

The opening scene had lasted only a short ten seconds or so, but it was enough to captivate everyone's attention. In Chu Mo's faintly beating heart, the screen in front of him shifted again to reveal an enchanting figure slowly emerging where the sea met the horizon.

It was as if she was brewing something, or perhaps anticipating something, and the next moment, as the girl opened her dazzling eyes, the sun and the moon paled in comparison!

Just then, celestial sounds imbued with loneliness and spirituality began to drift slowly to the ear!

"All living humans are like great fish from the depths of the sea.

At birth, they set out from the far side of the ocean.

Their lives, like traversing the vast sea.

Sometimes meeting, sometimes parting,

When they die, they reach the shore.

To each, their own world!!"

As if whispers from the ninth heaven reverberated in the ears, in that instant, the echoing of profound and ancient cries of great fish filled the azure sky.

"Moo...!"

The screen shifted again, and in the eyes of the barefoot girl on the shore, the endless sky was reflected. Above, where clouds came and went, immense fishes, tranquil and content, moved across the heavens!

"Glub...!"

The sudden sound of swallowing brought Chu Mo back from his boundless reverie. Turning his head, he found a petite maid behind him, gently licking her lips, apparently mesmerized by the scene on the screen. That small maid named Little Bell, was so engrossed in the large screen that she didn't even notice Chu Mo's gaze.

Chu Mo did not speak; he shifted his gaze away from the maid and looked beside him. There, as quiet as a whisper, the girl whose beauty could shame fairies and had extremely long hair, made a silent appearance by his side.

A memory suddenly surfaced in his mind. He remembered writing an article years ago about the ancient four great beauties, and how their stunning beauty had influenced generations.

He remembered reading a comment under that article.

"If there really were fairies in this world...

What would they look like?"

The Chu Mo of the past could not answer that question as he always felt that merely using phrases like 'nation's calamity' or 'heavenly fragrance and national beauty' were too hollow and insufficient.

Such answers were better left ungiven.

Now, in the distinguished and elegant room of Emperor Xuan Villas, right in his own room, when that girl with the graceful figure appeared before him, and when she softly opened her eyes as bright as the stars, to the ancient and melodious song of the great fish by his ears, Chu Mo finally found his answer.

So-called 'a fairy descent'... must be like the girl beside me!

In this moment, Chu Mo quietly observed the perfect profile of the long-haired girl by his side, his eyes filled with tender emotion.

In the heart of Chu Mo, even if the world were to shatter next moment, he felt his life was complete.

Chu Mo, with a smile of tenderness on his lips, turned his gaze back to the screen. In the picture, the girl, lifting her cheeks lightly, faced the rising sun at the end of the sea and sang with her lips slightly parted.

"...

The silent waves drowned the deep night

Spreading to the corners beyond the sky

The great fish swim through the cracks in dreams

Gazing at your sleeping silhouette

...!"

The rising sun finally broke through the clouds, and as the golden sunlight spilled across the sea, the whole horizon was drenched in an endless, brilliant golden hue.

The vast sea's surface, with clouds as pure as cotton candy, was spotless and unblemished.

As the picture progressed, a huge form seemed to cover the sun and swept across the screen like a canopy; those were great fish flying in the sky.

Merely such dreamlike scenery was enough to provide an incomparable visual shock.

At that moment, the song of the heavens echoed throughout the entire hall; everyone's eyes widened, and the shock was indescribable at the bottom of their eyes.

"...

I fear you flying too far away, leaving me

I fear even more you staying here forever

Every tear flows towards you

Back into the sky's ocean floor

...!"

In that moment, Chu Mo suddenly recalled the scene from a fortnight ago at the pavilion in the Magic City Park, where a girl with floor-length hair sang passionately. When he first heard her clean, clear, gentle, and ethereal voice, Chu Mo felt a tingling all over his body; it was a cleansing of the soul, as if being baptised within her singing.

This time, when the renowned composer tailored a song for the girl and a top music master personally taught her singing techniques, her voice reached a new level. Her voice was no longer merely ethereal and melodious but carried an otherworldly charm that was impossible to resist.
