Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1204 - 1184: Debauched Music That Can Devour the Heavenly Melody

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1184: Debauched Music That Can Devour the Heavenly Melody

Huangfu Yihui was indeed neither hurried nor slow, raising his hand to stroke the zither.

The gentle and smooth melody slowly flowed from beneath his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, it felt like entering a jungle environment, surrounded by lush forests and bamboo groves, where floating goblets danced on flowing streams, and cute little animals surrounded them, with birds chirping and cicadas singing, making one want to sit down on the ground and enjoy this infinite scenery.

But in the next moment, the sound of the zither changed, its aggressive and fierce notes slicing through the serene jungle, as if a leopard had charged into the peaceful scene, viciously tearing it apart, disrupting the original exquisiteness; just moments ago, the merry little creatures had instantly turned into blood and corpses.

Blood dripped from the leopard’s teeth, its fierce gaze intimidating the little animals.

The little animals shivered and curled up together trembling...

"Squeak squeak..."

The sudden sound snapped several people out of the magical world brought by the music, only to see a shocking scene before their eyes...

The Heaven Devouring Rat, as if gone berserk, resembled a shopping frenzy during a massive sale, recklessly crashing against anything nearby, be it companions or trees, harming not only others but also themselves.

The violent collisions tinged the surrounding scene with a shade of red.

Even Luo Qianqian was shocked, covering her mouth, and as she turned around, she saw Haan Yun and Tang Tianyi with blood-red eyes, Tang Tianyi’s face showing a conspicuous hint of resistance.

Two torches fell to the ground, leaving only faint flames, and after a moment of silence, Luo Qianqian extinguished them to prevent more severe consequences.

However, Yan beside them remained unaffected.

What’s happening? Luo Qianqian dared not touch the two individuals casually, only helplessly covering her mouth in worry.

Behind Huangfu Yihui, everyone wore a black object on their ears, seemingly blocking the sound?

Luo Qianqian, with furrowed brows, feeling the music’s sound wouldn’t affect her, decisively reached out to cover Tang Tianyi’s ears.

The red in Tang Tianyi’s eyes gradually receded, noticing the girl tip-toeing to cover his ears, a gentle expression crossed his face.

Patting Luo Qianqian’s hand, he covered his ears, allowing Luo Qianqian to breathe a sigh of relief, then glanced at Haan Yun and the unmoving Yan, resignedly stepping forward to cover Haan Yun’s ears.

But then a sudden change occurred!

Haan Yun suddenly grabbed a dagger and swung it forward, the dagger emitted sounds of cutting through the air.

Luo Qianqian’s body reacted before her brain, already leaping out of Haan Yun’s attack range, her face still filled with shock.

At the same time, the frenzied rat horde, seemingly guided by something, began attacking each other, slaughtering themselves...

Luo Qianqian looked in shock at Huangfu Yihui sitting with eyes closed playing the zither; it seemed a little impressive? Controlling minds?

However, now wasn’t the time for her to randomly idolize anyone!

Seeing Haan Yun already close, Luo Qianqian didn’t hesitate to pull out...a feather duster, and struck Haan Yun forcefully.

This was the only non-damaging way she could think of to convey pain.

But swinging the feather duster only confirmed the target for Haan Yun...

His blood-red eyes locked onto Luo Qianqian, seemingly enraged.

"You brat!" Luo Qianqian, seeing such an expression, was also furious; clearly she meant well, yet suddenly it seemed like she had done wrong? Even getting resented?

The next moment, Haan Yun halted his actions, then toppled straight down.

Luo Qianqian finally realized the change in music, seemingly more akin to a lullaby than just now’s murderous intent; the melody was gentle and soft, like a wild lake in the forest, with moonlight casting upon the water, occasionally a fish would surface, creating ripples.

The sound of the zither gradually subsided, Huangfu Yihui slowly opened his eyes, seeing everything before him, his heart skipped a beat, despite being prepared, it was still somewhat unbelievable.

Turning his head, he saw Luo Qianqian holding a feather duster aimed at the fallen individual.

"What is this..." Huangfu Yihui’s voice seemed a bit awkward and worried, as though the music had exhausted a significant part of his energy.

Luo Qianqian put away the feather duster, waved her hand: "It’s alright, he’s just mimicking those rats." Walking to Haan Yun, she angrily kicked his shoe; if it had been a friend, she would have kicked his rear.

"Ow..." Haan Yun slowly opened his eyes, suddenly holding his arm, rolling up his sleeve, he saw a red mark and looked in disbelief at those in front of him: "What’s happening here?"

Previously that kid seemed to play the zither or something, then he couldn’t remember anything anymore.

He hesitantly looked at Luo Qianqian: "You guys didn’t hit me, did you?"

"How could we?" Luo Qianqian denied flatly, stepping back two steps from Haan Yun with a serious face and a timid look: "You were terrifying earlier, nearly biting someone, then grabbed a torch and fiercely beat yourself up, truly scary indeed!"

But, my right arm hurts...

Haan Yun skeptically eyed Luo Qianqian but couldn’t voice his doubts, since everyone else seemed unaffected.

Focusing again, he noticed a heap of Heaven Devouring Rats lying motionless, his eyes widened immediately: "Wow, all dead?"

"Pretty much, let’s go." Yan indeed offered no explanation, and no one dismantled Luo Qianqian’s jest, neither their own team nor the opposing one.

Joke’s on them, she wasn’t forewarned yet remained unaffected, such a person was beyond comparison to mere followers.

"Alright then." Luo Qianqian nodded, pretending to retrieve something from her chest, walked to Huangfu Yihui’s side, and handed him a piece of chocolate wrapped in parchment: "Eat this to replenish your energy? You’ve worked hard."

Huangfu Yihui was initially stunned, then smiled and nodded.

His followers hadn’t a chance to stop him before he already stuffed it in his mouth: "Tastes pretty good."

"Glad you like it." Luo Qianqian gently smiled: "By the way, where’d you learn to play such a tune?"

Huangfu Yihui’s complexion slightly changed, giving Luo Qianqian a deep look, without answering, he asked in return: "You want to learn?"

"Of course!" Luo Qianqian nodded eagerly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Such a method, requiring no bloodshed or soldiers, was truly awesome!

"Then shall I teach you?" Huangfu Yihui gazed into Luo Qianqian’s innocent eyes devoid of fear and mildly smiled: "I learned from a book I got when I was young, but unfortunately I no longer have it..." revealing a trace of regret.

"Did you jump off a cliff?" Luo Qianqian was stunned, then appeared full of gossip.

Isn’t it said in ancient times that jumping off cliffs leads to encounters, either Cultivation Techniques or Miraculous Elixirs?

Though this isn’t exactly ancient times, it is a world rich in cultural cultivation.

"No." Huangfu Yihui shook his head: "I found it in the Royal Family treasury."

Royal Family treasury? Sounds like it’s filled with endless riches!

Luo Qianqian enviably thought, wondering when she’d own a treasury herself.
