Chapter 2071 "The God of Nature" loves this world, but the angel's love is forever given to you alone.
At first, it was just a clear, cold single note that rippled almost imperceptibly in the air; then, the second and third notes followed lightly, and the melody seemed to find its own breath and flow out.
That was not a melody known to anyone in the world.
The piano keys transformed into a gentle breeze at Touma Kazusa's fingertips. Her eyes were closed, and she forgot about technique, rules, and even the act of "playing" itself.
She merely became a medium, awkwardly yet movingly translating the fresh and abundant "voices" about the world that flooded her mind in that instant into her mind, using the only language she was proficient in.
Unbeknownst to her, as the music flowed, subtle changes were taking place in this ordinary music room.
On the windowsill, the once somewhat drooping pothos plant's aerial roots seemed to curl upwards in sync with the music, as if greedily absorbing the rain and dew contained within the music.
The afternoon sunlight, slanting through the glass window, illuminated every tiny speck of dust in the air.
The invisible moisture in the air seemed to become exceptionally warm and pleasant under the vibrations of the piano music, and every breath was filled with the fresh scent of a forest after the rain, even though there was no rain outside the window.
All of these "responses" were extremely subtle, almost like hallucinations.
The wind was still the wind, the light was still the light, and the plants remained still; there was no obvious sign of any supernatural force.
But this is precisely the initial manifestation of the "Celestial Music Path," which is not about forcibly driving all things with human power, but about harmonizing one's mind with the rhythm of nature, playing notes that can create a subtle "resonance" with all things, thereby triggering a natural "echo" from the environment.
This music was the first innocent and sincere note that Touma Kazusa, with her newly awakened "sharp ears," uttered to the world.
And the world responded in its silent and gentle way.
Time flows quietly like water.
Touma Kazusa's life was the same as always: going to school, practicing the piano, occasionally exchanging a few words with everyone in the chat group, sharing some daily life, or quietly observing and watching other group members chat.
But some things are different now.
The way she listens to the world, the feeling she gets when her fingertips touch the piano keys, are all imbued with a spiritual quality.
She began to consciously listen to the "sounds of nature" that had been overlooked, and incorporated them into her daily practice and occasional improvisations, like a child who had just discovered a new toy, tirelessly exploring the infinite possibilities of sound.
The worlds of the other group members are also unfolding on their own paths.
Su Yunqing continued the Holy Grail War in her world, Tony Stark was busy in his laboratory, occasionally showing off his new inventions; Marquis Voban was developing technology in his own world.
Bai Xuan was the same.
In the real world, in the microcosm.
The clear blue sky was dotted with a few fluffy, cotton-candy-like clouds, and the sunlight was warm but not scorching, falling evenly like the finest golden gauze.
The earth is covered with a thick, soft green carpet, and various flowers cluster together, swaying gently in the wind and exuding a fresh, natural fragrance.
Pikachu happily chases the flickering light from the tail of a Firefly among the grass; Bulbasaur lies quietly under a giant sunflower-like plant, its seed buds on its back photosynthesizing and emitting a faint green hue.
Pidgey and Pidgeotto flitted among the treetops, their calls clear and melodious; Gardevoir stood quietly beneath a tree with pale blue flowers, like a guardian spirit of the forest.
They blend perfectly with the surrounding plants, streams, and earth, without the slightest incongruity, as if they were creatures born of this natural world, enjoying the tranquility and abundance of this place.
The air is filled with a refreshing atmosphere; with each breath, one feels relaxed and refreshed, and all distracting thoughts disappear.
Bai Xuan sat casually on a flat blue stone by the stream, his expression more peaceful and gentle than ever before.
Those eyes, which seemed to reflect the vast world and endless stars, were now quietly gazing at everything before them.
Swaying flowers and grasses, babbling brooks, and playful Pokémon.
His gaze was so focused, yet so far-reaching.
Beside him, Angel Zhixin wore a white dress that fit her figure perfectly, and her long golden hair flowed over her shoulders like sunlight.
Unlike Bai Xuan, she didn't gaze at everything. Instead, she turned her head slightly, her clear eyes fixed on Bai Xuan's profile without blinking.
Her gaze held only tenderness and longing for Bai Xuan.
She was his guardian angel, the center of her world. From the moment they made their vows, she was the only one for him.
The tranquility and beauty of the surroundings lasted for a moment. Angel Zhixin took a small step forward, getting closer to her idol.
Looking at Bai Xuan's perfect profile, and then at his hand casually resting on his knee with its distinct knuckles, a thought naturally arose within her.
"My idol, shall I give you a massage?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan withdrew his gaze from the hazy mountain mists in the distance, turned his head slightly, and looked at the face of the angel Zhi Xin beside him.
He looked at her, without asking why, but a gentle smile, as soft as a spring breeze melting snow, naturally appeared on his lips.
"it is good."
Upon hearing Bai Xuan's words, Angel Zhixin's eyes seemed to brighten even more.
She went around behind Bai Xuan, knelt down on the grass by the bluestone, and sat slightly to the side, which made it easier for her to move around and allowed her gaze to linger on her idol's profile and back.
Then he gently pressed on Bai Xuan's shoulder.
Bai Xuan relaxed his body accordingly, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be truly enjoying this moment of comfort.
After a while, Angel Zhixin's fingers gradually moved beyond the shoulders and neck, and began to try to move upwards, gently combing through the hair at the back of Bai Xuan's head.
Suddenly, she stopped massaging him, but her hands didn't leave. Instead, she gently placed them on his shoulders, leaned forward slightly, and almost rested her chin on his shoulder.
"My idol, aren't you curious? Aren't you curious why I suddenly acted this way?"
Zhi Xin's words carried a hint of playfulness.
Bai Xuan didn't turn around, but instead focused his gaze on the golden glints dancing in the stream, his voice tinged with amusement:
"Oh? Then why did Zhixin suddenly become like this?"
Hearing his amused question, Zhixin didn't blush or back down. Instead, she deliberately nuzzled her chin against his shoulder like a spoiled cat, and then said affectionately:
"Because you spend far more time looking at these shows than you do looking at Zhi Xin, my idol."
"Moreover, Zhi Xin wanted to make her male god more comfortable. Appropriate physical contact and relaxation can help promote the secretion of dopamine and serotonin, and enhance feelings of pleasure and belonging."
"Even though my idol might not need these things, I still want to do them."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan's smile deepened, a smile that contained both all-knowing gentleness and complete indulgence.
He didn't immediately respond to Zhi Xin's words, which carried a hint of "accusation." Instead, he turned his head slightly and quietly looked at her for a while with his eyes, which reflected only her image.
His gaze was so focused, as if it temporarily blocked out everything around him, locking her alone in the center of his vision.
As Angel Zhixin was being stared at like that, her heart skipped a beat, then started pounding like a Pikachu in her pocket.
"The world is part of my spiritual practice; and you are my guardian angel, my choice, the person I am willing to stop and walk alongside to see this world."
Bai Xuan didn't say the word "love," but every word he uttered made Zhi Xin's heart tremble more than any straightforward words of love.
Zhi Xin felt a surge of heat flowing from her heart to her limbs, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot. Her little bit of "greed" that had arisen from "comparison" vanished instantly in the face of these words, replaced by a happiness and peace of mind that almost overwhelmed her.
Yes, how could she forget?
Her idol is the son of nature, almost an embodiment of the "Tao".
His gaze swept over all things, stemming from the most fundamental love and understanding of heaven and earth, which was part of his being.
But she was a choice he made within this boundless "love," a choice unique to the individual "Bai Xuan" rather than the identity of "Child of Nature."
Her fingers, which were massaging his shoulders and neck, unconsciously became gentler. Her gaze lingered on the perfect profile of his face, but her thoughts drifted back to a more distant time, to her first meeting with Bai Xuan.
At that time, Bai Xuan had already stepped into the realm of gods.
His appearance is not the kind of handsomeness that can be described by ordinary words, but a manifestation of the concept of "perfection" itself. It transcends gender and racial aesthetics and goes straight to the essence of "beauty".
What's even more captivating is the tranquil, inclusive, and ever-renewing natural aura surrounding him, which inspires longing and even fascination in people.
At that time, Zhixin was a young scholar of the Angelic Civilization and a high-ranking guardian angel of Queen Keisha. She was rational, intelligent, and loyal, and had a firm belief in justice and order. However, her understanding of "love" mostly came from data analysis in the knowledge treasury and occasional discussions with her colleagues.
Until she was ordered to come to this world and met someone whom even Queen Keisha and Teacher He Xi treated with utmost respect.
The initial impact is revolutionary.
It was not just a visual shock, but an attraction on a spiritual level; he was so perfect it seemed unreal, yet he stood there so real.
In that instant, amidst her breathtaking beauty and charm, Zhi Xin, without even realizing it herself, planted a seed called "admiration."
Later, she became his guardian angel.
Queen Keisha had her reasons for making this decision, but for Zhixin, once she made the vow and entrusted him with both the sword and her heart, the initial attraction based on appearance began to take root and grow, transforming into the form of "love".
In the daily companionship and protection, she saw not only the divinity and perfection of the "God of Nature", but also "Bai Xuan" himself.
She began to understand that love is not just about genetic attraction or data matching, but also about the heart's desire, the resonance of souls, and the longing to share everything with and connect with someone.
Seeing his smile makes the sunshine seem brighter; noticing even the slightest furrow in his brow makes me want to do everything I can to smooth it away; even if I do nothing but stay quietly by his side, feeling his presence, I feel that time is peaceful and life is serene.
She was incredibly grateful that Queen Keisha and Teacher He Xi had chosen her, and even more delighted that Bai Xuan had accepted her vow and allowed her to stay by his side.
This sense of good fortune often filled her heart.
She loved him, loved his all-encompassing divinity, and loved the occasional glimmer of humanity he revealed.
She also knew that his love was as vast as heaven and earth, benefiting all living beings and nourishing all things.
He loves the planet beneath his feet, its rushing rivers, majestic mountains, and lush forests, and every living creature.
But love may be inherently selfish, especially after one has realized their own feelings.
As a scholar, Zhi Xin once thought that her emotions could always maintain the rationality and restraint that an angel should have; but as her love deepened, she found that she had changed.
She would unconsciously expect him to linger his gaze longer, and would feel a subtle, even surprising, sense of comparison when he stared at a cloud or a flower for a long time.
Although reason told her that this was unnecessary, even somewhat "unreasonable".
Just now, she blurted out something that sounded almost like a spoiled complaint: "Because you spend so much more time looking at these things than at Zhi Xin, my idol."
This was completely out of character for her, as a calm and composed angelic scholar, yet her desire to monopolize his gaze was so real and intense.
Love changes people.
Zhi Xin never imagined that she would become so "greedy" one day, so greedy that those eyes that reflected the stars and the universe would linger only for her.
He greedily wanted to occupy a unique and important corner in his vast and boundless world.
She greedily enjoyed the tenderness and indulgence he occasionally showed only to her, and craved more.
This "greed" left her somewhat bewildered, yet it also made her feel a sense of reality.
It seems that only now, in the process of loving Bai Xuan and experiencing all sorts of "imperfect" emotions because of this love, has she truly come to understand what it means to "live," what it means to exist as an "individual" with rich emotions, and not just an angel warrior or scholar carrying out a mission.
At this moment, feeling the relaxed texture of his skin beneath my fingertips, listening to his even breathing, and bathing in his gentle aura of complete acceptance, the slight unease in my heart caused by realizing my "greed" ultimately transformed into a deeper longing.
She knew he couldn't possibly only have eyes for her, but she also knew that in his heart, she was a unique "choice".
This is enough.
At least for now, at this moment, his gaze lingered on her because of her words, his smile blossomed because of her, and he gave his relaxation and trust to her behind him without reservation.
My idol, Zhi Xin will always be here for you.
I'll always be watching over you, protecting you, and loving you.
Even if you share your love with the whole world, your burning love is only for you.
