Upon hearing this, a smile immediately bloomed on Lin Yuan’s face.

“Chimey, I remember that you asked me to teach you how to sing songs before your deep sleep. Coincidentally, I have a song that I want to teach you.”

After speaking, Lin Yuan began to hum.

Once Chimey heard that Lin Yuan wanted to teach it how to sing, its eyes instantly lit up.

“Drops of dew land on my sleeves,

The delicate sun shines gently on the lotus boat,

As the reeds sway, swallows and sparrows twitter,

Between the white rocks at the creek’s edge, the setting sun chases the flowing stream.

Yet, blame the autumn wind and the green leaves for the long journey.

With hearts aligned and shared plans,

We scale the rugged roads, guarding each other.

A hundred years I spend with you from dusk till dawn,

Surrounded by rivers and mountains, scenery of old.

And in my eyes, your beauty surpasses that of the breathtaking landscape.”

Chimey leaped from Lin Yuan’s outer ear to his shoulder, listening carefully to every note in the melody of Lin Yuan’s song with its head tilted.

It could be said that as a Sound Bird, Chimey’s first teacher had always been one person, and that person was none other than Lin Yuan.

However, ever since Chimey had begun live streaming on Star Web without informing Lin Yuan, it felt as though it had done something wrong with regard to learning how to sing.

Hence, every time Lin Yuan sang, Chimey could never work up the courage to tell him that it wished to learn how to sing. It could only rely on its natural musical talent as a Sound Bird to learn Lin Yuan’s songs secretly.

However, the feeling of learning in secret was completely different from that of receiving Lin Yuan’s voluntary teaching honestly as it perched on his shoulder.

Chimey’s small brain could not help but think about how Lin Yuan would feel when he received its surprise box next year.

Nevertheless, Chimey had a premonition that its online cover as Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess would soon be blown.

Chimey could not remember how long it had slept to evolve its bloodline, and it didn’t know if its fans on Star Web still remembered it.

Previously, when Chimey had been singing on Star Web, it would only sing, never uttering a single word beyond the lyrics.

Suddenly, Chimey had the idea of greeting its audience in the live-streaming room the next time it did a live stream.

However, before Chimey could solidify its thoughts, it became completely enraptured by Lin Yuan’s crooning.

As a Sound Bird, Chimey had a strong talent for music engraved in its genetics.

Naturally, it had its own understanding and preferences when it came to music and could easily differentiate between good and bad songs.

This song that Lin Yuan was currently teaching was surprisingly similar to the first song he had tirelessly taught.

The more Chimey listened, the more moved it became. It began flapping its wings and dancing in midair to Lin Yuan’s voice.

At that moment, Genius climbed on Lin Yuan’s shoulder and lay down quietly as though it couldn’t get cozier, enjoying the rare peace of the years.

Genius and Lin Yuan had ventured into a dimensional rift once and survived.

It could be said that surviving inside the dimensional rift had been an afterthought at that time.

This had caused Genius to mature significantly.

After that calamity, Genius had seen Chimey wake up from a deep slumber and felt unusually fortunate.

Nevertheless, Genius now suddenly noticed two scratches on the cloth at Lin Yuan’s shoulder.

Genius soon realized that these two scratches had been made as it had been watching Chimey’s body being mashed into a fleshy ball. Genius had accidentally scratched the fabric with one of its sharp claws within its pink paw pad.

Genius immediately used its small paw pad to rub the area on Lin Yuan’s shoulder where the fabric had been scratched like a child who had done something wrong.

As it rubbed, Genius lowered its head, opened its mouth, and exhaled two soft breaths.

Learning from how Lin Yuan had been taking care of it when it was younger, it murmured softly in its heart, “Yuan, after Genius blows on this, it won’t hurt any longer.”

After singing the song from his memory, Lin Yuan grew quiet.

Although his singing could not be considered very good, it was still better than average.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had a habit when he listened to songs; he would firmly remember the lyrics to his favorite songs.

Hence, Lin Yuan knew most of the words to the songs that he knew how to sing. While he might not have remembered a few of the words, he would still fill in his own lyrics based on the song’s melody and meaning.

After hearing Chimey’s human voice just then, Lin Yuan had thought that it would still have been most suitable for singing traditional-style songs.

The rhetoric of such songs was elegant and graceful, like fragrant tea with a light wine.

In its refreshing tranquility, there was a subtle but meaningful charm.

Lin Yuan had long known that Chimey enjoyed singing. Now, he knew that it really liked learning songs too. Thus, he decided to periodically teach Chimey traditional-style songs from his repertoire.

It was very easy to teach Chimey as it was a Sound Bird. Lin Yuan only needed to sing a song once before Chimey mastered the fundamentals of the piece.

Upon seeing Chimey flapping its wings in rapture, Lin Yuan asked with a smile, “How much has Chimey remembered? Do you still need me to repeat it again?”

Upon hearing this, Chimey immediately spread its wings and landed on the cinnamon stick of the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.

Because the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus had received a large amount of pure spiritual power in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and had been bathed in World Grace when planted on the Pure Land of Bliss, its originally sparse branches were now blossoming with sweet-smelling, vermilion osmanthus.

Chimey landed like the last bundle of rice straw that would crush a camel.

The osmanthus that had barely been clinging to the branches fell down, beginning a colorful rain of red flowers.

The faint fragrance of osmanthus permeated the air, its sweetness making the air a little gentler.

At that moment, Chimey learned Lin Yuan’s tune and began to sing softly.

Upon hearing Chimey’s voice, Lin Yuan was immediately drawn to it.

A painting surfaced in his mind.

In other words, Lin Yuan himself seemed to have stepped into the painting, becoming the person inside it who was admiring the scenery before him.

He saw a young girl in front of him, rowing a boat under the bright sun.

“Love songs are sung elegantly,

Picking lotus and living,

From day to night,

Spring and autumn together.”

By the white banks of the creek, she would wait for her lover’s return, begging the easterly wind’s tenderness to reunite them.

Lin Yuan had long grown accustomed to Chimey’s singing voice, but he was still taken aback by its evolved voice.

Now that Chimey had learned to speak like a human, both its voice and technique had improved greatly.

Even its clear enunciation made the entire song come alive.

If Chimey’s voice had been comparable to those grand singers in Lin Yuan’s previous life in all aspects before evolving, it was now so beautiful that it would have been named the Best Songstress in the Universe by music fans.

Even the Trisolaran natives would love flowers and peace if they heard the sound of Chimey’s singing.

Nevertheless, it was also at that moment that Lin Yuan’s heart suddenly quivered.

He had seen the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia on the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus falling in the rain of flowers.

This scene implanted itself in Lin Yuan’s eyes, making him feel as though his life was being shaken to the core.

He quickly stepped forward and used True Data to scan the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia’s attributes.
