My sister is Luna
Chapter 60 A Prosperous and Flourishing Era (Part 1)
Dawn breaks.
The chirping birds sing praises to today's beauty.
"Ah... a new day starts with sleeping in, and I'm going to dream about my lovely little sister again."
Cain looked up sleepily, sighed for a moment, and then crawled back into his bed.
Although I was sleeping on a bed with a sheet on a hard floor, it didn't disturb my sleep.
"Kain, what nonsense are you talking about? The day's work begins in the morning, how can you waste it like this? Get up now..."
Shangguan Wan'er had already changed into men's clothing while Cain was taking a nap. She pulled back the silk curtain that served as a curtain, yanked off Cain's blanket, and was immediately terrified by the sight before her. She screamed:
"Aaaaaah! Why aren't you dressed?!"
"Huh? What's wrong? Sleeping... isn't sleeping naked a normal common sense thing?" Cain rubbed his sleepy eyes.
His perfect body was exposed to Shangguan Wan'er. He had just woken up and, bathed in the morning sunlight streaming through the window, exuded a languid beauty.
"So...so big..." Shangguan Wan'er muttered in disbelief, her face flushed.
"Huh? What did you just say?" Cain asked, still confused, and pulled the blanket back over himself.
"No... That's not common sense! You... Don't you feel ashamed exposing your body in front of a girl?! Also, stop sleeping!" Shangguan Wan'er immediately blushed and changed the subject.
"Oh dear, you've been changing my dressings for so long since I passed out, and you've looked at my body countless times. What's there to be shy about? Besides, I'm the one who's at a disadvantage. Alright, go practice your calligraphy over there. I'm going to sleep."
Cain didn't care at all, happily wrapped himself in the blanket, and was about to fall asleep again.
"You...you..." Shangguan Wan'er's lips twitched, whether from anger or embarrassment. She lost her mind in shame and anger, and her seemingly thin fist struck Cain's forehead with great force with a "thud".
"Wan'er, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Cain apologized softly with a bitter face.
Feeling a dull ache and redness on his forehead, Cain felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. He didn't really want to sleep in, but the physical damage made him want to sleep to reduce the body's consumption. Yes, there were objective factors at play.
As for sleeping naked, it's just a more comfortable way for Cain to sleep.
Unfortunately, the shy Shangguan Wan'er didn't know that Cain was a pervert who loved to sleep naked.
The two walked down the street. Shangguan Wan'er ignored him, while Kaiyin walked beside her. To onlookers, they looked like two friends chatting about something while out for a stroll.
"I'll never do it again, really... Here's what we'll do: to make it up to you, you can ask me for anything... as long as it's not excessive." Seeing Wan'er ignoring him, Cain said in a pained voice.
"Hoo..." Shangguan Wan'er let out a deep breath, looking at Cain expressionlessly and saying:
"I accept, but please remember I'm a girl. Don't think that just because we live under the same roof, I can be so careless about my image or have such casual thoughts. I'm just taking care of you as a friend," Shangguan Wan'er explained, blushing.
"If I find you doing this again, you'll have to take care of yourself."
"Yes, I got carried away. I'm very sorry," Cain admitted.
"As for this request, let me think about it carefully. I can't just make a hasty decision." Shangguan Wan'er said with a mysterious smile.
"Big brother, whatever makes you happy." Cain smiled wryly, feeling like he was about to be ripped off.
"Now that the problem is solved, I'll take you to see Chang'an. It has many fun places and other exciting activities. You'll definitely think it's the best and most prosperous city in the world, and you'll fall in love with it."
With a proud smile, Shangguan Wan'er led Cain on a stroll.
……
"That's the Dali Temple. Our brilliant judge, Di Renjie, works here. It's all thanks to you, Lord Di, that we have the peaceful and harmonious Chang'an we see today..." Shangguan Wan'er said, pointing to a huge mansion.
"You have no idea that before Lord Di took office, Chang'an was rife with gangs and black markets, and these evil forces were everywhere you couldn't see. Now they are basically gone. All of this was done by him alone, with his decisive and efficient actions. Lord Di has made great contributions to the development of Chang'an and is also an invaluable assistant to Her Majesty the Empress." Shangguan Wan'er said with great admiration.
"That's really impressive," Cain exclaimed in admiration. Suddenly, he saw a boy walk out of the door and stare straight at him, his big, round ears twitching from time to time.
"It's the adorable boy Li Yuanfang," Cain thought to himself, waving to him with a kind smile.
Li Yuanfang glanced at Cain, then turned and left.
"Let's go, to another place." Shangguan Wan'er didn't see Cain's movements and led him to the next place.
The two arrived at a magnificently decorated temple, where a large crowd was burning incense and praying to the gods.
"This is the Huiyao Temple, also known as the Star Temple. The people here have worshipped the twin stars, Chongli and the other two gods, for generations. Legend has it that the human world was once plagued by a monster called 'Nian,' causing great suffering to the people. The two gods descended to earth and vanquished the Nian monster, restoring peace to the human world."
"They are the guardians of humanity, transformed into twin stars, appearing and disappearing at opposite ends of the world, protecting humanity's day and night. The two gods are both enemies and friends."
"To commemorate them and remember the disaster, people built temples to enshrine their statues and murals. The day that the year was destroyed is called the New Year. Now it has become an important event and custom. Every year, people come to pray for peace, especially during the Spring Festival, when the crowds are huge."
"By the way, they are also door gods. People paste their images on their doors to celebrate the new year and prevent their homes from being damaged by the Nian monster, symbolizing peace and safety."
“No wonder I’ve seen their portraits on the doors of many houses,” Cain said knowingly.
"It is said that their mythological prototypes come from the ancient legends of Yang Jian and Hou Yi, but I don't know if it's true or not."
The Eternal Star and the Radiant Dawn? Could someone have turned Yang Jian and Hou Yi into myths and legends? Or did they do something similar to save humanity, and were thus celebrated? Cain stared at the familiar mural, lost in thought.
The mural depicts a god holding a three-pointed double-edged sword and another holding a divine bow. They are dressed in gold and red armor and stand facing each other. Their sharp and resolute eyes make them look lifelike.
We arrived at another temple, which was no smaller than the previous Huiyao Temple.
"This is the Temple of Sacred Beasts, where the Five Sacred Beasts are worshipped. Originating from Yunmeng Marsh, legend has it that they guard the five directions of the world: the Azure Dragon in the east, the Black Tortoise in the north, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermilion Bird in the south, and the Qilin in the center, protecting this great land. However, I believe it is our Tang Dynasty's Heluo Army that is protecting this land."
Five different animal statues stand guard in the five directions, exuding majesty and power.
Is this just a legend or is it true? When will I finally get the Azure Dragon Armor? But I think it's impossible, since it's just a skin, and it doesn't even seem to be from the same timeline, right?
These amazing sights dazzled Cain.
"Next is Chang Le Fang, a famous music and dance hall in Chang'an, frequented by countless literati and poets..."
