Nell had been in the entertainment industry for many years and she was good at evaluating all kinds of performances.
Thus, she knew the ropes although the performance had just started.
After all, it was a blockbuster that only performed once in a few years.
Not only the actors were highly skilled but the decoration of the entire stage and the props were nicely done.
A huge rock fell from the sky and the actors next to it were frightened at first but then they gradually became curious about it. Along with calm music, they surrounded and circled the rock, just like cavemen from ancient times.
Not long after, the weather changed rapidly and flashes of thunderstorm lightning struck down.
Everybody panicked and went looking for places to shelter them from the rain.
In the meantime, on the stage curtain behind, a tornado appeared.
A few of the actors were blown away by the tornado. The yellowish sand was stirred up, covering the sky, and the scene in front could not be seen clearly.
When everybody was suffering in harsh conditions, a loud “bang” was heard. A voice came from the huge rock that stood like a giant at the same spot and it cracked open.
The weather got better as the rock split open.
Then, under everyone’s shocking glance, a picturesque woman walked out from the middle.
The woman wore a colorful brocade and she had a slim figure and a beautiful face. When she walked out of the rock, it was like she strolled above the clouds. Her entire body emitted divine radiance.
Everybody looked at her and then they looked at the sky that suddenly brightened up, like they understood something. The people dashed toward her immediately, knelt, and worshipped her.
The woman smiled faintly and she pinched her finger a little. In an instance, the land was covered with greenish grass.
Everyone cheered, followed with further begging. She turned the deserts into mountains and rivers, and wilted leaves became houses. After that, she danced gracefully at the middle of the stage and finally, she turned her entire self into a mountain spring, for the lives of the future generation to depend on.
All the folks knelt and prayed to her with appreciation. Later on, some people started to build the Fairy Palace and the Fairy became their deepest belief.
Nell sat in the audience. Although she knew that it was probably fake, she felt touched just by watching it.
To be honest, this was not a new story, just like what they said before. In this world, every different place had its own belief.
Behind every belief, it carried a similar story. It was nothing more than the fact that when the folks were in deep agony, someone descended from the sky and saved them.
Soon, the people built temples and palaces for them as well as worshipped them for generations.
Maybe it was because of the dancers’ splendid acting skills or it might be the soothing and melodious music, which again cracked open her heart.
After Nell had watched the performance, she did not reject the Fairy Palace like before.
Conversely, she developed a different opinion on the story.
However, she thought back. Sometimes, the story itself was not wrong.
It was those scums who used the story, the gratitude and kindness in people’s hearts to make money and did bad things.
She felt a lot more relieved after she thought of it.
The show ended and it was resounded with thunderous applause.
All the actors held hands and stepped forward on the stage to express their thanks.
Lizzy could not stop clapping her hands at the side.
Nell turned and looked at her, and then she smiled. “How was it? Was it good?”
Lizzy nodded. “It was great.”
Cathy smiled too. “The last time I watched was three years ago. I still feel touched after watching it again.”
Nell nodded. “It’s not bad.”
On the contrary, Gideon did not show a lot of emotion.
