Atop Kunlun Mountain, the seasons were always like spring, and lush grass and flowing water could be found there all year round. A single elk lived on the mountain, guarding a treasure. This treasure was called the Time Scroll. Whoever possessed it could travel freely through the past and present.
"I saw you when you opened the window just now. Sure enough, you're a young lady. You were gazing at the moon, lost in thought." He took his hand away from his legs, then picked up a leaf he had plucked from a nearby branch and examined it in his hand by the light.
I copied his smile, snatched the leaf he had been idly playing with, and held it in my palm. Half-crouching, I placed my hand beside his hair and blew gently. The leaf, thin as paper, drifted down onto his face, covering one eye. "Then how about I gaze at you, lost in thought?"
Though his hair obscured it, I could still see his ear turning bright red. I caught sight of his Adam's apple bobbing quickly. The leaf over his eye trembled as he blinked again and again, and warm breath kept escaping his slightly parted lips.
Smiling, I stood up and brushed the dust from my hands. He was nothing more than a young master, after all, someone who had never experienced the ways of the world.
"What are you doing here? You caused enough of a commotion during the day. Isn't that enough? I imagine you've already taken the money. Peeping through someone's window isn't something an upright person would do."
He hurriedly sat up, wanting to argue with me, but his words came out in a muddle. "I didn't... No, I wasn't. This moon... It's not your moon alone, is it? The laws of Kunlun don't say you're the only one allowed to admire it. And you, dressed like an assassin, what mischief are you planning?"
