Chapter 448: Chapter 426 Little Red Riding Hood is the Big Bad Wolf_1
In fact, a lot of netizens had been speculating before, saying that Chu Kuang and Shadow had started to collaborate, as one of the Three Bros, Xian Yu shouldn’t miss out on this—
The Three Bros should stick together.
Netizens were half joking when they made these suggestions, but what nobody expected was that this jest from before has now surprisingly turned into reality!
Xian Yu has really joined them!
With intense anticipation for the first collaboration of the Three Bros, netizens clicked into this song one after another, and then they saw the information about this song…
Song Title: “Fairytale Town”
Indeed, this is the eponymous song, using the exact same title as Chu Kuang’s new work, “Fairytale Town”.
Then they looked at the lyricist.
Sharp-eyed people immediately noticed that in the lyric section of the song, not only is Xian Yu’s name there, but also Chu Kuang’s name!
Chu Kuang and Xian Yu both wrote the lyrics together?
A collaboration between two talented individuals?
The epic collaboration is confirmed beyond doubt now!
The netizens, without even really paying attention to who the performer was, couldn’t wait to put on their headphones and hit the play button for the song.

“♪♪♪♪~”
In the prelude, a melodious and open flute sound arises, followed by a steady piano entering the track, making the base tone less simple.
The melody is brisk and pleasing to the ear.
The singer’s voice rings out, “They said Snow White is on the run, Little Red Riding Hood is worried about the big grey wolf, they said that the Mad Hatter likes Alice, the Ugly Duckling will become a white swan…”
This is good!
Many people’s first impression of this song was how pleasant it sounds, which wasn’t unexpected at all, given that the two words “Xian Yu” in the composer column basically guaranteed the quality of the composition.
The real object of everyone’s attention is…
The lyrics!
The first line is about Snow White.
The second line is about Little Red Riding Hood.
The fourth line is about the Ugly Duckling.
All these lines make sense.
All are stories that have appeared in Chu Kuang’s new book, “Fairytale Town”.
But what does the third line in the lyrics, “They say the Mad Hatter likes Alice,” mean?
It doesn’t seem like there are characters with these names in Chu Kuang’s “Fairytale Town”, right?
Did I miss something?
Or are they from some other novels by Chu Kuang that I haven’t read?
Many people are questioning themselves.
There wasn’t much time for reflection.
There was a brief pause in the music, and the second verse quickly followed, “They say Peter Pan never grows up, Harry Potter has learned magic, they say the King is biased towards new clothes, and Cinderella lost her beloved glass slipper.”
A lot of netizens who were listening became even more curious.
The King’s inclination for new clothes obviously implies “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.
Cinderella losing her beloved glass slipper, is also clearly a reference from “Cinderella”.
But new confusion has emerged.
Who is Peter Pan?
And who is Harry Potter?
These characters seem different from the ones in the “Fairytale Town”, right?
The song continued, “Only the wise river knows, Snow White ran out of the castle because she was playful, Little Red Riding Hood has a robe that suppresses her from turning into a wolf.”
Pfft!
Seeing these lyrics, many netizens couldn’t help laughing.
So Snow White ran out of the castle because she wanted to have fun, and Little Red Riding Hood is actually the big grey wolf herself—
Wait a minute!
These lyrics are terrifying when you really think about them!
Some people couldn’t help but gasp.
You have to admit, these reinterpretations of the fairy tales in the lyrics have a unique and interesting perspective.
And amidst all these surprises and puzzles, “Fairytale Town” entered the chorus, the pleasant melody making everyone temporarily put aside their inner questions, feeling as if their souls had been cleansed:
“There is always a winding, colorful river in Fairytale Town, infused with whimsical magic yet twisted in love, continuously flowing, stirring up splashes only to be drawn into a curtain of time under the water, leading all long, long ago to the moment of a happy ending…”
A comfortable voice and rhythm.
Everyone couldn’t help but become lost in this beautiful melody.
But the questions this song raises for everyone will not stop just because of this.
The second verse naturally started:
“I heard Sleeping Beauty was buried, the frog will become a king, I heard the little girl lit the matchsticks, the mermaid princess found true love. I heard Pinocchio always tells lies, the fisherman has a chest full of jewels…”
Here it comes again!
Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, the daughter of the sea, and The Little Match Girl were there too, even The Story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish, everyone understands these!
But who is Pinocchio?
Why does he lie?
Some netizens are beginning to suspect something at this point, the surprise deep in their hearts gradually turning into sheer anticipation, fermenting with each upcoming lyric: “I heard the little prince fell in love with a rose, Shuk Bacchetta was a talking mouse…”
As expected!
There are new characters!
Which one is the little prince?
Who is Shuk Bacchetta?
The song will not explain the answers.
Another uniquely interpreted angle: “Only the wise river knows, Sleeping Beauty runs from life’s torment, the mermaid brushed sunlight into her eyeshadow, embracing the foam.”
The lyrics sing out fairy tales.
But each interpretation seems to cast a relative view of reality, sparking a lot of thought.
The climax arises again.
Then the finale gradually falls.
This time it’s not a bamboo flute, but the sound of whistling, giving a nursery rhyme-like feeling, a kind of heart-penetrating power, yet oddly filled with a hint of inexplicable strangeness.
But…
People aren’t focusing on the music itself anymore.
Even the comments were not discussing the melody of the song itself, but the information revealed by the lyrics: “Damn, I feel like the lyrics of this song are hiding a lot of shocking pitfalls!”
This was the highest-rated comment.
Every listener, however, seemed to sense one pitfall after another in the lyrics, the kind you can’t see the bottom of!
The second top-rated comment asks a question.
A listener commented: “Could someone explain why I don’t understand some of the lyrics?”
No one understood.
What about the Mad Hat Alice, Peter Pan and Harry Potter, the Little Prince and the rose, and Shuk Bacchetta…
All these characters were mentioned in the lyrics.
But no one knows what they mean.
This left many netizens itching with curiosity: “A very good song, perfectly combined with ‘Fairytale Town’, but it seems to have expanded into something new?”
Others exclaimed:
“Red Riding Hood has a big red robe that prevents her from becoming a wolf, I got goosebumps at this line, and Sleeping Beauty is running from life’s torment, is this a sequel to the fairy tale?”
“Oh, my!”
“Snow White ran out of the castle because she wanted to play, then what’s with the queen, is all this made up?”
“So scary!”
“Back to reality?”
“Why do I somehow feel this is a bit dark?”
“Well, it’s not quite dark, it was always an interesting interpretation. What really matters to me is, what do those lyrics without specific references to stories mean?”
Yes!
Everyone is not discussing the melody, even the alternative interpretation of the fairy tale has been temporarily put aside, the lyrics are full of confusion.
Too many pitfalls!
The question of who are the characters mentioned in the lyrics but not appearing in Fairytale Town has been lingering in everyone’s mind.
The most upvoted comment was correct!
This might be Chu Kuang’s biggest trap!
