Qian Renxue looked at him.

"Are you still cultivating?"

Ling Feng nodded.

"Ok.

Cultivation.

Qian Renxue shook her head.

"You're such a boring person."

Ling Feng looked at her.

How did you celebrate Chinese New Year when you were a child?

Qian Renxue thought for a moment.

"Eat New Year's Eve dinner, set off firecrackers, paste Spring Festival couplets, and then cultivate yourself."

Ling Feng's lips curled up slightly.

"You should also cultivate."

Qian Renxue smiled.

"Ok.

I also practice cultivation.

"I am the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall; I cannot slack off."

Ling Feng nodded.

"Ok.

"You are the Empress, you cannot slack off."

Qian Renxue looked at him.

Are you praising me or insulting me?

Ling Feng looked at her.

"I'm praising you."

Qian Renxue smiled.

That smile was radiant, like sunshine in the snow.

Jin Chen ran out of the east wing, holding a string of firecrackers in his hand.

"Boss, they're setting off firecrackers!"

Ling Feng looked at him.

"Placed in the main hall?"

Jin Chen nodded.

"Yeah! It's lively!"

Ling Feng thought for a moment.

"Go to the training ground to release it."

Jin Chen chuckled.

"it is good!"

The group followed Jin Chen to the training ground.

The training ground was very large, paved with lapis lazuli, and surrounded by walls covered with defensive runes.

Jin Chen hung the firecrackers in the center of the training ground and lit the fuse.

The fuse hissed and sparked. Jin Chen turned and ran, but after a few steps, he tripped and fell to the ground.

Everyone laughed.

Firecrackers went off.

Crackle, crackle, deafeningly loud.

Sparks flew and smoke filled the air.

Ning Rongrong covered her ears and hid behind Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing also covered her ears, looking at the sparks, a long-lost joy welling up in her heart.

She remembered when she was a child, in the Star Luo Empire, she would cover her ears and hide behind her mother to watch her younger brother set off firecrackers.

The firecrackers are all done.

Jin Chen got up from the ground, patted the snow off his body, and grinned.

"Cool!"

Ning Rongrong peeked out from behind Zhu Zhuqing.

"Brother Jin Chen, you just fell down."

Jin Chen scratched his head.

"I did it on purpose."

Just trying to make you laugh.

Ning Rongrong snorted.

"That's a lie."

You clearly fell by accident.

Jin Chen chuckled and did not deny it.

Night falls.

A sumptuous dinner was laid out in the dining hall of the offering hall.

Braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, roast chicken, dumplings, and rice cakes—a whole table full of food.

Jin Chen sat at the table, his eyes shining.

Wow! So much delicious food!

Ning Rongrong sat down next to him and put a piece of braised pork on his plate.

"Brother Jin Chen, eat more."

You've lost weight recently.

Jin Chen was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.

"Rongrong, you are so good to me."

Ning Rongrong smiled.

Of course.

We're friends.

Dugu Yan sat down next to Hu Liena and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs on her plate.

"Nana, eat more."

You've lost weight recently too.

Hu Liena looked at Dugu Yan.

"I haven't lost weight."

"You've lost weight."

Dugu Yan shook her head.

"I haven't lost weight."

"You've lost weight."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yan sat next to Xie Yue, eating his meal in large mouthfuls.

Xie Yue sat beside him, eating quietly, glancing at him occasionally.

Yan ate very quickly and choked, patting his chest repeatedly.

Xie Yue handed him a bowl of soup.

Eat slowly.

Yan took the soup, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and caught his breath.

"It's so delicious."

I've never had such a delicious New Year's Eve dinner.

Xie Yue looked at him.

"You can eat it every year from now on."

Yan was stunned, and her eyes reddened.

"Thank you, Xie Yue."

Xie Yue didn't say anything, but just continued eating.

Zhu Zhuqing sat next to Ning Rongrong, eating her meal quietly.

She ate very elegantly, chewing each bite for a long time, as if she were savoring some delicious food.

Qian Renxue sat down next to Ling Feng and put a piece of fish on his plate.

Eat more.

You've lost weight recently.
