Veronica nodded and said with a smile, "Of course we celebrate it. This holiday isn't very popular in your country, but it's one of the most important holidays in our country, especially since most of the high-ranking members of the Chosen Church are Christians, including Bishop Adam, and I'm a Christian too."

"At that time, apart from a few necessary personnel on duty, everyone will come to the city, and the city won't be so empty."

"Even the bishops, the knights, and the higher-ups celebrate Christmas; they hold a grand banquet then..."

She talked a lot, her mouth full of smiles and her eyes full of longing.

Finally, she added, "Honey, you'll see when the time comes. Tianxuan City will be very lively! We'll also decorate Tianxuan City beautifully!"

"I'm so excited to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the man I love for the first time!"

Jiang Wu smiled and said, "I'm also looking forward to it."

You searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

I was originally thinking about how to wipe out the top leaders of the Chosen Ones in one fell swoop.

I never expected such a great opportunity!

Plans really do never keep up with changes!

Perhaps what Fei Ming and the others planned for so long will be completely useless!

......

As Veranica said, the entire Chosen City was preparing for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

In just one day, the entire inner city of Tianxuan City was completely transformed.

In the evening, Jiang Wu stood atop a high-rise building in the inner city with the best view, overlooking the city.

The streets were decorated with colorful lights and Christmas ornaments.

A giant Christmas tree stands in the center of the inner city square, with a dazzling star atop it.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat, and cheerful Christmas carols floated over the inner city.

Even in the ant colony, many colorful lights were hung up at this moment.

"Honey, am I pretty?" Veronica hugged Jiang Wu from behind, pressing her cheek against his back. "Honey, I'm so happy to be able to spend such an important holiday with you."

Jiang Wu turned around and pulled her into his arms.

Veronica wore a red Christmas dress and a Santa hat today. Her blonde hair and fair face looked not only beautiful but also extremely cute in the outfit.

Jiang Wu gently brushed his fingers through her golden hair and said softly, "It's beautiful, even more lively than I imagined."

That's true.

The usually deserted inner city is now adorned with numerous decorations and colorful lights, and many Western faces have appeared on the streets.

They were dressed in their festive best, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

Children chased and played in the square, while adults greeted each other and exchanged gifts.

Besides Christmas carols, cheerful laughter echoed throughout the inner city.

But......

Jiang Wu glanced casually toward the ant colony.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see the ant colony.

Even though the place was decorated with colorful lights, the people there showed no festive joy at all.

Only deep numbness and hatred remain!

This city originally belonged to the Chinese!

The Chosen Ones not only seized everything from them, but also enslaved them.

While the Westerners were celebrating the festival joyfully in the inner city, they could only continue to suffer from cold and hunger!

A city wall separates heaven from hell.

Recalling the actions of the Chosen Ones, Jiang Wu's suppressed anger flared up once more.

The Chosen One!

Tonight, I'll make you pay for your crimes in blood!

Veranika said excitedly, "Honey, let's go to the cathedral! The Christmas banquet has already started, and all the knights and high-ranking officials will be attending. Tonight's banquet will feature countless precious ingredients. Don't you like eating those high-level evolved beast meats? We can eat to our hearts' content tonight!"

Jiang Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Veronica glanced at Jiang Wu's leather robe and the Rat King Claw Blade on his back, and said hesitantly, "Honey, why don't you change your clothes and put the knife down too?"

Jiang Wu casually said, "You know me, except when I'm sleeping at night, I wear this robe and carry this sword. Do I really need to change?"

Veranica quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, they didn't say I had to change my clothes."

Then, she took out a small box from her pocket, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Honey, I also prepared a Christmas present for you. I specially asked a jeweler to make it."

Jiang Wu took the exquisite little box, opened it, and found two necklaces inside, each with an imperial green jade pendant.

The letter V and W are engraved on it.

Veranika explained shyly, "V is Veranika's V, and W is Bai Wu's Wu."

Jiang Wu stared blankly at the two necklaces, only then realizing that he hadn't prepared a gift for Veranika yet.

Veronica took out the jade pendant necklace with a V engraved on it and put it on Jiang Wu's wrist, saying with eyes full of happiness, "Honey, you wear this one, and I'll wear the other one."

Jiang Wu took a deep breath and said, "Nika, I'm sorry, I really didn't know we were supposed to exchange gifts."

Veranica smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, honey, these two necklaces are enough."

Looking at Veranica's smile and the sweetness that seemed to overflow from her beautiful eyes, Jiang Wu suddenly felt a sharp pang of guilt pierce his heart.

Veranica said shyly, "Honey, would you put the necklace on me?"

After saying that, Veronica turned around.

Jiang Wu picked up the necklace and put it on Veranika.

Veranica turned around, touching the jade pendant, her eyes sparkling, and said happily, "Husband, I love you!"

She then hugged Jiang Wu tightly.

"I love you too," Jiang Wu whispered, then lowered his head and kissed her.

A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

As night fell completely, the cathedral bells rang.

Veronica, her face flushed, straightened up from Jiang Wu's embrace. "Honey, we should go now. The banquet is about to begin. I'll take good care of you tonight."

Jiang Wu nodded.

Inside the cathedral, candlelight flickered.

The huge Christmas tree was decorated magnificently.

The long table was laden with all kinds of delicious food and fine wine, and the richly dressed high-ranking members of the Chosen Church raised their glasses in toasts, chatting and laughing.

The appearance of Jiang Wu and Veronica caused a small sensation.

They all approached, speaking flattering words and being extremely respectful.

Jiang Wu gave a forced smile, calmly observing everything around him.

Bishop Adam, dressed in a white robe, stood on the platform at the front of the church tonight, smiling at Jiang Wu and Veranika.

Jiang Wu smiled at him as well.

My heart was filled with sarcasm.

Despite his hands being covered in blood, he's putting on airs and playing the role of a priest today.

That's hilarious.

As the church bells rang again, Adam raised his hands and said in Spanish, "Dear brothers and sisters."

The church immediately fell silent.

"On this sacred night, I..."

Adam spoke for a long time, and finally he said, "Now, let us give thanks to the Lord for His blessings."
