Suxian Mountain only has the alternation of day and night, not the cycle of the four seasons.

The day of the Suxian Festival is a full moon. Lengyue is not very clear whether this festival is similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival, since they both fall on the fifteenth of August.

Cold Moon has no calendar here, nor does she know how time is calculated. Time seems to be something forgotten here, and Cold Moon can only live on the time given to her by Zero.

The Suxian Festival is very lively. Although it is already midnight and the cold moon has not yet risen, the entire Suxian Mountain is still brightly lit.

Leng Yue felt that the place had become so dreamlike. She sat on Su Yue's shoulder, hiding herself in his feathered robe, and carefully looked at Su Xian Mountain at night through the robe.

The lighting here isn't from torches or lanterns, nor from electric lights or streetlights. It's from a creature similar to a firefly, or perhaps a bioluminescent plant.

Su Yue reached out and took a flower, handing it to Leng Yue. "This is a fire edelweiss. It only blooms once a year. After tonight, the fire edelweiss will leave Su Xian Mountain and go to other places."

Leng Yue took it; the edelweiss was crystal clear, emitting a beautiful and soft light. The edelweiss was small, only the size of a dandelion, but it could emit a large ball of light.

Leng Yue touched it; the edelweiss was softer than cotton, feeling like a cloud. Leng Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful! How does it float in the sky?"

“This is the Edelweiss’s final vigil for Suxian Mountain,” Su Yue looked at the sky. “Their flowering period is very short, only one day a year. The day they bloom is also the day they have to leave their home. The Edelweiss is very reluctant to leave, so it guards Suxian Mountain every time until the very last moment.”

"Where are they going after leaving Suxian Mountain?" Leng Yue asked, looking at the velvet flower in her hand.

Su Yue replied, "We will wander around until we find a suitable place to multiply and thrive."

“It looks like a dandelion,” Leng Yue couldn’t help but press her face against the edelweiss. “But with such a wonderful place as Suxian Mountain, why would they need to go to other places to survive?”

"Dandelions? Are they from the human world?" Su Yue asked curiously. In fact, Su Yue had always been curious about the human world, but his heart wouldn't allow him to leave.

"Yes, dandelions are a common plant. Every year when the seeds mature, they are carried away by the wind, landing wherever they land, taking root, and thriving. This is the survival wisdom of plants!" Leng Yue added.

"I see," Su Yue said thoughtfully. "The wisdom of survival? Perhaps it's something you have to do out of necessity!"

Mount Suxian is a place to yearn for; at least for most beings, it represents their ultimate pursuit in life. Of course, it may also be a place that some people despise. It's just that a delicate peace has been maintained for now!

"What are those?" Leng Yue pointed to a group of monsters in the distance. The monsters were dressed in all sorts of different outfits and were making a lot of noise, so it was impossible to tell what they were saying.

Su Yue followed Leng Yue's finger and saw that it was a group of mushroom spirits arguing. "They are mushroom spirits. They love to argue."

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Leng Yue saw that the white-bearded old man was also there, but he didn't see Leng Yue.

Leng Yue didn't know if Su Yue had something on him that could conceal her aura, so she wanted to experiment and risk her life.

Unexpectedly, Su Yue showed no interest, saying, "I'm not going. A bunch of little monsters aren't worth my time."

"Hey, how did you save me back then?" Leng Yue teased.

After a strange silence, why? Who knows? But at least the result wasn't bad; this little thing could at least keep him entertained.

“Bai Zhu will take care of it, don’t worry.” Su Yue avoided answering.

"Who is the cypress tree?" Leng Yue wondered if it was a cypress tree spirit, and looked over there curiously.

"It's that guy with the white beard, he'll take care of it." Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that Leng Yue was no longer bothered by it.

"That old man is a cypress tree spirit? I really can't tell!" Leng Yu clicked her tongue. A cypress tree is still a tree, so how come that old man is so short? And he's a black-hearted cypress tree too!

"An old man? A cypress spirit?" Su Yue was speechless. "His name is Bai Shu, and he's not an old man. He's only two hundred years old. In Su Xian Mountain, two hundred years old is very young."

"Young? With his appearance?" Leng Yue looked incredulous. "He looks like an old man in his eighties or nineties, doesn't he?"

"He learned to grow a beard from humans, it's called 'beautiful beard for a handsome man,' I heard it's all the rage in the human world," Su Yue explained.

Leng Yue was even more speechless after hearing this. What would this old man do if he saw a punk? Luckily, only long beards are fashionable these days!

"How old are you?" Leng Yue suddenly realized that if two hundred years old was considered young, then how old would Su Yue be? He was a mountain god!

"Me? Hehe, guess!" Su Yue hesitated for a moment, his answer not very certain.

"You haven't forgotten your age, have you?" Leng Yue wasn't going to guess; she hated it when people tried to guess! So she resorted to reverse psychology.

"Hmm, it's been too long, I don't remember." Su Yue's expression was indifferent, not taking the bait, which disappointed Leng Yue.

"Boss, you're here? Why didn't you say anything?" Leng Yue was about to continue talking to Su Yue when Bai Shu ran over first.

Leng Yue couldn't dodge in time and her eyes met Bai Shu's. However, Bai Shu didn't seem to care and quickly looked away after just one glance.

"Hmm, just take a walk. You did a great job, don't worry about me." As Su Yue spoke, he was surrounded by holy light, which almost blinded Leng Yue. In her mind, a million grass mud horses were galloping. What the hell?

Bai Shu didn't react in any particular way. Hearing Su Yue's words, she smiled and nodded, "Then please enjoy your visit. I have other things to do."

“Hmm,” Su Yue replied, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.

Bai Shu said again, "Boss, you play first, I'm leaving." Seeing Su Yue nod, Bai Shu turned and left. But after only two steps, he turned back to look at Leng Yue and asked, "Boss, where did you get this little thing? What breed is it? Why is it so ugly! Let me tell you, if you want a pet, come to me, I'll definitely find you a prettier one..."

Ugly thing? They call her ugly? Leng Yue was furious and wanted to argue with Bai Shu. Su Yue reached out and stopped Leng Yue, "They say ugly babies are easier to raise, so it's her..."

Leng Yue: You're the ugly one! Your whole family, no, the whole mountain is ugly!

“Boss, I can help you raise it, and get you a pretty one. This ugly thing…” Bai Shu said, making Leng Yue snort angrily.

To appease Leng Yue, Su Yue couldn't let Bai Shu continue talking nonsense. "Bai Shu, does everything I say go? Do I have to get your permission before I can do it?"

Bai Shu instantly calmed down. "Yes, Bai Shu knows his mistake and will take his leave now."

Before Su Yue could speak, Bai Shu turned and left. Once Su Yue was out of sight, Bai Shu flicked his sleeves, "Hmph, what's with the arrogance? If it weren't for the princess's instructions, you wouldn't be where you are today!"

Su Yue and Leng Yue, who were left standing there, stared at each other wide-eyed. "Am I really that ugly?"

"Uh, it's alright..." Su Yue felt a little guilty.

Leng Yue: Are you alright? At least your sister is alright! What a mess!
