Chapter 314 A Gift for You
"cheers!"
A dozen or so glasses filled with wine clinked together crisply.
The shop owner, beaming with joy, said, "Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, Singles' Day was a great success today. My gratitude is all in this drink, so I'll drink it first!"
After drinking it all in one gulp, Huali mysteriously began rummaging through her Qiankun bag.
Tang Wanwan glanced at the calm and composed big shots beside her, who were unusually not jealous, and exchanged a look with Brother Xia.
It has to be King Pear, his husband-taming skills are amazing!
"Ta-da!" Hua Li first took out a golden longevity lock and put it on the little pagoda, then turned around and took out a pair of lifelike bows woven from spirit silkworm silk. "Brother Shrimp, this is for you!"
The two who received the gift immediately expressed their gratitude happily.
Brother Shrimp provided plenty of emotional value, simply pinning it to his head, saying, "My little sister really understands me. I just love these sparkly little butterflies."
Little Tower, who had already been deeply drawn into the trap of greed, wondered, "Why did Huali suddenly give me a gift?"
Huali ruffled the three-year-old's hair and explained, "This is the harvest of Xiaota's own labor."
Little Ta, who only has an elementary school diploma, nodded. "If it's a reward, can I choose it myself?"
"Of course you can, don't you like this?"
"I like it, but there's something I like even more." The child glanced at her shyly and said hesitantly, "How about we marry Karin instead... mmm..."
"!!!!"
"Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things!" Hua Li couldn't stand hearing that now. She quickly turned her head and said, "Zhao Zhao, take your soldiers back quickly!"
Zhao Heng arrived at the scene in a second and was about to take the suspect away when Hua Li casually handed her a large bag of snacks, saying, "Zhao Zhao, this is for you."
Once Zhao Heng's key skill was triggered, she immediately started husking corn like a bear, put down the small tower, and headed straight for the snacks.
Xiao Ta puffed out her cheeks, about to speak, when Hua Li pointed at her!
It immediately shrank its neck in resentment, kicked a small stone away with its little feet, and muttered, "Tch, I'm about to grow up."
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that so? That's wonderful."
Little Tower looked up, puzzled: "?"
The Demon King curled his lips and said in a drawn-out tone, "Now that you've grown up, it's time for you to use your true form to repair the Spine Worm Sword for me."
Little Tower, who had completely forgotten why she was kidnapped by Luo Chuan back then: "!!!"
"Heh, everyone says the fatter the pigs raised by farmers, the better," Shen Yu said, swirling his wine glass in a clear, crisp voice, "That way, when they're slaughtered for the New Year... they smell the best!"
Little Tower: "Woo."
The unexpected little incident in the courtyard did not dampen Huali's enthusiasm. She took out a jade hairpin that exuded an icy aura and personally placed it in Tang Wanwan's hair, saying, "Wanwan, this is yours!"
“Brother Mo, this is the same jade pendant as Wanwan’s hairpin!” she chuckled. “Those who know, know.”
Mo Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded generously, "Thank you, Huali."
After giving him a thumbs-up, Huali continued to stuff the mini abacus into Changliu's bag, handed the spirit stone-carved divination turtle to Rongxing, and then came to Fengyi, saying solemnly:
"These are all the best books I've been studying lately. With them, your journey to win over your wife will be much easier."
Feng Yi lowered her head: "Reborn: I Want to Take Back Everything That Belongs to Me?"
"Yes, that's ambitious!"
Huali patted his shoulder, and a huge man, who looked like a small mountain, had already bent down impatiently, looking at her with expectant eyes.
Huali took out a sword tassel adorned with pink butterflies and pearls and tied it to Taku's scimitar. "Taku, this suits you perfectly!"
Tuowu reached out and touched the little bow, scratching his head and chuckling.
Huali felt a warmth in her heart.
He continued to pull out a heavy bag of spirit stones from Xiwu, saying, "Don't say anything more, Xiwu, I understand you!"
Sure enough, Shio instantly transformed from a dead fish-eyed SpongeBob SquarePants into a radiant SpongeBob!
Huali chuckled, "Like I always say, we're all one loving family, let's make money together!"
"Please make sure to keep these gifts with you at all times. There are some hidden items on them, so you can discover them for yourselves."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a bag full of spirit stones appeared in front of everyone again.
"This is all from me and Ao Bai, please accept it!"
Ao Bai: "Meow meow meow meow!!" Quickly accept it!
Without giving them a chance to refuse, Huali took out a brand new magic bag and walked towards the five heavyweight big shots who were making their grand entrance last.
"Hehehe, I also have a gift for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huali's figure suddenly swayed. As a wave of dizziness washed over her without warning, a buzzing sound filled her mind.
The blurry image flashed by.
Vast swaths of thick, ink-like crimson appeared. But it wasn't a concrete image; rather, it evoked a powerful, nauseating feeling.
--despair.
It was as if countless worlds were simultaneously uttering their dying cries.
Then, several figures flashed by, as if they had completed some mission, and turned and disappeared without a trace of regret.
Huali pressed down hard on the corner of the table, breathing heavily.
Everyone's expression changed at the same time, and they instantly surrounded her.
Lian Zhuo, who was closest, immediately reached out and supported Hua Li's shoulder, continuously channeling pure and peaceful Buddhist light to her.
Hua Li immediately looked at Ao Bai.
The usually nosy Steward Ao had put on a sullen face. “What the host sees is the memory in my mind during this period. Because I frequently enter and leave the host’s sea of consciousness, I have left traces of the memory.”
Huali seemed to be deep in thought: "..."
"How is Huali?"
"Huh?" Hearing Lian Zhuo's words, she came back to her senses. "It's nothing, it's nothing. I turned my head too suddenly just now, and I have a bit of low blood sugar."
"I'll explain in detail later," Huali replied to Aobai in her mind.
Not wanting to break the cozy atmosphere, she simply took out an exceptionally beautifully packaged box from her bag and handed it to Lian Zhuo, taking advantage of the position where Lian Zhuo was supporting her.
"Here, Lianzhuo, is a gift for you. Open it and take a look."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lian Zhuo's eyes. After checking the girl's condition several times with his spiritual power to confirm that she was alright, he gently opened the lid.
The first thing that catches the eye is a uniquely shaped lamp made entirely of black crystal and inlaid with a round crystal chip.
A look of confusion flashed in Lian Zhuo's eyes. "What is this?"
"A 21st-century idea, designed and executed by your friend Karin—" Karin reached out and channeled spiritual energy into the button next to her, "Starry Sky Projector!"
As soon as the five words were uttered, a buzzing sound seemed to emanate from the depths of distant stars, and the chip at the core suddenly lit up.
Instead of a blinding light, a soft yet incredibly profound beam of light slanted out, suddenly creating a vast and boundless Milky Way above everyone's heads.
The collision between modern technology and mystical spiritual power makes this starry sea so realistic that it feels almost tangible.
The starlight was cold and clear, while the nebulae were hazy and dreamlike.
In a moment of shock and silence, Huali smiled and looked at Lianzhuo, "Actually, beyond this continent, there are countless small worlds, just like the three thousand small worlds that Buddhism talks about."
"There are so many stars, and each one is different, but only when they come together can they form such a beautiful Milky Way."
"So Lianzhuo, just follow the path you believe is right."
The Buddhist disciple's usually calm and aloof expression cracked inch by inch.
He wasn't one to show his emotions easily, but when he received such a thoughtful gift from his beloved, his fingertips trembled with overwhelming excitement.
Lian Zhuo was speechless for a moment, and could only stare intently at Hua Li.
There was shock, there was joy, and there was an overflowing affection.
Shrimp Brother gasped and lightly punched Feng Yi, "How romantic! No wonder you're the Pear King who can control all five palaces!"
He gestured for Tang Wanwan to retreat, saying, "But even the best scenery needs to be enjoyed alive. If we stay any longer, we'll just become punching bags. Let's go!"
The group of people, who had spent years mingling in the battlefield of carnage, exchanged a knowing glance and disappeared from the spot.
As expected.
The Demon King's usual playful smile vanished completely, and his heterochromatic eyes beneath the gilded mask narrowed slightly as he stared at the starry sky projector for a while... then a while... and then a while longer... Heh.
The shadows surrounding Wen Jin screamed.
He clamored to tear apart the obstructive starlight, but in the end he only dug his fingers into his palms, using the pain to suppress his almost out-of-control obsession.
He planted so many flowers for her... and they all died.
Why is it that... others can receive such an inextinguishable light?
A subtle, persistent pain spread through the hearts of the four people.
Shen Yu's throat tightened, but in the end she just pursed her lips even harder, locking the bitter taste that was hard to swallow behind her teeth.
A complex expression flickered in Yan Xi's deep blue eyes.
It turns out that it's not that only the crying child gets candy. Rather... she had already given the candy to a specific person.
Receiving the gift, Lian Zhuo slowly clenched her fist, her voice dry as she spoke, "Huali..."
"Don't thank me yet. There's something else in the second layer of your box. Take a look."
After saying that, Huali turned around and continued rummaging through her treasure bag, her tone light and natural:
"Alright, alright, let's see who the next guest is!"
