Chapter 409 Continuous Rain Oblivious to Spring's Passing
Outside the window, the rain fell incessantly from the eaves.
The crisp ticking sound seemed to be keeping time for the quietly warming air in the room.
Wen Jin's arms were tightly wrapped around Hua Li's waist.
Like migratory birds, they travel downstream along their flight path.
Karin's consciousness was like the rain outside the window, enveloped by the misty fog and the damp smell of earth.
Her gaze drifted higher and higher. At first, she could see the entire trunk of the old tree, but now she could only see the dense foliage above the window.
Wen Jin turned his head, his black hair brushing against Hua Li's neck, and looked over with her before slowly turning back again.
He tore the candy wrapper open again, gently picked up the candy, curiously took a bite, and suddenly chuckled, "It's really sweet."
A gust of wind blew, and the damp scent of rain rushed towards her. Startled by the sudden chill, Huali shivered.
The next second, I was enveloped in warmth.
The rain outside the window had intensified at some point, relentlessly pattering against the eaves and leaves with a rhythm that varied in pace.
Wen Jin stared intently at Hua Li, his pale golden eyes like bottomless wells.
Every time, every single time, it reminded him of the first time he saw her in Chenliu City.
Thinking of the royal city of Soli, the girl cautiously approached it step by step.
I thought of the roses grown in the barren city of Sunset.
My heart is burning with excitement just thinking about it.
The movements never stopped.
The awning boat, the starry night, and the unfinished fantasy finally came to a perfect end at this moment.
The rain was torrential, the sound of which was fine and urgent.
The raindrops hanging on the eaves, unable to bear their own weight, fell crisply onto the stone surface with a "plop".
After trembling for a moment, it merged into the moist soil, completing its final nourishment and return.
Huali curled up beside Wenjin, her tense nerves just relaxing, her chaotic consciousness like a soothing tide, about to settle into a peaceful dream.
But this tranquility lasted only a brief moment.
The next second—
"Boom!"
A blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by an even heavier downpour.
The dense raindrops, like thousands of drumsticks, pounded against the roof and leaves, creating a noisy clamor that instantly drowned out all other sounds in the world.
Karin felt as if she were inside a small boat.
Swaying incessantly with the wind and rain outside the window.
After late autumn comes winter, and the beginning of the long winter also means that spring is coming soon.
All of this seemed like a gentle prelude to the first spring rain, washing over the courtyard tirelessly.
......
The continuous rain obscures the passing of spring; only when the sun shines do we realize how deep summer is.
As the night passed, the torrential rain gradually subsided.
A water droplet slid off the saturated leaf and landed lightly in a shallow puddle on the ground with a soft "plop," creating a delicate ripple.
The humid air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and vegetation after they had been thoroughly washed away.
Although it carries a cool air, it is also refreshing and invigorating.
On the soft couch, Huali slept soundly.
Or rather... unconscious.
The girl's long eyelashes rested on her eyelids like butterfly wings, casting a soft shadow.
Wen Jin had changed into a moon-white robe, which was quite unusual for him. Upon closer inspection, it was the same robe that Hua Li had bought for him in Jiangnan.
The Demon Lord lay on his side next to Huali, supporting his head with one hand and idly stroking her hair that was scattered on the pillow with the other.
Her pale golden eyes, as if washed by rain, became exceptionally clear and deep, reflecting the little girl's beautiful sleeping face.
After watching her silently for a long time, Wen Jin suddenly lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said in a hoarse voice with an almost cheeky affection and expectation: "Huali, I've finished my candy."
Wen Jin's smile deepened, like a pebble thrown into a lake, rippling gently.
"Will you make it for me again next time?"
*
No, I refuse.
Huali took the candied hawthorn from Tang Wanwan, took a bite, and shook her head repeatedly.
Tang Wanwan asked in surprise, "Why? Isn't this a great time to make money?"
"Yunshang Yinyu didn't finish the competition last time because the Starfall Ruins opened early. Now that we're finally starting again, you don't want the spirit stones anymore?"
Huali rubbed her lower back and said with a troubled expression, "Forget it, I really don't want to add any more drama to my life."
An unlucky Li Yuan was "punished" by Luo Chuan.
That damned Wen Tingyun made her suffer all sorts of "losses" from Wen Jin.
She dared not imagine which contestant would greet her when she returned to Mu Feng's territory, Linfeng County.
Compared to the others, Lianzhuo is still the best, gentle and patient.
But...sigh, it's not over yet.
What a pity.
The moment the thought flashed through his mind, Huali Tiger's body trembled.
Tang Wanwan, who was talking non-stop, was startled by her. "What's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a ghost?"
Karin: "!!! What a pity? I actually felt sorry for you?!?"
Tang Wanwan: "? It's a pity you went to sign up."
Huali paused for two seconds before accepting the fact that her face was yellowish.
There was no way around it; with three thousand beauties in the harem, the emperor no longer held court in the mornings.
"If you go, with your current popularity, you'll definitely be number one by a wide margin."
"That's why I'm not going; it's not challenging enough." Hua Li looked at Tang Wanwan. "Are you going?"
Tang Wanwan nodded: "Go ahead, I saw that Bingyue signed up too. If you don't go, I'll go and annoy her myself."
Huali yawned and gave her a thumbs up.
As Tang Wanwan pulled Huali through the crowd, she looked her up and down, saying, "Why do I feel like you've been looking a bit listless lately?"
Huali rubbed her neck. "Maybe I haven't been getting enough sleep lately."
Tang Wanwan: "But you can cultivate immortality and sleep or not, so what have you been doing?"
Huali: "......"
"Fine, forget it then. Come on, come on, I'll take you to a great place." Tang Wanwan winked mysteriously at her. "My dad recently gave me another sum of money, and I opened a place called 'Wonderful Sound Pavilion.' It has lots of really beautiful things inside..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't get me into trouble!"
"How can you call this harmful? It's right ahead, very close. Do you see that red door?"
As Huali tried to pull her arm out of Tang Wanwan's grasp, she subconsciously looked in the direction Tang Wanwan was pointing.
As it turned out, she actually saw an old acquaintance.
Wait a minute?! Isn't that the "Severing Separation" technique?
Huali was stunned for a moment, her mind going blank for a split second.
Miaoyinfang, newly opened, cut losses, making money...
God's Milk!
Miaoyinfang just opened, and Zhanli is already here to make money?!
