"Hahahahahaha..."
Although Jia Ning, who was clinging to Jia Bo's trouser leg, didn't know what had happened, she laughed heartily just like everyone else.
"Anyway, welcome back. Everyone has worked hard." Dai Lele finally looked away from the swaddling clothes and said in a cheerful tone that was different from the others.
Horry was still upset and waved his hands repeatedly, as if trying to drive away all his troubles: "It's the New Year, so let's have a reunion dinner today! I'm going back to Yanluo tomorrow."
"What's wrong?" Xiao He asked.
"Huo Pingyang has a plan to reclaim land from the sea and is preparing to lead troops to conquer Wansla," Horei replied.
"Is this preparation to build an empire?"
"Nine times out of ten."
"So what are your goals for going back this time?"
"military power."
"Let me know if you need help."
"Absolutely!"
"Where is Xiao Xing?" Xiao He turned and asked again.
Yang Xing shrugged: "I don't care! If the mainland is unified, humans are at the top of the food chain, and social order is stable, that would be the best environment for me."
"Besides, there's more than one city with military forces. It would be better if everyone went out to reclaim wasteland. We can do some business in the process!" He finished speaking and revealed a capitalist smile.
“That makes sense!” Xiao He nodded deeply.
"Hey! There's a celebration party in the central square tonight, they've set up a stage, how about you two go up there and be the first to go?" Yang Xing's expression instantly turned cunning.
"Stop joking, stop joking. I'm too old to get excited. Let's just hire an opera troupe!" Xiao He waved his hands repeatedly, recalling the stage at the wedding banquets of the Jia and Zhu families. That was perhaps the last time he would let loose.
Wang Xuefeng glanced at her silently, smiled gently, and said nothing.
-
Night falls.
The first cluster of fireworks exploded in the sky above Flying Dragon City.
Folken stood on the high rooftop, the winter wind blowing his red hair and the hem of his clothes.
He was stunned as he watched that tiny amount of fire element bloom into such a dazzling display of fireworks in the air.
Rufis crouched a short distance away, his attention clearly lingering on the various performers, watching them hold sparklers, their colors reflecting the brilliance of the sky.
Further away by the railing, Manny tenderly supported Zof, who had just woken up and was still very weak. The two chatted and laughed, but it was as if they were whispering so that no one else could hear them.
Meanwhile, Kiroga, without saying a word, blended into the crowd with his "peasant face," happily waving a large bunch of glow sticks.
Duke didn't particularly like the night, but he cherished the light in people's hearts at this moment. He preferred that undying light in the long night to the darkness under the blazing sun.
Ayigu was right beside him, never speaking, but silently protecting him from the invasion of dark elements.
William drifted away with the wind, and wherever the wind blew, he was there.
Tyr's clone also arrived here. A woman whose smile was as graceful and gentle as water, even her gaze towards the crowd was full of warmth.
She suddenly felt that this city better matched her expectations, and the more she looked at it, the more she wanted to move her whole family here.
In mid-air.
Xiao He was on the Flying Dragon No. 1, with the hatch wide open, and could clearly see the wonderful performance on the high platform.
There was a round table in the hall, laden with a sumptuous meal, fruit, and fine wine…
Wang Xuefeng sat on the same sofa as her, volunteering to hold the two wildly dancing children, his eyes not even on the performance.
In his eyes, the stars seen through the eyes of his two children were more beautiful than any scenery.
He discovered that his son looked like him but had the personality of his mother, while his daughter looked like her mother but had the personality of him.
Just like when Wang Xiao hears the drumbeats coming from the square, he can't help but start kicking his legs, howling at the top of his lungs, and occasionally fiddling with his father's shirt buttons to keep up with the rhythm.
On the other side, Wang Xiaoxiao seemed to be upset by his noise, which is why she was wriggling around like a baby maggot, frowning, whimpering, and looking aggrieved.
Dai Lele sat on the other side of Xiao He, chatting softly about everyday matters.
Although this was not her usual style, she could no longer yell at Xiao He, who had gradually come to where he was today, as she used to.
Just like when she asked, "Does childbirth hurt?" and Xiao He answered, "A little," she didn't know what that "a little" meant.
Because she would always remember that when Xiao He was having his bone marrow extracted for the first time, he shouted so loudly that the whole floor could hear him.
It seems that as people grow up, they gradually learn to hide their true feelings.
Horry, seated in the center, wasn't particularly interested in the performance, but he wouldn't mind glancing at beautiful women dancing. Of course, this required a strong drink; nothing else mattered.
Yang Xing moved his computer directly to the dining table, and while eating, he used various data to check for any "bugs" in the details of the city-wide gala, as well as to screen out some potential "dangerous elements".
Jia Bo accompanied Juliet and Jia Ning aboard the Flying Dragon II, facing the Flying Dragon I from the north and south. The difference was that the three of them had already eaten dinner and were now simply focused on watching the performance with their son.
Honglian led the students from the Fifth Grade Academy to sit on the highest and furthest stands. The most mischievous ones were constantly playing around, seemingly with inexhaustible energy, and she, unusually, did not stop them.
Standing among a group of younger students, Nan Bai's aura made him stand out.
He not only earned enough credits for graduation during this defensive battle, but also made outstanding contributions within the academy. He was promoted to honorary tutor of the Fifth Grade Academy, becoming the youngest teacher in the entire Cloud Academy. He is humble, kind, and has an excellent reputation.
He gazed at the open hatch of the Flying Dragon One, as if he could already see Xiao He gently coaxing his child to sleep.
If you still can't let go now, then you'll never get over this hurdle in your life.
After all, what's missed is missed, and there are no "what ifs" in this world.
He shook his head and smiled. Whether he could truly let go of it or not, only he knew the answer.
Outside the city.
Angrina stood beside Arthas, having accepted the fact that her mother was gone forever.
The Arthas lineage, once powerful enough to sweep across the continent, now consists of only a few thousand resurrected by Xiao He. By modern standards, they are already an endangered species.
Therefore, Yang Xing abandoned the idea of driving them away. The Hengduan Mountains alone were enough for them to live and reproduce. Moreover, judging from their reproduction rate, without the use of some technological means, this lineage would be completely wiped out within two thousand years.
The Pact of the Sun and Moon was successfully destroyed. None of the combat species listed in the contract returned. Instead, some small animals that were not on the list returned to their original positions when the alternation line crossed.
Far away on the continent of Vansla, the elves carefully swam ashore from the deep pool, and many other species that had accidentally fallen in floated up with them.
They gazed at the forest, which resembled paradise, and the starry sky above it, their hearts filled with a profound sense of peace.
"How many years have passed..."
"The ancestors' wish... has finally come true..."
