As a result, he was stopped by the head of the Ji family after taking only two steps.
"Patriarch Ji, something's up." Ji Minxiu said without turning his head.
"Are you really going to quit?" The Ji family head's voice clearly betrayed his suppressed anger.
Ji Minxiu replied indifferently, "Yes."
"You unfilial son! If you dare to back out now, you'll leave with nothing. I won't give you anything!" The Ji family head's anger finally erupted completely.
“Patriarch Ji, I am twenty-three years old this year, not thirteen.”
Ji Minxiu turned around and said, word by word, "Everything I own now belongs to me and is protected by law. You can't take it away. As for your things, I don't care about them."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
In this place, he felt that even a second longer was hypocritical.
"You stop right there...you..." The Ji family head tried to stop him, but then everything went black before his eyes, and he clutched his chest and gasped for breath.
"Dad, what's wrong!" Upon seeing this, Ji Sinian and Ji Siyu quickly stepped forward to support him.
Hearing the noise behind him, Ji Minxiu paused slightly before continuing forward without hesitation.
He already has a good son and a good daughter by his side, so naturally he won't let anything happen to him.
And he…
Looking down at the safety amulet in his hand, his eyes softened.
That's where his home is—over there with the little girl.
Back at the villa, Ji Minxiu went straight to Dasheng Dynasty, eager to see the little girl.
Meanwhile, everyone, including Lan Jianhe, was nervously waiting in the room.
"It's almost time, will Lady Snow Demon not come?" Yun Mingyuan asked anxiously.
"No, Lady Snow Demon always keeps her word and will definitely come," Yun Zhourong said confidently.
Is that because of me?
At this moment, Lan Jianhe asked somewhat nervously, "Is it because I'm an outsider that Lady Snow Demon isn't coming out?"
"Of course not. The Snow Fairy has already sent you clothes, so naturally she hopes you will come. Don't overthink it," Yun Zhourong quickly reassured her.
“That’s right, Mr. Lan, you don’t need to overthink it,” Yun Hongcheng echoed.
"Whoosh..."
Just then, Ji Minxiu finally appeared, standing right at the doorway.
"Wow, it really...it really appeared out of thin air!"
Lan Jianhe was stuttering; if he hadn't been so knowledgeable, he probably would have collapsed in fear long ago.
"I'm sorry I'm late," Ji Minxiu apologized first.
"No...it's alright, we didn't wait long," Yun Zhourong quickly stepped forward and said.
Ji Minxiu looked up and was met with a stunningly beautiful face that could outshine everything else.
The woman had porcelain-white skin, a delicate nose and pink lips, almond-shaped eyes and peach-like cheeks. Her charming smile revealed two dimples on her cheeks. She was like a pear blossom in spring, pure, beautiful, and refreshing.
Ji Minxiu was lost in thought for a moment before asking uncertainly, "You are... Yun Zhourong?"
"Yes, this is my elder sister's true appearance, Snow Fairy. Isn't my elder sister beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingyuan immediately looked up and asked...
"Xiao Yuan, don't talk nonsense!" Yun Zhourong's face turned red instantly, and she quickly tugged at Yun Mingyuan's sleeve.
"I'm not talking nonsense, my sister is really beautiful, don't you think so, Snow Fairy?" Yun Mingyuan continued to ask for confirmation, unconvinced.
Ji Minxiu smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "It is very beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined."
Although he could usually tell from Yun Zhourong's features and temperament that she must be good-looking, seeing her in person was still beyond his expectations.
He had seen many women in Shanghai, both ordinary people and celebrities, and even the most beautiful ones, but none of them could compare to Yun Zhourong.
"You flatter me, Snow Demon."
Yun Zhourong was not expected to hear Ji Minxiu say that, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.
A strange sense of secret joy welled up inside him.
Actually, ever since she put on this new dress, she had been waiting for Ji Minxiu to come over, wanting to wear it for him to see.
Now that I've achieved the result I wanted, my joy is hard to hide.
"Then... let's start having our New Year's Eve dinner."
Ji Minxiu tried hard to look away from Yun Zhourong and said calmly.
"Okay, I...I'll get the things right away."
Yun Zhourong nodded somewhat flusteredly, and then took out all the ingredients, including the tables and chairs, from the space.
Soon, everyone was sitting together.
Ji Minxiu brought outdoor batteries with him this time, specifically for plugging into the induction cooker.
So everyone in the room remained as quiet as chickens, sitting in their seats and watching Ji Minxiu operate the machine intently.
Furthermore, looking at that hot pot, which originally contained cold water, it was heated to a boil using only a strange black glass plate without any fire.
"That's amazing..."
The group of people stared in disbelief, completely stunned.
"Ahem, this is called hot pot where I'm from. You just put the food in and cook it briefly, then dip it in sauce and you can eat it. It's very fresh and delicious."
Ji Minxiu pointed to the pot and said, "This red soup is spicy, and the other side is clear soup. If you haven't tried chili before, you can try it. If you're not used to it, just eat the clear soup."
After all, chili peppers hadn't been introduced to China during the Dasheng Dynasty.
"Yes, thank you, Snow Fairy."
Looking at the food that had already been cooked in the broth, the group finally came to their senses, picked up their chopsticks, and put the beef cooked in the clear broth into their mouths.
They all secretly thought to themselves that if they had the Snow Demon cook for them, they might not be able to become immortals after eating it.
However, once the food entered their mouths, its novel and wonderful flavors quickly captivated them, leaving them no time to think of anything else.
I was completely captivated by the delicious food.
"This meat is delicious!"
"Extremely tender, and the flavor is even more intense with this dipping sauce, it's wonderful!"
"This...this spicy version is also delicious, it's just a bit too spicy..."
"Although it's spicy, it has a unique flavor!"
"..."
At first, the group was a little reserved, but when they actually started eating, the delicious hot pot instantly made them feel hot all over and unable to stop.
After that, without Ji Minxiu lifting a finger, everyone already knew how to play the trick.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal, finding it incredibly satisfying and pleasant.
"This is so delicious... *burp*..."
After the meal, everyone leaned back in their chairs, clutching their bulging bellies and panting heavily; they were all stuffed.
"In that case, why don't we go and digest our food?"
At this moment, Ji Minxiu suggested, "I also brought some fireworks, let's go outside and set them off."
"Hey, fireworks! Fireworks! Fireworks!"
Yun Mingyuan, who was still feeling regretful that he wouldn't be able to see fireworks this year, suddenly jumped up from his seat.
However, to avoid being seen, the group chose a clearing in the woods far from the post station. Only after confirming that no one would come did Ji Minxiu take out the fireworks.
This time, we brought a variety of fireworks, including large cannons and handheld toy fireworks.
