Chapter 531 Huaxia Cross-Border Hometown Association
(Thanks to Qiushanyue_ce for casting 2 monthly tickets.)
On New Year's Eve, every household in Jian'an City stayed together to celebrate this reunion year.
Li Shiyue had a good meal with the junior officers in the Xuanjia Army camp and talked for a while. It was midnight by then.
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year!
A new year has begun.
After drinking three jugs of wine, Li Shiyue was as sober as if he hadn't drunk anything at all.
It was just low-quality liquor to begin with, not to mention that Li Shiyue possessed a martial arts technique, so no matter how much liquor she drank, she could quickly metabolize the alcohol.
She waved to Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu who were following behind her, "You can go back now. There's no need for anyone to guard the door of my house tonight."
Come and wake me up again at dawn tomorrow.
Sun Xiaoliu and Chen Yong had followed Li Shiyue for many years, so they knew that Li Shiyue was a man who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Therefore, the two responded to what Li Shiyue said with a "yes".
Since Li Shiyue was considerate of his subordinates, and this small courtyard was located behind the main camp, surrounded by the tents where the Xuanjia Army soldiers slept, it was quite safe.
The two watched as Li Shiyue went inside and lit the lamp before leaving the courtyard and heading back to their own tents.
Yes, the only wooden house in the entire Xuanjia Army camp was reserved for Li Shiyue.
The others are still living in tents made of felt.
It was truly because when Li Shiyue led her army to Jian'an, it was already the dead of winter.
In this freezing weather, even if Li Shiyue wanted the soldiers to lay foundations and build houses, even with enough wood and bricks, it wouldn't be possible.
The idea of building the house can only be put on hold next spring, after the ground thaws.
However, at this moment, Li Shiyue was very happy, sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, closing her eyes, and instantly immersing herself in the system in her mind.
After midnight, it will be the first day of the Lunar New Year!
The first and fifteenth of each month are the trading days for Li Shiyue to connect with her friends from other worlds via live stream!
Although Li Shiyue and her friends were in different worlds in different times, the trading system allowed them to reconnect after their journey!
Such affection must be a comfort to Li Shiyue in this book's world!
Over the years, the system has been upgraded to level three, and now it not only has the function of adding friends, but they have also created groups!
This group creation function was a system reward that Li Shiyue obtained during his last upgrade!
However, the group only has ten members, including Li Shiyue, the group owner and administrator.
Of course, all these years, the small group that Li Shiyue named "Huaxia Cross-border Hometown Association" has always consisted of just these few people since its inception.
Although Li Shiyue is not a Chinese person who has not connected with other worlds, people are still different.
Some people didn't survive in the world they traveled to; after one or two live streams, they disappeared.
Even worse, some people are cunning, greedy, and despicable villains who want to take advantage of others.
Once Li Shiyue had done business with such a despicable person, he would never want to deal with them again.
Those who have stood the test of time and been added to Li Shiyue's small group are all like-minded.
Li Shiyue would give up on connecting with people whose values were incompatible with hers after doing one or two transactions with them.
Although they are in different times and spaces, and in different worlds with different timelines, Li Shiyue still wanted to talk to his fellow Chinese people about such an important event as the Chinese New Year.
Li Shiyue first sent a red envelope in the "Hometown Association" group, using the system coins she had saved up over the years.
The first person to grab a red envelope was Bai Zixuan from the cultivation world, and the second person to grab one was Zhang Lanlan from the future technology world.
The remaining red envelopes hadn't been claimed yet. Li Shiyue figured that others were probably busy and hadn't checked the group messages in the system.
So, he mentally typed, "Taoist Master, Sister Zhang, come on, let's complete the system task first?"
Bai Zixuan immediately sent a smiley face, followed by Zhang Lanlan sending a shy smiley face.
"System, connect to voice chat!"
Having received replies from both of them, Li Shiyue immediately issued instructions to his system.
After the system responded, Li Shiyue saw Bai Zixuan's ethereal figure appear on the system's electronic screen in less than a moment.
However, Bai Zixuan's expression didn't last a second before his face fell.
"Sister October, my heart is full of bitterness."
Li Shiyue's "Happy New Year" was swallowed back down by Bai Zixuan's words.
Over the years, Li Shiyue had come to understand Bai Zixuan's personality very well.
In Li Shiyue's words, Bai Zixuan's journey from a rogue cultivator to joining the outer sect of Xuantian and later becoming an inner disciple was extremely arduous. He narrowly escaped death several times and was tricked and harmed.
All these years, Bai Zixuan hasn't gone crazy; it's purely because he has a good mindset.
Then there's the system, and his fellow Chinese compatriots who occasionally chat with him, making him feel that he's not so lonely and depressed as to destroy the world.
However, Bai Zixuan's time travel time was probably the longest among everyone in the small group, after all, there is no time limit in cultivation.
Don't be fooled by Bai Zixuan's current pitiful, abandoned look and his constant references to "Sister Shiyue." If you really want to count, he's old enough to be Li Shiyue's great-grandfather.
As for the line "I'm suffering inside," it's just something Bai Zixuan likes to act out on the spot.
He's such a drama queen!
This point has been known not only to Li Shiyue, but also to other transmigrators from other worlds within the small group over the years.
So, at this moment, Li Shiyue had no choice but to swallow back the "Happy New Year" that had been stuck in her throat. Then, she looked expressionlessly at Bai Zixuan on the screen, who seemed to be at his home on his mountain, with bright sunshine behind him and flowers and grass.
"The Taoist priest mentioned wanting our Ice Ling Grass last time, and I've prepared it all. Shall we make a trade?"
Bai Zixuan, who was still clutching his heart and pretending to be dejected, looked up when Li Shiyue didn't respond, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at Li Shiyue through the screen.
"Brother, you are my own brother!"
Can you stop looking at me like that, like I'm a heartless man?
Brother, dear brother, no, you're my ancestor!
"Ancestor, last time you said you wanted that plant you called 'Shadow-Entangling Vine,' and I ran into that tiger-girl again during a live stream on the 15th of last month. I traded quite a bit with her. Do you still want it?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Upon hearing Li Shiyue's words, Bai Zixuan finally returned to normal and stopped clutching his heart.
Li Shiyue clicked on the page's inventory and traded both the Ice Grass and the Shadow Vine to Bai Zixuan, receiving a considerable amount of gold coins in return.
She then smiled and said to Bai Zixuan, "Happy New Year!"
Li Shiyue's words startled Bai Zixuan on the screen.
After a couple of breaths, Bai Zixuan looked at the screen and asked Li Shiyue, "Are you celebrating the New Year where you are?"
Li Shiyue nodded, "Otherwise, what do you think, Daoist Master, is the reason I would send out red envelopes?"
Happy Chinese New Year! May this bring you all some joy!
Cultivation knows no time. Even if Bai Zixuan still remembered his days in the mortal world before entering the cultivation world, it was already deep in his memory, hundreds of years ago, and he hadn't thought about it for a very long time.
"It's been quite a few years since I celebrated the Chinese New Year."
