Chapter 451: Snow on the Mountain, Bright Candles in the South

The heavy rain continued on and off all day, and Mingnan slept well at night with the sound of rain as his pillow.

The next morning, she woke up refreshed and opened the window to see the clear blue sky.

The air is moist and fresh.

She took a deep breath, stretched, leaned her hands on the windowsill, squinted her eyes and enjoyed the breeze.

After she was fully awake, she washed, changed her clothes, and prepared to go downstairs for dinner.

He Yunfei and Yuan You woke up early and were sitting there catching their breath when they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Sister, get up quickly. The sun is shining on your butt! Get up quickly, get up quickly——"

He Yunfei opened his eyes helplessly, but before he could say anything, the footsteps faded away, and then the door next door rang.

"Brother, hurry up and get up. The sun is shining on your butt! Hurry up and get up--"

He Yunfei: “…”

Yuan You: “…”

He rested his elbows on his knees and held his forehead in silence.

Sometimes I really feel that my junior sister is like a parrot that has become a spirit. Once she learns a sentence, she will repeat it over and over again without changing a single word.

Mingnan didn't care whether they really got up or not. After knocking on the door, she went downstairs with her umbrella.

Because a beast tide was approaching, there was almost no one in the inn. There were only three of them and a couple on the second floor. However, the couple went out early and came back late, and no one knew what they were busy with. When Mingnan went downstairs, they had just finished their meal and were walking out.

Mingnan sat down at an empty table and the waiter immediately came over to ask her what she wanted to eat.

Mingnan remembered the meat buns he had yesterday, so he ordered a few and also asked for a bowl of noodles and a portion of wontons.

He Yunfei likes to eat wontons, and Yuan You likes to eat noodles.

She lit it first so they could eat it directly when they came down.

The waiter immediately responded and went to the kitchen.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Yuan You and He Yunfei came downstairs one after another.

He Yunfei immediately noticed the oil-paper umbrella she had placed on the bench and asked, "Are you going to return it today?"

Mingnan nodded: "Well, I'll go after dinner. Do you want me to bring anything?"

"We plan to go out for a walk today."

Mingnan asked expectantly, "Will you come with me?"

"No." Yuan You said with a smile: "Let's act separately."

Mingnan: “…”

"Oh, then let's split up. I don't really want to go with you guys anyway."

He Yunfei sneered, "You are so good at talking. Your mouth is pouting to the sky."

Mingnan immediately pursed his lips and asked with a hum: "Are you coming back for lunch at noon?"

The waiter came over with a tray, put down the noodles and wontons, and then turned back to get the buns.

Yuan You picked up the chopsticks and said with a half-smile, "If I don't come back, I'm afraid someone will get up in the middle of the night and sit on my bedside to scold me."

Mingnan: “???”

"Who? Me?"

She pointed at herself in disbelief. "I would do such a thing?"

"Haha, you not only did it, you did it twice, and you even dared to scold me." He Yunfei scooped up a wonton and blew on it, saying, "When you were a child, you were sick, and I happened to be away on a mission. I finally came back, and I wanted to go see you, but you woke up in the middle of the night with a nightmare."

Mingnan swallowed his saliva and asked awkwardly, "And then?"

"And then you sit up and scold me."

He Yunfei stared at her dimly, "You are really forgetful."

Mingnan's mind raced as he recalled frantically, and he actually dug out a vague memory from the corner of his mind.

She lowered her voice and said with a lack of confidence, "I...how dare I? Senior sister, you must have heard it wrong, you must have heard it wrong."

"Really?" He Yunfei sneered, "You called me bad, called me heartless, called me abandoning you and running away, called me a treacherous ghost."

She put down the wontons and counted on her fingers: "Come on, see which word here you can hear wrong?"

Mingnan: “…”

Yuan You added fuel to the fire, "Well, that's how you scold me too."

He glanced at Mingnan with a smile, "Junior sister really knows how to treat everyone equally."

Mingnan: “…………”

205; [Hahahahahaha, it’s so cool to see the host laughing! Hehe, she can’t hear me anyway, I’ll laugh for a while, hahahaha——]

Seeing the waiter coming over with the buns, Mingnan quickly grabbed two and said with a smile, "Brother, eat the buns, sister, eat the buns."

They both snorted at the same time.

After that, Mingnan didn't say another word while finishing his breakfast, for fear that he would accidentally bring up some dark history and give them an excuse to bring up the past.

When they were young, they didn't dare to fight for fear of hurting themselves, but it is different now.

After dinner, Mingnan ran away immediately, but he did not forget to take his umbrella with him before leaving.

She held the umbrella and found the pastry shop where she had been yesterday. She returned the umbrella and bought a lot of pastries. The shopkeeper smiled happily and gave her some extra candied fruit.

Mingnan happily accepted it and was about to go shopping at the market when the ground suddenly shook.

The tremor was so weak that for a moment Mingnan even suspected that he was hallucinating.

She looked around and saw that no one else was affected, so she continued doing what she was doing.

Maybe it was really a mistake?

She continued walking forward, but after taking only two steps, the ground shook again, and this time it was much stronger than the last time.

"No!"

The next moment, the ground began to tremble continuously. The people around also noticed it and their faces changed.

Someone shouted, "Oh no! The ground is shaking! A wave of beasts is coming! Run!"

"What? The beast wave is coming?"

"What are you still standing there for? Run! Run to Dayun Mountain! Quickly—"

The pedestrians on the street suddenly became chaotic.

The lively and peaceful atmosphere just now was instantly replaced by heavy panic.

Some vendors even gave up their stalls and ran away.

Someone accidentally bumped into Mingnan, apologized profusely, and advised her: "Little girl, run quickly, don't just stand there, or the beast tide will rush over and you'll be crushed to death!"

Mingnan helped her up and shook his head: "Please leave quickly, I want to go find my senior brothers and sisters."

After saying this, she turned around and went against the flow of people towards the city gate.

Passersby turned back to look when they saw this, and some even tried to persuade her to stop.

Mingnan had no choice but to leap forward, draw his sword, and walk away.

The crowd burst into exclamations instantly.

Not long after, Mingnan sensed the familiar fluctuations of spiritual power. The two spiritual powers fell on the city wall one after another, and she followed closely behind.

After landing, I saw He Yunfei and Yuan You.

The two men stood at the front of the tower, looking at the situation in the distance with serious expressions.

Hearing footsteps, they turned around and saw that it was Mingnan. They visibly relaxed.

"Brother, sister, is the beast tide really coming?"

He Yunfei nodded and said, "Come and see."

Mingnan walked quickly to her side and looked around. He saw smoke rising in the distance, covering the sky and the sun. A group of blurry figures were running in the smoke, causing the ground to shake continuously.

Then, dense shadows caught up and circled in the sky - they were a group of flying monsters.

The ground was shaking more and more violently, and the smoke and dust were spreading towards them quickly, but there was no end in sight.

Mingnan was stunned. "Are all the monsters in the nearby mountains and forests coming out?"
