After talking with Feng Shao, Lin Xiaoran stayed in her room and had no idea what was happening outside. If she came out to take a look, she would be shocked by the scene in front of her.

In the morning, Feng Shao told everyone that today was Lin Xiaoran's birthday, so he wanted to hold a lively birthday celebration for Lin Xiaoran. So the whole day, everyone was busy setting up the venue.

At this time, the City Lord's Mansion was decorated with lights and crowded with people, even more lively than the previous New Year. Various delicacies, spiritual fruits and immortal herbs filled the tables, and jars of aged wine were brought out from the warehouse. These stocks were originally kept by Feng Shao to celebrate the city's founding ceremony. He was waiting for the day when the city was completed to invite guests from all over the world to celebrate the completion of the new city.

Although these things were not taken out at the scheduled time, Feng Shao felt that it would be better to use them at this time. Because in his heart, ten thousand new cities were not as good as one Lin Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoran, however, had no idea of ​​all this, because she was hiding in her room, venting her anger into her pillow.

"Ahhhh! What did I say to Brother Shao today? Do I really have to...really do that today? But I'm not ready yet! I haven't married Brother Shao yet, and I haven't drunk the wedding wine yet. Wouldn't it be too shameful to do this?"

Lin Xiaoran would hit the pillow every time she spoke. Before long, the poor pillow was smashed into pieces, looking miserable.

Although monks do not attach much importance to secular etiquette, they are not as open as people in the world. Although Lin Xiaoran is already sixteen years old, according to the customs of this world, she is already an adult. But after all, she is a girl, and she is naturally shy about such things. How can she be so calm about it?

But when she thought of what Xiao Ruoyao had warned her about in the letter, Lin Xiaoran gritted her teeth and clenched her fists: "I am doing this for our future, so that we can have a child of our own. Shame... let it be shame! Anyway... I will marry Brother Shao sooner or later anyway! Just think of it as an early wedding!"

Even after some psychological preparation, Lin Xiaoran was still too shy, her cheeks burning like fire. She couldn't help but bury her head in her bed, grinding it back and forth, almost grinding a hole in the bed.

After a long while, Lin Xiaoran gradually regained some sanity from her shyness. She bit her nails and murmured, "Oh, right, how do we do that? It seems no one has ever told me about it! I heard from others that it seems that a man and a woman can just sleep on the same bed, but is it really like that? I always feel like something is missing... How about just leaving it to Brother Shao? But... What if Brother Shao doesn't know how to do it, then what should I do?"

Lin Xiaoran thought about it and his cheeks turned red again when he thought of his shyness. He could even see a white smoke coming out from the top of his head.

That is the water vapor transformed from sweat...

It wasn't until the sky darkened that Lin Xiaoran finally woke up from his own world. Looking at the setting sun, Lin Xiaoran pursed his lips and said a little aggrievedly: "Damn Brother Shao, I don't know what to do here, but he doesn't even come to comfort me! Humph! You might as well just sleep on the floor tonight!"

But then he changed his mind and said, "Wait, can you still have a baby if you sleep on the floor? I heard that you have to sleep on the floor to have a baby..."

Just as he was lost in thought, a petite figure suddenly came into the room. The figure looked around, and when she saw Lin Xiaoran, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed forward and grabbed Lin Xiaoran's arm, and hurriedly shouted: "Master's wife, why are you still hiding in the room? Everyone is waiting for you!"

The person who came was Feng Lingxue.

Lin Xiaoran was pulled out of the room by Feng Lingxue, but his mind was still a mess: "Wait! Xue'er, you said everyone is waiting for me? What does that mean?"

Feng Lingxue laughed and said, "Master's wife, just go out and take a look and you'll know! Today is a big day for you!"

Big Day…

When the "big day" was mentioned, Lin Xiaoran thought of her plans for tonight; when she thought of her plans for tonight, her face suddenly became hot again.

"Huh? Master's wife, are you sick? You look a little off..." Feng Lingxue tilted her head and looked at Lin Xiaoran, asking with a puzzled look.

Lin Xiaoran quickly waved his hands and said, "Go away, kids, don't meddle in adult affairs!"

Feng Lingxue pouted and murmured in dissatisfaction: "What! You are not much older than others..."

Although Lin Xiaoran was in a strange state, fortunately, Feng Lingxue still managed to pull Lin Xiaoran out of the room and went straight to the venue.

From a distance, Lin Xiaoran saw that the venue was decorated with lights and everyone had a happy look on their faces. Seeing this, Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What day is today? Why is it suddenly so grand?"

The last time I saw such a grand scene was during the New Year celebrations more than a month ago. But how long has it been since then? Could it be that this year is a leap year, so we can celebrate two New Years?

Before Lin Xiaoran could react, everyone raised their glasses to her and shouted in unison: "Happy birthday, Miss Lin Xiaoran!"

Lin Xiaoran was stunned.

Wait, today is my birthday? Today is the seventh day of the second lunar month?

Lin Xiaoran was confused for a moment, as if he didn't know what day it was.

At this time, a handsome young man came forward and gently took Lin Xiaoran's hand. Lin Xiaoran looked up blankly, only to see Feng Shao looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Ran'er, happy birthday to you! Today is the first time I celebrate your birthday. I hope that I will celebrate your birthday every time in the future!"

As he spoke, Feng Shao took out an exquisitely shaped jade hairpin and carefully inserted it into Lin Xiaoran's bun.

"Oh!" Everyone cheered in unison and looked at the two with smiles on their faces.

Feng Shao smiled at Lin Xiaoran and said, "Ran'er, congratulations. After today, you will be sixteen years old! Do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Lin Xiaoran was shocked by this sudden scene and was a little at a loss for a moment. She stammered, "I...what can I say?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "You can say anything you want. Don't forget, you are our birthday boy today!"

Lin Xiaoran looked around and saw that everyone in the venue was looking at him with a smile on their faces. There were many people among whom Lin Xiaoran could not name until now. But Lin Xiaoran could see from their eyes that their joy was from the heart.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoran suddenly had an epiphany. The reason they gathered here was because they had already regarded this place as their home. And he and Feng Shao were the family members they recognized from the bottom of their hearts. So they would celebrate his birthday and send him blessings from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Xiaoran's eyes were a little moist.

She bowed solemnly to everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you all for celebrating my birthday! I hope that every year in the future, I can see you all here, see that everyone is safe and sound, and see that everyone can have their own happiness!"

The crowd cheered again.

At this time, Zuo Linglan suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Sister Lin, when are you going to get married with Master Feng?"

When everyone heard this, they all started to make a fuss, and Lin Xiaoran's face turned red.

Feng Shao smiled at everyone and said, "Alright, alright, Ran'er is shy, so please stop making fun of her. Everyone, please eat your fill tonight and don't leave until you are drunk!"

Amid the laughter and cheers of the crowd, Lin Xiaoran celebrated his sixteenth birthday and officially declared himself an adult.

The New Year celebrations more than a month ago were overshadowed by the incident at Mount Taiwei. Now that the worries were gone, everyone was drinking and chatting happily, all in high spirits.

Lin Xiaoran leaned in Feng Shao's arms, sitting at the table, eating a mouthful of meat and vegetables, and occasionally taking a sip of wine. After a while, her face was flushed, and her eyes were drunk.

But Lin Xiaoran did not forget that he still had very important things to do tonight!

Perhaps it was the alcohol that made her bolder. After being shy all night, Lin Xiaoran finally made up her mind at this moment. She first glanced at Feng Shao secretly, and when she saw Feng Shao looking away, she secretly took out the pill Xiao Ruoyao gave her, crushed it and sprinkled it in Feng Shao's wine glass. She picked up the wine glass and shook it gently. Seeing that the pill had completely dissolved in the wine, she raised the wine glass and said to Feng Shao, "Brother Shao, let Ran'er feed you some wine!"

Feng Shao did not suspect anything and drank the wine in one gulp with a smile. But when he just drank it, Feng Shao felt something was wrong. He sipped it carefully and murmured, "Is this wine bad? Why does it taste like this?"

Lin Xiaoran waved his hand quickly and said, "Brother Shao, you must have drunk too much, that's why you feel something is wrong. Come on, eat some food!"

As he spoke, Lin Xiaoran forcefully fed Feng Shao another mouthful of food. Feng Shao was so busy dealing with the food in his mouth that he forgot to investigate the strange taste in the wine.

When he was halfway through eating, Feng Shao suddenly felt heat rising in his lower abdomen, and his consciousness became a little hazy. He rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, could it be that he drank too much? But thinking carefully, it seems that he didn't drink a few glasses in total!

However, most of the wines and drinks in Feng Shao's collection are specially provided for monks. Monks have special physiques, and ordinary wines and drinks can't make them drunk. And this kind of special wine and drinks are much stronger than ordinary wines. As long as ordinary people drink a sip, they can be drunk for a whole day and night.

Therefore, Feng Shao did not think much about it, and just thought that he drank too much. He just wanted to eat some food to slow down, but suddenly he smelled a fragrance in his nose. This fragrance was very special, not like flowers or spices, but an indescribable but intoxicating fragrance. He subconsciously followed the fragrance and suddenly found that the fragrance was actually emitted from Lin Xiaoran's body.

“Is this the legendary body fragrance?”

For some reason, Lin Xiaoran looked particularly cute and lovely in Feng Shao's eyes today, making him want to hold her in his arms. However, considering that it would be too unrestrained to do so in front of so many people, Feng Shao had to control himself with great willpower.

Lin Xiaoran had been carefully observing Feng Shao's changes. At this moment, she could clearly feel that Feng Shao's breathing was getting heavier and his eyes were a little blurry, and she immediately understood what was going on.

This is the effect of the medicine.

Lin Xiaoran looked around calmly. Seeing that no one else noticed anything unusual, he helped Feng Shao up and said to everyone with a smile, "Brother Shao must be drunk. I'll take him back to rest first!"

When everyone heard this, they didn't think much about it. After giving a few instructions, they continued to enjoy the dinner.

Lin Xiaoran helped Feng Shao to his room. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Feng Shao whisper: "Ran'er, I feel something is wrong with me..."

Lin Xiaoran swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Shao, you just drank too much. Just lie down and rest for a while."

"Really?" Feng Shao looked skeptical.

"Really!" Lin Xiaoran nodded repeatedly.

Feng Shao felt that his internal energy was a little out of control, so he had to lie down on the bed to regulate his internal breath. Lin Xiaoran gently helped Feng Shao take off his coat and shoes, and then lay down beside Feng Shao with trepidation.

This should be... okay, right?
