Bai Luo slowly handed the ring to An Nan. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Bai Luo suddenly looked up and said sincerely, "I don't regret it. I had a very happy time these past two days!"
These words seemed to flow from the depths of his soul, carrying endless emotion and satisfaction.
Bai Luo was indeed very happy, because for the past hundred years, he had been hovering between life and death every day. Every time he opened his eyes, all he could think about was how to improve his cultivation so as not to become prey for the strong.
However, in these two days, he was able to experience the warmth of humanity and the joy of real life, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Annan looked at Bai Luo's excessively handsome face, which was full of seriousness and sincerity, and couldn't help but chuckle. Then he gently patted the ring he had just received into Bai Luo's palm.
"It's yours!"
When Bai Luo heard these words, he suddenly felt a strange burning sensation in his palm. His gaze involuntarily fell on the ring in his hand, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
He lowered his head slightly, and a blush gradually appeared on the tips of his ears.
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Bai Luo said in a low voice. He still remembered that she had told him about the design concept of the ring yesterday.
The Möbius strip symbolizes endless love; it begins with you and ends with you, infinitely.
"Anyway, it's just a practice piece I made, and it's not worth much. Consider it your reward for helping me sell things tonight!"
Annan spoke nonchalantly, seemingly unaware of Bai Luo's inner turmoil. She tidied the jewelry on the white cloth, pondering where else she could set up a stall.
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo slowly raised her head. The lights from the lake shone on An Nan's face, clearly reflecting her spirited expression.
"So it was just payment..." Bai Luo murmured softly, feeling a little relieved but also a touch of melancholy.
At this moment, the lights on both sides of the lake have been lit up, and the whole city has become dazzling and colorful.
Under the illumination of the lights, the skyscrapers appear exceptionally magical and colorful, making one feel as if they have stepped into a fairy tale world.
Not far from the bridge arch, a huge cruise ship rested quietly on the lake. Huang Sicong and Mo Yan sat on the deck, enjoying a lavish meal while keeping an eye on the activity on the other side of the bridge arch.
"Bai Luo is busy with his love life and doesn't seem to have any intention of going to find his companions!"
As Huang Sicong spoke, he took out a jar of spirit wine from his storage bag, poured it into a wine glass, and then invited Mo Yan to taste it together.
Mo Yan took a sip of the spiritual wine, feeling the warm aura flowing through his body, and then spoke:
"Uncle Yan said to let us follow along and see how things go!"
After saying that, he continued to observe the movements on the other side of the bridge.
At the Cloud Mist Pavilion of the Free and Unfettered Sect, the Jiang family members, Lin Weiguo, and Yan Ziyan were all waiting for the divine dragon to appear.
Jiang Wanwan went to great lengths to coax and trick the dragon out of the secret realm.
"Lord Dragon, don't worry, Xiao Guang has forgiven you and promises not to strike you again!"
After peeking out, the dragon saw that everything outside was normal, so it breathed a long sigh of relief and then turned to say:
"I am Ying Yao, you may simply call me by my name!"
Ying Yao craned his neck, looking at the Soul-Guiding Lotus that Jiang Wanwan and the others had picked for him, his eyes brimming with tears of emotion.
"Alright, from now on I'll call you Ying Yao! I think this Yinglong Crystal will be useful to you, so take it and use it to recover your strength as soon as possible."
After discussing it with Yan Ziyan, Jiang Wanwan decided to give Yinglong Crystal to Ying Yao as well, to help him recover as soon as possible.
Ying Yao stared at the gleaming stone with shining eyes, his mouth practically watering.
But it didn't forget to make grand promises to Jiang Wanwan and the others: "Once my strength is restored, you can have as many Yinglong Crystals as you want!"
Its tiny body, holding a piece of ore bigger than its head, was shaking its head and talking, which looked strangely comical.
After Ying Yao returned to the secret realm to recuperate, Jiang Wanwan and the others started talking about Jiang Beixing inviting his family to attend his alchemy lecture.
"Tomorrow, Beixing will be giving a lecture at the university social gathering. We'd like to invite everyone to come and check it out. Do you want to go?"
The Jiang family members were all beaming with joy, especially Jiang Dahai and Yang Shi, who couldn't wait to announce to the world that their son was the best and the most awesome.
Everyone readily agreed to go and offer their support.
The networking event at the University Town in City C aims to promote cooperation and exchange between schools, especially for emerging majors, providing a great opportunity for mutual exploration and learning.
This gathering mainly involved fields such as alchemy, artifact crafting, and talisman making.
Although these majors were only recently established, many of the teachers had studied at the Xiaoyao Sect for a year and were capable of teaching basic knowledge.
If a student demonstrates exceptional talent and potential and needs to study and research a specific field more deeply, the school will provide them with the opportunity to be recommended and directly participate in the Xiaoyao Sect's assessment.
Once they pass the assessment, they will become official disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect and have the opportunity to study their chosen field in depth, as well as receive more guidance and resources.
The next day, under bright sunshine, the auditorium of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in City C was bustling with activity, as the university town's joint social event was being held there.
The members of the Xiaoyao Sect and the Jiang family were specially arranged to sit in the front row, enjoying the best view.
As Jiang Wanwan walked into the campus, a strange sense of emotion welled up inside her. Time flies, and she couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time had passed. Everything before her was so familiar, yet somehow also seemed somewhat strange.
As the music began, the lights in the auditorium gradually dimmed, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere.
First up are the music academy students, who are prepared to perform live and bring everyone a visual and auditory feast.
After the host announced the program, he vacated the stage.
Then, the lights came on again, and accompanied by melodious music, a man and a woman appeared on the stage, their backs to the audience, as if they were waiting for something.
Just then, a melodious tune suddenly rang out, and the familiar melody of "Big Fish" echoed throughout the entire auditorium.
The silent waves engulfed the deep night, sweeping across the far reaches of the sky…
This is a clear and magnetic male voice, with a melodious and graceful singing style, like a heavenly sound from the sky, which deeply captivates the listener.
Every note seems to gently pluck the strings of people's hearts, making them want to wash away the hustle and bustle, cleanse themselves of the dust, and abandon all distractions and anxieties.
Jiang Wanwan sat quietly in the audience, her gaze fixed on the exceptionally handsome man on the stage.
She could clearly sense that the other person's spiritual energy seemed to linger in the song, carrying a magical healing power that could soothe all pain.
