Chapter 88:
The chef really understood Xiao Yu. Seeing that he liked to eat mutton tripe buns, he also prepared ring sausage, pig's trotter rolls, and beef tendon sausage. The quantity was not large, but it definitely satisfied his taste.
Butler Qi placed a small table next to the French window in the restaurant, which was filled with hot pot ingredients, snacks, and fruits. This made it convenient for Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu to slowly savor the steaming hot pot while admiring the heavy snow outside the window.
It is a perfect match for a sweet and sour hot fruit tea, with just the right sweetness. Slowly brewed in a health-preserving crystal kettle, occasionally adding lotus or lotus leaf teapots, the room is filled with fruity fragrance.
Even the smell of hot pot, which had not yet been removed by the ventilation equipment, was dispelled at once.
Of course, Xiao Yu felt that it would be even more perfect if Mr. Zhou allowed him to have a couple of bites of ice cream while the food was still hot.

Monday, December 2, 8:00 a.m.
"Hiccup..." The ethereal cry of a crane pierced through the wind and snow, echoing throughout the quiet snowy morning in the Air China community in the imperial capital.
Amidst the falling snowflakes, twelve light and ethereal red-crowned cranes came gracefully, and followed the rustling of snowflakes to land on the rooftop garden of Xiao Yu's house.
Zhou Yanzhi held his military cap in one hand and his inner military uniform in the other, and wore a red cloak on the outside. Xiao Yu, who was also holding his military cap, walked out from the glass door.
As the two stepped into the open-air garden, the snow and icicles on the garden floor, green trees, flower beds, and eaves melted quickly and became dry in an instant.
Those snowflakes that had not yet fallen to the ground turned into nothingness in mid-air.
"Hiccup..." The cranes that had just landed felt the sudden warmth and stretched their wings comfortably.
Seeing his master coming out, the aloof He Xuanyuan and the silly little He Lingxi nodded their slender necks, took two steps back gracefully, spread their wings and soared into the air, and in an instant they unfolded like a folded crane feather fan with a "whoosh".
Xiao Yu glanced at the man next to him who was also wearing a cloak and a military uniform underneath, but he held the rank of general. He pointed his toes and his body rose up in the wind like a feather, and then gently landed on Lingxi's shoulder.
"Hiccup..." Lingxi flapped its wings, greeting them happily. At the same time, a spiritual power emanated from Xiao Yu's body, and the spiritual power was like an invisible shield, covering him and the crane at his feet.
As the spiritual power enveloped them, all the flying snowflakes automatically disappeared when they touched them.
Zhou Yanzhi didn't wait for the silly little He Lingxi to fly away with his people. He also stood on the cold He Xuanyuan like a fallen leaf.
Xuanyuan flapped his wings and caught up with Lingxi.
"Hiccup!" The cranes cried out and took off into the air. They transformed into guardians, standing guard over the two cranes.
This time, they did not fly into the clouds.
Instead, it slowly moved forward through the billions of snowflakes above the city.
The heavy snow blurred the visibility over the city. The busy city beauties were still running around for their lives and had no time to appreciate the beauty of the snowy sky.
Several freelancers who were trapped at home due to heavy snow picked up telescopes out of boredom. Because of boredom, while observing the snowflakes, they saw a fleeting figure of an immortal riding a crane.
"Fuck!"
"Am I dazzled?"
"What the hell?"
"Damn, was that the hero just returning?" The snow was so heavy, and the cranes so fast. Even if they were lucky enough to witness it, before they could get a closer look, the sky would have already lost that stunning, breathtaking figure.
Some people quickly used their brushes to record what they saw, but the ethereal figure was too mysterious. In the snowy day, it was like a dream. No one was willing to believe that this existed in the real world.
"I'm serious..."
"Dude, this is too fake! Tell me, do cultivators wear military uniforms these days?"
"Yeah, it's still a modern military uniform, damn! But it's a good idea."
“…”
"This means of transportation to work is really enviable!" In a secret office of an air monitoring center in the imperial capital, two middle-aged major generals joked with smiles in their eyes.
On the large screen before them, a flock of cranes could be seen flying across half the city in the snow. As the capital of a country, the air defenses were absolutely tight.
The fact that Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu could fly in the sky was naturally something they had coordinated in advance and did for show to some people.
"Just this one trip, I'm afraid the decryption center in the imperial capital will be bustling with activity soon."
"Tsk, those monkeys in the US, I wonder what they're going to do next."
“…”
The cranes slowly descended upon the center of an old building complex on the outskirts of the city. This complex consisted of a dozen neatly arranged office buildings built in the 1990s, the tallest of which was no more than ten stories high.
The building's environment is well planned, with a sports field, basketball court, recreational and fitness center, etc. In the summer, the greenery is definitely lush and green.
On weekdays, compared with the military area across a large lake, this complex of buildings is so quiet that it seems empty, with only one or two cars coming in and out occasionally.
Despite the heavy snow today, the building had changed its usual tranquility and become much busier. Starting at six o'clock, vehicles began to enter the complex from time to time. At dawn at seven o'clock, a group of soldiers carrying training equipment, led by a major, trotted over.
At 7:30, a group of soldiers who had put down their luggage in a building began to work busily to clear the traffic routes in the complex.
When the cranes arrived, like celestial beings, riding the wind, the soldiers, awakened from their snow-clearing duties, looked on in amazement. The sheer size of the red-crowned cranes before them was beyond their imagination.
When they saw someone falling from the crane and the crane quickly shrinking its body, their eyes narrowed unconsciously.
