Hua turned around in surprise upon hearing the voice, shouting excitedly, "Chu Yu!!!"
Chu Yu stood under the sycamore tree, the moonlight shining on him as if draping him in a holy glow. Hua Xiao ran towards Chu Yu, her skirt swaying in the night with her movements, and she crashed straight into his arms, forcefully barging into his heart.
Hua hugged Chu Yu tightly around the waist, calling out softly, "Chu Yu, Chu Yu, Chu Yu..."
A series of "Chu Yu" sounds rang out in the quiet night. The silvery sound startled the blue phoenix sleeping on the top of the paulownia tree. Hua hugged Chu Yu for a while before letting go. She held Chu Yu's sleeve with her hand. She had so many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
Hua used the moonlight to observe Chu Yu. Chu Yu had changed, becoming more mature and charming than before. His facial features were more defined, and his jawline was sharp. He stood in front of her in a white shirt, looking even more stern when he wasn't smiling.
Chu Yu leaned down and brought his face close to Hua's, making sure his little flower could see it more clearly. After a while, he whispered, "Has Liao Liao seen enough?"
Hua Ruo woke up as if from a dream, blushing and taking a few steps back. "Ahem! That's about enough!"
Hua placed her delicate hand on her chest, which was pounding like a drum. What was wrong? Why was her heart beating so fast? Hua touched her cheek; why did her face feel a little hot?
Chu Yu looked at the blushing and flustered Hua across from him, smiled, and sighed inwardly, thinking that his Liao Liao was finally starting to get it!
Chu Yu stepped forward, bent down, and looked at Liao Liao's slightly flustered expression. He said in a serious tone, "Then, Liao Liao, would you like to take a closer look? See if I'm different from before?"
She gently pushed Chu Yu away a little with her small hands, "You, you can talk, why are you so close? Move away, I, I, I feel uncomfortable with you looking at me like that."
Chu Yu chuckled lightly, obediently took a step back, pointed behind him with his finger and said, "Take a little more back."
Chu Yu actually took another small step back. Seeing this, Hua became slightly annoyed. "Take another step back!" Doesn't he know he looks even better now? Hua gently patted her burning cheeks with her small hand.
Seeing that Chu Yu had retreated five steps, Liao Liao finally felt a sense of relief and quickly took deep breaths to calm her racing heart. Chu Yu watched Liao Liao's adorable little actions, his smile never fading. How could his Liao Liao be so cute!
Seeing Chu Yu's teasing look, Hua became even more embarrassed. After calming down a bit, she said, "Chu Yu, why did you come out of seclusion now? Did you do this especially to celebrate my birthday?" Hua's round eyes were full of laughter.
Although the question was directed at Chu Yu, the confident expression on her face was remarkably vivid. Chu Yu did not deny it and directly admitted with a slight smile, "Yes, how could I not appear for our little princess of the Divine Clan's important two-thousandth birthday?"
She took a few steps forward, affectionately took Chu Yu's arm, tilted her chin up, and asked him, "Have you prepared anything for me?" As she spoke, she stretched out her small hand in front of Chu Yu's eyes, her little hand slightly hooked, indicating that Chu Yu should take out his birthday gift.
Chu Yu feigned displeasure and gently slapped Hua's little hand, saying, "So, our little Hua only wants my gift? She doesn't want to see me?"
For Hua, Chu Yu's mere presence was more gratifying than anything else. Of course, a birthday gift would be even better. Hua pouted slightly and said sweetly, "Chu Yu, how could I be the kind of little goddess who only cares about gifts? You have no idea how much I missed you while you were in seclusion for so long~~"
Ever since Chu Yu went into seclusion, Hua has found it hard to adjust, so whenever she has time, she goes to wait outside his seclusion gate. Sometimes she complains about how difficult the cultivation is and tries to be cute with Chu Yu, and sometimes she just talks about random things. This has been going on for the past thousand years...
Chu Yu, of course, knew how much Liao Liao missed him. Although he was in seclusion, he couldn't stop worrying about her, so he spared a wisp of his divine consciousness to stay by her side. He watched her often nagging at the door of his seclusion. Liao Liao didn't know how many times he had wanted to come out and be with her, but he couldn't...
He could only protect his Liao Liao by becoming stronger. Chu Yu stopped teasing Hua and conjured an ancient wooden box in his hand. He said to Hua, "How could I not prepare for such an important day for Liao Liao?!" He then gestured for Hua to open it and take a look.
Hua accepted the box with delight, never expecting that Chu Yu had prepared a birthday gift for her. She couldn't wait to open it, and inside was a blood-red bracelet. The blood color inside the bracelet seemed to be flowing, and a green vine-like band wrapped around the outside of the bracelet.
Hua carefully picked it up and examined it closely, but still couldn't figure out its origin. She looked at Chu Yu with a puzzled expression, "Chu Yu...this bracelet...why do I feel like I'm familiar with it? Does it have a name?"
Looking into Hua's puzzled and curious eyes, Chu Yu said seriously, "Alright, it's called 'Execution'!"
