For the next two weeks, Shen Miao focused on promoting the Lantern Festival and creating a festive atmosphere.
Soon everyone learned that the Beast Realm was going to hold a lantern festival. On the day of the festival, people from nearby tribes brought their families to join in the fun.
The roadside was lined with small lanterns, creating a sea of lights as far as the eye could see. The beastmen had never seen such a sight before and were speechless with astonishment.
Shen Miao and Qing Chen were also strolling around. She looked at the surprised expressions on the faces of the beastmen and felt a little proud. She could say that she had successfully organized this lantern festival.
Looking at Qingchen beside her, her profile was blurred by the lantern light. Her long white hair was draped over her back, and she was wearing a long robe personally tailored by Shen Miao. Her shoulders and back were straight, and even in the bustling lantern festival, she exuded a cool and otherworldly aura.
That face is really striking.
"Lanterns are here! Lanterns are here! Lanterns for sale! Who wants to buy a lantern?"
Just as Shen Miao was feeling sentimental, she was suddenly interrupted by a familiar little voice. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw four little ones standing in front of a pile of lanterns, shouting energetically.
With her little hands behind her back, she looked very serious.
A group of little ones rushed past Shen Miao, shouting, "There, there, there are lanterns for sale! Let's go take a look!"
Soon, the little ones' stalls were surrounded by the little ones.
Shen Miao and Qing Chen quietly walked over and heard the children introducing the lanterns to the children who were buying them: "Why don't you buy this lantern? This one is a lotus flower, it's so pretty."
"The lantern can be used for a long time. Even when the oil inside is gone, it can still be placed at home as a decoration."
"Oh dear, your hands are all dirty. Don't touch them like that. Look, you've made my lamp dirty. How am I supposed to sell it then?"
"It's okay, it won't get dirty. Don't listen to my second brother, you can take it and look at it, it's fine."
The cubs often accompanied Shen Miao to the beast farm, so they were already very skilled at doing business.
Shen Miao watched with great interest from the side, occasionally offering Qing Chen a few pointers, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
The cubs were successfully persuaded by the four cubs to buy lanterns, and they carried them along the road, looking incredibly proud of themselves.
Later, a young male beast came along, bought two lanterns, and gave them to a female beast. The female beast was shy, but she still accepted the lanterns. It was obvious that the two were a couple.
The four little ones shouted, "May your older brothers and sisters be happy and joyful!"
"Wishing my older brother and sister happiness and joy, this is a bonus. Anyone who wants one of our lanterns can receive a blessing!" Da Bao added.
The male beast turned around and gave his cubs a big smile, a smile full of joy.
Shen Miao found it amusing and was about to tease Qing Chen a bit when she turned around and found that he was no longer beside her. Looking up, she saw that Qing Chen had already walked to the stall with his long legs.
What was he going to do? Shen Miao wondered.
The children didn't recognize Qingchen at first and greeted him warmly, "Uncle, do you want a lantern? There are only two left!"
Uncle? Shen Miao burst out laughing.
Da Bao noticed something was wrong and quickly corrected him, "This isn't Uncle, this is Daddy."
The little ones realized what was happening and stuck out their tongues.
Qingchen calmly picked up a lantern from the stall and asked, "How do I exchange this one?"
The children were also confused, looking at each other, not understanding what was going on. Finally, the eldest child timidly asked, "Daddy, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't you say you were selling lanterns? What, you can't sell them to me?" Qingchen raised an eyebrow.
Erbao was the first to react: "Okay, okay, we can give it to Daddy. Daddy can take us hunting in the mountains next time and we can use this to exchange for it."
Qingchen also trains with a few of the children, but not often lately because he is busy with many things.
The children were eager to go hunting in the mountains with their father, so they took the opportunity to make their demands.
"Okay." Qingchen agreed, took the last two lanterns, and walked up to Shen Miao.
Shen Miao's heart pounded like a drum. Could it be...? Could it be what she was thinking? The next second, Qing Chen gave her both lanterns, leaving Shen Miao confused. "Why two?"
While other couples each had one, Qingchen gave her his too.
“Others get one, you get two, don’t you think you’ve made a profit?” Qingchen said leisurely.
Shen Miao: "..."
I don't really feel that way, but I'm actually a little happy inside.
And so, Shen Miao, carrying a small lantern in each hand, walked beside Qing Chen, followed by four adorable little children, swaggering through the crowd.
She's absolutely living the dream; at this moment, Shen Miao is so happy she's practically floating on air.
The lantern festival lasted until very late. There were occasional minor squabbles during the festival, but nothing serious happened, all thanks to Shen Miao sending Xuan Ran's army to keep things in order.
You have to understand, these beastmen are the type to start a fight at the drop of a hat, so it's quite remarkable that they can be so restrained.
For many days after the festival, people were still reminiscing about it, and when they chatted, they said that they wished there were more festivals like this, and that they would celebrate every day and have a lively atmosphere every day.
After the holiday, Shen Miao got busy again. As soon as she stepped out that day, an old female beast rushed over and shouted at her, "Give me back my daughter!"
Shen Miao looked over in confusion and saw an old female beast who looked somewhat familiar. She was dressed poorly and her hair was a bit messy, but she couldn't remember who she was, so she asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Frostflower's mother!" Frostmoon shouted.
Shen Miao didn't understand why she was yelling, nor was she interested. She wasn't interested in Shuanghua's affairs, nor was her family. So she nodded casually and prepared to leave.
Shuangyue darted forward and grabbed Shen Miao, "You're not allowed to leave! Hand over my daughter!"
Shen Miao pushed her hand away and said patiently, "Your daughter has harmed me many times, I can't let her go."
"You really imprisoned her! You have no right to do this! Hand her over!" Shuangyue shouted, trying to get help from those around her.
But no one paid attention to her. Some people even advised her that although Shuanghua was locked in the house, she was not too badly treated because she had food to eat every meal. They said that if she was let out, she would definitely cause trouble again, and told Shuangyue to stop being unreasonable.
Shuangyue refused to back down, glaring fiercely at Chen Miao, "It's you, it's all your fault! They all fawned over you and harmed my daughter, I will never let you get away with this!"
Shen Miao felt that she was just as crazy as Shuanghua, no wonder she raised such a daughter. She didn't want to pay any attention to her and turned to leave.
The air behind her suddenly fluctuated violently. Shen Miao tilted her head, dodging Shuang Yue's supernatural power, but she couldn't dodge the tree in front of her; it was cleaved in two.
