Chapter 76
Could It be that the atmosphere isn’t romantic enough…?
Outskirts of Nanli City
After midnight tonight, the new year would arrive, and a grand fireworks display would be held to celebrate.
At this moment, the fireworks teams were mostly in position outside the city, ready to ignite the fireworks as soon as the appointed time arrived.
With some time still left before midnight, the people in charge of setting off the fireworks gathered together, enjoying drinks and lively conversation.
Just then, several dark figures swiftly appeared behind them. Before anyone could react, they were all silently knocked unconscious and dragged into the bushes…
A stunningly beautiful woman with an emotionless expression and a cold demeanor slowly emerged from the darkness of the bushes, a very long sword strapped to her waist.
Dozens of shadowy figures followed behind the woman, awaiting further instructions.
The woman raised her arm, and several of the shadowy figures immediately began to move and arrange the fireworks.
Once everything was ready, You Lian sent a voice transmission to Yue Qingyou from afar.
“Left Guardian, we’re ready on this side.”
Meanwhile, Ning Yechen, holding Luo Ruying’s hand, finally managed to navigate through the dense crowd and reached a street with fewer people.
Even after escaping the crowd, the two seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, showing no signs of letting go of each other’s hands.
Yue Qingyou, following behind, maintained a gratified smile on her lips.
Just then, she received the voice transmission from You Lian.
“Excellent!”
Yue Qingyou silently stepped forward, bowed to Luo Ruying, and said,
“Madam, I heard the New Year’s Eve fireworks display is about to start. Would you like to go and see it?”
“Fireworks display?”
“Isn’t that supposed to start after midnight? It’s still early, isn’t it?”
Luo Ruying said, puzzled.
In her impression, the fireworks display isn’t supposed to begin so soon.
Ning Yechen’s first reaction was that Yue Qingyou must be secretly planning something behind his back again…
She clearly hadn’t listened to a word he said…
In response to Luo Ruying’s confusion, Yue Qingyou maintained a calm demeanor and explained.
“Madam, you may not be aware, but the fireworks display has been moved forward.”
“Is that so…?”
Luo Ruying asked doubtfully.
She had heard that Nanli City’s annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display was incredibly magnificent and colorful, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who witnessed it.
Before they left the house, Qi Yuan had specifically emphasized that she shouldn’t miss the midnight fireworks display.
Yue Qingyou nodded with certainty.
“Yes.”
“Well, since we’re here, let’s go take a look then.”
Luo Ruying turned to Ning Yechen with a smile, seemingly seeking his opinion.
“If you’re interested, dear, let’s go.”
Although he didn’t know what Yue Qingyou was up to this time, seeing Luo Ruying’s apparent interest, Ning Yechen naturally couldn’t refuse.
The two of them, carrying Luo Hongye, arrived at a small hill specifically designated for viewing the fireworks display.
From here, they could not only overlook the myriad lights of the city but also enjoy the breathtaking fireworks blooming against the night sky.
However, when Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying arrived at the hill with Luo Hongye, there wasn’t a single soul in sight. It was completely empty.
How strange, there’s no one here…
Could it be that everyone doesn’t know the fireworks display has been moved forward?
Luo Ruying couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Little did she know that the area had already been cleared in advance.
Yue Qingyou sent a voice transmission to You Lian in the outskirts of the city.
“The Demon Lord and Madam are in position. Begin.”
“Yes!”
You Lian responded and immediately relayed the command to her subordinates.
“Proceed.”
Upon receiving the order, a group of Shadow Guards swiftly lit the fuses in their hands.
In an instant, streaks of fire shot up into the night sky with a whoosh, bursting into a dazzling display of colorful fireworks against the backdrop of the dark night.
The brilliant fireworks illuminated half of the night sky, intertwining with the twinkling stars, creating a scene of resplendent beauty.
Just as Qi Yuan had said, this fireworks display was truly dazzling and magnificent…
Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye in her arms, her beautiful eyes gazing quietly at the dazzling fireworks in the night sky and the myriad lights of the city below.
This feeling of peace and tranquility was something she had never experienced in the Heavenly Realm…
Suddenly, she felt that this fleeting beauty of the mortal world was no less captivating than the immortal path pursued by countless people in the Heavenly Realm…
Luo Hongye, nestled in her arms, also turned her head, her eyes filled with joy as she watched the fireworks and the starry sky, her gaze fixated on the blooming, radiant display.
Ning Yechen had initially wanted to scold Yue Qingyou for meddling again, but seeing that his wife and child seemed to be enjoying it, he let it slide…
At this moment, others in the city also noticed the fireworks in the sky. They stopped in their tracks and looked up at the night sky in wonder.
Some people quickly realized something was amiss and said in confusion, “Hey, wait a minute! Why did the fireworks display start early?!”
“Yeah, why didn’t anyone inform us?!”
People who had figured it out hurriedly gathered their families and rushed towards the hill where Ning Yechen was.
However, Yue Qingyou would never allow anyone to disturb the Demon Lord and Madam’s private time together!
A mysterious fog suddenly rose from the foot of the hill, and those who entered it instantly lost their way.
No matter how they walked, they couldn’t find their way out…
Even when cultivators tried to fly out on their swords, they couldn’t!
The fog seemed to have no boundaries, and they simply couldn’t escape!
She had to create the perfect opportunity for the Demon Lord and Madam to be alone!
Yue Qingyou noticed that Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were still just standing there holding hands, gazing into the distance, without making any further moves. She couldn’t help but frown slightly.
She even went so far as to send a voice transmission reminder.
“Demon Lord, you can try to take things further with Madam. Such matters require the right atmosphere!”
“With people watching from behind, how can there be any atmosphere?!”
Ning Yechen retorted speechlessly.
Although the atmosphere Yue Qingyou had created was indeed quite nice, with a few “light bulbs” following behind, how could he possibly be in the mood…
Yue Qingyou suddenly realized and immediately turned her head, her face cold, and ordered Meng Niu and the others, “You three are in the way here! Leave at once!”
“I’m talking about you!”
Ning Yechen couldn’t help but transmit his message almost in a roar.
Yue Qingyou, this woman, had no self-awareness at all!
Yue Qingyou’s face was filled with disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe that Ning Yechen was referring to her.
“I understand.”
To create some alone time for Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, Yue Qingyou tactfully left with Meng Niu and the others.
Finally, they’re gone…
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying sat together on the lawn, their arms intertwined, continuing to silently watch the blooming fireworks.
Although the intention was to create a moment for the two of them to be alone, Luo Hongye was still in Luo Ruying’s arms.
With their child present, even with the perfect atmosphere, they couldn’t do anything…
But sitting together as a family of three, enjoying the fireworks, wasn’t without its own charm…
At least he still enjoyed it.
Not far away, in the bushes, Yue Qingyou and Meng Niu’s group secretly peeked out.
Yue Qingyou frowned slightly, her expression pensive.
Why hasn’t the scene she was hoping for happened yet?!
Could it be that the atmosphere isn’t romantic enough…?
