Cold Clouds

Lin Xiaoxiao met Song Hanyun at nine o'clock in the morning on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Xiaoxiao had just woken up and walked out the door to see Song Hanyun playing with Lin Long.

Song Hanyun accompanied Lin Long in playing catch ghosts. This time it was Lin Long's turn to be the ghost. Song Hanyun saw from the corner of his eye that Lin Xiaoxiao's door opened. His body movements slowed down for a moment, and Lin Long pounced on her directly.

"Got it," Lin Long spoke more and more skillfully, and got along very well with Song Hanyun. After jumping on Song Hanyun, he hung around his neck and smiled, "Lin Long, I won."

Lin Long only realized at this time that Lin Xiaoxiao had come out, and immediately let go of Song Hanyun, moved closer to Lin Xiaoxiao, and hugged her: "Mom, okay."

"Okay~ Lin Long is fine too," Lin Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and touched Lin Long's head, "Mom will take you to the celebration today, okay?"

"Okay, mom will accompany you, Lin Long, be happy." Lin Long smiled, and Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at Song Hanyun.

"Aren't you in seclusion? Hmm..." Lin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, "Have you become a spirit? The thunder tribulation came so quickly?"

"Well, the day is over." Song Hanyun realized that this was a cover-up from his master when he heard Lin Xiaoxiao's words. He smiled and said, "Would you like to join us for the Mid-Autumn Festival today?"

"Well, that's fine. I don't mind." Lin Xiaoxiao stretched, opened the space door, pulled Lin Long and walked in, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Song Hanyun nodded and followed.

Jinlan City was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. Street vendors crowded the streets. Lin Xiaoxiao bought two candy figures and gave one to Lin Long, eating as they walked.

"Let's have some breakfast first," Lin Xiaoxiao only thought of this after she finished eating the candy, and took Lin Long to a breakfast shop, "Serve it first, whatever is available, don't be picky."

Song Hanyun sat opposite Lin Xiaoxiao, holding his chin and watching Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Long eat.

The boss stared at Lin Long while he ate ten baskets of steamed buns, drank twenty-five bowls of porridge, ate three baskets of fried dough sticks, and six plates of sesame balls.

And still eating.

Lin Xiaoxiao also had a new understanding of Lin Long's appetite.

After eating so much, she still didn’t show any sign of being full. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Long while biting a meat bun. Was this child of hers really a glutton?

Never mind, as long as it's cute.

In the end, Lin Long ate up all the breakfast in this breakfast shop for the day, and Lin Xiaoxiao also spent a lot of spirit stones.

It’s not a lot, but it’s only not a lot for Lin Xiaoxiao. Song Hanyun has never spent so many spirit stones in his life.

After paying, Lin Xiaoxiao took Lin Long and Song Hanyun out. She stood on the street for a while, then turned to look at Song Hanyun: "What's fun?"

As a local, Song Hanyun must know where the fun things are.

In fact, Song Hanyun felt that there was nothing fun, but he still tried to recall: "There is a stage in the west, and there are more acrobatics in the east..."

"Let's go watch a play!" Lin Xiaoxiao became a little excited when she heard that there was a stage in the west, and she was eager to go, "Lead the way!"

Lin Xiaoxiao likes to listen to operas. In her previous life, she was said to look like an old person because of this hobby.

Song Hanyun took Lin Xiaoxiao all the way to the front of the stage. The seats were almost full before the show started.

After buying the ticket and sitting in one of the few remaining seats, Lin Xiaoxiao finally remembered to ask what the show was about.

"Peking Opera, Dingjun Mountain." Song Hanyun looked at the ticket and said.

Peking Opera? Dingjun Mountain? Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the stage in confusion, and sure enough, she saw a man dressed as an old man.

No, you cultivators also listen to Peking Opera?

How did the Three Kingdoms and Huang Zhong reach you?

Well, familiar plays are also comfortable to listen to. Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged and stopped thinking about it.

Song Hanyun managed to finish the Snow Demon Butterfly fireworks at eight o'clock in the morning. The Snow Demon Butterfly King Qi'an kept clamoring to see what Lin Xiaoxiao looked like.

Song Hanyun was so annoyed by the noise that he took out the ice crystal.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't notice any of this because she was concentrating on watching the old actor singing on the stage.

"Is that it?" Qi An was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao. "Although she is good-looking, is her fate... against the way of heaven?"

Song Hanyun was silent for a while and nodded.

"Wow, you are the son of destiny, but you are with a woman who goes against destiny. How melodramatic! I love it so much. Is this girl the reincarnation of the woman named Ye Yuxie?" Qi An seemed excited for some reason. "When are you going to confess your feelings?"

Song Hanyun blushed, then his eyes dimmed again, and he sighed: "I won't show my feelings."

"Ah?" Qi An was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice, "Could it be... you are an idiot!?"

Song Hanyun was stunned. Why was he still cursing?

"What else? If you don't confess your feelings to someone you like, you'll regret it for the rest of your life?" Qi An seemed to have seen through Song Hanyun's thoughts. "If that's not a sign of illness, what is it?"

"But... I am..." Song Hanyun suddenly spoke up. Lin Xiaoxiao turned around in confusion. He scratched his head and concealed the truth. He continued in his heart, "The power of heaven will prompt me to kill her. Isn't it asking for trouble to show my feelings? Without this power of heaven, my soul will be annihilated. Isn't it better not to have feelings for her?"

Qi An, who originally wanted to express his true love to Song Hanyun, was stunned: "You mean..."

"When she fights the Heavenly Dao, I will crush the Heavenly Dao power in my body to help her," Song Hanyun asked for a bowl of tea and said to himself while drinking it, "Then I will leave."

Qi An remained silent and said nothing.

Song Hanyun was right. If Heaven took back the power given to the Son of Destiny, it would be impossible to defeat Heaven without the strength of the middle stage of Refining Void. But if it failed to take it back...

You can have a chance of winning in the early stage of refining emptiness.

"The fireworks are about to start." Lin Xiaoxiao was watching a new group of actors coming on stage when Song Hanyun reminded her.

Only then did Lin Xiaoxiao realize that the sky had darkened and the moon had risen. The full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month hung among the stars, emitting clear light.

Is it so late? I haven't eaten the mooncakes yet.

Even though I already ate a lot yesterday, I still have to show some appreciation.

Lin Xiaoxiao woke up Lin Long, who had fallen asleep while watching the show, and the three of them went to the dim sum shop where they had eaten yesterday.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had bought mooncakes, took the two of them to find Fu Xuan and others. They sat together, eating mooncakes while watching the moon and fireworks.

"Xiaoxiao," Song Hanyun suddenly said after an unknown amount of time, "Follow me."

Although she didn't know what Song Hanyun was going to do, Lin Xiaoxiao followed him anyway. Could Song Hanyun really harm her?

Song Hanyun brought Lin Xiaoxiao to the rooftop of the Yunjian Sect's main building, then hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "How do we fly up there?"

"How are you planning to get up there?" Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned by Song Hanyun's question and asked in confusion.

"I was planning to fly up on a sword, but..." Song Hanyun scratched his head and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Song Hanyun had just reached the state of incarnation a few days ago, so he was not very skilled in flying, so he was more stable with a sword. Lin Xiaoxiao could not fly with a sword, but she had many ways to fly.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a while, took off her coat, then pulled Song Hanyun up and took off directly.

The wings flapped, and Song Hanyun didn't react for a moment, but as the last firework, the Snow Demon Butterfly firework made by Song Hanyun himself had already taken off.

At the moment of explosion, everyone in the city saw the icy white fireworks spreading like snow.

The ice-attributed spiritual power spread out, just like snowing in this August day.

But what Lin Xiaoxiao saw was a huge snow demon butterfly taking off, and the scattered spiritual power formed into small snow demon butterflies.

The wings of the giant snow butterfly were a little incomplete. This was because Song Hanyun was not a professional craftsman after all, and the fireworks he made still had some flaws.

"Did you do this?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, sensing something was wrong.

Song Hanyun, who was being pulled by Lin Xiaoxiao, flew into the air, broke away from Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and stood beside her. His ears were slightly red, and he spoke softly: "Yeah."

"I knew that old ghost Qin Feng was lying to me..." Lin Xiaoxiao murmured as she looked at the fireworks.

"Happy birthday," Song Hanyun looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, "Do you like it?"

"I like it," Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Song Hanyun and smiled softly, "I like them all."

Song Hanyun blushed and fled in panic: "I'm going to look for my master."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Song Hanyun's back, and Mu Yingxiao leaned out from the side and said, "Oh, you like everything? What else do you like besides fireworks~"

"Mooncake." Lin Xiaoxiao replied and stuffed Mu Yingxiao back.

Okay, okay, mooncake~Mu Yingxiao glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's red ears.

Do you think I believe it? Hum.

Lin Xiaoxiao ignored Mu Yingxiao and watched the fireworks dissipate quietly.
