Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

"Xiao Hei, so you're really familiar with all those things up there?" Wen Shu blinked her big, round, adorable eyes, which were like crystal grapes, and asked with a face full of curiosity.

The little black cat, all black like a night elf, tilted its head slightly, revealing a hint of arrogance, but quickly pouted and said, "Actually, I haven't been up there many times." As it spoke, it gently combed its glossy fur with its delicate paws.

Wen Shu wasn't disappointed by the little black cat's answer. Instead, she turned her attention to the halo above the cat's head, which radiated a mysterious light. Her eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Wow! Little Black, did that halo appear after you just leveled up?"

Upon hearing this, the little black cat's previously lazy demeanor instantly became energetic. It puffed out its chest and proudly replied, "That's right! I've been cultivating very diligently lately, which is why I've gained such powerful strength and this dazzling halo!" Its words were filled with undisguised pride.

However, just as the two were chatting happily, suddenly, without warning, a blinding red light appeared in the sky. The red light, like an overturned paint box, spread rapidly, dyeing half the sky crimson in the blink of an eye. The entire world seemed to be enveloped by this sudden, strange phenomenon, appearing both magnificent and eerie.

"What on earth is going on?" Wen Shu, who had been sitting quietly in the chair, suddenly stood up as if she had been pricked with a needle, her face full of astonishment.

He stared wide-eyed at the strange sight before him, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but he was too shocked to speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei said unhurriedly, "In my opinion, someone is about to unleash a big move. But don't worry, this kind of thing is not something we small fry can interfere with." When Xiao Hei spoke, he deliberately imitated the tone of an old man who had experienced many things and was very knowledgeable, which sounded somewhat comical.

After hearing Xiao Hei's words, Wen Shu calmed down a little, but his heart was still filled with curiosity and unease. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Making such a commotion, it seems I won't be able to sleep at all tonight. In that case, what should I do? I can't just wait here..." As he spoke, he unconsciously began to scratch his head, as if that would help him come up with a good idea.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei had a brilliant idea and excitedly exclaimed, "Hey! Why don't we observe the celestial phenomena? I heard that all the people who can't sleep tonight are looking up at the changes in the sky! Maybe there's some earth-shattering secret hidden there waiting for us to discover!" After saying that, Xiao Hei struck a pose as if he was ready to watch the excitement unfold.

Wen Shu thought about it and felt that the suggestion was not bad. So he said to Xiao Hei, "Hmm, you have a point. It's just that it's quite chilly outside at night. Why don't we go to the attic? It'll be warmer there, and the view is quite open."

Xiao Hei nodded without hesitation and readily agreed, "Sure! As long as I can see the celestial phenomenon, that's fine. Even if I open the window, I can still see it clearly!"

Wen Shu lay languidly on the small sofa, as if all her strength had been drained away. Beside her, Xiao Hei lay quietly and obediently on the wooden table, like a fluffy little black ball.

At that moment, both the human and the cat looked up at the azure sky, as clear as a jewel. A transparent stone shimmered with an eerie light in the air, then suddenly began to rapidly transform into countless pure white, crystalline snowflakes, which fluttered down in a gentle, graceful dance. These snowflakes moved like dancing sprites, their movements light and beautiful.

Time passed slowly, and Wen Shu and Xiao Hei quietly admired this wondrous sight, unaware that a long, long time had gone by. Finally, as the last snowflake gently drifted down, the sky gradually returned to its usual tranquility.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, or perhaps influenced by the tranquil and beautiful atmosphere, Wen Shu unknowingly covered herself with a soft blanket and fell into a deep sleep in the cozy attic.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Wen Shu slowly woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking around at the unfamiliar yet familiar surroundings with a sense of bewilderment, unable to recall for a moment when she had returned to bed.

At dawn, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes. He stretched, then got up and walked to the window, gently pulling back the curtains. Instantly, a hazy scene came into view; the entire sky was shrouded in a faint pink hue, as if someone had just dropped a giant pink smoke bomb. Mu Chen wondered if he was still fully awake, so he quickly put on his glasses, trying to see more clearly. However, even so, the pink mist was still clearly visible.

Mu Chen looked out the window in confusion, suddenly noticing a lot of leaves and branches scattered on the ground. "Was there a strong wind last night?" he wondered to himself, but he couldn't recall hearing any wind last night. For some reason, he felt that the night had passed exceptionally long, as if he had been asleep for a very, very long time.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen turned back to the bedside and gently shook Wen Shu's shoulder, trying to wake her up to admire this strange sight together. But no matter how he called, Wen Shu kept her eyes tightly closed, showing no sign of waking up. Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried. He reached out and felt Wen Shu's forehead, and only after confirming that she didn't have a fever or be sick did he feel a little relieved.

"Perhaps she's been too tired lately..." Mu Chen murmured softly, deciding not to disturb Wen Shu's rest any longer and let her continue to immerse herself in her sweet dreams. However, looking at Wen Shu's peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't help but start to wonder: Why has Wen Shu been so sleepy and prone to drowsiness lately? Is there something wrong with her health, or is it caused by something else?

Mu Chen quietly enjoyed his hearty breakfast. After finishing the last bite, he gently put down his utensils, got up, and headed to his study.

Upon entering the study, the familiar scent of books wafted over him. Mu Chen slowly walked to the bookshelf, his gaze sweeping over the rows of neatly arranged books. Just as he was carefully selecting the next book, suddenly, a yellowed ancient book slid off the shelf and fell to the ground with a "thud."
