Song Zhi and Mo Xiuyao stumbled and went on like this. After staying in the Demon's Note Valley for too long, Song Zhi almost forgot about the outside world. She only felt that the years in the mountain were long and everything was smooth and gentle.
One morning, there was a sudden explosion in the distance. Song Zhi woke up and ran out without even putting on her shoes. She rushed out of the tent and met Mo Xiuyao, who was eating breakfast. The two of them fell silent at the same time. Mo Xiuyao spoke first. "A dog is chasing you?"
Song Zhi was both frightened and confused. "...I think something exploded just now…"
As soon as she finished speaking, a series of crackling sounds rang out outside the valley. It sounded like...
"That's the sound of firecrackers." Mo Xiuyao looked at Song Zhi as if he was looking at a fool. "You've never seen firecrackers before?"
"... Of course I've seen firecrackers. But why are there firecrackers outside?" Song Zhi asked.
"Because it's New Year's Eve today," replied Mo Xiuyao.
Song Zhi was stunned for a moment. New Year's Eve… Ah, she counted the time. She had been in this world for almost half a year.
Mo Xiuyao glanced at Song Zhi's white and red toes. While eating breakfast, he said in a mocking tone, "These people in the Immortal world, they claim to be pure and refined, but they are still a bunch of secular people. When it comes to a festival in the mortal world, it's hard to hide their love to join in the fun. They are really embarrassing."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Song Zhi take out a string of firecrackers from her Cosmos Bag and said to him with a smile, "Sir Demon Lord, let's set off some firecrackers!"
Mo Xiuyao, "..."
"Wait a moment, I'll put on my shoes." Song Zhi put the firecrackers on the small table and turned her head to enter the tent. She chatted with Mo Xiuyao while putting on her shoes, "I bought this at the market before I came to the Demon's Note Valley. I was thinking that if I cured the Gu Poison, I would set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate. I didn't expect that I would catch New Year's Eve before I could fully recover."
Song Zhi's mumbling could be heard continuously from the tent. The firecrackers were laid on the small table in a jubilant manner. One of the firecrackers had two mud spots on it, and it looked at Mo Xiuyao sarcastically like two eyes. In the end, Mo Xiuyao did not set off the firecrackers. Not only did he not set them off himself, but he also forbade Song Zhi from doing so.
"As long as I hear the slightest sound of firecrackers in the Demon's Note Valley…" Mo Xiuyao looked at Song Zhi with a faint smile. Song Zhi pouted and looked at him pitifully. However, she did not get any sympathy and could only put away the firecrackers regretfully.
Today, the Purple Cloud Sword Sect was particularly lively. After the firecrackers went off for a while, the sound of small fireworks could be heard. Song Zhi's heart itched when she heard it, but she did not dare to disobey Mo Xiuyao's orders. What a joke. Mo Xiuyao was her lifesaver now, and she could not afford to offend him.
The days in the Demon's Note Valley repeated day after day. Song Zhi was happy with this kind of repetition before, but when she heard that it was New Year's Eve today, she suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
It was just like in her previous life, when everyone was at work, she did not find the days boring. However, once everyone was on holiday and she was the only one at work, it was difficult for her to maintain peace.
Ah… I really want to leave this place! Song Zhi tossed and turned for the entire day absent-mindedly until it was time for dinner.
"You look like you're going crazy...." They were halfway through dinner, but Song Zhi still did not say a word. "Is it because I didn't let you set off the firecrackers?"
Song Zhi paused. "If I say yes...."
"I won't agree to that either." Mo Xiuyao smirked.
Song Zhi, "..." I knew it! Mo Xiuyao, this dog!
After dinner, Mo Xiuyao left again, leaving Song Zhi alone by the stream. She sat on a small stool and listened to the lively fireworks outside. Just from the sound, one could tell how beautiful the fireworks were. But when she looked up, she could only see the canopy that covered the sky and the faint moonlight under the canopy.
No! This was the first New Year after her rebirth, and it had to be remembered! Song Zhi rubbed her hands and cleaned up the table quickly. The night was getting darker and the fireworks were getting louder. Even through the thick seal, she could feel the festive atmosphere of the Purple Cloud Sword Sect.
Mo Xiuyao was resting with his eyes closed. His brows had not relaxed since dinner. Just as he was getting more and more impatient, a light footstep approached. His eyes moved slightly, and his tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed a little.
