It was snowing.
Scattered snowflakes drifted down leisurely, dancing with the faint breeze like sprites in the night.
The streetlamps shone brightly, diffusing through the darkness and making the tiny flakes glimmer.
"Ah, it's snowing." Gu Yunxi's voice brimmed with undisguised excitement as she reached out to catch the falling snow.
Her cheeks were a little red from the cold wind, but she looked delighted.
It was time for Lingyun Academy's holiday again. With nothing else to do, she had dragged Jiang Wanshang out to wander around Jiuyao City.
As the Imperial Capital of the Tianxing Empire, Jiuyao City covered an enormous area, and its facilities were exceptionally well-developed.
Such a simple description seemed rather pale and powerless, so an image-making comparison would do better.
It resembled Huaxia's great metropolises, yet without the frantic pace of modern cities. It possessed a distinct leisure, slow and unhurried.
A different kind of Jiangnan water town.
"It's snowing. You don't see that often around the academy." Jiang Wanshang looked up at the swirling fine snow.
Lingyun Academy was located in a much warmer region of Tianlan Continent than Jiuyao City. Even during the Month of Cold Winter, snowfall was rarely seen there.
The two places were also far apart, but with the convenience of the Teleportation Array, that sense of distance vanished.
"I wonder whether the snow will get heavier tonight." Gu Yunxi was already looking forward to it. "When heaven and earth are all blanketed in white, we have to take pictures!"
Using Magic Phones to take photos and videos had become a habit for most customers, making it easy to preserve things worth remembering.
"I'll take them for you then." Jiang Wanshang smiled. Then two familiar figures suddenly entered her sight, and she could not help tugging at Gu Yunxi's sleeve.
