Birthday Traditions (1)

Getting back to the main point, after Gao Lei and his son left, Zhao Yarou asked Ye Lang a question out of curiosity, "You said they could cure his hands, is that true?"

"It should be true, I've only heard about it..." Ye Lang replied.

"Have the medical skills of Light Physician become so good now? Gao Lei's hands should be beyond repair, yet they were able to heal them as if they were never injured." Zhao Yarou frowned. She was also proficient in alchemy and had some knowledge of medicine. She could tell how serious Gao Lei's injuries were, and she knew that these injuries could not be healed with the medical skills of the past.

It seems that with his help, the Holy Church's medical skills have improved considerably!

"Who said it's the same as not being injured? I just said it's the same as a normal person!" Ye Lang said at this moment.

"??" Zhao Yarou was a little confused.

"Even a god would have a hard time recovering from such an injury. It's impossible for him to be the same as before he was injured. However, it's still possible to make him like a normal person, able to lift things and do some light tasks," Ye Lang said.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yarou understood. What Ye Lang wanted to say was that, like a normal person who doesn't know Battle Qi or magic, it's impossible to pick up a sword and fight again.

"I'm not going to talk to you about this anymore. When do we start the meal? We'll leave as soon as we finish eating!" Ye Lang urged.

"The banquet is about to start, what's the rush! Okay, from now on, you'll stay by my side and be with me..." Zhao Yarou said.

"No, I'm not going with you, stay away from me!" Ye Lang interrupted Zhao Yarou and refused decisively.

"Why?" Zhao Yarou stepped forward and asked.

"You're dangerous!" Ye Lang said bluntly.

"..." Zhao Yarou remained silent, as did everyone else. No one had expected Ye Lang to reject Zhao Yarou so decisively and directly.

"I want you to spend my birthday with me, sit together, and celebrate my birthday, okay?" Zhao Yarou said softly, an expression she had never shown before, which stunned everyone.

Today, Zhao Yarou has already surprised them too many times, and so has Ye Lang.

"We'll talk about this later, the banquet is still a long way off." Ye Lang wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zhao Yarou's eyes, he seemed to remember something, but he couldn't quite place it. However, that feeling told him that he couldn't refuse.

"If you don't object, that means you agree. I'll arrange for you to sit next to me later!" Zhao Yarou said with a smile. At that moment, everyone could feel that Zhao Yarou's smile was genuine and that she was truly happy.

Could it be that this little Empress has fallen in love with this Fox Tribe boy?

Maybe so. Otherwise, how can we explain all of this? After all, she is an eighteen-year-old girl, a time of youthful exuberance. It's normal for her to fall in love with someone.

"Whatever!" Ye Lang replied, a hint of thought appearing in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't quite grasp what it was.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Ye Lang asked curiously when he noticed that Li Yue's suitors were standing in front of him.

"No, no, Ford Fox, you and Miss Li Yue are a perfect match, we have no objections!" someone immediately said. They had already seen Gao Lei's fate and the subtle relationship between Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou, so how could they dare to continue?

"We've come here to make friends with Ford Fox," one of them said.

"Yes, yes! I'm just here to make friends!"

"..."

These people made Ye Lang truly understand what it means to be opportunistic and what it means to have no permanent enemies...

"Be my friend, sure! We're all brothers under heaven!" Ye Lang smiled and started chatting with these people, making them feel like a real group of friends.

"Huh?" Li Yue was a little confused. Why did Ye Lang suddenly change his attitude and start talking to these people? Didn't he hate contacting these people?

Li Yue noticed more than just this about Ye Lang; she also discovered that Ye Lang was actively talking to some people, and those people didn't seem to be good people.

That's right, none of them are good people. These are people who have bullied Ye Lang in the past, or who have retaliated against the Ye Clan they left Soaring Sky Empire. Of course, this Ye Clan refers to the Ye Clan of Ye Yi's faction, not the current Soaring Sky Ye Family.

Why did Ye Lang do this?

Li Yue didn't understand, and what she understood even less was that Boss Zhu appeared later, the little girl Xiao Zhuer. She seemed to be the supplier for this birthday banquet, and many things were bought from her.

Li Yue wasn't surprised to see Xiao Zhuer here. Given Xiao Zhuer's current influence, she was qualified to attend this banquet, even without her providing any goods to the banquet. Now, she was even more qualified.

When little Xiao Zhuer saw Ye Lang, she immediately ran over, looking very excited. Li Yue wasn't surprised by this, because she had seen Ye Lang being pestered by Xiao Zhuer at the moon-viewing event at the Bamboo Heart Pavilion, and she had also seen Ye Lang and Xiao Zhuer releasing Kongming Lantern.

Li Yue strange was that when Ye Lang saw Xiao Zhuer coming over, his face turned cold. "Little sister, we're not very familiar with each other, don't come looking for me, go play over there!"

"..." Xiao Zhuer froze, looked at Ye Lang, gritted her teeth, and then turned and left.

What's he doing? Why is he acting so differently now? Was he just acting on a whim before, and this is his true intention?

Soon, the birthday banquet officially began. Ye Lang was pulled to the seat of honor by Zhao Yarou and sat with her, which surprised everyone.

That was originally the place where Zhao Yarou sat alone. There is a slight difference in the positions between the emperor and his subjects. Generally speaking, it's not that Zhao Yarou can't sit next to someone, but the person sitting there should be her closest person, namely the Empress's Prince, also known as the Imperial Prince.

However, no one had any ideas about this, and no one thought Ye Lang would be a candidate for the Imperial Prince. After all, in everyone's mind, Zhao Yarou was a capricious and tyrannical woman, and who knew what she was thinking now.

This banquet was very luxurious, with the finest food and wine, the most beautiful songs and dances, the most beautiful music, and fun entertainment.

Zhao Yarou seemed quite satisfied with the arrangements, smiling throughout. Ye Lang, standing beside her, was much more straightforward; he only liked one thing: the food and wine on the table.

During this time, Zhao Yarou even served food to Ye Lang, appearing very virtuous, as if she were really serving Ye Lang.

Ye Lang was stunned for a moment, then continued eating. Only after he had eaten and drunk his fill did he start watching the performances, which were, to his credit, very entertaining.
