Birthday Tradition (2)

A great show makes time fly by, and it also speeds up the show's descent, bringing it to its end very quickly.

As the event drew to a close, beautiful fireworks lit up various parts of the Imperial Palace. The dazzling display of Fiery Tree Silver Flowers immediately captivated Ye Lang and his companions, as well as everyone in the entire Imperial Palace and the entire imperial city who could see them.

"Zhao Yarou, these fireworks are really nice."

"Yes, it's very beautiful, but its beauty is too fleeting!"

"If this beauty weren't fleeting, how could anyone remember it? People tend to overlook the most easily visible beauty around them!"

"..."

Without realizing it, Ye Lang started talking to Zhao Yarou, forgetting some things, and it really felt like he was celebrating Zhao Yarou's birthday.

"Hey, who's releasing Kongming Lantern?"

Amidst the fireworks, Ye Lang saw Kongming Lantern rising one by one. These Kongming Lantern were clearly much more magnificent than the ones he had released before, and the scene this time was also much more spectacular than the last.

"Kongming Lantern... Is this the Kongming Lantern you released last time?" Zhao Yarou asked.

"Yes! I was bored at the time, so I set off a few, and I didn't expect them all to follow suit." Ye Lang looked at the twinkling lights in the night sky.

"Of course, because they are all beautiful!" Zhao Yarou said softly.

"Oh right, you can release Kongming Lantern now. Write your birthday wish on it and release it. If God... uh, if it's a goddess, she'll receive your wish and it will definitely come true. It's a pity there are no Kongming Lantern now..." Ye Lang said with a regretful expression.

"I do have Kongming Lantern, and I'm going to release it with you!" Suddenly, a large and magnificent Kongming Lantern appeared beside Zhao Yarou. It was designed by Xiao Zhuer and could fly into the sky.

And this is the highlight of the evening: Zhao Yarou wants to release the Kongming Lantern with Ye Lang.

"Then write down a birthday wish and stick it on!" Ye Lang said excitedly. At this moment, he had forgotten everything else and only knew how to play.

"Okay!" Zhao Yarou asked someone to bring her a pen, but instead of ink, she used water to write, water that was completely colorless.

This is because she didn't want anyone to see her birthday wish. Since it was for the goddess, the goddess would definitely be able to see her wish!

Only the goddess and she herself know her true wish!

Ye Lang didn't pay much attention to this. After finishing writing with Zhao Yarou, he released the Kongming Lantern with her. Under the light, Zhao Yarou's face was full of smiles, which was probably the happiest smile she had ever had in her life!

Because at this moment, she is celebrating her birthday with Ye Lang, letting her wishes take flight!

Ye Lang, on the other hand, excitedly released the Kongming Lantern, revealing his most genuine smile, a smile that made people feel close to him!

Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou had no idea that their actions would become a tradition in the future. Many years later, the mainland had a tradition about birthdays: writing down one's wishes, attaching them to Kongming Lantern, and releasing them.

The higher the Kongming Lantern rises, the easier it is for your birthday wish to come true!

Zhao Yarou had no idea that what she had only wanted to do to fulfill her own wish would be remembered by history forever. Everyone in later generations would know the legend about her and Ye Lang, because everyone has a birthday.

However, what later generations may not know is that things took a dramatic turn afterward!

After the Kongming Lantern disappeared from sight, Zhao Yarou's birthday party came to an end.

"Thank you for spending the best birthday of my life with me!" Zhao Yarou said to Ye Lang.

"Why are you thanking me? I don't think I've done anything," Ye Lang said blankly.

"That's enough, that's enough!!" Zhao Yarou smiled gently, looking at Ye Lang's face. At that moment, she seemed to become very gentle, like a tender...

Wife? No, she's more like a younger sister!

This feeling was really strange, not only to the people around him, but even Ye Lang felt it was strange.

"Are you thinking about something bad? Why are you laughing so strangely?" Ye Lang asked blankly.

"No, I wasn't thinking anything bad! I just wanted to ask you something..." Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang and said with a smile.

"What is it?" Ye Lang asked.

"Ye Lang, tell me, how did you attach your fox ears and tail?" Zhao Yarou asked casually, a smile on her face, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

What?!

What was the Emperor just saying? She seemed to be talking about Ye Lang. Is Ye Lang here? Also, are the fox ears and tail attached? Is she referring to the Fox Tribe in front of us?

Could this Fox Tribe boy be Ye Lang? No, that's impossible, how could that be?

Everyone's hearts began to churn, and Li Yue's expression changed. They all wanted to know the answer and asked Zhao Yarou why she said that.

Soon, Ye Lang's words confirmed everyone's suspicions: the Fox Tribe youth before them was indeed the Thirteenth Young Master Ye.

"This is very simple. Your alchemy skills are so strong that you should be able to use it too, as long as..." Ye Lang replied, seemingly unaware that he had been discovered, and patiently explained his method.

Only the Thirteenth Young Master Ye could be this slow-witted!

At this moment, some questions that had been troubling everyone were also answered, such as why Zhao Yarou valued Ye Lang so much, and why this Fox Tribe boy was so strange.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhuer also understood some things. She knew why Ye Lang could give her that feeling, because they were essentially the same person. At the same time, she also understood why Ye Lang suddenly distanced himself from her, because he didn't want Zhao Yarou to know.

Those who are close to Ye Lang may be retaliated against by Zhao Yarou. Not long ago, someone proved this by saying that those who were not very good to Ye Lang were punished by Zhao Yarou for treason.

Li Yue finally understood why Ye Lang had been befriending these people; it turned out he wanted to harm them. However, these people truly deserved their fate, and they had no one else to blame but themselves!

At this moment, everyone began to act; some retreated, some advanced, forming a pincer movement to surround Ye Lang.

In fact, when Zhao Yarou uttered the name Ye Lang, the guards had already begun to change their positions. Iron Blood Guard originally wanted to step forward, but Zhao Yarou secretly stopped him.
