A Lonely Happy Birthday! Qian Ren Shang Finally Leaves Spirit City!

Late at night, Spirit City!

It was winter in Spirit City. As early as half a month ago, light snow had begun to fall over Spirit City, and by today... it had grown a little heavier.

Spirit City had long since been covered in thick snow, and the biting cold wind howled through the silent streets and alleys.

Spirit City at midnight was deathly still. Only the cold moonlight spilled across the snow, casting a pale, ghastly glow.

A three-year-old boy, dressed in thin and shabby clothes, slowly walked out from a certain corner of the grand yet icy Spirit Hall.

His small body trembled in the cold wind. Those frail little legs seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds, and every step looked so difficult.

His little face was red from the cold, his lips were purple, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and confusion.

The boy was none other than Qian Ren Shang!

Over the past few months, relying on information from Aunt Mei and the others, he had already figured out every large and small exit of Spirit Hall, and had rehearsed his escape route countless times in his mind.

Besides, that place was mainly meant to guard against Bibi Dong. For Qian Ren Shang, the resistance was much smaller.

"Mm... so it's already this cold outside."

Qian Ren Shang rubbed his little hands and looked at the vast whiteness before him, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Although he had successfully escaped, Qian Ren Shang had no direction or goal. He only knew that he wanted to stay farther away from Bibi Dong, from Qian Ren Xue and the others.

Otherwise, he would suffer to death...

"Mom... Sister, please allow me to call you that one last time."

After walking a long way, Qian Ren Shang suddenly turned back and looked at the brightly lit Spirit Hall behind him.

"I know you hate Xiao Shang... so I'm going to leave. If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't come back to find you again."

"From now on... we..."

Qian Ren Shang clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes red as he forced the words out with difficulty.

"Let's just pretend we never knew each other... Xiao Shang... hates... doesn't like being with you anymore!"

Qian Ren Shang did not even know how much resolve it had taken to say those words. The family affection he had longed for so long... from this moment on, he had given it up!

Qian Ren Shang stood there, staring at the brightly lit Spirit Hall, letting the wind and snow strike his face... almost burying him completely.

He did not know what he was hoping for either... hoping that someone would notice he was gone and chase after him?

Qian Ren Shang closed his eyes in despair.

He remembered that today was his birthday, so he said to himself,

"Qian Ren Shang... happy birthday..."

He smiled bitterly, and two streams of clear tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

After who knew how long!

Only then did Qian Ren Shang lift his feet with difficulty and walk into the distance. This time, he never looked back again, his steps gradually turning from hesitant to resolute.

Qian Ren Shang walked forward expressionlessly!

The houses on both sides of the street had their doors and windows shut tight. Ten thousand homes were lit... yet not a trace of warmth or care opened to him.

Qian Ren Shang walked alone. The snow under his feet made crunching sounds, as though it were the only sound accompanying him in this silent midnight.

His hair was whipped into a mess by the cold wind. Tears welled in his eyes, but quickly froze into beads of ice on his face.

He did not know where he should go. He simply walked forward on instinct, every step filled with despair.

The cold wind mercilessly lashed at him. He hugged his own arms tightly, trying to gain a trace of warmth, but that feeble effort seemed so futile in this bitter winter.

His little feet had already gone numb from the cold, yet they still moved mechanically.

The darkness around him seemed about to swallow him whole. His tiny figure looked so small and desolate on this empty street.

No one cared about his existence. No one heard the cries in his heart. He was like a fallen leaf abandoned by the world, drifting alone through this cold winter night.

He left Spirit City!

Qian Ren Shang continued to lower his head and walk into the distance. He did not know where he was going... but there was only one voice in his mind.

"Farther... a little farther... as long as I get away from here."

Fortunately, Qian Ren Shang had the enhancement of the Golden Dragon King bloodline. His physique was much stronger than an ordinary person's, so walking through the wind and snow was a little easier for him.

Step! Step! Step!

Who knew how much time passed.

Only one small footprint after another was left in the snow, and then there was no longer any sign of Qian Ren Shang!

Spirit Hall! Bedchamber!

Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue were still immersed in the world that belonged only to the two of them. Both of their faces were full of smiles, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

What Qian Ren Xue was thinking was that Bibi Dong was willing to spend her birthday with her, and she had gained Maternal Love again, so she was very happy.

As for Bibi Dong, she was immersed in imagining Qian Xun Ji's coming death. She had already made preparations to assassinate him. As for accompanying Qian Ren Xue for her birthday, that was merely incidental.

The two of them had different thoughts, but both of their faces overflowed with smiles.

Only after more than an hour did the atmosphere slowly return to calm. After all, there was only so much the two of them could talk about.

Bibi Dong even subconsciously brought up Qian Ren Shang, thinking of the foolish, pretentious look in his eyes when he had stood at the door earlier.

With one look, Bibi Dong had known that he had probably come with some request. Did that clumsy performance just now really think she could not see through it?

"You... take this last small piece of cake over to him."

Thinking that Qian Xun Ji would soon die and that her great grudge was about to be avenged, Bibi Dong was in an excellent mood, and did not mind giving Qian Ren Shang a tiny bit of "grace."

She believed she ought to be a decent mother!

"Fine..."

Qian Ren Xue agreed gloomily. She knew she could not defy Mother's order, or Bibi Dong would hate her.

So Qian Ren Xue picked up a small piece of cake and stormed toward Qian Ren Shang's room in a huff.

"Hmph... Mom is actually willing to let you eat cake. Damn it... you don't deserve to eat something that good!"

"Peh, peh, peh..."

As Qian Ren Xue thought this, she spat a few mouthfuls of saliva onto the cake. Only then did she continue toward Qian Ren Shang's room in satisfaction.

Duang! Duang! Duang!

When she arrived at Qian Ren Shang's door, Qian Ren Xue smashed on it impatiently.

"Qian Ren Shang... come out and take the cake!?"

"I'm telling you... I begged Mother so hard for this cake, and only then was Mother willing to give you a little. You'd better thank me!!"

Qian Ren Xue spouted nonsense and lies, but after a long while, there was still no response.

Qian Ren Xue instantly grew anxious. She felt that Qian Ren Shang was taking revenge on her, deliberately leaving her hanging here.

And so, Qian Ren Xue threw the cake straight onto the ground... and left.

If Qian Ren Shang did not plan to open the door, then he did not have to open it!

She thought angrily, then quickly returned to her own little room.

Bibi Dong looked up at her and subconsciously asked,

"Was the cake delivered?"

"It was delivered... he said he really liked eating it."

Qian Ren Xue lied casually, and Bibi Dong clearly did not care either.

"That's fine, then."

After that, she paid it no more attention. This cold night... seemed no different from usual.

P.S. Brothers, don't be anxious. It's about to get satisfying soon... let Bibi Dong and the others regret it to death!

Give me some votes, please. It's the recommendation period!
