Go Pick the Star You Wished Upon

The stream babbles.

Around the Magpie Bridge, there were many men and women engaging in friendly and pure emotional exchanges. Yun Province has an open-minded culture, and it is understandable for men and women to hold hands, hug, or even bite each other's lips.

So what's wrong with massaging little feet?

That's what Little Li thinks, anyway.

Moreover, he contracted a strange illness.

She's such an understanding Ice Block today, she'll definitely understand him. You can tell by the slight trembling of her little feet every now and then, especially when she touches the soles of her feet.

Ice Block was quite talkative today, though still not as much as Little Li.

Li Mo recounted what happened at the Sword Tower, their childhood, the problems they encountered while observing Divine Intent and body tempering, and the interesting stories brought about by the Mystery of the Womb.

As is widely known.

There's almost nothing funny about this Ice Block.

But the smile on her lips never faded as she listened quietly to the boy's words.

"Weren't they saying there would be fireworks? Why hasn't it started yet?"

After a long while, Li Mo held the soft, warm object in his palm, looked up at the sky, and murmured:

"If we can see the fireworks, our trip to Yun Province will be truly perfect."

"If..."

Ying Bing's delicate toes twitched slightly. She instinctively reached to gather the hair behind her ear, but realized that she didn't need it now that she was wearing a jade hairpin.

"If what?"

"It's alright, look."

She didn't reply, her gaze fixed on the distance.

If only things could stay like this forever.

Actually, Li Mo didn't need to turn around; he had already seen the gleam in her eyes.

A streak of rose-red light shot into the night sky, exploded with a 'bang' into countless sparks, and was quickly engulfed by subsequent fireworks.

A shower of stars fell under the night sky over Yun Province City, turning the clouds into a crimson hue that reflected the magnificent scenery of the human world.

"These fireworks are so bright!"

The fireworks in Yun Province were of higher quality than Little Li had imagined, and were no worse than the ones he had seen in his previous life.

With this light, what had happened in the darkness became all the more apparent.

What we're saying is that the young people Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are incredibly enthusiastic and unrestrained.

They took advantage of the fireworks to bite each other's lips and even hugged each other and nibbled.

If Senior Brother Ouyang or Brother Murong saw this, they would definitely be very surprised. How could there be so many hidden Demon Race in Yun Province City? And they are even brazenly displaying their bestial nature!

They're even eating people! Is anyone going to do anything about it?!

Little Li curled his lip, making him almost want to nibble on something.

Ying Bing felt the pressure on her foot increase. She glanced at the boy's lips, her fingers twitched slightly, and then she looked up at the sky again.

Is this how pigs run?

But isn't that a bit...?

"Li Mo, close your eyes." Ying Bing's lips parted slightly.

"!" Little Li was startled.

"Do what?"

I won't tell you yet.

Li Mo's brain went blank for a moment before he closed his eyes. Before he closed his eyes, he vaguely saw the smile on the girl's lips.

Then the warmth in my palm disappeared, and I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

A rustling sound came from inside; perhaps the Ice Block had stood up?

A subtle fragrance suddenly wafted to her nose, and she drew closer...

A cool touch came from his wrist; she had taken his hand... Li Mo felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

But it wasn't what I expected.

The expected tactile sensation did not occur.

"You can open your eyes now."

"Um."

Li Mo opened his eyes and saw a red string on his wrist.

It was used to tie up Ice Block before.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ying Bing said softly.

"Hmm... Happy Autumn Festival." Li Mo twirled the red string, no longer looking at the jade-like lips not far away.

What was he thinking just now?

Although Ice Block was no longer as aloof and unapproachable as before, there was no way she would take the initiative to kiss him.

This is science fiction, so incredibly sci-fi!

And this is nothing; usually, it's boys who do these things...

Bang--

Suddenly, a bright orange-yellow streak of light pierced the sky from the south, turning the night sky into daylight in an instant.

It's probably not just in Yun Province; it can be seen clearly even from a distance.

"What kind of fireworks are these? They're so bright, and... why did they fall from the sky?"

Li Mo was stunned.

Wrong.

That's not fireworks at all, it's a shooting star!

But there's no such bright shooting star.

The delicate hand that gripped his wrist suddenly tightened, and Li Mo saw the smile on Ying Bing's jade-like face gradually fade.

I watched the shooting star fall towards Southern Border.

Ying Bing frowned slightly, letting out a soft sigh.

"The fireworks are about to end."

"Okay, let's go back. My socks..."

"I don't know?"

Seeing the boy's blank expression, Ying Bing's gaze remained calm, her eyes seemingly glancing at Li Mo's pocket.

Li Mo casually touched it, his face showing surprise:

"Huh? When did your stockings end up here by themselves? I get it, it must be from the 'all-inclusive service' routine. I guess it's an occupational hazard."

"..."

"As an apology, I'll let you wear it."

Li Mo was mainly driven by curiosity.

After helping Ying Bing put on her shoes and socks, the two returned to the restaurant by Fish-Dragon Lake.

The restaurant was quiet at this moment; everyone was probably still out having fun. Only Murong Xiao remained sitting there, quietly without uttering a sound.

"..."

Seeing the two return hand in hand, Murong Xiao's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

His face seemed even more distressed.

The two went up to the roof of the restaurant.

At this moment.

The meteor had not yet disappeared; standing higher up, one could better observe the faint, almost imperceptible, fluctuations of Divine Intent.

This doesn't even look like a shooting star; it looks more like a divine bird descending towards the south.

Li Mo closed his eyes again.

It wasn't that he particularly believed in those mystical and mysterious things.

Shooting stars are a rare sight in a lifetime, so it's good to have a sense of ceremony.

"Li Mo?"

"Haha, I just made a wish."

"That wasn't a shooting star..."

Ying Bing didn't finish her sentence, and asked softly:

"What did you wish for?"

The boy laughed heartily, "I hope that the days to come will be peaceful and smooth, and that everyone in the Clear Abyss Sect, and you... will be happy every day."

"..."

Peace and joy.

This is everyone's greatest wish, yet it is also the most difficult thing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

An accident or tomorrow—you never know which will come first.

Although they are considered outstanding among their peers now, they are still insignificant in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

They are not likely to change the future of Clear Abyss Sect's survival in the near future.

She experienced the hardships and displacement that followed the fall of the Clear Abyss Sect.

"You should return to Purple Sun Prefecture with the elders in a couple of days. I need to go to the Southern Border, but it won't be long. Don't let your progress fall behind."

"Southern Border? What are you going there for?"

"Go and retrieve the shooting star you wished upon."

Ying Bing's voice was clear and melodious. As she watched the starlight completely disappear, she felt the warmth of the boy's hand.

She turned back and smiled, her eyes still bright.

I've used up too much energy, and continuing to write will affect the quality. I'll save the chapter from this morning for tomorrow.

I'm begging you viewers to donate money to support me, lol.
