"Are you waiting for someone?"

Shang Qinqing sat down with a smile and casually picked up a skewer of grilled meat.

"No."

Ying Bing Shang Qinqing was alone, Ying Bing pursed her lips as if nothing was wrong:

"He didn't come back with you?"

"No, he still has some things to take care of."

Shang Qinqing shook her head.

Tsk, what did Xiao Mo say before? He said he would never lie to her, and his expression was so resolute.

Turning to myself, I wondered, what was the point of this...? Serapace, it was a white lie.

"Um..."

A delicate hand quietly pulled the barbecue plate in front of her back.

"?"

Shang Qinqing saw all this and was speechless for a moment.

Since I didn't bring your Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul back with you, you don't even deserve to eat barbecue skewers.

"Admit it, you miss him."

"I see, it's because Young Hero Li has been gone for too long."

The proprietress, having been through similar experiences, immediately understood the reason.

"..."

Ying Bing's cheeks twitched slightly, her face remaining expressionless and Ice Block: "These skewers smell pretty good."

"Little Bing, look at your Big-Headed Doll! You've practically plucked its head bald; it's all shiny and gleaming."

Shang Qinqing persisted.

Ying Bing tilted her head.

Ice Block doesn't quite understand what you're saying. jpg

"Speaking of which, Young Hero Li has been gone for so long without any news. Could something have happened to him?" the proprietress wondered.

"!"

Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled, and she almost dropped the skewer in her hand.

While grinding her teeth, Shang Qinqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

She adopted a hesitant expression, her tone conveying a sense of "I don't want to say it, but I have to tell you":

"After all, he snatched food from the jaws of the Demonic Sect..."

Ying Bing was taken aback, and her beautiful face finally changed.

Yes, Li Mo went to collect the Power of All Living Beings, and the Power of All Living Beings in the Southern Border has always been secretly controlled by the Demon Summoning Cult Sect.

The Demon Summoning Cult is very ancient and has many powerful backers, as evidenced by the fact that even a small faction like the Hundred Beast Hall can stir up trouble in the Southern Border.

Among the Nine Heavens, who were known as the strongest beings in the previous life, there were also beings with a vague connection to them.

If they see Li Mo as a thorn in their side...

Ying Bing stood up abruptly.

"How is he now? Where is he?"

"Hmph, see what I told you."

Shang Qinqing sighed:

"Go pack your things and come back to the Green Phoenix Territory with me. You'll see. I've worked so hard and made so many contributions, and I can't even have a skewer of barbecue. Really..."

But she didn't even finish her sentence.

Ying Bing had already lifted her skirt and gone upstairs to the second floor, pushing open the door to the private room.

Moment.

Her eyes, which held a hint of Sha Qi yet seemed unfocused, paused, staring blankly at everything in the room.

The serene look in her eyes was illuminated by a few faint candlelight sticking out of the cake, and a person was standing beside the cake.

"You... are not..."

Happy birthday! Surprised? Unexpected?

Li Mo laughed heartily.

After a moment of surprise, Ying Bing looked at him with a deep gaze:

When did you get back?

"Just now, I had Clan Leader Shang call you up."

Li Mo beckoned her over to blow out the candles, but noticed that Ice Block's expression was a little off, and her chest was heaving.

The instigator, Ms. Shang, also quietly followed along. She had originally hoped to find something sweet, but upon closer inspection, she realized that it wasn't quite what she had expected.

Broken...

She only made the decision on a whim.

Won't this backfire?

"Hey, Li Mo, you're really something. If you're going to give a surprise, then give a surprise. If it's a birthday, then celebrate a birthday. Why do you have to make me help you fool Little Bing? That's a bit much."

Shang Qinqing became serious.

Li Mo: "???"

"Should we blow out this candle?" Ying Bing asked, looking at the cake on the table.

"That's right, you can make a wish before blowing it."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and gently blew a breath.

Call--

It wasn't destroyed.

These damn candles are surprisingly good quality; they were all extinguished, but as soon as the wind blew in from the window, they struggled to reignite.

Don't get angry at a time like this!

"Ice Block, you didn't make some kind of outrageous wish, did you?"

Little Li asked blankly.

I wish you would never lie to me again.

Ying Bing looked at him with a deep, unsettling gaze.

"..."

Li Mo was somewhat wronged, not knowing what Shang Qinqing had just said to Ice Block:

"Maybe it's because my yang energy is particularly strong lately; even the candles I lit are burning so brightly. Try again..."

This time the candle finally went out.

"What was promised this time...?"

"Call me 'sister'."

"You'll only tell me if I call you 'sister'? Um... actually, if you tell me your wish, it won't come true. It's okay if you don't tell me."

Li Mo smacked his lips, the hardest part of his body.

Actually, I don't really want to know either. Besides, you're only two months older than me, you really...

"My wish is to be called 'older sister'," Ying Bing said quietly.

Li, whose mouth was harder than a hammer, was startled.

I couldn't hold back this time; my mouth immediately had its own ideas and surrendered shamefully.

"... Sister... Big sister."

Be good from now on.

Ying Bing raised her face and tied up her loose black hair.

"Try it! I made it in my Pill Furnace; it should taste pretty good."

Li Mo brandished the Crimson Firmament Sword, seemingly preparing to slice it in half.

The picture on the cake depicts a girl reading a book under a tree, while a boy watches her.

But at this very moment...

A slender finger quickly touched the edge of the cake and smeared cream on his face.

"???"

Little Li was itchy, turned his head and only then saw clearly.

The Ice Block's eyes, which hadn't been grinning just moments before, clearly held a hint of pleasure.

She was probably genuinely anxious at first, but that changed when she saw herself, at least not when she blew out the candles.

She was actually very happy to see herself.

But she also wanted to hear herself call her "older sister," so...

Hiss!!

"Ice Block, did you do this on purpose?"

Li Mo felt that this guess was most likely true.

"What do you mean, intentional?"

Ying Bing frowned slightly, maintaining her cool and serious demeanor with great seriousness.

"Okay, it's your birthday today, so you're the boss."

Leonardo DiCaprio, who won Best Actor, suspects that the Best Actress's performance was the one that deserves credit, but he has no evidence.

Wrong.

He has evidence!

Li Mo discovered that a soft, fragrant little hand had appeared in his palm without him noticing!

When did you put them on leash?!

"..."

Ying Bing was cutting the cake, was also momentarily bewildered.

She didn't realize when she had offered her hand.

He didn't even know if she handed it to him, or if he caught it at some point in time.

"Hey, this tastes more like it! By the way, what does this cake taste like? It smells amazing. I'll try some too, and see if it's as sweet as you two."

Shang Qinqing shuddered. If she didn't eat some cake to calm herself down, she was afraid she would roll around on the floor in a rage.
