The Mortal Realm was quiet. A hint of white appeared in the night sky beyond the window as light snow began to fall. Snowflakes drifted down from high above, carrying away the dust that filled the air. The smog receded, revealing the bright moonlight, and everything seemed especially peaceful.
Only a handful of people could be seen on the quiet streets. With the temperature dropping, everyone had willingly stayed home. Families chatted and watched television, forgetting without realizing it that winter had arrived outside their rooms. A warmth had filled their hearts-the warmth of home!
The Heavenly Court was much the same. The Heavenly Dao had erased everyone's memories of Hongjun's demonic fall. No one knew what had just happened, or even that the Great Dao had appeared. Everything returned to its proper course.
Both the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Immortal Realm remained full of festive cheer. All living beings believed that Chiyou's Heaven and Earth Calamity had passed, and their hearts were at ease.
Everywhere, lanterns and decorations went up, along with spring couplets and paper window cutouts. Now and then, children could be seen carrying all sorts of puppets and toys, running wild through fields, along ridges, and down alleyways.
An indescribable atmosphere grew stronger and stronger, a special feeling that only the people of Yan-Huang understood. The feeling of New Year!
When Big Chef woke, he sensed a little light through his eyelids. He slowly opened his eyes and sat halfway up. Looking at the wreckage of the hotel room, he smiled speechlessly.
I guess I'm not a rookie anymore!
Turning around, he saw that person lying on her side beside him, hugging the covers.
"Get up. We're going to see my parents today and get ready for New Year!" Qin Fen gave her a shove.
