Xiao Mo asked, "What does a Kongming Lantern symbolize?"
That was something Xiao Mo genuinely wanted to ask Wang Miaojun.
"A beautiful life, a happy life."
Wang Miaojun said to Xiao Mo.
"Isn't making life more beautiful the very reason we release Kongming Lanterns?"
Wang Miaojun looked into Xiao Mo's eyes as she spoke.
"I'm afraid Kongming Lanterns can't grant us a happy life."
Wang Miaojun grew interested. On the top floor of the restaurant, she asked Xiao Mo a question.
"Then how do you think we can obtain a happy life?"
Xiao Mo said, "I think it can only be won through conquest and strategy."

"We must reach the Central Plains Continent."
"I believe that day will come eventually, too."

Wang Miaojun smiled. "Aren't you fulfilling the Kongming Lantern's cherished wish right now?"
"Kongming Lanterns symbolize happiness and beauty."

Wang Miaojun instantly understood what he meant.
On the restaurant's top floor, Wang Miaojun nestled into Xiao Mo's arms.
