Beneath the pavilion, four exceptionally beautiful women sat around a stone table, chatting softly. A gentle breeze brought a Human Heart coolness to the otherwise sweltering weather. They smiled and nodded intermittently, sharing amusing anecdotes from the past and present.
Su Chen lay lazily in the rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, his expression relaxed, one hand casually resting on the armrest, quietly enjoying the cool breeze.
Ye Lingxi sat quietly on the stone bench, her two fair hands gently resting on the stone table, her head nestled softly in her palms. A few strands of silky hair slid down naturally, swaying gently against her cheeks. Looking at Xiao Yue'er sitting opposite her, she asked, " Yue'er, is tomorrow's Fireworks Festival really as beautiful as you say?"
Xiao Yue'er smiled and replied, "Yes, how should I put it? The Fireworks Festival is a rather grand event in Illusion City, and it's also my favorite festival. Let me tell you, tomorrow's Fireworks Festival will definitely be an extremely spectacular feast, countless times more beautiful than any previous Fireworks Festival."
Her eyes sparkled, and suddenly a hint of anticipation appeared on her face.
"Huh?"
Ye Lingxi let out a soft "hmm" and asked in confusion, "Why is this year's Fireworks Festival even more beautiful than before?"
Xiao Yue'er explained, "Because this Fireworks Festival Fireworks Festival personally planned by those senior Immortal Emperor in the city, it's bound to be extraordinary. It's something to look forward to. Actually, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, those senior Immortal Emperor wouldn't have had the time to plan this Fireworks Festival."
Ye Lingxi blinked. "What does this have to do with us?"
Xiao Yue'er didn't speak, but glanced at Su Chen, who was lying in a rocking chair sunbathing, out of the corner of her eye.
Ye Lingxi followed Xiao Yue'er's gaze, and her initial confusion vanished instantly. So those Immortal Emperor in the city had personally planned this Fireworks Festival because of her brother! Heh heh, well, only her brother could command such attention from the Immortal Emperor.
Su Chen seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, turned his head to look, and smiled slightly. This smile was like a gentle spring breeze.
A Hong Yun instantly spread across Xiao Yue'er's face. She quickly turned her head away, not daring to meet Su Chen's gaze again. She covered her wildly beating heart with her left hand, her expression shy, inwardly cursing herself for being so weak.
Ye Lingxi remained calm, a smile also appearing on her face, and softly called out, "Brother."
Su Chen smiled and nodded, asking softly, "What's wrong?"
Ye Lingxi asked, "Will you come with us to watch the fireworks tomorrow?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "I didn't want to go originally, but since Lingxi said so, I definitely have to go and see."
Ye Lingxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up, ran to Su Chen Su Chen, and then, disregarding the stares of others, threw herself into his arms, exclaiming, "Brother is so good to me!"
Su Chen reached out his right hand and gently stroked Ye Lingxi's head, saying softly, "Silly girl, how many times have I told you, you're my sister. If I'm not good to you, who will?"
Ye Lingxi looked up at Su Chen's face, chuckled, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
The three women under the pavilion couldn't help but smile as they watched this scene.
Xiao Yue'er looked on with envy, " Young Master Su really dotes on Miss Lingxi."
Xiao Ziyan nodded. "Yes, to be honest, Miss Lingxi is really lucky to have met a brother like Young Master Su."
Xiao Yue'er said dejectedly, "Sigh, if only I had a brother like that."
As if remembering something, she quickly shook her head, "No, no, that would prevent me from falling in love with him."
Her gaze fell on Su Chen and Ye Lingxi, and she sighed, "It's so good that they're not blood-related siblings."
Ye Lingxi left Su Chen's embrace and returned to the pavilion. Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Ziyan continued chatting for about an hour before leaving the courtyard.
On the way, Xiao Yue'er suddenly asked, "Sister, do you think we have a chance?"
Xiao Ziyan smiled slightly, glanced at her, and shook her head, saying, "I doubt there's a chance."
A touch of sadness appeared in Xiao Yue'er's eyes. "I also feel that there's no chance anymore. Young Master Su will probably leave Illusion City after the Fireworks Festival tomorrow. I heard from Lingxi that he seems to be going to do something. I asked her, but she didn't tell me. But that's not the key point. The key point is that once Young Master Su leaves, I don't know if I'll ever see him again."
She spoke sadly, but then she saw the smile on Xiao Ziyan's face, which made her frown. "You can still smile? Do you know that once Young Master Su leaves, we'll have absolutely no chance?"
Xiao Ziyan's smile didn't fade. "If there's no chance, there's no chance. Take it easy."
Xiao Yue'er frowned, "You don't like Young Master Su?"
Xiao Ziyan thought for a moment, and finally said, "I like you, but not to the point where I'm completely devoted to you."
Xiao Yue'er rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
Xiao Ziyan looked at Xiao Yue'er and smiled, "Tomorrow is the Fireworks Festival. What are your plans? This might be your last chance."
"Sigh~"
Xiao Yue'er sighed deeply, "What can I do? I don't know what to do either."
Xiao Ziyan said, "In this complex world, love is often not something that can be easily obtained through deliberate pursuit. Fate is a wondrous thing; it cannot be predicted or forced. Perhaps at some point in the future, or because of some event, you and Young Master Su will become a couple? Even if you don't, it just means you two are not destined to be together. If you are not destined to be together, there's no need to force it. If you insist on forcing it, you will only end up getting hurt. So, you don't need to be anxious or impatient; just let fate take its course."
The woman stood there, head bowed, silent for a long time. Finally, she seemed to have come to a realization. She looked up at Xiao Ziyan, a smile on her face. "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, sister."
Xiao Ziyan smiled and shook her head. "Alright, it's getting dark, let's go back."
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Yue'er nodded, took Xiao Ziyan's hand, and ran towards the City Lord's Manor. She seemed to be in a good mood and had indeed come to terms with things.
Dragon Clan.
At this moment, a tense yet solemn atmosphere permeated the entire Dragon Clan territory. Countless tall and mighty dragons were lined up neatly, among which the most eye-catching were the thousands of Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
These thousands of Five-Clawed Golden Dragon were dazzling and seemed to illuminate the entire world. Each Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had scales like golden armor, as if they contained endless power. Their five claws were as sharp as blades, and when they were slightly bent, they seemed to be able to tear through the void. Moreover, their bodies were several times larger than those of ordinary dragons, and they stretched out as if they could cross mountains and rivers.
