them to return to their original place."A lotus transforming into a person… How many years has this mythical story about immortals been passed downBesides the venerated deities, who else could create...Epilogue 1: His Fireworks (Part 2)

The atmosphere was very strange. I rolled my eyes and took a look around. Old Chen and Da Bao had both gone to hide in the yard. On the first floor, there was just my dad, my brother, and Yan Qin.

Given Yixin's personality, she wouldn't argue with my older brother in front of our dad, would she

And how did the two of them argue With such high emotional intelligence, even huge issues could be resolved by each other.

"Dad, I'm back..." I decided to rescue my dad first.

My dad slammed the newspaper down with a loud sound and looked at me with an expression like the Red Army was uniting: "My darling Xiao Qiao, you're back! Dad missed you so much!"

"Hey, grandpa, your acting was too good! I just left after dinner yesterday."

He strode past the tea table toward me, reaching out to embrace me…in my arms was Younan.

Since the "returning soul" was hanging on Jiang Qiyun, my dad didn't dare to reach out and hug him directly.

Jiang Qiyun bent down and placed Yu Gui on the ground. Yu Gui swayed towards my brother.

Over a year old, she walks like a little crab.

But the expression was perfect! With big, glistening black eyes, he reached out to my brother with both hands, giving him a pleading hug-me look. He was babbling away in his own little language too.

My brother threw his phone, knelt on the ground and opened his hands saying: "Baby~~ Little sweetheart~~ Come to your uncle here~~"

I caught my gaze with Jiang Qi, he leaned against the armrest with his arms crossed, watching the child. I sidled up to Lin Yanqin's side.

"Yan Qin, what's wrong Your mouth could hang a oil bottle, did my brother bully you" I whispered.

Lin Yanqin looked at my brother and dad holding the child, the atmosphere had eased a lot. She whispered to me, "Xiao Qiao, Yun Fan's anger is really scary!"

What My brother is really angry

I tilted my head and thought about it, my brother has never been angry with me.

The only time he ever yelled at me was when the Shen family gave us a job involving a coffin. I guess what was inside was too terrifying, so he shouted at me to stay back. Apart from that, I've never seen him angry.

Anger is punishing yourself for other people's mistakes.

My brother, a person so intelligent and perceptive, how could he be angry And even be angry at Lin Yanqin

"...Why is my brother angry" I asked Lin Yanqin with a touch of excitement.

She pouted, her lips trembling: "Xiao Qiao, because everyone in your family practices Daoism and is more traditional, they've never celebrated foreign festivals before, so it's rare to have a Qixi Festival... This is the first Qixi Festival that Yunfan and I have spent together. So I took the liberty of arranging for our families to have dinner together, watch a fireworks display, and even had fireworks and lanterns prepared..."

I nodded, that's no problem at all.

She whispered, "But I forgot the location. I chose places that were crowded, and now I…"

She looked at her stomach somewhat helplessly.

Yan Qin is now showing a bit of pregnancy, her qipao reveals a slight bulge in her belly.

“So Yún Fàn said to cancel, he wasn't going. I was a little disappointed, so I asked him to go, but he refused. Dad came to persuade him and speak up for me, but he even yelled at us, leaving me feeling guilty.” Lín Yán Qìn whispered.

I rubbed my nose. It's normal for my brother to be angry.

“Yanqin, you got pregnant without discussing it with my brother first. Although he doesn't hold a grudge, because some things happened and your body suffered from exhaustion, look how worried my brother is What prenatal checkup wasn't he by your side for the whole time You should understand his feelings too, he's afraid if anything happens to you, it would be his fault.” I advised.

Lin Yanqin pursed her lips and nodded.

Look at this young lady, she looks so pitiful.

She has never been spoiled in our house, from beginning to end. Except for the first time she came to my house and was ignorant, being scolded by my brother, every other time she has been very polite and has never acted like a princess in front of us.

The only thing that makes her "spoiled" is that she really wants to stick with my brother.

Isn't it reasonable for someone to want to go out for a meal and watch fireworks on Qixi Festival

People outside are in pairs, snuggling up to each other. It's understandable that seeing this would stir up romantic feelings and make you want to join in the fun.

I turned to my brother and said, "What if we go watch the fireworks somewhere less crowded"

My brother looked at me speechless: "What day is it today Even countries with border disputes have retreated, you know It's because the whole social network is filled with 'hookups', 'wild battles', 'let's go', scaring the enemy spies silly, you know!"

... I don't know...

"Ahem, brother, don't joke around. Be serious... There will always be places with fewer people. Let's find a place that has less people, nice scenery, and we can see fireworks!" I said.

"Where are we even going to look It takes half an hour just to cross a single intersection outside right now! By the time we find somewhere less crowded, it'll be daylight!" My brother shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, that's exactly what happened. People came out to join the excitement, and the cars were completely jammed.

I helplessly looked at Jiang Qiyun, who glanced at me: "What are you looking at"

"Your Majesty, is there any good way to find a place with fewer people Perhaps ask the Land God to send someone to check which places have fewer people Ideally, it would be a place with mountains and water where you can also see fireworks."

"Xiaoqiao, your request is too contradictory." My brother chided.

Jiang Qiyund nodded and said, "Okay."

"You spoil her too much! The leader says a word, and the grassroots run around with their legs broken. It's not easy being a small errand boy either!" My brother glared at Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, she rarely makes a request... it’s just a small favor.”

He smiled at me, his form gradually fading away.

"Little Lady, this way please." The little demon attendant smiled and bowed to me.

My brother had a speechless expression, while Lin Yanqin had an expectant look on her face.

This is a "forbidden zone" near my house park. Because it's on the mountainside, it's shady and very humid, so the park management has closed this area off to visitors.

Far away, tourists strolled back and forth. We found a path here like thieves, ready to climb the mountain.

Along the way, red palace lanterns paired up and lit up one after another, illuminating the dark mountain path with a warm glow, carrying a touch of strange tenderness.

Fortunately, the mountains in the park weren't too high, so we reached the summit quickly.

There were still some couples and tourists on the summit, but we were separated from them by a fence.

Darkness hid behind the trees, and those people couldn't see us.

"Want to watch the fireworks here" I asked Jiang Qiyun.

He smiled faintly and said, "Just wait and see."

Perhaps the night wind softened everyone's hearts. My brother leaned against a tree, whispering to Lin Yanqin in a low voice.

Half of it is blaming her, half of it is pitying her.

These two are really... a match made in hell.

Jiang Qiyun pulled me to the edge of the cliff and whispered, "You always laugh at me for showing you lotus flowers in the blood pool. Today, we'll change the scenery."

As soon as his words left his mouth, a dazzling firework blossomed in the night sky.

The cheers of the tourists rose up, close yet distant.

They looked up at the sky, while we looked down at our feet.

Around the lake beside the small hill, a light suddenly flickered on and off.

As if the Milky Way had been suspended, and countless stars showered down upon the mortal realm.

Little by little, piece by piece... in the end, the entire lake surface was lit up with a dazzling glow.

The light reflected on the lake, dazzling the eyes, and finally slowly rising, gradually becoming bright—it was a cluster of lotus flowers shimmering with silver.

Some were as large as basins, others as small as cups, rising up from the lake in a flurry.

The whole sky seemed to be covered in starlight.

"Look! What are these They're so beautiful..."

"Whoa... so many... did some rich dude propose"

Gasps of amazement from the onlookers filled the air.

I pursed my lips and smiled at him: "Are you a rich person"

I have never seen the Emperor touch a single coin, not even spirit money.

"I'm not a rich man, but... I owe you a marriage proposal." He bowed slightly, his lips brushing against my corner.

"My little wife, if I had known you were so gentle and obedient, and such a good wife, I should have called upon the Matchmaker long ago, with three matchmakers and six witnesses, bringing gold and silver to ask for your hand in marriage. This way you wouldn't have been mistaken for someone else, and almost ended up in the hands of that Ghost King." he said with a smile.

Pfft...

My grandfather would have been so startled, his beard would have stood on end.

"Hmm... You... If you want to propose, perhaps wait till my next life I'll make up for everything that's missing!" I whispered.

Jiang Qiyun chuckled lightly and hummed, "Think beautifully, leaving me for a day or two is possible, but more than three days Want to be dragged back to the Pure Bliss Heaven...to be confined... "

I hugged him tightly, smiling. Let it be closed then.

Wherever you are, is my prison.d. Her little head bobbed like a chick pecking at grain.I lowered my head to look at Younan on my chest, who had already fallen asleep.It was my first time bringing my children back to my hometown, an...
