Chapter 107 Jiangcheng 40 Some things are better known later
"Host, today is your birthday."
Wen Li casually replied, "Mm."
Anyway, she hasn't celebrated her birthday since Jiang Yanhong left.
However, she didn't care. There were plenty of people in the world who had never celebrated their birthdays. In any case, all she ever received on her birthday was the kind of food Jiang Yanhong made that was practically poisonous.
Upon hearing this news, Si Xiaxia exclaimed anxiously, "Host, you didn't even tell me! I have to sing you a birthday song to celebrate! Happy birthday, happy birthday..."
Si Xiaxia's singing was really not very pleasant, and Wen Li frowned impatiently.
"Si Xiaxia, shut up."
When Wen Li spoke, Si Xiaxia could only obediently shut up.
Wen Li looked down and examined the item in her hand closely. It was a bracelet covered with bells and a small flower on it.
Wen Li held it in her hand and examined it closely. She pressed down on the petals, and the bracelet separated, instantly transforming into a straight long sword.
"Wow! That's amazing, host! This knife is so beautiful!"
Wen Li gripped her broadsword and swung it forward gently, causing the large tree in front of her to crash to the ground.
"Of course it's beautiful. This knife looks like it's at least a thousand-year-old magical artifact."
The blade is very long, about as tall as Wen Li, with a snow-white and sharp edge. The key is the spiritual energy emanating from the blade.
With a gentle twist of her wrist, Wen Li transformed the knife back into a bracelet and returned to her hand.
Si Xiaxia now truly saw hope in completing her mission, and she was completely immersed in joy.
It seems that being bound to Wen Li was not an accident; it was absolutely destined!
"Look, host, he gave you such an expensive gift, and he just confessed his feelings. He must be head over heels for you! This is wonderful, there's hope for the world!"
"Do you like it?" Wen Li touched the bracelet and walked back.
Wen Li didn't know if this world was salvageable. But the feeling of being liked was quite nice.
The city is too beautiful tonight, and the lights are too dazzling. The river lanterns all over the city can still be seen by others.
People walked out of their homes on the street, excitedly sharing the beautiful scenery with their families.
"Mom, come out quickly! There are so many river lanterns outside!"
"Who's releasing river lanterns? The Thousand Lantern Festival is already over."
"Sigh! All the rivers in Jiangcheng are full! There are more than during the Lantern Festival!"
"These river lanterns are so beautiful! I've never seen so many of the styles before!"
"It's so beautiful! Who put it there?"
……
The once quiet streets gradually became lively. Even long afterward, the sight of the river lanterns, released by who knows who, still evoked much discussion and contemplation.
River lanterns, drifting from who-knows-where, and lantern-lighters who leave no name, are shrouded in mystery and fuel people's imaginations.

In the past few days, Wen Mingzhu has gone to see Shen Yingsi less often, and she hasn't mentioned him as much as before.
Therefore, Zhao Sicheng has been in high spirits for the past few days. He has collected many things that girls like and is preparing to give them all to Wen Mingzhu when the opportunity arises.
Zhao Sicheng slowly opened his eyes, looking somewhat confused at the pile of items that girls liked in front of him.
How did I fall asleep so quickly?
He was a little annoyed. He stood up, stretched, and continued fiddling with the items on the table, carefully selecting what to bring. Mingzhu was very picky; he couldn't bring anything that wasn't good to her.
"Si Cheng, your second uncle needs to speak with you."
The door suddenly creaked open, and Zhao Wenbai's voice came from outside. Zhao Sicheng quickly put the things on the table into his Qiankun bag.
"Come in, Second Uncle."
The door opened, and Zhao Wenbai rushed in, but seeing Zhao Sicheng's clueless gaze, he couldn't explain the situation for a long time.
"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"
"What's wrong, Second Uncle? What's wrong?"
Zhao Wenbai was anxiously pacing around the room. He glanced at Zhao Sicheng, then sighed deeply before speaking, and paced back and forth anxiously.
"Sigh, anyway, it's not good!"
Seeing Zhao Wenbai pacing back and forth while sighing, Zhao Sicheng himself became anxious.
"What exactly happened? If you don't tell me soon, I'm not going to listen."
Our family heirloom is gone!
Hearing this, Zhao Sicheng relaxed and jokingly asked, "Does our family have such a thing as a family heirloom?"
"Of course! Our Zhao family is a very large family!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Zhao Sicheng said this, but he didn't really believe it. What treasures could his family have besides money?
"What is that family heirloom? Second Uncle, why didn't you send someone to look for it? What are you doing in my room?"
Search? Zhao Wenbai was on the verge of tears. Could they really search for such a demonic creature so openly?
If other people knew that they had something like this hidden in their house, that would be terrible!
Could it be that those monsters secretly stole it? If it really is them, then they'll just have to swallow their anger.
Zhao Wenbai's sudden silence left Zhao Sicheng somewhat bewildered. Just as he was about to stand up, Zhao Wenbai suddenly pressed him down.
"Si Cheng, listen to me! This matter concerns the survival of our entire Zhao family. Our family, in fact, in fact..."
Zhao Wenbai gripped Zhao Sicheng's shoulder, looking at the boy's oblivious face, his mouth agape as if to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Zhao Sicheng blinked and waited for a long time, only to see Zhao Wenbai suddenly sit down on the ground, slapping his thigh and crying out, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy!"
Zhao Sicheng tried to help the man up, but Zhao Wenbai stopped him. He stood up on his own and walked to the door.
"Si Cheng, just pretend your second uncle never came today. You should get some rest."
Zhao Sicheng stared at Zhao Wenbai's retreating figure, completely bewildered: "Second Uncle, what exactly are you trying to tell me?"
"There are some things you'll find out sooner or later, but your second uncle still hopes you'll find out later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left.
It was rare for Zhao Wenbai to say something so profound, and Zhao Sicheng thought that his second uncle might have gone crazy today.
He turned around and took out the items again, starting to compare them one by one.
I wonder which one Mingzhu will like.
Before he could even make a choice, someone knocked on the door again.
Zhao Sicheng glanced at the jewelry and toys on the table, but reluctantly put them away and got up to open the door.
"What's wrong now, Second Uncle?"
Unexpectedly, it wasn't Zhao Wenbai standing outside the door, but Wen Li.
Zhao Sicheng quickly closed the door, leaving only his head sticking out.
What a joke! He's only wearing a thin undergarment now.
"What, it's you? Wen Li, do you even know what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame are? What are you trying to do in the middle of the night? Let me tell you, this young master will not yield to you."
Wen Li was already a little sleepy and was very impatient. When she heard Zhao Sicheng's words, she casually slapped him hard on the head.
After finishing the sentence, he turned and left.
"Send someone to find me a place called Peach Blossom Lane tomorrow."
"Wen Li, do you take me for your subordinate? If you want to find someone, go find them yourself. My family is very busy lately!"
Zhao Sicheng strained to stick his neck out from the crack in the door, his heart filled with rage. Being beaten was bad enough, but to be ordered around after being beaten was even worse!
In Zhao Sicheng's courtyard, there was a pond with lush lotus leaves. Wen Li flew over the pond and glanced at the trees beside it.
"Fine, I won't go looking for her. Then I'll find Wen Mingzhu tomorrow for a friendly match."
The night was very dark. Wen Li flew over the pond and took a few steps before disappearing into the darkness.
In the darkness, many things were unclear, but just across the pond, Wen Li clearly saw Zhao Wenbai whispering to his subordinates.
What are they looking for? They've lost something, but they don't dare to search openly; instead, they're doing it stealthily.
Logically, what they were looking for should be the same one that Shen Yingsi was holding.
A treasure that can plunge the entire city into a deep sleep.
