Clan Leader Shang sat down with a smile, picking up a skewer.
“No.”
Seeing that Clan Leader Shang was alone, Ying Bing casually pursed her lips, as if nothing was amiss:
“He didn’t come back with you?”
“No, he still had some unfinished business.”
Clan Leader Shang shook her head.
Tsk, what did Xiao Mo say before? He said he would never trick her, and his expression was so resolute.
Then he turned around and told her it was for... a surprise, a white lie.
“Hmm...”
A delicate hand quietly pulled the plate of grilled skewers from in front of her.
“?”
Clan Leader Shang watched, momentarily speechless.
So, because I didn’t bring your Wang Qi Dou Hun back with me, I don’t even deserve to eat grilled skewers, huh?
“Admit it, you miss him.”
“So that’s it, it’s because Li Shaoxia has been gone for too long.”
The proprietress, being an experienced person, immediately understood the reason.
“...”
Ying Bing’s cheeks moved slightly, her Ice Cube face expressionless: “These grilled skewers smell quite good.”
“Little Ice, look at your boy with a large head, his head is almost bald from you pulling at it, all shiny and smooth.”
Clan Leader Shang said, unwilling to give up.
Ying Bing tilted her head.
The Ice Cube isn’t quite sure what you’re saying.jpg.
“By the way, Li Shaoxia has been gone for so long without a word. Could something have happened to him?” the proprietress pondered.
“!”
Ying Bing’s eyelashes trembled, almost dropping the skewer in her hand.
Clan Leader Shang, grinding her teeth, suddenly had an idea.
She put on a hesitant expression, a tone that implied, “Although I don’t want to say it, I have to tell you”:
“After all, he’s snatching food from the Demon Summoning Sect’s jaws...”
Ying Bing was startled, her beautiful face finally showing a change.
Right, Li Mo went to collect the power of all living beings, and the power of all living beings in the Southern Frontier has always been secretly controlled by the Demon Summoning Sect.
The Demon Summoning Sect is very ancient, with many hidden connections, which can be seen from how a single Hundred Beast Hall can cause trouble in the Southern Frontier.
Among the Nine Heavens, who were called the supreme Strong in the previous life, there were also those who had subtle ties to it.
If they consider Li Mo a thorn in their side...
Ying Bing abruptly stood up.
“How is he now? Where is he?”
“Hmph hmph, see? What did I tell you?”
Clan Leader Shang sighed:
“Go pack your things, and come with me to the Qingluan Clan, and you’ll know. I’ve worked so hard, and I’m not even allowed to eat a grilled skewer, truly...”
But she didn’t even finish her sentence.
Ying Bing had already lifted her skirt and gone upstairs, pushing open the door to the private room.
Instantly.
Her eyes, somewhat filled with Evil Qi yet unfocused, steadied and she looked at everything in the private room, a little stunned.
The faint light in her eyes was illuminated by three or two weak candle flames. The candles were placed on a cake, and a person stood beside the cake.
“You... aren’t...”
“Happy birthday! Surprised? Unexpected?”
Li Mo said with a hearty laugh.
After her initial shock, Ying Bing looked at him with deep eyes:
“When did you come back?”
“Just now! I asked Clan Leader Shang to call you up.”
Li Mo motioned for her to come over and blow out the candles, but then noticed that the Ice Cube’s expression was a bit off, her chest rising and falling slightly.
The instigator, Clan Leader Shang, also quietly followed, originally wanting some sweets, but upon seeing the scene, realized it was a bit different from what she expected.
Oh no...
She had only acted on a whim just now.
Could she have backfired?
“Ahem, Li Mo, you too. A surprise is a surprise, and a birthday is a birthday. Why did you make me help you trick Little Ice? That’s a bit too much, you know.”
Clan Leader Shang became serious.
Li Mo: “???”
“Do these candles need to be blown out?” Ying Bing looked at the cake on the table.
“That’s right, and you can make a wish before you blow them out.”
Ying Bing lowered her eyes and gently blew.
Whoosh—
They didn’t go out.
These damn candles were of surprisingly good quality; they had almost gone out, but a gust of wind from the window blew in, and they struggled back to life.
Don’t reignite at a time like this!
“Ice Cube, you didn’t make some outrageous wish, did you?”
Xiao Li said blankly.
“I wished you would never lie to me again.”
Ying Bing looked over with deep, serene eyes.
“...”
Li Mo felt somewhat wronged, not knowing what Clan Leader Shang had just told the Ice Cube:
“Perhaps my Yang Qi has been particularly strong lately, even the candles I lit are burning so stubbornly. Try again...”
This time, the candles finally went out.
“What did you wish for this time...?”
“Call me ‘Jiejie’.”
“You’ll only tell me if I call you ‘Jiejie’? Uh... actually, wishes don’t come true if you say them out loud, so it’s fine if you don’t tell me.”
Li Mo rubbed his hardest part, his mouth.
Actually, I don’t really want to know, and you’re only two months older than me, you really...
“The wish is for you to call me ‘Jiejie’.” Ying Bing said quietly.
Xiao Li, whose mouth was harder than a hammer, trembled.
He couldn’t hold it in this time, and his mouth immediately had its own ideas, giving in helplessly:
“...Jie... Jiejie.”
“Be good from now on.”
Ying Bing raised her face, tying up her loose black hair.
“Quick, try it. I made it in a Pill Furnace, so it should taste pretty good.”
Li Mo gestured with the Chixiao Sword, seemingly ready to cut it down the middle.
The picture on the cake was of a girl reading under a tree, and a boy watching her.
But at this very moment.
A slender finger quickly dipped into the edge of the cake, smearing cream on his face.
“????”
Xiao Li, whose philtrum was itching, turned his head and only then saw clearly.
There was clear delight hidden in the Ice Cube’s eyes, which had just been so unsmiling.
At first, she must have been genuinely anxious, but when she saw him, she wasn’t anymore, at least not when blowing out the candles.
She was actually very happy to see him.
But she also wanted to hear him call her ‘Jiejie’, so...
Hiss!!
“Ice Cube, were you doing that on purpose?”
Li Mo felt that this guess was very likely true.
“Doing what on purpose?”
Ying Bing’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, maintaining her cool and serious demeanor very earnestly.
“Alright, it’s your birthday today, so you’re the boss.”
The best actor, Xiao Li, suspected this was the best actress’s acting, but he had no evidence.
No.
He had evidence!
Li Mo discovered that a soft, warm, jade-like small hand had appeared in his palm at some point!
When did they hold hands?!
“...”
Ying Bing, who was cutting the cake, was also momentarily confused. freewёbnoνel.com
She didn’t ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) know when she had extended her hand.
She didn’t even know if she had extended it, or if he had grabbed it at some point.
“Heh heh, now this is the right flavor! By the way, what does this cake taste like? It smells so good. I’ll try some too, and see if it’s as sweet as you two.”
Clan Leader Shang shivered. If she didn’t eat some cake to calm herself down, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist rolling on the floor.
