Free Web NovelIn the Li Manor, in the God Hammer Little Overlord’s room, Li Mo, who was celebrating his birthday, sat on the bed, looking at the opened box.
After the Awakening of the Fetal Mystery, those dusty memories surged, each one as vivid as if it had happened yesterday.
There were exactly seventeen, one for each year.
“Ice Cube...”
Li Mo looked up blankly.
The fireworks on the snowy night illuminated her red dress, and that slightly crooked white cat fur hat, her slender legs wrapped in white silk stockings, and snowflakes adorned the blue silk tied with a jade hairpin.
Christmas has Santa Claus.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have their own New Year Goddess.
And she suddenly appeared by your side, bringing you a birthday surprise.
Xiao Li felt «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» just like that now.
“When I was cleaning the room, I happened to find these; it seems... they’re yours.”
Ying Bing lowered her eyes and sat beside him.
“......”
Li Mo glanced at the pacifier in the box.
No matter how much of a Devil King he was in his infancy, he couldn’t have run to the street to buy this right after birth, could he?
“Then perhaps my New Year Fairy sent them.”
Li Mo put down the pacifier and picked up a jade pendant, on which white jade bamboo segments were carved.
It symbolized a boy growing up, able to wear beautiful jade like a gentleman.
When he was out shopping with Ice Cube, he found it exquisite, but unfortunately, after haggling for a long time and even resorting to the ‘walk away if you don’t sell’ tactic, he still couldn’t get it. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Ice Cube actually went back and bought it.
“As long as you like it...”
Seeing him happily put on the jade pendant, Ying Bing gently took off her shoes and also sat on the bed, her small feet wrapped in silk stockings, casually crossed to one side.
While brewing tea, she covertly observed him.
Suddenly, the tea in the teacup rippled slightly, her eyes froze, and she bit her lips, pulling her feet back.
“This wooden sword is really beautiful. If I had one when I was little, I would have made other children envious.”
Li Mo held the small wooden sword in his left hand, looking serious.
Yes, Little Li had a swordsman dream since he was a child!
“Are they all to your liking?”
Ying Bing looked indifferently at the fireworks outside the window, her serene eyes shining brightly in the light.
Li Mo hugged the box and said earnestly, “Yes, but they cater to the preferences of different ages.”
“Then what is most to your liking now?”
“That would naturally still be jade...”
Li Mo was originally debating whether it was the jade pendant or the wooden sword.
But his eyes seemed to have a mind of their own, looking at that hint of white to the side, the slender and delicate small feet in the silk stockings.
“.....”
Ice Cube’s complexion had always been very fair, but now it suddenly became different from the white cat fur hat; the color difference suddenly became obvious.
It is well known.
Jade is a synonym for nobility.
Bamboo symbolizes unyielding integrity.
When the words jade and bamboo are combined, it means that jade can be destroyed but its purity cannot be changed, and bamboo can be burned but its integrity cannot be destroyed; it has always been favored by upright gentlemen.
It is also well known that Xiao Li is a super upright gentleman.
Gentlemen like jade and bamboo √
Li Mo is an upright gentleman √.
So Li Mo just has an elegant aspiration of a gentleman, what did he do wrong?
Moreover, Ice Cube herself had taken off her shoes, her legs crossed and laid out there, her icy skin and jade bones bathed in the red glow of the fireworks.
Perhaps she didn’t know.
The budding orchid in the secluded valley is enough to make all the beauties on the Baihua List pale in comparison.
In this situation.
Li Mo felt that even if he were a peerless Sword Immortal or a Sword God of this era, the hand holding the wooden sword would tremble slightly, let alone he was only a little short of becoming a Horizontal Cloud Sword Hero.
Moreover, no swordsman like him is also proficient in foot massage...
“Ice Cube, it’s my birthday today, and the sixteen gifts you gave me are the best. The last one...”
“But... I haven’t washed today.”
“How can you doubt yourself like that? Han Xianzi is untainted by dust; bathing is just a hobby.”
“......”
“How about this, I have a bathtub in my room...”
The gentleman Xiao Li stroked his chin, as if he were doing something serious and important.
Han Xianzi gave him a faint glance, biting her lip with her pearly teeth, and silently changed her posture, moving both legs to his side.
If he continued, she might end up bathing in his room.
“Ice Cube, this is the happiest birthday I’ve ever had.”
“Don’t make it a habit...”
Ice Cube was actually used to him massaging her feet; the main thing was that Xiao Li, relying on it being his birthday, was a bit too arrogant today.
He didn’t even spare her calves.
Ying Bing took out the money jar from the boy with a large head, originally intending to count the money.
Then she found out.
The jar was empty.
She almost forgot, she was in a hurry to buy things today and didn’t haggle; whatever the price was, she paid it.
Unable to distract herself by counting money, her thoughts, like the fireworks outside, exploded one by one, brilliantly, making her heart ripple with light.
Xiao Li was a Devil King in his infancy.
It turned out that he hadn’t become well-behaved even after growing up.
Do men become worse as they grow older?
What about next year...
An hour later, the sound of fireworks outside gradually thinned, leaving only the night sky blurred by the fireworks. New Year’s Eve was over, and Li Mo’s birthday was also over.
“Let’s start Dual Cultivation; I’m about to break through.”
Li Mo, who had become a little worse at seventeen, decided to get down to business.
Anyway, he had long mastered the secret of Dual Cultivation.
“I’m going back to my room.”
Ying Bing gently pulled her small feet back, hugged her legs, and looked at him warily.
“Aren’t you going to practice today?”
“But when I came, I met Uncle and Aunt at your door.”
Ying Bing said with a cold expression.
Li Mo: “......”
Given his past record, his father would pass by here when going to the latrine at night and would pay special attention.
Moreover, tomorrow is the first day of the New Year, and he still has to go with his parents to the Ying Family Old Residence to offer incense.
After that, he would have to go to Lanke Mountain.
“Alright then.”
“I’m going back.”
Ying Bing put on her boots and got up to leave.
With a poker face and a cold demeanor, she stumbled at the door, perhaps because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were a bit numb...
The next morning.
Before relatives and friends arrived, his father and mother had already gotten up early, brought the prepared items, and called Li Mo.
After New Year’s Eve, the bustle of Qinghe County did not diminish, and the festive atmosphere grew stronger; perhaps tomorrow would be even livelier.
In front of the Li Manor, there was a ground full of firecracker papers and accumulated snow. Everyone was ready to depart. Li Dalong put some incense and candles into Li Mo’s hand.
“In the past, I didn’t take you to offer incense because you were still young. Now you are a man, and you will have to attend all future worships. No matter how high you fly in the future, don’t forget to come to the Ying Family Old Residence to offer a stick of incense during the New Year.”
His father patted his shoulder and went ahead.
Li Mo held the incense and candles, looking at Ying Bing beside him:
“Ice Cube, are you coming too?”
“Okay.”
Ying Bing looked towards the direction of the Old Residence.
That place was no longer the shadow of her childhood.
However, although the shadow was gone, the heavy fog had not yet dissipated.
Li Mo and Ice Cube thought of the same thing.
Why did the Ying Family attract that Black Nian Beast?
What did this have to do with Ice Cube?
These questions couldn’t be answered by just one trip to the Old Residence; perhaps they would also need to go to Lanke Mountain to find the answers.
