Chapter: 810 (2/2)

Tonight was New Year’s eve. The Qing Clan had prepared a grand feast for dinner during the evening. Everyone from the Qing Clan was gathered together, including Di Qing though she felt a little uncomfortable.

This world was different than his previous world. There was less entertainment here, so it was very lively outside on New Year’s Eve night. There were no Spring Festival Galas here but there were fireworks filling the sky. This could also be considered an impressive sight. On this night, many places would have fireworks lighting up the sky. Brilliant fireworks that were picturesque.

After dinner, everyone went out in a hurry. The sky turned dark earlier during winter. The light stones outside were glowing faintly. The moon in the sky was bright and the sky was filled with stars, just like in the fairytales.

Xiuuuu!

Xiu xiu……

Trails of light suddenly shot up into the sky and then exploded. No one realized when the fireworks started but the sky was very quickly filled with the exploding fireworks.

The Qing Clan’s people weren’t slow either. Qing You, Qing Hu, Qing Shan and Qing Shi started to light up the fireworks too. Within an instant, the fireworks continuously soared into the sky with Qing Zun, Qing Yin and Qing Zhi’s children excited cheers.

Qing Ming and Qing Yan stayed in the bedroom because they were too young and they might be frightened. Fortunately the bedrooms here were well soundproofed. Despite the endless noises outside, it was extremely quiet inside the room.

Qing Shui looked at the smiling faces of his family members around him and the few women by his side who were still as beautiful as always. He felt the small happiness in his heart. It was another year of brilliant fireworks with beauties around him.

It was a pity that Di Chen wasn’t around around. The smiles among the fireworks were bright. Qing Shui lifted his head to look at the vast starry sky. All of a sudden, he felt a little lost about the direction of his life.

This vast starry sky stretched on endlessly. Just what was breaking through the void? Were there any cultivators of False God and Divine grades in the World of the Nine Continents? What was on the other side of the Southern Sea and Eastern Sea?

He looked at the people around him and all of a sudden, he had the thought to cease moving forward. He shook his head. It was still too early for him to be content. Yiye Jiange’s problem wasn’t resolved yet and he hadn’t satisfied his curiosity towards the World of the Nine Continents either. God had given him this chance, so he must cherish this opportunity.

Then there was the third Treasure Map. Just what kind of a place was that otherworldly paradise depicted on it? There were nine continents and he wasn’t even done with exploring three yet. He then remembered about Eastern Victory Divine Continent. That was the continent with the most eccentric people among all the nine continents, so Qing Shui decided to make for the Eastern Victory Divine Continent via the Central Continent some time in the future.

Di Qing turned her head to the side and glanced at the man who was watching the fireworks.She only realized at this moment that Qing Shui looked like someone who had been through the vicissitudes of life. He looked a little unruly and had a deep nostalgic expression on his face. At this exact moment, he was giving off the impression of a great imposing mountain. She was kind of infatuated with that figure that was not too tall yet standing straight in between Heaven and Earth. Not only that, she was also infatuated with that enchanting and earnestly handsome face of his.

“Qing Shui, do you think my wish will come true if I wished upon the fireworks?” She asked Qing Shui at this moment.

Qing Shui was startled as he looked away and laughed. “Miss Qing believes in this too?”

“I do, you don’t?” Di Qing asked softly.

“I’ve never tried it and neither have I thought of believing it or not.” Qing Shui was telling the truth. He had never made any wish so he had never thought about whether he believed in it or not.

“If you have never tried it, that means you don’t believe in it.” Di Qing pointed out to Qing Shui.

“Then have you tried it before?” Qing Shui asked her with a smile.

“Yes, I did.”

“Did it come true?”

“No.”

“Then why do you continue believing in it?” Qing Shui continued to ask.

“Because I hope that my wish will come true. That’s why I believe in it.” Di Qing raised her head to look at the gorgeous fireworks that decorated the whole sky. She then slowly shut her beautiful eyes.

Qing Shui was tactful enough to stop questioning further. Just then, Huoyun Liu-Li came over and laughed, “Qing Shui, I made a wish. Guess what I wished for?”

“You can’t talk about your wishes. Otherwise it will not come true.” Qing Shui laughed.

……….

New Year had passed very quickly!

“Qing Shui, accompany me home?” Huoyun Liu-Li asked Qing Shui after New Year had passed.

Qing Shui was startled before he apologetically looked at Huoyun Liu-Li. They had returned for half a month yet the thought of accompanying her home never crossed his mind. Now that he thought about it, everything about her home was unfamiliar to him.

“Sure. Are your parents still well?” Qing Shui remembered about that uncle who was a blacksmith.

“Hehe, I don’t have any parents.” Huoyun Liu-Li chuckled.

Although she was laughing, she seemed to be slightly at loss.

“What about that Huoyun Blacksmith Store?” Qing Shui was startled. He had never really asked her about this because that was her home, so naturally her parents would be there. He had always assumed that the uncle there was Huoyun Liu-Li’s father and felt happy for that uncle for having such a beautiful and refined daughter.
