On the other side, Lin Huan and Xiao sat quietly at the table, looking at the gradually darkening sky with Immortal Ping. They watched the people on the other side of the harbor running back and forth busily, making various preparations for the night meeting. It was a noisy and happy scene.

Xiao suddenly spoke calmly, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes, "According to today's situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Wangshu Inn tonight."

Lin Huan smiled, turned his head and looked over, saying in a light tone, "Indeed, it is a bit regrettable... But, I originally wanted to spend the New Year with you."

Xiao replied calmly, "So, it doesn't count as a breach of promise, right?"

He paused, and then said, "In fact, our goal has been achieved."

"Hmm... Xiao." Lin Huan said softly, "Thank you... for staying with us for so long. In the end, you stayed in the human world for almost a day..."

"It's okay. I was planning to go into the city today, so I took medicine before coming. It's okay, don't worry." Xiao shook his head and said softly.

At this time, Grandma Ping quietly joined the topic.

"Xiao, is the new medicine you recently changed effective?"

"The attacks are not as frequent as before, nor as severe as before. But the karma can only be suppressed, and there is no sign of it being reduced." Xiao said lightly, "Ping, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

"Alas..." Immortal Ping sighed heavily and nodded slowly, "I understand, I understand...but your condition is really..."

"I know, but that is my duty, and I have no choice but to do it." Xiao's expression was calm and composed, as if he was just stating something surprisingly ordinary.

Immortal Ping was silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry..."

Lin Huan then slowly spoke, "The top of Tianheng Mountain is high and you can see far. If you..."

"It doesn't matter. I'll leave after I'm done. I won't stay." Xiao said calmly, "After all, I don't belong to the human world."

Lin Huan took a breath, "Okay... The fireworks won't be set off too late, they'll start when it gets dark, and I'll be able to accompany you back after they're done. This way... there'll be enough time for us to go back and forth."

Xiao raised his hand and touched Lin Huan's head. Feeling the fur on his palm, he rubbed it gently.

At this time, the door of the Yiyan Palace creaked and was slowly pushed open. Mr. Zhongli and the Ice Queen walked out one after the other and came over here.

Mr. Zhongli stopped beside Lin Huan and looked down at the woman who was sitting quietly at the table. But when she saw him coming, she looked up at him and smiled with dependence. Looking into those calm, stable and powerful eyes, his heart was also warm, and he spoke slowly.

"Okay, we can go now."

Lin Huan, Ganyu and Xiao stood up together.

"By the way, Ping, we're going to watch the fireworks. Are you coming too? Let's meet up with Xiao Huan's father, brother and sister-in-law."

"Emperor, I won't go. The view here is good. I can watch it here." Immortal Ping said with a smile.

Mr. Zhongli nodded, "Okay, see you later."

Several people said goodbye to each other and left in different directions. On the mountain road, Lin Huan heard the noise below, as if someone had already started setting off fireworks in advance, one after another blooming in the sky, turning the originally dark sky into a dazzling galaxy.

Following Mr. Zhongli, we walked down the mountain in silence until we reached the street.

There were crowds of people here, and although it was not yet completely dark, it was already very lively. She had sharp eyes and saw several smiling figures standing close together under the plaque of the Liuli Pavilion. Hu Xingzhi, who was carrying several bags in his hands, seemed to have seen them as well, and smiled happily and waved.

Lin Huan couldn't help but smile and waved at them, but then quickly restrained the expression on his face, turned to look at Mr. Zhongli, with his hands behind his back, looking eager to try.

"Why?" Mr. Zhongli raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you want to join in the fun?"

Lin Huan nodded, "I do."

"Go if you want. I'll follow you slowly."

Mr. Zhongli said. Lin Huan pursed his lips and smiled, then walked towards the crowd.

Fireworks lit up the night sky, blooming one after another in the sky, brilliant and colorful. A few people walked around and came to the second-floor corridor, where the view was excellent, and they could see the fireworks and the crowd clearly.

This is the last carnival of the year. When the fireworks go off, countless people cheer and jump for joy, just like in another world, people gather in front of the TV, reunite with their families, and share the joy of the hour.

In the bay, returning merchant ships were docked at the pier, the shore was crowded with people, the sails were hoisted high, rustling in the sea breeze, and flashing dazzlingly under the illumination of the brilliant fireworks.

Lin Huan looked up and saw a crescent moon hanging over the bay like a silver plate, with the Milky Way reflected around it, as if the vast ocean was coated with a layer of brilliant silver light. The waves gently hit the rocks, creating ripples. Someone was setting off fireworks by the bay, and the fireworks lit up the sky, then dissipated into the sea with the sea breeze.

She turned around, held the sleeve of the person standing behind her, and whispered as the grandest firework rose from the sea and lit up the night sky...

He had obviously heard it, and looked at himself with a deep and peaceful gleam in his eyes. He raised his head to look at the light streaming across the sky, watching them slide past his eyes and cut through the sky… He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around his somewhat cold palm, tightly, as if nothing could make him let go.

They stood at the railing, one in front and one behind, and watched together, until the night sky became completely dark, when there were no more stars and fireworks in the sky and everything was silent, before they finally turned around and left.
