"Sir, what are you going to do with it next?"

"Leave it to me, you don't have to worry." Mr. Zhongli raised one hand and held up the black ball in his arms. "Go and accompany your friends and family with peace of mind, and return to the mortal world. This matter has come to an end, and how to deal with this dirty ball next is my business, you don't have to worry too much."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then." Lin Huan bowed to Mr. Zhongli, "Thank you, sir."

"Don't be so polite. This is my duty." Zhongli reached out his hand to support her, with a gentle smile on his face. "I can only say that now that things are finally over, you can put aside a big worry and move on, right? This... is a good thing."

“Is that so…” Lin Huan smiled, “Indeed, I feel much better now that I have put down the huge rock that has been weighing on my heart for so long…”

"That's great..." Mr. Zhongli patted her shoulder gently, "You've worked hard these days... Will you live in the same place permanently in the future?"

"Hmm..." Lin Huan pondered for a while, then slowly said, "Should I go back to walking around and stopping as usual?"

"Not bad." Mr. Zhongli nodded in agreement, "If you are free, you can still come and chat with me anytime."

Lin Huan chuckled, "I'm afraid that my sudden intrusion will disturb your busy work or rest..."

"It's okay... one day, when you are free, I will be free too..." Mr. Zhongli said this and suddenly stopped.

He looked up at Lin Huan, and seemed to be a little hesitant. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I think this busy time will continue for a long, long time... Ah Huan, are you willing to... keep waiting?"

Lin Huan was stunned and looked at him in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand why the gentleman would ask such a question given their tacit understanding: "Why don't I want to wait?"

Of course I am willing... Besides, it's not like we can't see each other again!

"I..." Zhongli hesitated, finally shook his head and chuckled, "It's not your problem, it's mine... This is my private matter. Anyway, I will come find you when I'm done."

He reached out and gently touched Lin Huan's head, "No matter what happens in the future... I... my contract with you will never change."

Nothing special happened in the next year. As he said to his master, Lin Huan alternated between Liyue Harbor and Wangshu Inn, staying a few days here and a few days there, accompanying Xiao and his family, and living a busy life. If there was something to do, such as the beautiful scenery of Qingce Manor, he would take on the task and go there to deal with it. After completing it, he would go out for a few days before returning; and sometimes he would stay in Yefu Mansion for a few more days at the invitation of Madam Huixin. More often, when friends were free, they would still make appointments with each other to get together and chat at Wangshu Inn. Boyang and Hu Xingzhi used to find a place to sit on the third-floor terrace of Wangshu Inn, drink and chat, mainly because someone had been elusive before and it was hard to find his figure, and only there could they find a corner of his clothes.

When all the people around are familiar faces, such as when only Boyang's family is present, Xiao will not deliberately hide his figure, but will stand on the roof and watch quietly.

Another very important happy event was Huixin, who finally gave birth to a baby boy after ten months of pregnancy and a difficult birth. Boyang was so happy! He had always been steady and calm, and after becoming the head of the family, he was even more indifferent to emotions... It was rare to see him so happy.

The Ye family hosted the child's full-month banquet. They opened the Ye mansion, set up a large tent outside, and placed several tables to entertain relatives and friends.

Everyone came, including Mr. Yang. His face seemed to be a little better than before. He wore a brightly colored long gown and sat down next to him. The oldest people at the table were Uncle Hu and the leader of the Bubulu. Hu Xingzhi and Lin Huan sat on the other side of them. Lin Huan was chatting with Mr. Yang. In the palm of his hand on his knees, a small white snake was coiled around his wrist. He was looking up at a small cake on a clean plate beside him, eager to try it, but he still didn't dare to take a bite. He lay down again with some disappointment.

"Don't you dare eat it, Changsheng?" Lin Huan saw this and wanted to laugh. He gently touched the little head that felt so good. His smile was a little teasing.

"You little girl, don't laugh at me!! Okay... I admit, it is true..." Changsheng's scales instantly exploded, and she looked bloated, but she finally admitted it. Her little tail swung again and again, and it was so cute to see, so lively and vivid.
