Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

At this moment, on the rooftop, the white-haired Lord of Annihilation was playing chess with a disheveled old man sitting opposite him.

After taking a sip of wine, the old man took the opportunity to take back his move once more.

The self-proclaimed magnanimous Marquis of Destruction naturally wouldn't care; he'd let you take back your move.

Anyway, no matter how many times you regret it, you still win...

But since I finally found someone willing to play chess, I might as well back out.

"When do you plan to leave?"

They were supposed to go to the Southern Barbarian Empire, so why haven't they left yet?

Perhaps he's fallen into his procrastination habit again.

This old guy is so lazy; he'd rather lie down than stand up.

"It's better to avoid trouble" has always been his guiding principle.

"What's the rush? Let's talk about it after the Spring Festival."

Fan Jian was speechless, only his lips twitched slightly.

This old guy, others may not understand him, but doesn't he know himself?

Celebrating the Spring Festival is out of the question.

It's just an excuse for being too lazy to move.

"After New Year's Eve, you'll be a year older."

"..."

Heartbreak!

It pierces the lungs!

Blown away!

The old man almost lost his temper.

Which pot does not open which pot.

This kind of person is the most annoying.

His lifespan is nearing its end, and the "Covering the Sky" project is his only hope for prolonging it.

The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for the plan.

It wasn't for anyone else, it was for himself, and he had to ensure the plan was implemented smoothly.

Otherwise, he would eventually pass away.

Instead of ascending to immortality, their souls were scattered and their spirits were destroyed.

"I'm done playing, it's no fun at all. I have important business to attend to, I'm going now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chess piece fell from the air, bounced on the edge of the chessboard, and rolled to the ground.

The old man had vanished without a trace.

He shattered the void, covering a thousand miles in an instant, directly employing a powerful divine ability.

"Terrible chess player!"

The Marquis of Destruction gathered his chess pieces and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"The capital is really lively tonight..."

Leaning against the railing, overlooking the entire capital, the lights of thousands of homes create a lively scene.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a pavilion in the lake below, where two people seemed to be talking about something.

Hey, why are these two here instead of going out to play today?

The two were Fan Zui and Fan Bingyan.

"Why did you ask me out?" Fan Zui asked, holding a chicken leg in his hand. He took a bite, and there was oil on his lips.

"Could you persuade your godfather to try practicing the general principles of cultivation? Perhaps it would be helpful?"

Fan Bingyan's gaze fell on the frozen lake surface, which flickered between light and shadow, giving off a slightly somber feeling.

Upon hearing this, Fan Zui paused slightly in his action of biting into the chicken leg.

“I tried to persuade him, but my godfather seemed to have other plans.”

"What's the plan?"

"That old guy is too cunning; how could we possibly understand him?"

He couldn't even understand the many mysteries surrounding himself, let alone the old man.

"He might listen to your advice," Fan Bingyan said, still unwilling to give up.

A soft sigh faded into the darkness.

Fan Zui looked up at the night sky, where a few snowflakes were falling.

"Is there really no other way?" The sword-wielding woman asked with a worried expression.

Afterwards, the two went together to find their stubborn adoptive father.

Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere.

"See? This old guy is deliberately avoiding us." Fan Zui shrugged helplessly.

Fan Bingyan also sighed helplessly.

On New Year's Eve, the silent night sky was lit up by a dazzling array of fireworks.

Fireworks burst forth, like flowers blooming in the night sky, radiating brilliant colors.

Red, yellow, and blue intertwine, drawing beautiful arcs in the darkness.

Dazzling sparks leaped in the air, bursting forth with countless brilliant lights.

The sparks danced harmoniously, like a mesmerizing symphony, adorning the entire night sky in a dreamlike way.

The trail of sparks flying was like a poetic lyric, sometimes arcing and sometimes straight, like a fairy dancing in the Milky Way.

Fireworks burst forth, instantly transforming the night sky into a magnificent spectacle. Colorful lights pierced the darkness, illuminating the smiling faces of the people.

Cheers, applause, and shouts of joy rose and fell, shaking the soul and captivating the audience.

Complementing the spectacular fireworks display was the dazzling pattern woven by fireworks near and far across the night sky.

The brilliance of fireworks lasts only a moment, but that beautiful moment is enough to make people remember it for a lifetime.

On New Year's Eve, the magnificent fireworks display brought smiles to people's faces as they enjoyed the joy and blessings that come with the passing of time.

The beauty of this moment will be deeply etched in people's hearts, becoming one of the most beautiful memories of their lives.

"The fireworks tonight are so beautiful..." Fan Zui suddenly exclaimed.

Having traveled through time, this was the first time in all these years that he had seriously watched fireworks.

"So-so." The swordswoman seemed to be in a bad mood and had no interest in watching the fireworks, so she gave a perfunctory reply.

Later that evening, Fan Zui took Ju Zi and went shopping as well.

On New Year's Eve, the capital city was bustling with activity.

Moreover, we can stay up all night tonight; there will be no curfew in the city.

As for Taotie, no one knows where it has gone.

For it, this should be a rather "abundant" festival, with delicious food everywhere.

I figured I wouldn't get caught if I sneaked a bite or two.

We wandered around for a long time before finally returning home.

"Young master, tonight..." Ju Zi gently massaged his shoulders. She knew that tonight would be another night when her young master would fall asleep quickly.

"Ah."

The two understood each other perfectly, and Fan Zui knew what she meant, so he gave a soft "hmm".

Orange stopped talking and turned to prepare the bathwater.

Tonight, the two of them will take a bath together!

While showering, the steam from the hot water filled the bathroom.

Tiny water droplets condensed into mist, filling the air with thick water vapor.

The misty air, lingering in the sky, gives a warm and gentle feeling.

The steam from the hot water gradually blurred my vision, making me feel as if I were surrounded by clouds and mist.

Soft water droplets gently fall onto the skin, bringing an incredibly delicate touch.

The warm water moisturizes the skin, penetrating deep into every pore to wash away fatigue and dirt.
