Monster Paradise
Chapter 1469 - Yuan Chen Festival
It was already late December, and Winterfell had long since turned into a snowy white world, just like that New Year's Eve four years ago.
Lin Huang and his siblings were looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky with a face of emotion, when the villa's door was suddenly pushed open.
Standing at the door, it was Lin Xuan.
"I thought you guys would be two days late, and I was going to clean up today and go buy some things for the holidays tomorrow to decorate the house." Lin Xuan had a genial smile on his face.
"You came so quickly, we were delayed for less than ten minutes and we teleported over right away." Lin Huang said as he walked towards Lin Xuan.
"I used the teleportation portal to locate this place before, and there was nothing else to do anyway, so I greeted Huang Tianfu when I hung up the call and came straight over." Lin Xuan explained with a smile.
At this time, Lin Xin walked up to Lin Xuan and looked up at Lin Xuan who was more than half a head taller than himself, "Little Xuan ...... How do you feel so called strange now?"
"Or else, let's call it Da Xuan from now on." Lin Huang on the side suggested.
Lin Xuan was speechless, but didn't retort. After all, his current appearance looked five or six years more mature than Lin Huang, and it was odd for him to be called Little Xuan by Lin Xin again.
"Da Xuan is indeed much more smooth, so I'll change my name to Da Xuan from now on." After Lin Xin said that, he was busy again, "Although the name has been changed, Da Xuan you must not forget that I am still your sister oh!"
Although the awkward name change was made, Lin Xin was still firmly unwilling to give up her sister status.
Lin Xuan looked helpless, but he didn't argue.
"Alright, hurry up and clean up the house." Lin Huang quickly opened his mouth to relieve Lin Xuan's embarrassment.
After all, having not seen each other for four years, and having experienced quite a lot in these four years and having awakened Mo Kui's memories, it was indeed a bit difficult for Lin Xuan to integrate into the house so quickly.
Lin Huang was more than willing to give Lin Xuan some time to slowly adapt.
Under Lin Huang's leadership, the three of them soon began to clean up.
It took a morning for the three of them to clean the entire house inside and out.
"The bed sheets in the closet have been there for years, so just replace them with new ones. And the bathroom toiletries are long overdue, too. Everything in the fridge can be thrown away ......" Lin Huang said as he recorded what he wanted to buy, "You guys see what else needs to be replaced."
Lin Xin and Lin Xuan mentioned a few more things and Lin Huang recorded them all and made a list.
The three of them went out for lunch and went straight to the supermarket, purchasing all the items on the list and rearranging the house again. It gave the house, which had been somewhat deserted, quite a festive atmosphere.
The three of them didn't go out much in the following days.
Lin Huang spent most of his time practicing Infinity, improving the number of Nen Nen threads.
Lin Xin, on the other hand, was pulling Lin Xuan to practice actual combat, but of course the practice ground was not in Winterfell City. With the two of them being a Nine Revolutions Void God Realm and a First Sequence True God, they could easily destroy the entire Winterfell City with just the aftermath of battle. The two of them's practice grounds were within Lin's divine domain.
More than a week of time passed quickly.
Lin Huang's Nen energy threads increased by more than 20,000 more, and the total number arrived at around 250,000.
Lin Xin's actual combat level had also risen a notch from before with the high-intensity battle practice.
Today, her strength was almost no weaker than the Mr. Fu before the closure.
As the January 1st Yuan Chen Festival approached, Lin Huang finally stopped his endless training, while Lin Xin and Lin Xuan also stopped their combat training.
The Yuan Chen Festival was actually the New Year of the New Era, but everyone was used to celebrating the New Year Pass, so the importance was a little weaker compared to the New Year Pass.
However, there were still almost two months before the year's close, and Lin Huang didn't intend to continue staying in the Gravel World, so he chose the New Year's Eve to cross over.
On the first night of the Yuanchen Festival, Lin Huang took the two of them to wrap dumplings.
Although there were dumpling restaurants in the Gravel World, it was the first time for Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to wrap the dumplings themselves. Both of them learned very seriously and were in great interest in wrapping the dumplings.
The three of them also ate very simply for dinner, one bowl of dumplings each, and didn't eat much. The rest of the uncooked ones were all put in the freezer.
In the evening, heavy snow drifted outside the window again.
Lin Huang and his three friends sat around the fireplace, cheerfully chatting about their interesting experiences in the past few years until the early hours of the morning, when a new year arrived on the New Era calendar.
Only when they heard the melodious ringing of the New Year's bell did the three of them stop talking and almost coincidentally turned their heads to look out of the window. Right at this moment, not far away, countless fireworks rose one after the other, blossoming brilliantly in the sky.
Winterfell City, which was more than twenty degrees below zero, was bustling with activity at this early morning hour right now.
The commercial street not far from Lin Huang's district was still crowded with people, and many people were even standing there watching the fireworks.
Inside the room, however, it was extremely quiet at the moment.
The fireplace fire flickered and the warm yellow light illuminated the faces of Lin Huang's three men.
None of the three of them spoke anymore, but quietly watched as the fireworks rose one by one outside the window and blossomed into a radiant flower in the sky.
The fireworks continued for more than half an hour before they finally stopped, and only then did Lin Huang's three men withdrew their gazes.
"A similar firework was set off four years ago at that year-end." Lin Huang was the first to break the silence.
"Yeah, I remember it clearly, just like now, we had a fireplace burning in the house ......" Lin nodded with a smile.
"I don't remember it quite the same, but Da Xuan and I were running to the window to watch the fireworks for a while, then it suddenly started snowing outside and we went outside to have a snowball fight." Lin Xin laughed, "When we came back from the snowball fight, the fireworks were already finished."
Lin Xuan somewhat accosted and smiled, of course he remembered this as well, he just didn't feel comfortable rehashing it.
After the three of them chatted for a while longer, Lin Xuan suddenly asked at Lin Huang, "When are you planning to go to the Great World after the Yuan Chen Festival?"
Hearing this question, Lin Xin also perked up her ears.
"Stay one more day, on the 3rd we'll go back to the Human Imperial City first. I'll make the rest of the arrangements and we'll be ready to go." Lin Huang clearly had a clear itinerary already.
Lin Xin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly asked, "Brother, can we ...... still go back to the Gravel World afterwards?"
"Yes." Lin Huang nodded with a smile, "If you guys want to come back, you can come back anytime."
"Returning from the Great World shouldn't be an easy task, right?" Lin Xuan asked with a slight frown on his brow, feeling that Lin Huang's words were completely coaxing Lin Xin.
"Don't worry, if I say so, I can definitely do it." Lin Huang smiled and patted Lin Xuan's shoulder without any further explanation.
Hearing Lin Huang say it all, although there were still doubts in Lin Xuan's mind, he didn't ask any more questions and chose to believe Lin Huang. After all, this man had done too many things that others couldn't do.
