2: sky tree, the engagement eight years later[ … words ]

“The Great Monarch is fine,” the Lotus Leaf Demon said softly, “You don’t need to worry about it. It’s just that outside, the Great Monarch said the Little Nian Beast has already died, so… the demons on the mountain are holding a memorial for you and the Zodiac Team.”
“That’s of no concern,” Ji Minghuan yawned, “I’m going to Hai Fan City next. Don’t tell the Great Monarch I’ve been back.”
“Understood, understood,” the Lotus Leaf Demon quickly agreed.
Ji Minghuan turned and walked away, stepping into a tunnel built with flowers and thorns. After passing through the quiet tunnel, he arrived at the top of the cliff.
Standing at the very edge of the cliff, he looked down at the entire coastal city.
Lightly pushing off the ground with his toes, the young man leaped forward, dropping into the city with a transparent restraint belt. The strong wind lifted his bangs and made his black coat flap loudly.
He descended straight as a transparent eagle, the restraint belt dispersing gravity and calming the airflows of his fall.
Before long, he silently landed on the rooftop of the Fifth Middle School of Hai Fan City, where a girl in a blue and white school uniform with a high ponytail was leaning against the railing, playing on her phone.
She frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the chat interface on the screen, looking slightly displeased.
[Su Zimai: Big bro, why aren’t you here yet?]
[Ji Minghuan: Why don’t you look up?]
Su Zimai was taken aback for a moment, then looked up from the phone screen, only to see a hand reaching for her forehead, flicking it lightly.
She cried out in pain and then covered her head, glaring coldly at Ji Minghuan.
“You’re late.”
“You’re lucky I’m here to pick you up at all, still so picky. Where’s Ke Qirui?”
“He said he’s interviewing new recruits for the Ghost Train Corps and going to Xu Sanyan’s wedding.”
“A wedding… you didn’t go?”
“I don’t feel like going.”
“Why?”
“Just feels strange? Who wants to attend a familiar person’s wedding?”
“Alright, let’s first head to Lake Hunting. I need to get something from Lin Xingshi.”
“Okay.”
“Why are you standing around? We can walk over, Lin Family Mansion isn’t far from your school.”
“Don’t wanna.”
Su Zimai said while silently opening her arms to him, looking away towards the dusk sky.
“You win.”
Ji Minghuan looked at her helplessly, then bent down to gently pick up Su Zimai.
The next moment, their figures were enveloped by a black restraint belt, soaring together off the rooftop into the distance.
Before long, they landed in the Lin Family Mansion.
Looking up, the fountain in the courtyard was continuously spraying white water, the pond rippling.
Ji Minghuan put Su Zimai down and walked through the quiet corridor, knocking on the office door, immediately a familiar voice came from inside:
“Come in.”
Ji Minghuan pushed the door open and entered, seeing Lin Xingshi sitting at the desk, handling family documents. She slowly looked up, giving him a slight smile.
“Busy person, what brings you to me?” she asked.
“How could I be busier than you? Well, I’m here to borrow it,” Ji Minghuan said, pointing to the little blue cat asleep on the desk.
“You could, but are you sure it still remembers you?” Lin Xingshi tilted her head and asked, “You were a Little Nian back then, but now things have changed.”
“It definitely remembers.”
“Give it a try then?”
“Let’s give it a shot.”
Ji Minghuan said, reaching out to pet the head of the little blue cat. As soon as the Dragon Cat opened its eyes, it bared its sharp fangs and bit him.
For an ordinary person, their right hand might have been snapped off, but fortunately, Ji Minghuan anticipated this and wrapped a layer of the restraint belt over his skin.
“See?” Lin Xingshi smiled slightly.
“Alright, I admit my mistake. Better leave this ungrateful creature here to assist General Lin.”
“What are you going to do next?”
“Take my little sister home.”
“I see.” Lin Xingshi lowered her head, “I’ve been really busy lately. But feel free to come by and catch up when you have time.”
“I will, I will, I’ll come for tea when I’m free.” With that, Ji Minghuan waved and left.
Soon, he took Su Zimai home. He spent some time playing console games on the living room floor with her and Kong Youling, then sat on the sofa and opened his phone.
Ji Minghuan clicked into a dark web live stream, the homepage displaying a prominent headline. He barely glanced at it, knowing only that Swallowing Silver was once again chasing criminals.
“I’m heading out for a bit. You guys keep playing.”
Ji Minghuan said to Kong Youling and Su Zimai, then put away his phone and got up from the sofa.
“Wenyu, are you coming back for dinner tonight?” Gu Qiye heard the commotion and poked her head out from the kitchen.
“You guys go ahead, I’m dining with the young lady in Tokyo tonight,” Ji Minghuan said, walking into the entrance, sitting down to put on his sneakers and tying the laces.
“Can’t bring her back for dinner?”
“Come on, I’ve already made plans with her; I can’t just break them, can I?”
“Alright, then, be safe.”
“Big bro, are you telling a Restricted Level to be safe?” Ji Minghuan asked amusingly.
“I mean, be mindful of others’ safety. Just don’t end up accidentally destroying Tokyo while you’re on your date,” Gu Qiye said, crossing her arms, rubbing the Tianming acupoint with her other hand.
“Got it——” Ji Minghuan drew out the word, speaking with mock irritation.
“Prioritizing romance over your sister, you might as well not come back!” A voice, possibly the Diaper Demon, called out from the living room.
