Chapter 679 - 299

Boss, did you see that?

This must be a fiery feast created by some powerful Pet Beast!

Standing beside Yang Yue, the Cloud Fox alertly perked its ears, its body faintly trembling, but Yang Yue soothed it with a pat, and it quietly joined in the admiration.

The Scaly Green Snake coiled around Li Qing’s wrist flicked its icy tongue, curiously staring at the sky; the Ripple Shadow Snake on her knee raised its head slightly, its scales seeming to glisten like flowing water.

Beside Lu Ran, the Red Hoof Colt snorted, puffing out a small stream of white air, its tail tip blazing fiercely.

Zhuang Jianbai and the Winter Dog snuggled together, quietly watching the brilliant fireworks, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Zhang Hao pointed at the dazzling fireworks, hands on hips, a smug smile on his face: "Yes, yes, I arranged this specially."

"How can a bonfire party be without fireworks?"

At this moment,

The sleeping Xuanhe Village was awakened, the brilliant fireworks climbing up to every window with loud booming sounds.

Awakened children hurried to the windows, gazing up at the streams of light, only to be stopped by their parents: "What are you looking at? You have to get up early tomorrow."

The children obediently went to bed, but they turned their heads to watch outside, where each loud boom ignited the most splendid fireworks in their hearts.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

Run Run Duck was the first to be awakened, groggily getting up, and upon seeing the culprit that woke it, pointed its wings at the sky and cursed.

Those disturbing Duck’s sleep are all bad guys, doomed to never find happiness like the Electric Flying Cat!

"Dian Dian..."

Even with the continuous loud noises outside, the Electric Flying Cat in its sweet dreams did not wake up; it tightly hugged the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat doll gifted by Chen Yuan, a smile gradually curving on its lips.

It dreamed of a date with the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat, a sweet and blissful date.

The diligent Iron Head silently looked up; as the countless fireworks reflected in its eyes, it slightly frowned, gripping the sharp blade in front of it.

It didn’t like unexpected events.

The fireworks seemed dazzling and beautiful, but the loud noises would surely alarm the wild Pet Beasts in the mountains.

If these wild Pet Beasts became agitated, they might cause trouble for Xuanhe Village at the mountain’s foot.

If this happens, the farm would inevitably be affected.

"Ka."

Iron Head’s gaze was sharp, scanning around, constantly vigilant for dangers lurking in the night.

The fireworks kept blooming, when Lu Ran and Zhuang Jianbai suddenly found themselves standing by Chen Yuan’s side.

"Advisor Chen, you’ll attend the Donghuang Conference, right?" Lu Ran stared intently at the side of Chen Yuan’s face, his voice gradually rising.

Chen Yuan turned to look: "Is the Donghuang Conference starting soon?"

He had heard two or three months ago that the Donghuang Conference was being prepared, yet until now, he hadn’t received any definite news.

Lu Ran’s lips curled upward: "It seems there are things even Advisor Chen doesn’t know."

Chen Yuan’s mouth twitched.

Could it be that in others’ eyes, he’s seen as an omniscient presence?

Lu Ran didn’t keep it a secret, directly sharing the information he possessed: "Before the Spring Festival."

Both Chen Yuan and Zhuang Jianbai focused their gaze on Lu Ran.

"The Donghuang Conference will be held before the Spring Festival, expected to last one to two weeks."

Before the Spring Festival?

Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, quietly calculating the time.

It’s late December now, and the Spring Festival is in early February, meaning the Donghuang Conference is only a month away.

"Advisor Chen, you’ll attend, right?" Lu Ran stared straight into Chen Yuan’s eyes, unabashedly displaying spirited combat intent, repeating the question.

Chen Yuan glanced at the little fellows around him, his lips gradually lifting: "Probably."

Though he resisted the hassle and complexity of competitions, he gradually realized the many benefits of attending, forming new friendships, and obtaining Source Points from fellow contestants.

Every competition, Chen Momo would come online as promised.

Most importantly...

Participating wasn’t only his endeavor; it was the shared wish of these little fellows.

Their daily grind and effort would shine the brightest on the field.

Hearing Chen Yuan’s reply, Lu Ran smiled brightly, his eyes shining: "All right, I’ll wait for you in the Imperial Capital."

Zhuang Jianbai said nothing, already planning the intensive training regimen for the next month.

He wouldn’t miss this Donghuang Conference.

More accurately, no excellent Beastmaster would miss it.

The bonfire flickered gently in everyone’s eyes, countless sparks like fireflies rising, merging into the brilliant night sky;

The bonfire and fireworks illuminated the figures of people and Pet Beasts snuggling together, laughter dissipating with the fireworks and returning to softness.

Night deepened.
