It was snowing heavily in Winter City.
Although the weather was cold, the streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns as the New Year approached. The business district was crowded and bustling with people.
In a villa near the business district in the east of the foothold, two little girls walked hand in hand in the snow. They were wearing the same down jacket, but the color was different. One was white while the other was black.
"Little Witch, do you think brother will like the gift we picked?" Lin Xin, who was wearing a white down jacket, asked in anticipation.
"Master will definitely like the gift that Little Master picked," the Witch, who was wearing a black down jacket, answered softly with a blush on her face.
"Let's go home quickly then. Brother might be waiting for us at home." Lin Xin nodded with a smile and quickened her pace with the Witch.
The two girls slowed down in front of a three-story villa. They scanned their fingerprints at the door and entered.
The villa was not much different from when they left in the morning.
Looking at the fireplace that had been extinguished, Lin Xin looked a little disappointed.
She changed into slippers at the door, took off her down jacket, and hung it on the hanger. She then walked to the fireplace and tossed a red crystal into it. The fireplace lit up immediately with a red flame. At the same time, it released circles of heat that completely chased away the chill in the house.
"It's still warmer at home." The Witch changed into slippers and sat on the floor in front of the fireplace. She extended her hands to the edge of the fireplace to warm herself.
Lin Xin stood before the fireplace, her eyes reflecting the flickering red flame in the fireplace. She was in a daze and only asked softly after a while, "Little Witch, it'll be New Year in four days. Do you think brother won't be back?"
The Witch fell into silence for a while and pulled Lin Xin to sit down. "Since Master has promised Little Master that he'll be back, he'll probably keep his promise if there's nothing special."
"He said it'll take three months to enter the ruins, but it's been a few days since three months …" Lin Xin was rather worried. "Could he be in trouble?"
"With Master's current ability, he shouldn't be in trouble as long as he doesn't offend an extremely powerful imperial-level. After all, my combat strength has elevated to imperial-level, so it should be the same for Master's other imperial monsters. Besides, there are quite a few beasts among Master's beasts that are stronger than me. It's already good enough that he doesn't go looking for trouble. " Miko-sama smiled and explained, "As for the three months that Master said, it may not necessarily be exactly three months."
Seeing that Lin Xin was still unhappy, Miko-sama stood up and changed the topic, "We've bought all the New Year's goods, and we can decorate the house today. This way, when Master comes back and sees it, he will definitely feel like celebrating the New Year. "
Hearing this, Lin Xin finally pulled herself together. "That's right. We have to let Brother feel the atmosphere of the New Year."
"Little Wu, let's get to work! Let's start with cleaning! "The energetic young girl returned.
…
As soon as he walked out of the long-distance dimensional portal in the White Capital, Lin Huang knew that Lin Xin did not stay at the Martial Arts Academy. The reason being, Miko-sama was definitely with her, but he did not sense Miko-sama's aura in the White Capital.
However, Lin Huang did not summon the dimensional portal to leave the White Capital right away. Instead, he headed straight to the largest chamber of commerce in the White Capital.
He had to buy some gifts for his sister before he went home.
Unsure of Lin Xin's combat strength, Lin Huang bought two sets of combat equipment. One was silver-level while the other was gold-level.
Apart from the battle armor that was the latest model, Lin Huang even picked two top-notch battle swords and two magically modified weapons for Lin Xin. He got the staff to wrap them up into gifts and put them in his storage space.
He then bought a puppet doll for Miko-sama and got the staff to wrap it up as well.
It was actually an ancient relic, similar to the puppet doll that Grimace wanted. However, the puppet doll was a combat type while the puppet doll was more inclined to control the battlefield. Its ability to fight head-on was much weaker.
After buying the gifts, Lin Huang then summoned the dimensional portal and stepped into it.
The Miko-sama who was hanging the lanterns with Lin Xin suddenly trembled. She sensed Lin Huang's return and stopped what she was doing.
"What's wrong, Miko-sama?" Lin Xin immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"Master is back, I can sense it."
"Brother?" Lin Xin opened her eyes wide and turned to look at the door.
At that moment, the door was pushed open and a silhouette walked in.
Lin Xin dashed towards the person as soon as she saw him and threw herself into his arms.
"Brother!"
Lin Huang hugged Lin Xin with a smile and patted her head.
After a while, Lin Xin let go of him. Her eyes were slightly red.
"Little girl, you've grown taller. Let me take a good look at you." Lin Huang put his hands on Lin Xin's shoulders and looked at her with a smile.
"You're getting prettier! You've become a beauty. "
"No way!" Lin Xin blushed and denied softly, but she was secretly happy.
Although he was complimenting her, Lin Huang was shocked because he could clearly sense that Lin Xin's combat strength was already complete gold-level rank-3. It seemed like she could break through to holy fire-level at any time.
Lin Huang was upset. Lin Xin did not need the gifts that he had chosen as she could use relics now.
"It seems like I'll have to buy another gift," Lin Huang thought to himself.
At that moment, the Miko-sama walked over shyly and greeted Lin Huang softly, "Master."
"Miko-sama, you don't seem to have changed much." Lin Huang smiled and nodded at the Miko-sama. However, he felt that it was inappropriate to say that, so he immediately added, "You're still so cute."
The Miko-sama blushed when she heard that. She dared not look at Lin Huang again and stared at her toes nervously.
After closing the door, Lin Huang lifted his head to look at the decorations in the house. They were almost done.
"Not bad, it feels like Chinese New Year."
The two ladies were elated to hear that. That was the effect that they wanted.
After changing into slippers and removing his jacket, Lin Huang summoned Bloody and Bai to join the decorating team.
The reason why he did not summon Tyrant and the rest was that they were not suitable for such detailed work. They would probably collapse the wall if he asked them to put up some calligraphy and paintings. Lin Huang did not want a simple house decoration to turn into a house demolition.
With the addition of Lin Huang and the other two, the progress of decorating the house was sped up. In less than half an hour, all the lanterns were hung up and the calligraphy and paintings were put up. The ceiling was decorated with crystals of various colors that looked like stars.
Looking at the finished work, Lin Huang felt that it was the Chinese New Year. However, he could not help but recall the Chinese New Year back on Earth in a daze. Although the details were different, the overall feeling was similar.
"This is my third Chinese New Year in this world …" Lin Huang could not help but exclaim to himself.
