Time passed day by day and Qu Xin Rui's birthday soon arrived. The batch of people who were about to be transported out of the city would also have to bid farewell to their families on the second day after Qu Xin Rui's birthday, to once again leave their homeland and be brought to that suffocating place to be imprisoned.
That evening, after Xiong Ba and Qing Yu had finished dealing with the affairs in the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, they immediately went towards Jun Xie's room. They would be going together to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers today, to offer their blessings to that person.
It was said to be a birthday celebration, but Xiong Ba's face did not show the slightest sign of willingness. His congratulatory gift had been prepared by Qing Yu himself. Jun Wu Xie packed up her things and took out a bottle of elixirs from her Cosmos Sack, holding it in her hand.
When Xiong Ba saw the medicine bottle in Jun Xie's hand, he asked curiously: "What is that?"
"Congratulations." Jun Wu Xie said.
Xiong Ba widened his eyes.
"You even prepared a gift for that old witch?"
Jun Wu Xie's gaze fell calmly upon the two brocade boxes that Qing Yu was holding in his hands.
Tyrant Bear blushed and coughed awkwardly.
"This was prepared by Qing Yu. I will not give anything to that old witch, not even a single copper coin."
Qing Yu looked at Xiong Ba with a bitter smile on his face. Xiong Ba wasn't going to make any preparations, but hadn't Qing Yu asked him to take care of it?
"Young Master Jun, please do not take it to heart. Our Clan Chief has always been like that. Asking him to attend that person's birthday banquet is no different from being sent to the execution grounds. Every year, for that person's birthday banquet, I have always prepared two sets of congratulatory gifts. Young Master Jun is not considered to be a member of the Thousand Beast City and even if he does not send any, it would not matter."
"That's all." Jun Wu Xie did not care about that bottle of elixirs at all. When she was idle in the Thousand Beast City, she would either find out more about the situation here through Ye Sha's inquiries, or she would be cultivating elixirs. Just a bottle of elixirs like that, wasn't something that she would be reluctant to part with.
Seeing Jun Xie's insistence, Qing Yu did not say anything more. But Xiong Ba's face was dark, and it was just as Qing Yu had said, looking like he was going to the execution ground.
The three of them left the Fiery Blaze Hall and headed towards the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.
Although it was already evening, but the Thousand Beast City was still brightly lit. Outside the doors of every house, lanterns were hung up high, the same shade of bright red. At a glance, it was a sea of blood red, setting off the entire street in a shade of crimson.
"Every year, on her birthday, in the Thousand Beast City, every single household has to hang up red lanterns, to show that the entire city's citizens are celebrating." Qing Yu explained to Jun Xie as he stared at the red lanterns that filled the streets.
"It's all the actions of a powerful man. If he dies, everyone in the Thousand Beast City would be more than happy to hang up a red lantern to celebrate!" Xiong Ba snorted.
Qing Yu glared at his Hall Chief and said in a low voice: "No matter how much dissatisfaction Hall Chief Xiong has, it's fine if you just say it within the Hall. But if it's heard by others, nothing good will come out of it."
Xiong Ba's mouth twitched. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not say anything more.
Jun Wu Xie stared at the red lanterns and found them rather dazzling. She did not bring Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit with her, but had locked them up in two separate rooms in the courtyard. Because the little black cat was going to accompany her, she had done this to prevent the two dumb beasts from tearing down the entire place while she was not around.
The three of them walked at a pace that was neither fast nor slow, but they still came to the outside of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers very quickly.
The seven storey high Heavenly Cloud Chambers was decorated with lanterns and coloured banners, but the doors were tightly shut. Outside the doors, there were already people who had come to offer their well wishes, standing there waiting.
