“Do you like it?” Ming Ze smiled. Actually, he already knew the answer. Ji Jing’s surprise and joy were written on her face, but he wanted to hear the answer from her own mouth.
“I like it!” Ji Jing nodded excitedly.” I really like it!”
Ming Ze took the Daoist robe from Ji Jing’s hands, gently shook it open, and draped it over Ji Jing’s body.””Try it.”
True red was indeed the best color for a beauty. After wearing this Daoist robe, it made Ji Jing’s eyes even brighter.
She was wearing a Daoist robe, and her heart was thumping wildly. She was so happy that she even forgot the rules of being steady in a Daoist robe and spun around excitedly.
“It suits…” Before Ming Ze could say the word ” you ” , Ji Jing suddenly hugged him tightly. The girl’s breath assaulted his face. Ming Ze forgot what he wanted to say and his mind went blank.
“This is my happiest Birthday! Thank you! Ming Ze!” Ji Jing buried her head in Ming Ze’s chest, her voice muffled.
Ming Ze didn’t know what to do with his hands. In the end, he gently hugged her shoulders.” You’re welcome. You deserve all this.”
Ji Jing’s eyes were filled with warmth. Today was a wonderful birthday that she had never imagined. She was really happy. She had never received so many gifts before. It was as if she was going to make up for all her birthday regrets tonight.
Ji Jing suddenly had an impulse. She looked up.” I also want to do something for this celebration.’
“Aren’t you tired?” Ming Ze asked helplessly.”
Ji Jing nodded and then shook her head. She was so happy that she didn’t feel tired at all.
Ming Ze turned his head and glanced at the moonlight. He reached out and tidied her messy black hair.”Alright then.”
After that, Ming Ze suddenly carried Ji Jing in his arms and stepped on the moonlight as he rushed into the forest.
Ji Jing subconsciously tightened her arms around his neck. She looked up at his strong side profile and asked,’”‘Where are you taking me?”
Ming Ze lowered his head and winked at her.”
A moment later, Ji Jing sat on the smooth branch of a big tree, wearing a red Taoist robe. She looked down at the man under the tree. The cold moonlight shone on the body of the underling, making him look noble and elegant.
Ming Ze stretched out his hand to release a trace of spiritual power into the night, just like a stream flowing into the river and sea. Ming Ze said, “I’ll get you a lantern.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Jing saw a vine crawl out from the branches beside her and wrap around Ming Ze’s hand. The tender shoot at the top of the vine gently rubbed against Ming Ze’s palm, looking extremely attached.
“This is…Lantern plant?” Ji Jing looked at the small red lanterns hanging on the vines and said.
“This is called Hong Gu’s ‘Mothers-in-a’.” As Ming Ze spoke, his fingers tapped on the small and exquisite lanterns.
The fingertips seemed to have magic power, and as they touched the lantern, it gradually lit up. The fruits wrapped in the lantern were like luminous pearls, emitting bright light, making the red lantern’s skin as thin as a cicada’s wing.
Ming Ze looked up and waved at Ji Jing.” Come.’”‘
Ji Jing looked into his eyes and jumped down from the tree without hesitation. Ming Ze caught her with one hand and blew hot air into her ear.”Let them clear the way.”
Ming Ze scattered the small red fruits, and they naturally drifted away with the wind. Suddenly, countless red lanterns gradually lit up in the dense branches of the big tree.
They were gently blown by the night wind, swaying like small bells. From this tree to the next tree, the faint light formed a path of light and shadow that gradually extended into the unknown distance.
Ji Jing watched without blinking. As she breathed, there seemed to be a faint refreshing fragrance in the air.
“Let’s go.” Ming Ze held Ji Jing’s hand and walked up the mountain along the path that was covered by lanterns.” The Ghost Gate is wide open during the Hungry Ghost Festival. For humans, it’s a night of ghosts and the day with the heaviest Yin Qi. Although demons have no taboos and are not as fragile as humans, and they can still hold a banquet here, they are also natural creatures.
They don’t like the resentment of ghosts and monsters that much. Therefore, if you want to do something for us…”
“Blessing!” Ji Jing immediately followed his train of thought. At the moment when the ghost gate closed at dawn, she would perform a blessing ritual for the living beings in the mountain to dispel the bad luck and pray for good luck. This was the greatest reward Ji Jing could do for the demons..
