Chapter 687: This Is Your Party (2)

They were deeply afraid that they might spill the beans because of their own carelessness. For this reason, they did not hesitate to find all kinds of excuse even if they were awkward. The five animals were at least good at making excuses, but the group of unscrupulous mercenaries felt like dying as they thought of one.

"City Lord, forget about all the excuses we have said previously. All that... was because we have no choice." Some mercenaries were very embarrassed. At those times, they could not wait to shoot themselves dead.

Their brain was really lacking that the excuses they'd spouted almost stifled them to death!

"Yes, all of us are really in good shape."

"Right, and I still don't have a wife yet..."

Shen Yanxiao couldn't help but laugh at each of their explanation. She was secretly happy and felt very touched.

All demons and humans in The Rising Sun City had participated in this surprise event. Even Pei Yuan and Long Yue had also been pulled along to help make up the numbers. They had gradually become accustomed to living together with the demons. Now, even though there were demons in the Underground City, they weren't that uncomfortable at all.

The only ones who weren't here were the imperial guards who came from the Imperial Capital. Qi Xia, at an earlier time, had already made them drink some drugs to knock them out. They were now stuck in their own rooms and were all sleeping.

"I was dragged by them just now, just so you know..." Vermillion Bird walked out from the crowd. He was waiting for Shen Yanxiao at the City Hall when the five animals whistled forward and dragged him here. Only then he had known that they were preparing for Shen Yanxiao's birthday. What was more embarrassing was that he, as her magical beast, was completely unaware of his own master's birthday. He really had lost face.

Shen Yanxiao laughed and rubbed Vermillion Bird's small head.

"It's not over yet." Qi Xia patted Shen Yanxiao's shoulder and pointed to the artificial starry night sky.

Shen Yanxiao raised her head. The Mythological Beasts were already prepared long ago; one of them released bright flames in the "night sky", followed by different magic lights of different colors. Boom!

The sparkling magic was like colorful fireworks, the light-congealing crystals fell along with it.

"Today is your fourteenth birthday. Starting today, we will accompany you on your birthday each year." Qi Xia bent over and kissed Shen Yanxiao's little delicate face. The other four animals also came forward and impolitely took a mouthful of a person's fragrance.

"That will be your reward for us." Qi Xia's laughter was extremely treacherous.

Shen Yanxiao covered her cheeks and looked at this group of adorable yet hateful animals.

With such a group of friends, she had no regrets living this life.

"I've heard that on the Moon God Continent, the Elves will dance under the stars on their birthday. I wonder if I can have the honor to be our birthday star's partner for her first dance?" Qi Xia gracefully took two steps backward, bent his waist, and offered his hand to Shen Yanxiao.

The melodious music started to play at this time; the wonderful sound echoed throughout everyone's ears.

"I can't dance. If you're not afraid of being stepped on by me, then you may." Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrow, and although she said this, her hand was already on Qi Xia's hand.

The young man and the young lady went to the center while the rest of the crowd stepped back to make way for them. Under the "night sky," the young lads danced together.

Qi Xia was like a nobleman, gently yet elegantly holding Shen Yanxiao and leading the dance.

Shen Yanxiao quickly raised her little hand and turned around, but at the time she went back to her original position, someone else's warm hand was already holding hers.
