There was still half a month to go before the first day of the new year, but the festive atmosphere was already palpable in Mufeng City.

The city was crowded with people, red talismans hung from rooftops, and children ran through the streets laughing and holding windmills and candy.

The streets are filled with vendors selling food and drinks.

This is one of the few days when people can rest and have fun.

The three of them were hanging out on the street.

Zhan Qingchen grabbed Su Shi’s arm, while Sikong Lanyue quietly followed behind.

Under the influence of the Dao, the pedestrians were unable to see their faces and subconsciously ignored their presence.

Otherwise, their presence would cause an uproar!

“Su Shi, let’s go and buy some candy.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked towards a small stall.

Sikong Lanyue stood awkwardly at the same place.

Seeing their intimate appearance, she suddenly regretted coming out.

Why do I have to go shopping with them?

It’s just a mundane festival, what does it matter to me?

Although the place was very crowded, she was like an outsider at this time.

She sighed and prepared to return to the sect.

At that moment, Zhan Qingchen ran back and grabbed her arm.

“Master, what are you doing? Let’s come together.”

“I…”

She was pulled away before finishing her sentence.

Zhan Qingduan held Su Shi in her left hand and pulled Sikong Lanyue in her right.

They came to the stall.

The old man poured the boiled sugar onto a copper plate and used molds to make various shapes before the sugar hardened.

Then he stuck a bamboo stick in the back and waited for the sugar to cool down before using a spatula to gently remove it from the copper plate.

The candy is now complete.

But the impression is relatively crude, mostly simple kitten and puppy shapes.

“Which one should I choose?”

Zhan Qingchen hesitated somewhat.

Su Shi thought about it and slipped the old man a gold bar, ”Old man, let’s talk, let me make some myself for fun.”

Looking at the gleaming gold bar in his hand, the old man widened his eyes, “This stall is yours.”

After speaking, he got up and left, for fear that Su Shi would regret it.

Even if you sell candy for a year, you can’t make this much money.

Zhan Qingchen was curious.

“Do you know how to make candy?”

“What’s so difficult about it?”

When Su Shi’s mind moved, the sugar water in the pot instantly rose into the air.

Under the control of his spiritual power, the sugar water continuously transformed into various shapes and forms.

This folk art was indeed too simple for a cultivator.

As the sugar liquid transforms, its form slowly reveals itself as a fairy with fluttering clothes.

Even her eyebrows and hair are very beautiful.

Zhan Qingchen’s cheeks flushed slightly.

Isn’t this me?

Su Shi said with a smile: “How is my job?”

“It’s very good.”

Zhan Qingchen gave a thumbs up.

She reached out to take it, but Su Shi put the candy behind his back, “Lady, you have to pay first.”

He pointed to his cheek.

Zhan Qingchen blushed.

However, she still managed to contain her embarrassment and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Sikong Lanyue’s heart was sour and silently looked away.

Since agreeing to their relationship, the two had become increasingly bold.

“Daoist Master, this is for you.”

Su Shi’s voice rang out.

Sikong Lanyue looked back, only to see the other party handing her candy.

It was a statue of a young daoist, her daoist robes fluttering and graceful, but her appearance was very cute and charming.

“Why did you make one for me too?”

Sikong Lanyue frowned slightly, “Besides, since when did I look like that?”

The lips on the statue puffed out slightly, as if she was pouting.

Su Shi said with a smile, ”The way Daoist Master looked at me at first was even more than this-”

“Stop it, don’t say that!”

Sikong Lanyue’s face heated up for a while.

Su Shi shrugged, ”If you don’t want it, then I’ll give it to someone else.”

“No way!”

Sikong Lanyue snatched the candy cane and said nervously, ”How can you give it to anyone just like that?”

How could she allow others to see her with such an expression?

Of course it was impossible!

Su Shi was slightly amused.

This Daoist Master was really cute.

Sikong Lanyue’s eyes glazed over and she whispered, ”But… I have nothing to repay you with.”

Thinking of Zhan Qingchen’s actions just now, her pretty face could not help but become even redder.

“It’s fine, it’s my treat.”

Su Shi stood up, “Let’s continue shopping.”

“Hn.”

Sikong Lanyue followed him step by step.

She looked at the candy sculpture in her hand, her eyes a little shy, and after admiring it for a long time, frost gushed from her palm, sealing everything in ice.

Su Shi wondered, “Why don’t you eat it?”

“It’s a pity to eat….I mean I don’t like sweets.”

Sikong Lanyue secretly kept the candy.

The three of them strolled around.

Zhan Qingchen ran around like a curious baby.

She wanted to try everything she saw, and her cheeks were round like a little squirrel.

And Sikong Zhangyue looked at the bustling street scene in front of her, her eyes a little dazed.

The roadside was decorated with lights, fireworks, the voices of food vendors, and the hot air billowing from the stalls.

The atmosphere was boisterous and festive, filled with residents from all over the city.

This feeling was new to her.

“This Mufeng City is right at the foot of the mountain, but I don’t think I’ve ever been here before.”

She rarely left the sect.

Even when she went out, it was always somewhere high up in the clouds, so she had never been this close to the earth.

Su Shi shook his head and said, “That’s very unfortunate.”

“Very unfortunate?”

Sikong Lanyue said indifferently: “Only by abandoning worldly trinkets can you climb the path of immortality. If you are still obsessed with the mortal world, how can you draw the supreme power of the dao?”

Su Shi smiled, “Are those who reach the supreme power not human?”

Sikong Lanyue frowned and said, “What do you mean?”

“Only when one’s heart is set free can one reach the pinnacle.”

“But when you are in the mortal world, you will realize that you are a living human being.”

Su Shi shrugged his shoulders, ”If the purpose of cultivation is to cut off human nature, then I think it’s better not to tread this immortal path.”

Sikong Lanyue was shocked.

Only when one’s heart is set free can one reach the peak?

She had never heard such a truth.

“Then what is the purpose of your cultivation?”

“Me?”

Su Shi said solemnly: “To fall in love.”

“….”

Sikong Lanyue gave him an angry look, “Can’t you be serious?”

Su Shi thought about it and said, “To protect the people who are important to me.”

“Important people?”

Sikong Lanyue lowered her head, trying to digest the words.

After a long period of silence, she finally summoned up a bit of courage and said, ”I…”

But at that moment, Zhan Qingchen jumped up and pulled two away, “Hurry up, there’s a fun show going on there!”
