Chapter 21 Aurora Celebration Under the Starry Sky
First Summer Celebration

Aurora City, the northernmost part of the Western Sena continent, holds a unique aurora celebration every summer to appreciate the interlaced night sky of the Milky Way and aurora.

During that one-month celebration, young couples from all over the city will travel together and come here to participate in the grandest gathering.Of course, this time was the busiest time in Aurora City, and it was also the time when Luoluo had the most headaches.

Because of this, every June in midsummer, Luoluo would hide her wings and ears during the day, transform herself into an ordinary human being, open an ordinary tea restaurant for a month, and live a life without magic for a month.

First, I don’t want to be discovered by the same kind who occasionally come out to carry out the trial and tell the elders; second, I want to avoid too many boring human beings; third, I can earn some human money, which can be used to buy food, killing three birds with one stone.

But in the midsummer of 242 years in the Sisena mainland, Luoluo closed the shop and closed down, lying quietly on the wicker chair and reading a book, and beside her, the black cat that could only eat and love to nap was missing.

On a rainy night three days ago, the monk rushed back as usual, but this time, as he said in the letter he sent last month, he asked Luoluo to take Lulu away after attending the Aurora Celebration.

"But why? After so many years, you have always been alone, otherwise you would not have rescued the dying Lulu near Rawden City, brought her back to Tibetan Spring City, and handed her over to me to take care of her." Avoid Lulu, who was making tea, asked the monk this question with difficulty hiding her displeasure.

"She always yearns to go out and travel the world with Xiaoseng, so this time, I want to try to bring her along. What's more."

"What's more?"

"It's nothing. The monk used to be used to traveling alone, but recently, he occasionally felt lonely. If she wants to come back one day, the monk will never stop her."

Luo Luo didn't continue to argue, at this time Lu Lu came out with the brewed black tea, seeing Luo Luo's displeased expression, put the black tea on the desk, sat down, and patted Luo Luo's head comfortingly.

"It's okay, I will definitely come back to see you often."

Luoluo didn't speak, just quietly flipped through the book of potion preparation in front of her, and ignored her.From the window, we could already see more humans passing by occasionally in twos and threes. Lulu changed back into the shape of a black cat and slipped into Luoluo's arms, rubbing her head against her.

Strictly speaking, Lulu was just an ordinary cat. When the monk just picked her up, Lulu was skinny and small with bruises all over her body. She was just a hungry skinny little milk cat.

Luoluo, who was only in her 90s at the time, looked at Lulu who was weak and raised her head to look at it quietly, so she gently picked it up and took it home.

At that time, monks were already about 20 years old.However, even Luoluo couldn't figure out why, as a human being, he not only had a relationship with their old man, but could also freely enter and leave this Tibetan spring city.

"If you are going to leave in a few days, then stay with me for a few days, at least until the end of the celebration." Luoluo turned a page of the book, but still did not raise her head to look at the monk sitting opposite her.

"Since that's the case, the little monk will no longer shirk."

The monk originally had a name, but Luoluo vaguely remembered that his grandfather called him by his name, it seemed to be Yunfeng.But the monk didn't like people calling him by his name, and later Luoluo simply stopped calling him by his name, and he didn't get annoyed if only the monk called him.

Whenever the monk returned to Tibetan Spring City from the outside, he would tell her about his travels, and occasionally bring back some things from outside to her. That's how Lulu delivered them to her.

Even though it is the midsummer season in Aurora City, the temperature is still not high, especially after the evening when there is a small wind blowing, it is still a bit cold.

Luoluo locked the door of the shop and set up a barrier with magic. She called the monk and Lulu, dressed as ordinary humans, and wanted to go to the market.

I don't know when it started, Luoluo has become more and more able to accept crowded places, and in the end, she even likes it a little bit, but in most cases, she still prefers to stay in the store and read books.

Whenever human beings hold large-scale traditional events outside, Lulu always clamors to see them, and she only occasionally goes to have a look, and finds it very interesting.It's just that today, she always feels restless in her heart, so she uncharacteristically wants to go out for a stroll.

"Luoluo, you don't have to force yourself. If you don't want me to go, I don't have to."

Luoluo just smiled back at Lulu slightly, and said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with going out for a walk, not to mention that you really want to go out and travel."

"But."

Before Lulu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Luoluo: "Look, there are stalls for the celebration in front, it looks very interesting."

Even though the celebration only started three days later, various stalls have already started to be set up on the Guanxing Street near the small town of Aurora City.

All kinds of stalls are lit with lamps, and the whole street is brightly lit.Luoluo has always liked that kind of candy figurine stall, she stood in front of the stall blankly and watched the boss pinch various shapes of sugar figurines, unwilling to leave.

"Want to buy one? 2 coins will give you the shape you want."

The boss seemed to notice that Luoluo had been staring at him, and he didn't stop what he was doing and raised his head to ask her.

"No boss, I'm just looking."

"Buy one." Before Luoluo's words fell, Lulu took out two balance coins and placed them in front of the boss.

It's rare to see Lulu so generous, Luoluo burst out laughing, and she teased in a low voice: "Why are you rushing to pay the bill this time?"

"Because maybe there will be no chance to pay you in the future."

Seeing Lulu trying to make her happy, Luoluo felt mixed feelings in her heart.In fact, she couldn't say she was sad, but she wasn't happy either. It was more of a kind of worry and reluctance.

In the more than 100 years that Lulu has accompanied her to grow up, she has long regarded Lulu as her own sister, like another self.Lulu is a part of her life, a memory shared with Xiaobai, and her only family member in this human world except the monk.

"What nonsense, I will keep your things for you all the time. When you want to come back, you can come back and stay for a few more days."

"Well, if the monk is unreliable, I will definitely buy the ticket and come back without looking back."

Luoluo hugged Lulu reluctantly, people were walking on the street, but Luoluo felt that at that moment, there were only the two of them left.

"Once there is news about Xiaobai, I will tell you right away."

"Okay, take good care of yourself outside." Luoluo stroked Lulu's long black and smooth hair, and buried her head on Lulu's neck. Suddenly she wanted to cry, but there were no tears to shed.

The night in Aurora City was infinitely gentle, and the monk stood beside him, watching the reluctant Luoluo hug Lulu tightly and refused to let go, and turned around reluctantly.

"I'm sorry, Luoluo, if the little monk didn't have a lot of time, I wouldn't take her away easily, and please forgive me." The monk said this in his heart, raised his head, looked at the galaxy as bright as pearls, always squinted It's rare for a monk to smile with his eyes closed, and he didn't show a smile.
