After a day of working awkwardly in the fields, Xie Lian came back to Puqi Shrine. His mind was still hazed. Then, Hua Cheng came in. The two seemed to be caught off guard, appearing surprised when they saw each other.

"Ah, San Lang. Have you finished?"

"Ah.. Yes."

Xie Lian wanted to strangle himself after asking Hua Cheng if he had finished. Didn't he just witness Hua Cheng finish planting three large fields all by himself? And, didn't Xie Lian come back to rest in the Puqi Shrine even though he had only finished a field because Hua Cheng had told him to rest? Xie Lian couldn't believe how he could ask such a question so shamelessly.

Then, in the midst of all the awkwardness, Wei Ying entered the shrine. He saw his two fathers looking away from each other. He immediately realized that the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

*Cough* "I think it's time. Shall we go now? It's going to be late if we continue on at this pace." Wei Ying said, breaking the silence.

Xie Lian, "Yes. Yes, we should go now."

Hearing this, Hua Cheng took out two red dice from his sleeve. "Shall we go then?"

Then, the three of them disappeared from the Puqi Shrine.

In Ghost City, the Paradise Manor.

The whole manor was engulfed in darkness. However, you could still detect some movement.

Xie Lian whispered, "Are all the preparations ready?"

Wei Ying answered in a similar whisper, "Yes, yes. It's all ready now."

Hua Cheng cleared his throat. "Then on the count of three."

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHER!🎊🎊💐🎉💕🌸💮🌼✨✨"

With a bang, the lights were ignited and dozens of colorful confetti started to rain down from the ceiling. Wei Ying was standing in the middle of the crowd holding a big cake 🎂, and Xie Lian and Hua Cheng stood on either side of him. On one side of them were Feng Xin, Mu Qing and the three tumors; Pei Ming, Ling Wen and Shi Wudu. Then on the other side stood Yushi Huang with her black ox and Banyue with Pei Su. There were also the twins, Xiu Li and Xiu Si. Shi Qingxuan and Ming Yi were also at the party, although Ming Yi has already started eating.

And although it made no sense that they were here, [because the author invited them.😅😅🤭]

The twin jades of GusuLan, Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji, the siblings from YunmengJiang; Jiang Yanli and Jiang Wanyin, then the young master from LanlingJin, Jin Zixuan, are also here.

The maids and the guards were all standing behind them, some wearing party hats 🥳 and some holding balloons🎈🎈.

Wei Ying says with a big smile, "Sher-Guniang, Thank you so much for your hard work. Happy Birthday to you. 🎂"

Xie Lian also says with a smile, "Thanks so much to Miss Sher for helping the author with the proofreading work and editing work. We prepared a small celebration for you, today. I hope you enjoy it."

"Happy Birthday. The author appreciates your work." Hua Cheng says. Although he is only giving a smirk, his eye says he is enjoying the party. (ME TOO, ME TOO *shakes hand excitedly* -sher)

Feng Xin comes forward, "Happy Birthda-." Then Mu Qing passes him, "Happy Birthday."

"Oi, I was speaking."

"Now, I'm speaking."

Xie Lian, "Ahem."

Only then did Feng Xin and Mu Qing refrain from further pulling each other's collar. The two also felt a deathly glare from Hua Cheng so they shut their mouths. (yes fafa u go -sher) ""Happy Birthday""

Coincidentally, they said at the same time and continued to bicker with each other.

Shi Wudu takes out a red envelope 🧧 in a gesture that he is giving pocket money to the Birthday girl, "Happy Birthday."

Pei Ming also says loudly, "Happy Birthday to Little Sher. How old did you become this year? You've become much prettier. Ah!"

"Stop hitting on the kid. You shameless old man," Ling Wen said as he hit Pei Ming on his head.

"When did I ever hit on her?? I just said she's beautiful!" (the person you are calling is not available. please try again later. -sher)

"Don't mind the frivolous god, Little Sher. Happy Birthday to you." Ling Wen said, ignoring Pei Ming. Ling Wen looks a little haggard and seems like he just rushed out of his office but he is with a gentle smile, looking as handsome as ever.

"Ming-xiong, Ming-xiong! Stop eating for a bit and congratulate Little Sher on her Birthday!" Shi Qingxuan starts to tug at Ming Yi who is putting another dumpling 🥟 into his mouth.

"-appi barhday" (Happy Birthday), Ming Yi said with a mouthful.

"Aiya. Can't you say it more politely?? Ahaha, Little Sher, please don't mind Ming-xiong. He's just a little too hungry today. And Happy Birthday!! You look so beautiful today! 😍 I'm sure all the best is waiting for you this year. May you be healthy and happy, and be rich and beautiful!"

(the system has malfunctioned. you are now talking to the AI service while the system reboots.)

Then, Yushi Huang comes with a lot of bags on her black ox.

"Happy Birthday." She says, with a voice as gentle as always.

"These are the Birthday gifts from us," Banyue follows the sentence as she puts down the several bags on the ox. "These are the vegetables from Yushi Country. I hope you enjoy it, Miss Sher. And Happy Birthday to you."

"Happy Birthday," Pei Su said along with Banyue.

After that comes the two beautiful young men with fluttering white robes. The one who seems to be a bit older cups his hand at this front as he says with a bright smile, "Congratulations on your Birthday, Sher-Guniang. May your Birthday be filled with happiness."

The younger one seems to be glancing at another boy holding a cake 🎂 but he quickly recovers as he also says, "Congratulations on your Birthday, Sher-Guniang."

Then the siblings wearing similar purple robes and a young boy wearing light golden robes came.

The elegant girl who seems to be the eldest of the three says, "Happy Birthday to you, Miss Sher. I hope you have a wonderful time. And may heaven officials' blessings be with you."

The younger two boys, one in purple robes and one in golden robes seem to be fighting each other through their eyes. However, they both turned at the same time as they both said at the same time, ""Happy Birthday, Miss Sher."" Then, the two went on to bicker with each other.

Xiu Li and Xiu Si came with a different color of pointed hat on each of their heads, "Happy Birthday to you, Miss Sher. We wish you the best in the coming year."

"BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MISS SHER, WHO HAS BEEN THE BEST PROOFREADER OF THE STORY!!"

"YEAH! WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE. ONLY THE BEST FOR MISS SHER!"

"MISS SHER IS THE BEST!"

The ghosts of Ghost city also begin to shout what they have been intending to shout the whole time as well.

Wei Ying, "NOW LET'S PARTY!"

The time becomes merry and the whole Ghost City begins to celebrate the joyous occasion. The sky of Ghost City is dark red but it enlivens even more beautifully with colorful fireworks exploding 🎇🎇🎆🎆. Everyone in the streets sings songs 🎶🎶 and dances 💃💃 according to the songs to celebrate. There is also plenty of food and drinks for everyone. They all have a merry time at Miss Sher's Birthday Party.

And last but not least, this author also wants to say,

"Happy Birthday, Xiao Meimei.🥳🥳🥳 I hope you like the Birthday Gift I prepared. This was the only surprise I could think of. I hope you like it.

And Congratulations on becoming one year older. My Xiao Meimei has reached four years old today. I can't be more proud.🤧

And also, thank you so much for your continued support and being the best Meimei ever.
