When the timer in his mind pointed to midnight, the eight-year-old Zhang Xing opened his throat in the dark night, "Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to me! "
The melody was beautiful and the voice was intoxicating. The whole world quieted down as if it was inviting him to sing and celebrate his birthday.
"Who is it?
Who is not sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you shouting? Aren't you afraid of attracting the snow wolves? "
An angry voice interrupted Zhang Xing's self-indulgence.
Uh!
Zhang Xing was taken aback. Even in the middle of nowhere, there were neighbors!
Looking in the direction of the voice, a petite figure appeared at the top of a tree in front of him.
Before Zhang Xing could say anything, the figure had already descended from the sky.
"Whose child are you? Did you sneak out to play in the middle of the night?"
He questioned Zhang Xing in a grown-up tone the moment he arrived.
The voice was crisp and pleasant. It was like a warm current in the cold winter night.
Zhang Xing looked over. It was a beautiful girl. She was not very old, probably twelve or thirteen years old.
What attracted his attention was the black robe. It was obviously an Imperial Artifact that could hide one's aura. Otherwise, he would have been discovered long ago.
"Did you sneak out from home too?"
Zhang Xing scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense and did not find anyone else. He understood the meaning of the girl's words and asked tentatively.
"Hmph!
You're smart. I didn't know you were so brave. "
The girl wrinkled her nose and stared at Zhang Xing's face as if she was looking at something strange.
"What's your name?
Which family are you from? "
"Aren't you afraid to come out to play alone?"
The girl continued to ask.
"My name is Zhang Xing. I'm the young master of the Zhang family, the number one family in the Starry Sky Empire."
"Because I've been brave since I was a child, people in the jianghu gave me the nickname 'Zhang Daring'."
Zhang Xing teased the girl with a smile.
"Oh, no wonder you dare to come out to play in the middle of the night. It's so boring in your own family's territory. Everyone knows you and the people in your family secretly protect you."
"No matter where you go, there's no danger. Maybe there's an expert from your family watching you in secret."
"Hehe!
Zhang Dadan is an interesting nickname. I'll call you that from now on. "
"Oh, by the way, my name is Na Bao. I'm not going to tell you about my background. I'm afraid I'll scare you."
Zhang Xing listened to Na Bao's chatter with great interest. Her little mouth didn't stop moving, just like a lark.
This girl was not from the Starry Sky Empire, nor was she from the surrounding second-class countries. Otherwise, she would not have said that she was afraid of scaring him.
Judging from Na Bao's noble aura and the fact that she had an Emperor Weapon, she must be the little princess of a big family in a third-tier country.
However, she was inexperienced and as pure as a piece of white paper.
Moreover, from her words, he could tell that she had sneaked out to play more than once or twice. She must have done it often.
"Na Bao, it's very cold here. There's nothing fun here. Do you want to come to my house to play?"
Zhang Xing realized that the way he spoke made him sound like a big bad wolf.
"I'm not going. Your family will definitely be annoyed. They'll definitely ask me this and that. I'm not going."
"Why don't you run away from home with me? We'll go to another country to play."
Na Bao rolled her eyes and came up with what she thought was a brilliant idea.
"Sure, I'm also planning to go to other cities to play …"
Zhang Xing stopped and frowned. He looked at the Winter Pine Tree not far away in confusion.
"Zhang Dadan, what's wrong?"
Na Bao noticed that Zhang Xing was acting strangely and asked.
"Hehe!
Miss Na Bao, you're not going anywhere. Be good and come with me! "
At this moment, a gloomy voice interrupted their conversation.
