The underground city was dark, the ceiling was similar to the sky with a bright moon surrounded by shining stars. It looked like a beautiful starry night sky.
If Shen Yanxiao didn’t know that they were underground and that it was daytime outside, she might have thought that she was truly standing under the vast sky.
The twinkling stars hovered over the top of their heads, as if she could reach the stars with her hand.
“Do you like it?” Qi Xia’s voice had a trace of pampering as he smiled.
Shen Yanxiao opened her mouth. Since she came to the Barren Land, her head was full of dark clouds. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last saw a sky full of stars.
“Little Xiao, happy birthday.” Qi Xia softly looked at Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao was dumbfounded for a moment.
“Happy birthday to the City Lord!”
Numerous figures emerged from the darkness, each of their hands were holding light-congealing crystals.
In the dark underground, the light-congealing crystals in their hands looked like a fallen star.
Tang Nazhi, Yan Yu, Yang Xi and Li Xiaowei were in front of the crowd. The light-congealing crystals that they were holding in their hands were dazzling. They moved towards Shen Yanxiao and swayed the light-congealing crystals.
The light-congealing crystals were spread around her. It was too beautiful and looked like a galaxy.
“You guys…” Shen Yanxiao was shocked and delighted. She never expected that she would see such a scene.
“Oh, little idiot, you even forget your own birthday. If it wasn’t because some of us remembered it, I’m afraid that you wouldn’t even celebrate your fourteenth birthday.” Tang Nazhi rubbed Shen Yanxiao’s little head.
“How was this made?” Shen Yanxiao looked up to see the sky full of “stars” that made the underground city more beautiful.
“It is light-congealing crystal, but they were all created by Yang Xi personally. The light is dazzling, but the range of light is very small, so it looks like this.” Yan Yu chuckled before he answered Shen Yanxiao’s question.
The source of light-congealing crystals were difficult to control. Looking at the tens of thousands of light-congealing crystals on top of their heads, this should be the case. If these were normal light-congealing crystals, then the entire underground city would be lit up as if in daytime. But with Yang Xi’s hands, the light that was being emitted by the light-congealing crystals were twinkling and charming, and at the same time it did not illuminate the entire surroundings.
Shen Yanxiao didn’t know how much effort they made to create such a sky full of stars for her. She finally understood why the people in the city had always been secretive these past few days. They were actually secretly preparing such a thing, her birthday!
Even though they were busy building the city in the daytime, and only had some spare time in the evening, they still managed to create tens of thousands of light-congealing crystals and fixed their position on top of the underground city. Shen Yanxiao could feel her heart warming up due to this.
Over these past few days, they certainly did not have much time to rest. Regardless of how tired they were, they still created this beautiful scene before her.
“Thank you.” Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and felt like she couldn’t breathe.
In her past life, she was an orphan. She didn’t know when she was born, or when her birthday was. She had never experience this kind of thing before.
Hence, she became used to living without having a birthday. Yet, she had never thought that these people would care more about her than herself.
Whether it was the past, or the present, this was the first birthday that Shen Yanxiao had ever experienced in her two lifetimes. For her, this was an unforgettable moment in her life.
“You should appreciate it, or else our effort of hiding it would go to waste.” To prevent Shen Yanxiao from discovering the surprise in advance, they all did their best to avoid her.
