Mo Xiuyao was silent for a long time before asking, “When do you plan to go on strike?”

“I don’t know. Maybe after spring comes,” Song Zhi replied lazily. Thanks to the blessing of these few months of cultivation, even if she did not practice dual cultivation with Mo Xiuyao in the future, the Gu poison would not act up for a while, so she had plenty of time to be lazy… Ah, no, she was waiting for the arrival of spring.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi sighed. Seeing that Mo Xiuyao had not left, she looked at him sadly. “Time feels like it moves slower when we’re in pain, right, Sir Demon Lord?”

Demon Lord turned around and left. Song Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. She turned over and wanted to continue lying on the bed. She even secretly took out two snacks from the small box under her pillow. When she heard that there was still more than a month before spring came, she was really shocked, so she asked Mo Xiuyao to settle his lunch and dinner by himself.

However, after lying down for so long, her sadness had long disappeared, and what replaced it was the joy of doing nothing. It was too time-consuming to cook three meals a day, so much so that she had almost forgotten how it felt to lie down for an entire day. Now that she had a rare opportunity to enjoy herself, she naturally would not let it go.

“This feels good…” Song Zhi buried her face in the goose-down blanket, sighing that humans were really ungrateful creatures. When she did not have much time left, she always thought of running, wanted to see more of the world, and filled up every minute and second. However, once she was sure that she could live to a hundred years old or even longer, she just wanted to not waste her time doing anything.

In Song Zhi’s plan, she could slack off for at least half a month this time. Then, she will pretend to be strong in front of Mo Xiuyao, pretending that she had reluctantly ended her sadness for him, and haggle with him, using a sumptuous meal in exchange for a cultivation session. She had even thought of what to say when the time came.

In the end, on the morning of the third day, Mo Xiuyao appeared in the tent. Song Zhi could only adjust her sad expression. “Cough, cough, I said I’d wait until spring…”

“Spring has arrived.” Mo Xiuyao interrupted her expressionlessly, and Song Zhi choked.

“It can’t be?”

“Come out.” Mo Xiuyao glanced at her and turned to walk out. Song Zhi recalled the heavy snow three days ago, which almost turned the entire Demon’s Note Valley White. She did not believe that spring would come so soon. She touched her nose and followed Mo Xiuyao out with a suspicious look. However, the moment she reached the door, she smelled a sweet fragrance. She was stunned for a moment and looked up. She saw that the snow had disappeared, the forest was green, and countless wildflowers were in full bloom. The small flowers were the size of a coin, and they were colorful. The spring in the Demon’s Note Valley was more beautiful than she had imagined.

“Is this the spring you wanted?” Mo Xiuyao leaned lazily against a tree.

Song Zhi blinked her eyes and laughed. “What are you saying? if I say that it’s not what I want, will you change it to another spring for me?”

Mo Xiuyao glanced at her and did not speak. Song Zhi looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and felt a little regretful that her holiday was gone just like that. However, when she felt the moisture in the air, she felt inexplicably good. Yes… Overall, they were still in a good mood since spring had arrived!

Mo Xiuyao saw that Song Zhi was still standing there stupidly and said unhurriedly, “Do you know what you should be doing?”

Song Zhi plucked a wildflower and pinned it on Mo Xiuyao’s collar. “I know, I’m going to cook.”

“That’s not right.” Mo Xiuyao took the wildflower down and played with it casually in his hand. “You should go walk around.”

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then she saluted Mo Xiuyao. “Thank you, Sir Demon Lord!”

Mo Xiuyao’s mouth twitched and he returned the wildflowers to Song Zhi.

It was not easy for her to wait until spring. The first spring outing had to be formal. Hence, Song Zhi carefully chose a small open space with a good view and took out an unused bed sheet from her Cosmos Bag. She also made some fruit tea and snacks. After laying out the bed sheet, she placed the things up one by one. Mo Xiuyao watched her work from the side. It was not until the last plate of snacks was ready that he said unhurriedly, “The walk you mentioned… Is it just a change of location for eating?”

“You can say so.” Song Zhi called Mo Xiuyao over to sit on the bed.

Mo Xiuyao stood still and commented, “That’s unnecessary.”

Song Zhi ignored him and pulled Mo Xiuyao to sit on the bed. Mo Xiuyao frowned unhappily, and in the next second, his mouth was stuffed with french fries. The fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The light texture and the sweet and sour sauce were just right.
