The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

How everything changed upon returning.

Everywhere she could see, except the road, was covered in flowers.

Pink, white, light red, and pale purple, countless of them, forming a continuous expanse.

In the open space, it stretched as far as the eye could see.

By the building, the ground was covered, reaching up to about two meters high, like a climbing ivy.

The building was also adorned with small night lights, piece by piece, resembling many stars in the sky.

Chasing away some of the darkness.

The car continued driving in.

Wherever the car passed, Qiao Yuxian saw was all opulence and twinkling stars.

Even further in, among the rows of flower beds, small night lights were placed too.

Each piece captured the varying beauty of different flowers.

Qiao Yuxian gazed at everything before her.

It all felt somewhat dreamy and surreal. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She stared blankly for a while.

Turning her head, she looked at Gu Yanjing: "We’re not mistaken? This is the Twelfth Floor, right?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing glanced at the butterfly hairpin swaying atop her head.

Qiao Yuxian asked, "How was this achieved?"

The Twelfth Floor is so big.

They were only out for a few hours, how was it arranged like this?

So many flowers, in countless numbers.

It’s still a bit cold in M Continent, where did they get so many flowers?

"Lots of people." Gu Yanjing said these two words simply.

How many people are ’lots’?

Qiao Yuxian still couldn’t imagine how huge this project was.

She looked at Gu Yanjing in shock.

After a while, she broke into a smile and said, "So beautiful."

"Do you like it?" Gu Yanjing stroked her cheek and asked.

"Absolutely love it." Qiao Yuxian said, "Absolutely, absolutely love it."

Then, the car stopped in front of a building, Qiao Yuxian impatiently pushed the door open and got out.

She bent down to touch the flowers beside her.

They were all real.

And the color coordination was quite meticulous.

Layered yet not chaotic.

The little night lights twinkled, showcasing the beauty in different areas.

Qiao Yuxian looked at all of this, her eyes sparkling.

After a while, she stood up straight and said, "Quick, quick, take a few pictures of me."

Gu Yanjing took out his phone.

Qiao Yuxian posed in various ways, moved to different spots.

Gu Yanjing followed her, finding angles, and took photos.

Qiao Yuxian changed numerous spots, taking photos for over half an hour.

Then, she asked the people following them to take some of her and Gu Yanjing together.

By the time they finished taking pictures, it was almost midnight.

Gu Yanjing didn’t rush her, waiting for her to finish before accompanying her into the building.

By the time they reached upstairs, it was already past midnight.

Qiao Yuxian was so happy, she completely forgot the time, holding Gu Yanjing’s phone, looking at her photos.

Gu Yanjing gently placed his hand at the back of her neck, guiding her forward.

Without looking at the path, she let him lead her, completely unaware of how many floors the elevator passed.

Reaching the top floor, Gu Yanjing led her out of the elevator.

He took her to the room’s door and pushed it open.

While Qiao Yuxian had her head down, still admiring the beautiful photos of her and Gu Yanjing.

Glancing inside, she suddenly noticed the interior arrangement.

She raised her head and looked around.

The shock in her eyes slowly emerged.

The outside was already overwhelming for her.

Inside was even more mind-blowing for a thousand years.

What is this room full of golden glow?

Qiao Yuxian looked at everything before her, slightly stiff.

This room wasn’t large, about two hundred square meters.

In the center was a round platform made of flowers and grass, about two meters in diameter.

Around the round platform were some fresh flowers.

Beyond the flowers were red banknotes.

Each note rolled up, shaped into flowers, placed around the fresh flowers.

And on the peripheral of the banknotes.

Each rolled-up note had a diamond on top.

So many, it was impossible to count.

In the light, Qiao Yuxian found it extremely dazzling.

As she kept looking towards the walls... it was the golden glow Qiao Yuxian had seen.

Gold.

First, flowers made of gold.

Shaped like roses.

Further out were gold ingots.

Heavy gold ingots.

And lastly, up to the walls, laid with gold bricks.

Qiao Yuxian couldn’t see anything else before her eyes.

It was all...

Money! Money! Money!!!

Gu Yanjing saw her dazing, and pressed her hair gently.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him.

Her eyes wide open, unable to believe it all.

Gu Yanjing pinched her cheek again and said, "Happy Birthday."

Qiao Yuxian was still in a daze, muttering, "It’s my birthday?"

"After midnight," Gu Yanjing said.

"Oh." Qiao Yuxian nodded mechanically and asked again, "These are... my birthday gifts?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said, taking a document from the only cabinet at the door and handing it to her, "And this."
