Chapitre 71: Chapter 65 Dare to Ask the Immortals in Heaven...

Every Lantern Festival sees the Capital City teeming with exceptional excitement.

This year is no different.

With lanterns adorning every household, their illumination at night paints each neighborhood of the Capital City in a warm, radiant glow.

The liveliness in Duke Wu'an Mansion is as usual.
