Bab 180: Coercion, Persuasion

New year's in Grand Dominance City was extremely lively. There were fireworks and all sorts of acrobatic performances. The taverns and restaurants enjoyed a boom in business while the commoners wore their newest and most beautiful clothes. Qin Yun and Yi Xiao went everywhere in the city to enjoy the street-side snacks.

"I loved eating candied fruit when I was young." Qin Yun said with a smile as he held a stick of candied fruit. "Back in the village, I could eat a stick of it from new year's eve all the way to the fifth or sixth day of the new year. I would pluck one bead out, lick it greedily, and would fail to resist taking a tiny nibble. I would then wrap it back up! Back then, my younger sister would frequently finish the candied fruit early on. She would also request one bead from me, saying that she only wanted to eat one."

Yi Xiao stayed by his side and heard Qin Yun narrate the past.
