The whole family—Granny Li Xiang, Jiang Jianguo and his wife, Li Xiang, Jiang Cai'Er, and their three children—was enjoying a blissful time together.
This year, the New Year was still marked by various celebrations, but Li Xiang was eager to stabilize his Realm, so he went into seclusion early. Jiang Cai'Er told him not to worry. With her around, she would be sure to make the Spring Festival lively and exciting.
It's worth noting that the tradition of setting off firecrackers had been preserved.
Originally, in ancient times, firecrackers were used to drive away the Nian Beast. Later, as times changed, they were banned to protect the environment because there was no such thing as a Nian Beast.
However, with the arrival of the Apocalypse, the "Nian Beast" had reappeared. Legend had become reality.
