Chapter 333: Chapter 333

Ding Fan took Ye Ningqing by the hand and led her to the window.

By this time, a waiter had already begun slowly drawing the curtains open. Ding Fan then took out his phone and dialed a number.

Everyone present was eagerly anticipating what kind of birthday gift Ding Fan was about to give Ye Ningqing.

About ten or so seconds later, a helicopter slowly approached, trailing a long banner behind it.

The words on the banner had clearly been treated so that, although it had gone completely dark outside, the letters on the banner still shone brightly, visible to those below.

On the banner read: Ye Ningqing, Happy Birthday!

Wow—what a spectacle! Everyone who saw it could hardly close their mouths in surprise.

This was Yanjing, the capital of Huaxia Country. Getting authorization for a flight here required significant effort and was not something that could be achieved with just money.

Ding Fan had actually arranged for a military helicopter to fly over and send his blessings to Ye Ningqing...

The women at the scene cast envious glances at Ye Ningqing.

It was overwhelmingly romantic; many women wished they could be the heroine standing beside Ding Fan at that moment.

Sitting in the corner, Zhao Liren also gaped in astonishment. Even with his wealth, he definitely could not manage to mobilize a helicopter.

Seeing this, Zhao Liren realized why Ye Ningqing hadn't been impressed by his large diamond. It turns out she was now involved with someone even more formidable.

Looking at today's guests, looking at today's scene...

Zhao Liren regretted acting idiotically before, trying to show off with a single diamond; as valuable as it was, it couldn't create the impact that Ding Fan had just made.

Ye Ningqing too was shocked, her eyes wide open, she being a military person, was well aware of how many connections it would take to use a helicopter in Yanjing to convey such a blessing.

"Brother Fan... thank you..."

Ye Ningqing's eyes misted over with tears.

Having Ding Fan attend her birthday party had already made her very happy, and now he had created such a heartwarmingly romantic gesture that made her feel so warm inside...

"The real show hasn't even started," Ding Fan said with a smile to Ye Ningqing.

Ye Ningqing was startled; the helicopter had already arrived, what more could there be?

While Ye Ningqing was still bewildered, the helicopter circled in the air before gradually flying away.

Just then, a rocket of fireworks soared directly into the sky,

Bang... the fireworks exploded midair.

All the spectators gasped at the sight, their eyes wide open to not miss a moment of the spectacle before them.

What amazed them were of course the fireworks. After exploding in midair, amidst the dazzling array of colors, a large character 'Ye' suddenly appeared.

Before the character 'Ye' even faded, another firework shot up into the sky, and with a loud bang, the character 'Ning' appeared... then one after another, the characters appeared in the night sky.

'Happy Birthday Ye Ningqing'

As people marveled at the colorful and brilliant fireworks forming characters, a rapid succession of fireworks shot up again.

The row of fireworks illuminated the night sky, making it as bright as day. Amidst this fiery brilliance, the seemingly random and dispersed fireworks above gradually converged. Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, they formed a picture.

Yes! A picture! A picture formed by fireworks in the sky.

In the picture, there was the profile of a young girl. Although it was just a profile, everyone could clearly see that it was indeed Ye Ningqing's.

"Wow, it's simply beautiful..."

"I'm moved. If a guy did this for me, I wouldn't mind sleeping with him right now!"

"I'm so envious, so romantic..."

Watching Ye Ningqing's profile in the sky, a group of young women at the banquet hall exclaimed in waves.

In the movies they had seen many romantic scenes, but the scene before them was perhaps the most romantic they had ever witnessed.

Ye Ningqing watched as the fireworks created one beautiful image after another in the sky. Her tears began to fall ceaselessly, feeling Ding Fan holding her small hand, her heart was filled with warmth and a sense of happiness permeated.

With a final loud bang, a huge firework exploded midair, displaying a large lotus flower in the sky.

Seeing that lotus flower, Ye Ningqing's heart stirred; those familiar with Ye Ningqing knew that she loved lotus flowers, and Ding Fan's decision to end with a lotus flower showed his meticulous care and consideration.

Just when everyone thought the fireworks display had ended, the helicopter flew back, casting two strong lights upon the massive lotus flower above.

For a moment, the area around the lotus was aglow with shimmering lights, looking as if filled with an immortal aura...

Clap clap clap... Clap clap...

It was unclear who started it, but soon everyone in the small fishing village was clapping along.

"How do you feel, happy?" Ding Fan asked Ye Ningqing who was beside him.

Ye Ningqing's eyes twinkled attractively as she slightly lifted her beautiful face.

From Ding Fan's perspective, tears marked Ye Ningqing's eyes, making her appear even more delicate and exquisite, like a lotus fresh out of water...

"Brother Fan, this is the happiest birthday I have ever had, I will remember it for my entire life..." Ye Ningqing said, looking at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan smiled and gently patted Ye Ningqing's head.

Back in Changling, although Ding Fan had saved Ye Ningqing, at the moment of his enlightenment, Ye Ningqing had been willing to sacrifice herself to protect him...

Also, when Ye Qingyun wanted to kill him, Ye Ningqing had unhesitatingly stood by his side.

For all these reasons, what was this little act for her?

At that moment, the music started. Mu Zi announced the beginning of the dance in a very timely manner.

The people present found their partners and gracefully began dancing in the middle of the dance floor...

Many prominent figures had come to Ye Ningqing's birthday party today, and they were quite elderly. Naturally, Ding Fan could not have them join the young people in the rowdy fun outside.

So, Ding Fan opened a private room.

Elder Shen, Elder Mu, Qin Manshu, Lin Qingqing, and both Ma Xiaochuan and Mary entered the room, while Ye Ningqing and Mu Zi stayed outside to manage the birthday banquet.

Once inside, Ding Fan ordered a table of liquor and dishes. While the people outside were eating buffets, he couldn't possibly expect these older folks to stand out there eating from plates as well.

"Brother Fan, those fireworks were so beautiful, I've never seen anything like them before in my life... so beautiful!" Mary said, still not over the fireworks Ding Fan had set off.

He had made those fireworks himself.

For a cultivator like him, creating runic symbols and refining medicine pills was all too common, so making fireworks was, frankly, exceedingly simple.

In the Cultivation World, fireworks had been invented unintentionally by cultivators.

Everyone was there to support Ding Fan, so naturally, he had to toast everyone.

With True Qi at his command, he wasn't worried about getting drunk, so he promptly filled his cup and began toasting everyone. After this round of toasting, Ding Fan had finished off a bottle of Moutai himself.

However, Ding Fan didn't mind. When others came to toast him, he didn't refuse at all. Soon, the table was lively with toasts and laughter, and everyone was enjoying their drinks.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, Ma Xiaochuan raised his cup again.

"Young Master Ding, I am here today for two reasons: firstly, to celebrate Ningqing's birthday, and secondly, I have a favor to ask of you," Ma Xiaochuan said.

Ma Xiaochuan was an influential figure, the head of all banks in Huaxia Country. Now, he was asking Ding Fan for a favor, which immediately drew everyone's attention.

"If it's not too much trouble, I might be able to help," Ding Fan said. Dıscover more novels at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱

Ding Fan was soon headed to Longxi, so his schedule was quite tight now.

"What I'm about to say might seem fantastical... My father was an archaeologist, and thirty years ago, he went to Zhangjiajie and allegedly entered a forbidden area with a team... And since then, my father never came out."

Ding Fan frowned slightly. "Thirty years ago? Mr. Ma, I think it's unlikely that your father is still alive."

Ma Xiaochuan nodded. "Indeed, he isn't, but ever since I was young, my father always ingrained in me, and it bothers me to think of his body lying unclaimed in the wilderness. I would like to ask you, Young Master Ding, if you could help me retrieve my father's remains."

Elder Shen and Elder Mu quickly realized why Ma Xiaochuan turned to Ding Fan.

Ma Xiaochuan was a shrewd man. Ding Fan had previously defeated Ye Qingyun of the Ye Family, and this display of strength must have impressed Ma Xiaochuan.

Ding Fan pondered it over.

"Brother Fan, my dad won't let you do this for nothing. If you help retrieve my grandfather's remains, aside from a generous reward, my dad will also give you a treasure," Mary said from the side.

Ding Fan glanced at Mary.

Considering Ma Xiaochuan said his father had been an adventurer, it was possible that he might have obtained some treasures.

"It's a diamond that can automatically alter its temperature based on the surrounding environment! At its hottest, it can cook meat, and at its coldest, thrown into a bowl of water, it can freeze the water."

Ding Fan was visibly shocked.

Could it be the Dingkun Stone?
