After returning home, Rita once again retreated into her "closed-door cultivation mode." She focused on crafting [Spring Not Late], [Gold-Class Assassin], and [Melting Time], while simultaneously using lightning energy to ignite her orange-red wings.
It wasn't until the morning of December 31st that she finally found some downtime. She planned to prepare a feast for New Year's Eve, not just for herself and Nivalis, but also for the cats in the backyard.
From the moment she woke up, her message inbox wouldn't stop pinging.
Messages came from Yu Qingshan, Scarlett, and Rick. The first two invited her and Rick to reunite in B City, while Rick simply sent a close-up photo of Black Jade in their group chat.
In turn, Rita invited the two of them to come to S City. However, it seemed like those two had either snuck into yet another faction or shamelessly bothered Shen Yushi again. They directly replied that they weren't coming and would revisit the idea next year.
