Chapter 67: Power Outage on New Year's Eve
Xie Yihuang gave his father a big thumbs-up, and her mother's anger dissipated as she declared, "I'll give you an extra chicken head at dinner tonight."
"Thank you, wife," her father replied, exasperated. "I always get the chicken head every year anyway."
"It's good luck to have smooth sailing from head to tail," her mother retorted. "Look at how well things have gone for you these past few years."
It was just a saying; it had nothing to do with eating chicken heads. But since she said it, her father had no choice but to accept.
Here in Fengdu, the city of spirits, the countless graves lining the streets served as homes for these wandering souls.
But just as the words left his mouth, a loud rumbling from his stomach betrayed his hunger. Huo Lanyan's face flushed even redder. Was this what people meant when they talked about failing at the crucial moment?
Yang Chen shared his upcoming trip to the LOS headquarters with Sun Long, hoping to distract him. Sure enough, Sun Long was drawn into this new train of thought by Yang Chen's words.
"Gu Yan wants to rule the airport, so this round he'll probably drop at N Port or a spot with vehicles and head toward the airport," Brother Ang analyzed.
"In my opinion, Eighth Brother is quite right. We should seize the time to build ships and train soldiers. If we delay, Zhang the Rebel will only grow stronger and become a major threat," the Fourth Prince stepped forward to declare.
Since no one seemed to care, Zhang Shichuan decided it was better to stay uninvolved. He didn't visit the new county magistrate; if the newcomer turned out to be another sycophant and tried to gift him a Lin Ying'er or a Huang Ying'er, it would only be awkward.
Unfortunately, Liu Yan responded so swiftly that by the time his army reached Wuyang County and continued south toward Nan'an, he received the dreadful news midway: Nan'an had already fallen.
Both streamers' fans hoped their favorite would take up the sniper rifle and take down the other.
"You're still too young. There are countless things in the Heavenly Palace you know nothing about. Let me, the Old Matchmaker, show you around," he said, lowering his voice and whispering secrets.
Although Huang Wushang had only reached the mid-stage Martial Emperor level, he was no ordinary martial artist. He unleashed the Battle Heaven Technique with lightning speed, his physical strength far surpassing that of any Martial God. Faced with the descending battle axe, he confronted it barehanded.
Qionglian and Hou Yi sighed in resignation, the Church and the vampires trembled in fear, while Feng Congsheng and Gais laughed with delight.
The more I thought about it, the more anguished I became. Tears streamed from my eyes like a flood breaking through a dam.
At last, when he realized that with his cultivation he could never catch up to the pair, even if he chased them to the point of collapse, the monk Tang Seng finally gave up, flying slowly back toward the group of the plump Daoist and the others, his expression graver than ever before.
Hou Yi was suddenly reminded that after merging with Qiongniao, he had not only gained new archery skills but could also understand all living creatures. He had simply never paid attention to it.
The Blood Fiend King grinned savagely, unable to wait to see the look of utter despair on You Ruian's face.
"Since Lord Wu Tong is willing to enlighten me, nothing could be better," Nalan Tianyue nodded calmly.
But she had never forgotten that everything she had now was thanks to Nalan Tianyue. So when she heard Nalan Tianyue was coming to the Fox Clan, she personally went to greet her.
"Incredible, this is the first time I've witnessed how to kill the Lord of the Underworld. Truly enlightening," Xiao Xiao said with a smile, giving Wosang a thumbs-up. Whatever the case, they had survived, and the Lord of the Underworld had been slain.
Moving the phone away from his ear, he took a deep breath of the air around him, his handsome face tense as charcoal. He had to admit it: he was afraid, and he was running away.
Master Yi then succinctly explained the situation to everyone present.
Ye Xiang cooked while thinking about the time she felt ill when approaching the shrine at Moyang Base where the stone spirit baby was.
"Baby, can these plants be stored in the space?" Ye Xiang asked, trying to communicate with the baby using her mind. She wasn't confident herself, but the baby would surely know if it was possible.
