Chapter 298 Eyebrows Falling Off?
"Alright, alright, Oscar owes you that little golden statuette. I'll carve one for you from a radish later..." Lu Xici laughed and slapped He Zhuo on the back, almost sending him to his death.
"Get off me right now! If you don't move that 200-pound frame, are you trying to starve my sister?"
The crowd then realized what was happening and quickly made way for them.
Lu Nange walked towards the washroom: "I'll brush my teeth and wash my face first..."
Wen Qing had already turned and headed towards the kitchen: "I'll get you some porridge; it's been kept warm."
Lu Nange walked towards the bathroom, while the others went to the living room of the RV. Only Lu Beiye, Zhizhi, and the three little macaws followed behind her.
He Zhuo was still rubbing his back and grimacing: "Brother Ci, your grip is way too strong... Are you trying to send me to see my great-grandmother? Also, you're lying, I don't weigh more than 200 pounds!"
Lu Xici: "I was just patting lightly, I was holding back, otherwise with the strong genes of our Lu family, I would have broken your back..."
He Zhuo sighed, "Sigh... another day of wanting to become a member of the Lu family!"
When Lu Nange finished washing up and came to the island platform, a bowl of steaming pumpkin and millet porridge was emitting an enticing sweet aroma, and was garnished with a few red dates.
A sweet aroma rose gently with the rising steam.
Luo Xingyou smiled and waved: "Nan Nan, come here quickly, first drink some of the porridge that Sister Wen Qing cooked for you, it's so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off..."
Lu Nange blinked, then suddenly picked up on the joke: "Sister Xingyou, this porridge is so delicious it makes your eyebrows fall out? Does this porridge really make your eyebrows fall out? Then I won't drink it..."
There was a two-second silence at the island platform, followed by bursts of laughter.
Wen Qing, holding her bowl of porridge, looked at the noisy crowd with a smile in her eyes: "Now you're all like Xiao He, each one more talkative than the last."
She pushed the porridge towards Lu Nange: "Drink it while it's hot, it'll warm your stomach."
"Thank you, Sister Wenqing." Lu Nange took the porridge.
She sat down at the island counter and sipped the food slowly.
The warm porridge slid down her esophagus into her stomach, making her feel so comfortable that every pore of her body let out a satisfied sigh.
A group of people surrounded him, looking like a group of fanatics watching a giant panda eat.
After Lu Nange finished the last drop of porridge in her bowl, He Zhuo immediately asked, "Little sister, how did you do that? You got promoted twice in a row?"
Looking at He Zhuo's expression, Lu Nange remained silent for two seconds before speaking.
"Well, I just felt that the cyan color of that wind-element crystal core was particularly perfect, like the sky at 5:30 pm on a summer evening, it felt like it was about to ripen. So I first used two level four crystals as an appetizer, and then absorbed the whole thing, and bam, it reached level six!"
He Zhuo: [I feel like I've seen Mei Bao's way of speaking before...]
But he still dramatically clutched his chest: "Is this the chasm between geniuses and us mere mortals?"
Everyone...
"Be confident, remove the '们'!"
He Zhuo's eyes lit up instantly: "You mean, I'm a genius too?"
Everyone rolled their eyes dramatically. Gu Wan said, "No, we mean you're the only one who's a pure mortal!"
He Zhuo...
After Lu Nange finished showering and drying her hair, everyone dressed up again and prepared to get off the bus.
The new thermostatic hat that she received as a sign-in reward made her and Lu Beiye's outfits look like siblings—matching thermostatic boots, matching thermostatic hats, and identical color schemes.
As Chi Yanzhou manipulated the ice wall to move and create a passage, Lu Xici's gaze swept back and forth over the siblings' equipment: [Are you two ostracizing me again?]
Lu Nange and Lu Beiye immediately shook their heads frantically in unison, their similar eyes blinking rapidly, their denials occurring at the same frequency.
Lu Xici pointed to their hats: "Why are your hats different from mine?"
Lu Beiye immediately protected his hat, tilting his head back: "Brother, this is something my sister gave me, you can't ask about it!"
"Such a clever little devil." Lu Xici chuckled, flicking his younger brother's forehead lightly with his finger, then turned to Lu Nange and winked: "Nannan, I won't ask anymore."
Just then, He Zhuo turned around and shouted, "Let's go! Let's go! Before dark—" He paused, then added, "No, it's already dark! So let's hurry and get out of the city..."
Although the exit from the city was not far away, the scattered zombies and ice sculptures along the way successfully slowed everyone down, making the short journey take most of the day.
The highway is still covered by a thick layer of ice, turning it into a winding glacier.
The trees in the mountains on both sides were frozen into crystal-clear ice sculptures, with branches covered with naturally formed icicles that reflected a cold, bluish light in the dim light of the polar night.
Several abandoned cars, like specimens encased in giant amber, are frozen in the middle of the road in an eternal manner.
Lu Nange's mental energy swept the surroundings like a radar. After confirming that it was safe, she moved her fingertips slightly, and the RV appeared out of thin air on the ice.
As soon as they got in the car, Gu Wan and the others stomped their feet repeatedly, as if trying to stomp away all the cold air from their feet.
Only after they regained feeling in their hands and feet did everyone begin to frantically take off their heavy winter clothes...
"Is it just my imagination?" Gu Wan said, rubbing her hands together. "Why does it feel like it's getting colder and colder? Even my fur gloves aren't keeping me warm anymore..."
He Zhuo pointed to the temperature recorder on the wall, his face saying, "You're not alone." "It turns out your senses are quite accurate."
Gu Qi: "The outside temperature is actually six degrees lower than yesterday..."
The siblings, Lu Nange and Lu Nange, who were wearing temperature-controlled equipment, didn't feel anything.
As soon as they got in the car, Lu Nange busied herself at the island counter, filling each cup with warm water: "Drink some hot water to warm up first; you can't take a shower right now."
Thank you, Nan Nan!
"Thank you, little sister~"
Everyone thanked them in unison, holding their warm cups and gathering around the island counter, the rising steam blurring their smiling faces.
Lu Nange sipped her hot water: "If the temperature keeps dropping like this... let's not get off the bus for a while."
"Yeah, if it gets any colder, we'll probably freeze if we get out of the car and walk a few steps."
"A walking popsicle..."
Chi Yanzhou gazed at the icy highway outside the window: "The next stop is Beijing."
"We're just one step away from overcoming these eighty-one tribulations!" He Zhuo said, shaking his head.
Gu Qi: "You really want to be the second senior brother that badly?"
"Ignorance is truly terrifying!" He Zhuo jumped up and down: "This is a metaphor! Do you understand a metaphor? It's a metaphor used by the pilgrimage team!"
Wen Qing stared blankly at the shimmering water in her glass, and asked in a low voice, "I wonder how my family is doing now..."
Gu Wan: "Don't worry, Sister Wenqing. We'll help you search when we get to Beijing. We'll definitely find it."
"I'm afraid they've already..." Wen Qing's voice trembled slightly.
