Chapter 68: Western Fantasy Traveling Through Long Aotian (Three in One)
Well, that does make sense.
Long Lingnan met the golden snake's pleading gaze, thought for a moment, and decided to put the matter aside for the time being and deal with what the golden snake was asking for first.
She touched a soft and elastic snake egg with her fingertips, extending her perception to find out the situation of the little snake inside.
The little snake inside the egg has taken shape, but it has not yet hatched. No wonder the golden snake is so anxious.
Long Lingnan withdrew his hand, and understood in his heart that these three snake eggs must have been laid for quite some time. The vitality of the little snakes inside was like a candle in the wind, and they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
but……
Seeing Long Lingnan frowning and thinking silently, Long Haoyu asked: "Why, is it difficult to handle?"
If my sister can't do anything about it, then these three snake eggs may be beyond the reach of even gods.
Long Haoyu thought so, but his eyes were calm.
"It's really difficult," Long Lingnan shook his head. "The reason these three eggs can't hatch is because the energy they absorbed is too pure and too much."
"The embryo already contains a trace of innate energy, making it extremely easy to shape. Influenced day and night by this inner elixir, it is indeed evolving towards a higher level of life. However," Long Lingnan sighed and said tactfully, "the shackles of bloodline are not so easily broken."
It's so difficult.
Simply put, the Golden Snake has a loving motherly heart and wants her child to have a higher starting point. This starting point is good, but snake eggs are weak and cannot be nourished. If they are raised too well, it is easy for... the fetus to die in the egg.
The golden snake obviously understood what was said. It froze as if struck by lightning. It couldn't believe that it had killed its own children. It used its body to circle the three eggs together, and looked at the unborn children with sorrow in its eyes.
It hissed softly. If snakes did not have tear glands, it would have been crying profusely at this moment.
"...But there is a solution." Long Lingnan looked up from his thoughts, not noticing the sadness on Jinshe's face as he thought his child had been sentenced to death.
Hearing Long Lingnan's words, the golden snake raised its head instantly. It crawled in front of Long Lingnan at a rapid speed, held its head high and looked at Long Lingnan with hope. It wanted to rub its head against Long Lingnan's calf but didn't dare.
Long Lingnan continued, "But this method only has a slight chance of survival. Whether or not they can survive depends on your children themselves."
She looked down at the golden snake, waiting for its decision.
The tip of the golden snake's tail trembled slightly, but it still nodded without hesitation. If it had not really tried all its methods, why would it rush over as soon as it sensed the breath of a higher race? If it used its methods, there would still be a glimmer of hope. If it didn't, its children would not even have this slightest chance.
Long Lingnan carefully examined the eggs one by one, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The golden snake clearly leaned towards the golden dragon lineage, but its three children were all different. Was it the influence of the father's bloodline?
There are three snake eggs, one is of water, one is of fire, and the last one inherited the blood of the golden snake, with the five elements in its body balanced.
She pulled Long Zixuan, who looked as if he had nothing to do with her, over to her. After thinking for a moment, she took Long Haoyu's wrist and brought him to her other side, saying seriously:
"High concentrations of dragon blood might help them, but whether they can survive the burning of dragon poison depends entirely on their luck."
Long Zixuan understood: "Royal sister, you mean to take them as dragon servants, right?"
Dragon Servant, what is this?
When he heard a new term, Long Haoyu stopped yawning, lowered his head to look at the two little guys, and thought quietly: Great, they opened the team channel and blocked him.
Although Long Haoyu felt a little unhappy because he felt excluded, he didn't say anything.
"This one." Long Lingnan picked out the egg belonging to water and put it aside, letting Long Zixuan take it. Since their attributes matched, the probability of surviving would be greater.
She looked at the two remaining eggs in the nest and was a little hesitant.
Logically speaking, among the three people present, she and Long Haoyu are both without attributes and can adapt to these two eggs, but her bloodline is too different from that of the little snake, and the pain she needs to endure is also greater. But there is no doubt that if it can survive, it will benefit the most.
Finally, she picked up the snake egg that inherited the most golden snake bloodline and placed it in front of herself, then handed the last one to Long Haoyu.
Long Haoyu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there would be something about him, but...
“How do we do this?”
He held the snake egg in his left hand, curiously feeling its unique tough texture.
It seems that the dragon blood in the body still has a certain effect on the golden snake. Ordinary snakes usually have dozens of eggs in a nest, and there is often mucus between the eggs. But the golden snake has only laid three eggs now. The eggs feel smooth and there is obviously no mucus attached to them. However, the eggs are still soft and oval, which still retains the characteristics of snakes.
Besides, the Golden Snake's emotions and intelligence are a bit too abundant.
Long Haoyu played with the snake eggs and found them quite interesting.
if……
His eyes grew a little deeper, but his thoughts were interrupted by Long Lingnan.
"Brother, look at what I did."
Long Lingnan searched in the space where she lived, and found the scales that had fallen off in her childhood. She stretched out her sharp nails and dug a small bowl-shaped pit in the grayish-white ground. She placed the egg at the bottom of the pit and cut her hand with the sharp edge of the scale, and golden-red blood gushed out.
At the moment the dragon blood gushed out, the golden snake's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme, like the tip of a needle. The instinctive desire from deep within the creature urged it to quickly drink the dragon blood full of power, so that it could break through the barrier that had controlled it for a hundred years.
But the golden snake knew it couldn't, so it stretched its tail straight, lowered its head, and used reason to crush its instincts over and over again.
Long Haoyu glanced at it and his evaluation of the golden snake improved slightly.
Long Lingnan controlled his body's self-healing instinct and waited until the dragon blood flowed over the top of the egg, soaking it completely. Then he relaxed his body. In the blink of an eye, the wound was healed as before.
The golden-red dragon blood slowly seeped into the egg through small holes that were invisible to the naked eye. Faintly visible golden-red blood threads could be seen extending inside the originally white egg, and the dragon blood was descending at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Three dragons and one snake stared at the snake egg in the center, waiting for it to break out of the cocoon or die in the egg.
No one can help it, it can only rely on itself to survive.
Having said that, Long Lingnan sighed inwardly. He was so young and hadn't even been born yet. Whether he could withstand the dragon poison was basically ninety percent determined by fate.
Suddenly, her eyes moved, and she saw that the snake egg, which was originally trembling slightly, stopped, and blood instantly covered the entire egg body. A cracking sound was heard, and several cracks appeared on the top of the egg.
This is, successful
Hope instantly flashed in the golden snake's eyes, and great joy surged in his heart.
However, after this, the snake eggs became silent.
Everything was quiet. They waited for a few more breaths. The flickering flame of life inside the snake egg finally flickered for a moment like a candle and went out. The little snake inside the egg did not survive after all.
Great joy was followed by great sorrow. Under the huge blow, the golden snake could not help but collapse to the ground, and its body twitched like a human sobbing.
This little life passed away at this moment, without even having the chance to see the world.
Long Lingnan closed his eyes and silently designated this place as the little guy's grave, burying it there.
Even for an adult monster with a strong will, it would be a life-or-death experience if it went through the dragon blood tempering, let alone it, which had not yet been born. Long Lingnan was not surprised that a miracle did not happen, but she was still sad for it after seeing the death of a life with her own eyes.
The three mourned for a few seconds, and Long Zixuan continued like his sister. His blood was dark red with a hint of dark gold, which was the pinnacle of the Xuanshui system. Unfortunately, this snake egg performed worse than its brother. It died silently just after the marrow cleansing began.
Although the golden snake had expected the loss of two eggs, it still had a glimmer of hope. Now, after suffering a series of blows, it was heartbroken and no longer looked forward to the outcome of the last snake egg.
It was motionless, its eyes filled with sorrow.
Seeing this, Long Haoyu said nothing. He used Long Lingnan's scales to scratch his arm. Bright red blood flowed down his arm, from his fingertips into the hole, and covered the top of his testicle.
A slight breath of blood dissipated in the air, and Long Lingnan seemed to smell something. She was about to look for it in confusion, but the sense of danger that came from nowhere disappeared without a trace.
The egg trembled, and suddenly it absorbed the dragon blood in big gulps like a whale. Its speed was so fast that it even formed a small whirlpool in the pool of blood. After drinking all the dragon blood, only a blood egg was left in its place.
A clicking sound was heard, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The golden snake suddenly looked up, hope flashed in its eyes but quickly faded away. It told itself that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment is likely to be.
But this snake egg seemed to be blessed by heaven. The crack on the top of the egg continued to expand, and a small green snake with a bulge on its head crawled out of it. It had bright eyes and was full of energy. It hissed for food as soon as it was born.
The snake's head grew horns, and it was about to transform into a dragon.
This little snake was born, already walking ahead of its mother. But, this was all too smooth. Was it simply blessed by heaven, or was it just…? Long Lingnan glanced at her brother quickly, then quickly looked away.
Long Haoyu seemed unaware. He looked at the newborn snake, gently twisting his fingertips, as if thinking of nothing.
The golden snake stared at the little green snake in disbelief. The great surprise almost knocked it unconscious. It stared blankly for several seconds before it dared to believe that one of its children really survived!
When it finally reacted, it looked happy and circled around the little snake happily. It lowered its head and touched the top of the little snake's head, its eyes full of love and joy.
Seeing this loving scene, Long Haoyu seemed to smile. Long Lingnan looked up at him and felt that he was in a bad mood.
But Long Haoyu was distracted for only a moment, and he quickly retracted his superficial smile and returned to his usual lazy appearance.
The golden snake was affectionate with the child for a long time before it could barely suppress the joy in its heart. When reason returned to its mind, it walked respectfully to the three people and bowed deeply.
"Since you met us, it can be considered fate."
Long Lingnan tapped the golden snake's forehead with his finger and said, "I will give you a gift."
The golden snake felt a coolness spread from its forehead to its entire body. It tried to speak, but what came out was no longer a snake's hissing, but a gentle female voice:
"I would like to thank the three of you for your kindness and for saving my son. I will never forget this. I am willing to serve you and be your servant."
It, no, she bowed deeply.
Long Lingnan looked at her brother. Strictly speaking, Sha Yi's son was saved by Long Haoyu, so it depends on his decision.
Long Haoyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Sha Li from top to bottom. Sha Li kept her head buried deeply. After a long while, Long Haoyu chuckled softly:
"No need," he said, grabbing the wandering Long Zixuan with one hand each. "It's getting late, we have to go back."
Long Lingnan poked her head out from under her brother's hand and nodded in agreement. She picked up the inner elixir that had been placed aside and shook it. "If you feel it's inappropriate, give it to us as compensation."
Sha Shi said anxiously, "This thing is not mine in the first place, how can I use it to taste it to repay the adults' kindness? You can take it, but Sha Shi must not take it as a favor."
Long Haoyu curled his lips and said, "As long as we think it's okay, it's fine. Okay, this matter is over, we should leave."
He led the children back the same way, and heard from afar, "No need to send me off."
The golden snake circled around the child, its eyes firm, as if it had made up its mind.
The next day, at dawn, on the top floor of a high-end hotel on the island.
"...Xingzhou, please wait a little longer. I...will definitely stand on your side."
Ying Yiran was sitting on the soft and luxurious bed, wearing a silk nightgown, talking on the phone with her boyfriend.
How could she possibly be willing to live in that straw house, which was so dirty and messy? She had been accustomed to the life of luxury for so many years and could not adapt to it at all. With her relationship with Duan Xingzhou, she only needed to inform the program team and they would not dare to say anything.
In this case, you still only need to go back to the thatched hut before starting the live broadcast every day and pretend to have just woken up.
As for Le Cheng, Ying still brought her to the hotel and handed her over to the assistant's care. She didn't want to spend too much energy on a three or four-day variety show with a child she had no close relationship with.
“…After so many chances, it still doesn’t work out!”
The man on the other side suddenly raised his voice and shouted in dissatisfaction.
Ying Yixian held the phone tightly and pleaded, "Xingzhou, give me another chance. I will definitely not let you down this time."
On the other side, Duan Xingzhou thought that this woman was still useful, and barely suppressed his temper. He was patient and said softly:
"Yan'an, I know your difficulties, but this is really important to me."
Ying Yiran was even more touched when she heard her boyfriend's thoughtful words. She secretly made up her mind that she must achieve her goal this time no matter what.
The surfing boat yesterday afternoon was a good opportunity, but Long Haoyu gave up participating in the game, so Ying had to give up with regret.
On the phone, Duan Xingzhou was still saying, "Yi Ran, you must help me check if Long Haoyu has a red snake-shaped birthmark on his chest. He is very likely my lost cousin."
Ying Yiran made repeated promises. After hanging up the phone, she clutched the phone tightly, her eyes struggling with anxiety. Finally, she made a decision and called out, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu!"
Xiao Xu is her personal assistant.
After Xiao Xu left, Ying still pinched his palms tightly and comforted himself: It's okay, it's okay. Didn't Xingzhou say that Brother Yu was probably his cousin who was kidnapped by gangsters when he was born. He was Duan Xingzhou's cousin, so he must also be from a wealthy family. Brother Yu is lucky enough to be able to return to his roots. This is a good thing, yes, a good thing.
She convinced herself and held her trembling right hand with her left hand until everything returned to calm.
On the other side, as soon as Duan Xingzhou hung up the phone, he threw his expensive mobile phone against the wall. Even though the quality was very good, the screen of the phone was inevitably broken into pieces after being hit like this, although the body of the phone was intact.
But Duan Xingzhou didn't care about the phone at all. His eyes were full of irritability, and perhaps there was a hint of fear that he was not aware of.
If he really was... it's impossible. Mother said that they sent people to check and found that the baby was indeed dead. But if he really survived... then it's no wonder that he is so cruel.
Duan Xingzhou's eyes were filled with fierceness. He finally couldn't help but get furious and smashed everything in the room to pieces.
"Director, what are we going to do today? Give me some fresh air."
Shao Mingxu quietly leaned close to Director Wang's ear, hoping to take a shortcut and get ahead of everyone else.
"No," Director Wang refused righteously. "I'm the director. How can I do such an unfair thing?"
Shao Mingxu secretly gestured a number and made faces to convey his feelings to Director Wang.
It's small money!
Director Wang's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree immediately, but suddenly he thought: No, all the money he had was taken away by the production crew when he first landed on the island, so where would the bribe money come from?
Good fellow, he actually wanted to get something for nothing, and he wanted to get his own sheep!
Director Wang couldn't stand this. He snorted coldly and flew into a rage, "You little brat, who do you think I am? Come, take this crooked guy away!"
Suddenly, two black-clad staff members came up from both sides, one of them grabbed one of Shao Mingxu's shoulders, and regardless of his repeated cries of "it's unfair", they ruthlessly took the criminal away.
【Hahahahahaha】
[Director Wang, stop pretending. I see your excited look, hahaha]
Shao Mingxu is such a funny guy. The show would be less fun without him.
Seeing Ying Yinning arriving late with Le Cheng, Director Wang didn't say anything on the surface, but he was even more dissatisfied with her in his heart. Today she was late for a long time again on the pretext of getting up late, so the program crew had to blame the delay of the live broadcast on equipment problems in order to cover up for her, and she was scolded a lot again.
Director Wang began his daily opening remarks with a smile like Maitreya Buddha. He said, "To exercise our bodies, to strengthen our wills, and to broaden our minds, the theme of our program today is: Nature!"
Hmm, is there any connection between these two sentences?
Everyone looked at him questioningly, but Director Wang ignored them and remained calm: "The first step to getting close to nature is: climbing mountains!"
ah!
"To make the event more interesting, we specially prepared a little bit of luggage for the guests so that they can better experience the beauty of nature and feel the wonders of life firsthand."
Director Wang said shamelessly what he said. The staff beside him grunted and carried several large heavy snakeskin bags. When the bags were thrown to the ground, the huge dust raised and the green faces of the guests looked like a beautiful stopped landscape painting.
"...Director Wang, are you kidding me?" Director Wang, are you crazy?
Shen Congmeng almost couldn't maintain the proper smile on his face. What gave Director Wang the illusion that their weak arms and legs could carry these sacks up the mountain?
Do you really think they are supermen?
Bathed in the terrifying gaze that seemed to be stabbing someone, Director Wang's fat body trembled a few times. He coughed a few times, winked at the staff, and smiled wryly to appease them:
"Oh, don't be anxious, everyone. How could I be such a cruel person?"
The guests suppressed their tempers and prepared to see how Director Wang would make things right. They followed Director Wang's gaze and saw the staff bringing in a few... mules.
"That's right," Director Wang straightened his chest. "Of course, this luggage isn't for you to carry. It's for the mules. You just need to carry the mules and the luggage. The first group to reach the top of the mountain will win the show's grand prize."
"A secret secret: this is the one the kids like the most."
The children immediately became excited and couldn't wait to start their mountain climbing trip.
A celebrity once said that when you want to tear down the roof, people will oppose you, but when you compromise and open a skylight, people will often agree. Today, this famous saying has come true again.
Sure enough, when Director Wang first made a feint by asking the guests to carry sacks up the mountain, and then seemed to back off and let the guests lead the mules up the mountain, the guests readily accepted it.
Looking at the backs of the five groups of guests climbing the mountain, Director Wang showed a sinister smile at the foot of the mountain.
This mule is not so easy to control, my stupid guests.
Just as Director Wang had expected, the clever mules, having just escaped the gaze of the staff behind them, seemed to realize that they were a group of ignorant outsiders. They slowed down their already slow pace, and some even stopped to eat weeds by the roadside.
The unlucky guy was Shao Mingxu. He collapsed as he watched the mule that refused to budge.
"Brother, you are my elder brother. I beg you to lift your noble horse's legs and stop eating grass. When we reach the top of the mountain, I will give you the most precious fodder."
He was almost about to hold Uncle Mule's legs and cry bitterly.
"Mingming, is a mule a horse?"
Ranran sucked her thumb and asked in confusion.
"Ranran! Didn't we agree at home before that you're not allowed to call me brother Mingming during the show?"
Shao Mingxu scratched his head, completely desperate.
"Oh, sorry Mingming, I forgot." Ranran looked innocent.
"Never mind, and no sucking your fingers!"
Ranran quickly took out the finger that she had accidentally put into her mouth and put it behind her back, pretending that she had not sucked her finger.
Shao Mingxu looked at his mule and his brother and felt like he had two ancestors.
"Uncle, the little pony walks so slowly. I can walk faster than it."
Little Sugar Bean happily played a racing game with the mule. At home, he could not beat anyone, but here, he could surpass the pony.
"Um."
Gu Yang nodded, and looking at the mule that could race with a snail, the template-like smile on his face froze slightly. He thought for a moment, and then, imitating a story he had seen before, he found a branch, hung a carrot given by the program crew in front of the mule, trying to lure it with benefits.
Sadly, his attempt to create a perpetual motion machine failed.
A hint of disdain flashed in the mule's eyes. It stopped, swung the branch tied around its neck, and crashed into the big tree next to it. The fragile branch broke instantly. It walked leisurely to the carrot that fell on the ground with its hooves, picked up the carrot, and looked like a big boss.
Gu Yang, who was watching everything: ...I felt like I was being ridiculed.
Everyone showed their unique abilities, but unfortunately Uncle Mule was a mountain that was even higher than the other one. He had been through hundreds of battles and was hard to be moved. The guests in each group were in great pain, but the barrage of comments entertained everyone and made them extremely happy.
[I didn't expect that there is finally something that the goddess can't do but I can. Who told me that I have several mules at home? Hahaha (laughing like a pig)]
[Hahaha, Mingming’s mule even walked back. It really made me cry to death (laughing to death)]
[Wait, there seems to be a set of paintings with a wrong style]
It is indeed a group that stands out from the crowd.
Long Haoyu took Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan and passed their competitors one by one as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, while the mules beside them worked hard and even pranced, walking faster and faster.
The people who were still struggling with the mule uncle could not help but get jealous when they saw how relaxed they were. Why, why did the mule uncle they were assigned have such a good temper?
Shao Mingxu was the first to step forward and asked with a shameless face:
"Brother Long, I'd like to know what trick you have that makes this mule so obedient. If you could teach me a trick, I would be very grateful."
Long Haoyu: ...First of all, you have to be the first dragon.
The method that Long Haoyu and his men used to suppress the mule was very simple and crude. Once Long Haoyu released his might, the mule would kneel down on all four legs. When Long Haoyu and his men retracted his might, the mule realized the difference in status and naturally did its best.
In a nutshell, to survive.
But could Long Haoyu say this to Shao Mingxu? Obviously not.
So he hesitated to speak, and finally said: "I'm sorry, Brother Shao, this method can be used by us, but I'm afraid others can't use it."
Shao Mingxu was not such a shameless person. Seeing that Long Haoyu was not in a position to answer, he did not ask any more questions. He retreated regretfully and looked at Uncle Mule who continued to ponder.
In an instant, the barrage in Long Haoyu's live broadcast room was stirred up by kind-hearted people with bad intentions.
Long Haoyu is simply unwilling to share his method with others. He's too selfish. It's just a game. If he cares so much about winning or losing, he must be a loser in life.
The internet trolls below kept echoing the sentiment, and for a while they actually succeeded, attracting many of Shao Mingxu's fans to come and scold him.
Shao Mingxu's rational fans tried hard to persuade everyone to calm down, but to little avail.
But soon, a passerby who was disgusted by this stood up and replied:
Please, this is a competition. It's their freedom to speak out or not. I think it's you who are not following the rules of the game. Why do you have to share your methods? I think you have figured out the moral blackmail.
The two sides immediately started a war of words filled with gunpowder, and the entire live broadcast room was instantly filled with smoke.
But the guests far away on Hain Island were unaware of the war they had started, and their journey continued.
After Shao Mingxu left, Ying Yiran came.
When he saw her, Long Haoyu frowned slightly, but considering the live broadcast, he still gave her a good expression.
Ying Yiran knew that Long Haoyu would not embarrass her in front of the live broadcast. Her eyebrows seemed to be slightly frowned, and her face with light makeup made her look more beautiful and elegant. Her posture was like a willow swaying in the wind. She asked sadly:
"Brother Long, I..." She bit her red lips, a faint blush on her face, "I really can't control my mule. Can I, can I exchange with you?"
…Should I be thankful that I still remember not to shout out that disgusting name during the live broadcast?
Long Haoyu didn't want to get entangled with her any further, so he readily agreed.
This action immediately changed the tone of the comments on the barrage. One side scolded Ying Yiren for being a green tea and started a war with Ying Yiren's fans, while the other side scolded Long Haoyu for putting women before friends and openly showing hypocrisy towards Ying Yiren and Shao Mingxu.
But the waitress still managed to exchange the mule back, only to find that things did not develop as she expected.
When the mule saw her, it started to be lazy again, but when it was in Long Haoyu's hands, it immediately became diligent and motivated.
The commentators and the guests now reached a consensus: Long Haoyu must have a unique secret method to make the mule obedient!
Long Lingnan led the way in front. She liked to walk a long way at once, and then wait slowly for Long Haoyu and the others to catch up.
In this way, they walked all the way to the top of the mountain and rested, admiring the beautiful scenery of clouds rolling and unrolling halfway up the mountain, and feeling the grandeur of looking down on all the other mountains.
However, perhaps they arrived too early, and the first group of people they waited for were not guests from other groups, but... the program staff who came up by cable car.
Wang Dao was shocked: How is this possible!
They looked at each other silently, staring at each other, and they both saw the unspeakable feelings in each other's eyes.
In the end, Director Wang was the thicker-skinned one. He said nonchalantly, "That's perfect! I didn't expect you guys to be so quick. It's time for lunch now. Come on, let's eat together."
Of course, his ultimate goal was to take advantage of Long Haoyu's extraordinary cooking skills and eat for free, which was not shabby!
After eating and drinking, the staff began to prepare, and Long Haoyu's unexpected group had no choice but to act as idle waste.
They waited and waited until the sun was setting before they finally saw the shadow of the latecomer. Fortunately, the program crew had prepared dry food in the luggage carried by the mule. However, even so, the conditions were very difficult.
The second group to reach the top of the mountain were Chen Congmeng and Yiyi. After they arrived, other groups also climbed to the top soon after.
With no time to rest, they had to prepare dinner quickly as they were starving. Although the program crew had prepared the ingredients in advance, they had to cook by themselves. Thus, an unconventional picnic began.
The children were asked to sit on cartoon-style blankets and wait. It didn’t take long before the meal was served.
The adults took out small folding tables and stools, spread them out on the ground, and asked the children to sit down.
After finishing his work, Long Haoyu sat down next to Long Lingnan. The small space made it difficult for him to stretch his long legs, but he didn't care and sat there with his legs bent, feeling aggrieved.
After a while, the dishes were served and everyone took their seats, picked up their chopsticks, and started chatting in groups of three or four.
After spending the past couple of days together, they became more familiar with each other and started talking to each other.
But Long Haoyu only said a few words when he was asked questions. The rest of the time, he just listened silently. As for Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan, they were even more silent.
Ying Yiran occasionally said a few words. She observed Long Haoyu's direction with her peripheral vision and slowly moved her feet. She realized that this was a great opportunity.
With a table this light, there's no better time!
Opportunity is fleeting, and once lost, it will never come back. Ying still no longer hesitated. She chose this seat specifically for this purpose. She lightly hooked her toes.
"ah!"
The table tilted instantly and tilted towards Long Haoyu and the other two. Long Haoyu's pupils shrank and he reacted very quickly, pulling Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan over to protect them under him.
Crackling!
The vegetable soup and gravy all splashed onto Long Haoyu. His hair and shirt were all covered with vegetable leaves, minced meat and dripping soup.
Everyone's first reaction was to protect the child, except Ying Yin who reacted a moment late, but in the rush, no one paid attention.
Now that rationality had returned to their minds, everyone stood up and approached Long Haoyu, asking in unison:
"Are you okay, Brother Long?"
"Clothes, who has clothes?"
"Water, clean towels, bring them over!"
Director Wang was also shocked by this sudden change. He hurried forward, fearing that something had happened to Long Haoyu.
Fortunately, the meal had been served for a while, so he shouldn't get burned, but looking at his disheveled appearance, Long Haoyu was obviously not feeling well either.
He let the children go, walked to the blind spot of the live broadcast, took off his shirt neatly, took the towel handed to him by the staff, and wiped his body.
Even if it was only for a brief moment, Ying Yiran, who had been staring at Long Haoyu, could see clearly that there was indeed a red birthmark on his chest.
Her heart was pounding, and her hands, which were pinching the clothes on her chest, dropped down, and she felt a little absent-minded.
Shen Congmeng saw her pale face and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ying Yiran forced a smile: "I'm just... a little scared."
She moved her gaze unconsciously, but suddenly met a pair of cold eyes. She was startled and looked back, only to see that it was Long Haoyu's distant cousin.
He looked at her coldly. She was obviously only five or six years old, but meeting his cold eyes brought Ying Yiran a sense of oppression that was as real as a real thing.
She couldn't believe that she was frightened by the gaze of a little child.
Long Zixuan suddenly laughed, the kind of smile that a little boy would have when he had successfully played a prank. He said silently, word by word: You, wait, for, me.
As if she was being stared at by an ancient giant beast, the fear from the depths of her soul instantly filled her whole body. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
What happened to Ying Yiran? She looked so pale and suddenly fell to the ground.
Maybe I was scared.
[Your family was shocked by the long delay]
[I think the previous performance of Ying Yi is not right]
[Something's wrong. My goddess is just too scared. What do you mean?]
At this time, the passerby who was sitting at the computer and was attacked by Ying Yiren's crazy fans for no reason slowly typed a question mark. He tried to reason with them, but they argued with him.
The crazy fans attacked him, and the abuse became more and more unbearable. Passersby also got angry and picked up their keyboards to fight these idiots for three hundred rounds.
Because of this incident, the program team had to cancel the rest of the original arrangements and sent everyone to the foot of the mountain by cable car. Long Lingnan, because her attention was always focused on her brother, surrounded Long Haoyu and asked him about his well-being, and ignored Long Zixuan's little movements.
Lying in bed late at night, the passerby who was innocently insulted became more and more angry. He got up, turned on the computer again, and watched the replay of today's program frame by frame. He vowed to silence those trolls.
Finally, his hard work paid off and he really found the clue.
The blue light of the computer shone on his face, and he slowly broke into a victorious smile.
Late at night, the entry #Ying Yiran deliberately splashed water on Long Haoyu remained on the hot search list all night. No matter how hard Ying Yiran's team tried, they couldn't suppress it. Ying Yiran's agent called Ying Yiran all night, but no one answered.
It was early morning again, and the hard-working program crew got up early to prepare for today. Their cell phones were not collected, so some people whispered to each other.
"Did you see the trending searches last night?"
"That Ying Yiran, right? Tsk tsk, I never thought she would be this kind of person. What do you think she's after?"
"Oh, I don't know. Do you think she has a crush on Long Haoyu?"
"She's too scary to do this even though she has a crush on someone."
The sounds of people eating melons grew louder and louder, and more and more people joined in the discussion, until... Director Wang arrived.
"No talking during work!"
After being swept by Wang Dao's stern gaze, everyone scattered like birds and went about their own business in silence.
Director Wang, on the other hand, was sitting in the director's exclusive seat, touching his big belly, looking very sad. He was worried that his sponsor would not stop giving them money because of this incident.
Even though he considered himself experienced, he couldn't understand Ying Yiran's actions. It could only be said that they were really abstract.
However, there are still hot searches in this world that the Duan family cannot suppress, or has the Duan family given up on Ying Yiran?
Director Wang narrowed his eyes, thinking about how the program team should make good use of this wave of popularity.
"What's going on? Ying Yiran hasn't come yet."
Could it be that something like this happened and she avoided the spotlight and didn't participate?
Director Wang asked the employee in charge of this matter, but heard a trembling voice from the other side:
"Oh no, Director Wang, Miss Ying fainted in the hotel. It seems, it seems she was bitten by a snake!"
Director Wang:
Tell me again, what bit you?
He suddenly fell off the chair and said angrily: "Send her to the hospital quickly!"
How ignorant!
However, there are also snakes on the top floors of top luxury hotels.
When Long Lingnan heard this, her heart moved. She slowly cast her suspicious eyes on Long Haoyu. Could it be that her brother was so angry last night that he asked the Golden Snake to summon a poisonous snake to bite Ying Yiran?
That shouldn't be the case.
Long Zixuan, who seemed to be nothing, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his sister's eyes did not wander towards him at all.
He knew that killing people was not allowed in this world, so he taught Ying Yiran a lesson that he would never forget.
Long Zixuan's smile was creepy, but unfortunately Long Lingnan, who had her back to him, didn't see it at all.
Long Haoyu, who was wronged by her, sneezed loudly.
Damn it, could it be that I caught a cold from what happened last night?
At the Duan family in the imperial capital, Duan Xingzhou recalled the conversation he had with Ying Yiran last night, with his eyes open, unable to sleep all night.
