Chapter 333: New Year's Day
Demonic Land.
A place filled with darkness and evil.
There is no sun here, only a red evil star hanging high in the sky, shining eternally.
There is a legend that the magic star is the original "devil", which gives power to all creatures in the magic land. However, this powerful power is bound with irresistible bloodlust and madness.
In the center of the Demonic Land, there is a land of the Beginning Demons. Even if the fighting outside is bloody, no monster dares to approach the center of the Beginning Demonic Land easily.
Because there is a...Lukxian City here.
In the main hall of Luxian City.
The bronze-cast pillars reflected the blood-red light of the demon stars, making the faces of each demon flicker.
The eight demons stood in silence.
Directly in front of him was a throne high up, and the being on the throne was hidden in the darkness, which was extremely oppressive.
"What... is going on?" The master of Luxian City asked a soul-searching question to the eight demons below.
"I gave you unlimited resources, the water of infinite rebirth, and powerful help, but the result..." The voice of the Lord of Luxian City was filled with anger, like thunder lurking under the clouds, "That's it?"
"Lord City Lord!" The Bone Demon stepped forward and bowed his head, "All of this is..."
"It's all the Medicine Master Demon's fault!" Thousand Hands Demon said first: "He's dead!"
"Can you blame me for this?" Yaoshi Mo immediately jumped up and down, "Did I lure the little Taoist priest here? I didn't force him to destroy the lake water!"
"How did the little Taoist know the location of the Demon Shadow Cave?" The Thousand-Handed Demon asked, "Maybe you told him after I died when we captured the Black Light Marten!"
"Bullshit!" Medicine Master Demon said angrily, "I only returned to the lake three seconds later than you did. What can three seconds do?"
"There are so many things we can do!" said the Thousand-Handed Demon in a deep voice.
"What's the point of arguing now?" The Wuxiang Demon at the side shook his head.
"Yes, what's the point of quarreling? It just destroys unity." Yao Shimo agreed.
Then Wu Xiang Mo said again: "I suggest some substantial punishment, lock Yao Shi Mo in the Black Prison for a thousand or eight hundred years. If he hadn't done bad things repeatedly this time, he would have been able to refine the resurrection elixir and drive Chen Fuhuang!"
"So you have an even darker heart!" Yaoshi Mo was immediately shocked and said, "Who is not responsible for this bad thing? If you hadn't been discovered by Li Maoqing and acted as Qin Zhenghu, how could there be so many troubles?"
“That’s enough!”
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was becoming tense and increasingly oppressive, the Lord of Luxian City suddenly shouted again.
The eight demons were immediately trembling with fear and dared not speak again.
The Lord of Luxian City poked out half of his ferocious face from the shadows and asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"
"Yes..." Yaoshi Mo didn't dare to raise his head, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is... is it the date of my death?"
"What are you talking about?" The Lord of Luxian City said slowly: "Today is New Year's Eve."
"Ah..." The demons were horrified.
I was so busy that I even forgot the date.
Then, the Lord of Luxian City uttered a few words with a surging devilish aura, "On New Year's Day..."
"Yeah...it's New Year's Day." The Medicine Master Demon smiled awkwardly and looked at the Formless Demon.
Wu Xiang Mo also showed a guilty look on his face, "It's New Year's Day."
The Thousand-Handed Demon directly ejected seven or eight hands and bowed to each monster, "Happy New Year, everyone. Happy New Year, Lord City Lord."
Suddenly, the dark clouds in the hall dissipated and the atmosphere became joyful and peaceful.
…
"Where's the baby brontosaurus?"
Li Chu and Du Lanke returned to the temple and found that Deyun Temple was already decorated with lights and was in a festive mood. Everyone had changed into festive new clothes, but Xiao Feilong was missing.
"Seventh Young Master took it out to play." Wanli Feisha said, "It's New Year's Day, so he treated it to a good meal."
"Wang Longqi took it out alone?" Li Chu blinked, with a vague bad premonition.
Sure enough, a little later.
After Wang Longqi brought Xiao Feilong back, he was caught by the fox girl and interrogated.
He sat on a small bench in the backyard, while the little fat dragon sat on a stone bench. The man and the dragon were at the same height, looking up at the fox girl with the same innocent eyes.
"Tell me..." The fox girl looked at the little fat dragon suspiciously, "Where did you go to play?"
"My home." Wang Longqi said hurriedly.
"Let it talk!" the fox girl pointed at the little fat dragon.
"Hey, hey!" Little Fatty Dragon shouted quickly.
Wang Longqi translated: "It said...it came to my house with me to eat chicken legs and drink a little wine. The wine was not good, but the chicken legs were delicious, so it was very happy."
"Hmm..." The fox girl nodded.
Wang Longqi muttered softly: "Is there any difference?"
Then the fox girl asked again: "How many glasses of wine did you drink in total?"
Little Fatty Dragon raised two fingers: "Huh."
The fox girl asked again: "How many chicken legs did you eat?"
The little fat dragon simply raised all the fingers of his two paws: "Ah!"
The fox girl suddenly asked again: "How many girls are there with you?"
The little fat dragon raised a paw: "Hey."
The next second, Wang Longqi reacted and immediately grasped its short paw, "We won't lift this!"
But it was too late.
The fox girl raised her eyebrows, "Great! I was wondering why you smelled like rouge. You really took it to those indecent places! You corrupted the children!"
Wang Longqi explained hurriedly: "No, it's because the good girls in Chun Man Lou heard that there is a cute little dragon in Deyun Temple and said they wanted to see it. I am just fulfilling their little wish!"
But the fox girl had already picked up the rolling pin from the side, and was about to bring it down with a whistling sound!
Wang Longqi was quick to move and lifted up Little Fatty Dragon to block him. He shouted out four words: "New Year's Day!"
call--
The wind stopped abruptly.
The rolling pin stopped three inches in front of the little fat dragon's forehead. It was so scared that it quickly arched its paws and kowtowed repeatedly, while shouting, "嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐嗐..."
After calling for a long time, Wang Longqi translated: "It said... Congratulations on your prosperity."
…
There was a commotion outside, and the little koi jumped out of the kitchen and shouted, "Come and eat dumplings!"
"Eat dumplings, eat dumplings... I love dumplings the most! Nothing tastes better than dumplings!"
Wang Longqi hurriedly pulled Xiao Feilong, and the dog sneaked away together.
After the expansion of Deyun Temple, there was a hall outside the kitchen where a large dining table could be set up. Unlike before, when only the master and the apprentice could eat around the stove, a large table was set up in the hall with all kinds of fine wines and delicacies on it. It was obviously a New Year's Eve dinner for a wealthy family.
The master and apprentice have now escaped poverty and become rich.
Li Maoqing and Yu Qian'an arrived together. On New Year's Eve, the atmosphere between the two bad chess players was no longer as hostile as in the past. Everything from their manners to their conversations was very peaceful.
"Master Yu's move of transforming into a demon was really exquisite." Li Maoqing praised.
“Master Li has also mastered the unity of heaven and earth to perfection, haha.” Yu Qian’an smiled and stroked his beard.
It was full of the demeanor of a master, just like two national players competing against each other.
After everyone sat down, Wanli Feisha picked up the wine glass.
"Let me mention one first." He smiled skillfully, "It's the New Year of the Ox, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. On this auspicious day when the whole world is celebrating, a group of orphans like us gather here..."
"Hey, I still have a father!" Wang Longqi quickly stopped him.
"Seventh Young Master, you..." Wanli Feisha sighed, "You're not very sociable."
"Shut up." The fox girl pulled him down to sit.
"Hurry up and eat the dumplings. I made all the dumplings today!" said the little koi with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he had another ominous premonition...
So he ate with extra care.
Sure enough, after eating only two, he felt a click in his mouth and bit into something hard.
When he spit it out, he found it was actually a copper coin.
Fortunately, it was not fish scales, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, putting copper coins in dumplings is a tradition here." The little koi said with a smile: "Whoever eats it will get rich in the coming year."
"What a wonderful blessing." Li Chu nodded sincerely.
“Hmm…”
Everyone was congratulating each other on their prosperity when they suddenly heard Li Maoqing hesitating again.
"I'm going to get rich too?" The Imperial Master took out something with a smile, "Huh?"
I saw that he held a piece of white fish scales in his hand...
"What is this?" He looked horrified.
"This is also our tradition here." Wang Longqi, who had suffered a loss during the Mid-Autumn Festival, said with a wicked smile.
"Yes!" The fox girl said, "Fish scales are packed into dumplings. Those who eat them will have plenty every year."
"Hmm?" The Imperial Master looked suspicious. "This is the first time I've heard of this..."
“That’s right.”
Everyone nodded and started to say auspicious words to Li Maoqing.
Yu Qian'an said: "There are so many peach blossoms!"
Wang Longqi said: "Have a son soon!"
The little koi said, "Good luck!"
Dulanke said: "The older you are, the younger you will be!"
Wanli Feisha said: "Happy family!"
Li Chu said: "Congratulations on your prosperity!"
Little Fatty Dragon said, "Hey, hey!"
Happy New Year!!! (End of this chapter)
