Chapter 1345: What You Hope Won't Happen Always Does?
As soon as Jiangnan finished speaking, a huge explosion rang out from outside!
The plane cabin shuddered violently!
Everyone quickly looked out the window, only to see the engine on the right side of the plane had exploded violently!
Blazing flames were burning, and thick black smoke billowed out!
Jiangnan’s eyes widened as he stared out the window in terror!
(ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆‖)
Holy shit?
An engine actually blew up?
Was it a coincidence? Or did I talk it into exploding?
Yet the cabin was dead silent—no screams, no panic, just an eerie calm!
Everyone sat quietly in their seats, and some were even leisurely sipping vodka!
(๐ᄑ_ᄑ)ᄑ_ᄑ)ᄑ_ᄑ)
(๐≖_≖)≖_≖)≖_≖)
Zhong Yingxue and the others were completely stunned!
No way? We actually hit that one-in-three-million probability? Do we have to be this "lucky"?
Jiangnan was even more bewildered!
(งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง "Holy shit! The plane engine exploded, and you guys aren't even scared?"
Jiangnan wasn't shocked that the plane was crashing; he was shocked at how calm the passengers were!
Since it was a flight to E Guo, most of the cabin was filled with E Guo people!
At this moment, the flight attendant also glanced at Luo Tianqing in surprise!
(๑•̌_•̑)
This pretty miss really called it~
Just then, a bearded uncle casually glanced at the black smoke outside the window!
(๑ᄑ┏ʖ̯┓ᄑ) "What the problem?"
His tone was thick with E Guo flavor!
The flight attendant smiled warmly!
(๐⌒◡⌒) "We've run into a little trouble~ One of the plane's engines exploded!"
As she spoke, she raised two fingers!
"We originally had two engines, now we only have one left!"
Jiangnan: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)???
Whoa! An engine explosion is just a "little trouble" to you guys?
The bearded uncle remained unfazed!
(๑•᷅┏ʖ̯┓•᷄) "Oh~ That is not good!"
Jiangnan stared blankly at the uncle...
(•︠口•︡)...
This is only "not good"?
This uncle is just an ordinary person without any superpowers, you know!
Why is he so calm?
Just then, the captain's announcement came over the intercom—in E Guo language!
(︶д︶) "No problem! We can still fly with one engine!"
The flight attendant smiled!
(๐⌒_⌒) "Don't be afraid, everyone. Please fasten your seatbelts~"
Jiangnan wasn't panicked either—he'd seen bigger scenes. He grinned!
(･᷅ὢ･᷄) "I know how to fly too. In this situation, a single engine can still maintain cruise!"
"Unless the landing gear breaks, then..."
"Boom!"
Before he could finish, the skin on the underside of the plane tore open, and the exploded engine blades damaged the landing gear!
Two wheels vanished in an instant, nowhere to be seen!
Everyone stared blankly at the wheels that flashed past the window!
Jiangnan broke out in a cold sweat!
(٥･᷅ὢ･᷄)...
The flight attendant's gaze toward Jiangnan was already turning a bit off!
The announcement sounded again!
(٥︶д︶) "It's fine~ We can still fly with one wheel~"
Jiangnan gave a guilty thumbs-up!
(੭•̀ω•́)੭✧ "Captain, you're awesome!"
"Landing on one wheel is a bit risky, but not impossible—unless both wings get torn off, then we can't use the flaps to slow down..."
"Shoosh—"
The moment he spoke, both half-wings on either side of the plane were ripped off by the strong wind!
Now, every single person in the cabin fixed their gaze on Jiangnan!
(ꐦ°᷄･_･°᷅)ꐦ°᷄_°᷅)
Your mouth is blessed, isn't it?
How do you say something and it happens?
[From Alexandre's Resentment +666!]
[From Yeger's Resentment...]
Xia Yao guiltily sidled over and poked Jiangnan!
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) "Hey, hey, hey! Did you secretly eat a cherry? How are you this unlucky?"
Jiangnan's eyes twitched. I didn't eat one! I just chewed a piece of Word Spirit gum!
What the hell? Why does the bad stuff come true but not the good?
The captain's announcement came again!
(‧̣̥̇︶෴︶‧̣̥̇) "No worries~ The shorter the wings, the faster we fly!"
Jiangnan forced a smile!
(٥･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "Ah-ha~ ahaha~ What a... coincidence!"
"At least we still have one engine left. If that one explodes too, then..."
"Boom!"
Before he finished, the only remaining engine exploded!
It turned into a giant fireball!
The flight attendant's forehead bulged with two veins—she was a bit angry!
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅ꐦ) "This passenger! Please stop talking!"
[From Funa's Resentment +666!]
"If you say two more sentences, none of us will survive!"
Then, with a full smile, she turned to the cabin!
(∗❛ัꇴ❛ั) "Don't worry~ Even without engines, we can still fly!"
Jiangnan: ???
Just then, the captain's furious voice came over the intercom!
(ꐦథ益థꐦ) "Oh no, no, no! Without engines, we're dead! Fly my ass! We're screwed—damn it!"
"Suka suka suka blyat!"
Now the cabin was in complete chaos, screams rising one after another!
That bearded uncle was no longer calm either—he grabbed his vodka bottle and chugged!
The flight attendant Funa gripped the seat back, staring darkly at Jiangnan!
(ꐦớ‸ờ)
[From Funa's Resentment +1000!]
[From Funa...]
No engines, both wings half-gone—the plane plummeted from high altitude at a terrifying speed!
Xiao Jiuwo raised a hand!
٩(•᷄⌂•᷅◍)໒꒱ "Want me to help? Lan can take me out, I can..."
Jiangnan shook his head with a wry smile: "No need, I'll handle it."
After all, the plane ending up like this wasn't entirely unrelated to him—it was basically all his fault!
Zhong Yingxue's heart was in her throat. Xiao Nan couldn't fly without using his space abilities!
How was he going to do this?
Was he going to save everyone and then slap them all?
Just then, Jiangnan's spirit energy erupted violently, shooting out countless spirit threads!
"Spirit Thread Transformation • Floating Sky Spell Array!"
In an instant, the spirit threads wove and combined frantically, forming densely woven circular spell arrays!
About a hundred meters in diameter, they actually caught the high-speed falling plane!
The plane hovered in the air, then tilted under Jiangnan's control!
He dragged the smoking plane toward Xue Du Airport at an astonishing speed!
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The captain slumped in his seat, sweating profusely at the series of alarms on the instrument panel.
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue stared in shock at the giant spirit pattern array outside the plane!
No way? That actually works?
Jiangnan chuckled smugly. To be fair, the Bei family's spell arrays did have some good stuff.
Wasting them on that old woman was a shame!
The twenty million skill points he spent weren't for nothing!
Still, Jiangnan was a bit shaken.
Just what the hell was this Word Spirit gum? Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't?
When he said something he hoped for, nothing happened. When he said something bad, it hit every time?
He checked the effect again and his expression froze.
It really says "gives the chewer an occasional word spirit ability"!
This "occasional" is way too unreliable!
So the word spirit is random? What you say might come true, or might not?
Depends on luck?
No wonder it said not to use it with Little Cherry!
I thought it was a god-tier item. Who knew it was such a piece of junk?
Now Jiangnan was afraid to say anything randomly—what if it worked?
But this Word Spirit gum was seriously sinister. If it activated at a critical moment, it could be a lifesaver!
Wait—shit!
After this draw, my resentment spending had already passed another thirty million, right?
System baby, where's my upgrade card?
Don't you dare welch—I've been keeping a tally!
[(乛ε乛٥) Due to the host still not paying off the stall fee debt.]
[Still in debt by 2 billion. Special reward temporarily withheld.]
[(๐◔ε◔ิ๐) Will give it after you pay back the little money~]
Jiangnan: ???
Pfft! You just want to hold onto it longer, don't you?
He'd completely forgotten about that!
He still owed 2 billion in stall fees! At the thought, Jiangnan instantly lost his cheer!
A blazing fire lit up in his eyes!
Permanent Frozen Tundra Xue Du! Wait for me! I'm going to find that 2 billion from you guys!
Seeing Jiang Tianqing full of fighting spirit, Zhong Yingxue shivered violently!
What's Xiao Nan planning now?
After several hours of flying, Jiangnan finally towed the plane to Xue Du Airport.
From high above, the entire city of Xue Du was built on the outskirts of the permafrost.
It was sparsely populated, surrounded by towering snowy mountains and vast birch and pine forests.
Adjacent to the permafrost no-man's-land and a human settlement, Xue Du was exceptionally bustling.
Goose-feather snow drifted through the air, with temperatures plummeting to minus thirty or forty degrees.
Such extreme cold was normal for the permafrost.
What surprised Jiangnan was that half of the Xue Du Airport terminal had collapsed!
The airport itself bore heavy battle scars, with several burning planes.
It seemed like a major battle had just occurred.
Right now, an E Guo blizzard spirit martial force was maintaining order on site.
The entire airport was under lockdown.
And when everyone saw a plane with no wings, no engines, belching thick black smoke slowly descending over the airport, they were all dumbfounded.
(⌯꒪꒫꒪)?
How the hell did that thing fly here?
Everyone slid down the emergency chute. As a cold wind hit him, Jiangnan shivered.
Man, it's freezing! Back in Hua Xia, it was just autumn!
Xiao Jiuwo wisely switched to blue feather mode.
Laughing—not cold at all!
Just as Jiangnan was looking around for the hot babe, he heard:
(∗❛ั⌂❛ั)۶ "Yo~ Over here!"
A blonde bombshell was casually leaning against a pillar in the airport.
She wore black jeans, high boots, and a white down jacket.
One hand in her pocket, the other waving at Jiang Tianqing, looking with surprise at the smoking plane.
The hot babe looked almost exactly the same as last time—beautiful enough to make you cry!
A gold snake earring dangled from her earlobe, incredibly stylish.
After waiting so long, Katerina's nose was a bit red, and a layer of frost covered her long lashes.
Jiang Tianqing grinned: "Let's go. Hurry over. Watch your step—would be awkward if you slipped..."
"Thump thump thump!"
Before he finished, the few who had just taken a step all slid and fell flat on their butts!
The whole team wiped out~
Jiangnan: ...
"Watch your step" wasn't supposed to be taken literally, dammit! Does the Word Spirit have to be this effective?
Bad start, huh?
[From Zhong Yingxue's Resentment +666!]
[From Xia Yao's Resentment +777!]
[From Mila's Resentment +1!]
[From...]
Katerina stared blankly at them...
Such a big gift? To spare them embarrassment, should I pretend to fall too?
Just to lighten the mood a bit?
