Chapter 1659: Sending Off the Old Fire God! (Bonus Chapter)
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ั~꒪ั*) "Aren't Bose bodies usually buy-one-get-one-free? What do you know?"
Odin: ???
I've never heard of that!
Buy one get one?
Hiss? Could it be that Good Big Brother had an in-depth life exchange with that Bose body called Jiang Ning, and that's how he got the free one?
With a Bose body…
That could work?
He couldn't help but give Jiangnan a thumbs up!
Jiangnan grinned: (๑¯ٹ¯ิ) "But this time it wasn't a total loss. Gabriel suffered this loss, so at least for a while, he won't be so troublesome!"
"Let's clean up the battlefield first! We..."
Before he could finish, Jiangnan's expression froze!
(꒪ㅂ꒪‧̣̥̇)…
Everyone: (≖_≖)…
Is there anything left for us to clean up?
The original Pioneer Plains had a few buildings, but now it's all a basin!
The Academy has never been destroyed this thoroughly since it was founded!
At that moment, everyone's faces darkened!
Jiangnan angrily ran over to Xiao Chuihuo, hand outstretched!
(๑・᷅口・᷄)っ "Look at the good deed you did! You blew up the Academy! Pay up!"
Xiao Chuihuo was dumbfounded: Σ(°Д°๑) "You... what did you say? You want me to pay? I'm the damn Dean!"
I haven't even asked for compensation yet, and you're asking me first? Is this what they call the villain suing first?
Jiangnan glared: (งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง "And I'm the Vice Dean. You said before that Pioneer Academy counts as half my property!"
"So this is my asset. You blew up the Academy, and I'm asking you to pay. Isn't that reasonable? Very reasonable, right?"
"Just say it: did you blow up the Academy or not?"
Xiao Chuihuo's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "I did blow it up, but wasn't that to save you? I..."
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: "Couldn't you have stuffed Gabriel into the Spirit Ruins from the start and fought there? All reasons are excuses!"
Two veins bulged on Xiao Chuihuo's forehead. Damn it!
This Vice Dean is certainly diligent in his duties!
Jiangnan snickered to himself. As long as I ask for money first, Grandpa Xiao won't dare to ask me to pay compensation!
I'm such a little clever ghost!
Qin Shou coughed lightly: (͡°ก͡°) "That's not important. What matters is where we're staying tonight? Sleeping in the pit?"
Everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Chuihuo. He twitched his mouth: "I'll go see if there's anywhere livable left!"
With that, he turned and ran. Zhong Yingxue tugged on Jiangnan's sleeve.
She pointed up!
Jiangnan was stunned, then suddenly realized something, his body trembling:
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ "Ah! My Sky Island!"
The iron chains had been melted through, and the Sky Island had long been swept away by the rolling heat to who knows where!
Jiangnan quickly teleported to find it!
But just after Jiangnan left, thunder flashed and sonic booms roared in the sky!
"Don't panic! Support has arrived! Angel, don't run!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a series of roars, Wang Dalei, Chen Daoyi, Ye Zhenguo, and Luo Jiaoyang arrived!
Night Owl even carried Yang Jian as she rushed over!
Ye Zhenguo flew over in a set of pajamas, wearing a white pom-pom nightcap!
Wang Dalei anxiously looked around. The Academy was gone, replaced by a lava crater still radiating heat!
Because they had no place to stay that night, the students all had long faces!
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄(*͡■‸■͡*)…
The atmosphere was heavy, and Wang Dalei's heart sank to the bottom!
Yang Jian anxiously asked: (‧̣̥̇•̌口•̑) "Where's the angel? Where's Grandpa Xiao? We didn't arrive too late, did we? Where's Jiangnan?"
Odin pursed his lips: (¬_¬#) "Too late? If we waited for you, the cold dishes would be cold! It's over! Jiangnan's fine, but the sky..."
Before he could finish, Yang Jian seemed to have all his strength drained in an instant!
He fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming, punching the ground!
(´థᯅథ) "Grandpa Xiao! Damn it! Damn it!"
He roared as he pounded the ground, his face full of grief!
Everyone stared at Yang Jian in shock!
(•︠ˍ•︡)?
Is... is he cursing?
What's so damnable? If Grandpa Xiao hears that, won't he hit him?
Not just Yang Jian—Wang Dalei and the others also had red eyes!
Ye Zhenguo looked up at the sky, his hands behind his back. In the lonely night, sparks flickered, as he forced back tears.
(◞ᵒ̴̶̷~ᵒ̴̶̷) "Old man, did you finally get your wish? Dying on the battlefield to protect the kids?"
"Legends end one day, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Rest in peace! Everything's fine. Leave the rest to us!"
"It's just a pity we couldn't witness the radiance you finally bloomed."
Ye Zhenguo's face was full of loneliness.
(◞‸◟) Eh~
Everyone: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)
Did this old man misunderstand something?
Wang Dalei clenched his fists, his face full of sorrow!
(ง꒦ິ益꒦ີ)ง "It shouldn't! Shouldn't! Uncle Xiao had an old injury. Once he made a move, death was certain!"
"But he still chose to act to protect the kids? The Old Fire God, who was strong all his life, shouldn't have ended like this!"
"If we had prepared better defenses, if we could have been faster, Uncle Xiao might not have died!"
With that, Wang Dalei slapped himself hard twice, his eyes full of hatred!
(ꐦ꒦ິ益꒦ີꐦ) "Holy Star! I'll never rest until you're destroyed!"
Odin: (•́ω•̀٥)…
This... such sincere emotion? I'd feel bad interrupting you!
Even Luo Jiaoyang and Chen Daoyi fell silent. That's how the world is—people always leave, don't they?
Yang Jian struggled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, wiping his tears!
(*⁰̷̴口⁰̷̴)و "The Old Fire God fought his whole life. Even in death, he wouldn't want to see us stuck in grief!"
"Everyone, with me! Send off the Old Fire God!"
At that moment, infected by the atmosphere, the students, who had been looking strange, began to show solemn expressions!
(`~´*)(-ι_-)(⇀‸↼‶)…
Some even thought Grandpa Xiao had really died!
Yang Jian and Ye Zhenguo took a deep breath and shouted in unison!
ꉂꉂ(˃᷄口˂᷅๑) "Sending off the Old Fire God! The fire never dies! The flame burns forever!"
Just then, Xiao Chuihuo appeared behind Yang Jian, his face ashen, over a dozen veins bulging on his forehead, grinding his teeth!
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) "I heard I just died in battle? How come I didn't know?"
He punched Yang Jian in the back of the head, raising a smoking bump!
Yang Jian spun around: (・ˇ口ˇ・#) "Who? Who dares to disrupt such a solemn farewell ceremony..."
Before he finished, Xiao Chuihuo kicked him in the ass, sending him flying!
Then he turned and gave Ye Zhenguo a slap on the neck, and swept Wang Dalei away with a kick!
He was furious: O(▼皿▼ꐦ;)O "I was just cleaning up the battlefield for a moment, and I'm already dead? Can't you wish me well?"
At that moment, Luo Jiaoyang and Chen Daoyi hugged each other, trembling, staring blankly at the handsome middle-aged man with black hair!
Who is this?
Yang Jian and Wang Dalei were both stunned by the beating. Just as they were about to get angry, Ye Zhenguo clutched his neck in horror!
☚(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇) "Holy crap? You, you... Old Xiao's son is this old? Wait, does he have a son?"
Xiao Chuihuo: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)ᕤ ???
"I'm my own son? Old Ye, don't you recognize me?"
Ye Zhenguo's eyes widened, finally connecting the handsome middle-aged man to the old man in the wheelchair!
(◞ʘ̅дʘ̅)!!! "You're Xiao Chuihuo? This... you... he... hiss~"
He was completely stunned!
Even Yang Jian was baffled. This forty- or fifty-year-old handsome dark-haired uncle was Xiao Chuihuo?
He didn't die?
Just then, Jiangnan came dragging an island!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "What's going on? I heard it from far away. What's this about the Old Fire God going on the road? I just went to get the island, and Grandpa Xiao is already dead?"
At that moment, Ye Zhenguo and the others' heads were buzzing!
Because they not only found out Xiao Chuihuo was fine, but his level had also reached Dao Heaven Ten Stars!
And Zhao Dezhu, Li Kai, Wang Zong, and the others were all full of life, several of them also at Dao Heaven!
They looked much younger than before!
Yang Jian was shocked. He lunged forward, grabbing Jiangnan's neck and squeezing until Jiangnan's eyes rolled back!
"This is your trump card? I thought Uncle Xiao was dead! Give me back my tears, dammit!"
"You cured the old pioneers from the Pioneer Nursing Home?"
Jiangnan teleported out of Yang Jian's naked choke, hands spread!
╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "You said Huaxia doesn't have much high-end combat power, so I cured the grandpas and grandmas? Is that enough?"
Yang Jian was so excited he couldn't speak. Enough? This was an explosion! In this situation, even one more Dao Heaven was a boost to their foundation!
And the Nursing Home had so many, each with their own specialties!
The Fire God hadn't fallen; he had returned in a strong posture!
This was what Jiangnan had been cooking up at the Academy?
"But they all had Dao injuries, almost incurable. How did you..."
Jiangnan shrugged: ʅ(・´‸・`)ʃ "Dao injuries? Can't you just cure them with a little cupping?"
Yang Jian covered his face. Damn cupping cured them!
But at that moment, Chen Daoyi and Luo Jiaoyang were unsettled, rushing to Xiao Chuihuo!
Chen Daoyi poked Xiao Chuihuo!
(◞´◔.̫.̫◔`) "Tell me, how much fart did you inhale to get this young?"
Xiao Chuihuo was stunned: ୧(·•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "What fart? You're the one who inhaled farts! I sniffed an incense bead, and got younger!"
Chen Daoyi was struck as if by lightning:
(•'口'•۶)۶ "What? You sniffed a whole lump? Did you run into that Star-Devouring Giant Worm taking a crap?"
Xiao Chuihuo scratched his head: "Taking a crap? Isn't the incense bead refined? She..."
Chen Daoyi realized: "Don't you know those incense beads are the star-devouring giant worm's excreted five-grain-cycle-of-life-and-death stuff?"
Upon hearing that, Xiao Chuihuo immediately petrified on the spot!
Then a red gleam appeared in his eyes!
(ꐦ͡’益͡’) "Jiang! Nan!"
[From Xiao Chuihuo: Resentment Value +1003!]
[From Xiao Chuihuo...]
Jiangnan: レ(゚﹏゚;)ヘ=З=З=З
"Blue Star isn't safe anymore? Is it too late to apply for asylum on the moon?"
