# Chapter 1708: The Unlucky Southern Man
Back with Jiangnan, everyone was staring nervously at Faka Wei!
She kept twitching, while Corgi, who was holding Faka Wei, was grinning like a sunflower!
He had no idea what he was daydreaming about over there!
Faka Wei's electronic voice crackled:
Hoo~(︶ε︶✽)"It's over!"
Corgi: ❀(๑⁼̴ᴥ⁼̴)✿
"I'm over too!"
Jiangnan: (•'口'•۶)۶???
What exactly are you over with too? That fast? Are you two even talking about the same thing?
"How are Xiong Er and the others?"
Faka Wei's voice trembled: "Qi Delong Dongqiang ate some chewing gum and cursed away Bracelet Wei's grass bracelet. Now Bracelet Wei is being ganged up on by the Muscle Beast Regiment!"
"Xiong Er and the others took the chance to escape with the track spike and went through a space gate into another Ling Xu. They're safe for now, no one fell behind!"
Just because you're safe, could you please stop poking the ring Wei?
They really went all out to deal with Bracelet Wei!
Hearing this, Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Tian was ecstatic:
٩(•̀ꇴ•́๑)و "Xiong Er is so awesome!"
Jiangnan just chuckled. It wasn't for nothing that he'd equipped them with the backpack, right?
But he wasn't surprised by this result at all. If they couldn't even do that, Xiong Er wouldn't have followed Jiangnan around for so long!
Now there were only two track spikes left, one guarded by Mountain Cat and the others, and the last one was still missing!
Jiangnan was getting a bit anxious. Everyone else had gotten something, but he'd been wandering through over sixty Ling Xu, killing a basketful of Weis, and all he encountered were either blank maps or Ling Xu without track spikes!
And he'd let Yangque get away.
When had his luck gotten so bad?
His gaze fell on Liu Mang:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)"Is it your dark face that's jinxing me? Ah-choo-choo~ Who thought of me twice?"
Liu Mang's face got even darker. Who do you think made me this dark?!
No matter how anxious Jiangnan was, he could only keep looking slowly. At least Mountain Cat and the others were still covering the bases.
(•̆～•̆)"Tch~ Annoying!"
Faka Wei: (≖_≖)
Can you stop stealing my lines?
...
In the Huosang Ling Xu, Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue were walking hand in hand through the volcanoes, searching everywhere!
Xia Yao was hopping along happily, her fluffy wolf tail wagging back and forth:
(ง⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)ว "Star Glory~ Star Glory~ Yao Yao is the best~ Awwooo~"
She sang as she sniffed the air, clearly trying to pick up Yangque's scent!
Zhong Yingxue looked at her with exasperation:
(⇀‸↼‶)"You've been singing the whole way. Are you really that happy?"
Earlier, the two had planned to go after Yangque, and Xia Yao had even set a flag on the spot!
Sure enough, after some effort, Xia Yao managed to break through to Star Glory One Star just in time!
Xiao Nan had failed again, and again, and again!
Xia Yao said excitedly: (∗❛ั◡❛ั)"It's super accurate! Xuexue, try setting one too. You're already Diamond Ten anyway!"
"Maybe you'll break through right after you set it?"
Zhong Yingxue blushed, her eyes dodging:
(๑◔ε◔ิ๑)"N...no way. Don't you have any shame? Hurry up and find Yangque!"
"If we can't find it soon, we'll have to switch Ling Xu. Finding the track spike is more important!"
Xia Yao was a bit frustrated: (๑･᷄～･᷅)"I finally made it to Star Glory, but Yangque is nowhere to be found! Damn it!"
They had already searched the entire Huosang Ling Xu, even the volcanic magma pools!
Zhong Yingxue didn't want to waste any more time here!
Xia Yao gritted her teeth: "Let's look for three more hours. If we still can't find it..."
Before she could finish, Zhong Yingxue secretly started muttering under her breath!
(ﾉ)◔₃◔ิ)"I swear, I have to get either Yangque or Xiao Nan. Otherwise..."
Xia Yao: (˵ಡ.̫ಡ˵)"Oh? What are you doing, Xuexue?"
Zhong Yingxue's expression froze, and she blushed even deeper!
˚‧º·(๐˃᷄﹏˂᷅๐)‧º·˚"No! I didn't! You misheard!"
She immediately gave a triple denial, but just then, space mist suddenly appeared in the distance!
A white sun came crashing in at an alarming speed, burning everything in its path, and finally slammed into a volcano, sending magma splattering everywhere!
Xia Yao: "(ºДº*)
Zhong Yingxue: ∑(°口°๑)
Th...this accurate?
Just how unlucky is Xiao Nan?!
"I want Yangque!"
Heaven: "That's too hard. Pick something else!"
"I want to get on Xiao Nan!"
Heaven: "Alright, let's talk about Yangque instead..."
She had just sworn, and Yangque came crashing in?
So it couldn't be found earlier because it had flown into another Ling Xu for a stroll? And now it had wandered back?
The two exchanged glances, both filled with excitement!
Was this too lucky or what? Zhong Yingxue even suspected she had eaten some kind of word spirit chewing gum!
(｡･᷄-･᷅)"But... is it really okay to swear on Xiao Nan's happiness like this?"
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و "Who cares! Let's get Yangque first!"
The two quietly hid and peeked!
Yangque had crashed into the volcano, its flames gradually dying out, revealing its true form...
A flesh-colored bald chicken looked angrily at its own wings, flapping them frantically!
No matter how hard it closed its eyes and tried, its feathers just wouldn't grow back!
It kicked stones in frustration and chirped endlessly!
Xia Yao: ꉂꉂ◟(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๑)༡ "Pfft-haha! Where did its feathers go? Last time we saw it, didn't it have gorgeous golden feathers? How..."
Zhong Yingxue's eyelids twitched: "When it went out just now, could it have run into Xiao Nan?"
There was no way a Yangque would suddenly lose its feathers for no reason. And it had nirvana, so it could grow them back!
This was clearly the effect of being poisoned by Dali!
Xia Yao barely held back her laughter: (´థжథ)"No need to guess. That's it! Pluck the bird when it passes? That's just Xiao Nan's style. This Yangque is really unlucky!"
"But he didn't take its spirit pearl? Did Xiao Nan have a change of heart?"
This Yangque managed to escape from Xiao Nan alive?
That was kind of impressive!
Xia Yao said excitedly: "How do we do this? I can seal it now! Even a Dao Heaven Two Stars is no problem!"
Zhong Yingxue thought: "We can't rush it. Your compressed Polar Day Cloud Whirl has a diameter of only three meters!"
"It would spot us before we got that close. Once it uses its sun flare, we're both done for!"
"And its defense is also a problem. We need to find a way to break through a Dao Heaven Rank's defense!"
Xia Yao frowned: "Let it get close without suspicion, seal it, then draw blood and take the pearl? Hmm~"
She stared at Yangque for a long time, then her eyes suddenly lit up:
(͡°.̫͡°)✧ "I've got an idea! Hehehe~ It's even a female? Nice!"
Zhong Yingxue quickly looked away: "What kind of weird details are you focusing on?!"
With its feathers gone, of course you could clearly tell male from female!
Xia Yao grinned mischievously:
(￢▿￢O)"Of course gender matters! Just watch and see how Da Lang Mie tricks and kills a Dao Heaven Beast!"
With that, she pulled Chicken Biscuit and Small Pudding from her backpack!
Zhong Yingxue's mouth fell open. Was Yao Yao planning to...
...
A melodious chirping song echoed through the Fire Mulberry forest!
The Yangque, which had been sulking on the volcano peak, suddenly perked up when it heard the song!
Σ(ŐɐŐ๑)
It recognized that sound instantly. That was a special call only Yangque made!
Were there other Yangque here besides itself?
And that hoarse, magnetic voice was clearly a male's!
It couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to fly over to see, but when it looked at its own bald chicken appearance, it lost confidence!
Even if it flew over, the other one wouldn't be interested in it, right?
But in the end, it couldn't resist and turned into a sun, flying toward the sound!
Following the song, it arrived at a Fire Mulberry forest, and the moment it saw the other bird, it couldn't look away!
There, on a Fire Mulberry branch, stood a golden Yangque the size of a washbasin, singing to the sky!
˚*̥(︶ɐ︶O)༡˚*̥
It had a full set of gorgeous golden feathers, a splendid tail!
It was absolutely magnificent, with an extraordinary aura—definitely a handsome bird!
Red flames flickered around its body!
The two birds' eyes met in the air, colliding!
(*ᵒ̴̶̷ɐᵒ̴̶̷)─♡─(ᵒ̶̶̷̀ɐ˂̶́O)
The Yangque felt its heart instantly struck, pounding wildly!
Was this what love at first sight felt like?
Xia Yangque: !!!
Aah, it's burning me to death! Don't come any closer!
Even under Zhong Yingxue's protection, Xia Yangque felt like it was about to be roasted!
But on the surface, it remained calm:
(O•̆ɐ•̆)"Miss, please don't come any closer!"
"I'm afraid your charismatic flames might burn my heart!"
Having eaten Chicken Biscuit, Small Pudding, and Pop Rocks, Xia Yangque could naturally understand beast language. After hanging around Xiong Er for so long, if she couldn't speak beast language, Xia Yao would have wasted her time!
The Yangque shuddered. Oh my! He... was he complimenting her charisma?
This handsome little bird had such a way with words!
So it withdrew its solar flames, but still kept some fire burning on its body!
Xia Yangque was visibly startled: "Your feathers..."
At that mention, the Yangque exploded:
(ꐦ°᷄ɐ°᷅)"Don't even bring that up! It's all because of that damn human! Damn it! If I ever run into him again, I'll roast him and eat him!"
Xia Yangque barely held back her laughter. No need to guess, it had to be Xiao Nan!
The Yangque said shyly:
(ﾉ)ɐ(ヾ)"I... I must look terrible, right?"
Xia Yangque said with deep affection:
(๑･᷄ɐ･᷅)"How could that be? You must be smart enough to have lost your feathers! Heaven is just jealous of your magnificent bird beauty!"
"Besides, when two birds are together, shouldn't they value the heart more?"
"Your featherless look has deeply captivated me!"
"You might not believe it, but I think I've fallen in love with you!"
At this moment, the flames on Xia Yangque's body flickered uncontrollably!
Zhong Yingxue was going crazy from holding back her laughter. A seductive wolf girl, flirting with a bird online!
What level of flirting technique was this?! If Xiao Nan had even a tenth of this skill, he'd have kids running around by now!
The Yangque covered its face with its wings shyly:
(づɐど)"You... you're so mean~"
Xia Yangque laughed heartily:
(Oᵔɐᵔ)"Hehehe! Let's not beat around the bush! You're really hot!"
"So... want to make baby birds together, dear?"
Yangque: ∑(๑°ɐ°)Gah?!
Zhong Yingxue: Pfft~ꉂꉂ(˃᷄ε˂᷅๑)
