Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 166 Oh, It’s No Big Deal
Tang Xiaotang kept muttering all the way, and everyone else tacitly agreed not to try to persuade her.
I don’t know how long it took, but Tang Xiaotang was already feeling bored, so she simply stopped and put away the thorn whip.
"Your control over star power has improved a lot. You waved the whip around in such a small carriage without hurting anyone." Tang Zheng waited for her to calm down before making a joke.
"Ahhh, I've said so much...is that the point?" Tang Xiaotang wanted to cry but had no tears.
If she was the only one who failed to complete the task assigned by Li Xiaoren, it would drag down the progress of the entire team's team battle!
When she was in Wulong Town, she was the best in everything in Tangjiabao, and some of her older brothers and sisters could not compare to her.
However, when she arrived at Yisuli Academy, she found that she was actually at the bottom of the list!
This is not funny at all.
Leng Zhan folded his hands and closed his eyes, not knowing whether he fell asleep.
The population density in the outer streets was relatively high, and the sounds of the spirits were also relatively loud. Once the carriage became quiet, the sounds of the spirits outside became even clearer...
Tang Xiaotang put the thorn whip back to her waist, looked out the window of the carriage, and called out, "Master."
"Hmm?" Tang Zheng raised his head and smiled.
"You are really awesome!" Tang Xiaotang said softly.
"Why are you saying this suddenly?"
"Leng Zhan's title of Thunder God was earned through years of hard work, but you became a god in the Feishi City Star Arena in just one day! If I hadn't fought for the stars myself, I wouldn't have known how difficult it was. So... I've always wondered, why would someone like you appear in Tangjiabao? Why would you become our teacher?"
"Oh?" Tang Zheng grasped the "key point" this time and immediately asked, "I am also a god? He is the God of Thunder? Then what kind of god am I?"
"..." Tang Xiaotang felt that it was not easy to say a few serious words in front of Tang Zheng, and she curled her lips in annoyance.
Jiang Wuyan looked at Tang Zheng blankly.
He couldn't be sure whether Tang Zheng was deliberately avoiding Tang Xiaotang's questions, or was really more concerned about his title?
Meng Fenghua looked at Jiang Wuyan's face, which looked like he was being played with, and knew that this guy was not used to Tang Zheng's jumping rhythm yet.
Tang Zheng was still gesturing: "The Cold War's title 'Thor' is well known to everyone. A handsome man like me must have a resounding title. Well, what's my name? Overlord? God of War?"
Meng Fenghua stroked his forehead: "You have been fighting one after another, and you don't even know what they call you..."
"Go ahead." Tang Zheng said expectantly.
"Hey, Master, your name is Dai Mengli..."
"..." When Tang Zheng heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Dai Meng Li, three characters. Everyone thinks that calling him Dai Shen is not very polite, and calling him Li Shen... that sounds too much like a demon, so..."
"I don't want to hear any more."
"So, you're called the cute god!"
"..." The corner of Tang Zheng's mouth twitched, and a thousand horses galloped through his heart.
Five words floated in the sky. What is this?
My wisdom was ruined in an instant. Why the hell did I give myself a cute raccoon name just to match it with "Fruity Cat"?
Now it’s good, God of Cuteness!
Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven. Misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be survived. No zuo no die!
"Yes, cute, it symbolizes rebirth and growth..." Leng Zhan added a brilliant sentence.
"You don't have to speak !"
"Uh... Master?" Tang Xiaotang blinked. "This is a happy thing. The warriors in Feishi City all like you very much."
"Can't you have a little respect for the word 'God'? Don't you think it's inappropriate to put 'God' and 'cute' together?"
The four people in the car shook their heads collectively, and Meng Fenghua and Jiang Wuyan also looked confused.
What's the inconsistency between cute and divine?
Also, why should we have a little respect for the word "God"?
Tang Zheng was speechless. This was the cultural generation gap. If you didn’t understand the joke, you couldn’t communicate!
…
Four white horses, taking graceful steps, finally pulled the carriage into the inner street.
The warriors in the Feishi City Star Arena, of course, hoped that Yisu Academy would produce talents, so they helped Tang Zheng and gave him a godly title early on.
Anyway, for the people of Xingyao Continent, the one they admire is the Purple Gold Emperor. As for things like gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters, it doesn't matter if they are called anything.
The Purple Gold Emperor is not a god, but he is better than gods.
Therefore, deifying is a small matter, but becoming an emperor is a big deal - among the eighty-one aristocratic families in the territory, there are hundreds of nine-star strongmen, but even the top strongmen of the seven top families only dare to call themselves "family heads", and no one dares to be emperor.
Tang Zheng and the others didn't say anything else, and the carriage fell into silence.
Night, silence, crying...
Tang Zheng sighed: "Is this the festival of sacrifice?"
Leng Zhan was already used to it and just nodded. He had spent so many years in Jade City and had spent so many festivals there that he no longer felt anything.
In a frontier city like Fei Shi City, almost every family has relatives buried on the battlefield. The cries in the wind are heard one after another and can be heard from far away.
It was not until we entered the inner streets that the sounds of the spirits became much quieter.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no relatives in Inner Street who died in the front line against the demon tribe, but the population density in Inner Street is relatively low, and it is a school district. Even if many people feel grief, they keep it silent in their hearts.
When they were in Wulong Town before, Tang Zheng and his friends had only heard that in the nearby border town, there was a sacrificial day every month. But even after arriving in Feishi City, they had never participated in it because the sacrificial day started in the evening and ended in the early morning.
Only today, because I stayed late at the Star Arena, when I came back I just happened to catch the funeral ceremonies of every household before dinner.
Originally, Tang Zheng was joking as he walked through the outer street, thinking that things would be better when he entered the inner street, but that was not the case at all.
When he was on the outer street, he could still suppress the inexplicable emotion in his heart, could speak, and tried his best to calm his emotions by chatting and joking with Xiaotang. However, after entering the inner street, he felt that he had no interest in talking.
I don't want to talk, I just want to be silent.
The anniversary of the sacrifice was not as spectacular as he had imagined, with thousands of people crying in the streets. Instead, it was a kind of sadness that was like being pressed under a heavy dark cloud and unable to be expressed.
Perhaps, this is war.
Whether it is killing or skills, they can be practiced in the game, but this is the only thing that cannot be practiced in the game.
No matter how realistic a game is, it is still just a game. This kind of sadness that permeates Emerald City is something that a game geek in peacetime cannot adapt to immediately, no matter how good his mental quality is.
Tang Zheng stopped joking and the carriage became even quieter.
"We're almost there." Leng Zhan quietly opened his eyes and looked out the carriage window twice.
"Yeah." Tang Zheng nodded, "I'll get off the car and take a walk."
Leng Zhan raised his eyelids and glanced at Tang Zheng, his eyes full of inquiry.
Although he had not had much contact with Tang Zheng, he knew that he was a man with a big heart. Someone who could remain cheerful and cheerful even when a mountain collapsed in front of him should not be affected by the sound of calling for spirits, right?
Just as he was thinking this, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "It's stuffy in the car."
"Yeah, it's quite boring. I'll go with you..." Tang Xiaotang stood up.
The carriage stopped soon.
The windless weather in late autumn does have a kind of silent sultry feeling.
Tang Zheng jumped off the carriage first, and the others followed. Leng Zhan was the last one to get off. Seeing Tang Zheng's half-smiley face, he looked at him again and frowned, "It's stuffy outside too."
“It’s a little better than in the car.”
"not much."
"Well, but it's still better." Tang Zheng continued this meaningless conversation with Leng Zhan in a calm voice.
They were still two blocks away from the academy, and the avenues were wide and spacious.
A group of five people walked quietly on the street, and no one spoke.
There was not a trace of breeze, and the air was getting increasingly humid. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", a flash of lightning flashed, and a loud thunder exploded in the sky.
"Get in the car, it's going to rain." Jiang Wuyan pointed to the carriage that was moving slowly behind them.
As soon as he finished speaking, a few drops of water fell from the sky.
It looked like a rain shower was about to come.
Tang Zheng took two deep breaths and asked Xiaotang, Fenghua and the others to get on the carriage first. Just as he got on the carriage, another flash of lightning streaked across the sky...
The corner not far away was instantly lit up by the lightning.
A familiar figure suddenly lit up with the flash of lightning, and then immediately disappeared.
Tang Zheng put his hand on the door of the carriage, looking in the direction where the lightning appeared, without turning his head for a long time.
"Master? What's wrong?" Tang Xiaotang stretched out her hand and pulled him up, "If you don't come up, you'll get wet in the rain!"
"..." Tang Zheng lifted the car curtain and looked at the corner again, but saw only darkness.
"What did you see?" Meng Fenghua also looked outside when she saw Tang Zheng's reaction.
"Nothing, I seem to see someone who shouldn't be there." Tang Zheng shook his head slightly.
"Master, who is it? What do you mean by someone who shouldn't be there? Do we know each other?" Tang Xiaotang blinked.
"I know him... and he's someone you'll never forget in your life." Tang Zheng stared into Tang Xiaotang's eyes, an inexplicable smile on his lips, "Oh... it's nothing serious. I saw Lan Shaoze."
Tang Xiaotang, who was fearless, froze in an instant. You call this "no big deal"? !
Lan Shaoze! He was indeed someone they would never forget in their lives. Not to mention others, Tang Xiaotang stared at his head for at least ten breaths.
A private residence with a head hanging high, that was Lan Shaoze's ending, and it was also the price he paid for destroying Tangjiabao!
Meng Fenghua looked at Jiang Wuyan, who was sitting opposite her with a probing gaze, and frowned slightly.
"Lan Shaoze, is he good at fighting?" Leng Zhan, who had been silent all the time, looked at their reactions and asked.
