89: Chapter 89 Everything is moving in a positive direction
The god general leaps.
The god general sleeps.
After returning home, Yue Yun buried himself in reviewing the game.
"The gap between you and me is still huge!"
Yue Shu mocked him mercilessly.
Yue Yun could not refute this, and was soon chased back to his bedroom by his sister to sleep, entering into a sweet dream.
Miao Sang also fell into a deep sleep.
After consuming the dragon blood potion no. 14 again, the massive energy contained in the potion was triggered, and all its stats were growing rapidly.
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu also returned to their normal lives.
Time flew by amidst the frolicking.
New Year's Eve.
The shrunken Storm Dragon stood in the center of the living room, its dragon snout painted with heart-shaped lipstick, and false eyelashes stuck onto its azure dragon eyes; it was hideously ugly.
Wearing an oversized black and white maid outfit, with a broom held like a toy in its hand, it looked utterly ridiculous.
The Storm Dragon, however, did not think so.
It seemed quite satisfied with its makeup, standing in front of Yue Shu to show it off generously, allowing her to take pictures as a keepsake.
Yue Shu laughed until her stomach hurt.
As a member of the household, Miao Sang was not spared either.
Its chubby body was draped in a small lion dance costume, and the tiger-head hat perched on its head made it look adorable, almost causing Yue Shu to swoon from cuteness.
But that was not all!
Its face was adorned with long, white whiskers and eyebrows, paired with round cat eyes and a disc-like face, making it look like a benevolent, elderly Immortal.
"Jazz Noble Cat!"
Yue Shu shrieked and pulled Miao Sang into her arms.
She fiddled with it incessantly, rubbing its belly and tugging at its cheeks, occasionally letting out cackles like an old witch.
Miao Sang was already used to this.
Yue Yun brought the dishes out from the kitchen, glanced at his sister, shook his head, and could not help but mutter: "Crazy!"
He placed the last dish on the dining table.
"Sweet and sour carp, done!"
Looking at the six New Year's Eve dishes that were rich in color, aroma, and taste, Yue Yun could not help but curl his lips and nod in satisfaction.
He turned his head to look at his sister again.
A diligent younger brother taking care of his disabled older sister sounded very inspirational; it felt like he could set up a crowdfunding page to scam some sympathy!
Yue Shu seemed to sense something.
She cast a sharp, knife-like gaze at Yue Yun, forcing him to suppress his upturned lips to avoid revealing what he was thinking.
He coughed lightly and said: "Let's eat!"
"Yay!"
Yue Shu raised her hands happily.
She walked to the dining table and sat down, framing all six dishes in her camera and taking a photo to show off to her friends.
The gluttons in the club group chat all popped up.
Xie Qingci, who was lying on the sofa, swallowed her saliva, put on her slippers, and ran straight to the kitchen, only to be chased out a moment later.
"You don't need to help, go cool off somewhere else!"
"Okay, Mom!"
Xie Qingci nodded obediently, ran back to her original spot with the crispy pork she had harvested, and burrowed back into the nest she had piled up on the sofa.
Such scenes were constantly playing out in the East District, with the atmosphere of reunion permeating every corner, lively and warm...
Everything is moving in a good direction.
After the New Year's Eve dinner.
Although the siblings did not feel the house was lonely, they still chose to go out for a stroll to enjoy the lively Spring Festival atmosphere.
Swoosh~ Pop!
The ignited fireworks shot straight into the sky like meteors flying in reverse, exploding in mid-air and blooming into red and blue fireworks.
"It's quite pretty, but it's too small!"
"Indeed."
Yue Yun nodded in agreement with Yue Shu.
Yue Shu seemed to remember something and suddenly asked with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to buy some fireworks to set off too?"
"I think I'll pass."
Yue Yun smiled faintly and declined his sister's suggestion, his peripheral vision suddenly noticing Wu Di not far away.
Wu Di was wearing a thick police uniform, wandering around as if he had nothing to do, but his gaze was scanning the crowd swiftly.
He had noticed Yue Yun a long time ago.
"Brother Wu, here to catch bad guys?"
"It's New Year's Eve, even the bad guys get a holiday!"
Wu Di replied pitifully: "I'm just checking to see if there are any non-compliant dangerous behaviors and providing some appropriate guidance."
He paused and looked towards Yue Shu.
As the top scholar of Nanyuan Province three years ago, that majestic Storm Dragon was impressive; with her terrifying talent, she might have already become an Elite Beast Tamer.
Yue Shu took the initiative to thank Wu Di.
Thanks to Wu Di's help, the matter with the three black-gloved individuals was resolved so simply; otherwise, there would have been quite a bit of trouble.
Wu Di chatted with Yue Shu for a few sentences, then turned to look at Yue Yun: "The matter you asked me to keep an eye on has some leads..."
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Yue Yun let out a sharp cough.
Wu Di was interrupted by his sudden illness and had not had a chance to continue before he saw Yue Yun winking at him frantically.
Yue Yun pointed to his phone and changed the subject: "My friend said they've arrived, let's hurry over!"
He pulled Yue Shu away without further ado.
Wu Di scratched his head, feeling it was quite funny.
"Is this kid really that worried?"
He dared not even tell his own sister about this kind of life-threatening trouble; was he afraid of harming his family, or afraid of his family dealing with him?
Wu Di thought it was the second case.
He understood Yue Yun's hint, took out his phone, edited the message he wanted to say, sent it, and continued his patrol.
"Working on New Year's Eve, who can I complain to?"
Wu Di could not stop grumbling in his heart.
...
Yue Yun and Yue Shu did not go too far.
They continued to stroll around the square and soon ran into their respective acquaintances, immediately parting ways on the spot.
Xue Qin looked curiously at Yue Shu's back: "Your sister looks a bit familiar, I feel like I've seen her somewhere."
Yue Yun was already used to this.
"Hint: the provincial top scholar from three years ago."
"What, the provincial top scholar from three years ago is your sister?"
Xue Qin widened her eyes suddenly, and Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu also looked in the direction where Yue Shu disappeared in surprise, finally realizing where the familiarity with Yue Shu came from.
That was the Beast Tamer with S-rank Beast Taming Talent, who had defeated the prodigy from the Imperial Capital and won the title of top scholar that year, having contracted a Storm Dragon!
Dragon-type Pet Beast means powerful strength.
S-rank Beast Taming Talent, as long as one does not die early, they are bound to become a powerhouse.
Combining the two, the future is limitless!
Xue Qin sized up Yue Yun from head to toe, realized his deep background, and her expression became fawning.
"Brother Yun, don't forget us when you become rich and powerful!"
Xu Qingfang was more direct, grabbing Yue Yun by the neck: "You actually have such an amazing background, yet you let us worry about you; you deserve to die, you guy!"
Yue Yun hurriedly begged for mercy.
After the laughing and playing, the three of them walked toward the river embankment.
"It's a pity that Su Su is still recuperating and can't come out to play."
Xue Qin shook her head with some regret, hands in her pockets, kicking the stones on the side of the road: "Why are we going to the river embankment?"
"Mo Yu is setting up a barbecue at the river embankment, first come, first served!"
Xu Qingfang revealed the secret.
He ran off wildly without any sportsmanship, leaving Yue Yun and Xue Qin behind, drawing angry rebukes from both of them.
"Don't run, watch me beat you to death!"
"Old Xu, you're too mean!"
Xue Qin and Yue Yun looked at each other.
The two of them also hurriedly ran toward the river embankment, stirring up gusts of cold wind as they passed, emitting an ethereal and wailing sound.
