Eighty-Nine - Duel under a clear sky
The wordless silence lasted nearly two minutes.
In the end, Dongfang Canglong turned the emotion in his heart into a long sigh.
"Because maybe this is the best ending for those three people, you little bastard stepping on three boats, old man, I will turn one eye open and close one eye for the time being. I said, little doll...... Is it really good for you to do this? Your love affair was finally realized, and the past ten years of Rong Ma career also gave you a prestigious reputation and far more wealth than the four people needed to live togetherββββ the so-called fame and fortune in the world, and the hero hugged the beauty, which is exactly the case. The guy who cut off one of the old man's arms is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even if you take action from the little doll back then, you may not be able to get out of it all. What's more, according to what you said, your skills have regressed a lot now...... If it doesn't work, it's a horse leather shroud. When the time comes, those three will surely spend their entire lives in grief...... Is it worth it to abandon the happiness that is about to come to untie a knot?"
"It's not worth it. That's why I'm here. β
"Hey, isn't that a nice face? Looking at you now, it reminds the old man of who I was back then...... That's it. It seems that you little doll has already made up your mind, even if I try to persuade you to give up, old man, it will be in vain......"
Speaking of this, Dongfang Canglong flicked down the sleeve on his left side and straightened up. In the next moment, the whole person jumped into the air, and just landed firmly in the garden in front of Ji Yuehua, beckoning to him.
"Stand up, it's time to rest! As the elder of Xiao Zi, it is my responsibility to ensure their happiness in the future...... Since you little doll is obsessed and stubborn like a cow, I have to teach you little bastard a lesson myself, old man, and beat you little bastard half to death, and then send it to my granddaughter as a groom. If you can't even beat me, an old man of the age of a candle, don't try to go out to sea on a boat to compete with that black guy!"
"In that case, I'm being disrespectful."
The sharp gaze like a blade shaved Ji Yuehua's face with a faint pain.
The overwhelming and overwhelming sense of coercion is not at all like the "old man in the year of the wind and candle" that the other party said, but it is reminiscent of natural disasters.
Sensing that the Dongfang Canglong on the opposite side had ignited the battle intent, Ji Yuehua slowly straightened up and pulled out his current blue blade from the void.
"Bai Xue" ββββ weapon given to him by Ling Chujing out of his own pocket as a commemorative gift for his return to the military headquarters.
Although it is not as good as the "Prison Flame" that was hand-crafted by Eight Meaning Yonglin and has been strengthened many times later, it also has the best quality among the many weapons produced by the Technology Development Bureau. It is a "mythical weapon" of the ice and snow system.
The long-lost sense of exaltation rolled in his chest
...... Ah, how long has it been?
Although he was beaten all over his body by the other party when he rescued his juniors, he was already blinded by complex emotions such as hatred, anger and sense of responsibility at that time. Strictly speaking, it's not in a state of perfection.
How long has it been since he met an opponent who can make his blood boil and enjoy the fight from the bottom of his heart, even he can't tell......
But, even so, there is no doubt about one thing.
ββββ Dongfang Canglong in front of him is definitely qualified to act as the one who ignites the passion in his heart.
"Having said that, if we fight here, aren't you afraid that the house will be demolished, old man Dongfang?"
β...... That's right, too. Old man, I almost forgot that your little doll specializes in using those "attribute weapons" that can transform "divine energy", and it won't be easy to do if your little doll burns down my house......"
"Well, given that my previous knife was confiscated by Sister Yonglin, strictly speaking, I have no way to manipulate the flames now, and can only create a little freezing effect......"
"Isn't that exactly the same!? Listen, you little doll has no idea how terrifying Mengmei is when she gets angry...... If Monmei came back and saw this house turned into an ice sculpture, you little bastard and I would definitely be buried in the ground...... No, it will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea! No, I'll have to find another way......"
Speaking of this, as if he remembered some bad memories, Dongfang Canglong had a sad expression on his face.
At the moment, ignoring the fact that both of them had already put on a fighting posture, Dongfang Canglong put away the fighting intent on his body, and crossed his arms and fell into thought. After a while, he said in a deep voice.
β...... So be it. Come to think of it, old man, it's been a long time since I've fought anyone...... Although I beat up the thug who accosted my wife not long ago, those don't count. All in all, old man, what I want to say is, why don't we have a game before we start fighting?"
Hearing Dongfang Canglong's words, he instantly understood what the other party meant.
Ji Yuehua gently closed one eye, with a smile on her face, reached out and touched her lips and said.
"Okay. Speaking of which, I also participated in a long-distance race organized by Mr. Zuo...... Do you want to run to the uninhabited grassland, or to the deep mountains?"
"Huh, do you need to talk about it? Of course, it's better to go deep into the mountains! Do you know how many surveillance cameras you pass on your way from here to the grassland? If Monmei can't find us when she comes back, she's going to look through the records with her personality...... At that time, she may complain to the Bayi Nuwa and Xiao Zi?"
β...... That's still it. I don't want Sister Zi and the others to know about my plans yet...... Having said that, although it has been so far, your wife, old man Dongfang, is really more terrifying than you imagined. Outside of that, I always feel that your home mode is very different from what I imagined......"
"Humph! Don't gloat here, you little bastard. Don't think it's fun to marry several wives...... Especially Xiao Zi, a girl with a distinct personality, a strong sense of autonomy, and an overly smart mind, is actually very difficult to entangle. Don't worry, you'll only be worse off in the future than the old man and me. β
For Ji Yuehua's teasing, Dongfang Canglong glared at him with a smile and scolded, and pushed back.
"Don't waste any more time. The target is the highest mountain that can be seen from this side, four mountains away from this side. There is a centuries-old tree there. Walk directly in front of the ancient tree, if it were your little doll, you should be able to hear the sound of running water. Let's meet at the bottom of the waterfall at the end of the sound of flowing water!"
"If I win the game, is there any reward?"
"You bastard, you even blackmail an old man like me...... So be it. The loser comes back with an excuse to explain to Monmei where the two of us went. β
"It's a deal!"
It's as if it's a signal.
As the last syllable of the word "ding" fell, Ji Yuehua and Dongfang Canglong ran towards the agreed place.
Although each of them is burdened with fame, they once stood at the top of the military department in different eras. However, after retirement, they are just two people who live an ordinary life.
Under the dazzling sun, the old and the young sweated because they did not admit defeat to each other.
As for the outcome of this match, and even who will win and who will lose in the matchup after that, that's another story......
