Chapter 902: Mandarin ducks in the night
Translator: 549690339
July 13th, afternoon.
As the sun set, the Bailin Olympic Sports Center was filled with cheers and applause.
On the green field, Jiang Xiao held the fangtian halberd in his left hand and placed it behind his back. He then raised his right hand high and gestured to the audience in all directions.
On the other side of the field, a team of medical staff was resuscitating a contestant.
The host, Li Li, shouted excitedly,””Top 16! After two years, G.o.d Pi is still as strong as ever. He has lived up to expectations and has entered the top 16 again!”
“So far, the individual compet.i.tion of the Chinese national team has ended. A total of four players have made it to the top 16. From the looks of it, the results of this year’s national team are much better than the previous one,” ye Xunyang said emotionally.
Li Li hurriedly looked at the computer on the table and said,””The top 16 contestants are Zheng wanyou, the female soldier from xiangnan military school! Ethereal, the pride of the Niao race from Cainan star martial arts university! Yi qingchen, who came from the star Warrior University in the Central Plains and was known as the disciple of the poison healer! And Jiang xiaopi from Beijing Star Warrior University!”
Ye Xunyang was satisfied. As the hosts, they had followed the national team to the compet.i.tion. Through the commentary of match after match, they had long formed a special relations.h.i.+p with the national team players.
“Of the four Chinese players who made it into the top 16, three of them are medical a.s.sistants. This is really …” Ye Xunyang exclaimed.
“Haha, the camera is now on another Chinese team!” Li Li suddenly said with a smile,”the team from imperial capital Star Warrior University, who is also Jiang xiaopi’s team compet.i.tion teammate, has entered the top 14 in the national team compet.i.tion next door!”
The three-man team from Beijing Star Warrior University sat in the first row on the east side of the audience.
At this moment, Xia Yan was waving at Jiang Xiao. She had a handsome face, but she was cheering and jumping like a little girl. Such a scene was transmitted to thousands of households through the television screen, making them secretly laugh.
Jiang Xiao’s figure also entered the camera. He tried his best to raise his hand and punch Gu s.h.i.+ ‘an and Han Jiangxue one by one. However, when he punched Xia Yan, he was suddenly pulled back by her.
On the track behind, reporter he Huanhuan watched the scene with a smile and patiently waited for Jiang Xiao and his teammates to celebrate.
Xia Yan bent down and hugged Jiang Xiao’s head with her hands, after which she kissed him on his wet head.””That’s great! Pipi! I’ll reward you with one! mua~”
Jiang Xiao frantically struggled and retreated, but he couldn’t compare to Xia Yan at all in terms of strength.
Jiang Xiao only managed to escape from the “Devil’s grasp” under the obstruction of Han Jiangxue.
“Congratulations, Jiang xiaopi! As the last contestant to be confirmed in the top 16, do you have anything to say?” He Huan hurried forward and asked with a smile.
Jiang Xiao wiped his head with a look of disdain and shook the water droplets off his head.””There’s nothing much to say. I just hope that we won’t meet any Chinese opponents in the next round.”
Of course, the water droplets were not Xia Yan’s saliva, but the water that Jiang Xiao had used to drench his body with his tears STAR technique during the battle. However, Jiang Xiao’s actions made Xia Yan feel rather embarra.s.sed.
“Uh …” He Huan was obviously stunned for a moment before he caught up with Jiang Xiao’s thoughts and said,”what you’re worried about should be what the Chinese are worried about as well. In the top 16, our Chinese team has 4 spots. The probability of drawing the same team is not low. ”
Jiang Xiao grinned and said,”this reminds me of Xie Xie from the previous compet.i.tion. If there wasn’t a civil war, his results would have improved a lot.”
He Huan nodded and changed the topic,””Tomorrow is the ranking match for the losers. You’ll get a very rare break.
Since the start of the World Cup, you have to play two games every three days. Are you tired? What supported you until now?”
What supported me to this point?
Jiang Xiao smiled, turned slightly, and pointed at the fiery red audience behind him.
The cameraman followed Jiang Xiao’s instructions and recorded all the excited audience members.
Jiang Xiao waved at he Huan and turned around to leave.
“Ha …” He Huan sighed and didn’t chase after him. He watched Jiang Xiao’s back as he left and couldn’t help but pick up the microphone.”This is the most wonderful answer I’ve ever received in my career as an interview.”
In the changing room, Jiang Xiao pushed the door open and saw Yi qingchen waiting patiently.
Due to her high popularity and hot topic, the poison milk disciple was designated to compete in the Olympic Stadium. She had won the second match in the morning, but she had not left.
In fact, she was watching the compet.i.tion through the television in the changing room in the stadium, which was no different from watching the compet.i.tion in the hotel. However, the buzzcut boy was stubbornly waiting here.
Yi qingchen mimicked Gu s.h.i.+ ‘an’s actions in the camera earlier. He sat on the long bench and raised his right fist.
Jiang Xiao clenched his right fist and b.u.mped it against hers gently.””You don’t have to wait for me.”
Yi qingchen pursed his lips and lowered his head,””You still haven’t agreed to take me as your disciple.”
Jiang Xiao casually leaned the halberd against the wardrobe and said,””I agree to it.”
Yi qingchen lowered his head and continued,”I know that your time is very tight. You might be …” Ah?”
As she spoke, Yi qingchen suddenly felt that something was amiss. She raised her head abruptly and looked at Jiang Xiao, who was sitting on the long bench, with a confused look in her big beautiful eyes.”You agree?”
“Ah, he agreed.” Jiang Xiao wiped his wet hair with both hands and said,”my dear disciple, why don’t you get me a dry towel?” How can you be a good disciple with your poor judgment?”
“Oh, oh!” Yi qingchen hurriedly stood up and quickly walked to the bathroom. He had only taken two steps when his body flashed and he disappeared.
At the next moment, Yi qingchen’s body flickered and he appeared in front of Jiang Xiao.
After waiting for two seconds, Yi qingchen realized that Jiang Xiao had no intention of taking the towel. After hesitating for a while, she placed the towel on Jiang Xiao’s head and knelt down to wipe it gently.
Jiang Xiao’s voice could be heard from under the towel.””In your Central Plains, is there anyone who uses an auspicious beast as a Mount?”
“What?” Yi qingchen was a little stunned and said,”the auspicious beast in the dimensional s.p.a.ce of Ye City? They … They could be ridden, but their intelligence wasn’t high, and they were a little irritable. Moreover, their limbs were too short. If they sat on them, the height was not suitable for fighting.
Yi qingchen pursed his lips, as if he was thinking of the cute image of the auspicious beast. A gentle smile appeared on his face,””What’s more, the head of the auspicious beast is too big and it blocks vision. It’s not a good choice for a Mount.”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao continued to whisper,”where’s the pair of mandarin ducks?”
Yi qingchen shook his head,’double night Gu and double night Mandarin Duck? They were similarly irascible, had low intelligence, and had no loyalty to speak of.
Moreover, they were too small to be mounts.
On the surface, they might look big, but that was only when they spread their wings. In fact, their bodies were very … Hmm, very fine. ”
Very thin?
Jiang Xiao heaved a deep sigh.
At the same time, in the strange ball.
Jiang Xiao and the rest managed to gain a foothold in the wilderness where there were many strange rocks.
As the seven-man team raised their fists, the two hundred ghost monks stopped in their tracks.
In the pitch-black night, ghostly monks wearing bamboo hats and straw capes stood silently in their original spots, exuding an eerie aura.
“Hiss~~~”
“Hiss~~~”
Two particularly melodious bird chirps broke through the night sky.
Everyone’s eyes moved away from the ruins in front of them. They raised their heads and looked up at the sky, at the two huge rainbow mandarin ducks.
Humans had named them “double night salamander” and “double night Mandarin Duck”. However, their huge bodies and long tail feathers were more like the phoenixes in Chinese mythology.
It was just that their heads were very similar to the image of mandarin ducks.
The layers of seven-colored feathers that gradually changed color could be said to be overflowing with light and color, as if they should only appear in dreams.
A pair of lovebirds flew above the team for a while, but they did not attack. Instead, they flew toward a ruin-like wilderness of strange stones.
Jiang Xiao slowly stretched out his hand and a seven-colored feather that was emitting a faint fluorescent light slowly floated down and landed on his palm.
The reason why this area was named Ye City by humans was that those strange stones would occasionally be pieced together to form the shape of human buildings. Some looked like stone houses, some looked like stone bridges, and some looked like stone gates.
But no matter what it looked like, it was the work of nature, and no living creature had partic.i.p.ated in the construction. Moreover, on earth, it was night all day in this dimensional s.p.a.ce, so there was the name “Night City”.
Jiang Xiao caught the colorful feather and gently rubbed it.
Beside him, Yue Yuchen said,”the auspicious beast and the double night Mandarin Duck are docile. They have high intelligence. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they will not choose to fight with other species.”
Jiang Xiao certainly wouldn’t doubt Yue Yuchen’s words.
However, the creatures in Ye City had become violent and brainless creatures when they arrived in the dimensional s.p.a.ce on Earth through layers of projections.
Jiang Xiao asked,’can the auspicious beast be used as a Mount? It’s for the ghost-faced monks to ride. ”
Li Haoge thought for a moment.”It’s totally possible. We humans are not suitable to ride auspicious beasts. But the ghost monks should be suitable. However …” He said.
“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“The ghost monks are all infantrymen,” li Haoge said.”They believe in their own legs more and are unwilling to have a Mount.”
Jiang Xiao turned to look at the ghostly monks and glanced at the seven of them before saying,””We don’t need to consider what they think. The heaven scorcher halberd should be a weapon for horses. ”
Upon hearing this, the seven-man team, including the ghost monks with the halberds, lowered their hats and did the same thing.
Obviously, the ghost monks were a little resistant to Jiang Xiao’s decision.
Yue Yuchen said,”since commander Jiang has decided, then I have a suggestion. The auspicious beast race is gentle and intelligent. We don’t need to fight or tame them. We only need to negotiate with them with food.”
“Do you know the characteristics of the auspicious beast very well?” Jiang Xiao asked curiously.
“Yes.” Yue Yuchen nodded.”The Phoenix ancient tower used to rear auspicious beasts, but …”
“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Yue Yuchen shook his head and sighed.”The auspicious beast is one of our sources of food. As I raised it, I developed feelings for it and no longer wanted to kill it. But the ancient Yi tower needs food, so I stopped raising it.”
Jiang Xiao nodded silently and said,””Let’s go and find some food for them. ”
Li Haoge said,”in the Central Plains, other than the ancient tower and Ye City, there are only shadow creatures and creatures from the star Cave. They can all be used as food.”
He Yun’s old voice suddenly came,””We’ve been on the road for two days and everyone is tired. Since the creatures in Ye City are docile, let’s rest here for the night.”
“Mm … That’s good too. ” Jiang Xiao said,”organize the team and rest in the stone formation. No fighting is allowed!”
One had to look at a problem objectively.
The ghost monk clan was originally a clan that loved to fight, but after experiencing the destruction of their home, the remaining two hundred ghost-faced monks were very obedient and were trying their best to suppress their nature.
The silent ghost monk Army settled at the edge of Ye City. Under the watch of the human Star Warriors, seven golden partners, and seven silver Partners, no ghost monks came looking for trouble.
Jiang Xiao found a huge rock and sat down slowly while supporting himself with one hand. He then sighed deeply.
He raised his head. In the poignant night sky, from time to time, there would be a pair of mandarin ducks flying by, emitting a faint glow.
At the same time, on earth, in the stadium’s changing room.
“Their bodies aren’t thin …” Jiang Xiao said in a low voice.
“Jiang Xiao!” The door of the changing room was pushed open and Xia Yan Ran in with a look of joy on her face. However, her expression stiffened slightly.
In front of her, Jiang Xiao was sitting on the long bench with his elbows on his knees. In front of him, Yi qingchen, who was also known as the poison milk disciple, was half-kneeling and drying Jiang Xiao’s hair.
Jiang Xiao didn’t look up and simply waved his hand.””Let me introduce myself. This is my disciple, Yi qingchen.”
Jiang Xiao then grabbed the towel on his head and said,””The one with long hair, my sister, Han Jiangxue, you can go to the pier.”
Yi qingchen stood up and strode towards Han Jiangxue, extending his right hand in a friendly manner.””h.e.l.lo,” he said.
Xia Yan pursed her lips. Of course, she also knew that Jiang Xiao had accepted a disciple by imperial edict. She sized up Yi qingchen at a close distance and looked at the body lines of the buzz cut guy while secretly comparing him.
A few seconds later, Xia Yan pursed her lips unhappily, as if there was no clear winner …
However, he saw Xia Yan leaning her body to the side and placing her elbow on Yi qingchen’s shoulder. She teased,”I’m Jiang Xiao’s master. What should you call me?”
“Uh …” Yi qingchen scratched his buzz cut, and his posture actually resembled Jiang Xiao ‘S. He looked a little embarra.s.sed.”This …”
Jiang Xiao retorted.”Ignore her. Let’s talk about our own matters. You can just call her stinky sister.”
Xia Yan was speechless.
