"..."
Hong Xiaochen frowned deeply. He had no doubt about the truthfulness of the two children's words, so abandoning any wishful thinking and considering the worst-case scenario...
"Something's happened in the city?!"
Lan Yuying blurted out what everyone was thinking, and her face turned deathly pale instantly. Hong Li had never seen her mother with such an expression before.
"I'll go check first..."
Before Hei Yang could finish speaking, Lan Yuying rushed towards the city. However, due to her panic and nervousness, coupled with the fact that she was wearing a sky-blue dress, she stumbled and almost fell.
"Mom, slow down, don't panic..."
Hongli and Xiaohuo instantly appeared beside Lan Yuying, supporting her and quickly comforting her, "There's no smell of blood, no death aura, and no high-energy spiritual fluctuations..."
"The smell of blood? The smell of death!"
Lan Yuying's eyes widened, and she felt her head "boom" as stars flashed before her eyes.
"Ah this..."
Hongli was startled by her mother's wildly wide eyes. She slapped her mouth and quickly pressed her hands on her mother's head, gently massaging it with her spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Xiao Huo transformed into its original form and quickly flapped its wings, fanning the wind around its grandmother.
At this moment, Hong Xiaochen rushed over—it wasn't actually more than a few steps, but Hong Li and Xiao Huo were the two fastest runners.
As for Hei Yang, he has already entered the city.
As Hei Yang passed by the city gate, he saw two guards lying limply on the ground, but they were still in stable condition and not in any danger. He then slipped into the city and froze.
"Xiao Li... Xiao Huo... Xiao Chen..."
Lan Yuying opened her eyes, looking anxiously at her family members surrounding her, and said urgently, "I want to go home to see my parents, I want to go home..."
"Going home, we're going home now."
Hong Xiaochen took his wife from his daughter's arms with a touch of heartache and patted her back to comfort her.
"We're already at our doorstep, what's the panic? Don't scare yourself."
"Well……"
Hongli glanced at her parents, stood up, looked at Tianxiang City, and frowned slightly.
[Hongli: Heiyang? Heiyang, are you there, Yang?]
[Black Sun: Hmm, don't worry, I'm fine.]
[Black Sun: Hmm, the city is relatively safe, but something's strange...]
[Hongli: Huh? What kind of monster is it? A regular monster or an elite monster?]
[Black Sun: ...]
[Hei Yang: You seem a bit strange...]
[Hei Yang: You're protecting Mom and Dad. Come in and you'll see. Hmm, how should I put it, it's like...]
Hei Yang looked at the scene before him with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
There weren't many people on the street, maybe a dozen or so. Seven or eight were lying on the ground, fast asleep, five or six were sitting on the side of the street, leisurely basking in the sun, and the rest were slowly moving along the road, taking a few steps and yawning, their heads bobbing up and down as if fishing.
With a "thud," a pedestrian stumbled and fell to the ground. Unable to get up, he simply rolled over and lay down on the spot.
Hei Yang: "..."
What's wrong with these lazy dogs?!
[Black Sun: It's like I've finally found my tribe!]
[Hongli: ?]
"Mom, Heiyang said it's nothing."
Hongli directly extracted the keywords and gently tapped Xiaohuo's little head: "Let's go to Grandpa's house."
"Oh hoo!"
Little Fire understood instantly, spread its wings and grew several times larger: "Grandma and Grandpa, come up and show Little Fire the way!"
"Shh!"
.........
Hei Yang looked up at the fiery crane flying overhead and nodded slightly, knowing that Xiao Li could see it.
"Is Grandpa's house in that direction...?"
Hei Yang nodded thoughtfully, withdrew his gaze, and his eyes flashed with red light. He followed the strange aura in the city and searched all the way. The place where the auras converged should be the place where the mastermind behind all this was.
How to put it? Unexpectedly, yet logically, Hei Yang easily caught the "mastermind" on a certain tree.
only……
"Uh... a sloth?"
Hei Yang, expressionless, grabbed the sloth by both hands and lifted it up, looking at the rather cute creature in his hands, and fell into deep thought.
Name: Lazy
Realm: First level of Nascent Soul
Identity: Native creature of the Cruel World, invasive creature of the Roaming Realm.
At this moment, the other person is enjoying a baby-like sleep.
"what……"
The sloth slowly opened its mouth, wanting to yawn, but it only managed half of it before giving up.
Why do we feel the urge to yawn and become too lazy to breathe, leading to oxygen deprivation in the brain...?
Hei Yang: "..."
This one is even more of a heavyweight!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 279 You have no chance of winning against me, who has thousands of relatives!
A red shadow streaked across the blue sky as the sun moved towards its highest point. The huge shadow of the flamingo swept through the streets and alleys, slicing the scattered sunlight into tiny fragments.
"Grandma, don't worry..."
Little Fire flew quickly; if she weren't unfamiliar with the route, she could have gone even faster.
"Little Fire will take Grandma home right away!"
"Grandma, thank you, Little Fire."
Lan Yuying's emotions had stabilized by now. She stroked Xiao Huo's feathers with concern, a warm feeling welling up inside her, and a hint of heartache in her eyes.
"Grandma, don't rush. Little Fire, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Flying too fast will tire you out..."
Lan Yuying said softly, "Grandma just saw those people downstairs. They all seem to be just sleepy. They'll be fine!"
"It's okay, Little Fire isn't tired! Ouch!"
Xiao Huo let out a long whistle involuntarily and sped up again, as if to say, "See, I can go even faster!" It looked like a child showing off, which touched Lan Yuying's heart while also making her smile. Most of the pent-up frustration in her heart dissipated.
She turned her head to look ahead. Her usually lazy daughter, Xiao Li, had a serious expression on her face. Hong Li had secretly untied the hairstyle her mother had braided for her, and her long hair fluttering in the wind behind her made Lan Yuying feel that her daughter was so cool!
She turned around and looked back. Her husband, Xiao Chen, who was always unserious, gave her a steady smile. He put his hand on Lan Yuying's shoulder, looking reassured, and said confidently, "We're all here. Nothing will happen."
"Well……"
Lan Yuying was slightly taken aback. Her husband's gentle voice seemed to be holding her hand, taking her back to the time when they were deeply in love more than ten years ago.
Her husband back then was more immature than he is now, but he made her feel just as reliable. Lan Yuying blushed slightly as she thought about it and nodded gently.
"Um……"
Hong Xiaochen looked at his wife with some surprise, not understanding why she suddenly looked like this.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, he smiled back again.
An indescribable sense of happiness enveloped Lan Yuying, but she quickly came to her senses and realized that this happiness was called family.
Lan Yuying gently stroked the little fire, looked at Xiao Li and her husband, then turned her head to look into the distance, as if she saw Yi Yi's family... Now they are a family too!
Lan Yuying felt a surge of pride. This was her family. More than ten years ago, she married Xiaochen, left her parents, and came to a home that was just the two of them. Now, her family has grown bigger and bigger. This is her greatest achievement over the past ten years!
"Turn the fire down."
Hongli gently patted Xiaohuo's head.
"That's the biggest house up ahead."
"Okay! Mom!"
The small fire lowered its body and fell downwards.
She originally intended to fly directly into the courtyard, but Hongli suddenly let out a soft "hmm," attracting everyone's attention.
"Little fire, over there."
Everyone looked in the direction Hongli was pointing, and then they were stunned. There was a girl lying on the street there.
