C121 Am I Dreaming?
"Brother, you've come to join the Sky Wrath?" "Brother, you've come for a hundred gold coins every month. Also, our captain is an extremely awesome person." "Kill the magical beast, one sword attack is enough!"
When Zhang Fan arrived at Fatty's place, he had already heard his shout. Furthermore, the shout was so loud, it was obvious that it was meant to spoil him.
"Is that so? Your captain is really awesome! How could I hear others say that he's trash?!" Zhang Fan's lips quirked upwards.
"F * ck, who said that?" Fatty's expression immediately changed. However, why did this familiar voice look directly at Zhang Fan? Looking at that familiar figure, he rubbed his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Team..." "Captain!"
Zhang Fan lifted his head and looked at Fatty. A faint smile could be seen on his face.
The fat on Fatty's body trembled, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He pounced towards Zhang Fan, but was blocked by Zhang Fan's palm, so he didn't care. He had a small magical beast in his arms, so he didn't want this little magical beast to suffocate him.
"Eh, Boss, where did you get such a cute little guy?" The fatty looked at Zhang Fan and asked with a strange expression.
"I brought them out from the Magic Beast Forest!" Zhang Fan exclaimed. At this moment, the other two men also walked up. They were the very first ones that Fatty brought in.
"Captain!" Both of them had expressions of excitement on their faces. They were the first to join the squad, and also the ones who understood Zhang Fan the most. When others said that Zhang Fan had fled, perhaps only the Heaven's Punishment Squad wouldn't think this way, because they knew Zhang Fan's character the best.
"Okay." Zhang Fan lightly nodded his head and patted their shoulders. "Not bad, you two are doing very well."
As Zhang Fan's words fell, the two of them became excited. To them, this was the most honorable praise they could give.
"How many people are there in the Scourge right now?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Hey, under our unremitting efforts, there are about 40 people now." The fatty said with a smile.
"Oh, except for the very beginning, expel everyone else from the squad," Zhang Fan said indifferently.
"Boss, you're not, are you?" Fatty asked in a daze. "We've been recruiting for a long time. We spent a lot of gold to get out."
"This is something I also want to ask." Zhang Fan's gaze landed on Fatty as he said, "Who came up with this idea?"
"It's mine!" The fatty's face was full of pride.
"What a good idea!" Zhang Fan suddenly glanced at the fatty and said, "What good stuff could those people you threw gold coins at have? What's most important is that I told you before when I left, if you can't get through, then even if we only have ten people in our team, so what? In my mind, we're all elites, and you're using money to get there, which one of us can't see the money coming? How can such a person be good? Many other people pay gold coins, but you just throw gold coins at your teammates instead."
The complacent expression on the fatty's face immediately disappeared. The two people standing behind him had a smile plastered on their faces as their faces flushed red.
"And you, Fatty, for doing this, don't you know that you're still helping out here? What are you guys thinking?" Zhang Fan asked as he looked at the two men.
When the two of them heard this, their expressions turned shameful.
"Boss, actually, we wanted you to come back and see our Heaven's Punishment Squad grow stronger. We didn't think about anything else," the fatty said with his head lowered.
Zhang Fan's expression changed, but he could understand the fatty's feelings, and he sighed: "Good idea, but you made a mistake, those who are sent in with money are all expelled, remember, those who want to join the heavenly calamity are not so easy, do not just think that they have some strength, as long as their character is not good, we will not miss it, when the heavenly calamity arrives, when there is a strong sense of honor in the sky, then we will succeed, for these two days we will solve this problem."
Seeing the other squads getting stronger, and the number of people in Heaven's Punishment was indeed so small, and now that there were finally dozens of people, he was somewhat reluctant to part with them all at once. However, he still listened to Zhang Fan's words very obediently, and nodded without saying anything more.
"Did anything happen while I was away?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Nothing much. It's just that Nie Yiming took over the party and finished the Nie clan …" At this point, Fatty's voice paused for a moment before he said, "The people from the Nie family have come to Floating Cloud Country many times to search for your family, but they've all come back empty-handed!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly. Without wasting any more words, he directly said, "I've told you earlier. You'd better settle it quickly. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll head over first."
"Boss, there's going to be a competition soon. Remember to sign up tomorrow," the fatty couldn't help but remind him.
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Fan nodded his head and walked over to where Old Man Cao lived. Perhaps he didn't want to, but with this thought, he couldn't wait any longer.
Zhang Fan walked in. When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw a woman in a long white dress standing there, holding a wooden spoon in her hand. She was watering the flowers and plants.
Although it had been a long time since he last saw that back, a strong sense of familiarity once again welled up within his heart.
Ouyang Xian`er had undergone a great change from the past. In the past, she had been a little girl, but now, she was like a fairy that transcended the mundane world. She was extremely beautiful.
His heart trembled slightly. Behind him, he saw loneliness. Why was it so lonely when his room was opened? Old man Cao walked out, but when he saw Zhang Fan, he retreated once more. However, there was an indescribable smile on his face.
Zhang Fan walked over to Ouyang Xian`er's side, trying his best to control his breathing as he called out, "Xian`er …"
As Zhang Fan's voice faded, Ouyang Xian`er's body stiffened. The wooden ladle in her hand instantly fell to the ground, producing a dull thud. At this moment, Zhang Fan could clearly see Ouyang Xian`er's slightly trembling body.
Ouyang Xian`er turned around, and a small, exquisite white face appeared in front of Zhang Fan.
The current Ouyang Xian`er was even more beautiful than before. If one were to say that she was a beauty that could topple empires, it would be exaggerated to say that she was a beauty that could cause the heavens to tremble.
"Young master …" Ouyang Xian`er's voice trembled. When she saw Zhang Fan, the rims of her eyes turned red and her eyes misted over. "Am I dreaming?"
With a simple sentence, Ouyang Xian`er's long missed life for half a year came out. Am I dreaming? It was clear that Ouyang Xian`er had already dreamed about him countless times in her dreams.
A sour feeling rose from Zhang Fan's heart, as well as a pained feeling from his chest. Right now, it could be said that Ouyang Xian`er's position in his heart had already reached an extremely high level.
Zhang Fan gently removed the little magical beast, and hugged Ouyang Xian`er, whose eyes were filled with tears. Perhaps she needed a warm embrace at this moment.
This embrace was not mixed in with anything else, but rather, was filled with the same longing that Zhang Fan had always felt.
"Wuu wuu, Young Master." Feeling the warmth in her arms, Ouyang Xian`er couldn't help but burst into tears. Not long later, Zhang Fan's shoulders started to get wet, "Young Master, you've finally returned. Xian`er, I've missed you! I thought Young Master didn't want Xian`er anymore!"
"I've missed you too, silly girl. Don't think too much about it. How could I not want you?" Zhang Fan's heart trembled. Even though half a year had passed, Ouyang Xian`er was still that girl in his eyes, as well as that extremely simple and honest girl.
When the little magical beast saw the two of them, it stretched out its pink claws to cover its eyes. However, it could feel the feelings between the two of them.
"Young Master, you've gone out and suffered a lot, haven't you?" Ouyang Xian`er's voice trembled slightly.
"Heh heh, I didn't suffer." Zhang Fan didn't know what excuse Old Man Cao had given him, but he had no choice but to tell a lie for Ouyang Xian`er's sake.
"Wuu wuu, the young master is lying." Ouyang Xian'er, who was in Zhang Fan's embrace, shook her head. "The young master is thinner than before. He definitely doesn't eat well outside."
At this moment, Ouyang Xian`er's face was filled with an expression of heartache.
A forced smile appeared on Zhang Fan's face. He patted Ouyang Xian`er's back and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine outside. You're the one who's skinnier than before. You have to eat more in the future, okay?"
"Understood, Young Master." Feeling Zhang Fan's concern, Ouyang Xian'er's small face was filled with gentleness.
Zhang Fan suddenly thought of something. After releasing Ouyang Xian`er, he flipped his left hand and a necklace with a gem hanging from it appeared in his palm. He looked at the stunned Ouyang Xian`er and said, "Little girl, this is a necklace that I bought for you. I'll bring it for you."
With these words, Zhang Fan moved closer to Ouyang Xian`er, causing her to breathe in that familiar fragrance. His heart trembled as he opened the necklace and passed it over to Ouyang Xian`er.
