Chapter 552 (A New Year Begins)
"This fried chicken is so damn delicious. With Coke, it's just refreshing. Right, honey?" Wang Dabao said, carefree. The team's harmony was good, and everyone was laughing and joking.
Bai Cixin looked helpless as her husband sometimes acted like a child. "Be serious."
"Wang Dabao is so straightforward and generous," Qing Tiandi patted Wang Dabao's shoulder.
"It feels good to have someone backing you up. Look, honey, even Brother Qing understands me," Wang Dabao laughed.
"If you're going to hang out with Brother Qing, don't come to find me," Bai Cixin pouted. She called him Brother Qing, but those who didn't understand would think she was calling him Brother Lover.
"Little sister is angry. Go and appease her," Qing Tiandi laughed and picked up a napkin to wipe his hands.
When they finished the family bucket on the table, everyone's faces began to turn serious.
"We've become famous lately and have taken on a lot of blame," Feng Di said with a serious face.
"Even the death of a family head can make us take the blame. It's interesting," Feng Tian sneered.
"This is a comprehensive reshuffle. Now, the only remaining aristocratic family in the north and south is the Dongfang family in the north, and it's being led by a woman with no combat power," Bai Cixin pouted, feeling it was unfair. They were both women, why could Dongfang Yuer become the head of the family?
Wang Dabao sighed, feeling helpless. "Now, it's the law of the jungle in the absence of any great powers. What else can we do?"
"What we need is a fight!" Qing Tiandi laughed lightly, holding a folded tissue in front of him.
Everyone looked confused.
"Whether it's the law of the jungle or the deities, it boils down to strength. The new year is about to begin, and we will become saviors. Giants? In the end, they're just people. Can't we crown ourselves? If someone in the Voidless realm kills people, is there any reason why they wouldn't kill someone who is trying to save the cultivation world?"
As they listened to Qing Tiandi's words, Bai Cixin understood. They had the fame, and they could also snatch things, so why not do it?
"I'm only interested in treasures, nothing else," Feng Tian said softly.
But what Bai Cixin needed was fame, so there was no conflict. And nobody knew what Qing Tiandi wanted.
Qing Tiandi stood up and clapped his hands. "Let's go out and greet the new year of darkness together!"
Wanda Plaza in Long'an City.
Ye Hua held Ah Li in his arms, with his two beautiful wives snuggling up to him, watching the countdown on the big screen.
Donghuang Li's big eyes were excitedly watching and couldn't help but countdown with everyone: "10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!"
Boom, boom, boom...
The towering buildings erupted with gorgeous fireworks that left people entranced. The cheers erupted, and people in the square celebrated the arrival of the new year.
"Daddy, Mommy, Happy New Year!" This was Donghuang Li's first New Year's Eve with her parents, and she was particularly excited.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were also happy. They were spending the day in a comfortable way, away from the conflicts. But sometimes those conflicts came looking for them, leaving them helpless.
"Daddy, won't you kiss Ah Li?" Donghuang Li pitifully said.
She was such a cute little guy, and Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi each kissed her chubby little cheeks.
This made little Ah Li very happy. "What about Daddy?"
Helplessly, Ye Hua kissed his daughter's forehead, and Donghuang Li happily kissed her father's cheek, making it a warm moment.
The family of four ate all kinds of snacks and then walked home. After Donghuang Li's excitement subsided, he fell asleep in his father's arms.
Occasionally, groups of teenagers walked past on the empty street, carrying an atmosphere of joy.
"Do we have any goals this year?" Ye Hua asked his daughter curiously.
Donghuang Baizhi was no longer the Crimson Emperor, but a young woman. "Eat well, drink well, and live a happy life with our family of four. No, wait... now we're a family of six." She then rubbed her stomach.
Qing Ya said in a tender voice, "Ye Hua, you have a heavy burden now. You have to earn more money to support your wife and children. I heard that carrying bricks at a construction site pays well, several hundred yuan a day, enough to cover our expenses."
"Daddy, do you want to go carry bricks? Ah Li will go help you." Donghuang Li mumbled, then fell asleep again.
Ye Hua helplessly shook his head. "I'll stay home and take care of the kids. You two can go to work."
"Ye Hua, you're so different from other husbands. They all support their wives," the two wives immediately complained, acting spoiled.
Donghuang Li was actually pretending to be asleep. Otherwise, Daddy and Mommy wouldn't say such mushy things. Ah Li felt chills all over her body, especially when she heard her mommy acting spoiled. It completely overturned the stern image of her in her heart.
'It seems that only Daddy can make Mommy obedient.'
"Hehe, excellent men don't need to do anything," Ye Hua said proudly.
Qing Ya had long accepted Ye Hua's twisted logic.
Donghuang Baizhi had not yet adapted: "Can you bear to let your pregnant wife go out to work?"
"I'm very reassured. Who dares to provoke you guys?"
"You."
"You."
"Hehe."
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi still didn't know Ye Hua's personality. If he could stay at home, he definitely wouldn't go out, whether it was in the Void Realm or here.
But that's also good, so as not to worry about Ye Hua getting involved with others outside, and causing trouble for himself.
"It's almost Chinese New Year in February," Ye Hua said lightly.
When he first came here, he had no idea what the use of celebrating Chinese New Year was, but since everyone celebrates it, he couldn't just ignore it.
So in the past few years, he spent it with Wei Chang and his dog, Lie Gu, it was desolate and completely lacked the festive atmosphere.
After a simple meal, they just went back to their rooms to sleep. There was no significance in celebrating the new year, and they didn't even watch the Spring Festival Gala. Ye Hua felt depressed when he saw other families being together, and he was alone. [Spring Festival Gala, also known as New Year Gala program is a variety show, often featuring music, dance, comedy, and drama performances. It has become a ritual for many Chinese families, including overseas Chinese, to watch the show on Chinese New Year's Eve.]
"Yes, I'm about to reach my due date." Qing Ya touched her round belly, her face showing the radiance of a mother.
Donghuang Baizhi smiled, "Congratulations on becoming a mother."
"Same to you." Qing Ya also joked.
"You were talking about Chinese New Year, how did we get to talking about the child again?" Ye Hua said impatiently, feeling like his words were falling on deaf ears.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi shrugged. That's just how Ye Hua is.
"Okay, okay, how do you want to celebrate?" Qing Ya asked curiously, leaning lightly on her husband's shoulder, and Donghuang Baizhi was the same.
Ye Hua said lightly, "In the past, I always celebrated it desolately, so this year, I plan to have a big reunion, inviting everyone to celebrate and have a lively new year, how about that?"
"That's a great idea." Donghuang Baizhi also wanted to, in the days without Ye Hua, she only had her daughter to rely on, spending the new year together, just the two of them, was lonely.
