Chapter 169: No! This Time It Updates Next Week! (1/4)

Nalan Hongwu ate his instant noodles while watching the scene in the grand hall before him, where the heads of the various peaks cast looks of disdain upon Zhang Xiaofan.

In the show, Dao Xuan finally spoke, "Junior Brother Tian, the incident at Caomiao Village was discovered by your disciple Song Daren. It seems this child shares a profound destiny with your Dazhu Peak!"

Tian Buyi: "..."

"So Zhang Xiaofan gets pushed off to Dazhu Peak just like that? His days ahead are probably going to be rough." Nalan Hongwu stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, murmuring indistinctly, "To think it tastes even better than the specially customized morning pastries this old master has every day!?"

"Oh, how did the oil get onto my beard! I really shouldn't have eaten so fast!" Nalan Hongwu complained while hurriedly pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his snow-white beard.

It was not even half-past seven yet, and those arriving at the internet cafe at this hour were almost all rushing to watch "Zhu Xian."

Su Tianji was one of them. Having heard many people yesterday discussing how excellent "Zhu Xian" was, she had given it a casual look, only to find herself completely hooked.

Thus, even before half-past seven, she had already rushed into the internet cafe like a whirlwind alongside Fenghua and Yuexin.

"They actually opened so early today?"

"Owner! Is 'Zhu Xian' updated today?!" In a flash, she had swept up to the front counter, her beautiful eyes staring intently at Fang Qi.

"It's updated!" Fang Qi glanced around the shop. That girl Jiang Xiaoyuan had probably just woken up, so he had no choice but to suppress his urge to watch the fifth and sixth episodes and sit at the counter for a while.

"Hmm?" Su Tianji's nose suddenly caught an exceptionally strange and rich fragrance. "What smells so good?"

Unlike warriors, who advocated eating heavily to strengthen their physiques, cultivators believed in eating sparingly. At most, they consumed a few spiritual pills or spiritual tea. Therefore, Su Tianji rarely ate breakfast, and normally skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner entirely.

Of course, that was before Fang Qi introduced Häagen-Dazs.

But now...

"Instant noodles!" Fang Qi said. "Want to buy a bucket?"

"Instant noodles...?" Fenghua and Yuexin were clearly already craving it. "Owner! We want to buy some!"

"Let's get three buckets." Su Tianji glanced at the seating. "Bring them over to us, computer number three."

"Please brew them yourselves!"

"..." Su Tianji's face darkened, wondering how this shop was even run. In the past, taking things themselves was one thing, but now the food they sold actually required them to cook it themselves!?

If the fragrance had not been so utterly alluring, she would have flung her sleeves and left long ago!

"Fenghua, Yuexin, you two handle it." With that, she went to log into her computer.

"Yes, Master!" Under Fang Qi's guidance, three more buckets of instant noodles were brewed. By this time, the people from Xiyi Academy, Shengjing Academy, as well as Ye Songtao and others from the Cloud Ocean Sect had also arrived.

Smelling the aroma, every single one of them immediately crowded around.

Three minutes later, each person held a bucket of instant noodles in their hands.

Fenghua and Yuexin also carried three buckets over, placing one on Su Tianji's desk: "Master, time for noodles!"

The three of them happily began to eat their instant noodles together.

Su Tianji, who was greeting the two while eating, said, "Hurry up and watch, Xiaofan finally entered the sect today! *Slurp*! Mmm—! So delicious!"

Fenghua, who opened "Zhu Xian" while eating her noodles, asked, "Really?! Someone actually took Xiaofan in? *Slurp*!"

"Yeah! That fat master looks so fierce! *Slurp*!"

"I see the fat master too! Will this fat master teach sword-riding techniques? *Slurp*! I really want to learn!"

"..."

...

"Ah...! So full!"

"But why is the main character Xiaofan? Shouldn't it be Jingyu?!"

"Why are we watching Zhang Xiaofan the whole time?! What about Lin Jingyu, the one with extraordinary talent?!"

The further the crowd watched, the stranger they found it. They had originally thought it would either be dual protagonists, or that Lin Jingyu would be the main character.

As it turned out...

It was actually this honest and dull-witted Zhang Xiaofan?!

If that was the case, how would the story develop later? Could a protagonist like this actually achieve great things in the future?!

Unknowingly, they continued to watch.

"Owner! Three bottles of Coke!" As if they had not eaten to their heart's content just now, Su Tianji hurriedly ordered three more bottles of Coke.

However, Fang Qi had long since gone to watch the show, so the person sitting at the counter was naturally Jiang Xiaoyuan.

After the three bottles of Coke were brought over...

The three of them drank Coke while watching the show: "Master, Master, these senior brothers are actually quite nice, but this fat master looks so fierce, *gulp*!"

"Our Master is still the best, *gulp*!"

"Oh dear, the old monk told Xiaofan to throw this Sinister Blood Bead away, but he ended up wearing it as a keepsake. Nothing bad will happen, right? *Gulp*!"

Su Tianji, who was drinking Coke and watching the show: "...They are about to pass down the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, *gulp*! *Burp*—!"

"..."

The air suddenly fell silent.

Because they were eating snacks, almost everyone had turned on the environmental simulation.

Fang Qi, sitting next to her, looked over.

Nalan Hongwu, sitting on the other side, looked over.

An Huwei and the others who had just entered the door also looked over...

Su Tianji covered her mouth: "..."

In that instant, she had the urge to silence everyone around her permanently! If only she could!

After staring blankly for a long while, everyone finally withdrew their gazes, saying nothing, and continued to watch the show.

After more than an hour of silence...

On the screen, the bamboo grove caught a gentle breeze, serene and peaceful.

"This part is too quiet, I really want to eat something else... It seems I haven't eaten Häagen-Dazs today yet...!?"

"That rich milk fragrance..."

"Owner! Three more cups of Häagen-Dazs!"

The three of them ate Häagen-Dazs while watching the show: "Master, this monkey Xiao Hui is so mischievous and fun, *nom*!"

"This little senior sister isn't reliable either, *nom*!"

"Oh no! Something's going wrong with the Blood Bead, *nom*!"

"This short rod looks so sinister too, it seems like trouble is brewing... *nom*??"

If one knew the plot, they would know that at this moment, they were watching the Sinister Blood Bead given to Zhang Xiaofan by Puzhi about to undergo a blood-refining process with the Soul-Absorbing short rod to become the Soul-Slayer. This scene was precisely a crucial turning point in Zhang Xiaofan's destiny!

And right at this moment, just as the small wooden spoon carried the Häagen-Dazs into her mouth, Su Tianji's long eyelashes trembled slightly: "Why did it go black!!??"

The three people who were eating and watching with great enthusiasm were instantly dumbfounded.

"To know what happens next, tune in for the next episode?!"

"Episode six, finished?!"

"!!??"

How could it end at a moment like this, of all times!!??

"What on earth happened to Xiaofan? At least let me finish it!!!"

At that moment, Nalan Hongwu, Su Tianji, and the others were all seated beside Fang Qi, and every single one of them had witnessed the conclusion.

Meanwhile, Dong Qingli and the Grand Princess, who had arrived the earliest and already finished watching, stepped forward with murderous intent written across their faces.

"Owner! Where are episodes seven and eight?!" Su Tianji demanded, her expression grim.

"Weren't there four episodes before?! Why are there only two today?!" Nalan Hongwu glared at Fang Qi, his eyes bulging.

"Only the first day's release consists of four episodes. From now on, it's two episodes daily," Fang Qi replied with utmost gravity.

"What?!" As an avid novel enthusiast, Dong Qingli could no longer contain herself, exclaiming, "Do you mean to say we have to wait until tomorrow for episodes seven and eight?!"

Fang Qi merely shook his head.

Seeing this gesture, everyone imagined a turn for the better and stared at him with bated breath, only to hear him speak the next words: "Episodes seven and eight will be released next Monday."
