Chapter 889 Team Building Hot Pot
heaven.
Shangqing Realm.
Xuandu Yujing Prefecture, Qibao Ziwei Palace.
The nine members of the Nightfall Squad are enthusiastically cooking hot pot.
"Old An, I want to eat fish."
Jialan handed two plump, chubby, and spirit-filled koi fish to Anqingyu.
An Qingyu smiled without saying a word, simply took the scalpel and began to precisely slice the fish into fillets with the scalpel in her hand.
Jiang Er, who was helping out, looked at the two koi fish surrounded by ethereal energy and then looked at Jia Lan with a puzzled expression.
"Sister Lan, where did this fish come from?"
"Just fished out of the Jade Pool."
Jiang Er's lips twitched slightly. "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Queen Mother of the West if she finds out?"
Jialan revealed a sinister smile, "Your Majesty is having a meeting in Heaven today. With Sister Jiangzhu and the others covering for you, and with Yaochi being so big, Your Majesty won't know if a couple of fish are missing."
An Qingyu smiled and shook her head, silently complaining to herself, "No matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family."
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Jialan grabbed Jiang Er's hand and secretly walked to a corner.
"Give."
Jialan took out a fist-sized peach from the Jade Pool from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Er.
"Pan... Waaaaah~"
Jialan quickly covered Jiang Er's mouth before she could exclaim in surprise and whispered, "Don't shout. I only stole two. There aren't enough for everyone. Let's each have one, sisters. Keep it quiet."
Jiang Er blinked her crescent-shaped eyes repeatedly, indicating that she understood. The two beauties secretly slipped away to a secluded spot and ate the peaches with gusto.
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
"Tianchen, is the fire ready?" Baili Pangpang asked as he walked over.
"Alright, alright, we can add the hot pot broth now," Gu Tianchen said, clapping his hands.
Baili Pangpang glanced at the small, antique-looking alchemy furnace and frowned.
"Hiss, I haven't refined pills for a hundred years. I don't remember having this in the courtyard. Where did you find it?"
Gu Tianchen said, "This isn't from your yard. I searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable pot, so I borrowed one from your neighbor. Smell it; it even smells like medicinal pills..."
Baili Pangpang's lips twitched slightly. "You stole the alchemy furnace of morality?"
Gu Tianchen said in a serious tone, "Hey, how can you steal from a night watchman's job? We agreed it was a loan, and I even left an IOU. You can ask Lao Cao if you don't believe me."
Cao Yuan, who had a butcher-like appearance and was constantly slicing meat with a black knife, nodded and said, "That's right, he did leave an IOU, but..."
Cao Yuan hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Baili Pangpang quickly asked, "But what?"
"However, his signature was that of the notorious thief Shen Qingzhu..."
"Your uncle's!!!"
"Can't you fucking find someone else to cause trouble?!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu, who was slicing potatoes, immediately grabbed a cleaver and started fighting with Gu Tianchen.
Gongyang Zhuo quickly put down his fan and began to mediate the fight.
"Stop fighting!"
The newly joined Gongyang Zhuo looked worried, but the veteran members were already used to it.
Instead of trying to stop the fight, Lin Qiye, the team leader, created a magical barrier, giving the two a dimensional arena.
Gongyang Zhuo looked at Lin Qiye with a worried expression and asked, "Captain, are you really alright?"
Lin Qiye said with a smile, "Hehe, the fiercer these two fight, the deeper their feelings become. You'll find out later."
A short while later, Shen Qingzhu, her face bruised and swollen, flew out of the magic space.
Gu Tianchen, completely unharmed, also came out and said to Shen Qingzhu in a cheeky tone, "Hey bro, keep going! Punch my chest with your little angel fists!"
Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold, and she flipped her hand to grasp an extremely black longsword.
The moment Gu Tianchen saw the Demon Sword, he immediately shut up.
Although he has now cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the seventh level, and has been tempered by nine tribulations of lightning using the Thunder Tempering Technique, his physical defense is no different from that of the Supreme God.
It can face the Demon Sword, the most powerful of the seven supreme artifacts of Heaven, which flows with the laws of destruction.
His physical defenses were clearly no match for this number one weapon of heaven.
Unable to afford to offend Gu Tianchen, he quickly made his escape, putting his arm around Gongyang Zhuo's neck and starting a conversation.
"Brother Gongyang, what have you thought about what I mentioned last time?"
Gongyang Zhuo, waving his fan, asked with a smile, "Who have you taken a fancy to?"
"Your sister."
pat!
Gongyang Zhuo dropped the folding fan in his hand and looked at Gu Tianchen in disbelief.
"You bastard, Gu Tianchen! I treated you like a brother, and you actually want to be my brother-in-law?!"
Gu Tianchen slapped Gongyang Zhuo on the head and said irritably, "What are you thinking, kid?"
"What I mean is, back then, it took us a lot of effort to coax and trick them..."
"Huh?" Gongyang Zhuo's eyes widened like copper bells.
Gu Tianchen coughed lightly, turned to look at An Qingyu who was cutting fish, and said, "Old Fish, cut this kid's brain later to erase this memory."
An Qingyu smiled without saying a word, but simply gave Gu Tianchen an OK sign.
Gongyang Zhuo stared in disbelief. "You two are openly discussing cutting out my brain right in front of me?"
Aren't you trying to avoid people at all?
How did the Nightfall Squad manage to cultivate such a bandit-like, shameless, and degenerate atmosphere?
Gu Tianchen smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue."
"Back then, we traveled through time and did everything in our power to bring you to our side."
"Your sister tried to poach people but failed. Now we'll do the opposite: use your brother to control your sister and get Gongyang Wan to join the Nightfall Squad."
"Next up is Sister Qing, Little Baize, Brother Qiang, Uncle Nie, Lord Hou..."
"With their addition, our Nightfall Squad will not only be more powerful, but will also receive support from the Great Xia Dynasty's national fortune at any time."
"Just thinking about it makes me happy..."
While adding hot pot broth to the pot, Lin Qiye said with a smile, "Don't even think about it. The special team has at least six people and at most nine. We're already at full capacity."
Gu Tianchen was taken aback. "Huh? The Night Watch has such a rule? How come I didn't know?"
An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and said, "When we escaped from the fasting place, Commander Ye mentioned this rule, and I remember it."
Gu Tianchen said with a frustrated look, "Damn it, there's a limit to the number of people. I was just planning to pack up all my godfathers and squeeze them into our Nightfall Squad through the back door."
"There's no limit to the number of special teams, right? I'll apply for a spot for the tenth special team on their behalf."
"I've already thought of a name, it'll be called... Pangu Squad, what do you guys think?"
"puff!!!"
Baili Pangpang, who was just taking a spoonful of hot pot soup, couldn't help but spit it all out.
"Good grief, everyone else's team name is something like Phoenix Mask, but you've brought up that guy's name. What are the others supposed to do then?"
Baili Pangpang waved the spoon in his hand and said irritably.
"Alright, let's not talk about work today. The hot pot is ready, everyone, let's get started!"
Upon hearing the captain's command, the three brutes quickly took their positions, occupying advantageous terrain, their chopsticks clattering loudly.
Gongyang Zhuo looked at the three people who seemed about to fight with a puzzled expression, his lips twitching slightly, "This is..."
Shen Qingzhu, who was standing next to him, said, "Newcomer, a friendly reminder: you have to be quick, or you'll be starving."
