Chapter 300: 300 One Bottle of Enemy-Enemy-Fear, All Gone in One Second

~7 min read 1,315 words

The day before New Year's Eve, Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu were stationed directly on the Cross-river Great Bridge.

Both sides had already been sealed off, no vehicles were allowed to pass, and the announcement said it was for bridge surface maintenance.

Moreover, within a ten‑li radius no personnel were allowed to approach; the army, with live ammunition, formed an isolation belt and stood on strict guard.

Although the opening of that 'gate' faced Nan Cheng this side, just in case both sides were still guarded, even the area under the bridge was surrounded—truly achieving impenetrability.

Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu walked out of the command tent, looked at this tranquil night, and the sky began to drift down light snow.

"It's snowing!" Tushan Jiu reached out to catch it; Nan Cheng rarely sees snow, and even when it does, it doesn't linger like in the north.

"I like snow; after the New Year, let's go north to play in the snow." Xie Shiyu held her hand, wiped the water from melted snow on her hand, then slipped it into his own pocket.

Suddenly, a familiar "eh~" came from behind them.

Wang Dongqing and Maomao walked out holding two cups of hot milk tea.

The sweetened one was Tushan Jiu's, the unsweetened one was Xie Shiyu's.

The two received the milk tea and thanked them.

Wang Dongqing looked up at the gloomy sky, "As it turns out, Heaven's Way does sometimes give humans a warning—Nan Cheng hasn't seen snow during the New Year for many years, but this fits the occasion."

Tushan Jiu chuckled lightly, "Brother Wang, you have a lot of feelings today."

Wang Dongqing glanced at Maomao, who was quietly drinking her milk tea, and said, "Well, yeah, after this big battle ends, I'm going to do a major life thing!"

Tushan Jiu paused, turned her head toward him and Maomao, and asked, "Have you opened your aperture?"

Hearing her question, Wang Dongqing scratched the back of his head and frankly admitted, "It's opened; I've been torn up, afraid of east and west, which made me hesitate for so long—but this battle has given me a clue. As long as we're still alive, I ought to confess my feelings, after all even strong formaldehyde would dissipate after over a year."

Tushan Jiu smiled, lifted her head to gaze at the sky, looking through those clouds at the faint crescent, "When the moon is full, all things prosper—don't worry, we'll be fine."

Wang Dongqing paused, his mouth corners involuntarily turning up, but he also tacitly didn't continue speaking.

Just as she once got Mumu used to wearing clothes, they've now become clever.

"When the moon is full, all things prosper"—Tushan Jiu is just giving him a hint by finding an opening.

Maomao beside them turned her head to glance at the two, thinking Wang Dongqing was about to confess.

Confess to whom?

And what does his confession have to do with formaldehyde?

Wang Dongqing felt Maomao looking at him, turned his head and bared his teeth at her, "What are you staring at? Can you react to this?"

Maomao: "...... Wang Xiaoqian'er, I think you really deserve a beating!"

"Hey, Maomao, you've learned bad habits from Mumu—she's the one who's lacking, her whole family is lacking!"

As the words fell, a black shadow shot out from inside, "Wang Xiaoqian'er, you say who's lacking? Come at me with your life!"

Maomao: "Mumu, go for it!"

Mumu: "All right, Sis Maomao!"

Wang Dongqing, dodging left and right while being chased, shouted, "Xiang Bing Shan—oh, no, Xiang Yichu—quickly bring your little ancestor back here!"

Hearing the sound, Xiang Yichu walked out from inside the tent, his face showing no extra expression, and said lightly, "I can't control her; besides, it's indeed you, Brother Wang, who first started mouthing off—you're protecting Maomao, I'm protecting Mumu, so stand there and don't move; after she lets out a couple of blows to vent, she'll naturally be fine."

Wang Dongqing: "......"

Tushan Jiu held back laughter while sipping her milk tea, watching them make a fuss; Xie Shiyu pulled her into his embrace to block the cold wind.

The other Old Heavenly Masters also came out hearing the noise, seeing the juniors' ruckus they laughed openly.

They thought the youngsters' state of mind was indeed different.

Two Heavenly Masters laughed, saying, "Old lah, old lah!"

Wang Dongqing's master and Maomao's master exchanged a glance.

Maomao's master glared at Wang Dongqing's master.

Wang Dongqing's master stroked his little mustache, the smile at the corners of his mouth widening greatly.

They had clearly heard the children's conversation just now.

A happy occasion, naturally they were pleased.

At the same time.

Within the monster clan, a little white fox carrying a huge bundle several times its size sprinted all the way to the barrier.

During the run, a corner of the bundle opened.

Inside fell out a green bottle, with three large characters written on it—Enemy-Enemy-Fear.

The little fox heard the bottle drop, hit the brakes urgently, and almost ended up doing a fox stealing feces.

He hurriedly turned back, picked up that bottle of Enemy-Enemy-Fear, and stuffed it back with his paw.

Bai Yu muttered gloomily, "Who knew this Enemy-Enemy-Fear was still limited‑sale and requires real‑name registration! I finally managed to get this much, can't afford to lose it—those big monsters are huge; though we can't dump it all, dumping one counts as one, leaving one counts as one. For the order and peace of China, I'll give it my all! Bai Xiaoyu, go for it, go duck!"

He turned and charged full force toward the barrier.

Just as he was about to reach the barrier, he leapt up.

The result was a 'Duang' sound as he hit the barrier.

He paused there for two seconds, then kicked his legs slightly and slowly slid down.

The bundle opened, and the Enemy-Enemy-Fear bottles rolled out one by one.

Bai Yu was dazed from the impact, sitting blankly on the ground, his vision filled with gold stars.

It took five minutes before he barely recovered.

He suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Damn, they're preparing to assault the city!"

Bai Yu had no time to mind the big lump on his head or the scattered Enemy-Enemy-Fear on the ground; he got up and ran home, needing to fetch his phone to tell Tushan Jiu and the others.

Unbeknownst to him, after he ran off, a three‑legged bird poked its head out, "Eh? I just heard someone hit the barrier—I was thinking of grabbing it to eat and boost my cultivation—but where's the person?"

Just as it was about to retract its head, its gaze was suddenly drawn to the green bottle on the ground.

"Huh? What is this?"

The three-legged bird used its claws to drag a bottle into the barrier and examined it closely.

"This seems like a drink from the human world?"

As soon as this idea came up, its eyes lit up, and it happily pecked open the bottle cap with its beak.

Unable to transform yet, it could only drink this way.

It seized the bottle with its long beak, tilted its head back, and gulped it down.

Glug-glug-glug

One bottle of pesticide was drained in one second. (1)

After drinking, the three-legged bird smacked its lips and savored the taste.

"How weird this human drink tastes! But it's not hard to drink; I'll take it back for my older brothers and sisters to try, to broaden their horizons. Once we conquer the human world, we can drink this freely!"

After muttering that, the three-legged bird poked its head out of the barrier again.

After looking around and seeing no one, it moved its claws so fast they left afterimages, dragging every bottle of pesticide from the ground back to the demon realm.
