TWQQF ch 60.2 - Big Deal (4)


While they were observing over there, the several dozens of students from School of Divine Condor standing next to the vegetable field were causing ruckus again. They have discovered the Cheng’s ranch and saw the hundreds of mythical animals including chicken, ducks, geese, rabbits, cows, sika deers, cats, peacocks2, squirrels, etc. All sorts of cute and pretty animals that made everyone happy.

Especially Ning Xunzong. He dived in happily and grabbed a squirrel. Laughing happily he said, “Oh, this little guy is so cute! He’s mine now!”

“I like rabbits! I want one too!” Another girl jumped in a grabbed a cute, white rabbit.

That’s a monster that reached 10 or more meters in length!
It has a round head and a pointy mouth. It’s body was aerodynamic and has yellow and white stripes. It also has spikes on both side of it’s body.
Like a big rig that had lost control, it dashed out of the water at high speed and collided head on onto the highest jumping fish. The giant creature’s tail hit the metal chain bridge and made a loud noise. The bridge shook wildly from side of side.

Qin Luo was running like a mad man in an open field under the burning sun. Suddenly things turned dark, turned out it was a beautiful silver pheonix flying above his head, it’s enormous body blocked almost the entire sky.

Qin Luo was running out of breath and the silver pheonix began its dive; the turbulence generated by it’s almost 1,000 kilometers wing span made Qin Luo rocked back and forth and difficult to move forward.

The phoenix was above Qin Luo’s body and it’s massive tail struck down directly on him. When it’s tail was lifted again, one could see a man-shaped hole on the ground and poor Qin Luo had been pressed entirely into the ground!

Knowledge Nugget of the Day: Dwarfs v Dwarves

The things that one can find on the internets have never ceased to amaze me. Check out this very extensive article on using dwarfs versus dwarves, on a U Penn website no less...

Specifically this: Google has 615,000 "dwarfs" to 424,000 "dwarves". 

I most certainly have a lot of respect for the writer of this article.... You go, Mark!

TWQQF ch 60.1 - Big Deal (4)


Those in the courtyard enjoyed the tea leisurely. Just as Cheng Xiao Xiao had said, this tea was made with the mythical spring water and was therefore mythical. They were definitely better than any expensive tea one could get on the market. The tea quelled everyone’s irritation and vexation.

The visitors were no longer anxious; Cheng Xiao Xiao definitely was not anxious; Mrs. Cheng inside the house was tormented by anxiousness. She had no idea what her oldest daughter had in mind.

Time of an incense had passed before Long Yuze put down the cup in his hand. A hint of approval could be seen in Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes.
