Chapter 284 New Year's Eve Fireworks! Let's bring God back to be our henchman and make him grant me one wish every day.

Night was just beginning to fall.

The summit of Turtle Mountain was enveloped in dazzling fireworks, and the dark night sky instantly became radiant and shimmering.

The fireworks would occasionally change into various shapes, causing several little ones on the hilltop to jump up and down, shouting excitedly.

"Look, sister, that's my shape, isn't it cute?"

Under the pitch-black night sky, a dazzling red firework exploded, transforming into the image of a chubby, pink baby, hands on hips, head held high, looking quite arrogant.

Above her head, a colorful firework exploded, outlining the shape of a plump koi fish.

This made Little Fatty extremely happy.

"Squeak, squeak, Master, where is my shape?"

Black Rabbit tugged at Qin Beast's arm and looked up to ask.

Qin Shou looked at the short, chubby man who was as black as coal and replied, "You released it just now, but you're too dark to see it."

"Squeak?"

Black Rabbit scratched his head; the CPU was burning wildly.

Meanwhile, the fireworks extravaganza in the sky continued, transforming into various figures and patterns on Turtle Mountain: Qin Beast, Changsheng, Wenqing, Yicheng, Xiao Xuan, Damei, Black Rabbit... and even Turtle Immortal.

This moved Master Roshi, who was lying by the well in the back mountain, longing for his little mother turtle.

He had drunk some wine today, and was tipsy, half-asleep, as if he was recalling the past... In his dream, he was in an ordinary village, where he met a boy. On New Year's Eve, the boy held a cluster of fireworks and asked him, an old man, to set them off.

"The land is beautiful, and the world is prosperous."

"A new year, a new look."

May the world be free from disasters and hardships, and may you all enjoy peace and happiness, and find fulfillment in your hearts.

Qin Shou gazed at the colorful, shimmering night sky and smiled gently.

A smile from an immortal surpasses all the splendor of the mortal world.

"Alright, Yi Cheng, Little Fatty, make a wish now."

The Qin beast let out a cry.

The children who were playing around immediately stopped what they were doing, put their hands together, and began to make a serious wish.

"Master, what is your wish?"

After making her wish, Yi Cheng looked up and asked.

"Master's wish is for world peace."

Qin Shou said calmly, his hands behind his back.

That somewhat sophisticated silhouette stretched infinitely long and high against the backdrop of fireworks and night.

"Master, what is the goose's wish?"

"What is it?"

"Master, what's your guess?"

"I guess it's because they have more meat than they can eat every day."

"Hehehe, no, Master, you must have guessed wrong."

Yi Cheng tilted her little head back, a smug smile spreading across her face.

"Goose's wish is that Siwu and Senior Sister can come back every year and bring Goose lots and lots of delicious food. That way, Goose can see Senior Sister and also have endless meat to eat."

Master, isn't the goose clever? The goose did something that killed two birds with one stone.

"It's killing two birds with one stone," Qin Shou corrected.

"Hmph, they're all the same."

...

The fireworks extravaganza lasted for half an hour, eventually ending with the sky filled with fireworks forming a pattern of a giant golden dragon.

Happy Year of the Dragon!

Next came the night watch.

Qin Shou moved the chessboard into the ancestral hall, warmed a pot of Tusu wine, and continued playing the chess game that he hadn't finished during the day with his apprentice.

They drank and chatted.

Qin Shou spoke of the peaceful days on the mountaintop, while Xiao Xuan lamented the turbulent times below.

And so, amidst wine and stories, the master and apprentice made their moves once again.

“Master, I have come here to leave Yu’er on the mountain so that you can teach him his future cultivation and build a solid foundation for him.”

Xiao Xuan placed a piece on the board and slowly said, "Now the land is in chaos, and every state is plagued by turmoil. I was born in a chaotic world, so I must forge ahead and see the scenery above."

I know that ambition brings trouble. I am not afraid of any cause and effect in the world, but I am worried about this child.

That's why I feel at ease leaving him by my master's side.

When he comes of age, I will send someone to bring him back.

Master, what do you think?

Xiao Xuan looked at the Qin beast.

Snap!

Qin Shou slowly placed a piece on the board and said, "Approved."

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly.

"Rock-a-bye, sway-a-bye, baby, have a sweet sleep."

Under the eaves outside, Yaoyue held Xiao Yu in her arms, gently humming a nursery rhyme to lull the little one to sleep, her face full of loving smiles.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Yi Cheng and his friends sat under an old mulberry tree, each with a large ham in hand, munching away with relish.

The little ones whispered among themselves.

"Little Fatty, what did you wish for just now?" Yi Cheng asked, wiping the grease from the corner of her mouth.

"Yi Cheng, if you say your wish out loud, it won't come true." Little Fatty shook his head.

"ah! "

Yi Cheng immediately stopped eating her ham. "But the goose just told Master..."

Da da da!

Yi Cheng stuck out her little bottom and got up, running to Qin Shou with a panicked expression.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Little Fatty said that wishes won't come true if you say them out loud, but the goose just said them to you."

Qin Shou looked up. "Little Fatty was just kidding."

"Really?"

Yi Cheng asked, staring with her round little eyes.

"real. "

Qin Beast answered.

"Master, will Siwu and Senior Sister bring back lots of delicious meat for the goose next year?"

"You have flesh on your body, don't you?"

"That's right."

Yi Cheng's small eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Master, is goose meat edible?"

“............”

Qin Shou's hand, which was picking up a chess piece, paused slightly in mid-air.

"Master, do you think the goose meat smells good?"

"???"

"Goose, goose, goose, Master, the goose is just teasing you. Only a fool would eat his own flesh. The goose isn't stupid... Master, you're so silly."

Yi Cheng pointed at Qin Shou and burst into laughter.

"???"

"Yi Cheng, it's the New Year, don't make me spank you!"

Qin Shou threatened in the gentlest of tones.

"Hmph, the goose isn't afraid. Actually, Master, it doesn't hurt when you hit it. The goose just cries loudly on purpose so you'll hit it less."

"And also, the goose just made over a dozen wishes, it's okay if none of them come true, goose, goose, goose..."

Yi Cheng proudly showed off her little bit of intelligence.

This left Qin Shou feeling both helpless and amused.

"Ahem, Yi Cheng, you've made too many wishes by yourself; Heaven won't grant them."

"Master, who is Heaven?"

"They are the people who help you fulfill your wishes."

"Oh, Master, where does he live? Can I go and catch him and take him as my little brother? I want him to grant me one wish every day, hehe <(?????)>"
