696: Chapter 685 New Year’s Wishes 696: Chapter 685 New Year’s Wishes “Could there really be some treasure?” Song Yun’s eyes shone brightly.
Although he didn’t believe much in the legends and was a materialistic person who didn’t trust tales of ghosts and demons, he knew that there was no smoke without fire.
Since Zhou Guang and the RPG folks had all come looking for something, there definitely had to be something valuable here!
Song Yun gazed at the tattered treasure map he held, his resentment toward the War God Family grew boundlessly.
However, he forgot that the map originally belonged to the War God Family—if one were to be precise, it was Song Yun who had taken something from someone else’s family.
After glancing in that direction once more, Song Yun decided not to dwell on it any further.
As for any treasures that might be in the main peak, Song Yun could only leave it up to fate.
Maybe he might stumble upon a Divine Weapon or the Elixir of Immortality on his way down the mountain?
Right!
There are plenty of such plots in novels.
He returned to the camping pass.
It was nearly midnight.
The fire had been stoked with a lot of wood and the flames leaped up over two meters high.
All the girls sat around the fire, patiently waiting for Song Yun.
Seeing Song Yun approach, Li Shishi stepped forward to ask if anything had happened.
Song Yun decisively shook his head indicating nothing had, and then everyone started setting up the fireworks.
After setting up the fireworks, Song Yun took out his phone and said, “There are thirty seconds left till the New Year, everyone get ready.
When the New Year arrives, quickly give your blessings to the person next to you!”
Song Yuxue clenched her fists nervously, looking at Song Yun and asked, “Bro, shall we start the countdown now?”
Song Yun checked his phone again and then declared, “Ten seconds left, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!” When he counted down to three, he lit the fireworks beneath him and by the time he reached one, the first fireworks had soared into the sky.
As the sound of zero fell, with a loud bang, a beautiful firework blossomed in the air.
“Happy New Year,” Song Yun turned and said directly to Li Shishi standing next to him.
“You too, Happy New Year!” Li Shishi said with a smile, not lingering on Song Yun but turning to hug Song Yuxue, Liu Ran, and Xiao Qing nearby, and all five of them exclaimed, “Happy New Year.”
Song Yun eagerly looked at Qingluan, extending his arms.
Qingluan walked up to Song Yun with a smile and hugged him, then softly said, “Happy New Year.”
“You too,” Song Yun hugged Qingluan tightly and said, “Thanks for taking care of me all this year.
Without you, I just…”
Qingluan put her hand over Song Yun’s mouth and said, “I did it willingly, no need to say more.”
“Mm!” Song Yun nodded, holding Qingluan, and after a long pause, he said, “Qingluan, I had no idea until I hugged you.
You really have a great figure.”
Qingluan immediately let go of her hands, looking somewhat reproachfully at Song Yun as if she were blaming him for saying something so lewd at such a beautiful moment.
“Come on, everyone, let’s share our New Year’s wishes!” Song Yun called out with a laugh.
“I hope I can make a lot of money this year!” Li Shishi said with hands pressed together.
“I hope I can grow a little bigger this year!” Li Yueyue said earnestly.
Song Yun teased, “If you grow any more, they’re definitely going to sag.”
“It’s none of your business if they sag!” Li Yueyue shot back at Song Yun.
“I hope our whole family can reunite this year!” Song Yuxue said cheerfully.
“I hope I encounter more interesting things this year!” Liu Ran stated.
“I hope all my wishes come true,” Xiao Qing said with hands together.
“I hope everyone’s wishes come true!” Qingluan looked around at the people and declared.
“I hope…” Song Yun paused after three words, then sneakily glanced around at the girls and stopped mid-sentence.
“What do you hope for?” Li Shishi asked curiously.
Song Yun resolutely shook his head and replied, “If I say it, it won’t come true!”
“So you’re saying none of our wishes will come true now?” Li Yueyue said discontentedly.
“That’s not it.
If girls say their wishes out loud, they will come true, but if guys do, they won’t,” Song Yun explained.
“Bro, your New Year’s wish isn’t hoping to hook up with a few more sisters-in-law this year, is it?” Song Yuxue looked on eagerly, as if enjoying the drama.
“How could it be!” Song Yun shook his head quickly, but he was shocked inside, his sister could really read minds?
“Ah!
You’re blushing!” Song Yuxue exclaimed as she stared at Song Yun, “Bro, don’t tell me you were really thinking that?”
“How ridiculous, even if I really thought that, would I be blushing?” Song Yun tapped Song Yuxue’s head and said, “It’s just the reflection of the fireworks on my face!”
“Oh!” Song Yuxue looked up at the sky, where the fireworks were splendidly bursting in all their colorful glory, lifting the spirits of all who watched.
Nearly no woman could resist the charm of fireworks, whether they were luxurious or cheap, but any woman watching the man she admired, liked, or loved set off fireworks for her was surely blissful.
At least for now, the women standing near the fireworks, looking up, all felt a touch of sweetness.
Of course, this wasn’t to say they all loved Song Yun—at least that seemed impossible at the moment.
But on this night, without any other men around, Song Yun successfully focused all the sweetness on himself alone.
Meanwhile, at the secondary peak near the main peak, Zhou Guang and his group were preparing to sleep when they saw the fireworks bursting above the main peak.
The Ghost King frowned and grumbled, “Are they insane, setting off fireworks at this hour?”
“It’s New Year now,” the fortune teller chuckled, “Actually, I should wish you a Happy New Year.”
“I think I’d be happiest if we could find the treasure,” the Ghost King said coldly.
“Your life is too utilitarian, no fun at all,” the fortune teller, not at all intimidated by the Ghost King, smiled faintly and said, “Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are rare, it’s a perfect night.
From where I stand, the surrounding woods and trees exude a noble air, and beneath our feet lies a spot of excellent Feng Shui.
Just spending one night here, and tomorrow, we’ll have what we’re looking for!”
“Who would set off fireworks in the middle of the night?” Zhou Guang curiously looked through his binoculars toward the main peak, but given the great distance and lower elevation of the secondary peak, he couldn’t see anything from there.
“Probably some foolish lovers,” the fortune teller laughed, “After all, don’t young people today like to play at romance?
But I guess those people must be the ones we saw at the mountain pass earlier, the ones in the Land Rover.”
