Chapter 165 I Want Those Two Spiritual Beads

"How is it? Say something." Seeing that he was staring at the mirror without any response, Chujiu picked up his braid and shook it in front of him.

Mo Xinglan then came back to his senses and looked at her in the mirror, saying softly, "She looks good."

She was stunned for a moment, and she felt that he was not talking about the braids she had braided for him, but she did not have enough evidence to prove it. She could only nod and said, "That's fine."

……

The market in Piaomiao Domain on the Mid-Autumn Night is bustling with lights and feasting.

Different activities were taking place one after another on both sides of the street, and they were crowded with people.

There are animal trainers performing with their own pets; there are riddles to be guessed; there are prizes to be won by clearing levels; there are shows of how things are done... there is everything.

"Wow! So cute!"

Chujiu lay on the fence of the spirit pet performance venue, exclaiming with sparkling eyes.

At this time, a pet that looked like a rabbit was running on a ring in the performance field. One of the other two was standing on a ball with its feet and a ball in its mouth. The other one had just performed an item and was being fed by its owner.

Chu Furong nodded, also looking at it with shining eyes. However, she was not as exaggerated as Chu Jiu, but stood by the fence.

This kind of cute pet is a favorite of girls, and the majority of people who come here to watch the show are girls.

For straight men like Gao Yashan, Mo Xinglan and Zhuohua, it is completely impossible to understand their feelings.

Gao Yashan switched back and forth between Chu Furong, Chu Jiu and the performance arena with a puzzled look on his face, trying to get those pets to find something that could attract the two of them.

From the beginning, Mo Xinglan's eyes were not on the performance area, but were always on Chujiu who was climbing on the fence.

As for Zhuohua, his expression was different from Mo Xinglan and Gao Yashan. It could even be said that his expression was different from that of everyone present.

Although he was also looking at the three pets with shining eyes, the amazing thing was that he was drooling from the corners of his mouth.

After a long while, he finally raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then murmured: "Such a delicate and tender rabbit looks delicious. Braised rabbit head, roasted rabbit... hehehehe..."

When I was wildly imagining all the ways the spirit rabbit would act, I suddenly felt a pain in my forehead and was forcibly brought back to my senses.

His wonderful fantasy was interrupted and he became furious. He looked around angrily and saw Chu Furong glaring at him warningly with her fist raised.

Knowing that the person who hit him was his master, he could only cover his forehead with his hands and hold his mouth in grievance, "I was wrong."

Chujiu was so absorbed in watching that she was completely unaware of the situation. She continued to say how cute it was while looking at it with shining eyes. If you look closely at her eyes, you can easily see two hearts in them.

"So cute, I want to hug you!" Chujiu has said this for countless times. She looks at her pet with eyes that can make tears come out.

The boy who had been watching her saw her like this for the first time and felt that she was countless times cuter than the pet on the show.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly inadvertently, and his eyes became softened unconsciously.

"so cute!"

Suddenly a man's voice came into his ears.

He subconsciously turned his head to look.

But the man was not looking at the performing pet, he was clearly staring at Chujiu.

His eyes turned cold, and he looked around. As expected, most of the men present were looking at Chujiu.

The hands hanging by his side clenched and tightened again, and his face became gloomy, as if he was about to go crazy and attack someone at the next moment.

They didn't watch the pets' performances on the stage, but looked at her instead. Damn it. Should I dig out their eyes someday?

For some reason, the men suddenly felt a chill on their backs. They came to their senses and looked around but found nothing.

What a hell!

Mo Xinglan retracted his gaze, reached out with a cold face and pulled up Chujiu who was squatting on the ground.

Chujiu was brought back to his senses by his sudden pull, with a puzzled look on his face: "?"

What is he doing? She is watching well, why is he pulling her?

"Let's go." He held her hand tightly, pushed away the people around him and strode out of the crowd.

Chujiu looked back every three steps to watch the performance of the spirit pet, shouting, "Hey! What are you doing? I, I still want to watch. Oh!"

"Ouch! Slow down, slow down!"

Mo Xinglan remained silent, not giving her any chance to resist.

Finally, after overcoming many obstacles, he pulled Chujiu out of the crowd.

After walking for a while, he stopped.

Chujiu raised one hand to fan her red face from being squeezed by the crowd, panting as she looked at Mo Xinglan who was leaning against the pillar: "No, I was wondering what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly pull me out?"

"..."Faced with Chujiu's questioning, Mo Xinglan remained silent.

The tearing pain in his body made him subconsciously cover the wound on his chest and abdomen with his right hand.

Could he tell her that he took her away because he didn't want those men to see her?

The answer is of course no.

At this time, Chujiu noticed that he was covering his wound with his hand and looked up at his face.

Only then did she realize that his forehead was covered in sweat, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was even trembling slightly. It must have been because he had pulled the wound on his body when he was pulling her out of the crowd.

"Does the wound... hurt?" she worried.

Mo Xinglan looked at her for a long time, hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say a word. But it was also considered as tacit agreement.

"Let's find a place to rest." Chujiu went forward and supported him.

I looked around and realized that I had lost Chu Furong and the other two.

But they were not like her who had a poor sense of direction, so they would not get lost. The most important thing now was to find a teahouse or something so that Mo Xinglan could rest for a while.

While looking for a teahouse, the two passed by a challenge prize event venue.

There aren't many people here, and only a few are participating in the challenge.

There was a sign next to the entrance that read: Challenge the levels, and the contestant who wins the final victory will receive twelve spiritual beads. All contestants will receive a participation prize.

There is also a clear message under the sign: Only couples can participate in this competition. Only one of the two can participate in each level, and the other can provide small assistance.

Chujiu was completely worried about Mo Xinglan's injuries and just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest as soon as possible, so he only glanced at the challenge field and did not see the sign.

Mo Xinglan, who was being supported by her, saw the sign and the words on it at a glance.

He stopped, stared at the sign for a while, then looked back at the competition field.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Chujiu saw that he had stopped and had to stop too, asking in confusion.

He pointed at the sign, turned around and looked at her very seriously: "I want those twelve spiritual beads, can you help me win them?"

"Ah?" Chujiu was stunned for a moment after hearing his words. He looked in the direction he pointed and saw the sign.

She read the content on the sign carefully, and her eyes finally fell on the word "partner". Suddenly she remembered his confession to her when he had a fever, and her face turned red. But the next moment she was stunned again.
