The two spent two nights safely.
That day, Ming Yan finished his government affairs early and returned to the bedroom, only to see Li Shushu walking around bored.
It made sense. She had no relatives or friends in the demon clan and no one to talk to. If she went out, she was worried that people would recognize her as the God of War in Heaven. If the news got to Heaven, it would cause unnecessary trouble. So, she rarely went out now.
Ming Yan calculated with his fingers and found that there seemed to be a night market in Gui City tonight, so he asked, "Are you interested in going with me to inspect the people's sentiments tonight?"
When he is not fierce, his tone is gentle and magnetic, and his voice is very pleasant.
Li Shushu was bored as she picked up a small bunch of hair that fell on her shoulder and twisted it around her slender fingertips.
Ever since she changed into women's clothes, for some reason, some of her little girl behaviors have become more and more obvious.
Ming Yan looked at her intently and thought that the woman in this state was really cute. He couldn't help but want to be nicer to her.
"Okay, but..." She touched her face, "Will I get into trouble if I go out like this?"
"That's all right," Ming Yan said with a considerate wave. A purple veil appeared out of thin air, covering the lower half of her face. "You're wearing demon women's clothing now. If you cover your face like this, no one will think you're the Heavenly God of War."
After saying that, Ming Yan cast a spell to change himself into casual clothes, and the two of them took Long Xiao and Hu Yue out.
The Guishi Night Market, a market among people, is extremely lively.
The streets are crowded with people, and there is a wide variety of goods of all sizes and special snacks.
The four of them did not take a car or ride a horse, but just walked aimlessly in the market.
Li Shushu was different from other girls. She didn't care much for colorful rouge, jewelry, or cosmetics. However, when she walked to a shop and heard the noisy voices and cheers coming from inside, she became curious and couldn't help but slow down her pace.
"Want to go and have a look?" Ming Yan was in a rare good mood and asked in a gentle voice.
"Yeah," Li Shushu nodded without any hesitation.
Ming Yan looked at Long Xiao and Hu Yue again. They exchanged a knowing glance and shook their heads. "I'm a little hungry. Should I wait for His Majesty at the snack stand over here?"
"Okay!" Ming Yan curled his lips and nodded, took Li Shushu's hand, and walked briskly towards the shop.
Li Shushu: ..., looking at him holding her hand, she subconsciously struggled, "Don't try to take advantage of me!"
"Stop it," Ming Yan whispered. "We're outside, there are so many people around. You're now acting as my beloved. If we don't hold hands, how are you going to leave?"
Li Shushu looked around and saw that some people were indeed glancing towards them vaguely.
I think, even though Ming Yan is wearing casual clothes now, there are probably people who are well-informed and have already seen his identity.
I had no choice but to give up and let him lead me.
The entrance of the store is not big, just a narrow door, but after entering, it leads to a different world.
It turned out to be a three-story amphitheater.
The first floor was fenced off to form an arena, and the second and third floors were arranged as stands, with seats priced according to grade and angle, and sold to different guests for viewing and betting.
Ming Yan asked for a seat with the best angle on the third floor. As soon as the two of them sat down, a waiter brought them drinks and snacks.
At this moment, a fight between humans and beasts was taking place, and the crowd was watching with great excitement, with cheers, shouts, curses, and applause coming one after another.
Li Shushu followed their gaze and looked towards the arena on the first floor. She saw a little boy fighting with an orc who was three people taller than her.
The little boy looked to be about eight or nine years old. He probably didn't have enough to eat on weekdays. He was very thin and small. In front of the huge orc, he looked so weak that it seemed like the orc would crush him to death as easily as crushing an ant.
Li Shushu's heart was instantly gripped.
After watching carefully for a while, Li Shushu finally understood why the audience reacted so strongly: it turned out that the little boy looked weak, but he was very quick to react and agile. Although the giant was tall, it was precisely for this reason that he seemed a little slow to react and clumsy in front of the little boy, and the giant did not gain any advantage at all.
Instead, the little boy would sometimes sneak attack him a few times and quickly run away, and sometimes pass under his crotch, step directly on his waist and hit the giant's head.
The clumsy giant was teased and teased by the clever and thin little boy, which touched everyone's hearts. They cheered and applauded continuously. Even Li Shushu couldn't help but applaud.
Ming Yan watched all this coldly, his brows slightly furrowed, and he just kept drinking without any expression.
This fight was quite long and attracted a lot of attention and applause. In the end, although the little boy was beaten by the giant until he vomited blood and was covered with scars, he still won narrowly.
Those players who bet on the little boy to win left the market happily.
Even Li Shushu made a small profit.
After most people had left, Ming Yan put on a serious face and took Li Shushu's hand and prepared to go out.
Li Shushu noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Do you think watching this kind of performance is boring? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."
Ming Yan held her hand tightly and said, "No, don't think too much."
