Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Dragon Girl's Revenge Spreads Rumors with One Mouth...
"Absolutely not."
The person who spoke was Duan Zhiwei, and she looked very determined: "A Pan would never like such a... narcissistic man."
In short, it would be really rude to continue to make inexplicable assumptions. Duan Zhiwei was not willing to discuss it further. After all, she just wanted to know the reason why A Pan was unhappy, and she had no interest in her past and privacy.
Duan Zhiwei got up and went to the kitchen, where there was a large basin of fish waiting for her to prepare.
The Jinhua cat squatted on the side to supervise, clamoring to eat the kimchi fish from last time, as if it was not the one rolling on the ground because of the spiciness.
Duan Zhiwei picked out the largest black fish and unexpectedly felt something in its belly.
It can't be a piece of paper with "The Great Chu will rise, Chen Sheng will be the king" written on it, because that would cost you your head.
She hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to cut again. But the Jinhua cat became impatient and cut open the fish's belly with its claws in a few seconds.
"Well done." Duan Zhiwei applauded: "This basket of fish is in your hands."
She wrapped a brown and yellow scarf around the Jinhua cat's head.
Jinhua Cat: “…”
Duan Zhiwei continued to process the fish and took out a paperweight made of a goldfish from the fish's belly. The goldfish was made of five-colored glazed tiles and was carved to look lifelike, shining brightly under the light.
I guess some foolish man lost a paperweight on the boat and was swallowed by a big fish by mistake.
She washed the goldfish paperweight and placed it on the counter as a decoration. If the owner of the paperweight came over for dinner and recognized it, he could take it back.
After a basin of fish was dealt with by the Jinhua cat's "deadly meow claws", Duan Zhiwei and Xiaolang carefully rubbed the fish with fried coarse salt and hung them on the beams to dry.
Pu Tao helped Jinhua cat wash its paws by the well. After everyone was busy for a while, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Duan Zhiwei was busy all day and soon lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
There was a drizzle in the dream, and the raindrops gently hit Duan Zhiwei's face, making her feel as if she had returned to the misty Jiangnan region.
"Misty and rainy Jiangnan..." she yearned aloud in her dream.
Until a large drop of water hit her forehead and woke her up.
Duan Zhiwei suddenly opened his eyes and found that the whole room was filled with thick water vapor. The water vapor gathered together and formed white waves that floated around the room.
Yuan Shenji, who was still sleeping next to him, was awakened by her slaps: "Something happened, don't sleep anymore."
He had been sleeping well, and was suddenly awakened. He instinctively reached for the sword next to the cabinet and asked, "What happened?"
Even the experienced Jinwu Guard was startled by the drizzle in the house. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it raining outside?"
He stood up and put on his clothes. He wanted to take the ladder to the roof to check if the eaves were broken and the rain was leaking. Duan Zhiwei hurriedly followed him out.
The weather is clear tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. There is no sign of rain. Besides, Chang'an is dry in winter.
Where does the water vapor come from?
The Jinhua cat suddenly stumbled out from the main hall, its fur wet in large areas: "There's a monster!"
Duan Zhiwei asked: "Aren't you a monster?"
"It's not me... well, I can't explain it to you clearly."
A huge five-colored goldfish then floated out from the main hall, turned its back and gave the Jinhua cat a series of slaps with its beautiful tail.
The Jinhua cat looked a little pitiful, so Duan Zhiwei quickly forked it to avoid the attack of the goldfish: "Where did you offend the monster? You must have offended it when you were stealing fish to eat."
The Jinhua cat was slapped so hard that he was dizzy: "I really didn't steal any fish today."
The beautiful goldfish looked very angry. It circled around the Jinhua cat, and finally puffed up its mouth and sprayed water all over its face. Duan Zhiwei, who was holding the cat, also suffered.
The huge noise woke up everyone in the yard next door, and everyone ran over.
Yuan Shenji was unsure whether to draw his sword against the goldfish with its mouth puffed up, so he reached out to grab it. The fish was slippery and broke free with a slight wiggle.
The scene was quite funny for a while.
"That's enough."
The one who spoke was Apan.
She stood in the farthest shadow, with some glowing scales faintly visible on the side of her face.
"Oh no, A Pan is possessed by an evil spirit." Aunt Duan screamed and went back to her room to get the talisman she had asked for at the Taoist temple.
The goldfish finally stopped spitting out water. It jumped lightly in the air and water mist from the void continued to appear around its body. The mist quickly turned into huge waves and wrapped the goldfish.
Then the wave exploded, and a little girl fell out of the mist.
The girl was wearing a goose yellow skirt and a willow-colored half-sleeve. She had a cute double bun with rings on it. The bells on the bun were jingling.
She has a pair of round eyes and a pink face, which makes her look very cute, except for some scales on her temples.
"Oh, so cute." Duan Zhiwei changed to the clip tone again.
"If it's such a cute little demon, then I can reluctantly forgive it." The Jinhua cat stretched out its claws to wipe the water marks on its face.
The little goldfish demon ignored it and ran straight to Ah Pan, looking up at her and smiling: "Dragon Lady, Libo finally found you!"
"Dragon Girl?"
"Your Highness?"
A Pan sighed softly.
The fire in the main hall was lit again, Duan Zhiwei wiped his face which was covered with water droplets, and the Jinhua cat also hurried to dry its wet fur.
Ah Pan sat at the dining table and hesitated for a long time: "I am a dragon girl from Ono Lake."
Her parents passed away after a long time. There was a severe drought that year and the lake dried up. She wanted to go to Dongting Lake to ask her uncle for help, but on the way she was spotted by the Dragon King of Jing River and captured.
A Pan wrote a letter and asked Li Bo to find someone to bring the letter to his uncle. Liu Wuhe, who was going to Chang'an for an imperial examination, didn't want to help, but there was a pearl attached to the letter.
A flawless, huge, priceless pearl.
So he reluctantly went to Dongting Lake and brought reinforcements to Apan.
Ah Pan was very angry: "I gave him my only jewel, and he actually wrote a play about the dragon girl repaying her gratitude to humiliate me."
After she was rescued, she wanted to stay in Chang'an for a few days and live a peaceful life. Xuangui from Nanyan Temple came to her and said that the two ladies in Duan's restaurant were kind-hearted and she could stay there for a few days.
A Pan originally wanted to stay in the restaurant for a few months and then go home, but Duan Zhiwei remembered her birthday and cooked a table of delicious meals for her; Aunt Duan was such a thrifty person that she also gritted her teeth and made her a set of clothes.
She felt warm and didn't want to leave.
A Pan turned his gaze towards the aunt and nephew. They were cursing Liu Wuhe and threatening to make him pay a price.
A Pan smiled rarely.
The next morning, the sky cleared up in Chang'an. The wintersweets by the Qujiang Lake were in full bloom, and the heavy snow weighed down the branches, like a layer of soft snowflake cakes.
There were many tourists. The tavern by the river had set up a thick felt tent and a pot of boiling wine was burning on the charcoal fire, bubbling with hot steam.
Liu Wuhe was surrounded by the crowd, telling a new story "The Beautiful Fox Fairy Gave Up Her Thousand Years of Taoism for Me". After all, he was a fifth-rank official and the son-in-law of Cui from Boling, so the people around him couldn't help but flatter him.
It was a clear sky today, but as he was talking excitedly, the sky suddenly turned cloudy.
Perhaps it was going to snow again, and the tourists went back disappointed. Liu Wuhe also cursed the weather, and then left the tavern surrounded by several servants.
A lady wearing a veil hat stood gracefully among the withered lotus leaves.
Seeing her slender figure, Liu Wuhe showed a frivolous look again: "Where did you come from, beautiful lady? How about watching the snow with me?"
A gust of wind blew, and the white gauze on her veil fluttered to the sides, revealing the golden light in her eyes and the glowing scales on her cheeks.
"Didn't Liu Sheng say in the play that I am willing to jump into the river with you and go to hell together? It just so happens that the scenery of Qujiang is beautiful. You can go down and try it yourself first."
Liu Wuhe finally remembered who she was and waved his hands hastily: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Several layers of ice on Qujiang River began to crack, and ice fragments hit Liu Wuhe's face.
He stumbled twice and hurried back: "I didn't mean to offend you, I just wrote it this way because people in Chang'an like to read it."
A Pan pointed his finger at the ice, and the ice completely cracked. A colorful goldfish suddenly jumped out from the water, flicked its tail and threw Liu Wuhe down.
"Help! I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!" He struggled underwater, trying to grab the ice and climb up, but was dragged back by a school of fish in Qujiang River.
"Ouch, that hurts!" The group of fish began to peck his butt.
"What did you do wrong?" A Pan asked while squatting by the river.
"I shouldn't have made up stories. I won't dare to do it again. Please let me go, gulp..." He took several more sips of ice water.
Seeing that he had drunk enough water, A Pan pointed again, and a whirlpool appeared out of nowhere in Qujiang River, making Liu Wuhe dizzy.
"I was wrong, ugh..."
The whirlpool had spun enough and suddenly flung him out and onto the shore, where several servants hurried over to help him.
He was wearing a red and green brocade robe today, looking like a peacock drowned in water.
There were already many tourists in Qujiang, and now there were even more tourists surrounding the embankment in three layers, all pointing at him and laughing.
Liu Wuhe was carried away in disgrace by several servants.
This time, A Pan finally calmed down. He dusted off the dust on his body, and then walked lightly back to the restaurant with Libo.
Liu Wuhe's scandal soon spread throughout Chang'an City. Some gossipers immediately wrote a play called "Revenge of the Dragon Girl", which was even more popular than "Repay a Favor". If you wanted to watch this play, you had to book it in advance, and even money might not work.
After all, the funny look of Yagyu begging for help on the stage was really funny, and even several princesses called a troupe to perform it at home.
Duan Zhiwei specially launched the "Dragon Girl's Revenge Set Meal", which includes jelly mixed with willow sprouts, referring to the ugly appearance of Liu Sheng falling from Qujiang; crispy glutinous rice and mushroom chicken, which is full of fragrant black-hearted mushrooms after a cut, referring to the black-hearted Liu Sheng; kimchi fish soup, with spicy and numbing taste, shows the anger of the Dragon Girl.
Anyone who comes to the store can get the storybook "Revenge of the Dragon Girl" for free
As for the Dragon Girl herself, Ah Pan returned to his indifferent appearance, only occasionally when kneading dough or making a fire, he would suddenly laugh and scare the people around him.
The restaurant also recruited Li Bo, a five-colored goldfish. Most of the time, she transformed into a paperweight and lay on the counter. Occasionally, she transformed into her original form and had a love-hate relationship with the Jinhua cat.
At present, because Libo learned from Dugu that the original name of Jinhua cat is "Shi Gou", Libo is temporarily better in this long battle.
"Ten dogs, ten dogs, ten dogs!"
"Don't you dare call me that name, you nasty goldfish!"
"Ten dogs, ten dogs, ten dogs!"
"I said! Don't call me by that name!"
Dugu Luling was off duty that day and had the rare leisure time to sit in a restaurant and order a crispy glutinous rice and mushroom chicken.
The chicken skin is baked crispy, and it makes a crisp "crunch" sound when picked up with chopsticks, and the rich aroma of the chicken immediately comes out.
Take another bite, the chicken skin is crispy like a layer of dead leaves, but the chicken inside is very tender and juicy. Just take a light bite with your teeth, the juice overflows, and it is extremely tender and smooth.
Duan Zhiwei brought him a pot of wine and asked tentatively, "Did the Liu family cause you any trouble?"
I heard that the man surnamed Liu went back and complained to his wife. After all, the Cui family of Boling was a prominent family. They were so angry that their son-in-law was tricked by a monster that they went to the Monster Catching Bureau to complain.
Dugu looked at her with amusement: "Although the Cui family of Boling is a noble family, the Dragon Lord of Dongting Lake obviously has more face."
Dongting Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in this dynasty, so the Dragon King of Dongting Lake must have a great reputation, so Duan Zhiwei felt relieved.
Libo transformed into a human form and started quarreling with the Jinhua cat again. The Jinhua cat had just learned to stand on two feet and was chopping fish in the backyard with its two front paws raised. When she picked up the cat and walked around, the cat started yelling in anger.
It was rare for Dugu to be here, Duan Zhiwei asked: "I heard that Jinhua's magic power was sealed, and it couldn't even transform into a human form. These days, I saw Libo and A Pan with envy in their eyes. Can you..."
Dugu always had a calm expression of a worldly-wise person, but when he heard her words, his face turned serious: "No."
"It has no sealing spell, and it has no possibility of transforming into a human. Let's not talk about it anymore."
