"I want your auspicious cloud golden lock."
Li Mingke: Huh?
"What are you 'ah' about? My sister has spoken, so take it off now!" Seeing Li Mingke and Qian'a staring at each other, Ting Tong stepped forward and reached out her claws to grab her neck.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you! Don't move, I'll do it myself!"
Li Mingke was afraid that he had made a mistake, so she quickly took off the gold lock around her neck.
It's just a gold lock! She wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead. This auspicious cloud gold lock had no special abilities; it was just a talisman for protection and peace.
If she wants it, just give it to her!
"The golden lock is yours now, let's begin the second round!"
Hmph, she was just unlucky the first time, she'll definitely win the second round!
But reality quickly slapped him in the face.
"Five points to two points! You lost again!"
Li Mingke: ...
Could my luck get any worse?!
"What do you want this time?" Li Mingke's eyes had lost their light.
"Hmm..." Qian'a looked her up and down carefully.
"Sister, is that string of beads on her wrist nice?" Ting Tong whispered to Qian A Ti for her opinion.
Hearing that they wanted Buddhist prayer beads, Li Mingke's heart skipped a beat, while Bie Chen closed his eyes to hide the murderous intent in them.
"No, those beads are ugly." The grayish beads are not pretty at all.
call……
Her heartbeat is back to normal. Thank goodness she didn't like her!
Li Mingke could already feel the chill emanating from Bie Chen.
"I want your shoes." Qian'a squatted on the ground, staring intently at her feet.
"ah?"
"What are you 'huh' for? My sister wants your shoes, take them off now!"
"I gave you my shoes, what am I going to wear?"
"Who cares about you!"
"Are you going to take it off or not? If you don't, we're leaving!" Ting Tong grabbed Qian A and made a move to leave.
Li Mingke gritted his teeth and, after several struggles, finally took off his shoes.
"Here." She lifted the back of the shoe, her snow-white socks stepping on the ground.
Li Mingke had never wished he had smelly feet as much as he did now.
Why don't you just suffocate them?!
Her feet were larger than Qian'a's, and the clothes obviously didn't fit the twelve-year-old girl.
She was indignant, but when she saw the shoes that Qian'a had taken off, she fell silent.
Because Qian'a was wearing a long outer robe with her feet hidden inside, she hadn't noticed until now that she had taken off her shoes. She then realized that Qian'a was wearing very ordinary cloth shoes with worn-out soles.
"Brother, look, there are pearls on the shoes." After realizing that the shoes didn't fit, Qian'a took them off and was overjoyed to find the pearls. She held them up to show her brother.
In the brother and sister's worldview, it was obviously abnormal to embroider pearls on shoes. How could something that was frequently bumped and easily worn out be embroidered with something so precious?
Therefore, Ting Tong subconsciously believed that the pearl was fake.
But seeing Li Mingke adorned with jewels and hearing about how wealthy and powerful families spent money like water, he began to believe that the pearls were genuine.
"What kind of lousy bead is this? Why is it purple? Could it be fake?" Ting Tong asked angrily.
"Because it's a purple pearl." Li Mingke was still feeling sorry for himself for not having shoes to wear.
"What is a purple bead?" Qian'a asked, raising her little head and blinking her eyes.
Bie Chen snorted coldly, "The Purple Pearl is the king of all pearls. It takes five hundred years to produce one. A single pearl the size of a longan can buy a city." He curled his lip at the two siblings, "Even a beggar like me knows that."
He's just mocking their ignorance!
Ting Tong was furious, while Qian A held the shoes with her eyes shining.
"Yes, yes, these shoes aren't worth much. The most valuable thing is the purple beads! Can you remove the beads and give me back the shoes?" She still wanted to wear the shoes; wearing only socks was quite uncomfortable. Small pebbles kept getting stuck between her toes.
"No." Qian'a clutched the shoe tightly. "There are little birds embroidered with gold thread on it. I like it."
Li Mingke said helplessly, "Can I trade you something more valuable?"
Qian A shook her head desperately.
Ting Tong: "Alright, alright, it's just a pair of shoes! Let's start the next game!"
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
"Six points to one!"
Li Mingke felt utterly hopeless.
They definitely cheated! Absolutely!
"Oh, it seems your luck isn't so good today. Little sister, what did you fancy this time?"
"I want your clothes," the little girl whispered.
Goodness, this time he's taken a liking to what she's wearing!
"Can you leave me one of your coats? I can't be left naked, can I?" she said as she took off her coat.
Bie Chen chuckled, earning a sharp glare from Li Mingke.
Qian A nodded.
As soon as the robe was opened, the blue disguise bead inside was revealed, and Ting Tong and Qian A, the brother and sister, both opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Li Mingke: Oh no, this is terrible!
"Let's begin the fourth round!" Ting Tong said impatiently.
Seeing the burning fire in the eyes of the brother and sister, Li Mingke knew what their next target was.
The dice came to a stop at her feet with a clatter.
"Four points to two points, looks like we've won again! This time we'll..."
"This time, you won't get whatever you want!"
Li Mingke shouted and bent down instantly. Bie Chen emerged from behind her, his fingertips pointing directly at Qian'a's brow.
The two panicked instantly.
"Sister!" Ting Tong tried to stand in front of Qian A, but Bie Chen was faster and grabbed Qian A's neck first.
"Let her go!" Ting Tong shouted.
"Fine, break the formation and let us go, or I can't guarantee what I might do to your sister!"
Ting Tong's eyes were bloodshot, yet he was helpless.
Qian'a's feet were already off the ground, and she tried desperately to pry Bie Chen's hands off, but it was clear that their strength was not on the same level.
Li Mingke put on the clothes and shoes he had just lost, put the gold lock back on, and in the blink of an eye, he was a handsome young man again.
"How about that? Didn't expect that, did you? In the blink of an eye, the initiative is now in our hands!"
"Damn it!" Ting Tong tried to save Qian A, but was blasted away by Bie Chen's internal force.
"Fine, let her go! I'll let you leave!" Ting Tong finally gave in.
"You break the formation first!"
"Let go of the rope first!"
The two were deadlocked, neither willing to take the first step.
"Your sister is going to die because of you!" Bie Chen said to Ting Tong.
At this moment, Qian'a's lips turned purple, and she could no longer speak.
Ting Tong finally made up her mind, "Fine, I'll let you go!"
He clenched his fists, extended two fingers, and muttered incantations.
"Okay, it's untied."
Bie Chen still didn't let go, dragging Qian A a few steps.
Sure enough, the scenery changed, and it no longer went in circles like before.
He let go of her hand, and Qian'a knelt on the ground coughing.
Ting Tong helped her younger sister up and bared her teeth at Bie Chen like a young wolf, but Bie Chen ignored her.
He gave a disdainful smile, then put his hands behind his back and walked away from Li Mingke.
Ting Tong looked at the tears in the corners of her younger sister's eyes and gritted her teeth.
Ha, you thought it was over?
As Li Mingke walked, he talked to Bie Chen about their perfect teamwork just now.
"...So in order to keep them calm and attract their attention, I had no choice but to play dice with them. But speaking of which, why am I so unlucky today? I didn't win a single one out of four rounds! Surely that Qian'a guy has received professional training, right?"
Then she changed the subject, "Look at Ting Tong's expression, haha, it's hilarious! Didn't expect we had this trick up our sleeve, did you?"
She laughed and turned her head, trying to pat the person next to her on the shoulder, but only managed to pat the rough tree trunk.
It hurts!
She rubbed her palms.
"Farewell to Dust?"
There was no one around.
How strange, she was just here a moment ago, and I was even talking to her!
"Bie Chen!!!" she shouted even louder.
There has still been no response.
Where did that kid run off to?
She searched in circles.
Then, as she was walking, she suddenly covered her head and squatted down on the ground.
This is incredible! The same stone has appeared three times!
In other words...
She's entered the formation again!
"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't expect that, did you? You're celebrating too soon!"
Ting Tong appeared before him carrying Qian A on his back and walked towards her step by step.
“You guys…?” Li Mingke’s eyes widened.
"You don't have any particularly noteworthy skills, do you? All the fighting ability belongs to the other person." He gave a cruel smile. "This time, no one's helping you. What are you going to do?"
Li Mingke clenched his fist.
We shouldn't have shown mercy just now, letting them go because they were young!
Just as Ting Tong was closing in on her, the sound of wind breaking came whistling through the air.
A long spear pierced through Qian'a's back and emerged from Tingtong's chest.
Ting Tong stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the splattered blood before her.
"What to do? Let's do it this way!"
A voice, as clear and cool as moonlight under the eaves, rang out.
The sticky feeling of metal rubbing against flesh gives one goosebumps.
Drops of blood trickled down the gun barrel and seeped into the soil.
With a "thud," the two figures fell lifelessly to the ground, the younger sister still clinging to her brother's back.
"Moon?!" Li Mingke's voice trembled with surprise when he saw the person who had arrived.
"Sorry, brother, I'm late!"
