Chapter 212: Release the river lanterns, his wish
Chen Zhuo turned around and did whatever his Taoist partner said.
As he gazed at the colorful lotus lanterns floating on the river, his mind flashed back to how Yu Xingwu had just acted coquettishly with him.
A heart is like the river in front of you, sparkling and hard to calm down.
Hearing the various wishes being made around me, I wondered in my heart - what kind of wish would she make.
The owner of the talisman stall invited Yu Xingwu to sit down at the table in front of the stall. After all, he had charged her extra spirit stones, so he had to provide attentive service.
The little rabbit didn't dare to speak and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
——Otherwise, my sister would definitely ask him to turn around! Then he wouldn't know what his sister's wish was.
The system was equally curious and stared closely at the talisman pen in Yu Xingwu's hand, clearly seeing her writing carefully on the talisman paper.
[Wish 1: Complete the mission and return home as soon as possible.
Wish 2: Complete the task as soon as possible and bring a boyfriend home.
Wish 3: At least one of the two wishes can come true. 】
[Okay, three wishes are enough. As a human being, you shouldn’t be too greedy! 】
Chen Zhuo: "..." She's right, three wishes is not greedy.
But what does it mean to bring a boyfriend home...and what does boyfriend mean, but are you talking about yourself...?
The system was shocked when it saw the three wishes written by Yu Xingwu, and exclaimed in its heart: Wow!
System: "I've seen people make wishes before, but I've never seen anyone make wishes like this. The host's wish number 2 is outrageous. You came here to complete a mission, and you can only go home after you complete it, but you still want to take one back with you! Isn't that outrageous!"
"I don't want to spoil the host's fun, but there is really no precedent. It is probably impossible for the host to bring a boyfriend home. The host should not think too much about it."
Yu Xingwu folded the talisman paper with the wish written on it and put it into the lotus lantern, then lit the candle. Her calm expression seemed as if she didn't care too much about what the system said.
[I already said it was a wish, what if it comes true? And didn’t you hear the stall owner say that the talismans he drew for prayers are very effective? If my wish doesn’t come true, I can just make him pay for it! 】
System: "..." Is this a matter of losing money? If none of the three wishes come true, the host will cry to death.
Chen Zhuo pursed his thin lips, his delicate features looked even more handsome under the light. Compared to losing money, he only hoped that her wish would come true.
Yu Xingwu stood up, holding the lotus lantern in one hand and the talisman pen in the other, and walked in front of Chen Zhuo. She raised her beautiful and ethereal face slightly and said with a smile: "Brother, the talisman pen is for you. It's your turn to write down your wish. I will also turn my back and promise not to peek at what you wrote!"
There was a gleam of light in Chen Zhuo's eyes. He reached out to tidy up a strand of hair that had fallen on Yu Xingwu's forehead, and said, "Okay."
After taking the talisman pen, he also wrote a line of words on the talisman paper, folded it and put it into the lotus lantern.
Yu Xingwu had her back to Chen Zhuo. Although she couldn't see what wish Chen Zhuo wrote down, the gossipy dog system saw the entire process of Chen Zhuo writing down his wish.
He even said in a mean way: "Host, do you want to know what wish your Taoist partner wrote?"
Yu Xingwu ignored the system. She was afraid that answering the system would arouse her curiosity again, so she simply pulled Chen Zhuo's arm and walked towards a less crowded place on the river bank.
Looking at the lotus lanterns on the river, I put my own lotus lantern into the river and closed my eyes and made a sincere wish like all the people who released river lanterns.
She opened her eyes and watched her lotus lantern gradually drift away. Only then did she realize that Chen Zhuo had been looking at her and he hadn't even put out his own lotus lantern yet.
"Brother, I'm not a lotus lantern, why are you always looking at me? Why don't you release river lanterns?"
Shen Zhuo nodded, then retracted his gaze and put the lotus lantern in his hand into the river.
The system saw Yu Xingwu staring at Chen Zhuo, and continued to talk nonsense without giving up: "Host, I know you are curious, just admit it!"
"If you really want to know what wish your husband has written, I am not afraid to tell you, but can the host also fulfill my wish and help me improve my performance~"
"Tonight the host bought the alchemy furnace and exchanged it for 10,000 points. These exchange points are not counted in the performance of this system. My heart aches! Please comfort the host~"
Yu Xingwu was completely speechless. Didn’t she spend any points tonight? She clearly spent another 2,400 to buy the medicinal materials for refining the Yuling Pill!
But in the end, my curiosity was aroused by the dog system.
[Let me make it clear first, it's not that I want to know his wish, it's just that I'm too soft-hearted to bear to see you look so pitiful. I just want to be a good person for once and help you achieve your performance! 】
System: Uh... just 6!
System: "Okay, okay, okay. I thank the host for his kindness! Listen carefully, your dear Taoist partner only wrote six words on the talisman paper - may she get what she wants."
"Yes, that's right, it's these six words. Are you surprised or shocked? Are you moved? Anyway, I am moved!"
Yu Xingwu: "..."
[Then you should pledge yourself to me.] 】
system:"……"
Chen Zhuo: "?"
Although Yu Xingwu said this to the system, she was actually still very touched.
She thought that his wish would be to get revenge as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that he actually prayed for her to get her wish.
She just wanted to know whose Taoist partner is so good. If she searched with a lantern, could she find another one like him?
A bright smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she took his hand and intertwined their fingers: "Brother, let's go watch the puppet show!"
Chen Zhuo lowered his eyes and said "OK" lightly. He seemed calm, but there were waves in his eyes. He probably didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hold his hand, and interlock their fingers.
…
Passing through the crowd, Yu Xingwu and Shen Zhuo arrived at the place where puppet show was being performed.
The system explained: "Host, in our place, this puppet show is also called puppet show, which uses puppets to interpret stories."
"Although the puppet shows here also use manufactured puppets to perform stories, these puppets are actually made by weapon refiners. Not only can they obey the orders of the weapon refiners, but the puppets themselves also have martial powers."
"A super powerful puppet can even destroy a sect, so the host should not underestimate the person performing the puppet show. Maybe he is a hidden top-level weapon refiner. Performing the puppet show is just for his own entertainment. Whether he earns spirit stones or not is not important."
Yu Xingwu agreed with the system's words. She had read many novels, and many protagonists would meet an old man in tattered clothes on the black market, selling inconspicuous treasures on the stall. These old men were the big guys hidden in the books.
This Wujie City is a mixed bag of people, so don't underestimate anyone around you, even if he is a street vendor.
Yu Xingwu arrived at the right time, just as the previous puppet show was ending.
A swarm of people crowded out of the huge tent, just like they were leaving after watching a movie. She was also protected in Chen Zhuo's arms, her whole body pressed against him, their eyes met, and there seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere spreading.
It was at this moment that Chen Zhuo suddenly lowered his head, and their breaths intertwined, making her wonder if he wanted to kiss her.
