Chapter 336 Dongjian Town
Just as the man and the eagle were preparing to find an inn to stay, the crowd in front of them suddenly burst into deafening cheers.
"Miss Qianqian, this way! Look this way!"
"Miss Qianqian, choose me! I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? With your character, how could Miss Qianqian possibly like you? She will definitely choose me!"
"Bullshit! You poor fellow, you still want to compete with me? Don't you even consider whether you have the qualifications?"
Fierce quarrels continued to be heard, and the crowd grew larger and larger, blocking the road ahead.
Murong Ling'er and the Golden Eagle King looked at each other and saw a hint of curiosity in each other's eyes.
"Be quiet! If you make any more noise, get out of this Dongjian Town!"
A loud and majestic voice came from the front of the crowd, like an invisible barrier, temporarily suppressing the noisy voices.
"Woman, it's very lively over there, take me over there to take a look, hurry up!"
The Golden Eagle King had been drifting on the sea for several months and was already bored. Now that he set foot on land, he felt everything was new to him, especially the bustling places, which were of great attraction.
As soon as it heard the cheers coming from not far away, it instantly became energetic, jumping on Murong Ling'er's shoulder, urging her impatiently.
Murong Ling'er really didn't have anything important to do at the moment, and the Golden Eagle King's roar was really noisy, disturbing her ears. She sighed helplessly and walked towards the direction of the noisy crowd.
Just as I walked to the back of the crowd, before I could see the situation clearly, the crowd suddenly exploded like a lit powder keg, and everyone started pushing and scrambling frantically.
Murong Ling'er frowned slightly, tapped her toes lightly, and her body rose as lightly as willow catkins, hovering briefly in the air. Her eyes passed over the crowd and looked towards the platform in front.
A graceful and beautiful woman stood in the center of the stage, with a gentle look in her eyes. The object of everyone's competition was a colorful hydrangea with exquisite embroidery.
"Huh? Is this a ball-throwing match?"
The Golden Eagle King was so excited that his neck stretched several inches, his eyes fixed on the hydrangea flying in the air. He looked as if he was about to break free from Murong Ling'er's control in the next second and rush into the crowd to join in the fun.
If Murong Ling'er hadn't been quick enough to grab its claws tightly, this overly excited guy might have really plunged into the crowd.
Murong Ling'er has never been interested in such worldly excitement. After watching for a while, she planned to turn around and leave.
But fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. At this moment, a man in the crowd who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like a young man suddenly exerted his strength, kicked up, and accurately kicked the hydrangea in someone's hand away.
The hydrangea seemed to have eyes and flew straight towards Murong Ling'er.
"Woman, catch it quickly!" The Golden Eagle King's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise. He shouted excitedly at the top of his voice. As if the matter was not big enough, he flapped his wings suddenly to help the hydrangea fly faster towards Murong Ling'er.
Murong Ling'er wanted to dodge sideways, but the Golden Eagle King's sudden action left her with no way to avoid it. In desperation, she had to reach out and firmly grasp the hydrangea in her hand.
The moment Murong Ling'er intercepted the hydrangea, the crowd, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet. Everyone seemed to be under a spell, and their eyes were focused on her.
Murong Ling'er looked calm, facing the gazes from all directions, without any ripples in her heart. She gently raised her hand and threw the hydrangea in her hand back into the air. She thought everyone would continue to scramble for it, but unexpectedly, this time, no one reached out to catch it.
"Oh my God! The hydrangea was actually caught by a woman. What's even more outrageous is that this woman is more beautiful than Miss Qianqian!" Someone in the crowd shouted first, instantly breaking the silence.
"What's the big deal? How can a woman snatch the bouquet? This game doesn't count, we have to start over. I won't admit it!" A rich young man in silk clothes jumped up and shouted.
"That's right, a woman grabbing the bouquet, how can this be allowed?" Everyone echoed, expressing their dissatisfaction and clamoring for the girl on the platform to throw it again.
When Qianqian, who was standing on the high platform, saw that the person who caught the hydrangea was a woman with a beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament, her originally nervous and tangled heart instantly relaxed, as if a big stone had been put down.
She breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the noisy crowd below, took light steps, bowed gracefully, and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "My fellow villagers, since this hydrangea has fallen into the hands of this young lady today, it must be heaven's arrangement. I believe that the fact that this young lady was able to catch the hydrangea means that we are destined to be together."
"Miss Qianqian, the one who caught the hydrangea was a woman, what should we do about this!" A big bearded man in the crowd shouted at the top of his voice, his voice full of unwillingness.
"Yes, yes! Miss Qianqian, please be kind and throw the ball one more time! Give us grown men a chance!"
A tall and thin man next to him also echoed, causing a group of people around to nod their heads. The shouting was one after another, almost overturning the entire venue.
However, Qianqian on the high platform seemed not to hear anything. She moved lightly with her lotus steps, her skirt fluttering gently with her movements. She turned around hurriedly and disappeared behind the curtain backstage.
The crowd's shouts continued to grow louder and louder, but she did not appear again.
Unlike those people who were full of resentment, Murong Ling'er had a stern expression. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glared fiercely at the Golden Eagle King who was standing on her shoulder and causing a big disaster. The coldness in her eyes made the Golden Eagle King shiver uncontrollably.
"Interesting?" she asked coldly, with a hint of suppressed anger in her voice.
The Golden Eagle King was already frightened to the point of being frozen. Although he seldom came into contact with the complicated affairs of human beings, he was also aware of the rule in the human world that "receiving a bouquet means getting married."
It originally thought that the fight over the hydrangea was just an amusing farce, but it never imagined that there were such complicated details behind it, and it never expected that Murong Linger would be put in such an embarrassing situation.
"Woman, let's run away!"
The golden eagle king's eyes rolled around, and he was giving advice anxiously, wishing he could spread his wings and fly away from this place of trouble.
But before it could finish its words, a group of big men in uniform pushed through the crowd and walked towards Murong Ling'er.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a professional smile on his face. He bowed and said, "Young lady, our Miss Qianqian would like to see you."
Murong Ling'er frowned even deeper, her expression cold and her tone firm, "I'm so sorry, it was just an unintentional mistake. I hope Miss Qianqian will forgive me. I have no interest in bothering you, so please let me go."
She had never had a good impression of places like brothels, and didn't want to get involved in such inexplicable things.
The middle-aged man showed no sign of backing down. A polite smile remained on his face as he patiently explained, "Young lady, this is probably your first time in Dongjian Town, right? You may not be familiar with the rules of our Caiyue Tower. Here, as long as someone catches the embroidered ball, regardless of whether they are male or female, we have to follow the rules."
"Don't worry, young lady. You just need to spend one night with our young lady Qianqian. No matter what you do, after this night is over, you can leave freely without any objections." He said it with a firm vow, his eyes showing sincerity.
"Our Caiyue Tower is well-known in Dongjian Town. We are not just some ordinary brothel. Miss, don't worry that we will do anything bad to you."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation. The big men around him also unconsciously moved forward, forming a subtle encirclement.
