Chapter 184 Dragon-Shaped Lantern
To be honest, with Sang Yunqi's temperament, it is very incongruous for her to wear such a cute dog mask, especially those light-colored indifferent eyes, which really have nothing to do with cuteness.
But Chu Xinglan still felt indescribable joy in his heart. The object with his own characteristics appearing on the other person's body was like a declaration, a kind of possession, especially when the other party was very cooperative.
"I like it. It looks very nice."
Sang Yunqi still had some self-esteem, but seeing how happy his little disciple was, he decided to satisfy him.
The master and the disciple strolled on the street like ordinary people.
"Master, have you ever been to a temple fair before?"
"No, there are too many people. I don't really like this kind of occasion."
Chu Xinglan had just asked casually, but he didn't expect to hear such an honest answer. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment, especially when he thought about how his master had refused at first.
Looking at his master who was dodging passers-by, Chu Xinglan spoke a little embarrassedly.
"If Master doesn't like it, why don't we go back?"
Sang Yunqi held onto one of his hands and said, "It's okay. That was in the past. Now I think visiting a temple fair is a good thing."
Fan Lou, who was following behind and had been forgotten by the two, couldn't stand their sour conversation any longer, so he stepped forward, pulled their hands apart, and squeezed in between them.
"I say, you two, can you please be a little more self-aware? You are here to accompany me to the temple fair, not just the two of you to the temple fair. Accompany me, understand?"
Fan Lou has a feminine look and a thin figure, but he is not short at all and seems to be a little taller than Sang Yunqi.
He stood in the middle, blocking the two people's view completely.
Chu Xinglan: “…”
Sang Yunqi: “…”
Fan Lou felt the two people's gazes on him and was very satisfied with his action. For a moment, his back straightened even more.
He looked at both sides of the street and pointed to a stall selling lanterns not far to the left: "Let's go there first."
What could Sang Yunqi and the others say, especially since the place was full of people. Even if they wanted to teach Fan Lou a lesson, they couldn't do it. They had to resign themselves to their fate and follow Fan Lou to see the lanterns.
The owner of the stall looked quite old, with gray hair on his temples, but he was very kind. At the moment, he was smiling at the customers who were choosing lanterns.
There were two pairs of young men and women in front of the stall, selecting lanterns in a low voice. Fan Lou glanced at the lotus lantern in the girl's hand next to him, curled his lips in disdain, and his eyes fell on the stall.
There are many kinds of lanterns on the stall, with only two or three of each kind. Although they are all ordinary objects, each one is made very delicately. Chu Xinglan is completely attracted by them. His eyes scan the stall, and everything he sees is beautiful.
Fan Lou picked and chose but always felt unsatisfied. Finally, he chose a rabbit lantern from the fox lantern and the rabbit lantern in his hand.
Then he quickly picked up a yellow and white cat lantern from the stall and handed it to Chu Xinglan, and a black puppy lantern to Sang Yunqi.
"Hey, this is a gift from me to you."
Chu Xinglan looked at the adorable cat lantern in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. His eyes once again swept over the mighty dragon lantern on the stall.
What if he thinks that one suits him better and looks better?
Fan Lou noticed his gaze and sneered, "What's so good about that ugly thing? The rabbit lamp in my hand is the best looking on this stall, followed by the little black dog in your master's hand. You, a little cat, can be ranked third."
After saying that, Fan Lou took out a piece of silver and threw it to the stall owner: "No need for change."
The stall owner took it happily and took out three magnolia flowers from the basket next to the stall and handed them to Fan Lou.
"You guys should be from outside, so I'm giving these three magnolia flowers to you as a blessing to you."
Chu Xinglan took it curiously, and then he discovered that the stall owner had a magnolia flower pinned on his chest, and the young men and women around him also had a few magnolias pinned on their chests.
"What does this Magnolia have to say?"
The boss was easy to talk to. Seeing his question, he explained enthusiastically, "Our Haiyang City has been in turmoil for hundreds of years. The people were living in poverty, not having enough food to eat, and could lose their lives at any time."
"At that time, an immortal took pity on the people of Haiyang City and bestowed blessings on them, which led to the prosperity of Haiyang City. The people wanted to thank the immortal for his kindness, but he refused and only said to plant a magnolia tree for them."
"From then on, whenever there was a major event in Haiyang City, we would wear a magnolia on our chest to commemorate the immortal and to express our gratitude."
After saying that, the stall owner looked at the young couple in front of the stall and said with a smile: "Of course there is another meaning, which is to wish lovers to finally get married."
Upon hearing this, the young couple blushed with embarrassment, paid the money in a hurry and left.
Chu Xinglan just asked casually, but he didn't expect there was really a story behind it. Of course, this story is just for listening. The immortal mentioned by the stall owner is most likely a cultivator. As for Magnolia, it should be because the cultivator liked her.
Several people obediently pinned the magnolia flowers on their chests, said goodbye to the stall owner, and left carrying their own lanterns.
After walking a little further away, Fan Lou curled his lips and flicked the petals of the magnolia with his fingers: "These mortals are really ignorant. They actually still believe in these things. It's ridiculous."
Chu Xinglan looked at this duplicity guy with amusement, "Then why didn't you say it in front of the stall owner just now? If you don't like it, I can help you pick the flower."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to take it off for him. Fan Lou subconsciously protected it with his hand and turned in a direction to avoid his hand.
Thinking about it, he still felt unsatisfied and glared at Chu Xinglan fiercely.
Chu Xinglan laughed out loud, and even Sang Yunqi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Fan Lou was too lazy to pay attention to these two annoying guys. He strode forward angrily, even forgetting that he had deliberately walked between the two of them.
Chu Xinglan naturally approached his master and took a look at the cat lantern in his hand with some disgust.
Fan Lou is such a big demon lord, but he actually likes cute rabbits. What kind of aesthetic taste is that? The key point is that he is very proud of it and doesn't betray others at all.
However, looking at the little black dog that his master was carrying, Chu Xinglan seemed to understand a little bit. As long as he was not asked to hold these cute things, he could still appreciate them.
Sang Yunqi, who knew his little disciple's temperament very well, chuckled and shook his head, reached out to take the lantern from his hand, and took out a dragon-shaped lantern from somewhere, which was the one he had coveted on the stall before.
Chu Xinglan took it with surprise, "Master, when did you buy it?"
