Chapter 20 Riverside

 When Yun Xi and others came to Mingyue River, many people had gathered on both sides of this Yangtze River, which is quite famous in Yuezhou.

The street lamps on the bank of the river are surrounded by lantern-shaped covers. The light shines from them, and the light is slightly dim. A group of people squat on the bank, holding lotus-shaped river lanterns in their hands, gently lighting the wicks, and then swaying the lights.

The river lanterns were placed on the water.

The water flows from top to bottom, carrying these people's river lanterns into the distance.

"This is one of Tianling's customs. It's called placing river lanterns. You make a wish to the river lanterns, and then put the river lanterns into the river. The river water will carry the river lanterns into the distance, and then help people realize their wishes. In fact, it's the same as

New Year's wishes have almost the same meaning."

Yun Xi introduced them to what the people of Jiangming were doing.

"Isn't this superstitious? How can a wish come true like this?"

Bai Qing said he couldn't understand.

Yun Xi smiled and said: "It's more like a blessing than a superstition. Everyone knows whether it can come true, but it's quite interesting to do it if you have nothing to do."

She looked at the river lanterns that glowed with various colors on the water: "And these river lanterns are made of a special material and can degrade by themselves after being soaked in water for half an hour, so there is no need to worry."

"What, do you want to try?"

Bai Qing's dark little nose breathed lightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Well...since you said so, I will reluctantly give it a try. Xian'er, go buy some river lanterns.

."

"Yes, young patriarch."

Fox Fairy'er is very unfamiliar with this, but she is not stupid, so she can naturally see where these people bought the lotus-like lamps.

But just two steps out, she paused again, then turned around, looked at them and said, "Um...can the beast carving be used here?"

Yun Xi then remembered that Fox Fairy'er was from the orc clan, and the currency they used in the Sky Beast Continent was beast engravings, which were not commonly used in Tianling. At this time, it would be troublesome to exchange them for Tianling coins.<

/p>

"I'll go with you."

Yun Xi handed the little fox to You Tingjing and said to Fox Fairy'er.

"Thank you, Master Yunxi."

Fox Fairy said.

Yun Xi smiled: "There's no need to be so reserved."

She took out a stack of spirit yuan from the storage ring, handed it to Hu Xian'er, and said: "If Bai Qing or you want to buy something in the future, just buy it. If it's not enough, let me know."

"This..."

Fox Fairy'er looked at the thick spirit essence in Yun Xi's hand and deliberately refused, but Bai Qing's childish but not at all polite voice came from behind: "I just accepted it, why are you so polite to her?"<

/p>

"Ah, okay, okay."

Fox Fairy accepted the spirit yuan and thanked her again: "Thank you, Lord Yunxi."

Yun Xi smiled, seeing how stubborn she was, she didn't do much to correct her.

The two of them walked towards the place selling river lanterns. It was only around seven or eight in the evening. Although it was getting late, there were quite a lot of people walking along the Mingyue River. Everyone was not blind, so of course they saw Yun Xi and others.

Subtle and colorful discussions, pairs of surprised or curious eyes... Many people were looking at them, but no one came close. There were not many fools in this world, and no one would be stupid enough to look at Yun Xi despite knowing her identity.

People who don’t know whether to live or die come to strike up a conversation.

If Yun Xi is made unhappy, other Yun Xi admirers around him can beat them to death without Yun Xi having to step forward.

"First time coming to Tianling?"

Yun Xi asked.

Fox Fairy nodded: "Yes. I have thought about coming here before, but the clan leader said... the heavenly spirits are too dangerous for the orcs, especially the fox girls."

The patriarch she was talking about was naturally not the patriarch of the Snow Fox Clan, but the patriarch of the Fox People Clan.

Yun Xi was silent for a moment.

Many people in Tianling have a special hobby for the fox people. Looking at their ears and tails can arouse the desire in the body to a certain limit.

In Tianling, there is already a mature industrial chain regarding the sales of orcs, but Yun Xi does not know where this industrial chain comes from. Maybe many families are secretly involved.

Profit is what drives people to take risks and commit crimes, and those who have the greatest need for benefits are not the poor, but those who are already wealthy, especially those from spiritually aristocratic families.

Seeing Yun Xi's sudden silence, Fox Fairy'er immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly said: "Yes, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that!"

Yun Xi came back to her senses and shook his head at her: "What's wrong with this? This place is indeed dangerous for the orcs. Even the Tianling Alliance... is not all good people."

She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows slightly: "I can be very bad sometimes."

When Fox Fairy'er heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What bad things can Lord Yunxi do?"

Yun Xi thought for a while: "Does killing count?"

"If you kill someone to save someone, and the person you kill is someone who has done many evil things, then it shouldn't count."

"Well..."

Yun Xi pondered for a moment: "Anyway, he is no longer a good person!"

Good people are so tired...

She doesn’t want others to fix her personality.

After the short conversation ended, the two came to the river bank.

Many vendors push a wooden cart and park it on the street beside the river. There are tall wooden shelves on both sides of the wooden cart. On the top are two small lamps that are neither bright nor dark, and many different styles of lamps are hung in the middle.

masks, and the surface of the wooden cart is divided into several layers, with river lanterns of different colors on display.

When Yun Xi and Fox Fairy'er came here, many vendors looked over and said, "Fairy Yun, do you want to buy river lanterns? Look at what I have here, they are all handmade by myself, the styles are very exquisite!"
"The same goes for the ones I have here. These candles are all carefully carved!"

They rushed to introduce it first, hoping that Yun Xi could go to buy one from them.

Yun Xi smiled at them, then turned to ask Fox Fairy'er: "You came here to buy, which one do you want to buy?"

Fox Fairy looked around and asked, "There are quite a few of us, why not buy one for each family?"

Yun Xi glanced at her twice, then nodded: "That's fine."

Hu Xian'er walked through these vendors one by one and carefully selected a nice-looking river lantern from each stall. It was her first time to use Lingyuan, but she had no cognitive impairment.

Just thinking that all Yun Xi's money was spent was a little uncomfortable. She did have a lot of beast carvings that could be returned to her, but Yun Xi didn't go to the Sky Beast Continent, and compared with Tian Ling's Tian Ling coins

...The beast carvings of the heavenly beasts feel like they are not even a little bit inferior...

Then think about whether there is anything you can use to repay.

When she walked to the last hawker cart, Fox Fairy suddenly paused and her eyes fell on the masks on the cart frame. These masks were more diverse than the river lanterns on the stage, including foxes, rabbits, and monkeys.

, Goat... looks a little childish, but it can also be called cute.

She has never worn such a mask.

"You're all here, let's buy some masks too. Maybe you'll want to try them on then."

Yun Xi's voice suddenly came to mind, and Fox Fairy'er, who was looking at these masks, trembled. She turned her head to look at Yun Xi, a faint blush appeared on her face, feeling shy and embarrassed that her little secret had been spied on.
"Then, let's get some more masks."

She said softly.

This river lantern vendor has never seen a fox girl before, not to mention a beastman. She just watched the fox fairy walking all the way. She wouldn't have lost her mind because of her beauty, but the fox fairy suddenly became shy.

But she couldn't open her eyes for a while. It wasn't until Hu Xian'er asked doubtfully for the second time that he quickly came to his senses.

"Okay, okay! Just take your pick and get a 50% discount today!"

He was beaming with smiles, excited and proud, which made other vendors around him feel envious and jealous.

Fox Fairy looked at these masks carefully and carefully selected several of them. The vendor seemed to want to act like a gentleman, but his eyes couldn't help but move towards Fox Fairy and Yun Xi.

Yun Xi noticed it and couldn't help but smile lightly, but she didn't criticize anything. It's normal for people to like beauty. It doesn't matter if they look at it more. It would be a problem if they don't look at it.

Suddenly, Yun Xi thought of something and asked: "Brother, do you have a smaller mask?"

"A smaller one?"

The hawker stooped low, took out several masks worn by children from under the car, and asked: "Is this okay?"

Yun Xi shook her head: "It's still too big, forget it, I'll change it myself."

She directly reached for a fox mask, and the spiritual light flowed in her hand, surrounding the mask. Then the vendor and the surrounding pedestrians saw that the mask was gradually getting smaller under Yun Xi's control, and in the end it was no bigger than a palm.<

/p>

Fox Fairy'er looked at the mini mask in Yun Xi's hand in surprise, opened her mouth and asked: "Is this... for the young patriarch?"

Yun Xi smiled and said brightly: "How is it? It's appropriate!"

Hu Xian'er chuckled lightly, and then said with a slight worry: "I'm afraid the young patriarch won't wear it."

Yun Xi said: "If she knows how to wear it, she can wear it. If she is afraid of getting dirty, there is no problem if I use it as a cleaner."

She tossed the mask upwards a few times and held it in her hand, thinking about how Bai Qing would look when she put on the mask. She would smile happily and be so beautiful that it would make people yearn for it.

After buying the masks and river lanterns, Hu Xian'er and Yun Xi each held a bunch of them and returned to Bai Qing and the others.

At this time, You Tingjing, who was wearing a thin black gauze skirt, was gently stroking Bai Qing's hair as white as snow, and Yun Xi heard the former asking questions.

"Little fox~ The other ten beasts have turned into human forms, why do you still keep the appearance of foxes~ Could it be that you snow foxes are naturally lustful and like to get into people's arms~"

"You're so sexy for your size! I'm not interested in your breasts. I just don't want to consume more!"

The ten major heavenly beasts and other heavenly beasts are not huge, nor are they much smaller. Regardless of whether the streets of Tianling can bear such a huge body, even if they can bear it, for these heavenly beasts themselves,

The energy required to act on the body will also be greater than in the transformed state.

Therefore, there is no need to maintain the identity.

The only exception is the Snow Fox clan. The Snow Fox body is petite. If it transforms, it will not only not save its own consumption, but will also increase it.

And they still have to walk after they transform. Their holy little feet are not meant for stepping on dirty floors.

Bai Qing twisted in You Tingjing's arms: "If you don't want to serve me, the young patriarch, then just stay aside. There are many people who want to serve me!"

You Tingjing's foxy eyes filled with deep autumn waves slowly turned, and then she directly grabbed Bai Qing Destiny's neck and threw it directly towards Yun Xi.

"Little Yunxi is here~ Let her serve you~"

Bai Qing, who was thrown out, immediately turned his head and glared at You Tingjing. Then he stepped nimbly in the air with his small body. When he saw Yun Xi holding the river lantern and the mask in his arms, he turned around decisively and jumped to the side.

On the shoulders of Ying Nian Ling, who was quietly eating potato chips.

Suddenly a little fox fell on her shoulder. Ying Nianling was not panicked or excited. She just turned her head calmly, raised the bag of potato chips in her hand, and asked: "Bai Qing, do you want some potato chips?"
p>

Bai Qing stretched her little head and glanced into the packaging bag with her round eyes.

This ugly looking thing...is it really edible?

"No, just eat it yourself."

For this kind of food that was hard to tell whether it was dry or not, Bai Qing refused to taste it without thinking.

"Oh."

Ying Nianling didn't ask, she just took the potato chips and continued chewing them, crushing the potato chips with her teeth and making a crisp sound.

The sound reached Bai Qing's ears, and she couldn't help turning her head to look. Ying Nianling ignored it, her eyes fell on the river, and her little hands reached into the bag from time to time to take out one or two potato chips, eating them with gusto.

.

"Gulu..."

The little fox swallowed his throat and asked tentatively: "Is this delicious?"

"It's delicious, do you want to try it?"

Bai Qing's sky-blue eyes kept moving, looking at the few potato chips left in the packaging bag for a while, then closing his eyes and imagining how unhygienic such things were.

But...if it was really unhygienic, no one would eat it, right?

No one would eat dirty food just because it tastes good, right?

Thinking like this, Bai Qing seemed to have made up his mind.

"Bai Qing, I bought the river lantern. I also brought you a small gift."

Yun Xi came from the front, and the sound attracted its attention. It finally decided not to eat the potato chips, no matter how delicious it was, if there was a possibility of tarnishing its holy body and soul, it would

I will never accept it!

"What gift?"

Bai Qing, who decided not to eat potato chips, was a little bored. She sat on Ying Nianling's shoulder with her eyes a little dull, and her snow-white tail hung weakly.

But when it saw the kitten mask on Yun Xi's head, it showed a hint of disdain: "What kind of look do you have?"

Yun Xi gave the river lantern in his hand to Niu Wenhua, Niu Dabao and others, then pointed to the mask hanging on his head and said with a smile: "Mask, do you want to wear it for fun?"

"Chi!"

Bai Qing sneered and said, "Can the mask be as good-looking as the original face of this young patriarch?"

Yun Xi bowed slightly and leaned over to take a closer look: "Well... you have such a fox face..."

Bai Qing raised her head proudly, not showing any concern at all about Yun Xi's possible disapproval.

Confidence has always been a characteristic of the Snow Fox tribe.

"It should look good with a mask on."

Bai Qing blinked, then reacted after a moment, and hit Yun Xi on the nose with a fox fist.

"This fox looks best without a mask!"
