deadly mantra

Chapter 23 Another girl captured by him
Ji Fanyin glanced at him from the corner of her eye and sighed pretending to be embarrassed:
"Oh...me, I don't have any merits except loyalty. I don't like to owe anyone favors. Well, anyway, I have nothing to do now. For the sake of this dress, I will I'll reluctantly help you, and we'll find someone together."

Shui Qingchen couldn't help laughing and didn't want to expose her:

"I still don't know what the girl's name is."

Ji Fanyin raised her chin and spoke brightly:
"Ji Fanyin. My name is Ji Fanyin. You can call me Fanyin, or Fanfan, Yinyin? Whatever you like, I like to hear whatever you call me."

Shui Qingchen had doubts in his heart:
"Ji...Sanskrit music?"

"Yeah!" She nodded vigorously happily, and she looked at him expectantly.

Shui Qingchen raised his hand, put it on her head, and gently rubbed her wet hair:
"From now on, I'll call you Xiaoyin, okay?"

"Xiaoyin?" Ji Fanyin met his big hand, enjoyed his touch, and nodded: "Okay."

This year's lantern array is unique and set in the middle of the huge Lotus Lake.

On the shore of the lake, it was noisy and crowded, and the atmosphere was high.

When Ji Fanyin and Shui Qingchen came over, the overtime match was at its most intense.

Everyone worked hard to cheer for the challengers.

Ji Fanyin stood outside the crowd, jumping up and down like a rabbit, stretching his neck and looking inside.

The dark head completely blocked her sight.

Just as she was distressed, her waist tightened, and she turned around in surprise.

Shui Qingchen's powerful iron arms held her in his arms, his hot palms clasped around her waist, and his tall body, like a mountain or a tree, protected her in a safe area.

"follow me."

With luck all around him, he walked through the crowd gently and deftly, leading her to stand at the front.

Shui Qingchen bought three huge lotus pods, took Ji Fanyin's hand, walked to the lake, helped her get on the boat, and whispered:

"I'll be back after you finish eating these."

"Okay!" Ji Fanyin nodded happily.

Shui Qingchen took out the broken silver, handed it to the boatman, turned around and walked towards the pontoon.

Ji Fanyin followed Shui Qingchen's back with his eyes, waved his hand and urged:

"Boat, boatman, hurry up and follow my husband. If you lose it, you have to compensate me."

The boatman was in his early 40s, with dark skin, and he smiled and scratched his head:

"Little girl, aren't you trying to make things difficult for me? Your little husband-in-law looks... looks..."

After hesitating for a long time, I finally came up with a word.

"I can't afford to pay for being as beautiful as a god, I can't afford to pay..."

Ji Fanyin glanced at Hengbanajia's coquettish person and felt secretly happy:

"Humph, it's good if you know. Follow me quickly. That's right, squeeze to the front, the front."

Shui Qingchen walked onto the arena covered with red carpet and took a piece of red silk from the attendant.

On the silk and satin, a lifelike white lotus is embroidered. The skillful embroiderer used light green thread to embroider the words "110 四", just like the rhizome of the white lotus.

He is the 114th challenger tonight.

14.

It's his favorite number.

Shui Qingchen tied the red silk around his wrists and was not in a hurry to catch up with the contestants in front of him. Instead, he turned around and looked down the ring.

on the lake.

The lotus leaves are swaying, the night wind is blowing, and the water vapor is filling the air.

Some literati went boating to enjoy the flowers while paying attention to the battle situation on the stage.I don’t have any hope for the newcomers. After all, someone is already winning, and only the last hurdle is left.

Li Mubai is the first challenger tonight.

At this moment, he was standing under the dragon lantern. His noble red-gold clothes and the golden crown set with precious rubies on his head were very eye-catching.

But what's more eye-catching is his appearance.

A pair of phoenix eyes full of confidence and pride, pointed upwards with determination.The angular facial features are of the arrogant and beautiful type.

He has long been accustomed to the enthusiastic pursuit and admiring looks of the onlookers.

At this time, a sweet shout sounded from the audience.

"come on, come on, come on--"

Oh, another girl captured by him.

Li Mubai had a smile on his lips and just looked over symbolically.

With a glance, I was taken aback.

A pretty girl in green clothes sat on the boat, with a pair of bright smiling eyes shining into his heart like the vibrant sun.Ji Fanyin excitedly waved the lotus pods in her hands and shouted loudly:

"Come on! Come on Chenchen!"

The surprise that had just appeared in Li Mubai's eyes suddenly faltered, his smile disappeared, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Ji Fanyin continued to shout:
"Chenchen, I'm here! Have you seen me?"

A smile spread gently from Shui Qingchen's lips, and he nodded with a smile.

I saw it.

How could I not see it?

She was so dazzling that when he was blind, he felt as warm as sunshine.

Ji Fanyin sat on the armchair very leisurely. She stretched out her delicate hand and handed a white and clean lotus seed to the palm of her hand. She stuffed it into her mouth. The fragrance was lingering in her teeth and she was savoring the taste.

The boatman sat on a small bench on one side, lowered his head, and peeled off the lotus pods in the familiar way.

Shui Qingchen shook his head helplessly.

Little bully, little bully.

He is indeed the little bully.

I originally thought that I would let her peel the lotus pods by herself to pass the time, in case she was free and ran around.

Now it seems that he has to hurry up.

Shui Qingchen gathered his thoughts and walked to the lantern array. At a glance, he could clearly read several rules written in black on red paper.

The arena is divided into ten columns and ten rows according to the difficulty of the lantern riddles.

Each lantern has a word puzzle hanging on it. If you answer it correctly, you can enter the next level.

Shui Qingchen walked into a row at random.

The first line, the riddle that was picked - the two trees are not the forest, but there is a heart under the field.

Shui Qingchen's long eyelashes trembled slightly, a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes, he lifted up his sleeves and wrote thoughtfully:
"Acacia."

Moving to the second line - Boya looks at his close friend, the sound of the piano is lingering.

Shui Qingchen hesitated for a moment and started writing:

"love at first sight."

The third line - the heart is broken because of the lingering love. When can the two meet again? The Cowherd enters the Weaver Girl Temple, and his words are steady and his sword is facing each other. He hopes that from now on, the hearts will be connected, and the lovers will occasionally cling to each other. (Tip: type six characters)

Shui Qingchen pressed his twitching brow with his fingertips, feeling a chill running down his back.

Such a sour riddle must have been written intentionally by some pregnant girl.

No wonder so many talented people were defeated by this small piece of paper.

Shui Qingchen wanted to write, but really... couldn't.

Just give up.

Thinking this, he hissed softly.

At this time, someone shouted cheers from behind.

"Come on~Come on~Come on Chenchen~Hey yo~ Hey yo~Tianlian lantern yo~Tianlian lantern~"

Shui Qingchen gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, waved his big hand on the paper, and wrote the answer to the riddle:

"I miss you so much today!"

"Wow - Chenchen is great! It's the fourth level so soon, Mighty - come on!"

Someone's voice came up again.

Shui Qingchen pressed his fingertips between his eyebrows and suddenly felt a headache.

Ji Fanyin did not notice Shui Qingchen's "embarrassment".

She only saw that every time he passed a level, he wrote the answer to the riddle without even thinking about it for a moment.

She turned her head, looked at the boatman, and hummed proudly:
"Did you see it~ It's amazing~ Ha, that's my husband, my husband, hum~"

After going through the first three levels of trials, Shui Qingchen had already figured out the question maker's train of thought. After the next seven levels, he glanced at it, lowered his head and waved his hand, and walked out of ten columns and ten rows.

His speed of breaking through the level in the blink of an eye shocked the onlookers.

The next moment, everyone came back to their senses, shouting with ecstasy, and the applause was deafening.

Li Mubai frowned, hostility quietly floating in his eyes.

In the overtime zone, the atmosphere suddenly became very delicate.

　Recommendation votes, recommendation votes~ I’m asking for recommendation votes~
