Hu Zhaigong sticks out her tongue, she is a cunning fox, in order to achieve her goal, she will use any means.

"Hey! Is my brother planning to show off his skills in front of his little girlfriend? But be vigilant, the difficulty here is not low, uncle."

The stall owner naturally saw the interaction between Huzhai Palace and Xue Kui who had just left the stage. Although the two of them had the appearance of children next door, it didn't stop him from joking about their relationship.

What's wrong with being young?Many people have already had a good impression of the opposite sex they played with when they were young. Just like him, is his wife now not his childhood sweetheart?

He felt that the young boy and girl in front of him were very promising, and the same rare white hair was a good match at first glance.

"...If I succeed, can I pick a prize other than those dolls?"

After Xue Kui looked at the blunt pointed wooden dart in his hand, he asked in a volume that could only be heard by the shopkeeper.

"Are you already taking your own victory as a prerequisite? I'm really confident. As for the prize, it depends on whether I can afford it, uncle. Let's talk about what you want first. After all, the difficulty is a bit high, and I will try my best to satisfy you. "

After hearing Xue Kui's request, the stall owner was a little surprised.

"Is it just this? It's fine, but you don't plan to give the prize to that girl doll? Girls generally like dolls and things like that, right? The one you want doesn't really please little girls." .”

"It's okay, she's not a child."

As he said that, Xue Kui changed his gestures, clamped the dart between his fingers, pulled his arm back slightly to gather momentum, and then slammed it towards the position of the balloon. The movement of shaking his wrist made the stall owner's eyes shine.

With a soft "bang", the balloon in the middle disappeared instantly, and the blunt dart even sank into the wooden board behind, and the onlookers were all amazed.

"It's amazing, little brother, you should be a trainer, right? Are there any elders in the family who are warriors?"

The stall owner pulled out the dart that had been submerged in the wooden board, and after looking at the marks on the wooden board, he couldn't help asking.

"I did practice a little bit."

Xue Kui nodded with a smile, took the dart from the stall owner's hand, and returned to the crowd.

"For me?"

After Hu Zhai Palace hesitated for a moment, he took the slightly blunt wooden dart from Xue Kui's open palm.

"Well, if you are not interested in those prizes, just take this dart that you used, and treat it as a souvenir of participating in this festival."

"And every time I see it, I have to recall the scene of myself being frustrated in human activities..."

Looking at the dart in his hand, Hu Zhai Gong's tone was a bit complicated, but he held it tightly in the end.

"Forget it, since it's the first time you gave me something, just keep it."

"What's the first time? There's not enough oily tofu for you, right?"

"...Those don't count!"

Next, in this difficult dart throwing booth, people successfully popped the balloons one after another. After all, under the influence of the shadow, Inazuma is a martial country, and there are still many martial arts masters among the people.

But that had nothing to do with Xue Kui anymore, he was just dumbfounded watching Huzhai Palace compete with the little goldfish in the water.

After having trouble with the balloon, the stupid fox started to have trouble with the fish again.

Staring blankly at another splash in the small pool, which symbolized another fish falling into the water, Xue Kui yawned.

This is really a prodigal girl. You must know that it is different from the dart throwing booth before. The paper net in this place needs Mo La.

...I hope the stall owner still has sufficient reserves of paper nets. Xue Kui believes that before his Mora bag passed away, Huzhai Palace must have finished all the paper nets first.

"Aren't foxes supposed to be pretty good at catching fish? Are you really a fox demon?"

Huzhai Palace, who was already on top, was so angry that he almost broke the short stick in his hand after hearing Xue Kui's words.

"You can't use your claws to catch the fish here! How can I catch the net once it enters the water and melts?"

"Don't blame the tool if you can't do it. I've already seen someone catch the fish."

Because it was a festival, most of the merchants who came out to set up stalls also had the mentality of enjoying the festival, so the quality of the paper nets they provided was also high-quality, at least not the type that would melt as soon as it entered the water.

"Ok?"

Xue Kui looked at the golden vertical pupils under the fox mask staring straight at him and let out a light sigh.

"How about you come?"

"...Are you going to come to the festival, or am I going to come to the festival?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Xue Kui's words.

"Right."

Hu Zhai Palace thought for a while, and found that it seemed to be the truth, and let Xue Kui play on his behalf, wouldn't she be equivalent to not participating at all?

Looking at the white-haired fox who was already whimpering after successive failures, Xue Kui sighed softly, walked behind him and squatted down.

"Follow my strength."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and covered the opponent's hand.

Hu Zhaigong's body froze for a moment, then softened immediately.

Xue Kui tilted his head, avoiding the falling head of the opponent, let him lean on his shoulder, looked at the drooping ears of the opponent, felt that the strength in the opponent's hand had dissipated, and nodded secretly.

After all, she is a fox demon who has lived for an unknown number of years, so she can better control her limbs when she is in a relaxed state. This is understandable.

Somewhat surprisingly, before picking up the goldfish, the paper net swiped in the water broke first, and Xue Kui rarely missed it.

"Y-Is that all it is? Still, it's not as good as me!"

Hu Zhaigong turned his head and mocked Xue Kui, but his words were intermittent for some reason.

"Just test the bearing capacity of the paper net first, and get used to how much delay it will take when you give it a hand. At least I don't stupidly soak the paper net in the water like someone did when they fished for the first time. "

Unconvinced, Hu Zhaigong bumped Xue Kui's head with his mask, and Xue Kui pushed back naturally.

"Stop messing around and take a good look."

Stopping the fox's intention to fight back, Xue Kui took the opponent's paw and brought the brand new paper net close to the water surface.

Hu Zhaigong didn't even realize how his arm was moving at high speed, he only saw the paper net flying across the water surface, accompanied by a splash of water, a small goldfish that was at a low altitude fell into the in a small bowl.

Huzhai Palace fell into silence watching this scene.

Stop!This is not fishing for goldfish at all!

This is simply like a bloody scene of ferocious birds preying on fish!

Xue Kui threw down the broken paper net in his hand due to the rapid swiping, and raised his eyebrows proudly at Huzhai Palace.

For an existence like him, how could it be necessary to slowly learn the tricks of catching goldfish like ordinary people, directly find the target, bring it out of the water quickly and accurately, and let it fall into the bowl?

You know, he deliberately tested the quality of the paper net first to see if it could withstand his violent operation.

The result is obviously to give a thumbs up to the conscientious store.

......

"What are you going to do with this fish?"

Xue Kui looked at the thickened water bag containing goldfish in the hands of Huzhai Palace. Because of their great support (Huzhai Palace spent a lot of money before), the stall owner was very enthusiastic to set up several layers of bags for them. .

"Take it home and raise it. You don't know, right? Goldfish in Daozuma have auspicious meanings. Otherwise, why would I choose goldfish fishing as a must-play event? I hope this little guy can bring me good luck."

"...Then your good luck may not last for a few days."

Most of the fish fry used for games are worthless and defective products, and it is very likely that they will die suddenly after taking them back for two days.

And Xue Kui made this evaluation because he is extremely sensitive to vitality, and he perceives that the vitality of the goldfish in the pool is relatively weak.

Although the one he fished out had relatively more vitality, it was just that.

"Hmm... There's nothing I can do. Let's put it in the pool of the shrine and see what's going on. At worst, use demon power to warm it up, and see if my good luck can last for a while."

Hu Zhai Palace's tone was very free and easy, but Xue Kui knew that she was somewhat concerned.

"Give me the fish."

"what are you going to do?"

When inquiring, Huzhai Palace had already handed the water bag to Xue Kui.

The green fluorescent light was on, and Hu Zhai Palace felt the vitality blooming in the opponent's hand, and his eyes widened.

"Here, I'll give it back to you. I've worked hard. Due to its congenital defects, it is destined not to live as long as a fairy or a demon...but at least it can live a little longer."

"......thanks."

Feeling the coolness from the water bag, after a moment of silence, Hu Zhai Palace subconsciously squeezed out a word of thanks.

"Ah? What did you say?"

Looking at the ears of Butterfly that came closer, Hu Zhaigong knew that the other party must have heard what he said, and angrily punched the other party's chest.

A faint "swoosh" caught the attention of the two of them, and after raising their heads, they were greeted by a gorgeous sky.

13. The prank that finally worked

"It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing called fireworks. Although the firecrackers in my hometown are loud, they don't have such beautiful fireworks."

Just as Xue Kui was admiring the first fireworks display in his life, a slightly cool soft thing was stuffed into his hand.

"This is the first time for me to watch fireworks with others. I used to sneak up to the top of the cliff at the end of the festival and watch from afar."

Feeling the loneliness revealed in the words of Huzhai Palace, Xue Kui silently withdrew his gaze.

Human creations rendered the sky far away from them into the colors they wanted. The colorful skylight lasted for a long time, and finally the brilliance of the sky gradually diluted until it fell into silence.

"small butterfly."

"Huh? Why did the address become so polite this time?"

There was nothing to see in the pitch-black sky. Xue Kui looked at Hu Zhai Palace, who was abnormal. The gentle tone of the other party made him wonder if there was something wrong with her head.

The grand spectacle of fireworks was the last activity of the festival, and the free hand of Huzhai Palace was slowly touching the mask on his face, which was no longer necessary.

"In the future, will we have a chance to come to the festival together like this?"

While talking in Huzhai Palace, accompanied by several "咻" sounds one after another, the fireworks show, which was thought to be over, sang its last chapter.

The white hair was disturbed by the string of the mask tied to the back of the head. Huzhai Palace lifted up the mask while shaking his head slightly. The dancing white hair changed colors under the reflection of the sky, like a group of brilliant lights on the ground. Like fireworks.

The fireworks that reoccupied the night sky were very splendid. The curtain call that finally announced the end was a scene that further sublimated the fireworks event. It should not be missed, but neither Xue Kui nor Xuekui appreciated this scene. They were just looking at each other in the dark changing face.

Fireworks are beautiful, but friends are more important.

"Of course. Although I will return to Liyue soon, we are not a short-lived race. We will have many opportunities to play together in the future, right?"

Hu Zhai Palace was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"That's right, maybe I'm already looking forward to the next time, that's why I asked this question."

The sky fell into darkness again, and the change in light and darkness made Hu Zhai Palace seem to remember something, and he hurriedly took Xue Kui's hand and walked against the flow of people returning home.

"What's the matter? Are you still not going back?"

"Didn't I say it? The most important thing in the festival is the beginning and the end. Now of course it's time to do the most important thing!"

Xue Kui, who was being pulled to run, tilted his head slightly.

Didn't the grand fireworks just now bring a perfect end to the festival in this fox's mind?Unlike its casual approach to fried tofu dipping, this fox is surprisingly picky in other aspects.

"Huh... Fortunately, I caught up."

People who set up stalls had already started to close their stalls when the fireworks took off. Some even packed up their things before the fireworks were set off, preparing to go home immediately after enjoying the fireworks. After all, no matter how grand the event was, it could not affect them. After the normal work the next day, it’s time to take a good rest.

At this time, the stalls that were still on the street became very conspicuous. Xue Kui looked at the stall that was still lit, and found that there were many masks related to mountain spirits hanging on it.

"Oh! Little girl, you're finally here. If it's any slower, I'll pack up and go back."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The fireworks are so beautiful that I couldn't help but look at them twice, and I was blocked by people going home on the way here."

Hearing the conversation between Huzhai Palace and the stall owner, Xue Kui realized that the two had already passed their breath.

"It's understandable that I get too carried away with my little boyfriend."

I don't know why, but the stall owner, who was a bit complaining, saw Xuekui's unhappiness disappear in an instant, and instead showed a smiling face.

"Here, this is something you customized. If I guess correctly, it should be given to your little boyfriend, right? Forget it, I don't care about that much, the thing has already been given to you, I should just go home .”

He took an object from the stall and handed it to Huzhai Palace. The stall owner packed up his things and left the place in a hurry.

"For me?"

Xue Kui was taken aback for a moment, and then took a mask of a very different style from Huzhai Palace.
