Chapter 1332

Ning Chen walked ahead with Gu Yanqi, while Lin Yi, Huo Jinglin, Xu Chenchen, and Little Yunyao followed behind.

Ning Chen glanced at the lantern in Gu Yanqi's hand, waved his hand, and the lantern grew brighter and began to emit a mist.

The entire temple fair was very lively, with all kinds of vendors on both sides selling things completely different from those during the day, and every stall was exquisitely arranged.

And the Misses on the street were several times more than usual, each of their faces radiating a smile.

The few of them walking on the street completely drew the attention of the surroundings, and together with Little Yunyao and Gu Yanqi's exquisitely beautiful lanterns, they instantly became the focus of the entire street; almost wherever they went, people would look over.

Suddenly, a few Misses blocked their way, and the Misses exchanged glances.

To be honest, they had originally wanted to strike up a conversation with the cool, aloof man in front of them, but upon getting closer, they discovered that this man's entire being radiated a coldness that warned strangers to stay away, making it impossible for anyone to approach him.

So the Misses turned their attention to Gu Yanqi: "Um, Miss, we'd like to ask, where did you buy this lantern?"

Gu Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this lantern was made for me by my husband."

The Misses looked at Ning Chen in disbelief, then back at Gu Yanqi: "Ah? Miss, are you two married?"

This question left Gu Yanqi at a loss; her face turned red, and she didn't know what to answer.

And Ning Chen, on the other hand, openly put his arm around Gu Yanqi's shoulder and answered the few people's question: "Mm."

"Ah, you two have such a wonderful relationship, you really are a perfect match, may you two be happily wed for a hundred years."

After giving the two their blessings, the Misses retreated.

Gu Yanqi felt sweet inside; she hooked her arm around Ning Chen's, and her entire being sank into a whirlpool of sweetness.

Afterwards, quite a few more people came up to chat with them, their purpose basically being to ask where Gu Yanqi's lantern was bought.

Some people, upon hearing it was made by Ning Chen, retreated, while some Misses insisted on asking Ning Chen whether he would still make such lanterns.

Anyone with eyes could see what these Misses were thinking.

So, during the rest of their walk, Ning Chen directly emanated a cold aura, and whenever he saw someone wanting to approach, he would look at them coldly.

The crowd was frightened by Ning Chen's cold demeanor, and during the rest of the journey, surprisingly, no one actually came forward.

The few of them arrived at the center of the temple fair; there was a very large plaza here, with all kinds of activities inside.

The few of them went over to join the fun, and saw a stage where there were all Misses; those Misses held a lantern in one hand, and a long strip of cloth tied around the wrist of the other hand.

That cloth was not tied tightly; it would fall off with a single tug, but it also ensured it wouldn't fall off on its own during sudden movements.

The Misses on stage were tugging at the cloth on each other's wrists.

After watching for a while, Ning Chen roughly understood what it meant; the general idea of this game should be: pulling off the cloth counts as a win, the winner obtains the opponent's lantern, and if the opponent has many lanterns in hand, the winner can also obtain all the lanterns in the opponent's hand, while those without lanterns are eliminated.

There were still ten minutes until the end, and there were seven or eight people on stage; from time to time, people would go up on stage to compete.

The final winner would receive a hairpin.

The person hosting this event could be said to have spent lavishly; this hairpin was clearly a fine item at first glance.

Ning Chen looked at that hairpin; the hairpin glowed all over, and also emitted a faint immortal aura and a pale pink glow, clearly an immortal item.

Gu Yanqi looked at the stage; to be honest, she quite wanted to participate, mainly because she really did like that hairpin.

But she didn't want to go up; she was afraid the lantern in her hand would be crushed, because this lantern was after all made by Ning Chen, and she truly couldn't bear to part with it.

Ning Chen saw through Gu Yanqi's hesitation; he patted her shoulder: "Go participate, this is a good opportunity, there will be more lanterns, I can make many for you."

With Ning Chen's encouragement, Gu Yanqi took a deep breath, then went up on stage carrying her lantern.

Gu Yanqi's appearance was already very beautiful, and combined with the exquisite lantern in her hand, it not only attracted the gazes of the people below the stage, but also the gazes of everyone on stage.

All the Misses had set their sights on the lantern in Gu Yanqi's hand, because it was truly too beautiful!

Two or three Misses were seen walking toward Gu Yanqi at the same time, reaching out to pull the red cloth on Gu Yanqi's wrist.

Gu Yanqi's entire demeanor made the few of them see her as a delicate Young Lady incapable of even tying up a chicken, so they directly went for the target.

Unfortunately, after going through the trials of the previous world, Gu Yanqi, whether in terms of ability or physical fitness, had improved by far more than a little.

She easily dodged the attacks of the few Misses, and conveniently reached out to pull the red cloth off one of them.

That Miss had five lanterns in her hand; she could only regretfully exit the stage, go down, and watch the situation on stage.

Currently, only five people including Gu Yanqi remained on stage; two of them were tangled with each other, while the other two seemed to have reached a consensus to attack Gu Yanqi together. One of the Misses attacked from the front, and the other from behind, clearly intending a pincer attack.

Gu Yanqi naturally wouldn't let them succeed; she bent backward, dodging the attack from the person in front, and the hands of the two attacking Gu Yanqi were both outstretched, so the two of them bumped into each other and, caught off guard, both fell.

Gu Yanqi effortlessly came to the two of them and took off both of their red cloths.

The crowd present hadn't expected this development, and they instantly burst into fervent cheers.

Currently, Gu Yanqi had unexpectedly become the owner of the most lanterns.

On the other side, those two had also decided the victor.

It's just that these two looked extremely disheveled, as if they had gone through a fierce battle, and the lanterns in their hands were also badly damaged.

Currently speaking, there were still two minutes left; once the two minutes were up, Gu Yanqi would be the winner of this round.

And that other Miss, perhaps having gone berserk from the fight just now, actually charged straight at Gu Yanqi, and her target was still the lantern in her hand.

Fortunately, Gu Yanqi reacted quickly; she turned and dodged the opponent's attack.

And the opponent truly had set her sights on her lantern, continuously attacking toward the lantern.

Gu Yanqi glanced at the opponent's lantern; the lantern in her hand was already a mess, and she roughly understood the opponent's thoughts—wasn't this just "if I can't have it easy, I won't let others have it easy either"?

Fortunately, the two minutes passed quickly, and the person in charge immediately announced that both sides should stop their standoff, stating that the winner of this round was Gu Yanqi.
