Chapter 24 Beauty Too Close to the Body
Liu Bansian: ...
The little girl had only been there a short while, but he had already mastered the art of being speechless.
Wei Wenlong and Di Chong sat down in front of Zhai Rongyu's stall.
The two of them eagerly pulled up their sleeves and simultaneously laid their palms out in front of Zhai Rongyu.
He smiled with an air of arrogance.
"Miss Zhai, could you please take a look at our peach blossoms?"
Zhai Rongyu smiled and said, "Of course."
“But…” she pointed to the banner beside her, “that counts as one today.”
Her eyebrows curved, and her eyes held a hint of cunning. When she smiled, she shone even brighter than the rising sun.
Di Chong was stunned.
My heart was pounding like a drum.
Wei Wenlong seized the opportunity, nudged Di Chong's arm to the side, and said, "It's on me, it's on me!"
Zhai Rong glanced at Wei Wenlong with great interest.
Judging from the aura between his brows, there seemed to be three points surrounding a river, the middle one solid and the other two hollow, giving him an appearance of strong but shallow strength.
It seems I have quite a connection with water today!
"Why should I?! I sat down first!"
Di Chong snapped out of his daze and said angrily.
The two men pushed and shoved each other's arms on the stall, arguing for a while.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two young brothers," Liu Banxian said, fanning himself and seizing the opportunity, "why not come and have one of you here?"
"I'm a disciple of Baiyun Temple, and my divination skills are far more accurate than this little girl's!"
Neither of them paid him any attention.
Liu Banxian angrily shook his goose feather fan, his rat-like eyes turning into triangular ones.
Wei Yunlong tugged at Di Chong and whispered, "Brother Di, why should we fight over her? Why don't we just go together and get her..."
Di Chong glanced at Zhai Rongyu.
She was reaching out to adjust the banner, her slender, pale fingertips brushing against its surface...
A slight, tingling itch suddenly rose in his heart.
After exchanging glances with Wei Wenlong, the two got up and were about to walk around the table when they saw Zhai Rongyu take out a meteor hammer from his bag without changing his expression, casually weigh it in his hand, and put it at his feet.
Then he pulled out another one.
The two meteor hammers were placed side by side, their size resembling that of two people's heads.
Wei Wenlong: ...
Di Chong: ...
Fortunately, we walked slowly.
The two obediently returned to their seats and sat down.
He even neatly placed his hands, one on top of the other, on the table.
They are two model students.
Liu Banxian was utterly astonished.
He wasn't mistaken, was he? That's a meteor hammer made of black iron, isn't it?
"May I touch it?"
Zhai Rongyu let out a muffled groan from his nose, indicating that he meant what Zhai Rongyu meant.
Liu Banxian got up to grasp the hammer handle, only to find that he couldn't move it at all.
He shouted!
Ah-ha!
Then he fell flat on his backside.
Seeing this, Zhai Rongyu asked, "Is it that heavy?"
She picked up the two meteor hammers, tossed them into the air to exchange them, and then casually placed them on the ground.
It's obviously very light.
This Liu the fortune teller really knows how to exaggerate.
Wei Wenlong: ...
Di Chong: ...
The two of them kept their feet together obediently under the table, and their backs straightened unconsciously.
Zhai Rongyu smiled again and asked, "Have you decided who to count now?"
Wei Wenlong: "Him!"
Di Chong: "Him!"
Both fingers were pointing at each other.
Wei Yunlong spoke first: "Since Miss Zhai is only counted as one person, let's leave this good fortune to Brother Di!"
After saying that, he ran to Liu Banxian's stall and sat down, saying, "I'll do my fortune telling here."
Di Chong: ...
Thank you, you kind soul who deserves to be struck by lightning.
Across the street in a teahouse, a lone figure leaned against the window, witnessing everything that had just happened.
He gasped, exclaiming again, "This Miss Zhai is truly amazing..."
Jun Ce, sitting slightly in front of him, twitched his ears.
His gaze drifted casually to the window.
Just then, Zhai Rongyu pulled a man's hand and stared intently at his palm.
Then he looked up and smiled at the person.
The man seemed somewhat agitated, his hands trembling slightly.
Jun Ce's eyes narrowed, and he withdrew his gaze. His indifferent voice was as cold as frost: "I told you to close the window, but you've started watching the show."
The figure quickly closed the window.
The man sitting opposite Jun Ce laughed and said, "Why are you so fierce today?"
Even in the heat of July or August, the man was wrapped in a snow-white fox fur coat, his full head of silver hair making his skin appear even whiter, like a peerless piece of jade. As one approached, one could smell a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from him.
Seeing that Jun Ce did not answer, Xue Qingchuan laughed and teased, "You're wrong, you're always fierce."
"Let's get down to business." Jun Ce glanced at him indifferently.
Xue Qingchuan smiled faintly and said:
"I've seen that cough remedy, and it's truly ingenious. The combination of some of the herbs is something I've never heard of before, yet its efficacy is unexpectedly good, which has thrilled the old men in Medicine King Valley."
He leaned forward slightly, a few strands of silver hair falling to his front. "Who on earth wrote this prescription?"
Jun Ce turned his gaze to the tightly closed window.
"A girl."
"Miss?" Xue Qingchuan perked up, looking at Jun Ce with some surprise. "When did you meet you, Miss?"
The probing gaze turned to the lone figure.
The figure lowered his head and carefully wiped his sword with the hem of his robe.
Jun Ce: "How does her medical skill compare to yours?"
Xue Qingchuan shook his head: "A single cough remedy isn't enough to determine its effectiveness. Perhaps you could introduce me to this young lady?"
……
Di Chong's face flushed red as he stared at his left hand, which was being held by Zhai Rongyu, and stammered, "Have you...have you seen enough?"
If we don't keep a close eye on him, his hand will break...
"Why are you shaking?" Zhai Rongyu slapped his palm, and tears welled up in Di Chong's eyes.
Uh...
The Master was right...
Beautiful women should not be approached, for getting too close to them can be harmful!
Zhai Rong straightened Di Chong's hand, and Di Chong's eyes welled up with even more tears.
...I feel so helpless.
He looked at the stall next door through teary eyes.
Liu Banxian poured out a few copper coins from the tortoise shell, pondered for a while, and then said to Wei Wenlong, "Young master, this is the Li hexagram! Li represents fire. You may be in danger of a fire within an hour. You must be careful."
Di Chong: Look how professional they are... they've even specified an hour!
I'm tired of saying envious things...
"What? Envious?" Zhai Rongyu released Di Chong's hand.
"No, no, no, no..." Di Chong quickly withdrew his hand, shaking his head vigorously, "How could I dare to question Miss Zhai's abilities..."
Then, she cautiously asked, "What did Miss Zhai see?"
He spends all his time with Wei Wenlong, could he also get caught in a fire?
"Everything is going wrong; be careful not to fall into a trap."
pit?
Di Chong turned around and looked at the flat street.
Then he looked at Zhai Rongyu.
I think you're the biggest pitfall...
He said with a bitter face, "Miss Zhai, are you implying something?"
If this "pitfall" refers to someone trying to harm him or setting a trap for him, then perhaps it would be plausible.
"No, it's literally a physical pit."
Di Chong: ...Luckily it's free.
The sun gradually rose higher.
In the distance, several children were chasing each other playing with firecrackers, sending sparks flying from the ground.
Liu Banxian's rat-like eyes darted around, and he laughed, "Gentlemen, why don't you wait here for an hour? If my calculations are accurate, I won't charge you."
Wei Wenlong scoffed, "Do you think I need your little bit of money?"
As he said that, he was about to leave.
Liu Banxian smiled awkwardly, his hands behind his back, fiddling with something.
Di Chong tugged at Wei Wenlong's sleeve and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Why don't we have a bowl of tofu soup here?"
He pointed to the tofu pudding stall next to him.
Then he turned to Zhai Rongyu and said, "Second Miss Zhai, what should we do if your calculations are inaccurate?"
Zhai Rongyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do as you please."
Upon hearing this answer, Wei Wenlong and Di Chong's previously dormant thieving spirit was instantly rekindled.
