Chapter 128 Young Master Ji, please make a sacrifice.
The group arrived at the Sansheng Bridge, where the riverbank was already crowded with people. The players from the Creek Inn were also brought here by the innkeeper.
Chen Jiangqiao walked towards Jiang Lin and the other two with a stern face. He looked at Jiang Lin, then at Ji Xingyi, and said sarcastically, "Have you two eaten and drunk your fill?"
"Is that even a question?" Wang Zhe patted his belly. "Lard-baked flatbread is definitely the most fragrant! What do you think about me stealing the recipe and opening a shop back home? Would that work?"
Chen Jiangqiao: "..."
Just then, several flower-decorated pleasure boats rowed across the Qingxi River under the Sansheng Bridge.
Wang Zhe pushed Chen Jiangqiao aside and squeezed into the crowd on the shore to watch the excitement.
Chen Jiangqiao stumbled, and before he could get angry, he was also drawn to the sightseeing boat.
On each cruise ship stood a beautiful dancer dressed in a gorgeous gauze dress and adorned with jewels. With smiling eyes and graceful movements, they displayed their exquisite fans to the people on both banks.
"So beautiful!" Wang Zhe stared intently, not at the dancing girls, but at the fans in their hands.
The sun is shining brightly today, casting its rays down.
The fan in the dancer's hand was made of some kind of yarn, and it seemed to reflect a strange light like jade. The picture of the beauty on the fan was even more lifelike.
Like a fairy from a painting in Liaozhai, she stepped out from behind her fan and danced gracefully in Wang Zhe's eyes.
An invisible force rippled outwards like waves on water.
Not only Wang Zhe, but everyone on the shore felt the same way. At first glance, they would be attracted by the dancers holding fans, but once their eyes fell on the beautiful fans in their hands, their eyes seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible hand.
"A beauty fan? It really is a beauty fan!" Chen Jiangqiao couldn't help but follow the beauty fan in the dancer's hand.
"Something's wrong!" Jin Kang's eyes turned bloodshot, and within seconds he was covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth and let out a deafening roar, finally breaking free from the deadly soul attraction.
Zhou Jue, who was also resisting the beauty fan with willpower, was suddenly awakened by Jingkang's loud shout and became the second player to regain consciousness. Zhou Jue immediately shook Chi Xuan and his two other teammates awake.
Jin Kang, on the other hand, was brutal and simple, kicking Yang Yizhou in the calf. Su Yuning heard Yang Yizhou's scream and broke free from the control of the beauty fan.
Zhou Jue walked towards Jiang Lin and the others, and woke up Chen Jiangqiao first. Chen Jiangqiao was bent over and panting heavily: "Thanks."
Then, Zhou Jue walked towards Jiang Lin, just as he was about to wake the two of them, when he saw Ji Xingyi suddenly wrap his arm around Jiang Lin's arm and look at him sharply. Then Zhou Jue heard the young man's gentle voice.
Jiang Lin: "Thank you, we're fine."
Zhou Jue looked surprised. He saw that the two were staring intently at the dancer and thought they were also under mind control. He didn't expect that the two were not being controlled at all.
Zhou Jue nodded, his gaze sweeping over the large, seemingly simple-minded man who had been overlooked: "Then what about him..."
Jiang Lin glanced at Wang Zhe, who was practically drooling, and smiled, "It's alright, isn't he quite happy?"
Zhou Jue: "..."
Just then, Jin Lushan, the mayor of Qingxi Town who had been missing all night, walked onto the Three Lives Stone Bridge under the protection of his servants:
"Welcome, distinguished guests, from afar! The ladies on the passing boats are now showcasing thirty-six of the most exquisite 'beauty fans' from our Qingxi Town's collection of over a hundred pieces spanning the past century!"
"As the mayor of Qingxi Town, I hereby declare the annual Fan Beauty Contest officially open!"
"Anyone under the age of twenty-five!"
"Unmarried!"
"Whether you are a resident of Qingxi Town or a distinguished guest from afar," Jin Lushan said, looking especially at the 16 players participating in the instance: "You are all welcome to sign up!"
"Mayor, what are the benefits of making a fan-shaped beauty?" a tourist from out of town asked loudly.
"That's right! Is there any reward?"
"Everyone, please be patient!" Jin Lushan waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down: "The beauty chosen in the end will become the next year's Fan Beauty of Qingxi Town!"
"The most outstanding painter in our town will paint her likeness on a fan, and in return, 30% of the profits from each new fan produced every month will be paid to the fan-painting artist!"
"Approximately 50,000 taels of gold per month! There's no upper limit!"
This statement elicited a warm response from people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!
"I want to participate!"
"Mayor, I've brought my daughter!"
"Mayor, I've brought my fiancée here!"
Seeing the enthusiasm, Jin Lushan immediately pointed to the tables set up not far from the shore and shouted, "Registration ends at noon today! Anyone interested, please register here! Latecomers will not be accepted, so please register as much as possible!"
The players exchanged glances and then dispersed to find a secluded spot to go their own way.
Jiang Lin and his group found a deserted alleyway and began to discuss their plan.
Chen Jiangqiao's expression was somewhat grim: "What are we going to do if we don't have any women in our team?"
Wang Zhe's mind was still filled with those beautiful fans: "Tell me, how were those fans made? They're so gorgeous!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Chen Jiangqiao cursed, then looked at Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi seriously and said, "The system doesn't stipulate that we have to participate in this fan-shaped beauty contest, but there are definitely clues hidden here. Our team doesn't have any women, so it seems we can only cooperate with other teams."
“They’re all experts, who would want to cooperate with you!” Wang Zhe retorted to Chen Jiangqiao before Jiang Lin could speak.
"I told you to shut up!" Chen Jiangqiao found the big, dumb guy's voice annoying.
"I haven't finished yet!" Wang Zhe, who plays basketball regularly, is twice as strong as Chen Jiangqiao and pushed him aside. "Not having women isn't a problem, we have beauties here!"
Wang Zhe raised his chin and gestured towards Ji Xingyi: "Young Master Ji, how about you make a sacrifice?"
Chen Jiangqiao thought Wang Zhe was about to spout nonsense, so upon hearing this, he swallowed back his curses and his eyes darted around, scanning Ji Xingyi's face and body.
Ji Xing was three seconds slow to react. His face darkened, and he said in a dangerous voice, "You want me to pretend to be a woman?"
You really dare to dream!
Even though Jiang Lin admired Wang Zhe's sharp tongue, she couldn't help but let her gaze linger on Ji Xingyi's face, wanting to see more!
"How about... we give it a try?" Jiang Lin tentatively suggested.
Ji Xingyi felt the burning intensity in Jiang Lin's eyes, but when asked to wear a skirt and dress as a woman, his eyes were full of resistance.
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then reached out and quietly touched the man's back, slipping her hand inside his light gray sweater, her fingertips tracing circles on his waist: "Maybe there will be an important clue? It's also for passing the level."
Ji Xingyi sighed, grabbed Jiang Lin's teasing hand, and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll go."
Wang Zhe stroked his chin: "But we grown men don't know how to do makeup, and having people around isn't enough, is it?"
"That's alright, I'll find someone to help me!" Chen Jiangqiao was already in a frenzy, wishing he could run away on all fours.
"Hey! Who are you looking for! I'll go with you!" Upon hearing Chen Jiangqiao's meaning, which suggested he might be going to chat up the girls from another team, Wang Zhe immediately chased after him.
Ji Xingyi felt an urge to facepalm and looked at Jiang Lin: This is all your fault.
Jiang Lin wasn't guilty at all. When no one was around, he wrapped his arms around Ji Xingyi's neck and kissed her: "Are you angry?"
"How could I dare?" Ji Xingyi chuckled as he looked into Jiang Lin's eyes. He had been completely controlled by Jiang Lin his whole life.
