Fox Demon: Miss Yaya, this damn possessiveness

Chapter 16: Encountering the King's Hegemony Again

At this time, in the lantern riddle guessing area, countless lanterns have been hung up, with riddles written on them.

"Li Qing! Can you guess the riddles?"

Tushan Yaya looked at Li Qing who was pulling her and asked.

"Second Miss, I know all the riddles!"

Li Qing replied.

"Is it so powerful?"

Tushan Yaya heard what Li Qing said, but didn't understand the hidden meaning of Li Qing's words. She looked at Li Qing with admiration and said.

"Everyone, anyone who guesses the riddle can take the lantern that contains the riddle. The registration fee is only five cents!"

The boss of the lantern riddle guessing game stood in the crowd and said as he looked at the people who were very interested.

"It's only five cents, Li Qing. Since you're so good, you must be able to guess it, right?"

Tushan Yaya blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Qing and said, then she turned around and ran to pick up the lantern.

After listening to the lantern owner's words, Li Qing said to himself:

"Damn, he made all the money. Even if he bought this lantern, it wouldn't cost him more than five cents!"

Even though everyone knew that this lantern was probably not worth five cents, there were still a lot of people giving money to the boss, just for the atmosphere.

"Huh? What about people?"

Li Qing turned around and found that Tushan Yaya was gone, so he started looking for Tushan Yaya.

Soon, Li Qing found Tushan Yaya in front of a big red lantern and quickly ran towards her.

"Li Qing, I want this!"

Tushan Yaya pointed at the big red lantern above her head and said to Li Qing.

"Second Miss, you think too highly of me. I'm just a storyteller and I know nothing about guessing lantern riddles!"

"But didn't you just say that the seven orifices were connected to the six orifices?"

"Yeah, that's all I have left!"

Li Qing nodded and looked at Tushan Yaya and said.

As he spoke, Li Qing glanced at the riddle hanging on the lantern and saw that it read:

Wood, water, fire and earth are all fake!

"Who the hell could have guessed this?"

Li Qing just took a look at the riddle, gave up guessing it, and turned around and walked towards the boss.

"Boss, how about I discuss something with you?"

Li Qing came to the boss and whispered.

"Oh? Sir, please go ahead!"

"My friend wants that lantern, you see......"

After hearing what Li Qing said, the boss immediately understood what Li Qing meant. He just wanted to use money to buy the lantern, but didn't want to lose face in front of his friends.

The boss held up a finger. Li Qing saw it and gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, ten cents is ten cents, I'll buy it!"

The boss shook his head and said:

"Sir, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I didn't say ten cents!"

"What? You want to sell me a broken lantern for a hundred coins?"

After hearing what the boss said, Li Qing's face changed and he said angrily.

"Haha! Sir, you still misunderstood. If you want that lantern, you have to pay one or two taels of silver!"

The boss said with a faint smile of a profiteer on his face.

"One ounce of silver? You are such a profiteer. Your lantern only cost three cents at most, and you want to sell it to me for one ounce of silver. Are you crazy?"

After hearing what the boss said, Li Qing said angrily that he was cheated by the boss when he bought the love lock today. Li Qing still feels resentful about it. Although he does have some money, he can't afford to be ripped off by this group of unscrupulous businessmen!

"Love or not, if not, forget it!"

The lantern owner seemed to be sure that Li Qing could not guess his riddle, and said to Li Qing confidently.

"Oh! I don't want it!"

Li Qing was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. Turning back, he saw a man wearing a mask and a white robe standing behind him.

"It's really you, Brother Li. I thought Huaizhu was lying to me just now!"

Li Qing took a look and wondered, apart from Wang Quanbaiye, who else would ostentatiously wear a mask to participate in the Chinese Valentine's Day?

"Brother Wang Quan, Miss Dongfang, why are you here?"

Li Qing looked at the two of them with some confusion and asked.

"I was out for a stroll with an oriental girl, and I didn't expect to run into you!"

Li Qing looked at Wang Quan Baiye and Dongfang Qinlan, and his expression immediately brightened up. He took the two of them and walked towards where Tushan Yaya was.

"Brother Wang Quan, Miss Dongfang, can you please help me guess the riddle on this lantern? If you can, I will treat you to a meal later, how about that?"

Wang Quan Baiye listened to Li Qing's words, looked at the lantern, took a glance, then retracted his gaze, shook his head and said:

"Brother Li, you think too highly of me. If you were to ask me how to practice sword, perhaps I could give you an answer. Forget about asking me this!"

After hearing what Wang Quan Baiye said, Li Qing thought that Wang Quan Baiye was a descendant of a big family and should know something about riddles. However, he did not expect that he was just as clueless as himself.

"Mr. Li, the riddle for this lantern should be the word 'zhen'. I don't know if it's correct!"

At this time, the boss came over, looked at Li Qing provocatively and said:

"How about it, young man, do you want to guess? If not, please stay away from my lantern. If you don't guess, there are others who will be waiting for your turn!"

Li Qing couldn't sit still when he saw the boss' provocative look. He looked at the boss and said:

"Boss, even if we don't guess, can't we just take a look?"

"Haha! You guys can never guess what you are doing here? You are just occupying the toilet but not doing anything!"

"What if I guess it?"

Li Qing looked at the boss and asked.

"Guessed it? Haha, please don't make me laugh. If you really guessed it, why not give you this lantern?"

The boss concluded that Li Qing would not be able to guess it, after all, this guy just wanted to buy the lantern for ten cents.

"You said that! Did you all hear it? Come and bear witness!"

Li Qing spoke loudly to all the people who were guessing riddles, and those people were attracted by Li Qing's words and gathered around Li Qing.

"What if you can't guess it?"

The boss also looked at Li Qing with a smile on his face and asked.

If I can't guess it, I'll give you one or two taels of silver!

"Okay! This is what you said!"

"That's right, I said it!"

Li Qing said to the boss in a very firm tone.

At this time, Li Qing felt that his sleeve was pulled by someone. He looked along his sleeve and saw Tushan Yaya hiding behind him, shaking her head slightly at him. After all, she had just heard Li Qing say that he knew nothing about lantern riddles. So she didn't want Li Qing to embarrass himself in front of so many people.

Li Qing gently held Tushan Yaya's hand and said to her:

"Don't worry, I'm going to order this lantern!"

Li Qing pointed at the riddle on the lantern and said to the boss:

"Wood, water, fire and earth are all false. If I'm not mistaken, this word should be related to gold. Since the other four are all false, gold is the real one. So, what word can gold and truth form? There is only one answer, and that is town!"

After listening to Li Qing's analysis, everyone nodded and said:

"Very good, very accurate analysis!"

"Huh? It seems to be true. Isn't Jin Zhen the town?"

Everyone was talking at once. After the boss heard what Li Qing said, he tore off the sticker on the back of the lantern. He saw that the word "Zhen" was indeed written on it, and his face immediately turned bad.

He really didn't want to give the lantern to Li Qing, but after all, he had said it in front of so many people, and it was not easy to regret it. He could only take down the lantern helplessly, handed it to Li Qing and said:

"You guessed it right, this lantern is for you!"
