Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled as he took the wooden box and placed it in Ming Cheya's hands. He caressed her face and said,""Jade pendant."
Ming Cheya's face softened. Under the illumination of the surrounding lights, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile that instantly silenced the surrounding noise.
However, before everyone could react, the two people in front of them had completely disappeared.
"Where did he go?" A scholar who had recovered from the shock was still immersed in the shock." That woman's smile is really beautiful."”
After that, the people around him immediately nodded in agreement. At the same time, a sense of disappointment rose in their hearts. They were afraid that they would never see such a beautiful smile again in the future.
However, in an instant, a strong bone-piercing chill rushed up from the soles of their feet, making them shiver involuntarily. They looked around in fear.
"Hey, did you feel a, um, killing intent just now?”The person who spoke swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some fear.
"You felt it too?" The people at the side were a little frightened.
"I felt it too."
"What exactly happened?" Some people began to ask in fear.
"Is it because we were staring at that woman just now?”A burly man said," I heard that the woman is the daughter of Yama. Was it because our gaze was too explicit just now, so…"
The burly man did not finish his sentence, but everyone's face was pale. They felt that it was because of this that they could feel the bone-chilling killing intent.
"In the future, when you see this woman, don't just stare at her face to avoid offending Lord Nether King.”A weak voice suggested.
In an instant, everyone silently agreed with this suggestion in their hearts. They thought to themselves that for the sake of their lives, they should not do this again, even though the princess of the Netherworld was really very beautiful.
The crowd finally regained their senses and focused their attention back on the lantern riddles. Some people saw that the final prize had been won, but they were still very interested in the lantern riddles, so they asked,"Shopkeeper, the prize has been won. Shouldn't the price be lowered a little?”
The shop owner was still smiling as he looked at everyone and took out things from under the stall. Soon, some candied haws, exquisite and cute little dolls, fruits, and other prizes were placed on the stall.
"The price has been reduced to thirty copper coins, and you will receive different prizes if you answer different questions correctly. The prizes are these things that I have placed in front of you.”The shop owner said.
"Oh, yeah!" Hearing this, everyone started to cheer together, happy for the shop owner's decision.
This way, they could finally challenge these difficult riddles again!
Beside an arch bridge that was filled with traces of time, many large and colorful lanterns hung on both sides of the river, emitting a gentle light, making the houses on both sides of the street look even more ancient.
The clear water flowed slowly from west to east, reflecting the scenery on both sides of the river. A gentle breeze blew past, and the surface of the water rippled and slowly spread outwards. Even the reflection in the water became blurry.
At the same time, there were many lanterns burning candles floating on the river. They swayed in the water, carrying the wishes of their owners and leisurely setting off on the journey, floating to the other side of the distant land where wishes could be fulfilled.
Ming Cheya looked at the scenery around her in surprise. She didn't know why the Abyss had brought her here in an instant. Suddenly, before she could react, she was pulled into Chen Yuan's embrace.
"What's wrong?" Ming Cheya asked in a low voice as she felt the displeased aura from Chen Yuan.
"Don't smile in front of others in the future.”Chen Yuan let go of Ming Cheya and lifted her chin with his right hand to make her look at him. He looked at Ming Cheya with a deep gaze as she gave the order.
Although she felt that this mortal was being unreasonable at this moment, she would reluctantly agree to his request since he was the person she liked.
After a moment of silence, Ming Cheya nodded.
Chen Yuan smiled in satisfaction. While he was thinking about how to deal with the mortals who saw Ming Cheya's smile tonight, he heard the thoughts of those mortals. They said that they would never look at Ming Cheya's face again.
In an instant, Abyss felt even more satisfied. In a good mood, he decided to let go of the mortals who had offended him. However, the death penalty could be avoided, and the fire mouth could not escape.
Thus, all the mortals who were guessing the lantern riddles had nightmares that night. When they woke up the next day, they found that their bodies were sore and they could not get up. Even if they went to see a doctor, the doctor could not tell them the cause of the disease. When they were in panic, on the tenth day, their "illness" was cured for no reason, making them cry with joy.
Of course, all of this was for the future.
At this moment, Chen Yuan was taking the wooden box from Ming Cheya's hands, opening it and taking out the phoenix jade pendant that was shining with a white and transparent light. He opened the joint and slowly put it on Ming Cheya's neck.
The moment the jade pendant came into contact with Ming Cheya's skin, it suddenly emitted a gentle milky white glow. The warm temperature inside caressed their skin gently, transmitting a cheerful and joyful aura.
When the light disappeared, both Ming Cheya and Chen Yuan were surprised.
" This…" Ming Cheya rubbed the jade pendant around her neck with her fingers. Her expression was complicated.
In that instant, she felt a sense of familiarity with the jade pendant. She even saw a white back in the light, which made her heart ache.
Chen Yuan's heart was also in a mess. At that moment, he seemed to have seen Xiao Die crying in the world. Tears kept flowing from her eyes, and she looked so sad.
Perhaps, those were his lost memories. If that was the case, then he knew Xiao Die before?
As he thought about it, Chen Yuan raised his hand to pick up the dragon-shaped jade pendant and prepared to put it on himself. He wanted to see if the scene just now would appear to confirm his guess. However, just as she raised her hand, a pair of fair hands stopped her and took the jade pendant.
"You put it on me, I'll put it on you. That's right." Ming Cheya's face softened. Although the scene she had just seen made her sad, it was nothing more important than this mortal in front of her. Thus, Ming Cheya smiled again.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan lowered his head in understanding. The gentleness in his eyes seemed to drown people in it.
"Alright." After Ming Cheya tied a knot on the rope, she put her hand down and held Chen Yuan's hand gently.
But this time, they were disappointed because nothing happened.
"Looks like I can only see it once." Chen Yuan was a little disappointed. He wanted to use this jade pendant to understand more about the things he was puzzled about, but it seemed that it would not work.
"Yes." Ming Cheya replied softly. She looked up at the Sunken Abyss and said," But what's important is now. We'll know about the past eventually.”
The displeasure between Chen Yuan's brows disappeared in an instant.
Yes, everything would be known one day, and there was no need for him to rush. It seemed that he had been too tense and anxious recently because of the Demon Realm.
"Fortunately, I have you." With his arms around Ming Cheya, Chen Yuan lowered his head and placed his chin on Ming Cheya's shoulder, whispering in her ear.
Ming Cheya's lips curled into a bright smile again. She liked how this mortal relied on her and believed in her. This made her feel especially at ease. Because this proved that the two of them were by each other's side, accompanying each other.
The two of them stood in this quiet place, facing the noisy street. They silently looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them. The taste of happiness slowly seeped into their chests, making them not want to lose it again.
At this moment, an unknown sigh filled with regret sounded in the world, but no one could hear it.
The next day, when Ming Cheya woke up and washed up, she sat on the soft couch at the side. Manzhu and Sha Hua pushed the door open and walked in excitedly.
Princess, you're finally up." Manzhu blinked her big bright eyes and said happily.
"Did something happy happen?" Ming Cheya turned to Sha Hua and asked calmly as usual.
Sha Hua looked at Ming Cheya with a happy expression. She slowly took out the things from her portal bag and placed them on the table. At the same time, Manzhu, who was at the side, did the same.
"What are these?" Ming Cheya looked at the strange things on the table and asked in confusion.
Manzhu picked up a strange-looking wooden stick and handed it to Ming Cheya. She said happily,""Princess, this is what Sha Hua and I bought last night. This is a wishing stick in my hand. It is said that as long as you hold it in your hand, you can fulfill your wishes.”
Ming Cheya was a little surprised. She took it and observed it for a while before looking up at Manzhu and the other girl."Where did you buy this?"
"Last night, at a mortal's place." Sha Hua was also very happy." Many people bought this from him, and we even saw one person holding this to fulfill his wish. This is the first time I've seen a mortal who can make such a magical thing.”
Ming Cheya's face darkened when she heard that. She looked at the two innocent people in front of her and did not know what to say.
Of course, the two of them were so excited that they did not notice Ming Cheya's expression.
"Princess, make a wish on it. I will fulfill any wish of the princess." Manzhu blinked her large eyes, her face filled with anticipation.
"How many did you buy?" Ming Cheya asked.
"One." Sha Hua answered honestly, her eyes clear." Manzhu and I just need to stay by the princess 'side. We don't need a wishing stick."”
Hearing this, Ming Cheya's heart warmed. She looked at the two of them with a deep warmth in her eyes. The two of them were really silly and only knew how to think for her.
"Make your wish, Princess." Manzhu and Sha Hua looked expectant.
Ming Cheya looked up at the two of them gently. Holding the useless stick, she asked,""What are the other things on the table?”
