Free Web NovelEarth City's current prosperity even surpasses what it was during the first round of natural disasters.
The close interaction between Sky City and Earth City is evident in many aspects.
Besides the meticulously crafted replica Sky City buildings, which consumed immense manpower and resources, even clothing trends followed the Sky Tribe's lead.
For example, recently, there were many people on the streets wearing large, red floral cotton-padded jackets, their vibrant colors dazzling to the eyes.
As a Transmigrator, Li Mo found it strange.
But the Earth City people called this a trend, and some classmates even mocked him for lacking taste.
The lantern market was like a sea, with people as numerous as rain.
“The next time I see a lantern festival, I wonder when that will be.”
Li Mo felt a sense of emotion and reluctance, yet it was overshadowed by a bubbling excitement.
Once he stepped out this door, it would be a vast world, a brand new world.
Perhaps young people, just starting out, always harbor such feelings in their hearts.
He walked into the lantern market, but before he could pass through it, he heard a stall owner shouting nearby:
“Come and see, come and see! Genuine materials, guaranteed to bring favorable weather, ward off evil, and remove bad luck!”
The stall owner was selling masks, colorful and distinctly featured.
This was probably the earliest form of idol merchandise... Many people were gathered around.
“This one is of Jiang Di of the Sky Tribe; it is said that he wields a God Sword and was born with double pupils, allowing him to perceive the slightest detail.”
“This is of Feng Zhi of the Upper Tribe; ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) she is the Goddess of Wind, and this floral cotton-padded jacket I'm wearing now is her favorite style of clothing.”
“What about this one?”
Li Mo stepped forward and asked, pointing to the flawless white jade moon-patterned mask at the very top.
“Young Master has excellent taste! This is my proudest work!”
The stall owner puffed out his chest and said proudly:
“This is Han Yue Xian, the most mysterious and noble among the Sky Tribe.”
“Where in the world is there a Han Yue Xian? Isn't that just made up?” Someone felt the stall owner was just trying to sell for a higher price, speaking carelessly.
The stall owner, however, said solemnly: “There is. I was a border guard back then. That day, the South Gate was breached. If she hadn't descended from the sky, how could we be here drinking and chatting today?” freёwebnoѵel.com
“He's telling that story again.”
“Boss, you said that when I was a child. Now my child can buy soy sauce, but you still haven't sold your mask.”
“He must be trying to trick people again, but unfortunately, no one is foolish enough to believe him.”
The surrounding crowd laughed at him, and the atmosphere in the area was filled with joy.
But unexpectedly, the foolish and rich one arrived.
“I want this. How much is it?” Li Mo asked.
When traversing the Jianghu, sometimes it's necessary to act conveniently.
Getting a mask is essential.
Hmm, it's definitely not because he genuinely liked it and couldn't do without it... Xiao Li found a good reason for himself, touching the two hundred taels of silver in his Pregnant.
It shouldn't cost that much, right?
The stall owner said: “One hundred taels for one chance to answer a riddle. If you guess the riddle correctly, the mask is yours.”
“One hundred taels isn't even for buying, just for a chance to try? No wonder it hasn't been sold.”
“Boss, you're expensive again. Last year it was clearly fifty taels. Are you perhaps seeing someone just starting out and easy to fool?”
“Young Master, ignore him. There are plenty of places selling colorful masks on this street.”
Everyone advised him not to be fooled.
But Li Mo hesitated for a moment. He truly hadn't seen one like this along the way, so he still took out the silver.
“Good, please pick a lantern, Young Master.”
The stall owner happily took the money, beaming.
Li Mo's gaze searched among the lanterns for a moment, then suddenly a gust of wind made a certain lantern sway slightly, so he casually pointed to it.
“This one.”
“The mist flies in disarray, the green wraps around the rocks.”
The stall owner flipped the lantern to reveal the riddle.
Since it was a riddle that cost one hundred taels, everyone started pondering it, but for a while, they had no clue.
Li Mo wasn't actually good at this.
But strangely enough, perhaps he had seen the same question in his previous life, because the answer immediately came to him.
But before he could speak, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear:
“The character for Phoenix, phoenix.”
The voice was clear and gentle.
“Phoenix?”
Li Mo, who had blurted it out, was stunned. How was it the same as what he was thinking?
He subconsciously looked back, but couldn't find who had spoken just now.
Moreover, the other people around him didn't seem to have heard that voice just now, acting as if completely unaware.
Only he heard it?
“Young Master is intelligent; to guess it so quickly, it seems this item is indeed destined for you.”
The stall owner kept his word and readily handed over the mask.
“Uh, thank you.”
As he took the mask, Li Mo felt that its texture was smooth and lustrous, and its craftsmanship exquisite; its value was indeed far more than one hundred taels.
But he still couldn't figure out who had reminded him in his ear just now.
While looking at the mask in thought, he left the mask stall with his head down and headed out of the city.
He pondered, was there anyone around him whose voice was like that? Apparently not, none of them sounded as good as that voice.
Could it be that his ears were having problems at such a young age, and he was hallucinating?
After walking for a while, he still hadn't figured out the problem when he suddenly felt himself bump into something cold and elastic.
A veil drifted down with the wind.
It was accompanied by a refreshing and lingering fragrance that wouldn't dissipate.
“I bumped into someone?”
Li Mo subconsciously reached out to catch it, but the playful veil danced with the wind and was instantly blown into the river.
“I'm sorry...”
“It's okay.”
This voice?
Li Mo subconsciously looked up, but couldn't say a word.
He found that the owner of the veil was a cool and aloof woman.
She wore a plain indigo dress, standing in the night, and her extremely simple clothes were worn by her with an extraordinary Immortal Qi.
Yet, a cute boy with a large head was hanging from her waist, a contrast that gave her a touch of earthly charm.
Xiao Li now deeply understood what it meant to be inarticulate. Looking at her beautiful face, his gaze could no longer move away, and his heart was beating very fast.
Was it because her beauty was too breathtaking?
And what was with his neck suddenly being so itchy?
His hand unconsciously had its own ideas, wanting to reach out to her.
“Han Yue Xian...”
“What?”
“No, I mean this.”
Li Mo raised the mask in his hand.
“I accidentally dropped your veil. How about I give you this instead?”
A flicker of pleasure passed through her narrowed eyes: “Okay.”
Li Mo watched her put on the mask; it fit her face perfectly, revealing only the lower half of her face, with exquisite vermilion lips.
“Does it look good?”
“Although I am a gentleman, to be fair, Han Yue Xian herself should be no more than this.”
“Giving such a valuable item on our first meeting, and speaking so nicely...”
She, who seemed otherworldly, smiled, like a bright moon that even clouds couldn't hide, shining solely on one person:
“Did you prepare a speech before going out, to say to beautiful women you meet while traversing the Jianghu to please them?”
