Chapter 933 Guessing Lantern Riddles
"Holy crap, what is that thing?"
"Fire Feather Qilin Beast, judging from its appearance, it seems to be a ninth-tier beast."
"Ninth rank? That's equivalent to a human expert in the Life and Death Realm. Two ninth-rank fire-feathered qilin beasts are pulling the carriage. Just who is sitting in this carriage?"
"It should at least be the Reincarnation Realm."
"The Reincarnation Realm, wouldn't that mean the leader of a first-rate power?"
"Why do I feel like these two Fire Feather Qilin Beasts look familiar? Oh right, these are the two that Emperor Xia kept. Could it be that Emperor Xia and Empress are inside?"
"How could it be the Emperor and Empress? They wouldn't appear without a major ceremony. Besides, even if they did come out, they would show up."
"Who could be inside?"
"It might be a princess or a prince!"
"The Ninth Princess, that's right, it must be the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess returned to the capital today."
"The Ninth Princess? I really want to see her. I've heard she's the most beautiful woman in our Great Xia Dynasty."
"..."
The cart pulled by the Fire Feather Qilin Beast indeed attracted a great deal of attention. Everyone who saw it was talking about it. Ordinary people only felt that it was really majestic, but they didn't know what it was.
However, the cultivators recognized the Fire Feather Qilin Beast and even guessed the identity of the person inside the carriage.
Looking in the direction the Fire Feather Qilin Beast was running, everyone immediately guessed that the Ninth Princess was going to enjoy the lantern festival.
Everyone was immediately excited and hurriedly headed towards the Zhanghe Lantern Festival.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Mu glanced at the direction of the surging crowd, then turned to Xia Ningzhi and joked, "The Ninth Princess is really famous in the capital. So many people are heading to the Zhanghe Lantern Festival just to catch a glimpse of her."
"Hmm~"
Zhao Mu pretended to pinch his chin with his right hand and support his right elbow with his left hand, looking her over with interest and saying, "She is indeed a rare beauty. No wonder she is called the number one beauty of the Great Xia Dynasty by the people of the capital."
"Brother Zhao, please stop teasing me. None of your family members are any worse than me."
Xia Ningzhi couldn't help but smile and shake her head in reply.
"I wonder which young master will be the first to stick his head out later."
"Probably... the Gao family."
"That Gao Qisheng who blocked our way earlier?"
"Ah."
"Wow, quite the ardent admirer!"
Zhao Mu was immediately amused, but soon he asked with some doubt, "However, when we blocked the road today, why didn't he say a word and just let his servants talk nonsense?"
"Gao Qisheng is extremely arrogant."
Xia Ningzhi sighed softly and said, "The Gao family has deep roots in the Great Xia Dynasty. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they control half of the country. Relying on the power of the Gao family, Gao Qisheng doesn't even put many princes in his eyes."
“In his eyes, it’s already a big favor that he took the initiative to come to me, so why would he lower himself to say hello?”
"..."
Hearing this, Zhao Mu was speechless. What kind of weirdo was this guy?
He had never heard of anyone pursuing a girl like that before.
but.....
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. They are different people. He is the young master of the Gao family. Usually, as long as he takes the initiative to look at a girl, she will be eager to please him.
It's understandable that it took some time to adjust to old habits after the target was changed to Xia Ningzhi.
After about fifteen minutes, the Fire Feather Qilin Beast stopped, and Xia Ningzhi, holding Zhao Mu's hand, stepped out of the extremely luxurious carriage.
The Fire Feather Qilin Beast Chariot attracted a large number of cultivators.
When the two appeared in everyone's sight, everyone stared in shock.
"Wait, what... can someone tell me what's going on?!"
"Oh my God, my dream goddess actually took a man's hand."
"Ugh... My dream is shattered!"
"Who is this man? Tell me, I'm going to kill him."
"you sure?"
"I am absolutely certain that no man in this world is worthy of the Ninth Princess."
"That man is Zhao Mu, a disciple of the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace. If you've paid attention to the Fire God Sacrifice, you should know who he is. You want to kill him? Someone like you, he could take on ten thousand of you."
"Zhao Mu? You mean that fierce warrior who turned the tide in the Fire God Festival and defeated the alien races of the Heavenly Spirit Continent?"
"It seems you know him. Yes, the man beside the Ninth Princess is Zhao Mu. You may proceed!"
"Oh, what? My mom's calling me home for dinner. Oh, I'll be right there."
"..."
In the past, very few people would have recognized Zhao Mu, but things are different now. Because of the Golden Dragon Marrow, people from all over the country have flocked to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, and many of them have participated in the Fire God Ceremony.
On that day, Zhao Mu stole the show at the Fire God Festival.
It's not that he single-handedly turned the tide and thwarted the conspiracy of the Heavenly Spirit Continent.
Instead, as soon as he came out, he was chased by the head of the Ji family of the Blackwater River. In the end, he was rescued by his protector, Chi Yanyun, the number one female demon of the Asura Demon Sea, who also injured Ji Yiyuan.
Not only is it strong in its own right, but it also has a very powerful backer.
On that day, many people were warned by their elders that they should not provoke Zhao Mu unless absolutely necessary.
If you offend someone and suffer the consequences, don't come back crying and complaining.
They couldn't afford to mess with that female demon from the Asura Demon Sea.
She has destroyed more than one first-rate power, and even the head of the Ji family of the Blackwater River was no match for her. Who would be so bored as to mess with her?
Of course, those who dare not provoke Zhao Mu are a group of people who are not worthy of being his opponent. Anyone with a bit of confidence would not take Chi Yanyun seriously. The older generation is too embarrassed to get involved in the struggles of the younger generation.
Their only opponent is Zhao Mu.
If you don't even have the will to compete with people of your own time, then you should give up cultivation as soon as possible, go home, have a bunch of kids, and enjoy your old age.
Zhao Mu ignored the pointing fingers and gossip.
He came out tonight with a mission.
Xia Ningzhi linked arms with him, glancing at him every now and then, her eyes overflowing with adoration and love.
It must be said that this Ninth Princess has a truly strong learning ability. Zhao Mu only taught her a few times, and she was able to grasp the core concepts immediately, even surpassing her teacher, making it difficult to tell the difference between the real and the fake.
"Zhao Mu, wanna guess some riddles?"
At the lantern festival, guessing lantern riddles is the most common activity. As long as you guess the answer correctly, you will receive a reward, which is usually a small trinket or a lotus lantern that can be placed in water and float away with the waves.
"it is good."
Zhao Mu nodded and stopped with Xia Ningzhi in front of a large stall with all sorts of lanterns hanging on it. Each lantern had a small wooden sign with a riddle written on it.
Clearly, this stall offers riddles and free lanterns.
"Wearing a red hat and colorful clothes, she never sings opera, but likes to practice her singing."
Xia Ningzhi read the riddle aloud, then looked at Zhao Mu and asked, "What is the answer?"
