"This is a Golden Dragon lantern, for you." Ming Xi gave a lantern to Shang'er, "Mingyu likes little white bunnies, so I bought her a little white bunny lantern."
Shang'er held the lantern and observed it curiously, "This doesn't look like a dragon. Dragons have five claws, and the dragon horns don't look like one either."
"Little girl, dragons look like this. Our Lan Family Square's dragon lanterns are the most realistic in the entire capital." The owner of the dragon lantern said to Shang'er with a smile.
"Dragons don't look like this." Shang'er whispered.
The owner laughed, "Little girl, have you seen a real dragon before?"
"More than that …" Shang'er wanted to say that she was a white dragon, but Ming Xi covered her mouth.
"She saw it at the Dragon King Temple, and always thought that it was a real dragon." Ming Xi said to the owner.
Shang'er pried Ming Xi's hand away, knowing that she almost said the wrong thing, and her eyes drifted elsewhere.
Ming Xi paid the money, and took Shang'er's hand to leave.
"Are you angry?" Shang'er looked at Ming Xi carefully, thinking that he was angry at her for saying nonsense.
"No." Ming Xi looked back at her, "I also don't think this dragon lantern looks like one."
Shang'er grinned, "That's right, we … look much better."
"But don't tell others about this in the future." Ming Xi said.
"Yes, I won't say it in the future." Shang'er nodded vigorously.
Ming Xi held her hand and squeezed through the crowd. Seeing someone performing acrobatics, Shang'er's eyes lit up, and she stopped walking, staring at the man who was breathing fire.
"Ming Xi, that person is breathing fire. It's amazing." Shang'er shouted.
"That's just acrobatics, he can't really breathe fire." Ming Xi said helplessly. To Shang'er, everything in the human world was strange. She had been trapped in the Dragon Mountain for so many years, and had never seen the outside world, so it was inevitable that she would be full of curiosity.
Shang'er pulled his hand, "Let's watch for a while before leaving, okay?"
Ming Xi looked at her for a while, and seeing that she really couldn't move, he could only stand there with her and watch the acrobatics.
A pretty girl in green came over with a gong. Ming Xi threw some silver in, and the girl was so grateful that she almost knelt down and kowtowed.
"The little girl is quite pretty." On the other side, a few youths dressed in embroidered robes were giggling at the girl in green. The one standing in front even reached out to touch her chin.
The girl in green took a step back and said shyly, "Young master, please conduct yourself with dignity."
"Oh, she told us to conduct ourselves with dignity." A few of the youths laughed arrogantly.
The man who had just performed the fire-breathing acrobatics hurried over and bowed to the youngsters, smiling apologetically. "Young Masters, my daughter doesn't know any better. She said something wrong and offended us. Please forgive her."
"Sure, let your daughter show us how to smash a boulder on her chest," the young man said, and the people around him laughed out loud.
The green-clothed girl hid behind the burly man in fear and looked like she was about to cry.
"My daughter has never learned martial arts. Let me show you how to break a boulder with my chest," the burly man said as he walked over and lay down. He then asked someone to move the boulder onto his body.
"What does he want to do? Isn't he afraid of death with such a huge rock crushing him? " Shang'er exclaimed. Ming Xi had said that mortals were very weak, but this person didn't look weak at all.
The young man walked over and kicked the burly man. "Who wants to see you shatter a boulder on your chest? Let your daughter show us."
The green-clothed girl was so frightened that she started crying. She went over to support her father who had been kicked to the ground.
The surrounding onlookers all quietened down. There were several young men whose eyes were filled with righteous indignation, but because of the young man's identity, no one dared to take a step forward.
"Ming Xi, what are they doing?" Shang'er asked curiously.
"Doing something bad." Ming Xi frowned. After leaving the capital for so many years, he actually didn't recognize a single one of these silkpants who had suddenly appeared.
Shang'er's eyes widened. "That girl is crying. What are they pouring into her mouth?"
"Don't go too far." Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Who wants to meddle in other people's business?" One of the youths shouted like a hooligan.
Shang'er walked out and pulled away the young man who was holding onto the green-clothed girl. She said in a sweet voice, "Didn't you hear her say she didn't want it? Why are you still forcing her? "
"Where did this … little girl come from …" When the young man who was dragging her away saw Shang'er, his eyes went straight. "Tsk tsk, this little girl is much prettier than the one selling smiles."
"Young master Teng, the little girl said she was being forced by someone else. Let her do it for you." The young man next to him laughed.
"Teng Fei, let's watch a good show today."
The one called Teng Fei looked at Shang'er and reached out to grab her.
A hand reached out from the side and grabbed Teng Fei's hand. "Speak properly. Don't be touchy."
Ming Xi looked down at Shang'er. Although he didn't like to meddle in other people's business, since Shang'er had already interfered, there was no reason for him to not care.
"Who are you?" Teng Fei wanted to pull his hand back but found that he couldn't use any strength.
The boy in front of him looked a few years younger than him. How could he be stronger than him?
"Looks like today won't be so boring." The other two youths looked at Ming Xi and smiled. They were already itching to beat him up.
"I'm not going to fight with you. Scram." Ming Xi looked at Teng Fei and said calmly.
Teng Fei laughed out loud. "Little brat, we're not fighting you. We're the ones beating you."
Shang'er rolled up her sleeves. "I'll beat them up."
"Don't! They're not worth it. " Ming Xi hurriedly stopped Shang'er. If he really let Shang'er fight, then these people would really be dead. "I'll do it."
"Little brat, do you know who we are?" Teng Fei's nose was in the air. In the capital, no one dared to offend him. This little brat was definitely from the countryside and didn't know who they were.
Ming Xi said, "I don't know and there's no need to know."
"Little Master, little girl, don't bother with us. Otherwise, you'll be dragged into this." The big man said to Ming Xi.
"Catch them. Let them show us how they can smash rocks with their chests." Teng Fei laughed arrogantly.
The two youths came over to grab Ming Xi. The surrounding people were so shocked that they closed their eyes. They felt that these two brave and righteous little girl and the little master had a pitiful ending. Following the blood-curdling screams, everyone sucked in a breath.
Apart from Teng Fei, the other five youths were kicked away.
"You're so weak and you have the nerve to bully others." Shang'er looked at them with disdain. She turned to the girl in green and said, "You don't have to be afraid of these people. You guys can breathe fire. Just breathe fire and burn them to death."
Ming Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Shang'er, that's not how they breathe fire."
Teng Fei's expression changed greatly. "You guys are tired of living. Catch them and bring them back!"
Behind them, there were ten or so servants guarding the courtyard. All of them were tall and muscular. They pushed through the crowd and walked over.
