Fu Wang carried Chu Yu and flew across Great Yan City, arriving at the green hills outside the city. When he stopped at an empty plot of land, many other people also stopped there. In addition to the people already on the empty plot of land, there were quite a number of people chatting and laughing. It was even more lively than the streets during the day.
It seemed that although most of the Snake Clan demons were cold, there were still some who liked to join in the fun ~ Although they were demons, their outer appearance was similar to that of a human. It was just that most of them looked like young people, there were very few who looked like old people or children. Furthermore, the demons here were all low-level demons, there were very few mid-level demons, not to mention high-level demons.
Just like what Fu Wang said, this kind of night market was not a place that the demons who cared about their status did not like to come to. Chu Yu concealed her aura, the others did not realize that she was actually a high-level demon. She pulled Fu Wang's sleeve and looked around, quietly asking him, "This is the night market?"
Fu Wang shook his head, "The night market has not opened yet, but it will open soon." Just as he finished speaking, there was a 'pa' sound. Countless lights slowly rose from the distant mountains, followed by the sound of firecrackers. There were a total of nine firecrackers.
When Fu Wang heard this, he said, "Nine firecrackers. So it's a big night market tonight, there should be more interesting things."
The crowd began to move forward. Fu Wang raised his hand, wanting to hold Chu Yu's hand, and just happened to bump into her hand. The two of them looked at each other, there was a smile in their eyes. Their hands were tightly clasped together, and they followed the crowd forward.
They walked from the empty plot of land to the forest. The forest was originally dark at night, but there were many orange and blue flames on the trees on both sides of the road. They were like flowers blooming on the tree branches, brightening up the forest at night.
Chu Yu pulled Fu Wang to the side of the road to look at the flames that seemed to grow on the tree branches. Seeing how they moved without any wind, she did not even blink her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw a very large orange flame suddenly tremble, and then it actually made a sound that sounded like a person coughing. The flame opened a hole and coughed out a few small sparks from it. After the two small sparks were coughed out, they turned into two new, smaller flames. After floating for a while, they stuck to the tree branch.
There was a circle of small flames beside the big flame. Hearing the big flame's cough, they all stopped pretending to be blooming. They twisted their bodies and jumped onto the big flame's branch. Sticking to the big flame, they started to jump here and there while squeaking. Chu Yu looked at them with interest. He guessed that they might be a big family. A big flame mother with a group of little flame children.
On another branch, Chu Yu saw two flames that seemed to be quarreling. One was orange, and the other was blue. The blue flame opened its mouth and spat out a blue flame towards the orange flame beside it. In the blink of an eye, the orange flame turned blue within the blue flame.
The original blue flame let out a cackling laugh, while the orange flame that had turned into a deep blue flame seemed to have its hair standing on end. The flames on its body began to explode, and after a while, it suddenly exploded with a bang. Chu Yu jumped in fright. He could not help but tighten his grip on Fu Wang's hand.
Fu Wang said with a smile, "It's okay. Look."
The small sparks that had exploded merged back together, and the orange flame was restored. This time, the orange flame also spat out sparks at the blue flame, dyeing the blue flame orange. This time, it was the deep blue flame's turn to explode, releasing angry creaking sounds as it also exploded.
The two flames of different colors spat at each other, dying each other's colors. Occasionally, they would explode, but they did not feel bored. Chu Yu walked far away, but when he turned his head, he still saw the two flames playing around.
There were many other flames, like the ones standing on the branches above them. One small flame opened its mouth and swallowed another small flame. Then, like a chicken pecking at rice, it swallowed the whole row of flames. After swallowing too many flames, the flame swelled up. In the end, it trembled and exploded, turning into a pile of flames. They all laughed together.
There was also an orange flame that left its branch and floated in front of Chu Yu. Chu Yu held his breath as he looked at the beautiful little flame. Just as he was guessing, it suddenly became very big. It gave her a fright, and then suddenly shrunk. It was like a naughty child who had succeeded in a prank. It had two flames on its waist and was laughing loudly with its mouth open. It was flicked by Fu Wang's hand and bounced against a nearby tree trunk, causing sparks to fly. It even looked very angry as it chirped at the two of them for a while. It was probably condemning Fu Wang for flicking it too hard.
Chu Yu did not understand what it was saying at all. She only felt that it was very interesting. She could not help but cling onto Fu Wang's arm, burying her face in his arm and secretly laughing.
Chu Yu's head kept turning back and forth. She felt that the small section of the forest path with flames would soon be finished. Fu Wang explained to her, "That is also a small spirit creature, just like the stone frog in the inn. Actually, these small spirit creatures do not have a fixed shape. They also have different habits. However, they will naturally be born in various places. Most of them will appear in places where low level demonic beasts live. For example, that frog is an 'otaku', and these flames are 'night lights'. You will see many others in the night market later. "
Chu Yu kept turning her head to look at those flames. When she could no longer see them, she turned her head and could not help but cry out in surprise. They had arrived at the lakeside. They had not arrived at the real night market yet. It was on the opposite side of the lake. Chu Yu remembered that when they had just arrived, they had seen this lake from the sky. However, this lake was not this bright at that time, and there was not such a long bridge on the lake.
The bridge was very old. It did not look like it had just been built. Instead, it looked like it had been here for many years. Furthermore, this bridge that connected to the opposite side of the lake was not placed on top of the lake. Instead, the bridge was completely submerged in water. Only the mottled red railings on both sides were exposed above the water. Could they walk? Wouldn't they be able to step on water if they stepped on it?
As Chu Yu was thinking, she saw that the person in front of her had already walked onto the bridge. He did not step on water like she had imagined, but directly stepped on the surface of the water. Actually, it was not appropriate to say that it was the surface of the water. This was because when Chu Yu looked carefully, she realized that the lake seemed to be still. It was like a mirror. When they stepped on the surface of the water, it was like stepping on a mirror. There was not even a single ripple.
"When the market opens for the full moon, this lake will become like this. It will be connected to the night market." Fu Wang said. It was their turn to walk onto the bridge. Chu Yu could not wait to step onto the bridge, but Fu Wang stopped her in her tracks. He said to a person on the right side of the bridge who was carrying a basket of flowers, "Two."
The young lady smiled and took the money stone from Fu Wang's hands. She then took out two beautiful red flowers from the basket and handed them to Fu Wang. She then smiled and said, "Good night to the two of you." After she finished speaking, she went to greet the demons behind them.
The two red flowers in Fu Wang's hands quickly turned into two red lanterns. He handed one of them to Chu Yu, "This is the pass to enter the night market."
Chu Yu took the red lantern and looked around. She remembered that the inn they were staying at also turned a fruit into a lantern. She concluded that there were many things here that could be turned into lanterns.
"No, this is specially made by the owner of the night market. It can protect the demons that enter the night market. When we enter the inn, the lanterns there have the same function. "Fu Wang said.
Chu Yu: So it's the ticket. Wait, I didn't say anything. How does Fu Wang know what I'm thinking?
Fu Wang: "Because Xiao Yu is too easy to understand."
Chu Yu: … I don't believe you. Then guess what I'm thinking right now?
Fu Wang: "I'm not guessing." (Smile)
Chu Yu: I didn't say anything!
Fu Wang: "That's why I said Xiao Yu is too easy to understand." (Sigh)
Chu Yu silently turned her face away and no longer looked at Fu Wang. This man was too scary. He could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes. Fu Wang looked at the side of her face. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't free his hands, he really wanted to pat her head. Thus, Chu Yu felt Fu Wang holding her hand even tighter. The two of them held hands and each held a red lantern. They blended into the crowd of people holding red lanterns and together, they formed a red band of light on the surface of the lake.
