Oh My, How Extra!

A Hairy Situation 8: I'm Pretty. I Deserve to Be on the List.

Qiang Yan returned to the city in a daze. He couldn't believe what he had seen just now! Never mind that Li Yin had found himself a lover. How come that lover was a fallen god?! Weren't they known to be deranged beyond repair? Getting involved with one of them was like sleeping in a nest of poisonous snakes! You were bound to get bitten and die a horrible death. He really couldn't believe this. But it had to have gone on for a long time. Otherwise, why would Ru Zhen look so much like that fallen god? Ah, he couldn't understand.

He roamed through the streets, not paying attention to his surroundings. He only vaguely felt that things were getting rowdy. Mn? Qiang Yan snapped out of his daze and barely evaded a woman running down the street. He raised his brows but didn't think about it further. It was rather normal for people to hurry at a festival like this if they wanted to meet up with someone. Those young people were all exuberant at the Mei Xin festival. No wonder they were all hurrying like this.

"Is that really ..."

"How could they let one of them into the capital?"

"What is he thinking?"

High-strung voices could be heard and several other women hurried past Qiang Yan. It was as if ... they were fleeing from something. Or someone.

Qiang Yan frowned and made his way over to the crowd that was slowly backing off. Some people broke out of the crowd and ran away, giving those still standing and watching more space and allowed Qiang Yan a quick look.

Two people were walking down the street toward the crowd. He couldn't see their faces, only two dark robes. His brows twitched. With the reaction of the crowd ... This wouldn't be Li Yin with his lover, would it? He stalked over and started to weave through the crowd.

Next to him, a girl pulled at the sleeve of her mother. "Mommy, why is everyone whispering? Who's that?"

"Sh!" The mother hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth and lowered her voice. "That's a fallen god! They're very dangerous!"

Qiang Yan frowned. So it was indeed true! That guy, how could he do something like this? He had always known that Li Yin didn't care about other's opinion but this was too much! Fallen gods were indeed dangerous. Even if he could somehow handle that guy, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't run wild in such a crowd. A fallen god couldn't be trusted!

"Li Yin, you —" Qiang Yan stopped dead in his tracks when the two men finally came into view.

The one on the left was a fallen god alright but he wasn't Li Yin's lover. And the one on the right wasn't Li Yin either. This ... this had to be a colossal joke! Was it date-a-fallen god day today?!

"Senior Xin Lan, what's the meaning of this?!"

Xin Lan raised his brows. "The meaning of what?"

Qiang Yan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only motion at the person next to Xin Lan.

The dragon glanced over with seeming disinterest. "That? That's Xiang Yu. I asked him to accompany me to the Mei Xin festival."

"You ..." Qiang Yan shook his head. "Alright, whatever." If Li Yin could do it, then this ancient dragon could do so even more. What right did he have to interfere? At the very least, he trusted in Xin Lan's ability to keep a fallen god under control more than in Li Yin's. Well, not that Li Yin had been so daring to bring his lover into the capital. He still had some common sense.

"Then we'll go now."

"Ah ... Yes. Have ... have a nice day." Qiang Yan cupped his fists and fled the scene. He would just go and wait in his palace. If one of these two were to run amok, people could come and notify him. He just couldn't stay here. What if a third one turned up? Wasn't three times a spell? With that thought, he shook his head and left.
