The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 78-79

Chapter 78 Shoes

After making a fuss for most of the night, Lan Xuan finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

　　He had a long dream that happened a few months ago -

　　The sleeping dragon was awakened in his lair, and the mortals looked forward to his arrival and offered him the best sacrifices.

　　The Yue Kingdom held a sacrificial ceremony. It was a rare time when Lan Xuan could come out. The ceremony lasted for three days.

　　The streets were bustling with people, and Lan Xuan's appearance was too eye-catching, so he imitated the appearance of an ordinary person and turned into a child.

　　Street performers performed acrobatics, and the crowds surrounded them, cheering continuously.

　　Lan Xuan mingled among them, looking at the performers with his bright eyes. At the end of each performance, the performers would ask for silver. He had no silver, so he threw beautiful beads instead.

　　"Don't miss it if you pass by, come and have a look!" The handsome man had a smile on his face and a hemp rope in his hands. People couldn't help but stop for a moment because of his good looks.

　　The man was Xie Songzhou.

　　He freed his hands from the rope in just a few moves, and the rope was still intact. Like a magic trick, he turned the rope into a flower with his backhand.

　　"good!"

　　The people around him clapped their hands. After a few rounds of applause, he smiled with a charming expression on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Those who have money can support us with money, and those who don't can support us with their presence. Thank you, fellow countrymen..."

　　The copper coins were thrown into the basin, and with a "dong" sound, a night pearl the size of a baby's fist fell into the basin. When the people around saw it, they gasped.

　　"Which young master is so generous?"

　　"Did you see who it was just now?"

　　"I don't know..."

　　Xie Songzhou, the street performer, also paused, took the night pearl out of the basin, looked around, and saw people whispering to each other.

　　The sacrificial ceremony in the palace city had been going on for the past two days, and the people had been having a great time as well. When Xie Songzhou was collecting money on the second day, another pearl of unknown origin fell into his basin. It was a pearl the size of a fingernail, and it came from the same place as yesterday.

　　Xie Songzhou closed his stall, wondering who the sucker was.

　　At that time, the unjust Lan Xuan followed the old man selling candied haws all the way. Because he did not have the silver of ordinary people, he could not buy the candied haws and was targeted by two human traffickers.

　　"Where's your father?"

　　"Want to eat candied haws? I'll buy them for you. There are more over there."

　　"Come, follow us, and you can eat as much as you want."

　　Lan Xuan followed them and walked into a small alley. He became a little impatient and wanted to turn around and leave, but was blocked by the two men from the front and the back.

　　"Where are you going?"

　　"Get out of the way." Lan Xuan's eyes were cold and murderous. He knew that these two people were lying to him. He heard them whispering that his appearance could be sold for a good price.
