"It's incredible that I can see that lantern light up in my lifetime."
The people below were stunned, and immediately burst into cheers and shouts, the waves getting louder and louder. The eyes looking at He Baobao were so intense that it was terrifying.
He Baobao was so frightened that he retreated to Tantai's side and grabbed his sleeves, as if this could make him feel safe.
Tantai put away the glazed lantern, waved his sleeves, and a white mist enveloped everyone. He picked up He Baobao and disappeared from the restaurant in the blink of an eye.
"Where are the people?"
"Where are they going?!"
Everyone yelled when they came back to their senses, the situation was a bit uncontrollable.
The goddess was lying on the float. The piercing pain from her limbs made her convulse. In order to appease the people, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and get up.
Tantai took He Baobao to a river filled with lanterns. It looked like the Junzi River mentioned by the noodle stall owner.
He put He Baobao down.
Her legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was holding on to the hem of Tantai's clothes.
Tantai pinched his eyebrows and said helplessly: "Are you so scared?"
The mask can no longer be used. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was thrown away by Tantai.
"The looks in those people's eyes almost ate me up!!" He Baobao gasped slightly.
"As long as I'm here, they can't eat you."
Seeing a small amount of sweat on her forehead due to anxiety, Tantai put away the big red cloak around her neck.
"Big devil, why do you think that lantern suddenly flew towards me? The key is that it is still on."
He Baobao sat on the steps where the lanterns were placed, holding his chin with his little hand, unable to figure it out.
She just dropped a small ball and hit the goddess, but how could she become the destined one for the glazed lantern?
Tantai looked at her little one sitting there, downcast, like a wilted little quail.
He came up and sat next to her: "It's just a holiday trick, how can you take it seriously?"
He checked the lantern and found that there was nothing wrong with it. However, the prismatic gemstone in the middle was a bit strange and he had not yet had time to check it.
"If it hadn't lit up in my hand, I wouldn't have taken it seriously."
The key is that it shines in her hands so hard that it's almost lifeless. It's horrifying to think about it.
She turned back suddenly and looked at Tantai: "You said, then Hua Sangjun's soul won't come to me because of this, right?"
Looking at the little face that was as pale as a bloodless face, Tantai narrowed his eyebrows and said, "Congratulations, baby."
"Here." She responded subconsciously.
"When will you trust me for once, huh?" He clamped her cheeks, staring at him calmly, his voice trailing off, rustling, hoarse, and indescribably sultry.
"With me here, I can't let Lord Hua Sang's soul drag you away."
"If you are really uneasy, I will keep this glazed lantern for you first. Once the reason is found out, I will destroy it."
He Baobao rolled his big eyes, not knowing how to reply to him.
"I will handle this matter, you don't need to panic."
Tantai put his big hand on her head and stroked it gently.
He probably knew who the person behind this Lantern Festival was.
The big devil's rare moment of gentleness made He Baobao feel a little uncomfortable, and the tips of her ears were slightly red. She muttered coyly: "Actually, I'm not very scared either."
She was just a little confused as to why the glazed lantern lit up in her hand, which was a little scary. After all, the lantern had never been lit before, and this was the first time.
The rushing river flows in front of you, with many exquisite lanterns floating on it, vaguely filled with blessings, and some even hanging red candles.
He Baobao remembered what the noodle stall owner said.
Put the lanterns filled with wishes into the Junzi River, and your wishes will come true.
A smile suddenly appeared on his little face: "Big devil, I don't want to worry about the glazed lanterns anymore. How about we put out the lanterns and pray?"
Tantai saw that her eyes were sparkling, not as bright as before, and he immediately burst into laughter.
As expected, he is a child, and his emotions are unpredictable.
He curled his lips: "Since I am playing with you today, you make the decision."
He has been playing with her for so long, and now that he is out, if he doesn't let her have fun anymore, she will definitely make trouble with him when she goes back.
"Then I'll buy lanterns." He Baobao saw a vendor on the bridge selling lanterns for praying.
Tantai nodded: "Go ahead, I'm waiting for you here."
He was already tall, but now he was sitting on the steps with his long legs curled up like He Baobao, which made him look a little more bohemian in his comedy.
"Kekeke..."
He Baobao jumped up, knowing that it was uncomfortable for him to sit like this, so he took out the small spoon she usually sat on from the space ring and handed it to him.
"Well, although it's a little smaller, it's still better than sitting on the ground."
Tantai glanced at it. It was so small that it couldn't even fit half of his butt. He could tell at a glance that it was for a child.
He refused: "I don't need it."
Even though it was uncomfortable to sit like this, he couldn't bear to use this little thing. Besides, why did he have to sit? He could always stand.
Thinking like this, Tantai stood up calmly: "Go quickly, there won't be any good-looking styles if you go late."
He Baobao raised his eyebrows, stuffed the little tuna into his arms, and ran off to buy lanterns.
Tantai looked at the small tadpole in his hand and pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
After taking a serious look at him, I determined that I couldn't bear him, and then I threw him into the ring decisively.
After a while, I saw the little thing coming over with two beautiful lanterns.
She handed one of them to Tantai: "This is yours."
"Do you want to let me go too?" Tantai had a rare look of confusion on his face.
"Of course, who wouldn't come here if they don't put out lanterns?"
On the shore opposite the two of them, many people came and went. They all came to put out lanterns and pray, and some even closed their eyes piously to pray.
He Baobao directly stuffed the lantern into his arms, took out two writing brushes and said: "I just asked the vendor, he said that when putting out lanterns to pray for blessings, you must not be knocked over by the river on the way, otherwise your wish will not come true."
Tantai frowned: "I never believe this."
People who practice Taoism have always believed only in the laws of heaven and earth, and he has always believed only in himself. He does not even believe in heaven, let alone this illusory thing.
He Baobao: "I don't believe it either."
These things are all fake, and she naturally knows them.
She said calmly: "We're here now, but the important thing is to participate. What's important is to enjoy the process."
The sound of the small mouth made Tantai's forehead bulge. He pursed his lips and silently took the brush she handed over, as well as the special ink to ensure that the writing would not be wetted by the water.
He Baobao bared his teeth: "Remember to write carefully, don't be perfunctory."
This person has been in the demon world all year round. If she didn't take him to play with her all the time, he would probably even disdain her.
"Um."
After getting the answer he wanted, He Baobao went to a place far away from him and quietly wrote down his wish.
"Why are you running so far away?" Tantai thought she was avoiding him and was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't peek at your wishes, or they won't work." This chapter has been completed!
