Chapter 57: A Chaotic Journey to the Temple Fair
Liu Yu and his companions were enjoying themselves at the market when the system's voice suddenly rang in Liu Yu's mind: "Host, a new mission has arrived. You need to find a magical spirit pearl at this temple fair, which can help you enhance your magical power."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's eyes lit up immediately: "Oh dear, another mission! Let's hurry and find the Spirit Pearl."
Everyone nodded and began to search carefully at the temple fair.
They arrived at a juggling stall, where an artist was performing fire-breathing, the flames shooting high into the air, drawing cheers from the audience.
Liu Yu couldn't resist getting closer to look, only to have her eyebrows burned by the sparks that were sprayed out.
"Ouch, my eyebrows!" Liu Yu jumped up, clutching her eyebrows.
Xu Xian laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight: "Liu Yu, you look so funny, like a weirdo without eyebrows."
Liu Yu glared at him: "Still laughing? Hurry up and find the Spirit Pearl."
They continued walking and came across a lantern riddle stall. The stall owner said that if they could guess three riddles correctly, they would receive a mystery gift.
Liu Yu thought to herself, "Maybe the Spirit Pearl is inside this mysterious gift."
So, full of confidence, he began to guess the riddles.
The first riddle is: "Red fruit hangs on a stick, coated with sugar and tastes delicious."
Liu Yu scratched his head: "What is this?"
Xiaoqing prompted from the side, "Brother-in-law, it's candied hawthorn."
Liu Yu suddenly realized: "Oh, it's candied hawthorn."
The second riddle is: "A black boy, who never speaks, but when he does speak, his tongue falls out."
Liu Yu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and she was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "They are melon seeds."
Liu Yu slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, how could I be so stupid?"
Finally, we come to the third riddle: "The eldest sister uses a needle but not thread, the second sister uses thread but not needle, the third sister lights a lamp but does not work, and the fourth sister does work but does not light a lamp."
Liu Yu was completely dumbfounded: "What is all this about?"
Xu Xian whispered from the side, "They are bees, spiders, fireflies, and katydids."
Liu Yu quickly answered and finally guessed all three riddles correctly.
The stall owner handed him a box, which Liu Yu opened with great anticipation. Inside was a toy that could fart.
"What the hell is this thing!" Liu Yu angrily threw the toy away.
Everyone burst into laughter.
They continued walking and came to a place selling snacks. Liu Yu saw a stall selling stinky tofu, and the stench wafted from afar.
Liu Yu said curiously, "This stuff smells bad, but it might taste good. I'll try it."
He bought a serving of stinky tofu, but after just one bite, the stench made him vomit.
"Ugh, this tastes awful!" Liu Yu's expression was one of great pain.
Just then, a child ran over and accidentally knocked over the stinky tofu in Liu Yu's hand, spilling it all over Liu Yu.
"Oh no, my clothes!" Liu Yu was on the verge of tears.
Xu Xian said, "Liu Yu, you've had the worst luck today."
Liu Yu said helplessly, "Stop talking, let's hurry up and find the Spirit Pearl."
They arrived at a fortune teller's stall. The fortune teller, seeing Liu Yu and the others, said mysteriously, "I see that your foreheads are dark; misfortune is sure to befall you soon."
Liu Yu said, "Stop talking nonsense, we're doing fine."
The fortune teller said, "If you don't believe it, then so be it, lest you regret it later."
Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, ignore him, he's definitely a liar."
They continued their search for the spirit pearl when they suddenly heard a quarrel.
It turned out that two vendors were fighting over territory.
Liu Yu stepped forward to mediate: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, let's talk this out."
As a result, one of the vendors punched Liu Yu in the face, making him see stars.
"Oh dear, what did I do to deserve this?" Liu Yu said, covering her face.
Bai Suzhen quickly pulled Liu Yu away.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find the spirit pearl. Liu Yu sat down on the ground, exhausted: "Where is this spirit pearl?"
Just then, Liu Yu saw an oddly dressed old man selling some strange and unusual things.
Liu Yu walked over and asked, "Old man, do you have any spirit pearls here?"
The old man glanced at him: "Spirit Pearls? We do have them, but they're not cheap."
Liu Yu said, "As long as you have it, money is not a problem."
The old man took out a box and said that the spirit pearl was inside.
Liu Yu opened the box and saw a sparkling bead inside.
Liu Yu said happily, "This is it, we finally found it."
Just as he was about to pay, the old man suddenly said, "Wait, this spirit pearl has a secret; only a destined person can truly possess it."
Liu Yu asked, "What secret?"
The old man said, "Place the spirit pearl in your palm and make a silent wish. If the spirit pearl emits a brighter light, it means you are the one destined for it."
Liu Yu did as the old man said, but the spirit pearl did not react at all.
Liu Yu asked anxiously, "What happened?"
The old man smiled and said, "It seems you are not the destined one; this spirit pearl cannot be sold to you."
Liu Yu said, "Old man, are you playing a trick on me?"
The old man said, "If you don't believe me, ask them."
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that the spirit pearl was not glowing.
Liu Yu helplessly returned the spirit pearl to the old man: "What bad luck."
Just as they were about to leave, Xiaoqing suddenly noticed a hole under the old man's stall, and something seemed to be glowing inside.
Xiaoqing went over and saw that it was the spirit pearl they were looking for.
It turns out the old man was a fraud, trying to swindle their money with a fake spirit orb.
Liu Yu said angrily, "Old man, how dare you lie to us!"
When the old man realized he had been exposed, he tried to escape, but Liu Yu and his men caught him.
They finally obtained the real spirit orb, and just as they were celebrating, the system spoke again...
