Chapter 23: The Handsome Man's Dilemma

  Xiong Xiaotu's kiss was even more intense than last time, and no matter how much I wanted to push him away with both hands, it was all in vain.

  As his tongue went deeper, I felt like I had been poisoned, my body becoming softer and my mind increasingly unclear.

  Is this still my body? How can it be so soft? I feel like I'm surrounded by a sweet, intoxicating haze, and my hands involuntarily wrap tightly around his waist.

  Enjoying it irretrievably, she gently closed her eyes.

  It was a captivating kiss, as if time had stood still at this moment, while their bodies were tightly attached to each other.

  When the kiss ended, the sudden emptiness and chill gave me a fleeting sense of loss. I couldn't believe it was real? I had actually kissed Xiong Xiaotao to the point of being completely absorbed in it, and even more so, lingering on with no regrets!

  This is a real disaster, I actually have an interest in a beastman, although this is a very visually pleasing beastman.

  I stared at Xiong Xiaotu, who was still lying on me, and couldn't calm my emotions. I could only push him away in anger, stood up, stretched out my hand, pointed outside and shouted: "Get out of here quickly!"

  I want to use a sharp voice to cover up my confused emotions. What kind of concept is it when a normal woman takes an interest in a beastman? I don't want to be laughed at, but instead, I've unknowingly become the joke myself.

  Xiong Xiaotu looked at me and sighed, saying weakly: "Don't be angry, I'll just go out."

  He walked away with a listless face, but in his heart, that feeling of loss was still so profound.

  In order to find the man in green with a divine brush, on the second night, I and Xiong Xiaotu went out again to set up our stall.

  Jin Hongbao thought setting up a stall was boring, so he didn't follow us. However, I think this is also good, it's actually more convenient for me and Xiong Xiaotu to move around.

  "In short, the divine brush is very important to me, so this time no matter how many burnt buns he draws, you must not eat them, remember to grab his brush!" I can only explain the situation to Xiong Xiaotu in advance, because now I have no combat power at all, so the best person who can help me grab the brush is also Xiong Xiaotu.

  "Alright, I'll capture him alive, and then, let him draw lots of buns for himself to eat!" Xiong Xiaotu exclaimed with excitement. Looking at the sparkling light in his eyes, I seemed to know that he was now fantasizing about eating many buns.

  The happiness of a foodie is always simple, as long as there's something to eat. I thought of my younger brother Yan Zirong, who is also an out-and-out foodie. Every time he comes to visit me on his day off, all I need to do is treat him to some food and he'll be happy for the whole day.

  What if my younger brother suddenly comes to find me, but can't find me? Will he be worried? I don't want my loved ones to worry, so I must think of a way to return to the real world. Even if this task is tedious and long, it cannot stop my desire to go back!

  Actually, sometimes I also want to live as simply as Xiong Xiaotu, but this is impossible. I have unfinished dreams and I am not willing to live an ordinary life like this.

  At first, no one was interested in the gemstone, but later on, a crowd of women and girls gathered to ask questions.

  "How much does this cost?"

  "This is just a normal one or two, and that side's five. Anyway, I don't know how gemstones are priced, it's just based on how good they look and their brightness to set the price. As long as I can sell them, I don't care about anything else, after all, the gemstones were picked up for free, hehe, really looking forward to being able to afford road fees and equipment money!"

  Some of them took the money and sold the gemstones quickly, while others stood on the sidelines, picking up scraps and saying: "With this quality, it's also sold so expensively!"

  "This is a purely natural gemstone." I especially emphasized the three words "purely natural", as natural gemstones are always more valuable than processed ones.

  "This is the best value, only our family has it. If you don't believe me, go around and take a look." I dare to guarantee that when I strolled with Xiong Xiaotu, I didn't see any stalls selling gemstones. Even if there were jewelry stores, their gemstones were dozens of times more expensive than ours.

  Girl A looked at Girl B, then Girl B looked at Girl C. Afterwards, they didn't say anything and left dejectedly.

  *Sigh*... It's quiet again all of a sudden. I think it's time to pack up and go find the man in green clothes.

  Or maybe get a mobile stall, wouldn't that be better? This idea flashed through my mind, but it's still difficult.

  Then I consulted with Xiong Xiaotu, he thought it was feasible, so he went to buy two backpacks to hold the gems.

  I walked with Xiong Xiaotu, calling out as we went: "Selling gemstones, one or two liang for five taels each!"

  However, the effect of the mobile stall was quite ordinary, so I didn't bother calling after walking for a while.

  It's the same place as last time, but I didn't see the man in green clothes. Could it be that he isn't coming today?

  Just when I almost thought I should give up, Xiong Xiaotu suddenly pulled my sleeve and said mysteriously: "He's here..."

  As expected, the man in green also started moving over a few tables, preparing to set up a stall.

  If it's done openly, it may have little effect, so it can only be taken by strategy.

  My idea is this: I used to buy a lot of paintings from him and then, while he was painting, let Xiong Xiaotu catch him.

  With a steady gaze, I walked over slowly and deliberately. Today, both Xiong Xiaotu and I were in disguise, wearing ethnic minority-style clothing. Xiong Xiaotu was sporting a fake goatee, while I had a veil wrapped around my face.

  "Little brother, give me a basket of shaobing." I said it with great fanfare and grandeur, without even blinking an eye. Anyway, buying shaobing wasn't my real purpose, so whatever nonsense I spouted was my own business.

  "Alright, miss, just a moment, very soon." The man in the green shirt simply smiled lightly and began to draw the pancake.

  At this moment, Xiong Xiaotu quietly approached the man in green and grabbed his hand that was holding the roasted flatbread.

  I also rushed towards the man in green like a madman who didn't care about his life, wanting to grab the pen.

  "So your goal was this pen?" The man in the green shirt smiled mysteriously, then he took out another identical pen from his sleeve.

  I was stunned for a moment, how could there be two divine brushes? Or is one real and the other fake?

  Just as I was in a panic, Xiong Xiaotu had already snatched the pen from his right hand.

  But his left hand also had a pen that was exactly the same, so which one was the real one?

  "That pen is fake, hehe......" The man in green shirt smiled, his smile was extremely charming.

  Xiong Xiaotu looked at the man in green and asked in a low voice: "Is that really true?"

  The man in the green shirt listened to Xiong Xiaotu's words, then pulled out a bag from behind his back. He poured it inside and they were all pens, including the one in his hand was mixed in with them.

  "It's really inside, you can look for it slowly." The man in green shirt said with a provocative gaze.

  My mind was suddenly in a mess, the divine brush mixed with a bunch of identical brushes, which one is real? Can't be stupid enough to try one by one, this difficult problem really got me, what should I do now?
