Chapter 5238: 5.0990 Watching the Show with Your Life
Can't get out?
Why is there a barrier here?
Everyone retreated, utterly confused.
Is this what they call... watching a show with your life?
The little Crown Princess, however, was unaware of these peculiar citizens' predicament. She just watched Mu Xiaoxue with cold eyes for a long time.
She slowly parted her lips and said coldly, "Today, have you come here to die?"
Meanwhile, Qi Xuanxuan and Qiao Lin were leisurely strolling down Changle Street, picking out small sugar figurines at a candy stall.
"What's going on? Why is there a barrier here?"
Qi Xuanxuan took a few steps back, frowned, and gently touched the air in front of her.
A ripple of water passed by, and indeed, a faint barrier appeared where she pressed.
"Wow, what's happening, what's happening?" Little Liner, holding two small dough figures, ran up to Qi Xuanxuan, just in time to see two commoners turn away with dejected, shaking heads.
"Hey, stop, what are you two doing?" Qiao Lin, out of curiosity, called out to them and asked.
The two men sighed and said, "You noticed it too, didn't you? We can't get out now, we're forced to go back and watch the Crown Princess's show."
"Sigh," the other man was utterly dispirited. "Are they forcing us to watch a show with our lives? We actually don't want to watch, but we can't get out now, so what else can we do but watch?"
Little Liner couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. "Uncle, you actually really want to watch this show, don't you? You're just putting on such a wronged face. You don't have to go back, you can just stand here. This kind of barrier usually disappears on its own in an hour or two."
The two men, having their little scheme exposed, awkwardly rubbed their noses.
"What?" Qi Xuanxuan was stunned. "Where's the Crown Princess?"
"Right outside Cai Die Xuan. It's where all those people are gathered." One of the uncles pointed ahead and kindly said, "Two young ladies, you're still young, it's best not to risk your lives to watch the show."
Qi Xuanxuan's eyes moved, and she turned to wave at her drowsy companions sitting on the doorstep in a row. "Fatty, Fatty, Mata, Lu Yu, hurry up and come over."
Little Fatty Kou Hongwen immediately sprang up and ran to Xuanxuan's side with a fawning look. "Wife, any orders? Is it time to pay? Here, here."
"Give you a head!" Qi Xuanxuan playfully slapped his arm. "Someone secretly blocked Changle Street. They probably set up barriers in the streets both front and back. It seems to be targeting Qiao Qiao."
"What?! Who's so audacious, daring to secretly mess with our Qiao Qiao?" Kou Hongwen couldn't help but get angry.
The other companions, who had been slowly approaching, also gathered around upon hearing this. "What happened?"
"Let's go, let's go check it out outside Cai Die Xuan."
"Qiao Qiao's there?"
"Qiao Qiao reached Cai Die Xuan?"
"Yes." Qi Xuanxuan nodded, wrapped up the sugar figurines in her hand, shouted "Fatty, pay up!", and then led her companions, fuming, towards the entrance of Cai Die Xuan.
Who was so bold as to dare to trouble their Qiao Qiao? They must be tired of living!
"Good," Mata stretched his limbs, grinning. "I haven't moved since leaving seclusion. Today, I should be able to find someone to properly stretch my muscles!"
