Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

Hold me…

"what?"

"... "

"Hehe, okay then~"

"You can hold me for a little while, but you have to put me down when we get to the bubble tea shop!"

"What to drink?"

"...Xingyu Bobo, did you hear what I just said?" The little diviner sat in Yu Chen's arms, staring at him with a serious expression.

The Sword Saint nodded, cleared his throat, and said earnestly, "I promise to follow the instructions of the Grand Diviner!"

"Okay, then, I'm off."

She nodded in satisfaction, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, gave the obedient Yu Chenchen a kiss.

The warmth on his forehead ignited the Sword Saint's fighting spirit to serve his leader!

Heading towards the bubble tea shop, let's go!

Chapter 256 Riddles

Although most immortal beings don't care much about such a short year, some immortal beings even devote decades or even hundreds of years to something they are immersed in.

But it was still a celebration of moderate size, and with the encouragement of the Chamber of Commerce and the influence of the outsiders, Luofu was much more lively than usual.

The street was lined with stalls selling food, drinks, and entertainment. Yu Chen, holding the hand of Xiao Fu Xuan who was drinking milk tea, stopped in front of a stall where people were guessing riddles.

The Grand Diviner's handling of this kind of game was a complete game of subversion. She didn't need to rely on divination or divine insight; her vast and terrifying knowledge and her brilliant mind alone were enough to crush everything.

The stall owner was a local from Xianzhou, and seemed to be a resident of Taibusi. He recognized Fu Xuan at a glance.

He gave a wry smile and looked at the two of them, saying, "If you want a gift, Lord Taibu, we'll just give it to you... As for these riddles, let's leave them for someone else to play with?"

Fu Xuan blinked, holding the cup with a hint of surprise.

She knew the riddles, but she rarely went out and had never tried one herself. She was thinking of showing off her skills in front of her husband, but she never expected the shopkeeper to make such a request...

Although, it was still pretty fun~

The boss clearly knew how powerful the diviner was, which is why he said such a thing.

However, doing so would be a bit unfair to them. Fu Xuan shook his head, pushed Yu Chen forward, and said, "I won't play anymore. Let my husband do it. He's not very bright, so I won't remind him. You can just set up the stall without worry."

Yu Chen wrinkled his nose and stared at her for a while with some displeasure.

"Wife, you're calling me stupid! How am I stupid? I'm clearly very smart!"

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead and try it. Didn't you just want to have some fun?"

Fu Xuan gave him a perfunctory yet earnest response, his expression indifferent and composed.

Yu Chen gave a soft snort, released her hand, and took two steps forward to stand in front of the boss.

"I come!"

The boss smiled, his expression immediately relaxing.

He had long heard of this man's reputation; he was the husband of the Grand Diviner of Luofu, and he accompanied the Grand Diviner on his daily strolls through the streets. Even if people weren't familiar with him, they were bound to be familiar with him...

I've heard that he was once a military general on par with General Jingyuan. However... while the general's wisdom and strategy are unparalleled, this man... while his martial arts are superb, I really don't know if he's actually smart.

However… judging from his appearance, he is probably far inferior to the Grand Diviner. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Even if he wins some prize money, it's not bad. After all, the presence of the Grand Diviner attracts a lot of people.

He would welcome her as long as she doesn't participate!

"Alright, I remember you were Mr. Yu Chen, right? I heard that you cleansed Luofu, bringing abundant harvests and eradicating evil, allowing our lives to get back on track sooner. I am truly grateful!"

"Yes, Yu Chen deserves a lot of credit for Luo Fu being able to catch his breath so quickly this time."

Fu Xuan smiled, crossed his arms, and nodded proudly.

She was happy when her husband was praised!

Yu Chen scratched his face and waved his hand, saying, "Alright... it's not just for Luo Fu, there's nothing to brag about, let's get started."

He simply wanted to reduce his wife's work pressure and help Luo Fu recover quickly; it was just a side effect.

Although he did a good deed overall, he felt a little embarrassed when people kept praising him for it.

He was no longer the general who would fight recklessly for the sake of the Celestial Ship...

All I want now is to live a peaceful life with my wife.

The boss smiled and said nothing more. He walked to the side and pulled back the red cloth strip hanging under the lantern that was floating in mid-air, revealing a wooden board.

There was a riddle engraved on it, and he began to recite it, shaking his head.

"Our first riddle isn't difficult."

[Looking up at the bright moon] (Guess the name of a medicinal herb)

Yu Chen blinked, and the first thing that came to mind was a certain little dragon girl. She should be able to guess this right away, right?

Of course, Fu Xuan would also get the answer at a glance!

He pondered for a moment, but he wasn't really stumped here. After years of traveling on the battlefield, injuries were inevitable, and he was naturally familiar with some famous medicinal herbs. After a little consideration, he came to a conclusion.

"Everyone says that gazing at the moon makes one homesick, so this medicinal herb... [Angelica sinensis], is it it?"

The boss smiled and paused for a moment. Just when Yu Chen thought he had failed at the first hurdle, he clapped his hands and looked at the crowd behind him, saying, "That's right~ it's Dang Gui! You all may not know, but our guest here is the husband of the current Grand Diviner of Luofu. He is a man of superb martial arts skills and also one of the most intelligent!"

This immediately drew gasps of amazement.

Yu Chen was a little helpless, but he wanted to attract customers and do business, so he didn't bother to say anything more.

Since you mentioned Fu Xuan, let him use your name.

"Alright, let's look at the second one."

"Alright, sir, take a good look. This second riddle is twice as difficult as the last one."

The boss chuckled and ripped off the red cloth.

"A horse with four legs, no tail, no mouth; it doesn't move when someone rides it, it neither eats nor drinks." (Guess the object.)

"Hehe... This question isn't too difficult, but it's also easy... Once you figure it out..." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Chen waved his hand to interrupt him, saying calmly, "Stool."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Fu Xuan, winked at him, and smiled with a smirk that said, "My husband is amazing!"

Fu Xuan rolled his eyes at him, but also smiled slightly, unable to resist finding it funny.

To be honest, when Yu Chen went up there, she was a little nervous, worried that he wouldn't be able to figure it out at all.

After all, the Sword Saint's childish image is already deeply ingrained in people's minds...

Fortunately, my husband is quite capable!

Yu Chen, full of confidence, looked intently at the boss and said, "Next question!"

"Haha... Okay, next question!"

After guessing five riddles in a row, the boss started sweating profusely, worried that the guy would guess all the answers right away. Fortunately, the sixth riddle stumped him.

"【Sudden wealth breeds lust】Guess the Chinese idiom."

Yu Chen stared at it for a long time, looking left and right, east and west, and remained silent for a long time without answering.

The boss breathed a sigh of relief and said at the opportune moment, "It seems Mr. Yu Chen is stumped?"

Yu Chen sighed and helplessly shrugged.

There's nothing I can do; I've already exhausted my brainpower.

He turned back and looked at Fu Xuan pitifully. The Grand Diviner smiled gently, stepped forward, and took his hand to comfort him. Then he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "You've guessed five right now. Isn't there a reward?"

The boss chuckled, stepped aside, and revealed the truck covered with a red cloth behind him.

"Of course there are. Mr. Xiang Yuchen, who can guess five in one go, is a very skilled riddle-solving expert! He is truly exceptionally intelligent!"

"I hope you can win a second prize here!"

As he spoke, he pulled back the cloth…

Chapter 257 Year's End

The streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, with bright red lanterns hanging everywhere, like a dragon of lights floating in the city. People mingled shoulder to shoulder, flowing among the various stalls, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Yu Chen protected Fu Xuan, as if a barrier surrounded her, and no one could squeeze past her.

The little monk held a cat plush toy with a beaming smile, looking at it from left to right. His smile was incredibly bright, and he seemed to be very pleased with it.

"When I get back, I'm going to put it by my bedside."

"Just don't take my spot..."

Yu Chen glanced at her and saw that his wife was happy, so he was happy too.

That truckload of prizes was quite a lot.
