"Almost forgot about this. Zhu'er, hurry up and come with me to the Flower Throwing Festival. I, this young lady, absolutely must win that fox demon slave!"
"Then what about this person..."
The maid pointed at Xin Ci and asked Pei Xiu.
"A mere thief, how could they be as important as a cute fox demon loli? Let's hurry up and go, we can't let that fox demon loli be snatched away by those spoiled brats."
With that, Pei Xiu ran towards where the Flower Throwing Festival was being held.
"Wait for me, Miss."
The maid Zhu'er hurried to catch up, thinking, "As expected, as soon as the fox demon slave is mentioned, Miss stops causing trouble."
The people of the entire Jingchen Kingdom knew that the second daughter of the Pei family, Pei Xiu, had a strange personality and usually mingled with those spoiled brats.
Even stranger was the fact that this Miss Pei's preference was for cute little lolis, which made many people in Jingchen Kingdom wary of her.
Normally, when Pei Xiu went out, these people would hide their own young daughters at home, not letting them out, for fear of being abducted by this eccentric woman.
After Pei Xiu and Zhu'er left, Xin Ci was left stunned at the scene.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingqing felt a little proud and transmitted to Xin Ci, "See, we didn't do anything, and these two will leave on their own."
But to Mu Qingqing's surprise, after Pei Xiu and the other left, Xin Ci actually chased after them.
Huh?
Xin Ci, what are you chasing after them for?
A strange thought suddenly arose in Mu Qingqing's mind: "Could the male lead have fallen for Pei Xiu? Impossible, in the original work, Pei Xiu was just a passerby who wasn't even a supporting character."
Just as Mu Qingqing was lost in thought, Xin Ci transmitted, "Qingqing, those two just mentioned the Five Elements Spiritual Elixir, and it's at this 'Flower Throwing Festival' they mentioned!"
Mu Qingqing: "..."
"Eh, Qingqing, why aren't you speaking?"
"Nothing, so you chased after them for this reason?"
"Otherwise?"
Xin Ci touched his head in confusion. He had indeed followed them to find the Five Elements Spiritual Elixir at the location of the Flower Throwing Festival.
Mu Qingqing was speechless for a moment, and all she wanted to say was, "As expected of you, Xin Ci."
Speaking of the Flower Throwing Festival, Xin Ci was quite perplexed.
Could it be a unique festival of the Jingchen Kingdom?
So he asked Elder Han, "Elder Han, do you know what kind of festival the Flower Throwing Festival is?"
"Flower Throwing Festival?"
However, Elder Han also found this festival unheard of.
"As far as I know, the Jingchen Kingdom shouldn't have a Flower Throwing Festival. Could it be a new festival added in the years I've been away?" Elder Han said ambiguously, feeling strange.
Mu Qingqing, who had read the original plot, knew about the Flower Throwing Festival and explained with a slight smile.
"To be honest, this Flower Throwing Festival isn't really a proper festival. It's actually just an event where a group of spoiled brats in Jingchen Kingdom gather at the Feng Hua Pavilion to admire flowers and play 'tou壶' (throwing pots)."
"And the Flower Throwing Festival is just a festival that these bored people set up for themselves."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
After hearing Mu Qingqing's explanation, Xin Ci and Elder Han nodded as if enlightened.
But they had another question. Elder Han asked first: "Little girl, since the Flower Throwing Festival is a festival set up by those spoiled brats, and you, like Xin Ci, are visiting Jingchen Kingdom for the first time, how do you know so much about this Flower Throwing Festival?"
Elder Han could also infer that the Flower Throwing Festival should not have been established long ago, but why would Mu Qingqing, who was merely Xin Ci's second personality, know so much?
Often, Elder Han felt that Mu Qingqing was like a prophet, knowing everything.
Seeing Elder Han and Xin Ci looking at her with curiosity, Mu Qingqing didn't know how to explain for a moment.
She couldn't possibly tell them that she knew because she had read a novel, as Elder Han and Xin Ci would find it difficult to understand.
Suddenly, Mu Qingqing had an idea and said, "My Star Wheel Eyes have the ability to see through people's hearts. What that Pei Xiu was thinking just now was naturally known to me, so I knew these things."
"This is also your Eye Technique ability?" Elder Han asked in surprise.
He had witnessed Mu Qingqing's Star Wheel Eye Techniques multiple times.
He never expected that besides being able to absorb the souls of the Underworld Race, it could also read minds.
Elder Han sighed inwardly.
"Then, does that mean Qingqing, you know where Feng Hua Pavilion is?" Xin Ci asked.
"That's right."
Mu Qingqing nodded.
Then, under Mu Qingqing's guidance, Xin Ci found Feng Hua Pavilion.
When Xin Ci arrived at Feng Hua Pavilion, he saw that many people had gathered around it.
The people gathered here were the children of officials and nobles, all in fine robes, either playing with crickets or playing 'tou壶' and admiring flowers.
In the center of Feng Hua Pavilion, there was a large stone platform.
A fair-skinned, beautiful, petite, and adorable fox demon loli was locked in an iron cage, wearing a spirit-binding collar around her neck.
Many of the spoiled brats around cast lecherous glances at the fox demon loli, their eyes filled with lust.
The fox demon loli, stared at, curled into a small ball, hugging her fluffy tail and trembling.
Not only that, but Xin Ci also noticed that various brocade boxes were placed on the stone platform.
Activating his Breaking Void Golden Eyes, Xin Ci's eyes turned orange-gold as he scanned the pile of brocade boxes.
Most of the brocade boxes contained spiritual medicines and spiritual artifacts, but one brocade box held an exquisite small jade bottle, inside which was the Five Elements Spiritual Elixir he was looking for.
After confirming it was the Five Elements Spiritual Elixir, Xin Ci retracted his Breaking Void Golden Eyes divine ability.
Next, he wanted to know how to obtain the Five Elements Spiritual Elixir.
"Eh, this brother looks unfamiliar. Are you attending the Flower Throwing Festival for the first time?"
At this moment, a man approached and asked.
Xin Ci smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, I am. May I know your name, friend?"
"My name is Wang Bin, and yours?"
"Xin Ci."
"So it's Brother Xin Ci. I saw you staring at that fox demon slave for so long just now, you must be interested in her too, right?" Wang Bin chuckled and said.
Although Xin Ci sympathized with the fox demon slave's plight, his main objective was not her, but the Five Elements Spiritual Elixir.
So he asked, "Brother Wang Bin, do you know why those things on the stone platform are displayed there?"
Wang Bin grinned slyly and said, "Stop pretending, brother. Just say it if you want that slave. But I can tell you that everything on that stone platform, including the slave, are prizes for the 'tou壶' competition."
"Tou壶 competition?"
"Hmm? You don't know? The 'tou壶' competition is an important event of the Flower Throwing Festival, and anyone can participate."
"So, only the winner of the 'tou壶' competition can get the prizes on the stone platform!" Xin Ci asked.
"Naturally. However, we can't compete with the Four Young Masters of Jingchen."
"Who are these Four Young Masters of Jingchen?"
Seeing Xin Ci's earnest desire to learn, Wang Bin seemed a little surprised.
"No way, Brother Xin Ci, you must be from out of town, to not know the Four Young Masters of Jingchen."
