Even Mu Qingqing showed a surprised expression and asked, "Xin Ci, is this really your first time playing Tou Hu?"
"I feel that Tou Hu is not difficult, as long as you relax your mind and focus a little more, you can hit it," Xin Ci replied with a faint smile.
"Is it that simple? How about this, Xin Ci, switch personalities and let me try."
Mu Qingqing was eager to try, her heart pounding with excitement.
Xin Ci did not hesitate, agreeing with a smile.
Anyway, he was in the lead now, so he might as well let this girl Mu Qingqing have a try.
After obtaining Xin Ci's consent, Mu Qingqing successfully switched personalities.
The Star Wheel pupils appeared.
"Xin Ci," now controlled by the second personality, Mu Qingqing, picked up a light feather arrow.
Many people around focused their gaze on her. Xin Ci's continuous nineteen successful shots had already surprised them.
Now they just wanted to see if Xin Ci could hit all of them.
Mu Qingqing felt the weight of the arrow in her hand. It was as light as a feather.
"Relax your mind, focus your attention..."
Mu Qingqing, with a serious expression, silently recited and threw the arrow towards the pot.
The onlookers' eyes followed the arrow.
"Is he going to hit it again..."
*Dong~*
With a light sound, Mu Qingqing's arrow landed a step away from her left foot.
For a moment, it was as if a flock of crows flew across the sky in formation. The scene was incredibly awkward.
The onlookers seemed bewildered.
Is this kid playing with us?
Mu Qingqing maintained the pose of having just shot the arrow, wishing she could dig a hole and disappear into it out of embarrassment.
Xin Ci, watching Mu Qingqing's awkward expression from the consciousness space.
Although he felt a little sorry for her, Xin Ci couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mu Qingqing's cheeks flushed red, and she transmitted her voice angrily to Xin Ci, "What are you laughing at? While I'm embarrassed, you're also embarrassed. Don't forget I'm your second personality."
"I know, but I still can't help it," Xin Ci chuckled lightly.
Hmph, male lead, you've gone bad!
Mu Qingqing was displeased and complained indignantly, "It's all because these arrows are too light. Otherwise, I would definitely have hit it."
The surrounding spectators were stunned to hear Mu Qingqing's words.
Don't all these arrows weigh the same?
You managed to hit them before, but this time you not only missed but also threw it less than ten centimeters away.
Is this kid playing us?
In the end, Xin Ci hit nineteen out of twenty arrows, standing out from everyone else.
The next best performers in Tou Hu were the Four Young Lords of Jingchen, each hitting fifteen or more.
Although Xin Ci's sudden appearance stole the spotlight from the Four Young Lords of Jingchen, Lin Ye, Ouyang Kai, and Yang Zihan did not mind.
To them, the Tou Hu competition was just a game, as long as they had fun.
But Pei Xiu was different. She was determined to win the fox slave.
Now that Xin Ci, this stumbling block, had suddenly appeared, she was quite displeased and shot Xin Ci a vicious glare.
Seeing Pei Xiu's angry expression, Ouyang Kai suddenly thought of an interesting idea.
Although they were all among the Four Young Lords of Jingchen, Pei Xiu, with her higher cultivation, often bullied the other three.
Seeing someone who could make Pei Xiu flustered, Ouyang Kai would not pass up this opportunity.
So he quietly approached Lin Ye and Yang Zihan and whispered a few words in their ears.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood and revealed sly smiles.
Pei Xiu turned her head and found that the three of them were now sitting together, whispering about something.
"Hey, what are you three secretly whispering about?" Pei Xiu asked displeasantly.
"Nothing, Pei Xiu. Don't you like that fox slave? We three have just discussed and decided to withdraw from the Tou Hu competition to fulfill your wish."
"Is that true? Hmph, I don't believe you would be so kind."
"Of course it's true. Pei Xiu, as the leader of the Four Young Lords of Jingchen, even if we didn't withdraw, we wouldn't be able to compete with you."
"That's true." Pei Xiu didn't think much of it, simply believing that the three of them knew they couldn't beat her and had wisely withdrawn.
Ouyang Kai, however, sneered inwardly, "This foolish woman, just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself!"
The three of them had conspired to secretly tamper with Pei Xiu's pot and arrows.
They wanted to make her lose publicly to an unknown nobody, and then they could mock her extensively and vent their frustration from always losing to Pei Xiu.
Even if that fox slave was exquisite, he was ultimately just a slave.
Compared to that, Ouyang Kai was more eager to dampen Pei Xiu's spirit and see her frustrated.
Lin Ye also spoke up, "Since that's the case, the final champion of the Tou Hu competition will be determined between Pei Xiu and that brother who just hit nineteen arrows."
As the organizer of this Flower Tou Festival, Lin Ye was also a quasi-judge and had a say.
Those who failed in Tou Hu shook their heads in regret. The prizes on the stone platform were now out of their reach.
However, they were still keenly watching the competition between Pei Xiu, one of the Four Young Lords of Jingchen, and Xin Ci.
"Brother, you're amazing! You're just one step away from becoming the Tou Hu champion. With your ability, I believe Pei Xiu won't be your opponent either." Wang Bin praised Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing gave an embarrassed smile inwardly, "With my Tou Hu skills, it's better to let Xin Ci do it."
Just as she was about to switch back to the main personality, Pei Xiu stood up from her seat, gazed at Mu Qingqing, and said imposingly, "What's the fun in competing in Tou Hu? Do you dare to compete in archery with me?!"
Upon hearing archery, Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed, "Let's compete."
Mu Qingqing secretly rejoiced. She had never been confident about Tou Hu, so switching to archery suited her perfectly.
Pei Xiu also had her own little scheme. She knew she couldn't beat Xin Ci in Tou Hu, so she wanted to find another way to win.
However, Lin Ye, Yang Zihan, and Ouyang Kai were dumbfounded.
Especially Lin Ye, he had already instructed people to tamper with the arrows and pots.
He was just about to watch Pei Xiu lose to Xin Ci, but now they weren't competing in Tou Hu anymore!
"Lin Ye, what should we do now?" Ouyang Kai quietly asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye immediately composed himself and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, I can still prepare a poor-quality longbow for her..."
"Let's start quickly. My Golden Crow Bow is already ready."
Lin Ye, Ouyang Kai: "..."
Can't this woman ever let their plan succeed?
Before the two of them could finish speaking, Pei Xiu spoke again, "I'd like to see what you'll use to compete with my Golden Crow Bow?"
Saying that, Pei Xiu took out a golden longbow from her spatial ring.
This golden longbow was luxuriously crafted, with a lifelike Golden Crow carved on its body, making it look extremely noble.
Mu Qingqing also noticed the extraordinary nature of the Golden Crow Bow. It seemed to be a mid-grade True Artifact.
With such a divine weapon, Pei Xiu's chances of winning increased significantly.
However, Mu Qingqing, although possessing many True Artifacts, did not have a single longbow.
Speaking of longbows, Xin Ci in the consciousness space scratched his cheek somewhat guiltily.
He seemed to have sold Mu Qingqing's Fire String Bow back then.
