Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After experiencing the strange bathing task in the bathhouse, Qin Feng and his companions finally got a moment of rest. Taking advantage of this time, they decided to go to the town near the Soul Master Academy to relax.

"There aren't any training missions today, right?" Chu Tian stretched and yawned, "We can really take a good rest."

"Don't worry, today is a day to relax." Ye Li said with a smile, "There is a market in the town near the college. I heard it is very lively. Why don't we go and have a look?"

Zhang Meng immediately raised his hand to show his agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! I heard that there are a lot of delicious food at the market. I have wanted to go there for a long time!"

Qin Feng nodded, "Then go ahead, but don't forget to be careful, who knows if there will be any accidents."

They chatted and laughed along the way until they arrived at the market in the town. The market was bustling with people, vendors were shouting enthusiastically, and the variety of goods was dazzling.

"It's so lively here!" Ye Li couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the various stalls.

"Look at this!" Chu Tian ran to a stall and pointed at a glittering bottle, "This is the legendary 'teleportation dust'! Sprinkle a little and you can teleport anywhere!"

"Is it true?" Zhang Meng looked at the bottle with suspicion, "It feels like a lie."

The stall owner was an old man with an unshaven beard. He blinked his eyes and said mysteriously, "Don't believe it? I can show you."

He picked up the bottle and spilled a little at his feet, then suddenly he disappeared, only to reappear on the other side of the stall seconds later.

"Wow!" Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were stunned. "This is too amazing!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "However, we should not try this kind of thing casually. There are always some unreliable goods in the market."

"That's right." Ye Li agreed, "Let's go check out other stalls."

As they walked, they were attracted by a strange shop. There was a sign hanging on the door of the shop that read "Fantasy Shop - Satisfy All Your Fantasies".

"This sounds interesting." Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Of course!" Zhang Meng couldn't wait to push open the door, "Maybe there are more fun things here!"

As soon as they walked into the store, they were shocked by all kinds of strange items. There were flying brooms hanging on the wall, crystal balls suspended in the air, vases that changed color... It was like walking into a magical world.

"Wow, this place is so cool!" Chu Tian's eyes lit up as he walked to a teapot that could automatically pour tea. "This thing can pour tea by itself, it's so convenient!"

At this time, the shop owner, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe, slowly walked over and said with a smile, "Welcome to my fantasy shop. Everything here is full of magical power."

"Shopkeeper, are these things real?" Zhang Meng asked curiously, "Can we buy them to play with?"

"Of course, each item has its own unique magical effect." The shopkeeper replied, "However, I suggest you choose carefully. Some items may look fun, but they actually have special conditions."

At this moment, Ye Li was attracted by an ancient mirror. The mirror looked ordinary, but when she approached, she saw another version of herself in the mirror. This "Ye Li" was smiling at her and winking at her mischievously.

"This mirror... why is it like this?" Ye Li reached out to touch the mirror in surprise, but found that the person in the mirror was doing exactly the same thing.

"This is a 'real mirror' that can reflect another self deep inside you," the owner explained. "But be careful, the self in this mirror has its own thoughts."

"It's amazing!" Chu Tian came over to see what he looked like in the mirror, but three "Chu Tians" appeared in the mirror, each making a different face.

"Haha, this is really interesting!" Chu Tian laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "I thought I was the only one who was so handsome!"

Zhang Meng was attracted by a fruit knife that could peel the fruit automatically. He picked up an apple and placed it next to the knife. The knife actually flew up and began to peel the fruit by itself. Unexpectedly, halfway through the peel, the knife suddenly turned and almost cut Zhang Meng's hand.

"Wow! This is too dangerous!" Zhang Meng quickly retracted his hand, "It seems that we have to use it with caution."

Qin Feng walked to a seemingly ordinary lantern. He picked up the lantern and found that there was a faint light flickering on it.

"What is this?" Qin Feng asked the shop owner.

"That's the 'Lantern of Destiny', which is said to illuminate your future path." The shopkeeper explained, "However, using it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, which ordinary people may not be able to bear."

Just as they were exploring these magical items with great interest, the door of the store suddenly slammed shut and the lights around them dimmed. The owner smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "It seems that you have already chosen the items you like."

"We don't want to buy anything!" Ye Li said nervously, "Shopkeeper, we are just looking around."

"The rule here is that once you come in, you must buy something, otherwise..." The shop owner's smile gradually cooled, "otherwise you will never be able to leave."

"What a joke! This is simply forced buying and selling!" Chu Tian shouted in dissatisfaction, "We don't want to buy! We want to get out!"

However, they tried several times but were unable to open the door. The items in the store began to become restless, brooms began to fly around in the air, the water in the teapot turned into ink, and a pile of slippery banana peels suddenly appeared on the ground, almost making Zhang Meng fall flat on his face.

"What the hell is going on?!" Zhang Meng was so angry that he jumped up and down, "We must find a way out!"

Qin Feng calmed down and looked around carefully. Suddenly, he thought of something. "Everyone, we can use 'teleportation dust'! Remember what we just saw? We can teleport out instantly!"

"Yes! Good idea!" Chu Tian quickly took out the teleportation dust he had just bought from his bag and sprinkled some on the ground.

"Get ready, hold on tight!" Qin Feng shouted, and everyone quickly gathered together. In an instant, they felt a strong dizziness, and then the whole world began to spin.

When they finally opened their eyes, they found themselves standing at the entrance of the market. The fantasy shop just now disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"We succeeded! We got out!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, "I never want to go into that weird place again!"

"It was so thrilling." Ye Li patted his chest, "Fortunately we reacted quickly enough."

Qin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It seems that today's relaxation time is a bit too stimulating."

"Yeah." Chu Tian looked around and confirmed that there were no more strange shops popping up. "I think we should go back and rest. We've had enough adventures today."

Everyone nodded in agreement and walked back with lingering fear. Although this unexpected trip to the market made them feel thrilling, it also made them understand a truth: no matter what situation they face, they must stay calm and work together to escape danger.

On the way back, Zhang Meng suddenly said, "But to be honest, the teleportation dust is really useful. Next time I see this kind of thing, I will try it again."

"Please, Zhang Meng," Chu Tian shook his head and smiled, "Can we not buy this kind of thing again in the future?"

In the laughter of their companions, they ended this unexpected adventure and returned to the academy with full of fun and experience, ready to meet the next challenge. Although they don't know what they will encounter in the future, they know that as long as they are together, there is no difficulty that they can't overcome.
