Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

Of course, the little assistant didn't know all of this!

At this moment, Lin Mian was attracted by all kinds of small stalls.

He didn't like shopping in the past. There was no other reason, but mainly because of poverty. If he couldn't buy something he liked, he might as well not watch it.

But at this moment, the stalls on both sides of Qingshiban Road can’t see the end, the orange lanterns are swaying in the wind, and the stall owners are all grotesque, with warm and joyful smiles on their fluffy faces, and the whole market is full of fantasy and gorgeous color.

Lin Mian seemed to have entered an illusory dreamland, and the hustle and bustle in front of him seemed so unreal.

"Although it can't be compared with the monster market in Qingqiu ten years ago, the Feng family has worked hard, at least there are quite a few monsters here." Hu Qiaoqiao snorted.

Insufficient aura in the human world, coupled with the loss of human faith, the Phoenix family is gradually declining, and the influence of the name of the leader of the auspicious beasts among the monsters is getting lower and lower. Not to mention the little monsters, this time to participate in the demon city Most of the powerful big monsters are looking at the face of the old patriarch Feng Qi.

"Lin Lin!" The twins waved at him in front of him, Lin Mian came back to his senses, and trotted over with a smile.

Yimu held a light yellow feather coat in his hand. It didn't look very gorgeous, but it was quite textured.

"What is this?" Lin Mian was curious.

"A coat made of fat wool." Er Mu put the feather coat on her body, and her sleeves were pulled down long, like a showman, Lin Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Try it." Wu Ting picked a blue one from the booth and handed it to him.

There is a record in the "Xishan Jing": there is a bird Yan, its shape is like an owl, with a human face and one foot, it is called Lifei, and when you see summer stings in winter, you will not be afraid of thunder if you take it.

The human-faced bird, which looks like an owl, has only one leg. It comes out to move around in winter and dormant in summer. Clothes made of its feathers are not afraid of thunder.

Lin Mian took it obediently. The clothes had wide robes and large sleeves. The little assistant's skin was fair, and the blue color made his temperament more gentle, less youthful and more youthful.

"The customer really has a discerning eye. This color is really suitable for Mr. Xiao!" The stall owner is a fat man who has turned into his original shape. He is still wearing the same style as the model on his fat body. The style is similar to Lin Mian's, but the color is very fancy. It looks very festive.

Lin Mian didn't believe his rainbow fart, so she went to ask everyone in the research institute, only to find that Wu Ting, Mr. Qi, Hu Qiaoqiao, the twins, and even Xiaomei were all gone behind him.

"Hey, they said to go ahead and have a look first." The director Wu explained in a pretentious manner.

Everyone: No, we just don't want to be light bulbs, thank you!

Lin Mian nodded. A team of seven people is indeed too big, and it is more convenient to move in groups of several people: "You won't get lost with one eye and two eyes, right?"

Lin Mian was a little worried about the twins.

The dean thought, even if you get lost, they won't, Lovebird's ability to recognize the way is engraved in his bones, but in order to appease the little assistant, he still said: "No, Gouwei will follow them."

Brother Wei is careful, and Lin Mian is relieved that he will take care of the two younger ones.

"Very nice." Wu Ting said suddenly.

"What?" Lin Mian didn't respond.

The dean pointed to the coat on his body.

"Really?" Lin Mian was embarrassed by his praise, and subconsciously touched her hot ears.

"En." Wu Ting nodded and helped him fasten the belt on his clothes. Lin Mian raised his hands slightly, as if he wanted to come by himself, but put them down halfway.

Wu Ting was about ten centimeters taller than him. At this time, he lowered his head slightly, his slender fingers passed through the buckle belt, his movements were meticulous, his expression was focused, his usual sharp eyebrows became soft, and it seemed that there were only those two thin belts in his eyes.

"Okay." A deep and pleasant voice came from above his head, interrupting his trance.

"Thank you, Dean." Lin Mian said.

This time, Wu Ting did not say you are welcome as a gentleman like before, but watched him remain silent, just when Lin Mian thought he would not respond, the dean leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What are you doing?" How are you going to thank me?"

The warm breath brushed over Lin Mian's ear, causing goosebumps, which made him subconsciously want to avoid it, but the little assistant held back and muttered, "I didn't ask you to help tie it."

Tsk, little heartless...

Dean Wu was so angry, Assistant Lin glanced at him secretly, then smiled softly, Xiaolu's eyes were bent like crescent moons.

The dean is angry, but Lin Mian is not afraid of him at all now, because the little assistant is very courageous!

"Well, my lord, have we paid the money, hehe?" The stall owner watched for a long time, the two of them praised their appearance, tied their belts, and whispered to each other. It hurts my eyes, even though you are Master Wu who is admired by all monsters, you can't hurt a single dog like this!

"Charge it to my account." Dean Wu said lightly, stopping the little assistant from taking out the kit. Lin Mian originally planned to pay by herself, but after thinking about it, the 100 million demon coins were also the dean's money. There is no difference.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage!" Lu Fei sloppily made a note in a small notebook, and then respectfully watched the two leave.

The nearby stall owners all cast envious glances at him. Master Wu has a detached status in the demon world, and he hasn't shown himself in the demon market for hundreds of years. Xiao Xiao has a kind of pride that is radiant.

The twins didn't lie to him, the market for monsters is more lively than the temple fair in the human world, there are white-tailed foxes playing gourd silk on the side of the road, and a small porcelain bowl is placed on the ground to perform.

Lin Mian recognized that he was actually not a fox, but a small animal called 朏朏, which is said to relieve people's sorrows after being raised.

Not far away, a civet cat wearing a floral shirt was selling stewed stew, and his naive appearance reminded Lin Mian of crispy noodles.

A string of brown stewed stew looks similar to the real world, but the aroma is more attractive.

Lin Mian couldn't help but follow the scent and walked over. There was a price list hanging in front of the booth. There were meat and vegetables on it. The price was several times more expensive than ordinary Oden. The names were also very strange. , Slippery Fish Roe Lucky Bag...

"Mr. Xiao, would you like some?" Gan Crispy Noodles asked enthusiastically.

Lin Mian touched the kit in his pocket, nodded, and then asked Wu Ting very generously, "Do you want it, Dean? I'll treat you!"

Wu Ting looked at him with a half-smile: Treat the boss to eat with the boss's monster coin, but you are very bad!

The little assistant looked back confidently: Then I won't invite you!

Lord Dean: ...

In the end, the stingy Assistant Lin didn't invite the boss to have stewed food, but gave him half of his own bowl. Dean Wu looked at Bai Shengsheng's fish balls, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched.

All the way Lin Mian ate, her ears were red all the way, and the heat on her face did not subside until she was in front of a ring stall.

The business on this stall is extremely hot, and there are many people around the inner and outer third floors, but most of them are monster cubs who drag their parents to patronize. Bookmarks and animal-shaped ceramic ornaments, and in the farthest reaches a row of Angry Birds the size of footballs.

Many people wanted to set up the row of plush birds, but unfortunately every time they missed it, Lin Mian suspected that the stall owner might have tampered with the bamboo ring.

"I want to try it." Lin Mian whispered to Wu Ting.

Of course the dean will respond to every request, don't talk about traps, you can trap him!

The little assistant paid the demon coins, and the stall owner handed him ten bamboo rings.

Lin Mian touched the bamboo ring, but found nothing strange. His target was also the Angry Birds, and it was the black one in the middle.

Don't ask why you don't choose other colors, just ask for eye-catching!

Lin Mian checked the distance with his eyes and started throwing the bamboo rings. Nine bamboo rings were quickly thrown out. Of course, none of them were caught. They were caught several times, but they were bounced away at the last moment. To be desperate, Wu Ting's deep voice came from above his head: "I will help you."

Lin Mian thought for a while, and obediently handed him the remaining bamboo ring. Dean Wu took the bamboo ring, glanced casually at the stall owner who was huddled aside to hold the quails, raised his right hand, and the bamboo ring easily caught it. the black angry bird.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and Lin Mian also laughed. He quietly tugged at the hem of Wu Ting's clothes beside him: "Dean."

"Huh?" Wu Ting tilted his head slightly.

"You are amazing!" The little assistant's eyes sparkled.

The stall owner, Pi Dian Dian, put the angry little black bird in a bag and handed it to Lin Mian, then gave Wu Ting a doggy salute.

Wu Ting didn't pay much attention to the other party's little tricks. Most people actually understand this kind of thing, so they just had fun.

Lin Mian held the little black bird in her arms, stroked the dull hair on its head, and thought it was very cute.

"Like it so much?" Assistant Lin was happy, and a smile appeared in Dean Wu's eyes.

"Yeah." Lin Mian nodded.

At this moment, the flow of people on Qingshiban Road separated to both sides, and a slightly familiar voice caught Lin Mian's attention.

"Master Wu!"

The person who came was Feng Tang, the current generation head of the Phoenix clan. Lin Mian had seen him before at the special management office, followed by a team of bodyguards in black suits. I just glanced at Lin Mian, and the moment I made eye contact with him, I quickly retracted it.

"Your Majesty Wu is here, and Fengtang is far away to welcome you!" This year's demon market was hosted by the Feng family, and the major shareholder showed up. As soon as Fengtang got the news, she hurriedly brought people over to greet her.

Wu Ting nodded expressionlessly.

"The auction will start in half an hour, and I specially reserved a separate box for the adults..." Fengtang put on a junior gesture.

Wu Ting didn't respond immediately, but turned to Lin Mian and asked, "Would you like to take a look?"

Compared with valuables, Lin Mian actually wanted to buy some snacks such as preserved fruit and jerky that are not commonly seen in the human world, and also to find out if there is any good tea.

However, there are probably a lot of strange and good things at the auction, so it's good to have a long experience...

"I can do it." Lin Mian pawed at the fur on the top of Angry Bird's head.

"Then go have a look."

The two mingled into Fengtang's team, and the bear boy Feng Qi looked around, sneaked up to Lin Mian while everyone was not paying attention, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"?" Lin Mian black question mark.

"I mean, you are a human being, and it's okay to work in a research institute. The monster market is mixed with fish and dragons. Do you think everyone is as easy-talking as our Phoenix? Be careful not to become a meal for other monsters!" Feng Qi frowned deeply, as if Really worried about him.

"Are you ready to talk now? Why do I remember that some dead kid tried to sack me in the alley half a month ago?" Lin Mian raised her eyebrows.

Feng Qi blushed with anger when he saw him turning over old accounts: "A dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't know a good heart, so I don't care about you anymore!"

The bear boy returned to his brother angrily and ignored him.

Lin Mian shook her head without a smile.

Walking along the roadside stalls for about 10 minutes, you can see a huge lake. The surface of the lake is wrinkled by the cool night wind, making circles and ripples. There is a small clump of blooming lotus in the corner. The side has been cleared out, and a pearl bird is squatting at a certain distance, and the stalls turn around and continue to extend in the other direction.

The auction Fengtangkou was talking about was held in the exquisite small building in the center of the lake.

The author has something to say:

Assistant: Treating the boss to eat is such a heroic gesture!
