扒开女人两片毛茸茸黑森林

Chapter 209



Seeing that he was slowly becoming addicted to kicking the man on the floor, Ye Mu stifled back her laughter and grabbed his hand.

“Let’s leave! They’re coming!”

The Silent Master was somewhat unwilling to leave now. He was having a nice meal until he met him. As a result, he didn’t eat much today.

He kicked him with some force once again before he grabbed Ye Mu and flew directly out of the window. The reinforcements arrived on the second floor of the restaurant the moment they left. They were too late; Ye Mu and the Silent Master had already escaped, only two wounded men were left behind.

The two of them jumped out of the second floor of the restaurant. Even though it was quite a distance from the ground, it was effortless for the Silent Master.

At this time, Zhou Xu crawled up the window sill and shouted, “Hurry up and catch them! They tried assassinating a court official. Don’t let them get away with it!”

When the Silent Master heard their shouting and the sound of footsteps rushing towards them, he dragged Ye Mu along as they fled. Both of them ran very quickly, and only after running past one street, they managed to get rid of the people chasing after them. The two of them stopped at the end of another street as they gasped for breath. Suddenly, Ye Mu stomach began to growl. The Silent Master looked at the girl who had coerced him to do bad deeds in surprise. Ye Mu’s face was flushed red from running and her head was lowered as she gasped for breath. He couldn’t help but laugh at their situation.

The Silent Master appeared very alluring when he laughed, so the people passing by couldn’t help but look back at him. He was embarrassed when he noticed that other people were staring at him. He looked at Ye Mu and the two smiled at each other when their eyes met. They decided to look for another place to eat.

The two of them had street food such as sugar-coated hawthorn fruit and pastries. They strolled around the busiest street in the capital. In the evening, they went to a temple fair together. The temple fair was bustling with people today, so it was very lively.

After playing for a whole day, the Silent Master realized that he had never been as satisfied as he was today. At this time, he and Ye Mu stood in front of a row of lanterns. As long as they guessed the riddle on the lantern, they could have the lantern for free. The Silent Master stared at the lanterns intensely and refused to leave until he guessed one correctly.

Besides Ye Mu and the Silent Master, there were many men and women gathered here. The men racked their brains to solve the riddles on the lanterns, just so they can make their lover smile.

The most beautiful lantern was made from colored glass and had a white bottom. It looked simple yet elegant. Many people wanted the lantern, but none of them were able to correctly solve the riddle.

The riddle that was written on the lantern:

A pair of mandarin ducks played in the water while the butterflies longed for flowers.

The monarch had many wives, but who will manage to end up as his one true love?

The red bean roots yearned to grow, but in its previous life, it was planted in a concubine’s heart.

They will wait for the day they will finally meet, so they can enjoy spring, summer, autumn, and winter together.

T/N: It rhymes in Chinese and sounds much more romantic in Chinese. I loosely translated it, so it’s not 100% accurate.

It was a complicated and long riddle. The riddle seemed more like a love poem than a riddle. Many people failed to guess the correct answer to the riddle, so they could only move on and guess the riddles on the other lanterns. After all, there were many other lanterns here. Although some of the lanterns were ugly, the riddles on them were simple and easy to answer.

But the Silent Master refused to leave the beautiful lantern without guessing the right answer! He stood there meditating and pondering.

Ye Mu couldn’t help but tugged on his sleeve and said, “Give up. It would be strange for a monk to correctly guess the answer to a love riddle.”

Everyone was either discussing the riddles or bustling around, so no one heard Ye Mu’s words. They only took notice of the Silent Master’s appearance and decided to stand in front of the beautiful lantern along with him. As more time passed, more people crowded around due to the Silent Master’s beautiful appearance. Ye Mu barely had any place to stand as she was pushed around by the crowd.

The Silent Master was sullen, “Why have I never heard of these riddles before?”

He had solved many riddles in the past, but he had never heard of a riddle like this one.”

What did ‘seeing one’s true love in the reflection of the water, but not being able to express your feelings’ mean?

What did ‘it’s difficult to stay together until the dawn of time, but there was no time for them to express all their love for each other’ mean?
