Si Mobai ignored the people around them. He just focused on talking to Feng Tianlan while interlocking his fingers with hers. When he saw something nice, he would ask her if she liked it. If he saw something that suited her, he would buy it.
The two of them behaved like an average married couple on the streets. They were loving and blissful, which made the people around them feel envious.
Feng Tianlan stood in front of a stall while looking at a concentric knot that was on display. She was quite tempted by it.
The peddler wanted to speak. However, when he saw Si Mobai standing behind her, he didn’t dare to open his mouth. That was the Demon King. Who knew whether he would kill him if he were to open his mouth?
“Lan’er, are you done?” Si Mobai lowered his head and asked softly.
Feng Tianlan shook her head. “Not yet,” she said. She hadn’t decided yet.
“Wait for me here. I will be back as soon as possible,” Si Mobai told her.
Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at him. “Alright.” She was just thinking about asking the peddler how to make a concentric knot.
After Si Mobai left, the peddler spoke immediately. “Is Your Highness planning to give this to the Demon King?” he asked.
Feng Tianlan just smiled without saying anything. She didn’t want the news of her buying him a gift to spread.
The peddler didn’t dare to probe any further. Instead, he just showed the concentric knot to her. “This concentric knot stands for long-lasting love and a bond that will never be broken. It also indicates that the two people in a relationship will always belong to each other.”
“The two people in a relationship will always belong to each other.” Feng Tianlan looked at the concentric knot. She was even more tempted now.
When the peddler saw her hesitating, he added on,” If Your Highness doesn’t like this concentric knot, you can take a look at this sachet as well. This can be a gift of thought and love. You can even put your hair in it, which stands for one’s wish to become the other’s wife.”
This person was accompanied by the Demon King himself. She was also the person on the bounty mission. She must be the princess consort that the Demon King was looking for. This sale was a big deal. If he were to tell people about this, he would definitely get a lot of customers.
Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked around. She was thinking about how Mobai might not be back soon. Therefore, she asked the peddler,” Can you teach me how to braid a concentric knot? I will pay you twice the money.”
She didn’t want to buy one. She wanted to braid one for Mobai instead, for him to tie it on his sword.
The peddler was surprised. He then replied with a smile, saying, “Alright.”
This was better than her buying it straight out. He could tell others that the Demon Princess Consort learned how to make a concentric knot from him. This way, it would be much easier for him to make a great sale.
Feng Tianlan stepped into the stall and stood beside the peddler. She watched him braid the concentric knot and listened to his explanations while braiding one herself.
Shi Yiqing was quite confused when he saw Feng Tianlan in the stall from afar. “Miss Feng?”
When Chen Xinlu, who was standing beside him, heard him calling out, she frowned immediately and looked off in the same direction as him. Her eyes brightened up instantly when she saw Feng Tianlan standing in the stall while braiding something.
“Brother Qing, I saw Miss Feng. Let’s go say hi.” Before he could even agree to that, she took Shi Yiqing by the hand and walked straight to the stall.
Feng Tianlan was focusing on the peddler’s instructions for braiding the knot. The two of them did not notice Shi Yiqing and Chen Xinlu’s arrival.
Chen Xinlu picked up a concentric knot that was displayed on the stall. She then looked at Feng Tianlan, whose head was lowered, and loudly asked, “How much is this concentric knot?”
When the peddler heard that, he immediately raised his head and replied with a smile, “One silver coin each.”
“I am not asking you.” Chen Xinlu tossed the concentric knot she was holding onto Feng Tianlan’s hand. “Hey, I’m asking you,” she said.
Shi Yiqing scolded her in a deep tone, saying, “Lu’er, how could you do that?”
When Feng Tianlan saw that her concentric knot was almost completed messed up by the woman, she raised her head and stared at her coldly. “Chen Xinlu, did you not learn from your last lesson?”
