Chapter 300 Eternal Night Star River 22
The Lantern Festival has always been an event that people look forward to, especially when everyone releases lanterns together, the scene is extremely lively and exciting.
However, who could have expected that a sudden accident would break this joy and peace.
I saw exquisite lanterns slowly rising into the night sky, like stars falling to the earth.
But at this moment, a spark from one of the lanterns accidentally fell off and landed squarely on the granary of Taicang County.
In an instant, the flames spread rapidly, and the raging fire instantly engulfed the entire granary.
Ling Miaomiao was originally immersed in this beautiful atmosphere, but when she heard the news that the granary was on fire, her face suddenly turned pale.
You know, she always thought that her father, Prefect Lin, was an out-and-out corrupt official.
Now that the granary has caught fire, if any problems are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is possible that the house will be ransacked in advance and the family will be destroyed.
Thinking of this, Ling Miaomiao became extremely anxious and ran towards the granary without saying a word.
Fortunately, my companions were very helpful.
We took decisive action and put out the fire in time before it got out of control.
Looking at the gradually dying flames, Ling Miaomiao's anxious heart finally settled down a little. After taking a long breath, she trotted to the side of her father, the prefect Lin.
At this time, Lin's father was also frightened, but when he saw that his daughter was safe and sound, his expression eased slightly.
The two of them huddled together, whispering something to each other.
As soon as Father Lin finished speaking, Ling Miaomiao's tense body seemed to relax all of a sudden, and a hint of relief reappeared on her face.
After the fire was completely extinguished, everyone began to count the losses in the warehouse.
As boxes of gold, silver and treasures were carried out, the wooden box held by the envoy from Shengjing standing nearby suddenly began to vibrate continuously, and no matter how hard he pressed it, he couldn't hold it down.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" and the wooden box exploded.
A small golden toad jumped out from it. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed all the gold and silver in the box effortlessly.
As the gold and silver entered the toad's stomach, the toad's body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it grew several times larger.
Ling Miaomiao was so shocked by this scene that her mouth opened wide. It took her a while to come back to her senses and blurt out, "Wow, what a big... what a big toad!"
The governor Lin didn't care about whether it was a toad or not. He just stared with wide eyes and a look of heartache at the boxes of gold, silver and treasures that were constantly decreasing.
You know, these are all the assets he has accumulated over the years!
Thinking of this, he became extremely anxious, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Quick! Stop it for me! Don't let it swallow me anymore!"
Prefect Lin jumped up and down, shouting and waving his arms anxiously, urging his men to find a way to stop the golden toad that was madly devouring gold and silver.
On the other side, Mu Ziqi stood aside leisurely with his arms folded across his chest.
After hearing Ling Miaomiao's surprised words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and he sneered: "Huh, how ignorant! This is not an ordinary toad, but a shadowless golden toad, specializing in devouring gold, silver and other valuables."
However, despite Mu Ziqi's sarcastic words, his hands were actually not slow at all.
After all, he grew up in the demon world since he was a child, and he knows the habits of various monsters very well.
He knew very well that the Shadowless Golden Toad could not be killed easily. If he did so, the gold, silver and treasures in its stomach would disappear.
With his extraordinary cultivation, Mu Ziqi quickly succeeded in subduing the Shadowless Golden Toad and made it spit out all the gold and silver in its belly.
Seeing the glittering gold, silver and treasures all over the ground back in front of her eyes, Ling Miaomiao couldn't help but smile.
She raised her head, smiled sweetly at Mu Ziqi, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Ziqi."
When Mu Ziqi saw Ling Miaomiao's sweet and lovely smiling face, which was like the warm sunshine in spring, he was stunned for a moment.
That smile seemed to have a magical power that made Mu Ziqi's eyes flicker unconsciously.
However, just a moment later, he seemed to suddenly realize something, turned his head sharply, and quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.
But even such a subtle movement exposed his ears, which had already turned red and hot.
Ling Miaomiao naturally did not miss Mu Ziqi's series of cute reactions. Seeing him so innocent and shy, her beautiful eyes suddenly smiled like a crescent moon.
next day
Above the sky, amidst the clouds and mist, Lin Jiu was quietly nestling in Donghua's warm and broad arms.
The two of them sat leisurely on a flying spirit boat, which was moving quickly in the air.
Lin Jiu raised his head slightly and asked softly, "Donghua, have you told Ziqi that we're leaving first?"
It turned out that because Lin Jiu was pregnant, in order to allow her to rest in peace, the two of them discussed it and finally decided to separate from Mu Yao and others temporarily.
Donghua smiled and looked down at the person in his arms. He reached out and gently stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant. His eyes were filled with endless tenderness and love.
He only replied softly, "Don't worry, I've already told him."
At this time, Mu Ziqi, who was on the other side, was standing alone in an empty room.
Looking at the deserted scene in front of him and the words "Gone, don't disturb" left by the Dust Demon on the ground, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.
