Chapter 171: Four Adorable Emoji!

Seeing Lin Xuan casually write a poem, everyone present nodded silently.

They felt that Lin Xuan was handsome and peerless.

Perhaps his literary talent was also peerless and unprecedented.

“As expected of a literary saint. You’re so fast!” Wu Yongcai had a look of admiration on his face as he hurriedly walked forward. “Sir, let me recite these two lines for you!”

Seeing Wu Yongcai address Lin Xuan as sir, the scholars present were extremely shocked.

They had a strong feeling that Lin Xuan’s poem would cause a commotion.

When Wu Yongcai saw the poem on the paper, he nodded repeatedly with admiration.

Then, he loudly read the poem Lin Xuan wrote.

“One glance and a smile charms a hundred people.!”

Swish!

After the first verse was read, the crowd was in an uproar.

“What a good poem! Just this sentence describes her appearance and aura. It’s extremely vivid!”

“That’s right! There’s no common description of her appearance. Just the word ‘smile’ makes people imagine the beautiful scene of a beauty turning around and smiling!”

“What’s even rarer is that this smile is filled with charm and is extremely vivid. It’s as if this woman is born charming and beautiful!”

…

It was not just the passers-by.

Even Du Lingfeng couldn’t help but sway when he heard that, and he almost turned around.

“No, no! I have to wait for the next sentence!”

As a master of poetry and painting, Du Lingfeng determined that this verse was only the first half.

What he wanted to know the most now was how shocking the second half of the sentence was.

If the second half was not as good as the first half, he wouldn’t turn around.

“Grand Scholar Wu, what is the second half?”

At this moment, the surrounding crowd could not help but urge Wu Yongcai.

Wu Yong said loudly, “Everything in the palace pales in comparison!”

After he said this, everyone was silent.

Everyone was immersed in Lin Xuan’s literary talent and couldn’t extricate themselves.

Du Lingfeng, who had been facing everyone from the back for a full ten years, suddenly turned around!

“Wonderful! Truly wonderful!”

“The first half of the poem describes the beauty in the painting.”

“The second half highlights her beauty to the extreme!”

After Du Lingfeng stood up, he laughed crazily.

“I, Du Lingfeng, have painted and written poems for 2,300 years. I thought that this painting of a beauty was perfect and reflected the beauty of a woman.”

“But from the looks of it, even my painting can’t depict the beauty in these two lines!”

Wu Yongcai nodded and smiled. “Of course! Because the person who wrote these two lines of the poem is the current literary saint, the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort!”

“The current literary saint!”

North Mystic Heaven’s Consort!

As soon as these two titles were announced, everyone exclaimed in admiration.

“So the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort is the literary saint. No wonder he could capture Empress Mystic Ice!”

“The Consort has seen the appearance of a Heaven Immortal like Empress Mystic Ice and has boundless talent. That’s why he can write these two unprecedentedly brilliant phrases!”

“To be able to admire the Consort and witness him write such a shocking poem is such an honor!”

…

Amidst everyone’s praises, Du Lingfeng hurriedly went forward and bowed.

“So it’s the Consort. Please forgive me for my negligence just now!”

Lin Xuan smiled casually. “It’s okay. You’re passionate about paintings and poems. This persistence is worthy of admiration.”

“With your words, my life has not been in vain!” Du Lingfeng was overjoyed.

Today, he was able to receive both the literary saint’s masterpiece and his praise. He was really overjoyed!

Then, Du Lingfeng hurriedly took off his portrait. “This portrait has a connection with the Consort. Please accept it!”

Everyone present revealed envious expressions.

Du Lingfeng was known as a master of poetry and painting.

His painting was priceless and was worth collecting.

Not to mention, this painting of a beauty that gathered his lifelong talent was definitely priceless.

Wu Yongcai shook his head and smiled. “The Consort already has a Heaven Immortal like Empress Mystic Ice. Why would he need your portrait?”

Du Lingfeng was stunned for a moment before putting away his painting and nodding repeatedly.

“Yes, yes, yes! Her Majesty is peerlessly beautiful. After seeing her, how could the Consort like my humble work?!”

Lin Xuan also looked at Du Lingfeng calmly. “Keep it for yourself.”

With that, he turned around and walked down the platform.

What greeted him was the admiring gazes of the Poet King, Qi Baihu, and the others.

“Wow! Daddy is so awesome!”

‘”Good job!”

Xuan Zhu and the others were extremely happy.

Their father never disappointed them!

Then, the four little girls pestered Lin Xuan to go somewhere else to play.

During this process, the little girls all wheedled with Lin Xuan and asked him to buy candied fruits for them.

However, before Lin Xuan could say anything, those hawkers selling candied fruits took the initiative to offer their best candied fruits.

In their opinion, it was a great honor to let the Consort’s daughter eat their candied hawthorn!

Xuan Zhu and the others ate the candied fruits while looking for something fun.

“Huh? The one in front looks so fun!”

Xuan You pointed at a stall in front of her.

Lin Xuan saw that this stall was playing a shooting game.

The customers could shoot at distant targets with slingshots provided by the stall.

If one hit the target many times, one could exchange it for all sorts of interesting prizes in the stall.

Many of these prizes were cute toys that girls liked.

Seeing Lin Xuan bring his daughters over, the stall owner immediately greeted them with a smile and took the initiative to choose four of the best slingshots before handing them to Xuan Zhu and the others enthusiastically.

“Princesses, let me help you move the target closer!”

The boss fawned over the four little girls.

“No, we can do it!” Xuan Zhu shook her head.

“That’s right. Let’s not cheat!” Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You also had determined expressions.

Last year, they had played slingshots with Donghuang Haoyu and the others.

Therefore, they were familiar with slingshots.

If the target was moved closer, the little girls would feel that it was no longer challenging.

“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t move it!” The boss agreed immediately and quickly retreated to the side.

Lin Xuan saw that his daughters were full of fighting spirit, so he gave them encouragement.

“Babies, you guys can do it!”

“Okay!”

Xuan Zhu and the others nodded at the same time, then pulled the slingshot and narrowed their eyes to aim.

Meng Changsheng and the others nodded to themselves. The little princesses were really upright.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Then, there were four sounds. Xuan Zhu and the others shot out the stones in the slingshot at the same time.

However…

None of the balls made of thin paper on the target in front were broken.

“Huh? Where did the stone go?”

Xuan Zhu and the others were stunned when they saw that the target was unharmed.

“Little princess, I have one!”

A middle-aged man at the side had a swollen left eye and could not even open it. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand.

“I have one here too!”

Beside this man, a black and thin old man kept bleeding from his nose. He pinched his nose and said.

“Mmm, I have it here too!”

On the other side, a fat man had a huge bump on his forehead. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xuan Zhu and the others with a pained expression.

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You covered their faces shyly.

“Ah! We actually missed and even injured people. How embarrassing!”

“Boohoo… We should have practiced more!”

The four little girls were dejected for a long time before they hurriedly apologized to the three bystanders who had been accidentally injured.

Suddenly!

Xuan Xi said, “By the way, where did the other stone go?”

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Han, and Xuan You suddenly realized something. “That’s right, there’s another one!”

At this moment, the crowd separated and they saw an old man in his seventies or eighties bending down to pick up a row of fake teeth from the ground.

“It’s… it’s with me!”

The old man raised the false teeth.

Everyone saw that a stone was stuck in his fake teeth.

Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You were speechless.
