Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass-Chapter 69 - Inside the Temple of the Koi Fish God 3

Jiang Yeqian was about to avert his gaze when the men looked at him. Their gazes paused at the sight of his bull-head mask for a while, and then they turned to the man wearing a horse-face mask beside him. Their gazes shifted to the pretty lady between them and the three cute children. After that, they averted their eyes.

Jiang Yeqian, “…”

They had probably assumed that Qi Qingyao was a noblewoman in disguise who came out here for some fun and that the two of them were her strange servants!

Their group of six had taken a few steps when Qi Qingyao spotted someone who was selling osmanthus cakes. She turned and asked the children, “Do you want some?”

Dabao was still licking his sugar person. Erniu was hesitating while patting her little tummy when Xiaobao said seriously, “Mother, we still have to pay off our debts. If we spend our money carelessly, we won’t have enough to pay our debts. It’s better that we don’t spend carelessly.”

Qi Qingyao looked at the osmanthus cakes hungrily. She had just transmigrated here and had not had many good meals. Now, she only wanted to eat some osmanthus cakes, but she ended up being scolded by her son. She felt so bad. Qi Qingyao licked her lips. “We have to pay off our debt, but we have one month to do so. Your mother will be able to pay it off in seven days!”

After she said that, Xiaobao still rejected her suggestion seriously.

Qi Qingyao explained softly, “It’s because I want to eat osmanthus cakes.”

Xiaobao paused for a while and said weakly, “Uh… If you want to eat, then buy them.” His big crystal clear eyes were hesitant, as if he was feeling conflicted when faced with his mother’s craving for food.

Qi Qingyao was overjoyed after gaining permission. She bought six osmanthus cakes and gave each of them one, including Jiang Yeqian and Sijin.

“You two have one, too,” Qi Qingyao said while eating.

Jiang Yeqian, “…” ‘Just how greedy is this woman?’

He had never seen a woman who could eat so much. She ate a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, a bowl of soy sauce scallion noodles, and a bowl of douhua… And now she ate and ate and ate. Her mouth had not stopped at all!

Dabao held his sugar person in his left hand and an osmanthus cake in his right.

Dabao never had so many snacks before. Right at that second, he was so touched that he could cry.

They ate as they walked, and they soon reached the temple of the Koi Fish God.

Qi Qingyao, who was ahead of everyone else, rushed inside the temple.

When she reached the front of the queue, she eyed the statue of the Koi Fish God that was at the front.

She put a loop of coins inside the money box devoutly. Then, she placed her palms together and prayed silently.

…

The children and the two adults waited outside the temple.

Sijin, who was wearing a horse-face mask, looked at the temple with a smile.

The temple was a typical one constructed from wood. The two big pillars in front of the doors stood majestically. They were painted with red paint, and beautiful golden koi fishes were carved onto the pillars. They looked grand. As a huge number of people came to the temple to pray, the temple was clean and maintained well.

The corners of Sijin’s lips pulled up.

Joy filled his cold eyes.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes and focused. His pupils turned gold and the pilgrims’ wishes surged into his mind like water flowing in a river.

Most of them prayed for children, for wealth, for marriage, or for revenge… They were all quite conventional.

Suddenly, a familiar voice surged into his mind.

‘O, Koi Fish God, I caught a small koi fish last time. I didn’t eat it! I was so lucky before I let it go, and after that I got unlucky! I lost my house! I may have to stay in the streets tonight!’

‘Please let me get rich!’

‘If you don’t, I’ll eat your descendants if I happen to catch them! This is not a threat, this is a discussion! You better act as I said.’

Sijin almost cracked up.

He could not help opening his eyes, coughing.

Jiang Yeqian sensed the shift in his mood. He asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Sijin coughed. “Nothing.”

Qi Qingyao was so hilarious. Who would say that to the deity they prayed to?

That was obviously a threat, not a prayer!
