Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

This completely piqued Zhang San's curiosity.

He grabbed a young peddler who was squeezing past him; the young man was carrying a half-empty load of goods on his shoulder.

"Hey, young man, wait a minute!"

The peddler was grabbed, sweating profusely, his face full of impatience.

"What's wrong, sir? Get to the point, don't delay my chance to make money!"

"Just asking, why are you all rushing south? What major event has happened?"

"event?"

The peddler looked him up and down, and seeing his hunter's attire, he suddenly understood.

"Oh, uncle, you're new to the city, aren't you? You don't know?"

"What do you know?"

Zhang San was even more confused by him.

"They're giving out money! They're handing out money at the South City Plaza!"

The peddler's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, and his voice trembled.

"Give us money?"

Zhang San was stunned, then chuckled and let go of her hand.

"Nonsense, who's that generous? The government?"

"It's good enough that they don't take money out of our pockets."

"Oh, it's not the government!"

The peddler grew anxious, fearing the man wouldn't believe him, so he lowered his voice and his expression became both mysterious and fanatical.

"She's a fairy! A fairy descended from heaven!"

"A fairy?"

For Zhang San, this phrase was even more outrageous than hearing about money falling from the sky.

"Of course!"

Seeing Zhang San's disbelief, the peddler began gesturing wildly, spittle flying everywhere.

"It all happened in the last few days! Let me tell you, that fairy, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden descended to the mortal world, is... wow, you'll see when you see her!"

"They say our Zhenbei City is the birthplace of a dragon, and its dragon veins are reviving!"

"To bless all the people of the city, starting the day before yesterday, for seven consecutive nights, copper coins will be scattered at the Blessing Platform in the south of the city!"

"The copper coins rained down like a storm!"

The peddler became more and more excited as he spoke, and his spittle almost sprayed onto Zhang San's face.

Zhang San was stunned, feeling like his brain wasn't quite working properly.

A fairy? A dragon vein? And she's throwing money around every day?

Even the storyteller at the village entrance wouldn't dare to make up such a story.

"Are you kidding me? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Why would I lie to you? Would you get a free meal if I did?

The peddler got impatient and flung Zhang San's hand away.

Believe it or not! In the time it takes me to say just these few words, I haven't even managed to get a good seat!

"I'm not going to argue with you anymore, or we won't even get any soup!"

After saying that, the peddler shook off Zhang San's hand and ran towards the south of the city without looking back.

Zhang San stood there, carrying his fox pelt and rabbit, momentarily dazed.

This sounds like a huge scam.

Can……

Looking at the crowds that were constantly converging towards the south of the city, and at the almost fanatical anticipation on their faces.

Zhang San's resolve began to waver.

If someone says it's fake, then it's fake.

If ten people say it's fake, then it might be fake too.

But what if the whole city says it?

What if... what if it's true?

Zhang San weighed the prey on his back. These things were hard-earned, and even if he sold them all, they would only fetch one string of cash.

But judging from what the peddler said, going over there to collect things for a while might earn him more than he would in several days of hard work!

"Let's go take a look... Okay, let's go take a look, it's not like we'll lose anything..."

Zhang San muttered to himself, finally making up his mind.

Even if it's a scam, I still need to see what the scammer looks like with my own eyes!

With that thought in mind, he bounced the prey on his back a little higher and quickened his pace, heading south of the city with the surging crowd.

……

North of the town and south of the city, there are no stars tonight.

The abandoned training ground in the south of the city was now as bright as day.

The place was already packed with people.

Zhang San, carrying his fur goods, was swept up in the crowd, feeling like a leaf caught in a whirlpool, unable to control his own destiny.

The air was filled with the smells of sweat, cosmetics, and the greasy aroma of street food, which made him feel a little dizzy.

"Ouch! Who stepped on my foot!"

"Stop pushing from behind! If you keep pushing, your dad'll be turned into a meat pie!"

"Hey! Move aside! Give my kid a little breathing room!"

Shouts and curses, and the cries of children rose and fell.

The entire square looked like a pot of boiling porridge.

Zhang San finally managed to squeeze into a slightly more spacious spot and leaned against a hitching post to catch his breath.

Next to him, an old lady selling steamed buns was boasting to someone, spitting as she spoke.

"Let me tell you, I was standing right here yesterday, and when the fairy was scattering money, coins rained down into my basket like hail! I filled my whole basket!"

"Really? Aunt Wang?" A young man next to her asked, his face full of disbelief.

"If I'm lying, I'll be your grandson!" Aunt Wang patted her chest confidently.

"My husband said I was obsessed yesterday, but today? He's running faster than anyone else! Look, there he is!"

She pointed in a direction in the crowd, and everyone looked in that direction.

A dark-skinned, stout man was standing on tiptoe, craning his neck, gazing longingly at the high platform under the large banyan tree in the center of the square.

Zhang San's doubts wavered a little more.

This display doesn't seem fake.

It was already past 7 PM, but the stage remained empty, with only a few lanterns swaying in the night breeze.

The crowd began to stir.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

"Yeah, my neck is sore. Is the fairy asleep?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Disrespecting the fairy will make the God of Wealth withdraw your blessings!"

After these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately quieted down.

Just then, someone shouted:

"Look! In the tree!"

Instantly, countless eyes turned to look at the giant banyan tree.

Without warning, a soft white light suddenly appeared on the originally dark tree canopy.

The light was not dazzling, but like the moon reflected in the water, cool and holy.

A thunderous roar of exclamations erupted from the crowd.

"They're here! The fairy has arrived!"

"My God! They're truly divine!"

Zhang San's eyes widened as he stared intently at the ball of light.

A graceful figure slowly emerged from the light.

Then, under the shocked gaze of tens of thousands of people, the shadow moved.

She floated down from the treetop, which was tens of meters high.

It's not a jump, it's not a leap.

It floated down so lightly, like a weightless feather, or like a dandelion seed carried by the wind, slowly descending towards the platform below.

Zhang San gasped, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He was a hunter who spent his whole life in the mountains and forests dealing with birds and beasts. He knew better than anyone what it felt like to fall!

If a person comes down from that height, they'll just turn into a pile of minced meat!

But what he saw before him completely shattered his understanding of what he had learned in his life!

When that figure landed on the high platform, it was as if the breath of tens of thousands of people in the entire square was sucked out at that moment.

Dead silence.

The fairy, dressed in a flowing, fiery red gown with wide sleeves, resembled a burning flame in the night.

She was barefoot, with gold rings on her ankles.

As she moved lightly, her footsteps made a tinkling sound.

Most remarkably, there were two orange-red ribbons wrapped around her arms.

On a windless night, the ribbon fluttered and moved.

A pair of fair and slender legs, and a slim and supple waist.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, loosely held back by a single wooden hairpin, and her face was veiled in a thin red gauze, obscuring her features.

All you can see is a pair of eyes scanning the audience.

Wherever that gaze fell, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared in awe at that stunningly beautiful figure, as if their very souls had been captivated.

Zhang San's mouth had unknowingly opened into a circle.

He had lived half his life, fought bears and wolves, and considered himself a worldly man.

But he had never seen such a person before.

His mind went blank.

That's not human...that's...a real fairy!

Just as everyone was lost in thought.

A burst of ethereal music, seemingly from nowhere, rose up, like heavenly music, cleansing the soul.

Like heavenly music, like celestial music, it instantly cleansed everyone's mind and soul.

On the high platform, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the fairy in red finally moved.
