Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 319 is so awesome!

Less than half an hour later, Jiang Yueyang and others followed Lin Yan to his residence.

It was a quiet little courtyard, seemingly ordinary but exuding a unique tranquility.

There were many tools and wood used to make puppets piled up in the yard, and a small puppet was left on a table nearby.

Just as the three of them were looking around the yard, the door of the house in front suddenly opened from the inside.

What came into their sight was a puppet with a female appearance. The puppet was wearing a beautiful dress and had an exquisite hairstyle.

Jiang Yueyang and the other two were stunned.

If the puppet's exposed face and hands were not made of wood, they would have thought it was a living person.

Because the puppet's eyes were extremely vivid, as if they had a soul.

But the puppet looked a little childish, like a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Jiang Yueyang was the first to come back to his senses, his voice still filled with disbelief, "Master Lin, is that the puppet you made?"

"She's not." Lin Yan walked towards the puppet and stroked its cheek out of habit. "She was a gift from my father for my fifteenth birthday."

In other words, the puppet was made by Lin Yan's father as a gift for him on his fifteenth birthday.

No wonder he looks so young.

The puppet tilted its head, as if rubbing Lin Yan's hand with its face.

The third prince swallowed in shock, then ran up and looked at the puppet curiously, Jiang Yueyang and the fifth prince followed closely behind.

The puppet didn't show any special reaction to the three of them looking at him, and just glanced around mechanically.

The Third Prince asked, "How did she make her eyes? They look just like human eyes!"

The puppet's eyes are made of a wood that is very similar in color to the eyes. The whites of the eyes, the pupils, and the surrounding bloodshot are all very realistic.

This may be the main reason why this puppet is so lifelike.

Lin Yan shook his head. "I don't know. My father was gone before he could teach me."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang secretly pulled the third prince's sleeve, indicating that he should apologize.

The Third Prince said, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

"No problem." Lin Yan took the puppet's hand and pulled her to his side. "Your Highness, please come in."

The third prince nodded slightly, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

As soon as they entered, they saw more than twenty exquisite puppets, both male and female, standing in the area near the window.

There were some puppet limbs and heads that had not been put together yet piled on the ground. Jiang Yueyang felt that it must be very scary to see them at first glance at night.

The third prince and the fifth prince walked quickly over there. The fifth prince subconsciously reached out to touch the puppet, but was stopped in time by the third prince.

The Third Prince turned around and looked at Lin Yan, "Master Lin, can we touch it?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please do as you please."

After getting Lin Yan's consent, the third prince and the fifth prince began to play with the puppet, but their actions were not rough.

Jiang Yueyang glanced at the puppet beside Lin Yan, pointed at it and asked, "Master Lin, does she have a name?"

"flowery."

When Jiang Yueyang heard the word "Ruhua", the corners of her mouth twitched, and she felt a crow flying over her head, cawing and dropping a string of black dots.

The system burst into laughter, [Hahahaha... Ruhua? Such a tacky name!]

Hearing the system's laughter, Lin Yan didn't react. But if you looked closely, you could see a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

The Third Prince was attracted by the system's laughter and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Yueyang ignored him and asked again to confirm: "Master Lin, what did you say her name was?"

Lin Yan pursed his lips slightly, "Ruhua."

"Puff~" The Third Prince quickly covered his mouth, "Sorry, I... couldn't control it."

Jiang Yueyang tried hard to control her expression, "Does the name Ruhua have any special meaning?"

"I don't know. My father didn't say anything." Lin Yan paused and added, "I don't think it sounds good."

Jiang Yueyang chuckled in her heart, you know it doesn’t sound good?

"I gave her a new name, but after her father passed away, I changed it back," Lin Yan continued.

"I wonder what the new name is?"

"Lingyue."

"That sounds nice!" Jiang Yueyang smiled brightly, "Can I call her Lingyue?"

Facing such a beautiful puppet, she really couldn't call out the name Ruhua, as that would be too unfair to her.

"can."

At this time, the third prince had stopped laughing, put down his hand that was covering his mouth and was about to say something.

But before he could make a sound, a scream came from the Fifth Prince.

The three looked over in the direction of the sound, and saw the Fifth Prince being punched by the puppet in front of him.

【Oh!】The system exclaimed.

With a dull thud, the Fifth Prince fell to the ground in a heap. He was now clutching his cheeks, staring at the puppet in horror.

The puppet that was beating people was performing a set of martial arts, sometimes swinging punches, sometimes kicking, and sometimes jumping up and doing a roundhouse kick, which scared the Fifth Prince on the ground so much that he kept backing away.

“Third… Third Brother!”

The fifth prince's cry for help brought the stunned Jiang Yueyang and the third prince back to their senses, and they hurried over to help him up.

Lin Yan was one step faster than them and was already operating behind the puppet.

After a while, the puppet stopped moving.

The Third Prince asked, "Fifth brother, what did you do?"

"I...hiss~" The Fifth Prince's face hurt as he spoke, "I just twisted the round thing on the back of the puppet."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang and the third prince immediately walked over to Lin Yan and took a look.

There is a clockwork behind the puppet, and under the clockwork there are thirty-six movable grids, one of which is empty.

Lin Yan pointed at the clockwork and explained, "This is the puppet's action switch, and the grid below is the command."

Jiang Yueyang asked curiously, "Master Lin, how is this command set?"

"Each grid corresponds to an action. When the switch is turned on, the puppet will perform the corresponding action according to the order of the grids."

The Third Prince exclaimed, "Is it so magical?"

Lin Yan pointed to the first position in the upper left corner and said, "If there is no space here, the puppet will just repeat the same movements."

Jiang Yueyang understood.

The puppet has been maintaining its basic state. The fifth prince just twisted the spring and did not use the thirty-six grids to issue instructions, so the puppet was just repeating a few identical movements.

The fifth prince got up from the ground and hid behind the third prince with a frightened look on his face.

The Third Prince excitedly asked, "Lord Lin, can you demonstrate it for us?"

Lin Yan nodded, then reached out and moved the grid behind the puppet. His movements were so fast that the three of them couldn't see clearly.

After a while, Lin Yan withdrew his hand.

"Your Highnesses, Lord Xiao Jiang, please step back."

The three of them obediently retreated a distance, and Lin Yan also took two steps back after twisting the spring.

The next second, they saw the puppet bow slightly to the front, as if saluting its opponent.

Then, the puppet performed a wonderful set of boxing skills, with powerful and fierce punches, and each move was precise and powerful.

Jiang Yueyang was stunned by the puppet's movements, which were so smooth and natural.

The third and fifth princes followed the puppet's movements with their eyes filled with the word "want".

Finally, the puppet ends with a handsome leg sweep and returns to a standing still state.

Jiang Yueyang clapped his hands in praise, "Master Lin is truly amazing. This puppet is as flexible as a real person."

"That's amazing!" The third prince couldn't help but praise.

The system said: [Lin Yan is the first person here to be able to make puppets to this level.]

[If there is no Lu Ban, it must be. 】

Lin Yan: Lu Ban? Who is that?
