738: Hiring people, foodies

After the Little Girl finished her meal, Lin Yang left the room to her and let her continue to rest.

He stepped out of the room himself and went over to Li Rui's side.

"Captain, is there no place in the Prefecture City to take care of orphans?" Lin Yang asked again.

"There really isn't." Li Rui shook his head. "That's why I said before that if we brought this little one back, there would be nowhere to settle her."

"Then... is there any other way? I ask that the Captain please help me think of something." Lin Yang continued to consult Li Rui.

It was sometimes quite inconvenient for him alone to take care of a Little Girl.

Li Rui paused and said, "I know you mean well, but there are too many such cases; it's impossible to handle them all. However, since you have already brought her with you, you can simply spend money to hire someone to take care of the Little Girl."

"Hire someone?" Lin Yang was taken aback.

"Haha, yes. It's sometimes inconvenient for you to take care of a Little Girl yourself, but there are plenty of female cultivators in the city without stable jobs. As long as you spend money, hiring a female cultivator to take care of the Little Girl is quite simple." Li Rui offered a suggestion.

Lin Yang's eyes lit up. "That is indeed a solution."

Li Rui nodded. "It's just taking care of a child. As long as you pay for such easy work, plenty of people are willing to do it."

"Many thanks, Captain." Lin Yang cupped his hands in gratitude.

"Don't mention it." Li Rui waved his hand.

Lin Yang then took out a few bottles of fine wine and began to drink with Li Rui.

Before they knew it, half a year had passed.

They did not encounter any further accidents on the way back to the city.

The Squad successfully returned to the Prefecture City.

Over the past six months, the Little Girl had gotten to know everyone else in the Squad quite well.

Although she had lost her family, the Little Girl was still quite strong and sensible, and the members of the Squad were quite fond of her.

When they parted ways after returning to the city, the team members took turns pinching the Little Girl's cheeks and laughed, "Little Xia Shuang, come find us to play when you have time."

"Thank you, big brothers." The Little Girl said in a milky voice.

After saying goodbye to the Squad members, Lin Yang led the Little Girl back to his own cave dwelling.

Fortunately, his cave dwelling had several rooms. He cleared one out for the Little Girl, let her stay in the room, and then headed out himself.

There was no place in the city that could take in such orphans, so he had to find a female cultivator himself to help take care of her.

Hiring someone was also very simple.

There were specific places in the city to recruit workers.

Lin Yang didn't have to put in much effort to find someone.

It was a female practitioner with Transformation Dao Realm cultivation.

On the Primal Ancient Continent, it was very difficult for those with strength below the Dao Realm to survive without the protection of a family or sect.

Therefore, Lin Yang didn't have to spend much to hire her.

The female cultivator was named Yu Nianyun. Lin Yang informed her of what she needed to do and then brought her back to the cave dwelling.

Afterward, he called the Little Girl and Yu Nianyun together to let them get acquainted.

After they met, Lin Yang said, "Little Girl, from now on, Miss Yu will stay here to take care of you. If you need anything, you can ask her."

"Thank you, big brother. When I grow up, I will repay you!" The Little Girl said earnestly.

On the way back to the city, Lin Yang had already told her that he would find an additional female cultivator to take care of her after they returned, so the Little Girl accepted it very quickly.

"Haha, then hurry up and grow up." Lin Yang patted the Little Girl's little head.

Immediately after, he looked at Yu Nianyun. "The Little Girl is entrusted to you. If there are any needs in daily life, let me know at any time."

"Yes, sir." Yu Nianyun replied respectfully, then led the Little Girl back to the room, no longer easily disturbing Lin Yang's cultivation.

Inside the room, there was a bit of envy in Yu Nianyun's eyes as she looked at the Little Girl.

She had already learned that the Little Girl was someone Lin Yang had saved in passing.

To be able to save someone, bring them back to the city, and even specifically hire someone to take care of them.

It had to be said that this Little Girl had met a benefactor.

Afterward, Yu Nianyun still said respectfully, "Miss Xia Shuang, I will be right outside your door. If you need anything, just command me at any time."

Although she knew the Little Girl was only saved by Lin Yang in passing and that the Little Girl was young, Yu Nianyun still treated her as a master, being very respectful.

In the following period, Yu Nianyun took care of the Little Girl's daily life and diet, and also taught the Little Girl cultivation; she could be said to be very dedicated and conscientious.

Lin Yang observed for a period of time and felt much more at ease with Yu Nianyun.

He had originally intended to go into a short seclusion.

However, considering that even a casual seclusion would take many years, he decided not to go into seclusion for the time being.

Watching a little brat grow up was also quite an enjoyable thing.

A dozen or so years wouldn't delay anything.

Not long after their Squad returned, the rewards for the mission were also fully distributed.

In addition to the remuneration for guarding the reception point, the mission to temporarily support the Rogue Cultivator Stronghold also provided many additional rewards.

The Jidong Prefecture was quite generous when it came to remuneration and rewards for the Prefecture Army.

And besides the normal remuneration, there was an additional bonus of yuan sand, a full fifty million.

This was by no means a small amount.

When he was in the Dao Above, he wouldn't have been able to earn this much even in tens of thousands of years.

Even after joining the Prefecture Army, this was still a huge sum of money.

Lin Yang couldn't help but contact Li Rui to ask, "Captain, I received an additional reward of fifty million yuan sand. Was it sent by mistake?"

"Haha, it wasn't a mistake. This time, while supporting the Rogue Cultivator Stronghold temporarily, your Formation Array played a huge role and you made a significant contribution. If it weren't for your Formation Array, our rescue mission wouldn't have been so easy. After I returned, I reported this matter to the higher-ups, so this is a special commendation for you." Li Rui laughed.

"This... many thanks, Captain." Lin Yang was surprised and quickly thanked him.

"Don't be polite. As members of the Prefecture Army, as long as we go on missions and perform impressively during the process, or play a key role, there will always be additional commendations. You can rest assured and keep it." Li Rui explained.

"Understood." Lin Yang nodded, gaining a new understanding of Jidong Prefecture's generosity.

"No wonder so many people break their heads trying to join the Prefecture Army. Although the missions all have risks, the rewards are truly generous." Lin Yang sighed with emotion.

After communicating with Li Rui, Lin Yang went to the shops in the city and did some shopping.

With yuan sand, he naturally needed to purchase resources to improve his strength.

Time passed.

Before he knew it, several years had passed.

The Little Girl was now twelve years old and had become a young girl.

One day, while Lin Yang was cultivating, the barrier outside his cave dwelling was triggered.

At the same time, a voice came in.

"Lin Yang, I've come to see Little Xia Shuang. Quickly open the cave dwelling and let me in."

It was Cheng Fu.

Lin Yang couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Over the past few years, other teammates had also come to see the Little Girl.

But Cheng Fu came the most frequently. Every time he came, he either brought a pile of delicious food or took the Little Girl all over the city to eat.

He had practically raised the Little Girl into a little foodie.

"Cheng Fu, are you planning to take the Little Girl out for a big meal again today?" Lin Yang saw Cheng Fu come in empty-handed and knew that he wasn't here to deliver food today, but to take her out to eat.

This Cheng Fu was a huge foodie.

"Hehe, I heard that Cloud Drunken Pavilion has new dishes. I'm here to take Little Xia Shuang to try them." Cheng Fu rubbed his hands together.

Lin Yang looked at Cheng Fu's burly figure and couldn't help but sigh, "When it comes to being a foodie, in the entire Prefecture City, if you dare to say you're second, I'm afraid no one dares to say they're first. The Little Girl's palate is about to become spoiled by you."
