107: Chapter 107 Patrol with Liu Ruyan
Yu Xiaotang slept in Lin Kuang's arms like that until they reached the small town near Fairy Lake.
But it was still early, with three days to go! However, it was already crowded around Fairy Lake, as everyone was preparing for the Fairy Lake Temple Fair!
"Wow! The Fairy Lake Temple Fair! It looks so interesting! Let's go take a look when the time comes!" Yu Xiaotang had never participated in such an event.
In the Sect, they only gathered for grand competitions, regular festivals, or when an Elder held a Dual Cultivation ceremony; otherwise, everyone just minded their own business.
Yu Xiaotang had never seen a Temple Fair before and excitedly ran straight to the busiest street.
Lin Kuang followed behind Yu Xiaotang and soon spotted two familiar figures—The Bandit Duo.
Honestly, these two were truly Heaven-Defying; they were really blessed by the heavens! They escaped death every time! And he bumped into them every single time!
As expected of the bond between fated rivals, truly impressive!
Wait, that's not right! It seemed that every time they met him, he ended up ruining their plans! So they hadn't actually done anything bad! It was normal that they hadn't been caught!
Besides, an organization like that must have a protector, perhaps someone of high status!
However, Blue Shark was holding something like a magnifying glass, searching for something on the ground.
Just then, a Cultivator's spatial ring suddenly fell, and he was quick-handed enough to pick it up immediately.
"Not bad! I found it!"
Blue Shark looked at the contents inside excitedly, but his expression suddenly darkened.
"What's wrong?" Hong Mo's stomach growled as he asked curiously.
"Only 5 Spirit Stones!" Blue Shark said dejectedly.
Lin Kuang looked at Blue Shark, who used to rob people openly but was now actually stealing!
How amusing!
"Fellow Daoist Blue Shark, shouldn't you return something you've found to its owner?" Lin Kuang teased Blue Shark, who was crawling on the ground.
Lin Kuang didn't really hate Blue Shark and Hong Mo, as they could appear at any time and allow him to gain favor with the Cultivation Alliance and build prestige in this world.
After all, if he took them down, the next members of the Now You See Me Thieves Guild he encountered might be even more brutal and could actually kill him!
Blue Shark looked toward the source of the voice and immediately perked up, looking like he wanted to trade blows: "I found it first, kid! What do you want?"
Hong Mo immediately stopped Blue Shark: "Brother Blue, calm down! We can't beat him anymore..."
Blue Shark and Hong Mo were still stuck at the second realm Peak cultivation, and Lin Kuang had already left them far behind.
"Little brother Lin Kuang is right! It's not about the amount of money! We must also maintain social ethics and return what we find!" Liu Ruyan slowly walked out from the crowd.
"Do you need my help? Although I'm busy right now, I can set those things aside for you!"
"Eh? Liu Ruyan? No... no need!" Hong Mo immediately reacted and dragged Blue Shark away from the Temple Fair as fast as possible.
Liu Ruyan had only seen their figures from a distance, and since they had changed clothes, she didn't recognize them at first.
"Huh? Why are those two so strange?" Fairy Lake was a small place with very few resident Cultivators, and it didn't even have a Magic Treasure maintenance center; the Now You See Me Thieves Guild had even excluded this place!
So Liu Ruyan wasn't that high-strung.
Due to the many times he had helped her, Liu Ruyan's favorability toward Lin Kuang was very high.
"Little brother Lin Kuang, we meet again!" Liu Ruyan could even feel that her body relaxed significantly when she made eye contact with Lin Kuang.
"Lin Kuang! Lin Kuang!" Yu Xiaotang, who was wandering ahead, noticed Lin Kuang hadn't caught up, so she doubled back to find him.
Seeing Lin Kuang stopped by a female Cultivator wearing the Cultivation Alliance Elder's uniform, she hurried over!
"Sorry! Fellow Daoist! Lin Kuang isn't a bad person; there might be a misunderstanding!"
Yu Xiaotang didn't even see who the other person was before she immediately started apologizing.
"Oh! It's that little sister who asks about me every day!" Liu Ruyan looked at Yu Xiaotang with a smile.
"Eh? Sister Liu Ruyan?" Yu Xiaotang heard the familiar voice and slowly looked up.
Then she complained in a low voice, "You scared me to death; I thought you were doing something bad just to get close to a pretty girl!"
Yu Xiaotang had now started encouraging Lin Kuang to find older sisters, and she didn't even feel jealous!
Since there would be more and more sisters later anyway, Yu Xiaotang, who had always only been a younger sister, wanted to be both an older sister and a younger sister!
"Ah? What are you two talking about?" Liu Ruyan looked at Yu Xiaotang in confusion.
"It's nothing! I just wanted to know when the event starts! I want to wander around the Temple Fair!"
Lin Kuang looked at Yu Xiaotang, afraid her honest nature would expose them! He repeated what he had just said and immediately interrupted!
"Oh! So that's it, mm~" Liu Ruyan let out a yawn.
"Hmm? Sister Liu Ruyan looks very sleepy!" Yu Xiaotang leaned in, ready to support her.
Liu Ruyan nodded listlessly: "Because Fairy Lake is quite remote! The previous Law Enforcement Elder had something else to do and couldn't come to maintain security for the Temple Fair, so I was transferred here!"
"And since this place is small, I'm the only Law Enforcement Elder! It was fine before, but now with the Temple Fair, there's suddenly a lot more people!"
"I simply can't keep up!"
"By the way! Since you're here, why don't you help me out? Of course, it won't be for nothing; room and board are fully covered!"
Patrolling alone was too boring for Liu Ruyan, and she had just happened to run into Lin Kuang, so they could chat while patrolling!
Yu Xiaotang tilted her head and looked at the two of them, thinking for a moment that they looked like a good match.
But since they had nothing to do anyway, she might as well let Lin Kuang accompany her future sister.
Besides, Sister Liu Ruyan even provided us with a place to stay.
"Is the bed in the place where we'll stay soft?" Yu Xiaotang asked tentatively; she was planning to help Lin Kuang win over Liu Ruyan.
After all, Sister Liu Ruyan had to patrol every day; if the bed wasn't soft, her back would hurt the next day!
"As friends of the Cultivation Alliance, you'll definitely get the best accommodations!" Liu Ruyan answered decisively. "And since this place is relatively backward, the funds provided by the Cultivation Alliance are very ample!"
"You can also enjoy special delicacies, Spirit Beast feed, and so on!"
"Ooh! Great! Lin Kuang, hurry up and go patrol with Sister Liu Ruyan! When you guys get back, I'll give you both a massage!" Yu Xiaotang skipped over, appeared behind Lin Kuang, and started kneading his shoulders.
Lin Kuang was in a very good mood; first, because Yu Xiaotang's technique was becoming increasingly skilled, and second, because he was thinking about how to increase intimacy, and this was a task that had just popped up!
Most importantly, Yu Xiaotang no longer got jealous! She even gave him assists!
"Alright! Room and board included, plus we get to join the Temple Fair—it's pretty good!" Lin Kuang agreed without hesitation.
