113: Chapter 113 Getting on the Right Track, the Prologue Before Pushing Forward

The young girl’s hand holding the broom suddenly stiffened, but she quickly resumed sweeping! Tilting her head, she gave a gentle smile.

“Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? I’m just a little girl helping with the cleaning. How could I not be human?”

“Do you want some merchandise? The prices are very fair! We have Fairy Talismans and even short skirts!”

“I do! I want them all! But I want Talismans that are not from the Human Race!” Lin Kuang stared straight at her.

“Then you’ve come to the wrong place! All I have here are Talismans from the Human Race!” The girl still refused to admit she wasn't human; after all, she had been in disguise for hundreds of years, and no one had ever discovered her true identity.

“Kid! Stop pretending with me! I know everything!” Lin Kuang began to use his Divine Sense to suppress her!

Only then did the girl look Lin Kuang in the eye: “I didn’t expect it! The Human Race actually has such a powerful Divine Sense!”

The Divine Sense defense of a Ghost-type Spirit Beast is extremely strong, basically allowing them to withstand the pressure of a Cultivator two realms higher than themselves. Yet, Lin Kuang’s pressure made her feel uneasy.

The girl’s body began to twist, and a green-skinned monster with fangs, sharp claws, a large nose, pointed ears, and short, twisted limbs appeared before Lin Kuang.

There was even a horn protruding from its forehead, though it hadn't fully formed, likely due to its low cultivation level.

“What did you come looking for me for?”

“Do you want to do business with me?”

Lin Kuang looked at the kid in front of him. Judging by the aura emanating from its surroundings, it was at least a Sixth Realm Cultivator. With his current strength, he had no chance of winning against it.

Lin Kuang naturally knew that fighting it was the most unwise choice.

Besides, this kid was just greedy for money and had no other malicious intent!

“Since you’ve revealed your true form, I can pay double the price to buy everything you’re selling!” Lin Kuang said calmly.

“Eh? Sorry... Boss!” Hearing that Lin Kuang was there to buy things, and the kind of boss who would buy everything, the kid immediately transformed back into the young girl and excitedly poured him a cup of tea.

“Boss, you have great taste! The Talismans I draw are very powerful!”

“Don’t get excited just yet! My offer of double the price comes with conditions!” Lin Kuang took this opportunity, preparing to complete the task.

“Conditions?” The girl hesitated for a moment: “Uh! Don’t look at me just because I’m from the Yao Race! I’ve never harmed a Human Race Cultivator! I only scare them! I won’t hurt humans!”

“I don’t need you to hurt humans. I just need you not to go around scaring people this time!”

“But there’s also a reward! After this is over, I will help drive traffic to you! I'll let more Cultivators come to buy your things!”

“That... that’s it?” Hearing Lin Kuang’s conditions, the other party found it a bit unbelievable. As the most greedy race, the Human Race would actually only set such simple conditions.

Lin Kuang just nodded slightly, indicating it was indeed that simple.

“Fine! As long as the money is right, it’s not a problem! But you have to pay a bit in advance...”

Seeing her agree, Lin Kuang didn't say another word and threw the prepared Spirit Stones onto the table.

Lin Kuang didn't even ask how expensive the items were; he directly took out 300,000 Spirit Stones!

The Yao Race is different from the Human Race. The Human Race uses Spirit Stones as currency, but the Yao Race eats Spirit Stones like food!

“Wow! Oh! A real big boss!” The kid’s eyes lit up. So many! This was enough for it to eat its fill every day for the next thirty years.

“Boss, then I’ll be going! I promise not to scare anyone this year. As for the promotion, just do your best!” The kid used a gust of Yin wind to sweep away all the Spirit Stones, leaving everything else behind in the small wooden hut.

Lin Kuang picked up the Talismans and left the hut. On the way, he took a look. He couldn't understand the runes on them at all, but he could feel a faint power within!

This kid is quite honest! These Talismans seem like they can actually be used. Such an honest member of the Yao Race is truly rare.

“Lin Kuang! You’re back!” Liu Ruyan saw Lin Kuang walking over and immediately waved.

“I... I thought something happened to you! Taking a leak took so much time!”

“And it wasn’t convenient for me to go in and check, for fear of seeing your big...”

Liu Ruyan quickly retracted those last words, almost revealing the private topic she had discussed with Yu Xiaotang yesterday.

“Oh! It’s nothing! I just saw a female Cultivator inside selling Talismans! She said the Talismans she drew could ward off ghosts and evil spirits!”

“So I bought a few! Just in case! We still have patrols tonight!” Lin Kuang handed the Talismans to Liu Ruyan.

Hmm? Was someone inside? Liu Ruyan was a bit puzzled, but she didn't say it out loud.

But she quickly remembered! A previous colleague had mentioned that a mysterious young girl would appear in this small hut every time there was a Temple Fair.

After all, this house wasn't registered to anyone; it was considered public! And every time that young girl left, she would clean it up! So it hadn't been reported to the Cultivation Alliance!

However, that colleague had also told Liu Ruyan that her Talismans were indeed good, just a bit expensive.

“Then how much did you spend?”

“Tell me the specific amount, and I’ll help you cover half!”

“Ah, it’s fine!” Lin Kuang gently pressed the back of Liu Ruyan’s hand. “Didn’t you treat us to drinks? Consider this a return gift!”

“But these are really expensive!”

“Sigh! Sister, don’t forget, I’m Fairy Pei’s Personal Disciple! Master gave me quite a bit of money!”

True! Hearing this, Liu Ruyan actually felt a bit sad. She had seen those young Masters before; their pocket money could be an amount she couldn't even imagine in a lifetime!

Lin Kuang, after all, came from one of the Six Major Schools, and his Master was the world's number one Female Sword Immortal. He certainly didn't lack this bit of money!

“If you feel bad about it, then just treat us to another meal tonight!”

Lin Kuang squeezed Liu Ruyan’s small hand tightly and said gently.

Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Kuang holding her hand. Although they were separated by gloves, that feeling was still very comfortable!

For a moment, Liu Ruyan’s thoughts wandered again. She didn't dare discuss the money issue with Lin Kuang anymore and only replied shyly, “Okay! I won't trouble you to cook today! I'll take you guys to eat something good!”

“There’s a particularly delicious BBQ restaurant here!”

To put Liu Ruyan at ease, Lin Kuang nodded and agreed.

But eating something good was truly eating something good; Liu Ruyan found the most expensive BBQ restaurant in Fairy Lake.

However, seeing her somewhat practiced manner, she must have eaten here many times.

It seemed the benefits of the Cultivation Alliance were quite good if an ordinary Law Enforcement Elder could eat at such a shop.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yu Xiaotang, in order to advance the relationship between Lin Kuang and Liu Ruyan, took the initiative to suggest going on patrol with Liu Ruyan.

Lin Kuang just found an excuse to separate from the two. This time, he might actually be able to win her over. Lin Kuang planned to create some scares on the road and then take the opportunity to seal the deal!
