After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 76 Sun City, Arrived

Why have these two gotten a bit fatter? Will taking them out be like weight training for me from now on...?

The two little ones sensed their owner's presence and opened their eyes to wake up. Tangyuan covered its eyes with its chubby wings and then moved them away. After confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, it was the first to fly into its owner's arms and chirp affectionately.

It was complaining to its owner about how the rabbit had bullied it first before taking spirit fruits from its storage bag to eat. Its round eyes were filled with tears as it chirped its complaint, like a pitiful little bird that had been bullied.

Tangyuan looks so adorable, it melts your heart. It's completely different from the cold and fierce Snow Frost Eagle. If I didn't know it was a Snow Frost Eagle cub, I would have thought it was some kind of spirit pet.

Lin Yan patted its head reassuringly: "Then I'll prepare a storage bag for you too, and teach you how to take out spirit fruits from the storage bag, okay?"

Little Tangyuan has grown a bit bigger now. Its once chubby, fluffy wings have sprouted flight feathers, so it should be able to open the storage bag by now. I didn't teach it before because I thought the little guy was too small and wouldn't be able to move the spirit fruits even if he learned, so I had the little rabbit take care of him.

My gaze fell on the little rabbit and I noticed it was looking at the cuddly little creature with a very disdainful expression.

"Cuckoo~"

The Crimson Demon was also defending its master. It hadn't bullied the bird at all. The bird had clearly pecked at its feathers first, which was why it retaliated and the fight had started. The little bird, relying on its ability to fly, had repeatedly provoked it.

The discord among the pets in the house is related to her, the owner, not treating them equally! Lin Yan also comforted the rabbits, putting the two little ones together and asking them to apologize to each other, reasoning with them.

It wasn't a big deal to begin with; the fact that the two little ones could sleep in the same bed meant their relationship wasn't irreconcilable. She educated both of them, making them bow their heads and apologize to each other, and that was the end of it.

Soon, a bell rang from the private room, indicating that the stop had been reached.

Since it was warm in the city, there was no need to wear a robe with thermal insulation. Lin Yan changed into a plain-colored wide-sleeved dress and a new veiled hat in the same color scheme. She touched her shoulder, and Little Tangyuan immediately understood and flew onto her shoulder.

Perhaps it's because of the trade city, but Richeng is more lively and larger than Lishan City, with many cultivators coming and going.

As soon as they stepped off the flying boat, two little children eagerly greeted them. "Beautiful fairy, do you need someone to show you the way?"

The two little ones had sallow, thin faces, looking as if a gust of wind could blow them over. They nervously twisted the hem of their clothes, looking timidly at Lin Yan with eyes full of expectation mixed with a hint of caution, afraid of being rejected.

Even though she wasn't a soft-hearted person, she couldn't bear to refuse at this moment.

After disembarking from the flying boat, Lin Yan originally intended to send a message to Mu Feng via the jade disc, but now that two little ones had come to ask her questions, she decided to explore the area on her own first.

Her voice was calm, making the two little ones feel that she was pitying them. "What's your price for leading the way?"

"Two low-grade spirit stones for one hour. May I ask where you wish to go, fairy?"

Lin Yan hadn't decided where to go yet, so she took out four low-grade spirit stones and gave them to the two of them, asking them to show her around Sun City like a tour guide.

Sun City has a larger population than Lishan City, but the gap between the two seems quite significant. At least in Lishan City, you won't see any poorly dressed toddlers leading the way and begging for tips near the flying boat docks. The two toddlers accepted the spirit stones with both hands, their faces immediately lighting up with joy. "Fairy, please follow us." They feigned mature adulthood, leading the way with composure. Along the way, they diligently organized their words, introducing her to the unique features and lively places of Sun City.

Lin Yan listened with great interest, nodding occasionally in agreement. As they walked, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps approached, and a formidable guard, like two rows of bamboo poles, cleared the way on either side of the road, followed by a luxurious carriage slowly passing by.

Traveling on the Canghai Continent isn't always done using flying artifacts or swords. Within cities, due to barriers prohibiting all flying artifacts, including swords, some prestigious figures travel in impressive carriages to display their status.

Once the carriage had left, the guards who had cleared the way quickly withdrew and followed.

The two little ones leading the way couldn't help but look envious at the grand procession of others, and they were so engrossed in watching it that they were lost in thought for a moment.

Seeing that the sun was shining brightly and their faces were flushed red, Lin Yan asked, "Do you have any restaurant recommendations?"

"Yes...yes," the two little ones answered hesitantly, annoyed at their absent-mindedness. How could they be daydreaming while leading the way!

Led by their enthusiastic and knowledgeable guidance, we finally arrived at a magnificent restaurant. The restaurant was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of guests coming and going, clearly indicating that it was doing very well.

After a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they begin to abstain from grains, experiencing no hunger and no longer needing to rely on food for energy. To reduce the intake of impurities, most cultivators who have abstained from grains restrain their appetites.

To be able to open a restaurant in a city inhabited by cultivators and have such a booming business, the delicious food here must be very popular to attract so many cultivators.

Upon reaching the restaurant entrance, the two little ones became even more reserved. They lowered their heads, shuffled their feet nervously on the ground, clutched the hems of their clothes, and dared not glance into the restaurant, appearing extremely timid and self-conscious.

Seeing this, Lin Yan did not invite them in to eat together. Instead, she gave each of them two low-grade spirit stones and said, "Thank you for showing me the way today and introducing me to various places in Sun City. Let's stop here for today. This is a reward for your good performance."

I was speaking to a stranger, and my voice wasn't particularly gentle, but I tried my best to be mild-mannered.

The reason I didn't invite the two of them in for a meal wasn't because I looked down on them, but because I saw their anxiety and inferiority complex.

If I take them in myself, we'll only attract more attention. They probably won't be able to handle so many scrutinizing glances, or even some unfriendly ones.

The reason for not giving them more spirit stones was simple. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Giving them more spirit stones would attract unscrupulous cultivators who would try to steal them. Giving each of them two low-grade spirit stones was both an affirmation of their work and within the acceptable range for the two little ones.

There aren't many spirit stones, so those with ill intentions wouldn't bother to steal them; they'd be better off keeping them.

Sigh, doing good deeds is really troublesome, especially doing good deeds to people; there are so many things to consider. Sometimes, what you see as a good deed is a disaster for someone else.

After they left, Lin Yan didn't go into the restaurant immediately. Instead, she took out her communication jade disc and sent a message to Mu Feng saying that she had arrived in Richeng and was currently in front of a certain restaurant.

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone! Remember to keep warm! Thanks for the recommendation votes and monthly tickets! (*)
