Chapter 124 Thoughts

They rode as fast as they could and arrived at Wangshu Inn in the afternoon. There was still a lot of time before the sun set. After checking in and putting down their luggage, they did not rest in the room, but went out to play around the inn.

Lin Huan brought Ye Qi to the Dihuazhou Plain to fight against the monsters. Then, Ye Qi had a lot of fun, and Lin Huan was responsible for protecting her, never leaving her side.

Halfway through the journey, Xiao appeared beside Lin Huan, holding a bag of sunset fruits in his hand. He handed it to Lin Huan: "Here. Call that girl back... She must be exhausted after a long day of traveling and playing."

Lin Huan was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Xiao in front of him, who was caring about the people around him with a serious and worried look, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go call Xiaoqi back."

Over there, Ye Qi was fighting with a group of fire slimes. When Lin Huan approached, the little guy ended the fight and ran back happily. Looking down at Ye Qi's sweaty head and the tip of her nose, Lin Huan wiped the sweat from her forehead with his sleeves and said softly, "Okay, we have enough exercise today. Let's rest for a while, eat something, and then go back to sleep."

Ye Qi nodded obediently and let Lin Huan lead her towards the inn. Suddenly, she noticed the bag in Lin Huan's hand. The sunset fruit in the bag seemed to be gone when he ran back to her after fighting.

"Aunt Huan, someone came just now...right?"

"um, yes,"

Lin Huan touched her head and said, "Someone is here. He is paying close attention to you. Can you guess who it is?"

Ye Qi paused, then suddenly realized something and blinked her big eyes and said excitedly: "I know who it is, it's the Demon-Subduing Great Sage, right?!"

“Puchi——” Lin Huan was amused by her and rubbed her furry little head: “Yes, our little Aqi is still smart. She is worthy of being our little fairy.”

The aunt and niece walked slowly towards where Xiao was standing. Ye Qi was holding a sunset fruit in her hand, chewing it with relish as she walked. But when she got closer, she didn't see any trace of the green thin figure. I guess it flew away again...

"I thought... he would wait for me..." Ye Qi pulled her sleeve a little aggrieved.

Lin Huan smiled, stopped, half-knelt down beside the little girl, looked at her, and spoke softly.

"Xiao Qi, it's not that the Great Sage who Conquers Demons doesn't want to see you, it's just that he has a contract with the Emperor. In order to protect the fireworks of the world, he must fight day and night with those demons that are stained with the residue of demons and mutated demons. Therefore, his body is stained with bloody evil spirits and karma, which cannot be washed off or shaken off, and he suffers a lot. These karmas are harmful to the human body... and he is a little afraid that the miasma on his body will hurt ordinary people, hurt you... So he would rather avoid the crowd and stay away from the bustling town, rather than let you get close to him and get hurt. Xiao Qi, can you understand his wish?"

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Qi nodded, holding the sunset fruit in her hand. So, this bag of fruit from Mond...what kind of intention could that Yaksha Immortal have?

"I understand, Auntie Huan." Xiao Qi rubbed the corners of her eyes with her hands and smiled, "I know."

Under the setting sun, Lin Huan led his horse to Ye Qi's side, looking at the gradually darkening sky in the distance and the eye-catching inn not far away, which was already lit up, like a beacon, guarding every traveler coming and going here...

She whispered, "Did you have fun today?"

"Okay, good boy... We're tired after a day, let's go back to the inn to eat something, take a bath, and have a good rest... We have to travel again tomorrow."
