Humming a tune, Dragon Spirit strode out of the association’s main gate, feeling a bit curious about what Ginsengfruit had bought.
From a distance, he spotted a group of people trailing behind Ginsengfruit.
Scenes from TV dramas imdiately flashed in Dragon Spirit’s mind: "This, this I don’t want, everything else, wrap it up!"
However, Dragon Spirit didn’t go up to greet Ginsengfruit.
The two exchanged a glance from afar, then moved on like strangers.
Half an hour later, Dragon Spirit and Ginsengfruit t again in the small courtyard.
Dragon Spirit had already checked on the children in the backyard. The mont one foot stepped into the backyard,
a deafening cry made Dragon Spirit swiftly retract his foot.
He couldn’t help but feel relieved, thankful that taking care of these little rascals was not his job.
When Ginsengfruit returned and saw Dragon Spirit sitting by the stone table in the front yard, sipping tea, he was sowhat surprised.
"Why are you back?"
Dragon Spirit put down the teacup and, with an unusually gentle tone, said to Ginsengfruit, "It’s going to be hard on you for a while."
Indeed, it will be tough with so many big kids; just tending to their daily needs takes quite a while.
The spending on money and other resources doesn’t an much; what’s most consuming is the ntal effort.
After seeing what he wanted to see, Dragon Spirit stood up straight away.
"I should head back now, besides, I will probably be going to the Holy City soon, so you’ll have to handle things here."
Originally expressionless, Ginsengfruit’s face lit up with surprise upon hearing that Dragon Spirit was going to the Holy City.
It seed that the ti they would find the Heavenly Book wasn’t far off, and soon they could return!
"Don’t worry, I can handle this!"
Back then, the host had entrusted all affairs of Qingfeng Temple to him, and although he had Mr. Yun’s assistant to help midway,
he was fully responsible for the whole process, and he managed to handle such a massive workload.
Now, it’s just a matter of a few dozen little ones with help around; it’s a piece of cake.
After Dragon Spirit left, Ginsengfruit resignedly began moving the items to the backyard.
Looking at the mountains of supplies, Lü Wu finally got a sense of how exhausting it could be to "raise human cubs."
As for the people from the Divine Hall who were instructed to stay in the backyard and were not allowed to leave,
for years, they’ve been used to doing everything themselves, so taking care of kids was no big deal for them.
Previously, they thought that after the owner of the courtyard found out the secret of the Divine Hall from them, they’d be disposed of.
When they were filled with anxiety, they were assigned the task of taking care of the children.
Just half a day in, they completely ran out of energy to think about anything else.
After coaxing, feeding, and cleaning up one child, another started crying.
Ginsengfruit saw that these people were now being put to good use and weren’t being supported for nothing, feeling satisfied.
Since becoming the Grand Steward of Qingfeng Temple, Ginsengfruit had habitually calculated everything.
After getting the courtyard affairs sorted and back on track,
Yun Ran had made new discoveries.
Even though there was a special connection between the copper mirrors, it didn’t an there was a precise coordinate waiting for Yun Ran to claim.
At most, the mirror could only point Yun Ran in a general direction; the rest was up to her to find.
The place where the third copper mirror appeared wasn’t so desolate wilderness.
Gazing at the town ahead, far larger than Zhen, Yun Ran’s eyes were full of determination.
Following others entering the city, Yun Ran entered the sowhat bustling city without any incidents.
Her first priority was to find a place to rest.
At this mont, the little paperman returned to Yun Ran’s side.
With an Ignore Talisman stuck on its body, it appeared blatantly without fearing being noticed.
"Master, the kids are all handed over to the boss, the boss drafted all those people from the Divine Hall~"
This outco was within Yun Ran’s expectations. If not for ensuring there were enough people in the courtyard to take care of the kids,
Yun Ran wouldn’t have sent them back.
"Hmm, well done."
Yun Ran wasn’t stingy with praise; even if it was just the little paperman entirely controlled by her, as long as it did well, it received praise and rewards.
The little paperman’s dark face, with unclear features, let out a chuckle.
Being praised, the little paperman was happy and a bit shy.
Yun Ran reached out to pat the little paperman’s head: "While your Ignore Talisman hasn’t worn off, go probe the city’s situation."
"Yes, I’m on it."
With that, the little paperman zood off.
Watching her little paperman acting as a scout, Yun Ran’s eyes brimd with pride.
Who else could forge a magic artifact more considerate than her little paperman~
Soon enough, Yun Ran found a sowhat decent-looking inn, bustling with diners inside.
The scene was full of lively, everyday life.
Even though this small world within the spatial rift progressed slowly compared to outside,
it still had much to offer.
For instance, most things weren’t infused with technology and intense effects.
The aroma of food filled much of the human sense of happiness.
"Miss, may I ask what you would like to eat?"
As soon as Yun Ran walked in, soone warmly greeted her with a genuine smile, far from a professional fake smile.
"Bring so of your best signature dishes."
"Alright, this way, please."
Yun Ran chose a quiet, out-of-the-way corner seat, seemingly not ideal,
but from there, she could see the entire inn.
Inns, though bustling, were perfect places to gather information.
After sitting down, Yun Ran began to pay attention to the conversations around her.
If she wanted, she could hear every word spoken there.
Unfortunately, until her food was served, all she heard was idle chatter.
"Miss, your food is ready, please enjoy~"
After surviving on dry rations for so long, looking at the delicious dishes before her, Yun Ran finally felt hungry.
