"Yes, we'll go prepare the food right now, and ensure that both you and Lady Dragon God are satisfied."
Only then did the crowd have a bigger reaction, with everyone repeatedly kowtowing three tis before helping each other up and leaving.
I watched everyone walk away, resentfully turning to Yu Longting, "What do you an by this? You make sound like a glutton, needing the whole village to mobilize for a al."
"If I didn't say that, how would they have left?" Yu Longting replied.
The breakfast was as rich as expected, with a long table set up, covered with dozens of different kinds of breakfast dishes, just like a banquet.
I stuffed myself, having only tried four or five dishes, then said as I got up, "Everyone, please sit and eat; I really can't eat anymore."
"Co walk with to aid digestion." Yu Longting took for a walk to help digest the food.
I had eaten too much, and kept belching along the way.
When we passed by the Dragon God Temple, the temple was the sa as before.
Protected by a formation, it would need the formation removed to reveal its true appearance.
In front of the temple gate, several villagers were anxiously discussing sothing.
"What's going on?" I went over to ask.
Seeing us, the villagers hurriedly wanted to kowtow, "We greet the Dragon God, we greet Lady Dragon God."
"No need to kneel." Yu Longting didn't like others kneeling to him either and before they could kneel,
he raised his hand and invisible Qi Force lifted the people up.
The villagers looked astonished, then their faces showed sincere and fearful gratitude, "We were discussing how to enter the Dragon God Temple. The village head's death was sudden; there are too many restrictions set by the formation outside, and outsiders can't get in."
"Yes, Lord Dragon God stopped the rain and didn't bla us; such a grace, we must serve at the temple front."
"If we stop offering incense and worship, it would be a great disrespect to you."
Yu Longting listened, remained silent for a mont, then gave them a few talismans, "Stick these on the outside doors, and from now on the temple will stay visible."
"Thank you, Dragon God."
"Thank you, Lord Dragon God…"
After leaving with Yu Longting, I said, "We should probably head back, Beichen and Xiao Li must be worried by now."
"How is their relationship progressing? When are they getting married?" Yu Longting asked .
I didn't expect Yu Longting to be curious about gossip; I smiled slightly, "It should be soon. They've been treating like a child-giving Guanyin, coming to to ask for children."
As we were speaking, we passed by a household.
A man from that household, reeking of alcohol, was clutching his shoe sole,
and chasing after soone from inside the house while cursing, "Whose little brat are you, daring to steal my pancake? I'll beat you to death."
"Ow, where did this kid co from? He couldn't be one of those missed Yellow Skins, could he?" A middle-aged woman wielding a hoe ca storming out.
I took a close look and was overjoyed to recognize the thin figure biting into the pancake, "Yu Longting, it's Xiao Shenshen! Good thing we bumped into him here; otherwise, we would've left him on the island and gone away."
"This is embarrassing, faring even worse than Xuanjing, can't even feed himself when he's outside, has to resort to stealing pancakes," Yu Longting said bitterly as if he was disappointed, but he was already walking toward the household, to the fence surrounding the yard.
The little cutie clad in a red and yellow shirt and shorts suddenly vaulted over the fence to escape, only to end up crashing into soone else's embrace, "You... let go... I didn't an to bump into you."
"Don't you even recognize now? Have you... lost your mory, you little thing?"
The man, dressed simply in a short-sleeved t-shirt and ordinary jeans appropriate for winter, but wearing an absurdly white mask, caught the little boy who had clumsily run into his arms, and spoke gently to the couple that had chased out after him, "Stop beating him; the poor kid, what harm is there in giving him sothing to eat?"
"Who are you? Since when is stealing right?"
The couple were taken aback, then both glared angrily. The woman was particularly fierce, raising her hoe to smash it on the masked man's head, "
