Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Then you're welcome, I'm really a little hungry!" Sun Jingyi turned around and took the backpack, took out a box of milk and a box of biscuits, and wolfed it down. In front of Lin Yi, she didn't pretend to be polite. The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and there was no need for Sun Jingyi to pretend to be in front of Lin Yi.

After eating a few bites, Sun Jingyi asked Lin Yi: "You really don't want to eat?"

"I really don't want to eat." Lin Yi said, "I can replenish my physical strength during practice."

"Okay, then I'll eat it myself." Sun Jingyi nodded and said.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi drove out of the national highway and came to a small town. Passing by a gas station, Lin Yi filled up the gas, then filled up the auxiliary fuel tank in the trunk, and then drove to a second-hand store. At the door of the fourteen-hour porridge shop, he said: "Come in and sit down?"

"Okay." Sun Jingyi ate a few biscuits but it was of no use. She slept all day and was hungry all day. She was not like Lin Yi, who could replenish her strength by practicing without eating or drinking.

The two of them came to the porridge shop together. Inside the porridge shop, there were a few tables of customers in twos and threes, not many people.

Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi ordered two drawers of small steamed buns, a bucket of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and a few side dishes, and started eating. The cost here was not high, and the total cost was less than a hundred yuan, which was enough for two people. But not bad.

After eating, Lin Yi continued to drive, and a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon. It was the next day.

"There are still about a thousand kilometers..." Lin Yi looked at the prompts on the car's navigation and said to Sun Jingyi.

"The population here is getting sparse." Sun Jingyi looked out the window and sighed: "Why did my parents leave a map of this place?"

"Who knows this? You won't know until you get there." Lin Yi said.

At nearly noon, Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi arrived at the last town on the border. After leaving this town, it was another country, and most of the Wulonghot Mountains were outside the border.

At the border, there should be border guards responsible for patrolling and guarding, so Lin Yi did not drive to the border rashly. Instead, he parked the car in front of a hotel that combines restaurants and accommodation in this town, and prepared to stay here Let’s eat something first and inquire about the situation here while eating.

The four big characters "Longmen Inn" with dancing dragons and phoenixes come into view! The style of the entire inn is basically similar to the style of the inn where Lin Yi stayed in Bingxueling Town. The same decoration style, the same simplicity, and the same naming method.

However, there were obviously not many cars at the entrance of the inn. Except for Lin Yi's Grand Cherokee, the only ones left were two ordinary vans. One of them had a local license plate, and the other one simply had no license plate. It seemed that It's a scrapped car that hasn't been driven here for a long time.

In short, the feeling here is quiet and simple.

However, after Lin Yi parked his car, he didn't attract many people's attention, as if visitors like Lin Yi were a common sight for them.

As soon as Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi got out of the car, a man dressed in local clothes followed them and asked, "Are you two adventurers from the Tagan family in Ruileda Town?"

"Oh? How do you know?" Lin Yi asked calmly.

Ruileida Town is the last town entering the Wulonghot Mountains. However, this town is not in the country, but outside the border. And according to the information obtained by Sun Jingyi, Ruileida Town is actually an unknown town. In a small town under political power, the actual controller of Ruileda Town is not one person, but several major families in the town jointly control it!

This Tagan family is one of the actual controllers of Ruileda Town! The security in this town is very chaotic, or there is no security at all. It is a paradise for criminals and adventurers. Many international fugitives will flee to this town to evade legal sanctions.

In fact, the land where this town is located should be owned by another small country nearby. However, this place was originally the foothold of a large sect. The power of the sect was astonishing, so this small country did not take back this place. Meaning of mountains.

Later, this sect declined and disappeared overnight, but some tough bandits took the opportunity to occupy this place. Over time, many large and small forces were formed, including families and gangs, so many adventurers and criminals Surrendered to the past.

Of course, there is not much online information about the extent of chaos in Ruileida Town. After all, it is a town outside the border and has little relationship with most people in the country. There are only sporadic information.

This is why Lin Yi parked the car near Ruileda Town, the last small town within the border, to inquire for information.

Although this town and Ruileda Town are separated by a border, they are still far away from each other. People here must know better about the situation over there.

"Hey, this is a small border town, not a tourist resort. The people who come here are not only criminals seeking refuge in Ruileda Town, but also adventurers who want to get high bounties!" The local said proudly. The analysis said: "The two drove here in a grand manner, and the car also has a formal license plate, so at first guess, they are not criminals, so they must be adventurers."

"Haha..." Lin Yi was noncommittal.

The local seemed not to give up the conversation with Lin Yi, but continued: "My name is Hong Kong. I know everything about local affairs. Are you two practitioners?"

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that this person actually knew that he was a cultivator, which surprised Lin Yi! Although there are many cultivators in Lin Yi's circle, for ordinary people, many of them are existences that they will never come into contact with in their lives. Unexpectedly, this local expert is really a local expert and actually knows about the existence of cultivators.

"How do you know?" Lin Yi asked.

"Hehe, most of the adventurers who go to Ruileida Town are cultivators. If they are not cultivators, it is difficult for them to be valued by those families and gangs and entrusted with important tasks. They can only be small minions!" said the local passer: "But if you are a cultivator, even if you are a cultivator at the early stage of Huang level, you will be treated with great respect as a guest, and you will be entrusted with some important tasks such as hunting spiritual beasts or collecting herbs in the Wulonghot Mountains!"

"Oh...then we can't be ordinary people?" Lin Yi didn't answer any of the questions directly.

"If it's normal, then it's possible that he's an ordinary person who has defected to some gang or family, but these days..." The local official said here and paused deliberately...
