Chapter 18

"Here's the town!" Lin Yiming stood outside the town's gate, looking at the bustling and massive town, feeling utterly bewildered. This was his first time coming to the town.

Originally, he had heard from the villagers that the town was wonderful, but he hadn't paid much attention. However, today, upon seeing it, he was completely stunned. This wasn't just a town; it was practically a big city!

Regardless of the level of technology, just the level of prosperity would make it a second-tier city on Earth!

"It's already very late. Let's find a place to sleep temporarily outside, and then we'll look for the Minong Trading Company to exchange for food tomorrow," an old farmer said in the crowd.

"Why go outside? Why do we need to go outside?" Lin Yiming, with a puzzled look, turned to the old farmer beside him: "I know everyone doesn't want to spend extra money on an inn. But we've already come to the town. If something unexpected happens while we sleep outside, it would be a huge loss. It's safer to stay at an inn. Let's go to an inn."

The old farmers initially wanted to refuse, but upon second thought, they agreed. If they encountered any danger outside at this time, it would be a significant loss.

In the end, they found a relatively clean inn and booked four rooms. Lin Yiming took one room, Guoguo took another, and the remaining two rooms were shared by the old farmers. Although they were staying at an inn, they didn't want to spend more money, so they tried to save as much as possible. After all, it was Lin Yiming's money.

After selecting the rooms, everyone started eating in the inn's hall. This was just an ordinary inn, with no signature dishes. The food was simple, and everyone ordered without much fuss, just enough to fill their stomachs. They ordered few dishes but a lot of steamed buns and rice.

After a day of travel, Lin Yiming was also hungry. When the food was served, he picked up a piece of green vegetable and took a big bite of rice. Accidentally looking up, he almost dropped his jaw in surprise.

In his line of sight, the twelve- or thirteen-year-old Guoguo didn't even pick up any vegetables, but opened her mouth and swallowed half a steamed bun, which was about the size of his fist.

This little girl, how long has it been since she last ate to be this hungry?

Lin Yiming felt he was already very hungry, and he was eating much faster than usual. However, he had just finished one bowl of rice, and Guoguo had already eaten five large steamed buns, and her small, fair hand was reaching for another one.

Lin Yiming swallowed hard, noticing that the old farmers were also staring at Guoguo in shock.

Guoguo, seemingly feeling everyone's gaze, finished the steamed bun in her hand, looked up at Lin Yiming, and asked softly, "Are there more steamed buns? I'm still not full."

"Not full?" Lin Yiming felt his worldview was collapsing: "Guoguo, how much more do you need to eat? Big brother will get you more."

"I don't know. I'm only two-thirds full," Guoguo said seriously. Her words made Lin Yiming feel utterly defeated. She had already eaten six large steamed buns, which he couldn't even finish, and she was only two-thirds full. Would she need to eat thirty steamed buns to be full?

Guoguo didn't eat thirty steamed buns but stopped after twenty, gently rubbing her small stomach and muttering to herself, "Guoguo won't eat anymore. Mom said to eat only until you're six or seven-tenths full."

"Mom? You remember your mom? Do you know who your mom is?"

"Mom is just mom. Guoguo just remembers!"

Lin Yiming, watching Guoguo eat one steamed bun after another, felt numb. It seemed she really had amnesia! Even though she remembered her mom, she didn't remember her name... However, looking at Guoguo's very slim figure, he wondered where all the steamed buns went.

No wonder Guoguo said joining the bandits was the only way to get enough to eat. And that little bearded bandit, when he rebelled, it couldn't have been because Guoguo ate too much, right? Now, she's with me, and at this rate, it won't be long before I can't support her.

Thinking about this, Lin Yiming felt a headache coming on.

After the meal, everyone returned to their rooms.

In his room, Lin Yiming had just started practicing for a while when someone knocked on the door. Opening it, he found Guoguo standing there, looking lively.

"Can I come in?" Guoguo lifted her head, her big eyes blinking at Lin Yiming.

Lin Yiming felt a sudden dizziness. It was late at night, and Guoguo, a girl, suddenly came to his room and wanted to come in. Could she have feelings for him?

Although Guoguo was still young, ...

Lin Yiming scanned Guoguo's body from head to toe. She looked small, but the parts that should have developed had developed. Guoguo was also very beautiful. If something good were to happen, he wouldn't be as virtuous as Liu Xiaohui.

In Lin Yiming's wild thoughts, Guoguo walked into the room and closed the door.

Hearing the door close, Lin Yiming's heart skipped a beat. In his previous life, he had seen similar scenes in movies. What would happen next?

"Are you a Wu Fa realm warrior?" Guoguo suddenly asked.

Lin Yiming was stunned. What was going on? The direction of events seemed different from what he had imagined. Wu Fa realm? Why was she asking this?

Wu Fa realm, the gap between him and that realm was not just a little. It was something he could only aspire to. There probably weren't any Wu Fa realm warriors in the entire town.

"I am not a Wu Fa realm warrior," Lin Yiming answered truthfully, feeling a bit strange: "I am just an ordinary warrior."

"An ordinary warrior? That's good enough," Guoguo said seriously: "I just remembered a very powerful move. I'll teach it to you."

Lin Yiming stared at the little girl in front of him, feeling very strange. A girl who looked younger than him suddenly came to his room in the middle of the night to teach him a move. It all felt very odd.

However, Guoguo didn't wait for him to speak and immediately raised her hands.

"This move is called 'Surging Waves.'"

Guoguo pushed her hands forward, and suddenly, the room was filled with countless palm shadows, dense and surging like waves.

Lin Yiming took a deep breath. Even though the move wasn't aimed at him, he could feel the suffocating pressure of the palm shadows. But it wasn't over yet.

The palm shadows suddenly changed, like terrifying waves crashing against a massive reef, rising into the air in waves several meters high. The air was filled with crisp sounds.

"Actually, 'Surging Waves' is a move that can be divided into two parts: 'Surging' and 'Waves.' The true killing move is not the more impressive 'Surging' but 'Waves,'" Guoguo explained after demonstrating the move's power. Her expression suddenly changed, and she didn't look like a twelve-year-old girl anymore.

Lin Yiming could clearly feel the powerful force of the move. Even in his sect, he had never seen such a powerful move.

He listened very carefully, but in one night, he couldn't learn the move. A move of such power couldn't be learned in a short time.

However, after using a small knife to cut through space and absorbing the spiritual energy of the immortal realm three times, he felt he was one step closer to the Wu Dao Ling Xin.

"Guoguo, this little girl is really strange. She looks younger than me, but her strength is not lower than mine. Such talent would be considered a genius anywhere. And she eats so much. Last night, she taught me a powerful move.

She taught me such a powerful move so casually. Where did she learn it from, and what is her background?"

Lin Yiming felt more and more mysterious about Guoguo. Unconsciously, the sky had already brightened.

After watching Guoguo finish her breakfast with satisfaction, Lin Yiming and everyone left the inn and headed to the Minong Trading Company. However, when they arrived, they learned that the company opened late and would not open for some time.

Seeing this, they could only return to the inn.

However, Lin Yiming didn't return to the inn with everyone else but walked towards the most prosperous street in the town.

In the center of the most prosperous street in the town, there stood a large four-story building, grand and eye-catching.

"Such a large auction house, larger than a stadium in my previous life," Lin Yiming thought to himself as he stepped into the building.

That guy Zhao Yongli still owes me money!

After he left last time, for some reason, he never brought the money. However, he had said to come to the auction house to get the money.
