"What do you mean? Can't I have a better idea?" Paimon retorted, flying a little higher. "Flying a little higher makes me a better idea!"
"Then tell me your brilliant insights."
"Going to Inazuma is not a problem, but I heard that Inazuma is currently under lockdown. How can we get there?"
Paimon's question was also Ying's doubt, and the two of them looked at Lu Lin together.
"This is not difficult, I have a way."
Lu Lin's approach was still the Southern Cross fleet. He had heard Ning Guang say that the Southern Cross fleet was resting near Guyun Pavilion, and after resting, it would set sail for Daozuma.
During the Liyue Crisis, Lu Lin had already met Beidou, the leader of the Southern Cross fleet.
It was Beidou that brought the intelligence about unusual activity in the outer sea, which allowed Lu Lin, with his God's-eye view, to make the judgment that Ba Che would also appear, and thus made preparations in advance to deal with the two demon gods.
However, there was only a brief contact at the time, and after Beidou went to sea again, there was no further contact.
Lu Lin wasn't worried about not being able to speak. Ning Guang and Bei Dou were very close, so if they had trouble communicating, she could help put in a good word for them.
After setting their goal, Ying felt much better, and the group didn't waste any time, heading straight towards Guyun Pavilion.
Lu Lin has always been relatively low-key. Although he made great contributions during the Liyue Crisis, not many people actually know him.
In terms of fame, he is far less well-known than the blonde traveler who has been active in Liyue.
So when Lu Lin thought he could get Beidou's help just by having good looks, he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to see Beidou at all.
The crew didn't know him at all, so of course no one would agree to his request to see Beidou.
Fortunately, Ying was very recognizable, and a crew member recognized the famous traveler and helped to inform him.
......
"Wow, I didn't expect to have such distinguished guests. We've really been neglecting you!" After Lu Lin and the others waited for a while, Bei Dou's cheerful voice rang out.
Lu Lin turned around and saw a dashing woman striding towards him. She wore a deep red battle dress, black boots, and shorts, her thigh muscles firm and strong.
Her long black hair was held up with a hairpin, and her brows revealed a sharp edge. Her right eye was covered by an eye patch, while her left eye shone with a lively and sharp light, making her appear very shrewd and capable.
Because of years of sailing at sea, his skin has a healthy wheat color, which makes him look more capable.
What caught Lu Lin's attention the most was the size of her ample bosom, which he estimated to be a D cup, but it was hidden deep within her robes and difficult to see.
What a shrewd and capable mature woman!
Lu Lin couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"Captain Beidou, it's been a long time!"
"Mr. Lu and the traveler are honored guests. May I ask what brings you to the Southern Cross fleet?" Beidou's smile was bright and cheerful, with a strong infectious quality.
“We’re planning to go to Inazuma. We’ve heard that Captain Hokuto has connections, so we’re hoping to hitch a ride with him,” Lu Lin said bluntly.
"You want to go to Inazuma? That place isn't safe right now."
"It is precisely because things are not peaceful that we want to ask Captain Beidou for help."
"Hmm~ That's easy. You can just come with us when the time comes, but..."
"But what?" Ying asked, blinking her eyes.
“We happen to be organizing a Southern Cross martial arts tournament. Since you two are already here, why don’t you personally join in and have a few exchanges?” Beidou extended a warm invitation.
Lu Lin wasn't interested in this kind of competition, but the system notification suddenly sounded.
[Ding! Random quest triggered: Martial Arts Championship]
[Mission Objective: Participate in the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament and win the championship!]
[Task Rewards: 1 million Mora, 200 points, 200 experience points, and one randomly assigned keyword!]
Now that the system task has been triggered, I really have to participate in this competition.
"That's a good suggestion. Since we're already here, let's join in the fun!" Lu Lin nodded in agreement.
"Then I'm going to go for the championship!" Ying, being an active person, was already eager to try.
"Haha, you two shouldn't underestimate the hidden talents of Liyue! With the great hero who saved Liyue participating, it might attract even more powerful individuals!"
Beidou enthusiastically pulled the two of them aside: "Come on, I'll take you to the camp and introduce you to the competition."
The competition officially begins tomorrow, and the champion's prize is an unclaimed Eye of God provided by Maple Leaf. This development coincides with the plot in Lu Lin's memory.
I met with this wandering samurai from Inazuma and we talked a lot about the Inazuma seclusion edict and the Eye Hunt edict. It was evening by then.
Dinner was a group meal. Beidou likes to drink, and Lu Lin has a good alcohol tolerance. He drank quite a bit with her, and the two became drinking buddies!
Lu Lin wanted to keep Ying company and help her relax. After dinner, he decided to rest at the campsite instead of returning to Chen Ge Hu.
Paimon had been busy all day and had a big meal in the evening, so he was sleepy and went to bed early. Lu Lin took advantage of the moonlight to take Ying for a walk.
Lonely Cloud Pavilion was formed from a giant rock spear that Zhongli threw during the war between demons and gods, used to suppress Oser.
After Oser broke the seal last time, Ningguang used the Jade Pavilion to smash it back, causing considerable damage.
However, this did not diminish the magnificent scenery of Guyun Pavilion. Lu Lin and Ying, with their agility, climbed onto a huge rock pillar.
The rock pillar is tall and wide, like a small mountain, with a depression in the middle that can just accommodate two people.
Lu Lin took out a cushion and placed it under himself, then sat down in the depression while holding Ying Jiao's soft body.
Ying has a strong ability to adjust and has already cheered herself up. Now, leaning against her beloved's arms, she feels incredibly safe and warm.
With his body well-fed and clothed, Lu Lin began to indulge in lustful desires and started to act unruly.
He first kissed the blonde girl in his arms, giving her a long, deep kiss.
Then a pair of hands began to explore.
Ying had been working on commissions these past few days and hadn't been intimate with Lu Lin for a few days, so she was very cooperative.
The two skillfully disarmed each other and soon found themselves naked in a rocky crevices where the moonlight couldn't reach.
"It's not far from the camp, so keep your voice down~" Lu Lin whispered in her ear, and after confirming that she was ready, he slowly disappeared into her.
Ying bit her lip, trying her best to control her voice.
Lu Lin supported her slender waist and gradually accelerated.
Another fierce battle in the wild! There's been a lot of outdoor activity lately.
Lu Lin still had the energy to think outside the box.
The Lonely Cloud Pavilion was quite quiet at night, with only the incessant sound of the waves. Occasionally, Ying would let out a syllable or two, but it was all drowned out by the sound of the waves.
"Do you feel better?"
"Mmm~ much better." Ying bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you!"
Chapter 151 Beidou's Dissatisfaction
The Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament began smoothly the next day, with Lu Lin and Ying participating.
Beidou made a small announcement about the Travelers' participation in the competition, which indeed attracted many skilled amateurs.
However, there is a rule in the competition that those who possess the Eye of God cannot participate. No matter how strong an ordinary person is, there is always a limit.
They would be no match for Lu Lin and Ying.
On the first day, the two overcame all obstacles and advanced smoothly to the second day of the competition.
As the owner of the Eye of God, Beidou was naturally not allowed to participate in the competition, but she had been watching the battles. Seeing Lu Lin's calm and unrestrained fighting, her eyes shone with admiration.
Lu Lin is handsome and tall. He is wearing a long black trench coat, which gives him an extraordinary temperament. In addition, his charm is enhanced by his "debonair" stat.
What girl wouldn't be captivated by such a sight!
Beidou, who was originally a generous and righteous person, was now developing a strong liking for Lu Lin.
However, her way of expressing her affection was a bit unusual: she challenged someone to a fight first!
"Mr. Lu is indeed very skilled. After the competition, I must have a good spar with Mr. Lu!"
"Hehe, if Captain Beidou is interested, I will certainly keep him company." Lu Lin agreed with a smile.
He also really liked this kind of cool, capable, and shrewd older woman.
As usual, they ate and drank in the evening, and Pai Mengmeng went to sleep, while Lu Lin took Ying out to enjoy the scenery.
What scenery were you admiring?
Nature is a pure and flawless landscape of young girls.
On the second day of the competition, there was still little suspense. Lu Lin and Ying continued their winning streak and finally met in the final.
The final was on the third day.
Of course, Lu Lin knew that a little mishap would happen in the middle.
A group of thieves coveted the champion's prize. Seeing that they couldn't obtain the unclaimed Eye of God through legitimate means, they decided to steal it.
Since Lu Lin knew about this, he naturally wouldn't let him succeed, which caused even more trouble.
As night deepened, the entire Lonely Cloud Pavilion camp was quiet.
Suddenly, a furtive figure approached the area where the prizes were stored.
But just as he took the Eye of God into his hand, a sharp longsword was placed against his neck.
"Swords and blades have no eyes, so please don't move rashly, my friend."
The thief was caught.
After handing the thief over to Beidou, Lu Lin and Ying quietly left the camp.
Ying noticed that Lu Lin seemed to have become obsessed with outdoor combat lately. Even though he could play in the tent at the camp, he insisted on dragging her out.
Unbeknownst to her, Lu Lin had a wild adventure in the Aozang Mountains a few days ago, which made him completely fall in love with the thrilling environment of the wilderness.
"We have our final match tomorrow, is this the right thing to do?"
Even though she had gotten used to Lu Lin's peculiar habits in this regard, Ying still sometimes felt something was off.
For example, tomorrow is the final of the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament, but the two finalists secretly played cards in the wild the night before.
This doesn't seem right!
"It's precisely because the finals are tomorrow that I'm going to make you weak and sore tonight, and the championship will be mine!" Lu Lin chuckled mischievously, like a villain.
There is something to say.
The outcome of a game can be decided not only on the chessboard, but also outside of it!
The outcome of a competition doesn't necessarily have to be decided on the fighting stage.
Ying gazed at Lu Lin with her tender, watery eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips: "How do you know that in the end I'll be the one who's exhausted and powerless, instead of you being drained dry?"
"I admire your confidence, so let's have a rehearsal before the final!"
From the same groove in the stone pillar, a soft, delicate voice of a young girl would occasionally escape, only to be drowned out by the sound of the rising and falling waves.
The thief has been taken away by Qianyan Army, and the finals proceeded smoothly.
In Lu Lin's memory of the story, Bei Dou didn't watch the final because he had to report to Ning Guang.
However, with Lu Lin here today, Ningguang wasn't worried about anything going wrong, so Beidou was also able to witness the earth-shattering showdown she had been looking forward to!
Beidou is a discerning person. Even though Lu Lin and Ying didn't go all out in the battle a few days ago, she could tell that these two were very strong.
Therefore, I am very much looking forward to this match.
But when they actually got on stage, Beidou discovered that it wasn't like that at all!
The two fought quite fiercely, exchanging blows with dazzling swordplay, appearing to be very serious.
But Beidou was an expert, and she could tell that the two of them were weak and powerless, especially Ying, who looked like she hadn't eaten yesterday and hadn't shown her true strength at all!
Is this a match-fixing incident?
Beidou was a little angry. She was straightforward and outspoken by nature, and she hated things that were roundabout and unpleasant, especially things like match-fixing.
Even if you two are in a relationship and don't want to hurt each other's feelings, you can't make it so obvious, right?
However, out of consideration for Ningguang and not wanting to ruin the audience's viewing experience, Beidou suppressed his dissatisfaction.
