Chapter 45

The overflowing holy light directly engulfed Luolin.

And its source was actually just a little girl who appeared to be only about ten years old!

This filled Luolin with excitement—ah no, it should be said it was a sense of guilt.

And Ke'er just bent down to pick it up. She said somewhat woodenly:

"Ah, it fell off. This... how should I put it on?"

But Ke'er had no idea how this piece of fabric could be worn as clothing, so for a moment she seemed at a loss, pulling the fabric around on her body in a mess.

More importantly, she completely failed to cover the important parts.

"Wuu wuu wuu... This... Ke'er doesn't know how..."

So she waved her hands while also pulling at the fabric on her body, looking at Luolin helplessly.

Luolin couldn't take it anymore. Who could resist such a scene!

But Luolin couldn't just help with his hands, right? Wouldn't that be... inappropriate?

Luolin even felt that just watching like this was very inappropriate, so he covered his eyes with his hands and looked through the gaps between his fingers.

Luolin sought help from Lin'er, and only then did Lin'er pull Ke'er over and arrange her clothes.

"Alright, this way is fine."

Lin'er said, and continued to say to Ke'er:

"Ke'er, you can't do this. Girls can't just take off their clothes casually, understand?"

"Oh..."

Ke'er still nodded woodenly.

"Your clothes are too simple."

Luolin said helplessly. Rather than calling them clothes, they were really just pieces of fabric, and there were no other undergarments either.

"At the very least, you should wear underwear. You're at the age when you should."

Luolin had just noticed that Ke'er's small chest had already developed slightly.

Ah, he only discovered it by chance. Luolin definitely hadn't looked carefully.

"But we don't have money to buy clothes, and no one will buy them for us either."

Ke'er said with her head lowered, her voice sounding very humble. Luolin could roughly tell that they probably had their difficulties.

Luolin took out a few copper coins from his body and said:

"If you don't mind, take them."

However, Lin'er pushed away Luolin's hand and shook her head:

"Thank you, big brother, but we can't take them. Even if we did, they wouldn't be of any use."

Lin'er said.

This was incomprehensible to Luolin. How could money be useless?

There was nothing more useful than money in this world. But seeing Lin'er's expression, she really didn't want to take it, so Luolin put it back.

"Alright then."

Luolin said helplessly.

"Thank you, big brother. You're a good person. Ke'er and I will remember you, because no one has ever been this kind to us before."

Lin'er said this and pulled Ke'er back two steps.

"Big brother, we have to go now. We need to finish bathing quickly and go back. It would be terrible if they discovered us."

Lin'er said, already pulling Ke'er back two steps and walking away.

And Luolin? He was still standing in the same spot.

"Go ahead without worry, I'll keep watch here. No one will get past me to the riverside."

Luolin spoke again. He didn't know whether those two had heard what he said clearly, but they had already left, leaving behind two small retreating figures.

"Two little girls in a place like this is really too dangerous."

Even Luolin thought so. However, there shouldn't be any monsters or the like appearing in this vicinity.

Luolin continued keeping watch through the night. As night fell, Ailuka gradually woke up. The moment she awoke, she saw Luolin standing there, gazing in a certain direction.

"What are you doing over there?"

Ailuka asked while rubbing her eyes. The coat covering her body fell off due to her movement. Ailuka stared at the coat for a moment, and noticing Luolin's wooden expression, deliberately threw the coat aside.

"Hey, that's my stuff. Don't get it dirty."

"Hmph, I think your clothes are dirty."

Ailuka said with her arms crossed and head turned aside. She also glanced in the direction Luolin had been watching.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing..."

Luolin shook his head. Actually, he was thinking that those two little girls had been gone so long without any sign of activity—had something unexpected happened to them?

Luolin was somewhat worried. At the very least, he wanted to go check on them.

"Ailuka, could you keep watch for a bit? I want to go somewhere. I'll be back soon."

Luolin said. Ailuka was even more surprised.

"What are you going to do?"

Ailuka looked quite interested, though she quickly added another sentence.

"I'm just asking. I'm not interested in what you want to do at all."

Her appearance had absolutely no persuasive power whatsoever. Luolin shook his head helplessly. At least someone needed to stay here and keep watch, so it was better not to let Ailuka come along.

"I'm going to pee. What, do you want to come along?"

"Go to hell!"

After a moment of silence, Ailuka casually picked up a stone from the ground and threw it. With tremendous force, the stone embedded itself directly into a tree stump.

If Luolin hadn't dodged, that would have been trouble...

"What are you doing? Trying to kill someone!"

Luolin also shouted at Ailuka.

Ailuka turned her head aside, completely refusing to look at Luolin directly. However, her cheeks bore two unmistakable rosy blushes.

"If... if you're going, then hurry up and go by yourself! Peeing together or whatever, are you a pervert?"
