Xu Lian drove a donkey cart carrying Yang Ye and Zhang Yuan to the mine. They filled in their employment registration at the mine's registration office and started working.
Zhang Yuan and Yang Ye are both stone movers, doing physical work. Xu Lian is now a stone transporter. He just has to sit and wait for the stone movers to load the truck, which is much easier.
"Brother Lian, could you please stop imitating me as a stone carrier?"
Zhang Yuan, who was exhausted, sweaty and out of breath, saw Xu Lian sitting under a tree with his hands in his sleeves watching him work, exactly the same as when he was a stone carrier. This made him feel sick.
Xu Lian said, "I didn't imitate you. The weather is cold and other stone transporters also put their hands in their sleeves to keep warm."
Yang Ye patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "This is what happens when people are unlucky. They always feel that others are laughing at them with every move. You think too much."
Zhang Yuan remained silent.
Xu Lian watched the stone movers working while thinking about his own things.
Now that he has reached the Skin Refining Stage, he finally has a little bit of self-protection ability. Of course, he knows very well that this strength is far from enough to rest easy.
Who knows what accidents will happen in such a strange and chaotic world
What if a powerful monster gets in a bad mood one day and massacres a town? Such a thing is possible. In the face of such a disaster, what is the use of the skin refining period
"I can't slack off. I have to continue to improve my strength. Only when I am strong enough can I stand firmly in this strange and chaotic world."
"Sister Xiya's favorability towards me has reached 91/100. I have a free advancement point, and I only need one python tendon to complete the advancement. I have to find a way to get the python tendon."
"And Chan'er, I can take her back tonight. I've only met her once, and her favorability towards me is definitely not as high as Sister Xiya's. It's impossible for her to be above 90/100 right away. I have to cultivate a good relationship with her in order to gain more advancement points."
Xu Lian should always be prepared for danger in times of peace. He must not be careless in this strange and chaotic world.
"Brother Lian, the car is loaded, we can go now."
Yang Ye called him affectionately.
Zhang Yuan looked at Yang Ye, then at Xu Lian. He didn't know how the two of them got to know each other, so he asked Yang Ye curiously, "I haven't seen you two talk to each other before, but today it seems like you two are getting along well?"
Yang Ye said, "There's nothing to hide. My daughter is old enough to find a man. I think Lian Ge'er is suitable, so I brought him to my home to see him. He likes my daughter very much, and my daughter likes him too. They have already decided."
Zhang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Your daughter has just reached the age to find a man. She should still be a virgin, right? Lian'er just started working as a stone carrier yesterday. How can he afford to marry a virgin?"
Yang Ye said, "Just owe it first, and pay it back slowly."
Zhang Yuan snorted, "He still owes Brother Liang fifteen taels of silver, and he dares to marry a virgin girl without paying for it. He just got a job as a stone carrier, but he's already spending so lavishly that his money has gone to waste. I wonder how he'll pay it back in the future!"
Xu Lian had sharp ears and heard every word Zhang Yuan said, but he ignored Zhang Yuan. It was understandable that this childhood friend who grew up with him might feel unbalanced to see that he was living a good life.
He got up and walked over, driving the donkey cart towards the town's dock.
The dirt road was bumpy and difficult to walk on. Moreover, the little black donkey was not fully grown yet and did not have enough strength. The wheels of the cart often got stuck in the potholes and could not get out, so he had to get off and push the cart.
Fortunately, he is very strong. Ordinary people would not be able to use this little black donkey to do stone-carrying work.
"Are you a warrior?"
A crisp voice was heard.
Who is speaking
Xu Lian looked around and didn't see any human figures, but he saw a little white fox slowly walking out of the bushes, with lively eyes and a delicate figure.
He was startled. A fox that can speak human language
Could it be... could it be the foxy girl in the legend
His body was tense, ready to draw his sword at any time. He couldn't figure out the strength of the monster that could speak human language.

"I am just a little stronger than the average person... I am not a warrior."
Xu Lian bowed and saluted. People don’t blame others for being polite, so the monster shouldn’t be surprised either, right
The white fox said calmly, "Do you think you can hide it from me? An ordinary person cannot have such great strength. Moreover, I can sense the vigorous blood and energy in your body, and I can also see the luster of your skin. You must be a warrior in the Skin Refining Stage without a doubt."
Xu Lian quickly apologized with a smile, "Fairy Fox, you have a really good eye. Nothing can be hidden from you."
The white fox snorted, "You are quite good at talking. What school or sect did you learn from?"
The master is to "break the sleep" with Sister Xiya... Xu Lian explained, "I don't have a master, and I have never practiced martial arts. It's just that by chance I took a spiritual herb and tempered my body, so I have the strength of a warrior in the skin refining stage."
Hearing this, Bai Hu seemed to be thinking about something. "So you became a warrior by relying on some unconventional methods. No wonder you have the strength of a warrior in the Skin Refining Stage, but you work as a stone carrier in the mine."
It has already figured it out in its mind... What else could Xu Lian say? He could only nod and say "yes".
The white fox looked Xu Lian up and down with his lively eyes, "I think you are quite smart and capable. Are you interested in working under me?"
Xu Lian didn't dare to follow a vixen of unknown origin casually. Who knows what kind of danger he would encounter
He said with difficulty, "I am weak, I am afraid I can't do anything for the fox fairy. I don't have any big ambitions. I am already satisfied working in the mine to earn food and support my family."
As if seeing the worry in his heart, the white fox's little mouth slightly curved up, "You are quite cautious, don't you think that if I wanted to harm you, you would already be a corpse by now, do I need to tell you so much?"
That’s true... Xu Lian didn’t know what to say, so he just remained silent.
White Fox said, "You work in the mine, which is actually equivalent to working under me. Do you know my identity?"
Xu Lian was puzzled and didn't understand why it said that. "Please let me know."
The white fox said, "All the quarries in Green Bamboo Town belong to the Yi Cult. I am the Yi Cult's mining inspector. All the quarries in Green Bamboo Town are within my inspection authority. Do you understand?"
Xu Lian was surprised. He didn’t expect the quarry had such a deep background and was actually related to the sect
But, he changed his mind and felt something was wrong.
A quarry just mines some stones and transports them to the county town to sell for some money. What's so special about it that is worthy of any sect's attention
Is Yijiao so free
Or, is the Yi religion so poor? ... that they value even the little money earned from the quarry so much
There are two possibilities.
First, this vixen was lying and trying to deceive him;
Second, what secrets does the quarry have that he doesn’t know about
In order to verify his guess, Xu Lian asked tentatively, "Is there anything worth inspecting in the quarry?"
Baihu couldn't help but look at him twice more, "You are really smart. You discovered the secret of the mine from what I said."
