Chapter 519: Chapter 370: Rewarding Merit Tower

"Hmm?" Owen Bertram looked at Leroy Baker with interest: "Between you and her..."

"Cough, cough." Leroy Baker coughed twice without blushing: "I’ve been romantic since I was young. Between me and Saintess Catherine, there’s nothing for now, but I really want there to be something, and it’s possible, right?"

Anything is possible.

Owen Bertram rubbed his fingers and said, "Young host, if you want to win the beauty’s smile, you can’t just say it. To chase a girl, you need to take actual actions."

Leroy Baker slapped his chest: "Rest assured, elder, I understand."

He pushed another Storage Brocade Pouch forward: "This is the private money I saved, a total of 1.5 million Spirit Jade."

Owen Bertram cursed the rich second generation in his heart while taking the money readily: "Don’t worry, if I encounter Catherine during the Third Stage Assessment, I will definitely tell her everything you did for her today."

Leroy Baker said, "The elder can make trouble for Wayne Malvin; after all, he has a stupid brain."

Owen Bertram nodded repeatedly, finding it reasonable.

With the meal over, the host and guest left happily. When paying the bill, Leroy Baker was a little surprised, as the cost was not low. While he was talking with Owen Bertram, Verna ate a lot...

...

Owen Bertram led his sister toward the Mechanism Horse Carriage but halfway there, Brother in Joseph Gourd rumbled excitedly, seeming very eager, and communicated with Elder Brother: I want to get out!

Let me out quick!

Owen Bertram found it strange, as his brother had been listless since entering the Capital. What’s wrong?

"What do you want to do?"

Brother knocked his head against the Gourd, pointing in the direction of the Defensive River: Delicious food, delicious food! You starved me for so long, and this time I must eat my fill by myself.

Owen Bertram was cautious: "Don’t make trouble. This is the Capital, full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! If you go out by yourself and someone catches you as a demon beast..."

Brother hurriedly said: That won’t happen, I am confident, they can’t see me.

"They can’t see you?" Owen Bertram was puzzled.

Brother became more anxious: Not being seen means not being seen! Let me out quickly. That thing is going to run away soon, and it will be very inconvenient for me to look for it later.

Helpless and doubtful, Owen Bertram complied with Brother’s wishes. He told his sister and the others, pretending to go to the river’s edge to wash his hands, and took the opportunity to let Brother out.

Little Loach turned into the size of a tadpole, quietly drilling into the river.

Owen Bertram shouted in his heart: "Hey, how long will you take, should we wait for you?" Little Loach ignored him, and disappeared with a flick of his tail.

Elder Brother was helpless, wanting to attach his soul to see what was going on, but he couldn’t stand by the Defensive River for too long as the soldiers patrolling the city wall had already noticed him. A team was peeping out from the city wall, so Owen Bertram had to leave first.

...

The double-headed eel named "Ruibin" was in charge of duty in the Defensive River today. Since the establishment of the Wood Dynasty, the double-headed eels in the river have been replaced through many generations, with the names being just code words.

The people in the Capital believed that the twelve double-headed eels had at least five thousand years of Daoist practice. But in fact, among the twelve in the river today, the oldest is only 1,200 years old, and the youngest is only two hundred years old.

As for the whereabouts of the old double-headed eels, outsiders couldn’t know.

...Anyway, they’re pretty valuable.

Nowadays, patrolling the river is just for show. Ruibin only had a few dozen demon beasts under him, and they were all insignificant. The most experienced one was a 600-year-old "Pig Carp" with two long whiskers. In 600 years, it had only cultivated to Tire-5. Ruibin didn’t care much about the daily affairs. Patrolling the river, a toilsome task, was left to the Pig Carp.

This "predecessor" among the demon beasts also took good care of the younger generation. Every time a new demon beast arrived, it would tell them during the river patrol: what things they didn’t need to care about, what things needed to be reported, and what things they had to act on directly.

Long ago, river patrols weren’t a hard task, and rewards of Spirit Jade and Spiritual Pills would be given after the patrol, according to the Imperial Court’s regulations. However, the twelve double-headed eels hadn’t tasted such rewards in a long time.

Today, early in the morning, as the city gate opened wide, a hidden beast cage beneath the Defensive River also opened. Pig Carp led several demon beasts out. Originally, they were supposed to swim around the Defensive River, but the Pig Carp accurately controlled the time and speed to ensure they would return to the beast cage when the city gate closed.

But during the otherwise smooth river patrol, Pig Carp suddenly shuddered halfway and dashed forward recklessly, leaving the demon beasts behind it stunned: The predecessor always said he had old arms and legs in the beast cage...

They just didn’t understand why the Pig Carp was acting like this.

At that moment, a small shadow shot past them, chasing the Pig Carp. The demon beasts looked at each other, thinking they were seeing things: A tadpole?

Was the Pig Carp predecessor afraid of a tadpole?

And did this season have tadpoles?

The demon beasts quickly showed their fierce expressions and chased the tadpole, determined to help the Pig Carp predecessor solve his troubles!

But as a result, the further they chased, the further they fell behind. In no time, both the Pig Carp predecessor and the little tadpole had disappeared!
