Chapter 57 How can you get distracted while drinking?
There are many small courtyards and gardens in this ancient town.
In order not to spoil the beauty of the place, most of the shops sell items with a traditional Chinese style.
Lingling, dressed in a small cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella, led Huayu to the shop they had previously investigated.
This shop has only two people, a boss and an employee, perfectly realizing one-on-one exploitation.
The young shop assistant saw a handsome young man enter with a little girl and gave him his signature fake smile.
"Welcome! Two guests, what would you like to buy?"
The shop owner, seeing the young clerk's attitude, nodded in satisfaction.
"Hello, I am a hunter mage who came to investigate the Moth Woman. I heard that you witnessed this creature with your own eyes some time ago. Can you tell us more about it?" Hua Yu said, while winking at Lingling.
Lingling quickly took out her Hunter Master badge from her pocket and handed it over.
Upon seeing that the person in front of them was actually the Hunter Master, a look of surprise flashed in the shop assistant's eyes.
Before he could say anything, the bald shopkeeper at the counter walked over and said impatiently, "It's you guys again. Hurry up and leave. There's no such thing as a 'femme fatale' here. This kid is just making things up."
The customer is king. Once you step into his store, you must provide smiling service regardless of whether you make a purchase or not.
But if they come to your door to sell something or do something else, then forget it.
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing that Hua Yu's communication had failed, Lingling blinked, leaned closer, and looked at the bald boss with an innocent expression.
Even a young man like Hua Yu couldn't resist such a cute little creature, let alone an older man like him.
The bald boss immediately changed his expression, bending down with a cheerful smile to say to Lingling, "Little girl, the whole 'saw the Moth Woman' thing was just something this kid made up while drunk. Lots of hunters like the one next to you have come before. In a place this small, if there really was a Moth Woman, how could they not find her?"
Hearing the shop owner's reasonable answer, Lingling turned to look at the clerk again and asked, "Big brother, is what he said true?"
"I...I'm not really sure either." The young clerk scratched his head awkwardly, then said, "I did drink too much that day, and I vaguely remember seeing a woman with moth-like wings."
"Can you tell me where you saw her?"
"Over there in Nanzha."
"Thanks!"

Lingling believes that it is not an isolated incident that Lingling has seen the Moth Woman in the ancient town.
If one person gets drunk, does that mean everyone else does too?
Even if she's not some kind of freak, this town must be hiding some secret.
Lingling became very interested in everything.
As for why so many hunters failed to find the Moth Woman, Lingling could only conclude that their skill level was too low.
Lingling spent the entire afternoon searching for clues throughout the ancient town.
Once she gets into work mode, this little girl is truly tireless.
Her small body seemed tireless as she carried Hua Yu back and forth.
As a high-level mage, Hua Yu was naturally not tired.
His physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, let alone the little girl next to him.
For every step she takes, she has to take one and a half.
"Let's go, next place."
"No need, I've collected almost everything. I'll organize it when I get back, and I should be able to give you a general idea of what to look for," Lingling suddenly said.
"So fast?" Hua Yu looked at Lingling with some surprise.
He accompanied her the whole time and listened to every word, but he couldn't understand a thing.
The four major areas divided by the Shizi River—Dongzha, Nanzha, Xizha, and Beizha—have all been associated with the Moth Woman. What can we deduce from this?
"If I'm not fast, wouldn't I be just like you, an idiot?" Lingling laughed.
"Well"
Hua Yu glanced at Lingling with a hint of helplessness.
Compared to this little genius in front of me, can I even be called an idiot?
The ancient town was quiet, the night rain was lingering, and the moonlight was hazy.
A light drizzle added a touch of coolness to the night in this ancient town.
On the arched bridge, a man and a woman, one tall and one short, stood holding umbrellas.
An automatic umbrella and an oil-paper umbrella.
"On rainy days like this, moths' flying ability is somewhat affected. Are you sure she'll show up?"
"She's a moth girl, not a moth." Lingling rolled her eyes at Hua Yu.
Hua Yu was taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
"This moth woman doesn't appear often, and always at night, and when there are few people around. It's clear she wants to stay where humans live, but she's afraid of being discovered. It's raining tonight, and there aren't many people in the ancient town. If I were her, I would choose this time to come out for some fresh air," Lingling continued.
"In that case, you should go back to the hotel first. Leave the rest to me," Hua Yu suggested.
Light rain fell, hitting the river below the arched bridge and creating faint ripples.
On the water, several small boats tied to the shore floated, gently swaying with the current, occasionally tapping against the stone wall beside them.
"I also want to see what that moth woman looks like?"
"Should I catch it for you?"
"No, I'm right here." Lingling shook her head and said stubbornly.
"Whatever you want."
After saying that, Hua Yu closed his eyes.
He stood on the arched bridge, and waves of sound emanated from him, spreading outwards.
At this time of day, the shops in the ancient town have long since closed, and only a few people seem to be admiring this misty, rain-shrouded ancient town in Jiangnan.
Of course, there are also those men who come home late.
"Oh no!" A man at the table suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
"What's wrong?"
"It's raining outside, and my wife is waiting for me to pick her up."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he slapped himself hard and said, "I deserve to die. How could I get distracted while drinking?"
"Yes, drink!"
The men next to the man raised their glasses again, showing no intention of ending the drinking session.
"Da~Da~Da~"
Just then, they heard footsteps.
A man looked up and saw a beautiful young woman carrying an oil-paper umbrella passing by them.
Her steps were light, her skirt swayed, and her slender waist extended down to two fair and smooth legs.
"Ahem, Lao Wang, look, look! There's a beautiful woman." At the dinner table, the man sat upright, reminding the person next to him with his elbow.
In an instant, one person told another, and they all raised their heads.
Seemingly hearing the noise, the woman turned her head and smiled gently at the group.
After this laugh, some of these people will have trouble sleeping tonight, or they'll need to do some chores before bed.
The woman walked forward and suddenly realized that there were two people standing in front of her.
