Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 121: Lyla

Bloodmoon Forest was huge, filled with various exotic species of plants and monsters. Its richness attracted a large number of cultivators from surrounding areas.

If you look at the forest carefully, you will find small temporary settlements made by these cultivators. In these temporary shelters, the cultivators strategize and planned their next course of actions.

David, along with his loyal companion Origin Guard, was floating above one such temporary settlement.

"Finally found one," David thought.

After searching for so long, he had finally managed to find one of these temporary settlements.

Below his feet lay a small settlement in triangular shape with a concealment Formation hiding it.

David wasn't annoyed by the fact that it took him so long to find this place; instead, he was happy in his heart.

The more time it took for him to find this place, the higher its safety was going to be.

Slowly, David started to descend.

Suddenly, he stopped midway and looked below.

"Who is she? I didn't even notice her presence," David thought with narrowed eyes.

A woman dressed in leather armor that seemed purposefully designed to focus on the right places had silently appeared a couple of meters away from him.

Her light blue hair was tied together in a bun behind her head. At this time, she had a displeased expression on her face as she looked at David above her.

"These fucking newbies, how many times do I have to repeat my words before they would understand?" Lyla thought while chewing her lips in anger.

This beautiful and mature woman was Lyla Ocean, the administrator of this settlement.

Lyla was a famous figure in the Blood Moon because of two strong reasons: firstly, she was one of the cultivators at the peak of Nascent Soul Realm, and second was her beauty.

Even David, who was surrounded by two otherworldly women, found her slightly attractive.

David shook his head and turned his gaze away from her big and jiggly talent.

It was at this time Lyla opened her mouth to speak.

"You, young man, don't you know the rules?" Her sonorous voice echoed in the surrounding area.

"Flying above the settlement is strictly prohibited. Now get ready to pay the fine."

Once she finished speaking, David calmly nodded at her words.

He didn't care about something as measly as a small fine.

Or for that matter, neither did he care about this settlement's safety.

If he was aware that the people he had given money to some time ago were hiding here, he might be the first one to expose this location.

"If you can't pay a fine, you will have to patrol the settlement surroundings..." However, she suddenly stopped speaking once she noticed that David was willing to pay the fine.

That wasn't something that Lyla wanted.

She wanted people like David to patrol the surroundings for free.

"Now follow me." In the end, she sighed and led David towards the settlement.

David and the Origin Guard silently followed her from behind.

"Follow after me closely; otherwise, you might get trapped in the formation," Lyla's calm voice came from the front.

Her words caused David, who was trying to understand jiggling physics, to turn serious.

He didn't know whether she could see him from behind but nodded his head anyway.

Lyla suddenly stopped and raised her hand above her head, starting to mutter something in a low voice.

Followed by her words, the air around her vibrated and shook as if it was suddenly hit by a raging typhoon.

In the next moment, the air parted ways, and a small settlement filled with hub-hub of noises appeared in front of David's eyes.

Without saying anything, Lyla moved forward. David also didn't dilly-dally and hurriedly followed her from behind along with the Origin Guard.

With a single step, he seemed to have appeared in another world altogether.

The forest had completely disappeared; in its place was an area filled with well-built, sturdy buildings.

"By the way, I wanted to ask, aren't you worried about bringing someone from outside?" David asked while looking around the place in wonder.

The settlement was neither large nor huge, but it was big enough to fit a couple of people easily.

With a casual glance, cultivators gathered in small groups, talking with each other with happy smiles on their faces.

"Worried, you say? What can you even do?" Lyla, on the other hand, smiled at David's words.

In the next moment, she glanced at the Origin Guard beside him and continued with a meaningful expression on her face.

"Peak Golden Core Realm is nothing to fear about."

David nodded at her words and could only say, "Okay."

While David and Lyla were talking with each other, a girl dressed in a black long coat came running in their direction.

"Senior Lyla, I am back. Did you miss me?" the girl spoke with happiness on her face.

Her words attracted David's attention, and with a glance, he found the girl to be familiar.

"Oh! Sylvie, you are back. I missed you so much, my girl." With those words, Lyla got down and hugged Sylvie tightly.

"How was your mission, girl?" Lyla patted Sylvie's head and asked while pinching her cheeks.

"Senior, stop! It hurts," Sylvie complained in a low voice.

It appeared the two of them were really close.

I mean really close!

This was something even David could tell; maybe he was overthinking.

"Ahem! Where am I supposed to pay the fine?" At this moment, David, unable to bear this scene any longer, coughed and spoke in a loud voice.

At this time, Sylvie finally seemed to take notice of David and spoke in disdain.

"Oh! It's you, the coward who was running away from the Behemoth Crocodile."

However, David completely ignored her words as if he hadn't heard her at all.

All this time, his eyes were on Lyla; he was waiting for her answer.

"Fine? Just give me a mid-grade spirit stone," Lyla casually said.
