Above the Auspicious Clouds, Ye Fan looked at the panting Akatsuki and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"I … I'm fine," Akatsuki replied as she panted heavily.
With the help of Ye Fan's pure spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in Akatsuki's body gradually calmed down and returned to normal.
Akatsuki's pale face also began to regain its color.
At this time, in the dark clouds below the White Auspicious Clouds, the sound of thunder was deafening and soul-stirring.
"Let's go down and find a place to rest," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Akatsuki replied.
Ye Fan nodded. With a thought, he activated the ball of spiritual energy and it left the auspicious cloud beneath his feet with a whoosh. It turned into a dazzling white ray of light and instantly pierced through the clouds that were as thick as ink and fell from the sky!
It was a thunderstorm now. The residents of the town below must have closed their doors and hid in their homes.
Because of this, Ye Fan didn't have to worry about his movement technique causing a commotion among the residents.
Whoosh …
The spiritual energy ball that enveloped the two of them passed through the dark clouds and immediately rushed into the heavy rain falling from the sky!
Buzz …
A translucent ball of light enveloped the spiritual energy ball.
When the heavy rain was less than a foot away from the translucent ball of light, it suddenly changed direction and went around it!
The Water Repelling Pearl in Ye Fan's arms began to take effect.
Whoosh …
In the heavy rain, the dazzling white star was like light and lightning, rapidly descending!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them landed in an unoccupied pavilion on the ground.
The pavilion was located in a willow forest. There was a stone table and four stone stools inside. It looked simple and elegant.
Ye Fan dispersed the spiritual energy ball and placed the bamboo basket he was carrying on his back on the stone table. He then released the white fox that had been cooped up inside to get some fresh air.
Baihu nimbly leaped from the bamboo basket onto the stone table. It shook its head and wagged its tail, stretching its body.
"This should be Thunder Town." Akatsuki lifted the veil on her bamboo hat and slowly walked to the pavilion. She looked at the torrential rain outside and asked.
"According to what the couple said, this should be it." Ye Fan took off his bamboo hat and placed it on the stone table. He then sat down on the stone stool and stroked Baihu's head.
"I wonder when this rain will stop?" Akatsuki said as she reached out to catch the raindrops that were falling from the eaves of the pavilion.
"It should stop in a while," Ye Fan said. "At least it will become smaller."
"How did you know?" Akatsuki turned to look at Ye Fan and asked.
"Even if we are in the Falling Rain Village, this rain won't last long," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"Why?" Akatsuki was puzzled.
"Think about it. If this place had been raining like this every day, it would have become a vast ocean. How could there still be people living here?" Ye Fan said with a smile. "If that's the case, it wouldn't be called Falling Rain Village."
"If it's not called Falling Rain Village, then what is it called?" Akatsuki asked.
"Falling Water Village," Ye Fan said with a smile.
Akatsuki pursed her lips and smiled.
Although Ye Fan's words were a joke, they did make some sense.
"In a while, we will find someone to investigate and ask if this is Falling Rain Village." Ye Fan looked at the pouring rain outside the pavilion and said, "If it is, let's find an inn to stay in and understand the problem here. Let's see if it has anything to do with the divine cauldron."
"Since Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked us to come here, it must have something to do with the divine cauldron," Akatsuki said as she slowly walked to the stone table and sat on the stone bench opposite Ye Fan.
"Let's hope so," Ye Fan said as he stroked Baihu.
Baihu was suffocating in the bamboo basket. He had to play with it for a while and let it have its fun.
Baihu and Ye Fan laughed and played around. From time to time, it would use its claws to pat Ye Fan's palm and then jump onto Ye Fan's shoulder to walk around.
It was indeed suffocating in the bamboo basket.
Akatsuki supported her chin with her hand and leaned on the stone table. She smiled as she watched Ye Fan and Baihu play around.
Whoosh …
Just as the two of them and the fox were taking shelter from the rain in the pavilion, the pouring rain outside suddenly stopped!
Ye Fan who was playing with Baihu saw this and immediately stood up in confusion. He slowly walked to the pavilion and looked up at the sky.
Akatsuki was also shocked by the sudden change.
The rain stopped too suddenly. There was no sign at all. It was a little inconceivable.
She also stood up and came to Ye Fan's side. She looked up at the sky in confusion.
However, the next scene made her expression change from confusion to shock!
She saw that in the sky, the dark clouds quickly dispersed and disappeared. The rain stopped and the clouds dispersed!
Whoosh …
Countless rays of dazzling sunlight poured down and the golden light shone brightly.
In the sky, a dazzling rainbow appeared out of thin air. It was extremely beautiful.
In the face of this sudden change, Hongji was dumbfounded. She could not believe the scene in front of her.
She grew up in Dongying, which was surrounded by the sea. She had seen all kinds of weather. However, this was the first time she had seen such a strange phenomenon.
Looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, Ye Fan frowned and did not say a word.
He was also shocked by the sudden change in the weather.
"Bufan -kun, this weather …" Akatsuki turned to look at Ye Fan and asked.
Ye Fan turned to look at Akatsuki and shook his head slowly.
Although his cultivation level was close to that of an immortal, he could not explain the phenomenon in front of him.
However, there was one thing he was sure of. There was something strange about this sudden change in the weather.
Akatsuki saw Ye Fan shake his head and her expression immediately became serious.
Even Ye Fan could not explain the strange phenomenon in front of them. It seemed that this mission was not that simple.
"Put on your conical bamboo hat. Let's go to town." Ye Fan said calmly. He turned around and returned to the stone table. He carried Baihu back into the bamboo basket and closed the lid.
Akatsuki nodded and put on her conical bamboo hat. She put down her veil and picked up the bamboo pole.
"Let's go." Ye Fan carried the bamboo basket and put on his conical bamboo hat. He walked out of the pavilion.
Akatsuki followed closely behind.
The two of them left the pavilion and passed through the willow forest. Soon, they arrived at the small town.
At this time, the streets were filled with gongs and drums and firecrackers.
The people were burning incense and burning paper money. Then, they rushed into the streets and cheered in high spirits.
The scene was even more lively than the New Year!
The fresh and moist air was immediately filled with the smell of incense and candles.
On the lively street, Akatsuki looked at the happy people around her and asked Ye Fan in confusion, "What's the occasion today? What are they celebrating?"
"If I'm not wrong, they're celebrating seeing the light again." Ye Fan glanced at the happy people on the street and said calmly.
"You mean …" Ye Fan's words made Akatsuki suddenly understand.
"Auntie, what's the occasion today? Why are you so happy?"
As Akatsuki was thinking, Ye Fan began to ask a middle-aged woman who was burning incense and burning paper money on the side of the road and kowtowing.
"Why aren't I happy?" The middle-aged woman who finished burning paper money and kowtowing stood up from the ground. She patted the dust on her knees and said with a smile, "For hundreds of years, Luoyu Village has never been so happy like today. Hahaha …"
The middle-aged woman said and laughed heartily.
Ye Fan's eyes lit up when he heard that.
It seemed that this was indeed Luoyu Village.
"Everyone is so happy, is it because …" Ye Fan said to the middle-aged woman and pointed to the sun in the sky.
"That's right, hahaha," the middle-aged woman said with a smile, "For hundreds of years, it has been raining heavily every three days and drizzling every two days in Luoyu Village. Occasionally, it doesn't rain, and when we see the sun, it's just like a layer of window paper. It's the first time in hundreds of years that we have such a big sun like today. How can we not be happy? Hahaha … "
The middle-aged woman said and turned to leave with a smile.
After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Akatsuki nodded slowly.
Everything was as Ye Fan guessed. These men and women of all ages were so happy because of the weather change just now!
"Let's find an inn and stay first." Ye Fan turned his head and said to Akatsuki.
"Okay." Akatsuki replied.
The two walked through the bustling crowd and came to a stone building with the words' Three Sheep Inn 'on the street.
The stone building had two floors and was elegantly designed. The aroma of mutton wafted out from inside.
Within the aroma of meat, there was a faint smell of wine.
The aroma of wine and meat mixed together to form a special aroma that made people salivate.
Even Baihu in the bamboo basket was attracted by the aroma and kept moving around in the basket.
It was obvious that this was an inn that was good at making mutton.
"This is it, let's go in." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
Ye Fan knew Xiao Zhao's thoughts very well.
As long as it was something that Xiao Zhao liked, he would never object.
"Okay." Akatsuki nodded.
The two of them slowly walked into the inn.
"Oh, two guests, please come in." The waiter immediately greeted them with a smile when he saw that there were guests at the door.
Ye Fan nodded in response.
"Are you two going to have a meal or stay?" The waiter asked.
"Stay at a hotel." Ye Fan replied, "I want the best room."
"Okay." The waiter replied and turned to the shopkeeper who was calculating on the abacus behind the counter and said loudly, "A superior room."
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile and turned to the wall behind him to take the room card.
"What a fragrant mutton." Akatsuki smelled the fragrance of the meat and said.
"Miss, you don't know." The waiter put a white towel on his shoulder and said to Hong Ji with a smile, "Our Three Sheep Inn has three specialties. This mutton is one of the three specialties."
"Oh? Three specialties? "Akatsuki asked.
"The first is the mutton," the waiter explained. "The mutton in our inn is all imported from Mongolia, and even the chef is a Mongolian chef. The mutton is fat and tender, and it doesn't have any rank odor at all. Whether it's stewed mutton soup, roasted mutton leg, or braised mutton, I guarantee that you won't get sick of it. The second is the hard liquor that we brew here. Our liquor is mellow and sweet, and it won't go to the head or burn the heart. The more you drink, the more energetic you'll feel. The third is our rooms. As you can see, our inn is built entirely of stone, and it's moisture-proof and much better than other wooden inns. We even have pine charcoal braziers in the rooms. I guarantee that the two of you will stay comfortably and forget to return."
The waiter was very eloquent and Akatsuki nodded repeatedly.
"Give me a pot of mutton stew and two jugs of liquor. Send them to the room." Ye Fan took out a golden leaf and handed it to the waiter.
Although he wasn't hungry, the waiter's words made his mouth water.
