Chapter 271 You're Back
Meanwhile, in Xumi City, at the Humayi Chamber of Commerce.
By the time Mu Feng successfully extricated himself from the power struggle between the young lady and the young dancer, it was already close to evening.
Sumeru City is located in a rainforest, where the weather is naturally rainy. Unfortunately, it suddenly started raining at that moment.
The rain wasn't heavy; it drizzled and soaked the whole world, shrouding the palm trees outside the window in a hazy mist.
"If it rains, why don't you stay here tonight? You don't seem to have anywhere else to go right now."
The mercenary girl leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed, looked up at the gray sky, shrugged, and tried to persuade him to stay.
Although she was a little embarrassed to say it directly, Dixia actually wanted to spend more time with him.
The carefree and easygoing girl rarely thinks about emotional matters; in the world of mercenaries, combat is the main theme.
The words of pleading to stay that came out at that moment were merely a subconscious expression of my inner thoughts, acting on impulse.
After all, the other party was someone who saved his and his father's lives, and their visit was so brief that it was inevitable to feel a little disappointed.
The little lion silently tried to make amends, trying to relax his tone so that others wouldn't notice anything unusual about him.
To be honest, over the years she has led the Blazing Beasts on her own through the desert, sometimes when she has drunk too much, she would occasionally recall the time when she ran away and met him by chance.
Perhaps so. It was a rare period when someone truly treated her like a child, showering her with love and protection.
Although the Fiery Mane Lion will eventually grow up and make its name in the desert, that feeling is really not bad.
It was from that time that she fell in love with the taste of date and coconut honey. Sometimes when she wanted to drink, she would remember that he always told her not to drink too much, so she would buy some honey and savor the taste of memories.
Unfortunately, the taste is no longer the same.
Mu Feng hugged Dina Zede and Nilu, who were reluctant to part, and kissed them on the cheek. Then he turned to look at the rain outside the door and shrugged helplessly.
"Of course I want to, but if I don't let Dolly know I'm safe soon, she's going to hit me on the head with Mora."
Based on experience, this little girl has quite a temper and is a bit arrogant; you have to appease her.
"Hmph... Then, Brother Mufeng can just stay overnight at Little Dolly's house, right?"
Nilu pouted, her jealousy instantly erupting, and naturally, the soft flesh around her waist was the first to suffer.
She suddenly realized that the basement was actually quite nice; there was a spare cellar in the Zubair Theater, after all.
Although Dina Zede didn't speak, her beautiful brown eyes narrowed subtly, revealing a hint of threat.
Hmph, she's going to call the police! Open the door! Disciplinary Officer!
Mu Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He had almost forgotten that if the two jealous girls beside him weren't satisfied, he would probably spend several more days and nights touring the basement of Huma's house.
A shocking article posted late at night by the Xumi UC Shock Department reported that strange and mysterious noises were coming from the basement of the Humayi Chamber of Commerce, and the reason was...
Ahem, I'm getting off-topic, but for some reason, I always feel like Sumeru is something that can't get over all sorts of confinement. Could it be that he's using some kind of Klee simulator?
After a while of being affectionate, the two girls blushed slightly and took a couple of steps back, their faces full of embarrassment, when Dixia, who was standing next to them with a face full of black lines.
Although I'm a little reluctant to let Mu Feng leave like this, I'll let it go this time, but this won't happen again.
After all, respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue of Xumi, and young girls would feel somewhat embarrassed to compete for favor with a young girl.
The rain intensified. Mu Feng glanced at the water splashing on the palm leaves outside the window, then looked at the wall clock.
Well, this rain probably won't stop anytime soon. When he returns to Fontainebleau next time, he will definitely suggest that Fufu replace the chef from Mo Mang Palace who added onions to the water dragon's dinner.
Otherwise, he would have officially included the ancient secret recipe of Coconut Charcoal Cake from his predecessor, Farusan, in the Supreme Judge's menu.
Friend, this is part of the plan, the murder plan.
The mercenary girl standing to the side also noticed the meaningful smile on Mu Feng's face, and couldn't help but be speechless.
Knowing this guy as she does, seeing him with that expression means he's probably planning some weird, shady scheme again.
On this point, the seemingly dim-witted Great Sage Hazard probably has a lot to say.
However, if Mu Feng knew what Dixia was thinking at this moment, he would most likely cry out that this was an unprecedented injustice.
He, Mu, is renowned far and wide for his respect for teachers and the Way. On this point, Senior Falushan can attest to it.
After bidding farewell to the three girls, Mu Feng once again donned the disguise of "Blinding the Eyes with a Leaf" and headed towards the outskirts of Sumeru City.
He remembered the location of Dolly's house, which was not far from Sumeru City, only about ten minutes away.
However, if by chance the little girl happens to go to El Casazale Palace, then she'll have to brave the rain and make a trip to the Mushroom Cave.
Mu Feng glanced at the abandoned teleportation anchor point by the roadside, but when he thought of the exorbitant price of 300,000 Mora per system from that unscrupulous merchant, the idea that had just arisen was nipped in the bud.
To be fair, this time traveler still held Mora in high regard; he didn't steal from her, rob her, or do anything wrong.
The journey passed quickly, and the outline of the villa came into view. By then, it was completely dark.
The raindrops gradually disappeared into the darkness, with only the pattering sound proving their existence. A lamp was lit at the entrance of the open courtyard, illuminating the swing not far away, which swayed gently in the rain.
Mu Feng walked to the door, and everything was still the same as before, exactly as he remembered. Although it was a little old, you could still see the traces of the villa owner's careful maintenance.
The door was open, and a dim light shone through the crack.
He hesitated for a moment, then gently knocked on the door. There was a rustling sound coming from inside, but then there was silence.
It's not here... No, the lights are on inside.
A sense of doubt welled up in Mu Feng's heart. He quietly pushed the wooden door open a crack and slipped into the room.
The first floor was deserted, with only a few small lamps casting a faint glow on the wooden staircase leading to the second floor.
They're probably resting in their room upstairs... Honestly, they didn't remember to close the door or turn on a few more lights.
Upon reaching the top floor, the corridor remained pitch black. The room belonging to Duoling was dark, indicating that she was not home.
Mu Feng walked straight to Dolly's room at the end of the corridor. The door was unlocked, and he easily pushed it open.
Inside the room, the girl sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the rain outside the window, heard the door open and her shoulders trembled slightly.
The petite figure stood with her back to the door, not turning around, with a few scattered pieces of parchment beside her.
"You... are back... busy man."
