Chapter 323 A Masterpiece of the Century: Ebel on the Railcar
Meanwhile, on the other side, in stark contrast to Lynette's leisurely nibbling on fresh clam meat dipped in lemon juice, was a certain wise man with a worried expression.
Undoubtedly, Clementine and Elodie left two days ago, arrived in Sumeru City yesterday, and lost their home today.
Although the simulated situation will eventually have to be revealed, it seems that we have encountered the worst possible scenario.
Mu Feng: Can you please leave me alone this time, you charade? In my next life, I just want to be a child who doesn't know how to use a hatchet.
"Um, round clam, can I have it if you don't want it?"
Mu Feng waved his hand listlessly, while Linette picked up the seafood in front of him and continued to chew it in small bites.
They could only hope they wouldn't run into each other immediately, otherwise when Yingmei woke up, she would find that only six of the seven Teyvat kingdoms remained.
Feng Maomao ate quite elegantly, but her speed was by no means slow. In the short time Mu Feng was distracted, the plates on the table were already more than half empty, and they continued to disappear at an extremely fast pace.
By the time Mu Feng came to his senses, only empty seashells and leftover lemon slices remained on the table.
Satisfied, Lynette grabbed a napkin and wiped the food crumbs from the corners of her mouth. Her cat ears twitched slightly; those who knew her well knew this was a sign that Lynette was in a good mood.
"Thank you for the treat. Oh, you seem to be in a bad mood?"
Lynette's expressionless face drew closer across the table. Compared to her previous restraint, the cat, having just finished her meal, was clearly much more relaxed, and her tone became slightly more animated.
However, this greeting was clearly inappropriate, as evidenced by the sage's dark expression.
Mu Feng's forehead creased with three black lines, speechless.
If someone can be happy knowing their backyard is on fire, then they're truly living a good life.
However, the truth was obviously something Lynette couldn't know, so Mu Feng simply patted Lynette's shoulder sadly, covered his mouth with a fist, and vaguely brushed it off:
"Ahem, well, well, anyway, you'll understand when you get to my age."
Lynette remained silent, glancing at the boy who didn't look much older than her, and gave him a puzzled look.
I've started analysis mode. You continue, and I'm listening.
Looking at the cat's obviously distrustful expression, Mu Feng awkwardly scratched the back of his head and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Oh, look at this cloud, it looks just like that cloud.
Fortunately, Lynette didn't dwell on this too much, after all, she still had to organize intelligence today.
Because of Clementine and Elodie's absence, Lynette is theoretically now the highest-ranking leader of the House of Hearths' Sumeru branch.
She had to organize all the information and instructions from each level before sending them to Fontaine. Compared to her usual leisurely work as a magic assistant, she barely had any time left to even feed the cat.
Holidays are for enjoying alone, while work is done by others – a tribute to the legendary fieldwork allocation system of Fireplace House.
The cat's resentment was almost tangible, but compared to the other two magicians and mechanics who were still working overtime at the Buffati Mansion, the branch's workload was just a drop in the ocean.
Thank you, head nurse, for the milkshake. I don't know where it came from; it was probably sent to the wrong place in Mero Petersburg.
Lynette muttered to herself, "If Lynette hadn't been unable to go on fieldwork, it's hard to say who would have stayed behind at the mansion in the end."
Mu Feng turned back guiltily. He really hadn't expected that they would actually drink it. Hagini, you bastard.
Since it was not appropriate for the Fools to make a grand appearance in Sumeru, Feng Maomao quietly left via a side path, leaving behind a copy of the Fools' confession from the previous day.
Perhaps because these people were of low rank, they had never even seen the "Doctor" before, and naturally did not know about his base in Sumeru. In the end, this information was better than nothing.
What? You're asking where the rest of them went? I don't know, maybe they went to another world to start over?
The Winter Grand Stage awaits; come if you dare. They'll openly stand by each other, but secretly stab each other in the back. The main theme is mutual love and affection, but these eleven people have a combined total of eight million schemes.
Hmm, the top ten add up to nine million. As for where the missing million went... what do you think? Dada duck?
There were still fifteen minutes until eight o'clock. Judging by the time, Siegwen and the others in the inn should be awake by now. So, after paying Mora and buying some breakfast, Mu Feng got up and left the inn.
When they returned to the hotel, Siegwen and Caroline were already awake. The nurse was sitting in front of the mirror fiddling with a drink that looked like a milkshake, adding various ingredients to the glass from time to time.
The little one sat in a chair that didn't quite match his height, swinging his fair little legs. His loose, sky-blue pajamas draped softly over his shoulders, and he hummed a cheerful tune.
Beside her, Caroline, wearing the same pink pajamas, stood watching curiously as Siegwen tossed the heterochromatic crystal into the cup and stirred it, her beautiful light blue eyes sparkling.
Mu Feng immediately had a bad feeling and was about to quietly leave the room when, unfortunately, he was caught red-handed by the little guy.
"Hey? Good morning, Brother Mufeng. You've worked hard. Would you like to try the newest nutritional milkshake?"
Upon seeing Mu Feng return, Siegwen's bright, ruby-red eyes crinkled into crescents as she waved her little hand and greeted him softly.
Mu Feng froze, and Caroline had already hopped and leaped towards him. So he had no choice but to open his arms and hug the little one, thus declaring his escape plan a failure.
"Good morning, Brother Mufeng, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
Little Meilu Xin hugged Mu Feng's neck, buried her face in his chest and rubbed against him affectionately, saying good morning with great joy.
She had been listening for footsteps outside the door the whole time.
"Good morning, Caroline, Siegwen."
Mu Feng smiled and kissed Caroline's forehead, then took the milkshake from the sparkling-eyed Siegwen, while pinching the little one's soft cheeks.
Sigwen's light red eyes immediately curved into crescents, her little face pressed against Mu Feng's palm, her pink and blue little ears swaying back and forth.
Sedna, who was still asleep, woke up at this moment. She groggily threw off the covers, instinctively moved closer to Mu Feng, grabbed his arm, and nestled into his arms.
Surrounded by Xiaomei Luxin from the start of the morning, Mu Feng gave a helpless smile and could only concentrate on coaxing them one by one.
Of course, for the Water God, whose biological clock always wakes up after 10 a.m., all of this is still too advanced.
While things were peaceful and harmonious on the Sumeru side, the situation was not so pleasant on the other side, at the Fontaine railroad station.
If you frequently ride the cruise ship, you'll notice that recently, the tour guide, Little Abel, seems to be in a bad mood.
Moreover, after receiving a letter from Xumi recently, the situation seems to have worsened, and even the little guy's usually energetic little ears have drooped limply.
"A moment of patience brings peace, but taking a step back only makes you angrier! No way, Senior Ophini, I'm skipping work to go to Sumeru too!"
"This... I'd like to... but it won't work... If we all leave, the patrol ship will be paralyzed..."
"Ugh... Forget about the rail patrol ship being paralyzed, if we don't replenish the Wind Energy soon, Abel will be paralyzed first..."
