PNB Chapter 319 Mu Feng: Oh no, my house!
Chapter 319 Mu Feng: Oh no, my house!
In the dead of night, when all should be quiet, apart from the students of the Academy who were working on their graduation theses in the Palace of Wisdom, even the campfires of the Hilichurl camps in the wild had been extinguished.
The port of Ormos in the dark had lost its daytime bustle, and the piles of goods cast mottled shadows.
But at that moment, a loud explosion rang out without warning, shattering the tranquil night.
"Huh...? What happened...? Was it an earthquake?"
Siegwen rubbed her blurry ruby eyes, peeked her little head out from Mu Feng's arms, her face full of confusion.
The sound seemed to be coming from upstairs... but it's so late, how could there be an explosion...?
Caroline was also startled awake. She sat up halfway, her bright, light blue eyes scanning her surroundings warily, like a kitten on high alert, ready to face any unknown danger.
Mu Feng gently pinched Carolie's little ears, pulled the little one into his arms, and kissed the foreheads of both little ones.
"Don't worry, Caroline, Sigwen, there's a speed bump being built upstairs. Go back to sleep, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, the nurse responded softly, then snuggled closer to Mu Feng before falling into a deep sleep once again.
Caroline glanced at him a few more times, still worried, and only after confirming that everything was normal did she hold onto Mu Feng's arm and fall asleep peacefully.
Mu Feng smiled and pulled Sedna, who was sleeping undignifiedly with one side of her body sticking out of the bed, back to his side. He reached out and wiped away a trace of drool from the corner of the little one's mouth.
Xiao Meilu was carefree and didn't wake up even after all. She just turned over and rested her head on Mu Feng's arm.
Mu Feng was a little helpless, but he didn't pull his arm back. He just carefully turned around and pushed away the arms and legs of the water goddess Fufu that were draped over him.
Then, the room fell silent again, and soon only the sound of calm and even breathing remained.
Rewind to a short time ago, go up one floor, to the room.
The room was pitch black, with the curtains drawn, and the dim moonlight only shone through the window, casting a gloomy shadow.
The room was quiet, as if everyone inside was already fast asleep. Only the bulging sheets on the two large rainforest wood beds rose and fell, hinting at the presence of the guests.
The two or three Fools exchanged glances, calculated the time, and realized the potion was almost taking effect; it was time.
One person stayed outside to keep watch, while the other two slipped into the room, left the door slightly ajar, and hid in a corner.
However, the people inside seemed to be fast asleep and were unaware that two uninvited guests had entered their room.
The teacups on the table were empty, and a knocked-over porcelain cup lay on the carpet, making the scene look somewhat messy.
Seeing this, the two fools relaxed their guard slightly. Judging from the situation in the room, the drug seemed to be working.
After all, as debt collectors, concealment, poisoning, and assassination are essential skills for them, and switching tea without anyone noticing is not difficult for them.
However, out of caution, the two took out the sacrificial knives they carried at their waists and quietly crept to the bedside.
As long as this job is done, even if I don't get a military rank, at least I won't have to worry about disappearing after I go back.
What was that saying again? "Doctor," I really want to improve.
The two debt collectors quickly exchanged a glance and nodded, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
Then, one person eagerly lifted the sheet and saw... a magic cat head swaying on a spring.
The smiles on their faces froze instantly as they watched the fluorescent green wind element flashes from the cat head grow increasingly rapid and dazzling, both revealing identical mournful expressions.
Oh no, Barbie Q is dead. These young people have no sportsmanship; they've come to deceive and ambush us, this bunch of old fools.
The next moment, the long-accumulated wind element erupted as expected, engulfing everything in the room in the vortex.
The story of the innkeeper seeing a room in complete disarray emitting a sharp, violent sound the next day is another one.
……
The next morning, at the small coffee shop in Port Omos.
This is a small bar located in a corner. In addition to drinks, it also sells some breakfast and snacks, but because of its remote location, its business does not seem to be as good as other shops.
However, its advantage lies in its tranquil environment and sparse population.
"Meow, meow, meow meow, meow~"
The cat-eared girl squatted at the entrance of the alley, holding a handful of dried fish in her hand. The round little orange cat was shamelessly whining and rolling around in her hand, its belly exposed.
What? Dignity? That thing is worth a few dried fish.
The girl remained expressionless, but judging from her constantly wagging cat ears and docile tail, she was in a good mood.
However, the person she was waiting for arrived soon, and the kitten wisely flipped over and jumped back to its arrogant demeanor.
"Ding ding, visitor detected, chat mode activated."
Mu Feng smiled helplessly. Linette's monotone tone, coupled with the content of her speech, really made her sound like a human-machine cat.
"Good morning, Lynette. Boss, two servings of fresh scallops, with lemon juice, and a pot of black tea."
The bartender went to the kitchen to prepare the food. As soon as Mu Feng turned back, he met Feng Maomao's inquisitive gaze.
Mu Feng's expression fell. He almost forgot that he and Linette weren't actually that close. He subconsciously ordered her favorite dish, which might make Linette suspicious of his background.
Fortunately, the girl didn't dwell on how someone knew her preferences and quickly got to the point.
"Report mode activated, Lord Mufeng. According to the investigation, the Fools who attacked yesterday were all subordinates of the Doctor."
"According to the prisoners, this operation was entirely a personal act, and its credibility needs to be verified. However, based on their statements, the composition and whereabouts of their squad members can be determined."
"Regarding the Doctor himself, it is only known that he has multiple bases in Sumeru, but the specific locations cannot be confirmed. End of article."
Mu Feng took the report from Linette and his lips twitched as he recalled the scene of the group of fools calling each other brothers the day before.
The wine is full of brotherhood, and the testimonies are all about brotherhood.
"You've worked hard, Lynette. Also, strictly speaking, I'm not your superior, so just relax."
Mu Feng casually tossed the report aside, rubbed his temples, and thought, "Dotore... this guy is really a big problem."
Although he is not afraid of the Doctor with his current strength, it is hard to guarantee that the Doctor will not choose to harm the people around him.
However, the Dotore fragments are numerous and quite powerful, so completely eliminating them will not be an easy task. I can't very well do what Narcida did and threaten to destroy the Heart of God, can I?
Mu Feng had a bit of a headache, but he didn't show it. He simply invited Linette to enjoy the breakfast that had just been served.
The shellfish, freshly caught from Omos Harbor, were very fresh, and paired with refreshing lemon juice, it was clear from the girl's constantly fluttering cat ears that Feng Maomao really enjoyed this breakfast.
"Ta-da! Friendly reminder: it's not very polite to stare at a girl's ears. Also, you can't touch them."
Lynette folded her ear, taking small bites of a scallop, while mercilessly exposing someone's little scheme.
Activating defense mode, that's the look in her eyes, exactly the same as when Lady Clementine was about to touch her ear.
However, the girl was unusually not angry. Apart from his identity, the other person seemed to have a scent that she liked.
Mu Feng turned his face away slightly, looking a little embarrassed. These were genuine cat ears, cough cough, just pure curiosity.
He, Mu, is a recognized respectable person in Xumifengdan.
This interruption eased the tense atmosphere somewhat. Although Lynette still didn't say much, their conversation became much lighter, until...
"What? Clementine and Elodie went to Sumeru City?"
