Chapter 469 Would you mind if we came over for a meal?
After washing up, Lin Feng took out two sets of casual clothes from his spatial storage and changed into them.
Xia Ning wore a beige loose sweater and dark casual trousers. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a lazy and carefree vibe.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, was dressed in a dark gray hoodie and sweatpants, looking clean and neat.
Pushing open the door of the round building, sunlight rushed in, carrying the crisp chill unique to the snow-capped mountains.
Then the two of them froze.
Two people were standing outside the round building.
Wasim was wearing a dark jacket, and Evelyn stood beside him, her light gray trench coat buttoned up neatly, her blond hair gleaming softly in the morning light.
Lin Feng strode forward: "How long have you been waiting here? Why don't you come in and find me?"
Wasim shrugged, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
"I only waited for about an hour, mainly because I didn't want to disturb you."
Lin Feng: "..."
Evelyn's gaze fell on Lin Feng, and she asked, "You weren't hurt last night, were you?"
"No." Lin Feng shook his head, subconsciously raising his hand to touch the marks on his wrist.
Evelyn narrowed her eyes: "What happened to the marks on your wrists?"
Lin Feng scratched his head, pondering how to answer, when Xia Ning beside him spoke up.
"I tied him up."
His tone was flat, as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."
Evelyn frowned. "You tied that up?"
"Hmm." Xia Ning nodded, looking calmly at Evelyn. "It's all his fault for being so good at attracting women."
Several dark lines appeared on Lin Feng's forehead.
Evelyn's gaze darted back and forth between Lin Feng and Xia Ning, her brow furrowing even more deeply: "Attracting attention?"
"Cough—" Lin Feng coughed heavily. "It's about time. Let's go to the teleportation hall together."
Evelyn's eyes flickered: "Going back to the Mist City wouldn't be very interesting anyway."
Her tone was indifferent, her gaze lingered on Lin Feng's face for a moment, then turned to Xia Ning.
"I'm quite curious about your residence in the Tranquil Quadrant. Would I have the honor of giving you a tour?"
As she said this, she tugged at Wasim's arm.
Wasim paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, I've been wanting to see Brother Lin Feng's luxurious mansion in the Anning Quadrant for a long time. Would you mind if we came over for a meal?"
Lin Feng had actually had this idea for a long time.
Having fought side-by-side in dungeons and faced life-or-death situations together several times, we're practically family now.
With no dungeon quests to keep us occupied, it's the perfect time to relax and get together.
He immediately nodded with delight: "That would be wonderful, it just so happens that I've been wanting to invite you over."
Xia Ning frowned slightly.
Lin Feng noticed her expression, immediately rubbed her arm, and lowered his voice to say:
"We've been through several dungeons together, we're brothers who've been through thick and thin together, so let them come over to our house for a visit."
Xia Ning's gaze fell on Evelyn's face, with a hint of scrutiny.
Evelyn met her gaze without flinching, her tone frank and open:
"Sister Ning, you're not worried that I'll seduce Lin Feng, are you?"
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do something so low-class!"
"Besides—" she smirked, "you're all S-class. If any one of you just flicks your finger, I won't even be left with ashes. I still want to live to collect my retirement pension."
Lin Feng gave a confused look – no, is seducing me a low-class thing?
Xia Ning raised an eyebrow: "Alright, it would seem petty of me not to welcome you. Please."
Evelyn smiled and said, "Then I'll take you in."
..............................
The four of them followed the path they had taken, passing through the Silent Temple area bathed in morning light, and headed south.
Exit through the south gate and walk down the stone steps.
After walking for about a kilometer, the stone steps ended at a wide, open platform halfway up the mountain.
An ancient building stands here, constructed of grayish-blue boulders with layered stone eaves, exuding a strong Nepalese style.
Above the lintel, the relief of the sun and moon shining together exudes a solemn and serene power.
Teleportation Hall.
The four of them entered the hall and stood together on the teleportation array that glowed with a pale golden light.
The runes beneath their feet lit up in concentric circles, and a powerful beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the four of them.
A slight feeling of weightlessness and spatial distortion came over me, and the surrounding scenery swayed and blurred like ripples on water, eventually merging into a flowing light and shadow.
A dozen seconds later, the light faded, and the solid ground beneath my feet returned.
The four were already in the teleportation hall of the Tranquil Quadrant.
Stepping off the teleportation platform, Lin Feng took a deep breath, the familiar air filling his lungs.
Evelyn's gaze slowly swept across the hall, a complex expression appearing in her icy blue eyes.
"I'm here again." Her voice was soft, tinged with a touch of melancholy. "The last time I transited through here was right after Yongyan Flight ended."
She paused, then looked at Lin Feng: "Looking at it now, it really feels like a lifetime ago."
Wasim made no attempt to hide his amazement, clicking his tongue in wonder:
"This is the Tranquil Quadrant? This teleportation hall is amazing!"
"But what surprised me even more was that there was no eerie or oppressive atmosphere here at all."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, there are still people waiting outside."
The four stepped out of the teleportation hall.
Outside the door, a familiar figure was already waiting there—
Wearing a crisp butler's uniform and a meticulously tied bow tie, with a face almost indistinguishable from a human's, it was none other than Lai Fu.
Beside Lai Fu stood a woman.
Su Wan wore a light apricot-colored knitted dress, her long chestnut-colored curly hair loosely tied back, and she held a baby in her arms.
Kobayashi Tetsu was wrapped in a soft, light blue blanket and was sleeping soundly.
Laifu held Xiaozhixia's hand with his left hand.
Xiao Zhixia, with her hair in two little pigtails and wearing a pink dress, was holding a teddy bear in her other hand, tilting her head to examine the strangers who came out of the teleportation hall.
Xia Ning spotted Xiao Zhixia at a glance.
She released Lin Feng's hand, ran over quickly, squatted down, hugged Xiao Zhixia tightly, and stood up and spun around.
"Did you miss your mom?" Xia Ning hugged Xiao Zhixia tightly, her forehead touching Xiao Zhixia's, her voice incredibly soft.
Little Zhixia sniffed the air, blinked her big eyes, and blurted out in her childish voice, "I want to drink milk."
Xia Ning paused for a moment, then chuckled, "How about we drink it when we get back?"
"No, no, no—"
Little Zhixia shook her head like a rattle drum, her little mouth pursed, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.
"I want to drink milk now!"
Just as the little guy was about to cry, Laifu calmly took out a palm-sized portable sterilization box from inside his uniform.
With a "click," the box lid popped open, and a pacifier was taken out and precisely placed into Xiao Zhixia's mouth...
