Chapter 4: Reporting to Godfather
“This is a pure natural fairy…” Jiang Yan exclaimed in amazement, and Mo Ming also looked at him. He reached out and gently touched the little fairy’s tiny body. The little fairy shivered and shook off specks of starlight. Senior Jiang Yan’s gaze also began to soften. “This is a truly pure fairy, a creature born from demonic qi absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, also called a spirit. This process takes tens of thousands of years, and if the timing and conditions aren’t right, it can’t be born. Xiao Lan, this thing can be sold for a lot of money…”
“Senior Jiang Yan!” I immediately pulled the little fairy out of his sight. This money-obsessed guy only thinks about money. I looked at him warily, “Don’t you dare get near my fairy. This is my spoils of war.” When playing online games, whoever gets the equipment keeps it, let alone in real life.
Senior Jiang Yan smiled with curved lips and slowly retreated to his original position.
“You’re so fierce, how could you still be bullied by Fu Su?” Hei Mei shook her head as if completely puzzled, her expression suggesting that Fu Su should be afraid of me instead.
Mao Mao immediately looked at me curiously: “Xiao Lan, there are no outsiders here, just tell us what Fu Su did exactly?”
My face immediately turned red and I started sinking down, sinking into the hot spring.
Everyone then looked at Mo Ming, whose expression was particularly calm.
Jiang Yan turned his head and directly wrapped his arm around Mo Ming’s wet shoulders: “You were with Xiao Lan at the time, right? What did you see?”
Mo Ming’s face also began to turn red, his jade-green eyes looking at me. I immediately widened my eyes, and he froze, also starting to sink down: “I… I didn’t see anything…”
“Hmph…” Jiang Yan looked at Mo Ming, then at me. Everyone’s gazes began to cross, and Jiang Yan seemed to see through something as he narrowed his eyes, slightly revealing a hint of killing intent. He turned away and started sucking his juice: “slurp slurp,” but the pressure around him began to continuously drop.
The atmosphere fell into awkwardness again. I immediately looked at Hei Mei: “Why did you guys suddenly change tactics?” I quickly changed the subject.
Hei Mei rolled her eyes at me instead: “It’s all because of you, taking up the points. After Fu Su led us to complete the 7-point mission, he saw through your tactics. He wanted to force you to go to the 10-point area, so he occupied all the remaining points, making me fight to death! Then, he sent us to hold back your people while he ran to the 10-point area to see how you were doing.”
So that’s how it was! Fu Su was waiting for me to embarrass myself or ask him for help!
“Well… although it was tiring, this battle was really satisfying. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.” Hei Mei curved her lips and happily chewed her gum.
“But… your team shouldn’t be able to see my formation, yet from his assignments, it was clearly targeted.” I said seriously. “He used Guang Shen, Hong Ri, and Qi Yuan William to fight against Jiang Yan and Mo Ming…” I looked at Jiang Yan and Mo Ming, they nodded, then I looked at Qing Ming, “Then used Bing Hu and Chi Yue to fight against Da Qing and Mao Mao, because he knew Mao Mao wasn’t a threat before transforming…”
“Mm!” Da Qing’s face also became serious.
“Finally…” I looked at Xiao Nuo, who lowered his gaze and gently stroked Xiao Bai, “he had you fight against Xiao Nuo. How did he know my personnel distribution?” I looked at Hei Mei.
Hei Mei chewed her gum and shrugged at me.
“Yeah, how did he know?” Mao Mao was also puzzled. Jiang Yan was already showing deep thought, leaning back slightly with his gaze glancing toward Xiao Nuo at the far end.
“Could there be a cheat!” Mao Mao exclaimed.
“There should be a spy!” Mo Ming said directly with a serious expression.
Immediately, everyone’s gazes crossed. Hei Mei chewed her gum: “A spy? Are you sure?”
“What else?” I asked Hei Mei back. Hei Mei shrugged again: “I just think it’s strange. Who would be a spy in the Loser House?”
I blinked and looked at Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan turned back to look at me, and I smiled: “Yeah, who would be a spy for our Loser House?”
“If someone joined your Loser House now, I’d actually think they might be a spy.” Hei Mei said while chewing her gum, “Because this livestream…” She turned to look at me with a serious gaze, “completely exposed your real strength.”
“Whoosh—” She blew a bubble, then “pop” it burst, bit by bit pulling it back into her mouth to continue chewing, her dark eye circles full of depression about everything worldly and immortal.
She was right. I was the one who exposed everyone. I was the real spy in the Loser House!
“Splash!” I stood up, startling everyone. Mo Ming hurriedly turned away, not looking at my body, and Jiang Yan’s gaze also slightly avoided me.
I picked up a cup of sake from the floating board: “I’m sorry to everyone! I apologize to everyone! I guarantee there won’t be a next time! I’ll drink first as respect!” I drained the sake in one gulp. Oh my god! What an indescribable taste – sweet with bitterness and a bit nose-stinging.
“Xia Xiao Lan, answer the phone, Xia Xiao Lan answer the phone…” Xuanyuan Chen’s voice came from beside the hot spring. I bowed to everyone embarrassedly: “Sorry sorry, I’m going to report for work. Everyone enjoy your soak, when we return to the Immortal Realm I’ll definitely serve you all like an ox and horse to make amends.”
“I’ll go with you.” Mo Ming immediately stood up, and suddenly my eyes were filled with snow-white. The hot spring water flowed down his body, over his firm, full chest, his clearly defined abs, and then, it was it was it was the V-line!
I immediately turned away and walked to shore. Really can’t soak in hot springs with good-looking guys, it’s too much of a test of willpower.
I grabbed a bathrobe and put it on. The phone stopped ringing and didn’t activate forced answer mode either. Probably after what happened last time, it embarrassed Xuanyuan Chen too.
His most beloved man… slept with me…
I wonder what his mood was like then. Really want to ask.
Mo Ming put on his bathrobe beside me. I turned to blink at Jiang Yan in the pool: “You guys soak a bit longer.”
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, smiled, and looked at Mao Mao and Qing Ming, giving me an “ok” gesture.
Although I know Mao Mao likes Qi Yuan William, we also need to help Qing Ming get more alone time with Mao Mao. I always feel that Qi Yuan William isn’t suitable for Mao Mao.
The little fairy lay on the cake warmed by the hot spring steam, twinkling all over, completely at ease, so I just let it be.
Mo Ming and I left the hot spring. We walked among the “wax figures,” and I took out my phone. The phone showed a text message with Xuanyuan Chen’s location.
Mo Ming glanced at it and suddenly grabbed my hand. I almost dropped my phone. Under the moonlight, he looked down at me seriously: “Did Fu Su touch you!”
My face immediately turned red, and I turned away. He tightened his grip on my hand: “I’m sorry.” His hoarse voice was full of self-blame.
I calmed my emotions, slowly pulled his hand away and stood in front of him, putting both hands in the bathrobe pockets, lowering my face to only look at his chest: “Mo Ming… thank you for always staying by my side, really… thank you…” I bowed deeply to him. He froze, and I didn’t get up for a long time, my long hair covering my face, “I’m very sorry… for hating you before… if… you weren’t a boy from the Immortal Realm, I think… I should have…”
“Xia Xiao Lan! Answer the phone! Xia Xiao Lan answer the phone!” A more stern voice came from my pocket.
I frowned and hung up the call, straightening my body. When I stood up, I felt a bit dizzy. He immediately reached out to grab my arm: “What’s wrong?” he asked deeply, “Don’t go!” he said almost commandingly.
I smiled lightly and shook my head: “I’m fine. I didn’t expect the sake to have some kick. I was just a bit dizzy, but my heart… is quite excited actually, heh…” I looked up at Mo Ming and smiled, “At least this bit of alcohol makes me happy now. I finally don’t have to think about Fu Su anymore, and I have the courage to see Xuanyuan Chen. Mm! I’m going!” I took a deep breath and strode forward!
Could there be anything worse than Xuanyuan Chen knowing everything? He already knows it all anyway.
Xuanyuan Chen’s location was at a villa halfway up the hot spring mountain. Hypnotized staff drove us up in a small car. I stood in front of the villa, Mo Ming stood by the door, looking at me seriously: “Be careful.”
I scratched my head: “You should… be the one being careful.” I looked at him, he stiffened, frowning: “The president and I aren’t the kind of relationship you think.”
“Heh heh heh heh…”
“Master Xia Xiao Lan! Please stop thinking randomly!” he said solemnly.
“But what if I can’t control it?” I looked at him like a rogue, “Besides, it makes me very happy.”
“It makes you happy?” He looked at me. I smiled and bit my lip, nodding. He frowned, then with a serious face again: “Fine, I love the president.”
“Pfft!” My face immediately flushed red under the influence of alcohol.
“Is that so.” Suddenly, the door opened, and Xuanyuan Chen appeared coldly in front of us. Immediately, Mo Ming awkwardly stepped aside. Xuanyuan Chen adjusted his glasses, the lenses flashing, “I received your confession, but I like women. Xia Xiao Lan, come in with me.” He glanced at me and turned to enter the house.
“Phew…” Mo Ming actually patted his chest and sighed in relief, “I’m relieved now…”
Huh? Could he have been misunderstanding that Xuanyuan Chen liked him all along too!
Damn, I always thought Mo Ming was somewhat narcissistic, turns out he’s that narcissistic!
I blinked and entered the house with both hands in my bathrobe.
Xuanyuan Chen stood by the window and looked at Mo Ming outside, “swoosh!” pulled the curtains closed, turned to look at me with a slight frown: “You come to my room dressed like this in the middle of the night?” He frowned and looked over the bathrobe I was wearing, as if my disheveled appearance made him very dissatisfied.
I looked at the bathrobe I was wearing and stared at him blankly: “We just came from the hot spring so of course we’re wearing this. Ah! You don’t think I’m trying to seduce you, do you?”
A cold flash crossed his lenses: “Are you wearing anything underneath?”
“Of course I am, my school uniform. Want to see?” I started pulling at the bathrobe’s belt, and he immediately frowned: “No need!”
He turned and started going upstairs: “Come to my room to talk.”
“Oh.” I followed behind him. He was in front, I was behind. He suddenly stopped on the stairs, and I directly bumped into his back. He stumbled forward, and his back began radiating cold air: “You’ve been drinking?” His low voice was full of disgust.
