Chapter 620: Can’t Hold Back (2/2)

Murong Mingyue carefully walked up to He Yi before whispering something I couldn’t hear beside her ears. The latter immediately turned bright red and chided her. ”Mingyue, you glutton, how can you say that about us…”

I asked, ”What did she say? Share please…”

Murong Mingyue turned around, put a hand on her waist and shot me a flirtatious smile. ”Oh, I’m just telling my Eve that it’s fine for you to do that if you really do love each other~~”

”...”

Clearly we were all exhausted and a bit out of sorts today.

I felt at a loss as I stood by the window ledge and watched He Yi helping out Murong Mingyue with the laundry. Was my feelings for He Yi love or not? If I really did it with He Yi, could I still hold Lin Yixin’s hand like before?

Only the heavens could answer that question.

……

I took a bath and returned to my room. Finally, a terrible wave of sleepiness overcame me.

It was late morning by the time I opened my eyes once more. I could hear Murong Mingyue and He Yi chatting cheerfully outside. Beiming Xue was awake as well.

I opened the door, and a captivating smell entered my nostrils. To my surprise, He Yi—wearing a coffee-colored uniform and a white apron today—was cooking in the kitchen.

”Oh, you’re awake?” He Yi shot me a smile and said, ”I cooked a pot of pumpkin porridge this morning. By the way, you should avoid eating steamed pork buns from now on. The bun most likely has additives on it, and the pork is probably untested meat.”

I curled my lips. ”Eve, your thinking is way too pessimistic. You need to think optimistically, okay?”

He Yi burst into laughter. ”I’m just caring for everyone’s health, that’s all. Now go wash your face and get ready to eat. Mingyue is out buying us ‘healthy’ breakfast, or so she claimed!”

”Oh, she’s buying breakfast?”

”Yeah!”

Murong Mingyue returned at this exact moment with a plastic bag. She held it in front of her and snickered loudly. ”Hey Eve, I bought three catties of wonderful meat buns for you! Don’t worry, the shop owner promised me over and over again that he used neither recycled cooking oil nor stale pork to make his buns…”

He Yi replied expressionlessly, ”Fuck you…”

I nearly fainted from laughing too hard. Wrapping an arm around He Yi’s shoulder, I said, ”Give up, it’s impossible to find healthy food at this day and age unless you grow everything yourself. Let’s buy a dozen or so acres of land and plant some bok choy, cauliflower and so on when we’ve earned enough money. I’ll fish at the river, and we’ll enjoy some healthy, 100% organic food every day…”

He Yi giggled. ”Sounds great!”

Murong Mingyue was also smiling. ”It’s a promise then. Don’t forget the two of us, alright?”

Beiming Xue chirped with a look of happiness. ”Big bro is going to raise us? That’s awesome…”

I complained while moving toward the bathroom. ”God dammit, I’m just making a suggestion. There’s no need to go this deep…”

……

After I was done washing myself, I sat down to eat breakfast with the girls. My appetite was better than ever before as I drank the sweet pumpkin porridge and ate the delicious meat buns. It wasn’t long before the buns were all gone, and I ate the most out of everyone. It was probably because I spent too much stamina and brain power as of late.

”Lu Chen, what are you going to do after breakfast?” He Yi asked.

I thought for a moment before answering, ”I’m going to level up and get myself a super quest!”

”Oh, a super quest?” He Yi smiled slightly. ”You’re going to speak with that amazing loli Xinran, aren’t you?”

”Yeah.” I nodded. ”Although, it’s been so long she’s no longer a loli. I think she was an amazing person in the purgatory, but I’m not sure. What I do know is that Xinran will never hurt me, and that’s enough. Knowing her identity, I’m sure I’ll be able to receive an amazing main quest from her, hehe~~”

Murong Mingyue looked up while wiping the porridge stains at the corner of her mouth. ”Shame that Eve and I have to go to Hangzhou in a moment, or we would come with you and leech some experience.”

I said, ”Yeah, the two of you are about to get outleveled by everyone. Sis really didn’t get to use her Bright Mirror much despite it being such an amazing Famous General Skill, and you were both absent for most of the territory war. Our priests are really lacking without your Famous General Skill, you know that? If you came back even a moment sooner, our defense line may not have crumbled as early as it did.”

Murong Mingyue shrugged before pointing her chopsticks at He Yi. ”You think I want to be absent? I have to travel places with your beloved. If possible, I want my life to be less busy as well. I want to heal people online from time to time, leech experience from my party, and marry a super rich handsome guy so I can just eat and sleep every single day!”

I rolled my eyes at her. ”You really are a glutton!”

Beiming Xue giggled. ”Alright alright, Sister Eve and Sister Mingyue will get a break eventually, so don’t worry. Anyway, I’m going to find a quest and make a rush for Level 150 as well. I want to be the first sixth-promotion super archer of China!”
