Nightingale’s muttering did nothing to slow down Jiangnan’s business!
It was still absolutely booming!
The night grew deeper, everyone was shivering from the cold, yet they stubbornly queued up to buy the slippers!
“How much was it again? Thirty thousand? I’ll transfer it to you!”
This bloke’s hands were frozen bright red, trembling as he typed in the amount!
“Whoa, bloody hell! N-Nan Shen! I added an extra zero!”
He had accidentally sent Jiangnan three hundred thousand!
“Sorry, sorry! I typed it wrong! Can you send it back?”
Jiangnan gave a helpless smile. “Look at you! So careless. You’ve got to be more careful in future!”
The bloke scratched his head with a laugh. “Yeah, yeah, you’re right!”
Jiangnan continued. “Honestly, you’re lucky it was me!”
“If it had been anyone else, they might have sent it straight back!”
The bloke kept smiling. “Thanks! Thank you!”
Then he froze!
Hang on…
What did you just say?
So you’re basically saying you’re keeping it?
And I’m lucky it was you?
How big a loss do you have to take to call meeting you “lucky”?
What is wrong with you!
The bloke panicked. “No! That’s my money!”
Jiangnan glared. “What do you mean your money? Once it’s in my hands, it’s my money!”
The bloke: “But you have to give it back!”
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips, utterly righteous. “I earned this money fair and square through my own abilities! Why should I give it back?”
[Resentment from Wang Jiahe +1000!]
You bloody know this is robbery?
Earned through your abilities? And you won’t return it?
Go apologise to every robber locked up in prison!
“Off you go! Don’t hold up my business!”
With that, he stuffed three Vitality Ginseng into the bloke’s hands and shooed him away!
The bloke stared blankly at the three ginseng roots!
Why does it suddenly feel like I even made a profit on a pair of slippers!
The stall kept going strong right up until past nine. Business was still insane!
But when Jiangnan glanced back!
Nightingale’s slipper soles were clearly about to wear right through!
And the look in her eyes!
(ꐦ◣‸◢)
They had definitely turned into murderous knife-eyes!
A cold chill shot up Jiangnan’s spine. He crouched down, packed up the stall in a flash, folded his little stool, turned, and bolted for home!
“Jiangnan! Stinky Jiangnan! Get back here!”
“Waaah~”
“I won’t steal your food any more, okay? Come back!”
[Resentment from Nightingale…]
No way!
He had to think of something to save his life!
He was still counting on this perpetual-motion girl to help him farm a spirit bead later!
After Jiangnan teleported away!
The space wormholes automatically closed. The Wind-Chasing Girl, finally freed from the infinite loop, shot forward once more…
Back home, Jiangnan didn’t even have time to count how much he had made tonight!
He rushed frantically up to the second floor!
“Xuexue, Lang Mie, Mira! In a bit, if someone starts fighting me, whatever you do, don’t get involved!”
With that one sentence, Jiangnan vanished!
Zhong Yingxue and the other two were completely baffled. What on earth?
Xia Yao raised her hand. “I’m ordering popcorn. Anyone want some?”
…
At exactly 9:27, the slipper soles finally wore out completely!
Nightingale returned to the villa with hollow eyes, both legs trembling!
Her delicate little feet were scorched black from friction. The soles were gone!
But the flip-flop straps were still dangling from her toes!
Staring at the villa door, Nightingale ground her teeth!
“Stinky Jiangnan! I’ll chop…”
The door suddenly flew open!
There stood Jiangnan in a tailcoat, handsome enough to make hearts skip!
He stepped forward, scooped Nightingale up in a princess carry, and said in a deep voice, “Yesterday you carried me home! Today I carry you…”
Nightingale: “Huh?”
Seeing Jiangnan’s serious, solemn expression, Nightingale was utterly stunned!
He… he was being a bit dashing!
But so what?
That didn’t stop her from wanting to kill him!
Jiangnan carried her into the living room!
On the dining table sat eighteen steaming hot dishes! Plus three huge pots of rice!
A whole steamer of meat buns, giving off an irresistible aroma!
Three candles were lit on the table, alongside a “bouquet” made entirely of pistol-grip chicken legs!
Nightingale: ٩(º﹃º٩)
Her ability already consumed massive amounts of energy and stamina. After more than three hours of non-stop sprinting!
She was starving mad! The moment she saw the mountain of food, how could she hold back?
Everything else was perfect!
A bouquet made of chicken legs?
How wonderfully practical?
Jiangnan gently set Nightingale down on a chair!
With professional flair, he flicked open a napkin and tucked it into her collar!
“This… this is all for me?”
Nightingale looked completely lost!
Jiangnan beamed. “For protecting me so devotedly! Don’t you deserve it?”
Nightingale: (⑉Ծ^Ծ⑉)
Exactly, exactly!
Food first, yes!
She would eat, then chop Jiangnan to death afterwards!
Upstairs at that moment, three little heads were stacked in a column, peeking round the corner!
Secretly watching Jiangnan and Nightingale!
Weren’t they supposed to fight? What’s going on?
Why haven’t they started yet?
We’re waiting to watch! The popcorn is ready!
Nightingale’s figure blurred for a second!
Every dish on the table, the three pots of rice, the meat buns, the massive chicken legs, everything vanished!
If the candles had been edible!
She wouldn’t even have left those!
Hmm?
What are those little tooth marks on the candles?
Before Jiangnan could recover from his shock!
Nightingale, letting out a satisfied burp, gripped her knife hilt again!
Jiangnan: !!!
He instantly scooped her up again!
Carried her to his room, laid her on his bed!
His body vanished, then reappeared holding a basin of steaming-hot Dali 2.0!
Nightingale shrank back. “Y-you… what are you doing?”
Without a word, Jiangnan crouched, took her delicate little feet, and placed them in the hot water!
An extremely pure surge of energy flowed into Nightingale’s body through her soles!
Nightingale instantly relaxed completely, though her ear tips turned bright red!
Aaaaaah!
Nan Shen! Nan Shen is washing my feet?
This… this…
“You mustn’t! This… how could I let you?”
Nightingale tried to pull her feet away!
Jiangnan held them firmly!
It had to be done!
It absolutely had to be done. His future plans and lifelong happiness depended on it!
Behold my ultimate move!
[Adding 111,000 skill points!]
[Skill upgraded! Top-tier Foot Massage (Master): LV0!]
He poured over 110,000 skill points straight in!
Raising Foot Massage from Proficient all the way to Master level!
Jiangnan grasped Nightingale’s little feet!
His hands moved like a dream, flying up and down, spinning left and right, perfectly rhythmic!
An incredibly soothing sensation shot straight to the top of her skull. That electric feeling made her scalp tingle!
“Ah~ Oh heavens! I… I…”
Just as you can never know how many stars are in the night sky!
You will never understand how blissful Jiangnan’s master-level foot massage truly is!
At that moment Nightingale felt she had ascended to heaven!
Like walking on clouds!
Nightingale blushed. “Jiangnan! Stop it! It’s so embarrassing!”
“Oh ho? Shall I stop then?”
Nightingale: “J-just… keep going!”
Jiangnan grinned mischievously. “Says no with her mouth, but her body is very honest!”
Right now, the three girls eavesdropping with their ears pressed to the bedroom door were completely gobsmacked!
In an instant, the popcorn in Xia Yao’s mouth lost all flavour!
What was that about stopping and continuing!
Something’s not right here!
Xia Yao panicked!
This is the “fight” you were talking about?
No way, no way!
I’m not having it!
In her agitation, Xia Yao kept shuffling forward!
Then…
BANG!
The entire door frame and door slammed flat into the room!
Zhong Yingxue reacted lightning-fast, slapping a hand over Mira’s eyes. “No! You’re too young! You can’t look… uh!”
At that moment all five of them froze solid!
Jiangnan was crouched on the floor massaging Nightingale’s feet, sweating buckets!
The water in the basin had turned pitch black…
Xia Yao glanced at Nightingale, then at Jiangnan, then her own cheeks flushed bright red!
Foot massage?
You’re kidding?
Is that it?
“P-popcorn… anyone want popcorn?”
Jiangnan: !!!
It’s over, it’s over!
They all saw everything!
I’ve lost all my dignity!
“W-well… I only just learned it! Want to try? Guaranteed heavenly!”
Acting cute and begging for gifts! Even Nan Shen himself can’t stop me!
