Chapter 33

"Rest assured, today a special envoy from the Abnormal Ability Management Bureau has come to inspect Rongcheng.

"Most of the powerful teachers in the academy are not around; they will all attend the banquet tonight. The few teachers who remain are not very strong.

"Even if they discover us, as long as we don’t provoke them, they won’t come out to stop us, considering the safety of the students in the academy. After all, the spirit stones in the store are far less important than the students."

The team leader confidently said, "I will prepare boats in Li River in advance. After the operation is successful, we will immediately board the boats and go downstream directly to the East Sea, then to the open sea, where the organization will have large ships waiting to take us to other countries' waters. This way, the Abnormal Ability Management Bureau won’t be able to track us."

"Team leader, you are truly a genius!"

"Team leader, you live up to your nickname 'Wits.' A single store has at least 1,500 to 2,000 spirit stones. Even if we only rob 10 stores, we will have at least 15,000 spirit stones, which is 1.5 billion according to our pricing. We will save the organization so much money, and this year's bonus is guaranteed."

"Go and prepare! Rest well and wait for my notification. I will deal with this base shortly." The team leader instructed.

"Yes!" The two subordinates replied in unison.

...

"Ding dong!"

"Who is it?"

"Delivery!"

"We didn’t order any delivery!"

"Two watermelons! Didn’t you order them?"

"Click!" Zhou Yue, with a seductive figure, opened the door and said, "I must have forgotten. I just ordered them a while ago. Come in quickly and help me put these two watermelons in the kitchen fridge."

"Only delivery to the door is included. Extra services require additional charges."

Lin Fei, holding two large watermelons, stood at the door and said.

"Oh, how much extra would you charge?" Zhou Yue, wearing a low-cut strapless top and short shorts, crossed her arms, making her already ample assets even more prominent.

If a regular man faced such a Zhou Yue, he would definitely surrender immediately. Unfortunately, his opponent was Lin Fei.

"Alright, no more joking. Why are you dressed so lightly? The weather has cooled down recently. Don’t catch a cold." Lin Fei, muttering a calming spell, forced his way in, pushing Zhou Yue aside.

"Hmph! You started it, and now you act like it’s my fault. Your ability to twist the facts is getting better!" Zhou Yue said discontentedly.

"I’ve put the watermelons in the kitchen. The weather is cool, so don’t refrigerate them. Eating too much cold food is bad for your health." Lin Fei instructed, "Where is Xiao Ru?"

"We ran out of vinegar. She just went to the convenience store in the neighborhood to buy some." Zhou Yue replied.

Lin Fei took a can of coconut juice from the fridge and started drinking it.

"Get me one too." Seeing Lin Fei drink the coconut juice, Zhou Yue also wanted some.

Lin Fei, hearing this, took another can from the fridge and then made flames appear on his hand to heat the cold coconut juice.

"Here!" Lin Fei extinguished the flames and threw the coconut juice to the stunned Zhou Yue.

"You—!" Zhou Yue, fumbling, caught the coconut juice Lin Fei threw, "You can only make small fireballs, but now you can make a flame palm?"

"People improve. A few days ago, I wanted to heat up the leftover lunch, and I accidentally used this move. It saves me a lot of time heating up food." Lin Fei explained.

"Is that possible? Why can’t I awaken such abilities? I’m so envious!" Zhou Yue stared at Lin Fei’s hand that had just produced flames.

Ignoring the stunned Zhou Yue, Lin Fei went to the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching the popular drama "My Wife Has Abnormal Abilities." The drama tells the story of an ordinary family where the male protagonist marries a wife with abnormal abilities, and many happy and funny things happen in their home.

"I didn’t expect you to like this show too!" Zhou Yue asked, sitting next to Lin Fei.

"I do! I like comedies. This show is fun and entertaining, and it suits my taste." Lin Fei said.

"Do you like the female lead?" Zhou Yue asked casually.

"Average. I prefer the male lead!"

"She is very beautiful! You don’t like her, and you prefer men? Are you that kind of person?" Zhou Yue looked at Lin Fei with suspicion.

"What are you thinking! I judge based on the plot. She is beautiful, but I prefer the male lead’s diligence, bravery, and positive attitude. Don’t you find it interesting when he uses his wit to amuse his wife?" Lin Fei said, looking down on Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue was speechless at Lin Fei’s perspective.

"Click!" The door opened, and Wang Xiaoru returned home with a large bag of items.

"Lin Fei is here!"

"Yep, I just got here."

"Xiao Ru, you said you were going to buy vinegar. Why did you buy so much stuff? If I had known, I would have gone with you to help carry the bags."

"I can manage! There’s not much. You can keep watching TV. I’ll prepare dinner soon." Wang Xiaoru said.

"Do you need any help?"

"No, it’s just cooking a soup and stir-frying a couple of dishes. It’s simple." Wang Xiaoru said.

Lin Fei, hearing this, stayed in the living room and continued watching the drama.

A moment later.

"Alright! You two, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Wang Xiaoru’s voice came from the kitchen.

"Coming!" Zhou Yue finished the last sip of coconut juice and went to the bathroom.

After a while, the three of them sat down at the round dining table.

Looking at the dinner on the table—crispy golden dumplings, a large bowl of tomato and egg soup, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a dish of cold tofu, and a plate of cold cucumber—Lin Fei’s appetite increased greatly with the company.

"Delicious, Xiao Ru, your fried dumplings are getting better and better!" Lin Fei said, taking a bite of a fried dumpling.

"Really? If you like them, eat more. I made a lot today. I’ll pack some for you to take home. If you want more in the future, just send me a WeChat message, and I’ll fry some for you." Wang Xiaoru said happily.

"Ah! That would be too much trouble for you!" Lin Fei said, feeling embarrassed.

"It’s no trouble. I like eating fried dumplings too, and it’s more enjoyable to eat with company." Wang Xiaoru said with a smile.

"Next time, you should invite us to your place for your hot and spicy fish. We haven’t had your cooking for a while." Zhou Yue said.

"Sure, next time you come to my place, I’ll cook for you." Lin Fei nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaoru’s cooking was indeed excellent! Lin Fei and Zhou Yue both had their bellies filled to the brim.
