Chapter 88

Mufeng climbed out of the game pod and walked to the bathroom to freshen up. He then emerged from the room, looking refreshed and invigorated.

"Big Brother Mufeng!" Mufeng's room was on the first floor, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Shochun, who had already prepared breakfast and was setting the table. Hearing the sound of Mufeng opening the door, Shochun immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

"Good morning, Shochun!" Mufeng genuinely cared for this gentle and adorable girl.

"Big Brother Mufeng, breakfast is ready, come and eat!" Shochun said with a smile. For her, the happiest thing was to see everyone finish the breakfast she had worked hard to prepare.

"Wait a moment, I'll go check on Kotori first!" Mufeng said and headed straight upstairs.

"Ah! Big Brother Mufeng..." Shochun reached out to stop Mufeng but failed. A flush quickly spread across her cheeks. "I hope Big Brother Mufeng doesn't notice..." Now, she could only pray.

Kotori was resting on the bed in Shochun's room, so she wouldn't disturb the other girls. Since Shochun was downstairs, Mufeng directly opened the door and entered the room.

To his surprise, Kotori, who had been sleeping for so long, was still sound asleep. She was hugging her rabbit plushie, which she rarely let go of, and her small chest rose and fell with her steady breathing. Her long lashes fluttered gently, which was quite endearing. Mufeng couldn't resist leaning down to pinch Kotori's soft, pink cheeks.

"Mmm... Mmm..." Kotori, who had probably already slept enough, was startled awake by Mufeng's gentle touch. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Mufeng with a dazed expression.

"Kotori, it's time to get up. Shochun has already prepared breakfast!" Mufeng said affectionately.

"Mmm... No! I want to sleep more!" Kotori, still not fully awake, pouted.

"Then I'll have to use that trick, huh?" Mufeng's smile was a bit mischievous.

"What! That trick?" Kotori shivered and instantly woke up. But before she could say, "No, I'll get up right away," Mufeng had already picked her up and hoisted her onto his shoulder!

"Charge!~" Mufeng shouted as he carried Kotori to the bathroom.

"Help!~" Kotori's scream echoed from upstairs.

"Well... The siblings really have a good relationship..." Shochun, hearing Kotori's scream, laughed awkwardly, momentarily forgetting her worries.

It was still summer, and Kotori was only wearing a cool, small top and a cute, matching cotton underwear. In this outfit, she stood on a small stool in front of the sink, where she could easily see herself in the mirror.

However, she couldn't complain at the moment because her brother Mufeng was brushing her teeth for her! Yes, Mufeng was doing the brushing, while Kotori just stood there...

As he brushed Kotori's teeth, Mufeng couldn't help but smile warmly. When Kotori was younger, she couldn't get up by herself, and every day Mufeng would carry her to the bathroom, help her wash up, and dress her before she was fully awake. Then, after eating breakfast in a daze, Kotori would be completely refreshed!

How long had it been since they did this? Mufeng couldn't quite remember. Since the day Kotori stubbornly said she could do it herself, he hadn't helped her with her morning routine like this. Every day, the Kotori who appeared before Mufeng was already washed, dressed, and with perfectly neat hair. Even during the recent nights when she stayed up late for gaming, Kotori didn't give up on this.

Now, the feeling of being cared for by her brother made her want to cry. There were two reasons why she didn't want Mufeng to help her with her morning routine: one, it made her seem too childish, and she was a Blood True Ancestor with over ten thousand years of age! The second reason was that she didn't want Mufeng to see her unappealing side every day. Of course, that was just what Kotori thought; in Mufeng's eyes, Kotori was still cute even without washing up.

After brushing her teeth, Mufeng helped Kotori wash her hair. Under the warm water, Kotori was now fully awake. Carefully drying Kotori's hair, he dressed her in a cute Gothic princess dress and started braiding her hair. After carefully tying her twin tails and putting on a beautiful head accessory, Mufeng was very satisfied with his work.

"Alright, Kotori. Let's go down and eat!" Everything was done, and they could go eat.

"Wait a moment!" Kotori picked up a transparent box from the table and ran to the toilet.

"Huh?" Even Mufeng, who had a thick skin, couldn't help but blush. On the table where Kotori had taken the box, there were Shochun's pink undergarments. If that wasn't enough, the bra and panties were neatly laid out beside them... Mufeng then remembered that Shochun seemed to try to stop him when he went upstairs, but he had ignored her...

"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!" Mufeng immediately told himself to keep quiet and not say a word.

"Done!~" Kotori's head popped out of the toilet. It turned out she had gone to put in her contact lenses in front of the mirror! Now, her right eye had turned back to the eerie red. Inheriting her British bloodline from her mother, Kotori's eyes were actually a brilliant blue like the sea, but she used contact lenses to make them red and blue.

"You're finally down!" Shochun, who had been anxiously waiting downstairs, finally saw Mufeng and Kotori come down. Seeing that Mufeng's expression was normal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had no idea that Mufeng's acting skills were already perfect.

"Kotori, you look so beautiful today!" Shochun couldn't help but praise, noticing that Kotori seemed different today.

"R-Really?" Kotori, not believing it, touched her face.

"Yes, your complexion is rosy and glowing! Hahaha..." Shochun also started to tease Kotori. It seemed they had been getting along well recently. For Mufeng, he naturally hoped that Kotori would have more female friends.

"Good morning..." Soon after Mufeng and Kotori sat down, Qinshuang and Lily, yawning and swaying, came down. Although they had washed up, their hair was still a bit messy.

"What happened to you two?" Mufeng asked curiously.

"Ah!~" Lily couldn't help but yawn. "It's all because of the guild. I didn't expect managing a newly established guild to be so troublesome! Sister and I are almost exhausted!"

"Members, management, elite members, and the guild's rules and spirit—all of these need to be built from scratch! Once these are established, management will be much easier, and the guild leader can even be a hands-off manager." Mufeng said with a smile. He understood the difficulties of starting a guild, especially one with grand ambitions, better than anyone.

"I hope that day comes soon!" Compared to Lily, Qinshuang clearly hadn't lost her fighting spirit.

"Right, managing the guild is important, but don't neglect your levels." Mufeng said. The importance of levels was clearly demonstrated in this divine artifact quest. If players weren't the first to reach level 30 in their respective races and take on their class quests, they wouldn't be able to accept such a grand quest.

"Okay, we'll work hard!"

Just as everyone was eating breakfast, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang.

"I'll go open the door!" Shochun immediately stood up and went to the door.

"Who are you?~" Shochun's voice came from the doorway.

"Is there a man named Mufeng living in this villa?" the person outside asked.

"Ah, this..." Before Shochun could answer, the three people in the room, except for Kotori, quickly rushed to the door.

"I'm Mufeng. Who are you?" Mufeng said. Outside the door stood over twenty men in black suits and black sunglasses.

"Mufeng!~" A voice filled with suppressed anger rang out. The men parted to make a path, and a man wrapped in bandages was wheeled over. "We... meet again!" When the man lifted his head, Mufeng recognized him—it was Zhang Wei, the man from the Psionic Association who had come to capture him!
