Lufeng was very confused; overnight he had become a brother-in-law, and this development was too fast. Soon, Lufeng thought of Xiaoxiao.
“Oh no! Xiaoxiao won’t misunderstand, will she? This is going to be a big problem.”
Feeling anxious, Lufeng went downstairs. When he saw Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing, his heart raced, fearing that Murong Xiaoxiao would leave.
“Brother, come eat! You still have to go to work later,” Murong Xiaoxiao said kindly upon seeing Lufeng.
Lufeng was taken aback: “Okay!”
“Pfft~” Seeing Lufeng’s nervous expression made Murong Xiaoxiao smile, and she continued, “Are you feeling unwell? Or are you still not awake?”
……
“Alright, you two hurry up and eat. I’ll have Xiao Qiang take you to the company later. Xiao Feng, stop dazing around and sit down to eat!” Queen Mother urged.
Under the watchful eye of his mother, Lufeng really couldn’t say much more. After nervously finishing breakfast, he left with Aunt Wang in her Land Rover.
Lufeng intended to sit in the back seat, but enthusiastic Aunt Wang wouldn’t let him off so easily. She kept asking him when he and Wang Xiaojing started dating and when they were getting engaged, leaving Lufeng dizzy. In the end, it was Wang Xiaojing who settled it with one sentence.
“Brother, we haven’t even started yet! I just admire him; I never said I’d marry him.”
Aunt Wang slammed on the brakes in surprise: “Admire? Then why did you let him sleep in your bed?”
“Well… I forgot we have a guest room,” Wang Xiaojing struggled to explain.
Given Wang Xiaojing’s flimsy excuse, even if she claimed it was fate, Aunt Wang didn’t believe it. She continued driving and said after a moment’s thought, “I think Lufeng is quite reliable. This matter is settled; you two should get along well. Our mom also likes him. By the way, you might not know this, but last night Alang got drunk too.”
Lufeng was speechless; he hadn’t even spoken yet and his own marriage was being arranged for him. But he felt that if he refused now, Aunt Wang would definitely be furious. After all, he had already slept in someone else's bed; there was no way to explain that away. However, what worried Lufeng most was whether Murong Xiaoxiao could accept it. Deep down, he genuinely wanted to protect Murong Xiaoxiao. Over time, that admiration had been diluted by familial affection. If he really ended up with Wang Xiaojing, it would be like accumulating virtue from a past life.
Wang Xiaojing pouted, "What does it have to do with me if he gets drunk?"
"Don't pretend. Before Lufeng came, everyone knew that Alang liked you. It's just a matter of your personal feelings. His family's conditions are not bad, and the reason he hired us is also because of you. Some people in the studio were brought in by him. If this matter isn't handled well, it will have a huge impact on us," Aunt Wang said with concern, slowly revealing the truth.
Thinking about this headache, Aunt Wang felt quite frustrated. "Forget it, matters of the heart cannot be forced. I’ll invite him out another day to relax a bit; I think he should understand."
The mood of everyone suddenly became heavy as they each thought about their own troubles. Lufeng was thinking about Murong Xiaoxiao, Murong Xiaoxiao was thinking about the future of Wang Xiaojing and Lufeng, while Wang Xiaojing was contemplating the relationship between Murong Xiaoxiao and Lufeng.
There was no conversation along the way. Upon arriving at the office building, they each returned to their respective team rooms.
Aunt Wang had a good sense of time; when Lufeng returned to the team room, it was exactly 7:50 PM, just in time for the daily team meeting. After ten minutes, it was game time again. This routine work life felt fresh and interesting to everyone.
But Lufeng understood that no matter what you do, there will come a day when you feel bored. So he decided to make the limited time valuable.
During the meeting, Lufeng kept an eye on Murong Xiaoxiao's expression. He didn't know what Wang Xiaojing and Murong Xiaoxiao had talked about, but it seemed like there wasn't much going on. Lufeng felt somewhat relieved and stopped worrying about these annoying matters. At 8:00 PM sharp, Lufeng entered Wen Tian World on time.
Now at level 25, with the team's average level at 24, what needed to be discussed was naturally about the situation in West Lake. Combining the terrain of Heavenly Dragon's West Lake map with the locations of NPCs, Lufeng briefly analyzed the game itinerary for the next day before everyone returned to their rooms to prepare for going online.
With a loud bang from the sky and a whirlwind of chaos, Lufeng virtually entered Wen Tian World. Soon after, bright white light filled the surroundings as thousands of players logged in almost simultaneously. This demonstrated the loading speed of Asking Heaven's official server. Because of this, many idle players would enter Wen Tian World to experience something different, significantly increasing the number of Asking Heaven players.
In contrast to Heavenly Dragon's servers in the past, where new servers would require hours of waiting before being able to log in—something countless players could relate to—the feeling was akin to Yun Di's frustration over a certain incident involving Li Hong's egg pain.
At this moment, Lufeng and others were under a peach blossom tree outside Suzhou City. The morning light simulated reality and illuminated every corner of Wen Tian World. The fragrance of flowers filled the air as sunlight warmed them; all discomfort from last night was flushed away down the toilet along with rushing water, leaving them feeling incredibly refreshed.
"Boss, can we reach level 30 today?" Gao Chao asked with a smile while walking along a path outside the city, clearly having had an intense battle last night.
On the other hand, Qin Shou and Qiu Han seemed unsatisfied and were unsure if they had even participated in any battles.
Regarding Gao Chao, Lufeng really wanted to ignore him, but still patiently said, "I'm not a weather forecaster. Whether I can level up to 30 will be clear after I log off tonight."
Gao Chao pouted and wisely kept his mouth shut.
The group of six quickly arrived at the teleportation array of West Lake. After stepping into the array, colorful lights flashed, and amidst a dizzying swirl, they arrived at the long-awaited West Lake.
This was a lush green world with clear air, free of PM2.5. Breathing felt refreshing and invigorating. Lufeng could confidently guarantee that soon many middle-aged and elderly people would come to West Lake to relax; it would surely be more effective than any tonic. Perhaps by then, they could run up ten flights of stairs without getting red-faced or out of breath.
Upon entering West Lake, the first thing that caught their eye was a wooden sign with the words "West Lake" on it, flanked by long drooping willows. Looking ahead revealed a bluestone path.
Here, nature and human creation blended seamlessly, complementing each other. The beauty of nature combined with ethical beauty reached the pinnacle of aesthetics. Lufeng couldn't help but exclaim, "The beauty of West Lake is visible in both day and night!"
The group of six did not linger; after walking just a few steps, they spotted Wang Chao, and Lufeng hurriedly approached to explain the situation.
Upon hearing that Lufeng was a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, Wang Chao's face flushed with excitement as he exclaimed, "I am Wang Chao, a deputy general from Luoyang! I've heard about you from General Yang Wenguang. Your arrival is timely; I need your help!"
"Burp~" After speaking, Wang Chao let out a loud belch that stunned those around him.
"Damn it, this feels too real!" A wave of alcohol stench hit Gao Chao's face, making him almost gag.
Wang Chao swayed while holding a large saber and continued, "I'm not drunk; I've only had a little! I came to West Lake to visit my brother Ma Han. We're closer than real brothers! Today I drank thirty-six bowls with him; it was exhilarating! I was just about to head back to Luoyang when I ran into you, burp..."
"Hey, damn it, this doesn't look like someone preparing to go back to Luoyang..." Qin Shou couldn't help but mutter as he and Wang Xiaojing moved several meters away from Wang Chao, waiting for Lufeng to finish his task before considering whether to take on this drunkard's mission.
Wang Chao ignored everyone else. He couldn't communicate with anyone outside his one-meter radius using his spiritual sense. The players nearby had already scattered due to the stench of alcohol emanating from him. Lufeng remained steadfast and endured the situation.
Seeing Lufeng's expression of restraint, Gao Chao admired him greatly: "The boss is indeed the boss; there's no doubt about it."
Wang Xiaojing glared: "If you say another word, I'll seal your mouth."
...
Wang Chao continued, "Ma Han said he was stung by a Poison Bee. On my way back, I happened to encounter a swarm of Poison Bees. They must be the culprits who harmed my brother, so I fought with the Poison Bees and pulled out one of their stingers. Please take it to Ma Han for me; I'm heading back to Luoyang now."
"Okay!" Lufeng said while covering his nose. The stinger from the Poison Bee automatically entered the task section of his inventory, and he accepted this mission—[Good Brother].
Mission Objective: Deliver the Poison Bee stinger to Ma Han in West Lake's Tiger Run Village.
Every player entering Asking Heaven has a personal inventory divided into three sections: Items, Materials, and Quests, each with twenty slots. The Items and Materials sections can be expanded, and Tiger Run Village is the only village in West Lake.
After handing the mission to Lufeng, Wang Chao swayed unsteadily. If it weren't for his long knife supporting him, he would have fallen over. Lufeng asked worriedly, "Do you want me to walk you home?"
"Go away, who needs you to walk me home? I'm not drunk..." Wang Chao replied before taking a step.
"Bang."
It didn't matter if he didn't walk; once he did, Wang Chao completely collapsed.
