Chapter 317 So, I Made My Move
Meanwhile, a small group of fools sitting around the corner bar were unaware that they had attracted the attention of outsiders and continued to drink dandelion wine bottle by bottle.
It seems this group of fools was in a bad mood, drinking one cup of wine after another, and soon became completely drunk.
As the alcohol took effect, the group began to pour out their grievances, not to mention that the Kingdom of Winter doesn't believe in tears, but instead launched into a tirade of complaints about everything from Dotole to Arecino.
As the saying goes, the best way to get closer to someone is to eat and drink together and even share crickets with them.
In the end, the group even developed a sense of mutual respect and were almost ready to become sworn brothers on the spot.
It seemed that the team leader, who was in charge of debt settlement, still had a shred of rationality. He cautiously scanned his surroundings and, relying on his superior's authority, forced the conversation to stop.
"Alright! You've all had too much to drink today! Go back to your rooms immediately, get some rest for the night, and come back with me tomorrow to report!"
The drunken crowd was too weak to refute, offering only a few scattered replies, and some even immediately fell asleep.
Then, the sound from that side faded away and could no longer be heard.
Seeing this, Mu Feng withdrew his gaze. Judging from the few words these people spoke, they should be the doctor's subordinates.
The other party mentioned the fireplace house several times in their speech. Could this be related to the harsh winter plan that Zhi Dong is currently promoting?
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. In the instant he brushed past the other party, a wisp of wind element silently attached itself to the drunken Fools and then disappeared without a trace.
That's good enough. The wind will bring more news.
The operation went quite smoothly, and Mu Feng was very satisfied. However, the problem was that someone was too focused on the actions of the Fools and had obviously forgotten that there was a girl beside him with an increasingly resentful expression.
"Hey, why have you been so distracted since just now? I'm telling you, it's really rude to talk to a big star like that."
Finally, Funina, who had reached her limit, lost her temper. She put her hands on her hips and her lips turned down slightly, clearly in a bad mood.
Finally, after waiting for the Meilushin girls to go to the small stalls to choose gifts, they had some precious time alone, but who knew that Mufeng would be as unresponsive as a block of wood.
Is the allure of Furness de Fontaine, the Water Demon, a Fontaine superstar, and a renowned connoisseur of desserts, really less captivating than that of a group of drunken fools?
The girl's cheeks puffed out slightly, her arms crossed over her chest, and her heterochromatic blue eyes, one light and one dark, reflected a dangerous light.
Hmph, if she doesn't get a satisfactory answer today, she'll... she'll... yes, she'll go back and report to Navelette that someone bullied Melusin in Sumeru! That's it!
Seeing the girl's threatening expression, which was practically written all over her face as if she wanted to settle a personal score, Mu Feng had a bad feeling.
Oh no! I was so focused on keeping an eye on that group of fools that I forgot Fou's jealousy could easily get out of control.
Although she had to maintain the image of a water goddess on the surface and not show her emotional changes too obviously, if she really got angry... it didn't seem like anything would really happen.
Mu Feng gave an awkward smile and gently poked Fu Ningna's shoulder. The girl turned her face away, gave a soft snort, and ignored him.
Having failed to appease her, Mu Feng was quite helpless and had no choice but to resort to the method of attacking Futt.
"Three small cakes, plus a special dessert from Sumeru."
Furina remained unmoved. She thought that three small cakes were enough to bribe the great God of Justice, Fúcaros de Fontaine? Hmph, even with the addition of Sumeru's special desserts... it wouldn't work.
"Five dollars."
Funina's expression wavered slightly. You're going to test the Water God with this? Which Water God can't withstand such a test?
"Ten dollars."
Furnessa's expression began to soften, but then again, ten small cakes... cough cough, what she meant was that the great God of Justice should be a little more generous...
"twenty."
Funina beamed with joy. This gentleman had won her over with his emotions, and she reluctantly forgave him this time.
The girl coughed lightly twice, placed her hand in Mu Feng's hand, and said, "Rejoice, God of Justice Fucarus, I pardon you!"
Not long after, the girls who had been picking out gifts at the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce stall returned in groups. Judging from their expressions, they seemed quite satisfied with the gifts they had just purchased.
Siegwen, Sedna, and Caroline quite naturally took Mu Feng's arm, leaving no gaps.
Funina pouted slightly, her mood, which had just been lifted by the little cake, couldn't help but become a bit gloomy again, but...
"I'm sorry, the hotel only has one room left."
The young hostel owner wore a formulaic smile, his hands calmly folded in front of his chest, his expression unchanged and his heart unmoved.
Those who frequently stay in Port Omos know that his hotel only has one room left.
Mu Feng's lips twitched slightly. "Why don't you look at the wall behind you covered in keys before you say that?"
The owner remained calm and smiling, explaining that those were spare keys and that guests could check in without worry.
In terms of the number of rooms, it can be summed up in two words: authoritative.
Mu Feng fell silent. Although it seemed that the other party might have misunderstood something, it also seemed that... there was no misunderstanding at all.
Damn it, what kind of inn only has one room left? I have to complain, I have to complain hard, I have to let the whole of Sumeru know that this inn is open 24 hours a day, and the address is...
The group went upstairs, but on the way they ran into a few seemingly dazed Fools, who passed by in a flash.
"Hey, did you see that? Could it be..."
One of the debt collectors splashed cold water on his face, then suddenly paused, and nudged his colleague.
The other person impatiently stepped aside, but when they looked in the direction the other person was pointing, they were also slightly stunned for a moment.
The Melusin family of Fontaine? That seems to be the experimental sample that the "Doctor" hopes to obtain when researching Rhinedot.
However, due to the fact that Fontaine is the territory of the Fourth Hearth House, and the pressure from the Fontaine authorities, the project was shelved before it even began because it could not obtain experimental materials.
However, this group consisted of one frail-looking individual and another who seemed rather dim-witted; if given the chance to strike…
The two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
Look, what a great opportunity! A promotion and a raise are just around the corner. Zhi Dongguo doesn't believe in tears, so I made my move.
