Chapter 37: This Setup Is Practically Serving An Xinghe a Triple Kill!
The carriage dropped An Xinghe and Lin Yan off at the gates of Gray Country, then turned back to report.
Unlike the heavily guarded patrols at Snow White's Dwarf Kingdom, Gray Country's gates stood wide open, looking as if anyone could come and go as they pleased!
To put it metaphorically, the gates of Dwarf Kingdom were like a girlfriend you'd only recently started dating. Getting inside would take some effort, and only by combining gentleness with force could you succeed!
But the gates of Gray Country were like the nymphomaniac heroine from Shui Longjing's stories. As long as you were human, you could get in!
And if you weren't human, that was actually acceptable too.
[Beep! Players An Xinghe and Lin Yan have arrived at Gray Country. Quest progress updated.] [Beep! Quest hint! Only someone equipped with Protagonist Halo can possibly obtain Cinderella's Glass Slipper!]
The two entered the city and found it bustling with people coming and going.
Lin Yan casually found a young girl in the city, put on what he thought was a handsome smile, and asked:
"Missy, could big brother ask you a few questions?"
"Smack!"
The little girl slapped Lin Yan across the face:
"Who are you calling Missy? I'm only eight! Mommy said I can't talk to strange uncles, especially strange, ugly uncles!"
Lin Yan stood there motionless for a long time after that slap. An Xinghe thought it had knocked him stupid and stepped forward with concern.
"You really don't need to take it to heart..."
Unexpectedly, Lin Yan chuckled.
"Eight... She's already this tall at eight. Then at eighteen, wouldn't she be..."
"Smack!"
An Xinghe slapped Lin Yan across the face.
Lin Yan roared:
"What gives you the right to hit me?"
"Doing the people a service!"
"No f**king way!"
Seeing that he couldn't question this little girl, Lin Yan immediately shifted his gaze to the next one.
This one looked about twenty-two or twenty-three, probably still at the stage where she hadn't seen much of the world.
Lin Yan smoothed his hair and stepped forward.
"Beautiful lady, could I ask you something?"
The young woman sized Lin Yan up for a moment, then suddenly shouted:
"Help! Someone's trying to molest me!"
An Xinghe reacted quickly, shoving Lin Yan aside and stepping in front of the young woman himself.
Before he could say anything, she spoke first.
"Little brother, you don't look like a local. Is there something I can help you with? It's cold outside. Why don't you come to my house and tell me all about it?"
Live Stream.
[Isn't the difference in treatment way too huge?!]
[I want a Missy to invite me to her house the first time we meet too!]
[The guy above is dreaming!]
[If I were Lin Yan, I'd be crying myself unconscious in the bathroom by now!]
[If I were Lin Yan, I'd already be having a second helping in the bathroom!]
[If I were Lin Yan, I'd already be eating my second meal in the bathroom!]
[That's enough, guys! Lin Yan's already miserable enough, stop adding scenes for him!]
Even Lin Yan felt a little like he was having a heart attack from the wildly different treatment.
From now on, he absolutely could not enter dungeons alongside An Xinghe!
It was too torturous!
Naturally, An Xinghe didn't refuse Missy's invitation.
To put it bluntly, if Lin Yan weren't here, someone might even die tonight!
The two had nowhere to stay in Gray Country. Wasn't getting a free room at an inn the best deal ever?
On the way back, the young girl chattered into An Xinghe's ear.
"Little brother, my name's Katie. What's yours?"
"My name is Katie Lack—no, my name is An Xinghe!"
"An Xinghe... Our names go so well together! Could we have been lovers in our previous lives?"
Danmaku.
[I seriously don't understand how Katie and An Xinghe's names go together at all!]
[One's a Chinese name and the other's an English name. However you look at it, it's weird!]
[Missy Katie, wake up! Don't let your brain get clouded by lust!]
[I said that exact line to my Goddess before. I'm still her backup guy.]
[Missy Katie, you're way too direct with your flirting!]
[Is this what throwing yourself at someone looks like?! I want that too, damn it!!]
Since An Xinghe planned to stay at Katie's house for a few days, he naturally had to keep her company and chat with her.
He could also take the opportunity to ask about the situation.
"Katie, who else lives at your house?"
Katie answered:
"I have an older sister named Charlotte. And then there's my mother!"
"My father works away from home all year round and usually doesn't come back."
"And I have a younger sister, but... forget it. Let's not talk about her. She's not home right now anyway."
Lin Yan, walking behind the two, couldn't help sucking in a cold breath when he heard that!
Little girl, that means your family consists of one mother and two daughters—three women in total!
Isn't this setup practically serving An Xinghe a triple kill?!
Having witnessed how lethal An Xinghe was around women, Lin Yan felt utterly despairing about his future life.
He was probably going to be force-fed dog food until he burst again.
Chapter 38: Charlotte
Katie's house was fairly large.
But when he remembered that there were five people in Katie's family, the house suddenly seemed too small.
Katie led An Xinghe and Lin Yan to a small room. Inside was a tiny single bed.
Katie said:
"You two must be exhausted after traveling all the way to Gray Country. Unfortunately, this is the only spare bed left in my house, so we'll have to..."
Lin Yan hurriedly waved his hands. "It's fine, it's fine! The two of us grown men can squeeze together!"
Katie continued:
"So I'm afraid Mr. Lin Yan will have to stay here for one night. As for Mr. An, the bed in my room is quite large. It can easily fit two people..."
Live Stream.
[Miss Katie's speed of throwing herself at him has once again left me utterly dumbfounded!]
[I want to be handsome too!]
[Lin Yan thought he'd be treated equally, but instead he can only eat dust in this cramped little room while An Xinghe gets to eat milk in a beauty's arms.]
[Lin Yan shouldn't be in the room. He should be under the bed.]
[Missy Katie's shy expression is so cute...]
[Please, let An Xinghe's little brother rest for a while!]
Watching An Xinghe get invited by Katie, Lin Yan felt as if ten thousand Cao Nima beasts were stampeding through his heart!
Could you stop flaunting your romance in front of me?!
Suddenly, Lin Yan thought of a solution! It would mean wronging himself a little, but as long as he could get revenge on An Xinghe, the guy handing out dog food, it would be worth it!
He asked:
"Miss Katie, does your family have a sheep pen?"
"Huh? We do, but what do you want to do, Mr. Lin Yan? The little lambs in my family haven't developed yet at this hour. They can't handle that sort of thing."
Lin Yan hurriedly waved his hands.
"No, no, that's not what I meant! I mean, I'm not used to sleeping in beds. I'd sleep better on the straw in the sheep pen. You can leave this bed for An Xinghe!"
Katie hadn't expected anyone to make such a strange request. She asked for confirmation:
"Mr. Lin Yan, you really aren't trying to do that sort of thing? My little lambs really can't handle it!"
"Miss Katie! Please believe me! I just want to sleep in the sheep pen!"
Then An Xinghe wouldn't have anyone to feed dog food to anymore!
