Free Web NovelChapter 141: Chapter 141: Mu Tangfeng Arrives at Yaoxing
On his way to Yaoxing aboard a spaceship, Mu Tangfeng sneezed. He had just woken up, his expression still drowsy as he stared blankly at the planets in space outside his window.
His fingers unconsciously tapped open his chip, and he found himself on the messages page. When he saw a red notification dot, his bleary eyes brightened slightly. He thought it was a message from Shi Lan, but a glance revealed that his friend Jiang Xia had published a new post.
’A post? How is he able to post anything?’
Mu Tangfeng’s foggy mind cleared in an instant. He tapped on it and saw the two lines of text Jiang Xia had written, along with a photo of them together. Fury flashed in his eyes as he muttered sourly, "Heh. Good for you, looking all happy."
With that, he furiously sent a message to curse out Jiang Xia, calling him an idiot. How could he make a post like that at a time like this?
’Anyone with eyes could tell they’d left the prison.’
When Jiang Xia saw his message, he felt instantly smug. ’They’d never guess that this post is only visible to the few of them.’
He immediately took a screenshot of the post’s privacy settings and sent it to Mu Tangfeng, adding proudly, [What’s there to be afraid of? Only you guys and Lanlan can see it.]
Mu Tangfeng grew even angrier upon reading that. [Huh? What do you mean? Are you doing this just to piss us off?] ƒreewebɳovel.com
Jiang Xia felt no guilt whatsoever. [What are you talking about? I didn’t post it for you guys. I posted it for Lanlan.]
[Anyway, I’m done talking to you. Lanlan is making the bed for me.]
Mu Tangfeng glanced at the time. It was just past eight in the evening.
’Sleep, my ass. Back in prison, he’d still be in his cell at eleven or twelve at night, playing with a ball of yarn.’
’He’s just trying to piss me off and show off what Lanlan is doing for him.’
Mu Tangfeng gritted his teeth in fury, his hand gripping the spaceship’s armrest. He accidentally applied too much force, and the metal armrest casually crumpled in his grasp.
A nearby flight attendant gasped. Realizing this male had a bad temper, he specifically went to fetch the female attendant, who was specially employed on the ship for just such contingencies.
Generally, no matter how ill-tempered a male was, he was expected to show a female some courtesy.
Of course, to prevent the male from getting violent, two other attendants stood behind the female like bodyguards.
The female attendant walked over to Mu Tangfeng’s seat. When she saw his face, her eyes revealed a flash of awe, and her voice unconsciously softened. "Is there anything we can help you with, sir?"
Mu Tangfeng lazily lifted his eyelids and shot her an impatient glance. "No. Go away. The three of you are blocking my light."
The two male attendants behind her grew secretly anxious. ’We’ve got a tough one. This male won’t even give a female the time of day.’
The female attendant felt that she had lost face. Even though this was the first-class cabin with only five or six males present, her cheeks still burned with humiliation, and her expression soured.
But she was earning a high salary, and she’d been mentally prepared for this kind of treatment. She reined in her temper, but her tone did a complete one-eighty, becoming stiffly formal. "Very well, sir. We can leave you alone, but as you have damaged the ship’s property, you will need to provide the corresponding compensation."
As she spoke, her gaze landed on the armrest.
Mu Tangfeng frowned, his gaze shifting to one of the male attendants behind the female. "You, come here. And get this female away from me."
"Yes, yes. Sir, please calm down."
The young attendant couldn’t sense the specific Level of the man’s spiritual power, and he was terrified the man might cause a scene on the ship. His attitude became as deferential as humanly possible.
He was even bracing himself to get hit and file for injury compensation. But instead, the man asked for the compensation amount and promptly transferred the funds. He didn’t get violent, just snapped irritably, "I’ve paid for this armrest now, so it’s mine to crush as I please. Now, scram. Don’t bother me."
"Yes, yes."
The young attendant nodded repeatedly and discreetly backed away. ’It doesn’t matter, as long as the compensation is paid. Besides, being a flight attendant is a high-risk job. You’re bound to get beaten up a few times a day. But this male didn’t even lay a finger on me.’
The young attendant breathed a sigh of relief, yet amid his relief, he felt a strange tinge of disappointment.
’The injury compensation is pretty lucrative. At most, it’s a little pain and a few hours in a Treatment Pod...’
After shooing them away, Mu Tangfeng lost the desire to mangle the armrest any further. Instead, he just kept asking the flight crew how long until they arrived at Yaoxing.
He asked almost every ten minutes.
The young attendant didn’t dare ignore him. As he watched Mu Tangfeng’s face grow darker and more sullen, his own voice became quieter.
Thankfully, after an agonizing hour, the spaceship finally landed on Yaoxing.
As he disembarked, Mu Tangfeng decided the attendant’s service had been fairly attentive after all and tipped him 10,000 on a whim.
Most males on the ship were extremely stingy; an attendant might not even make 1,000 in tips over a whole week. And today, he had received 10,000 in one go.
The young attendant gazed at the tip—enough to cover half a month’s salary—and watched his personal god of wealth depart.
After stepping off the spaceship, Mu Tangfeng shivered from the cold.
The nights on Yaoxing were quite cold. Fortunately, Lanlan had bought him a dark red jacket.
He pulled it out and slipped it on. It was a thin jacket, and he only had a short-sleeved shirt on underneath, so he was still cold, but it was much better.
After putting on the jacket, Mu Tangfeng scanned his surroundings, a look of clear confusion in his eyes.
The spaceship’s docking point was deserted. At this time of night, no one was boarding or disembarking. He looked up, but there weren’t any Hovercars passing by, and he had no idea how to get to Shi Lan’s house. freёweɓnovel.com
He hesitated for a moment before starting to walk. After a while, he still hadn’t seen a single person or vehicle. Deciding this was too much trouble and a waste of time, he simply spread his wings, activated the navigation on his chip, and flew directly toward Shi Lan’s home.
Mu Tangfeng’s flight speed was comparable to the local trains.
And so, just over forty minutes later, he followed the navigation right to Shi Lan’s front door, where he folded his wings and landed.
Mu Tangfeng glanced at the surrounding houses. In Chang’an Village at night, very few homes had their lights on. There was only a single, faint night light by Shi Lan’s door.
He checked his navigation again, then looked at the front door. Unable to find a doorbell, he knocked.
"Lanlan? Are you there?"
On the second floor, Shi Lan had just gotten into bed. Before she could turn off the lights, she faintly heard someone call her name.
Shi Lan held her breath to listen, but the sound was gone.
Just as she was thinking she had imagined it and was about to close her eyes, a figure suddenly appeared outside her window, hovering in place with a gentle beat of its wings.
Shi Lan was so startled she almost screamed, but luckily, Mu Tangfeng spoke from outside the window. "Lanlan, it’s me."
Shi Lan recognized the familiar voice and got out of bed in astonishment.
’So I wasn’t hearing things after all.’
She opened the window and gazed at him in confusion. "How did you fly all the way here?"
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but stare. In the faint light, Mu Tangfeng’s broad wings seemed to be bathed in a soft halo, making him look like a deity descended from the heavens—sacred and beautiful.
’Humanoid wings... so cool...’
