Landlord in the Arctic

Chapter 348: Chapter 271: Slept

The party was still lively well into its second half.

However, the older folks, having limited energy, had begun to leave one by one.

The only ones left at the party were the energetic young people, still in the full swing of having fun.

By now, Feng Mountain had lost all the enthusiasm he’d had while dancing. He was slumped lazily in his chair like a deflated balloon.

Just then, a female employee approached with a bright smile, her expression a mixture of shyness and eager anticipation as she asked him to dance.

But Feng Mountain simply gave a slight wave of his hand, a trace of exhaustion on his face.

"Sorry, I really can’t dance anymore. You could ask Yves and the others."

With that, he picked up a beer from the table, tilted his head back, and began to drink it down in big gulps.

Things had changed after he finished dancing with Tammy.

The women were like a pack of cats that had caught the scent of fish, swarming him in an instant, with Erica leading the charge.

At first, it was normal enough. They all danced together, and Feng Mountain thought it was pretty fun, laughing and chatting with them to the rhythm of the music. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

But as the party progressed, the alcohol began to work its magic on the women. They grew bolder and bolder, and fueled by the liquor, they completely lost their usual restraint and relentlessly pressed themselves against Feng Mountain.

Some of the women directly linked their arms with his, their bodies pressed up tight, whispering suggestive things in flirtatious tones.

Others tried to wrap their arms around his neck, their warm breath washing over his face.

It made Feng Mountain rather uncomfortable, but he couldn’t bring himself to push them away. He could only smile helplessly while doing his best to keep some distance.

Eventually, the party’s atmosphere became so heated it was on the verge of spinning out of control.

The women then directly invited him for a "game of poker." Feng Mountain knew exactly what that meant, so he immediately used the excuse of needing the bathroom to escape the party.

On the way back, Snow recalled the disappointed looks on the women’s faces after Feng Mountain rejected them and couldn’t help but ask.

"Feng, why did you turn them down? You’ll hurt their feelings."

"If I don’t break their hearts, they’ll break my body. Between the two, I choose to protect my body," Feng Mountain deflected with a teasing tone, patting himself down dramatically as if he were genuinely afraid of some impending danger.

In reality, Feng Mountain knew what the women were thinking. ’I just have no idea how to handle this kind of situation,’ he thought, ’so all I can do is joke about it to brush it off.’

「Back at the log cabin.」

He first got Snow settled into the guest room.

Afterward, Feng Mountain went to the backyard and soaked in the hot spring for a while. Under the rising steam, the drunkenness began to set in.

After all, he had mixed far too many drinks at the party—baijiu, western liquor, beer, and cocktails. He’d had a taste of nearly everything. Now the alcohol was hitting him hard. Feng Mountain stumbled into his room, dazed, and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.

「That night.」

Feng Mountain slept exceptionally well.

He felt as if he had sunk into an incredibly pleasant, gentle paradise. freewebnøvel.coɱ

It was as if he had returned to his time with Ms. Hong, tumbling with her from the head of the bed to the foot. In the dream, Ms. Hong even went to the trouble of changing into several different outfits.

It was so realistic that Feng Mountain began to doubt he was even dreaming.

「The next morning.」

Feng Mountain groggily opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and only came to his senses after a few moments.

Once he was fully awake, he subconsciously glanced at his bed, only to see the sheets were perfectly smooth.

The bed was tidily made, showing no sign that a second person had been there or that any... activity had taken place.

But the sensations in his body wouldn’t lie.

He felt a peculiar sort of exhaustion, one different from how he usually felt after waking up. As he recalled his lifelike dream from the night before, he grew more and more certain. ’Someone was definitely here last night.’

’And they took advantage of me being drunk and slept with me.’

Feng Mountain’s brow furrowed as he silently wondered, ’Who could have been so bold?’

’Jenny?’

’She’s not that type. If she wanted something, she’d ask for it outright.’

’Could it be Erica and Demi? They’re the only ones brazen enough.’

’As for Maria and Tammy, it’s unlikely.’

After getting dressed, he went down to the living room on the first floor.

Snow was adding wood to the fireplace. Hearing a noise behind him, he turned to see Feng Mountain and broke into a smile. "Morning!"

"Hey man, did you hear anything last night?" Feng Mountain asked cautiously.

’Besides me, Snow was the only other person in the cabin last night. If my room on the second floor made any noise, he definitely would have heard it.’

’Noise?’

Snow paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Sorry, I fell asleep the moment I hit the bed and just woke up. I didn’t hear anything. What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing," Feng Mountain said, waving his hand dismissively.

’Looks like I’ll just have to suffer this one in silence,’ he thought.

’How humiliating would it be if this got out? A grown man getting taken advantage of while drunk... If word spread, everyone in the camp would laugh him to death.’

With this in mind, Feng Mountain decided to investigate secretly. Just then, he saw Snow pull a camera out of his luggage bag and asked curiously.

"You need to take pictures of the Crown Territory?"

Snow nodded. "That’s right. It’s part of the environmental audit. The Crown Territory is excellent, but we still have to go through the proper procedures."

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to get some breakfast first, then I’ll take you for a tour on the snowmobile," Feng Mountain said with a nod, grabbing a fur coat from the sofa and putting it on.

Snow, for his part, was wearing a fur coat lent to him by the Bear Tribe.

The two men left the log cabin.

Nourished by the Fire Seed for over a month, the fruit trees planted around the camp were already covered in leaves, looking full of life under the dim, yellow glow of the streetlights.

"Feng, this place of yours is amazing! For these trees to be growing so well during the polar night..." Snow reached out and plucked a leaf, gazing in astonishment at the lush fruit trees scattered all around.
