Chapter 280: Chapter 187, This Person is Dead!_2

He felt Mr. Sheng was right—he had the best brother in the world.

After rummaging through the fridge, Tang Fei cooked Sheng Xinhua a steak, made a mixed fish hotpot, and also whipped up a vegetable soup.

"Little Fatty, are you still eating?" Tang Fei asked.

"I think I can eat a little more..." Little Fatty, seeing the dishes on the table and smelling the delicious aroma, said, "Just a little bit more..."

So, Tang Fei went back to the kitchen and made him a big plate of braised pork ribs.

After sobering up, Sheng Xinhua happy said, "Not bad, not bad, the wine hasn’t gone bad... It’s a good thing the temperature in the house is always constant and your place is set to be cooler; if it were summer, this wine probably wouldn’t be drinkable."

She acted like the hostess, taking the initiative to wash two wine glasses and then poured red wine for her and Tang Fei, saying, "Come, you try some too."

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng, for rushing over in the middle of the night to see us. Here’s a toast to you," Tang Fei said with a smile.

"To our health."

"To our health."

Clink!

Their glasses touched, emitting a crisp sound.

Then they drained the red wine in their glasses in one go.

Little Fatty raised his head from his bowl, looking aggrieved, "I don’t have a glass..."

"What kind of drink is a child supposed to have?" Sheng Xinhua chided, saying, "Hurry up and eat so you can go to bed."

"..."

After finishing a whole plate of braised pork ribs and a bowl of vegetable soup, Little Fatty let out a contented burp and said, "Big Brother, Mr. Sheng, you guys take your time eating... I’m going to take a shower and head to bed."

"Off you go, off you go, you’re growing, and early to bed and early to rise makes a body healthy," Sheng Xinhua said, waving her hand.

She truly was starving. After scarfing down the steak, she began tackling the deliciously pan-fried Spanish mackerel, saying, "Tang Fei, you’re amazing... This cooking skill... Much better than my mom’s..."

"Take your time eating, no rushing," Tang Fei said with a laugh, "Don’t choke yourself."

"You Cultivators, it’s hard for you to understand what it’s like for us ordinary people to feel hungry..." After polishing off the fish, Sheng Xinhua picked up her wine glass and said, "On the way here, I felt like I could eat a whole cow. After finishing the steak, my stomach feels like it can’t fit any more..."

"If you’re full, then don’t eat anymore," Tang Fei said, clinking glasses with her, "Drink more wine, finish the wine."

"That won’t do, such delicious food would be wasted if not eaten," Sheng Xinhua shook her head, saying, "Tang Fei, I didn’t expect you to have this skill. Very good, very good... When you were in the Old Land, did you always cook delicious food for Xiu Xue?"

"The Old Land didn’t have such conditions," Tang Fei shook his head, saying, "I could only feed her red-eyed rabbits, three-headed mountain goats, two-legged snakes, and roasted field mice as big as cats and dogs..."

Sheng Xinhua’s eyes lit up, saying, "I haven’t tried any of the things you’ve mentioned, I’d love to join you on a trip back to the Old Land."

"..."

This woman, she really dared to do anything.

People from the Old Land were desperately trying to escape, yet here she was, wanting to go there and experience life.

Tang Fei nodded, saying, "No problem, when I have the ability to protect you all..."

When he became a Great Grandmaster, he could go anywhere.

Not to mention returning to the Old Land, even if they asked him to...

That really wasn’t possible.

Sheng Xinhua was incredibly pleased when she heard this and said, "Then it’s decided, Phoenix and I will accompany you back... Come on, drink up. You didn’t finish your last glass. Feeding the fish?"

"..."

------

Sheng Xinhua was drunk.

A person who didn’t understand cultivation, she actually challenged Tang Fei to a drinking contest, and the result was that she herself ended up completely unconscious.

Sheng Xinhua was dozing off on the couch, and due to the heat from drinking too much, at some point she unbuttoned two buttons of her white silk blouse, revealing a vast expanse of her fair skin to Tang Fei’s gaze.

Suddenly, Tang Fei felt his body heating up as well.

He went over and lowered the room temperature a bit, then found a blanket to cover Sheng Xinhua, and headed upstairs to take a shower.

A cold shower was in order.

After the shower and changing into clean pajamas, Tang Fei lay down on his own big bed, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Comfort at last," Tang Fei murmured contentedly.

Tang Fei closed his eyes intending to sleep, but found himself tossing and turning, restlessly.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of that white...

Bah, bah, bah, what he thought of was Sheng Xinhua, who was sleeping on the couch.

After hesitating for a moment, he still got out of bed, walked downstairs, and picked up Sheng Xinhua from the couch...

Hearing the noise from outside, Little Fatty, whose nerves had been on edge all evening, burst out of his room.

Seeing Tang Fei about to carry Sheng Xinhua upstairs, Little Fatty’s eyes widened, his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something...

After a moment of stupefaction, he said, "Bro, are you taking Mr. Sheng to sleep?"

"Um..." Tang Fei nodded.

He also felt that this scene was a bit awkward and that he should say something.

"You should go to sleep too, we’re going to bed..."

"Bro, take it slow... don’t drop him."

"..."

--------

When Xin Huai opened her eyes, her head was still groggy.

She looked around and realized she was in an unfamiliar large bed.

She immediately threw back the covers to check her chest, her clothes were still on, though a few buttons on her shirt were undone.

She reached down and was relieved.

Her underwear and her chastity were intact.

Xin Huai got out of bed and noticed the room was filled with men’s items. She opened the wardrobe to find all of Tang Fei’s clothes.

Clearly, this was Tang Fei’s room.

She washed up in the bathroom, then padded downstairs barefoot.

Tang Fei was in the kitchen making breakfast. Seeing Xin Huai come downstairs, he smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Sheng."

"Morning."

"Wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon."

"I’m not hungry..." Xin Huai folded her arms and stood behind, observing Tang Fei at work, and asked, "Did I sleep in your room last night?"

"Yes." Tang Fei nodded and said, "I was worried you would catch a cold sleeping on the couch, and it wouldn’t be good if you bumped or fell... so I carried you to my room to sleep."

"You don’t have a guest room in such a big house?"

"We do, but it’s not been cleaned, and there are no blankets..." Tang Fei explained, "There are only two sets of bedding in the house..."

He and Little Fatty had no relatives or friends on New Star.

Phoenix wouldn’t stay over at this place.

So when they moved in, they only sorted out two rooms, leaving the rest unused.

"You really are frugal," Xin Huai remarked with a crooked smile, "Did you carry me upstairs?"

"Yes. You were already drunk at the time, couldn’t even walk... Don’t worry, I slept on the couch..."

"How did it feel?" Xin Huai asked.

"Feel? What feel?"

"The feeling of carrying me..." Xin Huai asked with narrowed eyes and a teasing smile, "Was it soft?"

"..."

During the meal, Little Fatty kept glancing at Tang Fei and then surveying Xin Huai, his gaze sweeping back and forth between their faces.

Xin Huai looked at Little Fatty and asked, "Do you think I slept with your brother?"

"Pfft..."

Little Fatty sprayed out the noodles from his mouth, quickly wiping his clothes with a napkin.

His face turned so red he could have choked, desperately waving his hands and saying, "No, no, I didn’t see anything..."

Because Phoenix had notified the authorities in advance, the "break-in theft case" was processed at an alarmingly fast pace.

Just after Tang Fei and Little Fatty had tidied up the house, the police came to visit.

Zhao Youguang brought over the DNA results of the thief and said, "This person is named Lin Yong, from the City of Joy... orphaned at four years old..."

"What does he do for a living?" Tang Fei asked.

"He joined the Undying Army and became a soldier of the Empire," Zhao Youguang said without underestimating him because of his age.

After all, it was a case closely followed by the police chief.

The chief had said to give the job their full attention and not to cause any trouble...

The chief was usually a source of trouble for others, and if even he feared trouble, it meant mishandling this case would indeed be very troublesome.

"A soldier?" Tang Fei asked in surprise.

"Yes, a soldier from the Undying Army. The weirdest thing is, this person died seven years ago... we found his death record in the system..."

"Died?" Tang Fei frowned and asked, "Did you inquire with the military about what’s going on?"

Zhao Youguang grimaced and said, "We don’t dare to... we don’t have the authority to investigate the military..."
