Chapter 270: with translation of chapter title

Main text Chapter 270: Good brothers share hardship

Xiao Feng opened his eyes to find himself lying on a large bed, surrounded by luxurious interior décor.

This was his newly bought villa; he had moved in less than a day ago.

Outside, the sky had darkened; it had just become night.

A scent of food wafted over; he didn't know who was cooking.

His stomach growled; he was famished.

Xiao Feng got up and left the room, hearing the clatter of kitchenware coming from downstairs.

Going downstairs, he saw the hall tidy; his two good brothers weren't there, likely in their own rooms.

There was sound from the kitchen; he recalled Li Li mentioning that Manager Shen had hired a 'maid sister' for him.

So he walked over to take a look.

In the kitchen, a young girl in a maid outfit was seriously cooking; several utensils were working at once—some steaming, some stewing, some stir-frying.

"Are you... Boss Xiao?"

Hearing Xiao Feng's footsteps, she turned her head, glanced at him, and asked with a smile.

Xiao Feng nodded, "Yeah, surname Xiao given name Feng; just call me by my name."

This maid sister was indeed pretty—oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, vermilion lips and peach-blossom eyes, graceful and dignified, fresh and generous. Though dressed like a maid, her bearing didn't resemble a servant's; she seemed more like a young lady.

"Good boss! I'm Su Ni; you can call me Xiao Su or Su Ni."

"The dinner stew is ready; if you're hungry, have a bowl of soup first~"

"Today we're stewing lotus-seed pork heart soup; you guys use your brains playing games, so it can nourish you!"

The maid sister said, quite enthusiastic.

While speaking, she temporarily set aside her work and used a small bowl to ladle soup for Xiao Feng.

The stew in the clay pot had an extremely rich aroma.

The moment the lid was lifted, the wafting aroma made Xiao Feng's hunger pangs stir completely.

"Thanks."

He wasn't polite, sat down nearby at the table, and began to enjoy the thick soup Su Ni had carefully cooked.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao~"

Footsteps came from outside.

Zhang Fan and Li Li had gone offline, came downstairs to find him, and asked doubtfully, "You suddenly called us down… uh, was it to call us for dinner?"

The two were originally a bit worried that Xiao Feng might have encountered something.

But upon going downstairs and looking into the kitchen,

the scene, they smelled the rich aroma of the food and suddenly realized.

"Yeah, come over and eat together." Xiao Feng didn't explain right away.

"Wow! It's so fragrant!"

"Sis Su is awesome, Old Xiao, you're really blessed!"

"We get to share in the blessing too!"

The two let out a strange cry, flattered him, ran into the kitchen, and each made themselves a bowl of soup to drink.

The three sat together, enjoying the delicacies.

Steam rose from the table, as if in a mist.

Zhang Fan drank half a bowl and sighed, "Ah, this is the life~"

All day they'd been playing games; even offline someone waited on them for food and drink—it was like a dream, something they'd never dared imagine before.

Su Ni was still carefully cooking; seeing the three had started eating, she brought over the prepared dishes.

"Thanks, Sister Su Ni~"

The two freeloaders gave the maid sister a fawning look.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, when are you two planning to buy a house?" he asked offhand.

"Uh…"

Li Li's motion of sipping soup and picking vegetables froze; he stared, "Old Xiao, is this… because you saw the pretty maid sister, you find us lightbulbs annoying and want to kick us out?"

Zhang Fan had the same thought, quickly saying, "Don't worry, Old Xiao, we're not that kind of people! As the saying goes, a friend's wife must not be offended; no matter what status the women in your household have, we won't pay them any attention. If you don't believe me, I can have Old Li castrated to prove his innocence!"

"Holy shit, castrating him would be about right!" Li Li retorted angrily.

Xiao Feng shook his head, "Not that—I mean… I might have stirred up some trouble lately; if you stay with me, you could be in danger."

The threat of "Under Heaven No Double" still had some effect; he now worried someone might come for revenge and drag his two brothers into it.

"Huh… what do you mean, stirred up trouble?" Zhang Fan frowned at the words, "You mean the trouble from the game, brought to Xian Xia like that?"

Over the past day plus, they'd done nothing but play games; it couldn't possibly be the guy fired when they bought the house coming to retaliate against them, could it?

In the game… Xiao Feng really does have a few enemies!

"Is it people from Under Heaven?" Li Li guessed.

"Yeah."

Xiao Feng nodded, not hiding anything, and told the two, "I just"

"just killed Under Heaven No Double and sent him back to the newbie village."

"What?"

"Sent him back to the newbie village!"

"Holy shit, that's ruthless!"

Both let out cries of alarm; the commotion was so great that even Su Ni, who was cooking in the kitchen, was startled.

In the game, fighting and killing is normal, but killing someone and sending them back to the newbie village is probably something never seen since the server launched!

After all, a killed person revives instantly near the Teleportation Array; if you react quickly enough, you can just teleport to another Chengshi.

Unless there are enough people to surround all the Teleportation Arrays, it's impossible to kill someone so badly that they get sent back to the village.

Even if one had that ability, the cost would be too great; in the short time since the server launched, where would there be such deep hatred to make someone spare no expense?

But… Xiao Feng actually did that!

And he even succeeded!

Both of their faces changed.

Li Li asked, 'So you're worried that the peerless under heaven will take revenge offline?'

Xiao Feng nodded and said, 'He said he wants me to disappear and also take revenge on my family. Although controls are strict now and there are hardly any evil forces, I worry he'll be driven to desperation and spare no expense to get me.'

Nowadays, incidents of murder and assault are rare.

But they're not completely nonexistent!

Legal punishment often lags behind the harm; nobody wants to end up in the news!

Zhang Fan furrowed his brows and said to Xiao Feng, 'Are you still letting us leave? As brothers, we definitely have to face this together! Whether he dares to come or not, even if he does show up, at most he'll bring a few bodyguards and thugs. Our side can also round up some people; when the time comes we'll fight them, and it's not certain who will die!'

Xiao Feng said helplessly, 'Yeah, I also thought about hiring bodyguards for protection, but I'm worried that if things get serious, I don't want to implicate you.'

Ordinary thugs can be dealt with, but if the opponent goes crazy and brings guns and explosives, then we're surely done for.

'What nonsense!' Li Li slammed the table, displeased, 'Good brothers share weal and woe; you've helped us gain all sorts of benefits, a one-stop service for getting rich and upgrading, and now we've run off—what's the difference between us and white-eyed wolves?'

Young people are hot-blooded and impulsive; when their heads get hot, a single 'righteousness' matters more than anything.

Xiao Feng saw that they both meant that, and said helplessly, 'Fine, I won't drive you off. I'll first contact Manager Shen to make a connection and hire some bodyguards.'

'How would a few be enough? At least dozens are needed! You're not short on money now—safety is the most important!' Li Li said solemnly.
