Main Text Chapter 331 Chatting with the Blind Sister【7 more】
【Welcome back to the myriad worlds!】
The system notification tone flashed, and Xiao Feng appeared in Xiao Zhai.
"Big Brother Xiao Feng, you're here."
Mang Mei happened to be in Xiao Zhai as well; seeing him come online, she greeted him.
"Hmm."
Xiao Feng had just encountered an assassination attempt, and his mood was somewhat complicated.
Upon hearing Mang Mei's greeting, he merely gave a faint reply.
"What's wrong, did something unhappy happen?" Mang Mei saw his low spirits and asked concernedly.
"Ah, it's nothing, you don't need to worry about me, go play by yourself." Xiao Feng replied.
"This..."
Mang Mei's brows furrowed slightly, wearing a puzzled expression.
In her impression, Xiao Feng had never been like this before.
Coincidentally, Zhang Fan and Li Li also came online, so she privately messaged to ask.
The two of them said nothing, only replying "Nothing's wrong," which made her even more puzzled.
Mang Mei was not originally someone who liked to meddle or gossip, but she felt Xiao Feng had given her many things, considering him her benefactor.
Seeing her benefactor like this, she couldn't help but want to show concern.
"Big Brother Xiao Feng, could it be that you were retaliated against in Xian Xia?" She thought for a long time and came up with that possibility.
In the game, Xiao Feng was full of vigor and unstoppable momentum; consequently, he also struck it rich in the real world, living a good life.
In such a situation, the only things that could bring his spirits down were either a sudden mishap befalling a close relative nearby, or real-world conflicts stemming from game grudges.
Besides that, she could think of no other possibility.
"Big Brother Xiao Feng, are you alright? Any injuries?" Mang Mei asked concernedly.
Seeing her repeatedly show concern, Xiao Feng also felt it wouldn't be right to keep ignoring her.
He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just encountered something odd, feeling weird."
To be honest, he didn't think being assassinated was that outrageous.
Because he was overly powerful in the game, he had already affected many people's interests.
The top-tier forces in the game also wield influence in the real world.
Although assassination is brutal, it's not impossible!
He merely felt that rising from an ordinary person to this position in such a short time was hard to accept.
The contrast was too great; he couldn't adapt quickly.
"As long as you're unharmed..."
Mang Mei walked over and sat beside him.
, comforting: "Those who stand out attract trouble; troubles will indeed increase a bit. If you don't want trouble, you can be a bit more low-key in the future. Anyway, you've already gained great benefits, your level is maxed, no need to fight for anything. If you want to fight, after you cultivate to become a demi-god, go to Shen Jie, then play with those other civilizations; no matter how you bully them, they won't be able to retaliate."
"That's how it's said, but others may not necessarily let me off so easily. I always feel the other side will come again." Xiao Feng said.
This time the opponent didn't succeed; although the reason is somewhat absurd, his intuition tells him the matter isn't over.
Invincible Under Heaven will surely strike again, and it won't be long!
"When soldiers come, generals block them; when water comes, earth dams it. I believe Big Brother Xiao Feng, a righteous person will have divine favor, nothing will happen to you!" Mang Mei affirmed.
"Why do you seem to have special confidence in me?" Xiao Feng wondered.
Mang Mei gave a light smile and replied, "Because you're a good person; good people receive good rewards."
Xiao Feng was speechless, shaking his head: "Those who kill and set fires wear golden belts; those who build bridges and repair roads leave no corpses. Good people aren't necessarily rewarded; only sufficient strength can solve all troubles."
"Then you... aren't you already very strong?" Mang Mei asked.
Xiao Feng gave a self-deprecating laugh, "In the game maybe, but in reality I'm still far behind."
"Just the same, someone like you will definitely keep getting stronger in reality too!"
"Um... maybe." Xiao Feng gave a noncommittal response.
"Come on!" Mang Mei cheered him on.
"Thanks." Xiao Feng thanked her.
The two sat side by side, enjoying the unique tranquility of the game.
Xiao Feng turned his head to look at the person beside him.
Mang Mei's eyes looked a bit vacant; although visible in the game, due to her own habits, she still retained some blind person's traits.
However, her positive, upward-looking trait made people feel very comfortable.
This demeanor was even more charming than her beautiful face and fiery figure!
"Mang Mei, may I ask you a rather bold question?"
Xiao Feng suddenly said.
"What question?" She looked over.
Xiao Feng said: "You... before the game started, what work did you do?"
He had this question buried in his mind for a while.
It was rare that Mang Mei was willing to talk, and sitting with him chatting, he wanted to ask.
"Work? I don't have a job, you know... I'm a blind person in reality." Mang Mei replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"Like that...
..."
Xiao Feng doubted, saying: "Then you... how could you teach Dai Ni Si massage? I thought..."
"Oh, this."
Mang Mei heard the words, smiled, and replied: "That was taught to me by my grandmother. She worried that when she got old there would be no one to take care of me, and also feared I couldn't support myself, so she taught me some ways to make a living. Besides massage, I can also play the erhu, and I can cook... uh, although it's not very tasty."
"So you're just in the learning stage and haven't practiced yet?" Xiao Feng suddenly realized.
"Hmm. Now I've earned money in the game, so I don't need to work a part-time job anymore." Mang Mei smiled, "I also have to thank you, Brother Xiao Feng; if it weren't for you bringing me along, I couldn't be as capable as I am now, earning so much money!"
"Hmm, heh~"
Xiao Feng smiled upon hearing that, and his mood suddenly became much more relaxed.
"By the way, you live with your grandmother, then what about your parents?" He thought of a question and asked again.
Mang Mei said: "Since I can remember, I've lived with my grandmother. My biological father despised my congenital disability, abandoned the family shortly after my birth and went elsewhere. My mother brought me back to her natal home, but with no source of income and postpartum psychological issues, she soon swallowed pills and died. If it weren't for my grandmother, I would have died long ago."
While she spoke of this heavy topic, her tone was light, as if she didn't care at all.
Xiao Feng hadn't expected that besides her blindness, she also had such a tragic background; he couldn't help but feel ever more sympathy for her.
He praised in a sentence: "Your grandmother is truly great."
"Hmm, yes. She raised me, educated me, taught me many things. Although our family's conditions aren't great, I have everything other kids have. All this is thanks to my grandmother; now that I can earn money, I must repay her properly!" Mang Mei said with a smile.
"Your grandmother is probably quite old too; you should rest more. If life over there is inconvenient for you, you can come stay with me; I've hired a nursing sister at home who is quite good at taking care of people." Xiao Feng said.
"Thank you, we'll consider it if the opportunity arises." Mang Mei nodded, politely refusing.
Obviously she didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Feng.
"Hmm, okay." Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then didn't say anything else.
His own current situation is also somewhat complicated; he might possibly face another assassination attempt.
If Mang Mei moved in to live with him, it would actually be dangerous, possibly implicating him.
Since she's unwilling, let it be.
Anyway, everyone has their own lives, so there's no need to interfere too much.
If there's ever a real need, offering help then wouldn't be too late!
