“All right,” suddenly Luna said, flushing red to her ears, “let me cook something for all of us, I guess all of you are hungry now.”“Can you cook?” asked Tolly in surprise, “it’s unbelievable.”“You know, I’m the private maidservant of dear Fanta Miss, I mean your wife. I’ve been taking care of her for so long. Of course, I can cook.”“Luna has always been a good cook. She can cook various delicious food including braised pork, roast duck, steamed stuffed bun, and so on,” said Luna’s grandma happily.“That’s great!’ said Tolly excitedly while his mouth was watering. He rubbed his belly while it was rumbling loudly.“Well, I don’t have a lot of ingredients here. I think we’ll have a simple meal with what we have in the porcelain pot at the door.”With that, Luna went to the porcelain pot that stood at the door of the little cottage where ingredients were kept.Luna opened the porcelain pot and took out all the ingredients that were inside. Tolly found out there was some beef, eggplant
“Yeah, of course, it’s Peter Hazlitt,” said Tolly, tilting his head and showing one side of his face closer to Jenny with an intention for a kiss on it. Yet, Jenny ignored it.“How do you know it?” asked Jenny in surprise.“I went to investigate all the connections of Joseph. And I finally found out he had been to a hotel outside Fanta City often. The hotel is called ‘Happy Joy’.”“Oh?” said Jenny, “Happy Joy? I’ve never heard of it before.”“It’s a place where Joseph often met with his master. And I went to the hotel today. Do you know whom I saw there?”“Who?” asked Jenny.“Peter Hazlitt,” replied Tolly, “in the very beginning, I didn’t know he was Peter Hazlitt. Yet, I went into the hotel and eavesdropped on their conversation.”“What did you hear?” asked Jenny, eager to know more.“Hey, my dear wife,” said Tolly, “You know it was very dangerous for me to do that. If you want to know more, please give me a little credit, okay?”Tolly kept smiling at Jenny and suddenly discovered th
With that, Invisible Woman quickly punched him with one-hundredth of her strength. She was so powerful, but she didn’t want to hurt Tolly. All she did was train him hard.In a minute, all parts of his body were left bruised here and there. Tolly showed his courage because he did not yell because of the pain.Though he did not feel any good, the data on the screen comforted him very much. The more hit he received, the Exp points he gained. Not before long, he had already gained more than a thousand Exp points, which meant he could upgrade to a high level.“That’s enough,” shouted Tolly, “I think I’ll be beaten to death by you if you keep punching me this way.”“No, I’ll punch you more. In this way, you’ll make more progress,” smiled Invisible Woman.With that, Invisible Woman lunged at him again. She was so quick that she left quite a few bruises on his body again.“Are you really going to punch me to death?” complained Tolly, “I’ve already tried my best to train myself. I think you sh
Tolly had a sweet dream, in which he still kept practicing the Lotus Prod. He practiced and practiced. Finally, he found out he could even push down the whole wall with his prod. He smiled when the wall was down.Yet, it was just a dream. when he woke up lying in his bed, he only discovered the same old holes in the wall.‘Oh, it’s only a dream,” said Tolly, “but I do hope I can become the most powerful cultivator in this world. I have to find out the other secret manual hidden in those unknowable places. Then I can make the best use of my Hidden Dragon system.”Tolly gradually got up and then freshened up. It was a new day.When he got out of his house, he discovered there were quite a few guards outside his house. He immediately realized that Jenny, his wife, had already asked Fanta Lord to send more guards to protect him.“Well, my wife is so kind to me,” whispered Toly, “I’m so happy to have such a wonderful wife.”The guards used to be coworkers of Tolly. Hearing Tolly’s words, t
The dead body was no one else but Luna’s grandma. Tolly was devastated. Since Tolly met her, she had always been kind to her. Though they did not spend many hours together, he knew Luna’s grandma always liked him.The thought of never being able to save her in time brought tears to Tolly’s eyes. He couldn’t believe that Luna’s beloved grandma would be gone this way. Tolly was filled with sadness and grief at the loss of Luna’s grandma and the short memories they had shared together.Tolly wiped the tears away from his eyes. After that, he had to check the whole cottage carefully since he did not want anything bad that would happen to Luna.He immediately went to check the kitchen and the living room, but he didn’t find any trace of Luna. He dashed to the bedroom and discovered to his surprise that Luna was lying on the bed with a small mattress, tied to the columns of the bed.She looked rather dazed, staring at the ceiling desperately. At the same time, her face flamed red to her ear
Tolly slept for about a few hours before he opened his eyes again. As he slowly came to, he saw a few dishes on the little table near the bed. They smelled good and the aroma wafted in the room, tempting Tolly to wake up and investigate further. He sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes and trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. Looking at the dishes, he felt a sense of nostalgia engulfed him. He remembered back on earth his mom had often cooked delicious food for him when he had been a child. Needless to say, these dishes were cooked by Luna, who was apparently busy with cooking while he was asleep. Tolly’s stomach grumbled at the thought of the food. He quickly reached for one of the dishes with his hand directly. When he did so, Luna suddenly came in. “Hi, what are you doing, Tolly?” said Luna, pretending to be angry, “I’ve brought you the knife and fork. See, I’ve cooked some beef as well as some steak for you. I know that after having done that thing, it must have consumed a l
After walking for a few hours, Tolly arrived at the Fanta Mansion. He immediately went to look for Jenny. Yet, he met the guard called Derek.“Wow, you are finally back, my master,” said Derek excitedly, “We thought you were dead.”“How can it be possible?” said Tolly, “If there’s one thing I’m known for, it must be my ability to get good luck.”Derek smiled, “I was also lucky last time that bastard came to kill you. He just knocked me to unconsciousness and didn’t kill me. When I woke up, I discovered the assassin was killed in your house. I was astonished. Yet, we couldn’t find any trace of you. That was why we thought you were dead.”As he recounted what had happened, Jenny suddenly showed up and walked closer to Tolly in surprise, “Where did you go, Tolly? We’re asking nearly all the servants and guards to look for you. Yet, we just couldn’t find you.”“You know, I went to look for more clues about the guy who came to kill me,” Tolly lied, quickly averting the topic by asking, “H
“Oh, really?” said Jenny with a smile, continuing to read the novel happily, “Your writing is beautiful, and the characters are so well-developed and relatable.”“I’m flattered. I’m glad you like it. why don’t we read it together?” said Tolly with a cheeky grin, coming closer to her and slumping down in the chair beside her.Jenny frowned, subconsciously keeping some distance between them. The scent from her was so good that Tolly was immediately mesmerized by it. He instinctively leaned closer to her.As he was going to talk to her again, suddenly the carriage came to a halt.“What’s going on?” asked Jenny in surprise.“There are quite a few people standing in our way, Dear Fanta Miss,” said the coachman.“Who are they?” asked Jenny again.“I don’t know, Dear Fanta Miss,” said the coachman, “let me ask them.”Before he could open his mouth, the guard Derek stopped those people and asked,“Who on earth are you? Do you know what you’re doing? This is a carriage from Fanta Mansion. If y
