Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 177 The eldest lady’s basement

Three days later, in Xumi City, at the Humayi Chamber of Commerce.

The morning sun was just right, and the fine, dappled light filtered through the lush canopy of trees, scattering across the marble-paved path before turning back to embrace the dewdrops on the new buds.

"Da da... da da..."

The crisp sound of horses' hooves shattering the morning light came from afar, and a carriage, draped in a dewy coat, quietly drove into the courtyard of the merchant guild.

Then, the antique and elegant door was gently pushed open a crack, and then silently closed again.

“Brother Mufeng~ You haven’t been back to Sumeru City for so long, and you didn’t even remember to write us a letter.”

"Hmph... Looks like someone's doing quite well in the desert."

In Dina Zede's room, a girl who had just gotten up, wearing pajamas, stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes revealing a hint of danger.

Especially when she saw the cat-eared girl with Mu Feng, the threat almost materialized.

He had only gone on a business trip to the desert, and although he set off alone, he returned with two more people, and most importantly, they were both beautiful girls.

Indeed, in this situation, it would be better to just lock them up, right?

Oh, right, I was reading Inazuma's light novel the other day, and apparently all the rich girls there are into living in basements. I think it's not impossible to give it a try.

Her room is actually quite big.

Sensing the sudden, faint killing intent that filled the room, Mu Feng silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It seems that ever since Dina Zede's demon scale disease was mostly cured, the girl's emotions have become quite "irritable," and she frequently makes threatening warnings from the basement.

Suddenly, I feel a little nostalgic for the gentle young lady I used to be.

"Um, little Dina Zede."

“I think I can still argue… I mean, I can still offer an explanation.”

To soothe the irritated girl, Mu Feng very consciously picked up a wooden comb from the dressing table and carefully approached Dina Zedai to tidy up her messy long hair.

A basement is too advanced for Sumeru at present; it's just right for Inazuma.

"Hmph, Brother Mu Feng had better have some explanation."

"otherwise……"

Dina Zede pouted, revealing her sharp fangs menacingly.

Otherwise, just wait until her basement is built.

Even so, the girl obediently turned her head away, letting Mu Feng skillfully pick up a string of exquisitely designed hair accessories and gently place them on her combed long hair.

Standing by the door, Little Dixia shivered slightly and unconsciously shrank her neck a little.

For a fleeting moment, she seemed to personally experience the "pressure of the evil dragon" described in her father's stories.

However, when she came to her senses, the girl in front of her seemed to have turned back into a gentle and lovely young lady, as if the murderous intent that had just erupted was just her imagination.

But... is it really just an illusion?

Dixia swallowed silently.

It seems that her first business deal after living independently is not so easy.

However, on the other hand, it seems that her savior now has a very close relationship with the daughter of the legendary richest man in Xumi, Humayi.

Little Dixia glanced at the two people who were being all lovey-dovey on the other side, and couldn't help but recall the teasing remark that Farusan had casually made in Aru Village a few days ago.

As expected, her father's words were right; experience truly matters. She, Dixia, was convinced by this address of "senior."

……

"Huh, are these the bodyguards Dad arranged?"

On the other side, after listening to someone's confident explanation, Dina Zede stretched out her fair index finger and rested it on her chin, gently blinking her large, light brown eyes.

Isn't it... a bit too much of a coincidence?

The girl's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

Trying to fool a clever young lady isn't that easy.

"Of course, speaking of which, Uncle Shazaman and Little Dixia's father are old acquaintances."

Mu Feng remained calm and composed. According to the script, Shazaman should have already received Dixia's father's request to take care of his daughter by this time.

To prevent any potential backyard fires, it's best to let Mr. Humayi take the blame for this.

The Church and the people will remember your contributions.

Upon hearing this, Dina Zede pouted angrily. Now, she had gained another competitor.

This father who's ruining his daughter's life is no good!

"boom!"

Just then, the wooden door to Dina Zede's room was pushed open from the outside, and accompanied by a smug voice, Shazaman's figure appeared in the hallway at the doorway.

"Hey, little Dina Zede, I've found you a really good bodyguard, take a look..."

The next moment, Shazaman's words came to an abrupt halt.

Inside the room, Dina Zede's gaze was deep and melancholy, while Mu Feng, standing to the side, looked on with sympathy.

See, isn't this a coincidence?

The slightly eerie atmosphere sent a chill down the spine of even the seasoned businessman, Mr. Huma, and his smug expression turned somewhat bewildered.

"Huh? You're all here?"

……

Half an hour later, Dina Zede's room door closed, leaving only Mu Feng and Shazaman crouching dejectedly in the corner, alone in the cool morning breeze in the corridor.

Clearly, the man deemed a womanizer and the father deemed a mole were both cleanly and decisively kicked out by the furious young lady.

Shazaman didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

Wasn't it just fulfilling a request from an old friend to find a bodyguard for his frail and sickly daughter?

How exactly did things escalate to the point where she was kicked out of her own beloved daughter's house?

The wind is quite noisy today.

Beside him, Mu Feng looked sympathetically at his father, whose face had turned black and white, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

Mu Feng wouldn't approve of this year's Sumeru annual record if it didn't include the highlight moment of the gold medal support player, Shazaman Humayi.

To single-handedly turn the tide of an impending catastrophe—great, needs no further explanation.

Even the great five-star support characters from Teyvat, Mr. Maple Leaf and Ms. Xinoning, have stated that no one understands support better than them, whether it's increasing damage, reducing resistance, crowd control, or providing shields, boosting attack, or healing groups.

A major documentary series, "The Legend of Six-Star Support," will continue to be broadcast for you.

However, because of the leaky cotton in the small black-hearted cotton, Shazaman's mood was obviously not as happy as he had imagined.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, it must be you who did it again."

Humayi glared at Mufeng with an unfriendly look.

"I'm warning you, if you dare to upset my Dina Zede, don't blame me for settling scores with you."

The old father, whose family's cabbage, which he had raised for over a decade, had been stolen, was a little bit heartbroken.

Most importantly, it seems that the cabbage ran away on its own.

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng awkwardly withdrew his hand, revealing an embarrassed but polite smile.

"Oh, how could that be?"

The will-o'-the-wisp he ordered online is still at Komahaya and hasn't been shipped yet, is it?

Shazaman glanced at Mu Feng almost imperceptibly, and unconsciously let out a cold snort.

"You've got a bit of my style from when I was young... cough cough, I mean, it seems like you have a special relationship with that little girl, Nilu, too?"

Mu Feng paused for a moment. Was there a possibility, perhaps... maybe... possibly... that there was more than one?

Even... it seems like the Grass God belongs to his family?

Ahem... But that's not the point. The point is that he, Mu, didn't mean anything by it, but you seem to know a little too much.

"Uncle Shazaman, you wouldn't want little Dina Zede to know about your youthful days, would you?"

……
