Chapter 276 The Sneaky Squad
Chapter 276 The Sneaky Squad
However, in the end, the resignation plan of a certain anxious acting sage was once again shelved.
The reason is simple: important matters such as the appointment and removal of sages cannot be passed without Nasita's approval.
It's reasonable that the Grass God is currently not in the Pure Goodness Palace, as he is traveling incognito to observe the local customs and culture of Sumeru City.
The acting sage had no choice but to return empty-handed for the eighty-seventh time. It seemed that he would have to wait until he had dealt with the affairs of Siraj and Elias before considering resigning.
Elhesen led the disciplinary officers on duty and set off, taking along the idle architect before he left.
After all, since I can't leave work on time, I can't let this lazy guy have it too easy.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of Sumeru City, at Dolly's house.
It was still early, and the sunlight wasn't strong yet. Dappled light and shadow filtered through the gaps between the branches, dappling and swaying on the dirt path with the occasional breeze that swept through the woods.
Plop, the morning dew gathered into small puddles by the path, making a crisp sound after footsteps.
The sound of splashing in the water drifted away on the quiet morning breeze. The little dancer, who had secretly come to find a guy who hadn't come home all night, was startled and instinctively hid behind a palm tree by the roadside, peeking out her little head and cautiously looking around.
It was very quiet all around. Apart from the slight rustling of the trees in the distance, there was no one to be seen on the path. The path stretched into the depths of the rainforest in complete silence.
It's probably just the sound of wind rustling through leaves...
Nilu gently patted her chest, letting out a sigh of relief, a slight blush of embarrassment rising on her fair cheeks.
It's no wonder the girl was a bit startled; after all, coming to someone else's house to eavesdrop so early in the morning was really beyond the usual behavior of the gentle and considerate dancer.
If the audience at Zubair Theatre knew that she also had such an unconventional side, they would probably be very surprised, right?
Nilu, hiding behind a tree, stuck out her tongue inwardly, trying to find a reasonable excuse for her behavior.
That's right! It's all Mu Feng's fault. He's only been back for a few days and he's been staying out all night. She came here to stop that philandering guy from making a mistake!
Well, it wasn't like we were planning to steal people from the start!
Regardless of the outcome, the girl seemed to have perfectly convinced herself. After secretly glancing around to make sure no one was watching, she continued to tiptoe quietly toward the small villa in the distance.
When she reached the fence, she first peeked out into the yard, but it was empty. A sense of excitement welled up in the girl's heart.
Looks like she's the first one, and there's a high chance she'll have all of Mu Feng today... well, maybe she'll share with Little Dolly at most.
The faint sound of cups and plates clinking could be heard from inside the house. Then, shadowy figures moved about in the kitchen, followed by the sound of running water, indicating that breakfast was nearing its end.
The young dancer's heart skipped a beat. It seemed breakfast was almost over; were they about to head out? A perfect opportunity!
To use Mu Feng's strange terminology, the newbie protection period is over, and from today onwards, it's time for fair competition!
Go for it, Nilu! First place is definitely yours!
Giving herself a pep talk, the girl quietly moved closer to the door, her bright blue eyes sparkling as she kept her eyes glued to the figure inside.
However, at that moment, a sound of a branch breaking came from above. A branch hit Nelu squarely on the forehead, and the unsuspecting girl cried out in surprise.
The figure inside paused for a moment. Nilu quickly covered her mouth, rubbed her forehead in grievance, lowered her body, and subconsciously looked up at the tree.
Immediately afterwards, she came face to face with Dixia and Dinazede, who happened to be hiding in the tree branches looking down at her.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle, and silence fell—the silence that marked this morning's enlightenment.
The mercenary girl grabbed her young mistress by the back of her collar with one hand and leaned against a tree trunk with the other, covering her face and sighing. The young mistress, who was the instigator, smiled guiltily and looked around.
She was too excited just now; if Dixia hadn't pulled her up, it wouldn't just be a branch that fell.
She waited for a full three hours before dawn, so it's understandable that she was a little excited, right?
Nilu's light blue eyes were filled with shock, and her soft little mouth was slightly open. So she wasn't the first one to arrive?
However, the girls didn't have much time to be surprised, because at that moment, footsteps echoed along the path once again.
Oh no, someone's here! If we find out that the famous little dancer from Sumeru, the young lady from the Huma family, and the mercenary girl, Fiery Lion, are not only neglecting their duties but also sneaking out to someone else's house to eavesdrop, we'll definitely have to move to another country to live!
The same thought crossed the minds of the three girls. They didn't care about the order of arrival and quickly returned to their original hiding places, quietly holding their breath.
The courtyard fell silent once more, and then a blue-haired girl in a white dress appeared at the end of the path.
The girl crept up to the courtyard, pretending to be just passing by, and casually peeked inside.
At the same time, a seemingly absurd idea unconsciously surfaced in the girls' minds.
Farusian...senpai...? No way...
Immediately afterwards, Dixia sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, while Nilu and Dinazede next to her pouted and showed almost identical expressions in perfect unison.
Brother Mufeng! Oh no! They're going to get angry, hmph!
On the other side, Farusan was unaware that three pairs of eyes were staring at her intently. She hesitated for a moment, a hint of conflict appearing in her light green heterochromatic eyes.
To go in or not to go in? That is the question.
A war without gunfire has begun once again.
Angel Farusan: As a highly respected senior, such behavior damages your prestige. Farusan, you must defeat them honorably and make someone call you senior obediently!
Devil Farusan: Tsundere has already been phased out, so let me ask you, why is it that blue-haired girls are often losers?
looking my eyes! tell me why, baby, why?
Angel Farusian: ...
Ultimately, in the face of the perfect prospect painted by the imp, the angel Farusan was utterly defeated in this confrontation.
Farusan let out a soft sigh. Well, now that she had chosen her target, she wasn't one to be pretentious.
Love is love, and hate is hate. Farusan has always been very clear about this, especially after experiencing separation. The once awkward girl is no longer hesitant to lower herself.
However, just as she made up her mind, she heard footsteps and the sound of a doorknob turning inside the house.
Dolly, who had just finished breakfast, stood in front of her house, looking out the window at the various strange decorations that had "appeared" overnight in the garden, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
First of all, excluding the insane experiments conducted by some extreme bio-theorists who even go so far as to experiment on fences, the fence in her garden shouldn't have horns, right?
Secondly, she doesn't seem to remember planting any triangular Pilan Heavy Machinery plants or anything like that in the flowerbed.
Last but not least, you two in the tree! Get down here! Don't think you can hide her just because you're blocking her view with leaves!
The little girl was furious. What did these guys take her home for?! How could she possibly have it all to herself today?! She refused to believe it; if they had the guts, they'd drag the Grass God out of the Pure Goodness Palace to eavesdrop!
"Hmm...it's so lively today! What are you all doing? If it's hide-and-seek, can I join in?"
Dolly: ? ? !
