"Hmm…"
At this moment.
The avatar on the bed woke up, weak and delicate, calling out:
"Help me…"
Her long hair was disheveled, and she reached out her azure arm towards Lin Lang, but then suddenly let it drop.
Lin Lang: "?"
He walked closer, puzzled, and embraced the avatar: "What's wrong?"
"P-People…" The avatar bit her lip, shyly saying, "People are now an injured avatar, unable to move. Can you wash me clean, please?"
Lin Lang: "…"
This little actress! But he still played along: "Alright. Poor avatar."
So he carried Xu Xingyao into the bathroom and placed her in the bathtub.
The avatar extended a jade foot, her toes deftly twisting the knob on the bathtub, and soon clear warm water flowed into it.
Splashing—
Lin Lang asked, "You have clean water here?"
The avatar blinked and replied:
"Yes. There's a super large water tank on the rooftop, and there's also a wastewater recycling purification device underground. Most of the water can be reused."
Lin Lang nodded, feeling enlightened.
Indeed, life in the rich district is different.
…
Lin Lang washed the avatar clean.
He turned the blue avatar into the pink Xu Xingyao.
Only then did he see her face—
A stunning beauty, scoring a solid 9 out of 10.
On par with Gu Fei and Tang Lingyu.
This meant that they all had no major flaws in appearance.
Just different styles.
Gu Fei was a cool white-collar worker, Tang Lingyu was a charming young woman.
And Xu Xingyao was a bright and lively young girl, brimming with youthful energy.
Her skin was as smooth as a baby's.
It felt like if he bit into it, it would taste like milk.
But Lin Lang resisted the urge to bite.
With his current teeth.
One bite! He feared she would go from an injured avatar to a critically endangered Xu Xingyao.
After washing her clean.
Lin Lang tossed her back onto the soft big bed.
But she clung to Lin Lang like a sticky plaster, blinking her big eyes and asking:
"You must be an angel, right?"
"Otherwise, how could you find this place?"
"And get in so easily?"
…
"No! I'm the boss who provides food and lodging."
Lin Lang's words immediately broke the atmosphere.
But Xu Xingyao wasn't angry.
Instead, she smiled.
Cuddling up in Lin Lang's arms like a little cat, she gradually fell into a dream.
The next morning.
At dawn.
As soon as Lin Lang opened his eyes, he saw a pitiful maid standing by his bed:
"Master, you're awake?"
Lin Lang scratched his head:
"And you are…"
"Master, I'm your maid, Little Xing! Please feel free to give Little Xing any orders!"
She bowed slightly.
Her delicate fingers crossed at her waist.
With her shiny black stockings, she slightly hooked her leg.
Lifting her thigh-high dress…
Lin Lang instantly lost all sleepiness:
"Then you can tidy up the bed."
"Yes, Master."
The maid took off her little heels, climbed onto the bed, and with her rear raised, diligently tidied up the bedding.
She turned back, looking at Lin Lang with watery eyes:
"Master, can you help me?"
Lin Lang was naturally happy to oblige.
…
After tidying up the bed, it was lunchtime.
Lin Lang took out today's lunch from his space:
Shredded potatoes, seasonal vegetables, twice-cooked pork, meatball soup, and rice.
In the blink of an eye.
So many dishes appeared on the table?! She was completely stunned: "Where did all this food come from?"
Lin Lang remained calm:
"Eat."
Xu Xingyao swallowed, having not had such proper meals in a long time.
She immediately stopped caring where the food came from.
Picking up her bowl, she dug in! She finished three bowls of rice in one go!
[Xu Xingyao consumed 1 bowl of rice, returning 300 bowls, now stored in the host's space]
…
Only then did Lin Lang remember that she had indeed mentioned her big appetite.
He initially thought she was bragging.
But it turned out to be true! However, Lin Lang wasn't worried about her eating too much, as she could return what she ate.
He was just afraid she wouldn't eat enough.
It was just a bit strange—she ate so much, yet her stomach remained so small. Where did all that food go? After eating.
The maid, Little Xing, went to wash the dishes.
But Little Xing was a bit clumsy.
While washing, her apron fell off, needing her master to help tie it back.
As a result, tying it took a good part of the day…
…
Lin Lang adapted to his role as master in just half a day.
He had the maid clean up the place.
While he went to experience the ultra-high configuration e-sports room in Xu Xingyao's villa.
While the maid Little Xing was cleaning the bedroom, she noticed Lin Lang's phone ringing.
As the master's personal maid, handling the phone was part of her duties! So she answered:
"Hello?"
On the other end was a slightly cold woman's voice, seemingly surprised: "Who are you?"
"I'm Lin Lang's maid, Little Xing. May I ask what you need from the master?"
Little Xing answered very professionally.
"Um…" The woman hesitated for a moment, "It's nothing, thank you."
Then she hung up.
Little Xing didn't think much of it and continued cleaning.
"Cleaning so well, the master will definitely reward Little Xing, right?"
She felt delighted inside.
At night.
Lin Lang indeed rewarded her generously.
At the same time.
Lin Lang made a decision.
Not to bring Xu Xingyao back to Happiness Residential Complex—
One reason was that.
The Happiness Residential Complex was already home to Gu Fei, Tang Lingyu, and Lü Suran!
Adding more people would either mean no space or be quite inconvenient.
Moreover, Xu Xingyao had too much luggage!
Just her countless cosplay costumes and props would probably fill a large truck!
In comparison, the Happiness Residential Complex was too small, with no place to store her things! The other reason was…
Xu Xingyao's villa was quite nice!
Spacious!
With complete living and entertainment facilities!
Suitable for living!
Therefore, Lin Lang decided to leave Xu Xingyao here, but he would come regularly to deliver supplies.
…
The next morning.
Lin Lang opened his eyes.
He found a queen draped in a golden dragon robe sitting on a dragon chair, staring at him with a stern expression:
"Bold rebel! You have imprisoned me here, what do you intend to do?"
Oh! Today was the day of the imprisoned queen.
Then Lin Lang, as the rebellious traitor.
What should he do?
Isn't it obvious?
He approached with ill intentions.
…
Another day.
Lin Lang opened his eyes and saw a valiant ancient heroine in costume, holding a long sword, her face filled with indignation: "You scoundrel, what did you do to this heroine last night?!"
Lin Lang helplessly replied:
"I really can't do anything about you…"
"Then let me help you remember."
…
Another day.
Lin Lang opened his eyes and saw no one.
"Could it be that today is the day of the invisible gourd kid?"
When he walked into the bathroom.
He discovered rose petals floating in the bathtub.
A mermaid, crowned with flowers and covered with shells, was leaning over the edge of the bathtub, her gaze enchanting: "Fish cannot leave the water…"
Lin Lang sighed:
"Looks like I can't leave again today…"
…
Happiness Residential Complex.
Building C, Unit 1, 2202. Gu Fei, Lü Suran, and Tang Lingyu sat in the living room, all wearing worried expressions.
Their man had been out for several days without returning! Originally, they had agreed among themselves—
To avoid becoming a burden to Lin Lang!
No matter what Lin Lang was doing outside or how long he took to come back, they would never ask! To avoid annoying Lin Lang.
But now…
Gu Fei sighed and said:
"I admit it. I called Lin Lang before, and a maid answered. She referred to Lin Lang as 'Master.'"
"Ah?"
As a result.
Lü Suran and Tang Lingyu both showed surprise!
After a moment of silence.
Tang Lingyu also confessed: "Well, actually, I called Lin Lang too, and a woman answered. She said she was the queen of the Star Kingdom!"
Gu Fei: "Ah?"
Besides the maid, there's a queen? Did Lin Lang visit some royal family?
"And I…"
Lü Suran weakly raised her hand.
"I couldn't help it and called Lin Lang too. A woman answered, but she said she was a mermaid…"
Gu Fei and Tang Lingyu: "???"
How did even a mermaid come into the picture?
Three phone ca
lls!
Uncovered three different women!
And each one more outrageous than the last! They had no idea where Lin Lang had gone.
Atlantis?
Or an alien planet? They pondered in vain.
Gu Fei, still possessing a commanding presence, slammed the table and said, "No matter where Lin Lang has gone, we can at least be sure that there are many women around him now!"
Tang Lingyu nodded:
"We're in danger!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Suran's eyes instantly turned red.
