Chapter 467: Chapter 232: Is Master Going to Punish Me?

"Which little glutton is it today?"

Lin Mo teased as he opened the door.

Then...

Then he met a pair of light purple eyes and froze on the spot, embarrassed.

"Mr. Lin Mo?"

Feney tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a face full of confusion.

’A little glutton... Does Miss Lena come to chat with Mr. Lin Mo at night?’

Lin Mo’s mouth twitched. The image of Shefilya’s "calm" face immediately appeared in his mind.

’That little Maid definitely put her up to this!’

"Ahem—"

He cleared his throat and said, "Oh, it’s you, Feney... Is something the matter?"

"Um..."

Cradling a pillow, Feney lowered her head shyly. "Mr. Lin Mo, can I... rest in your room?"

"Can’t sleep alone?"

Little Feney wouldn’t have any ulterior motives, so Lin Mo didn’t let his mind wander in that direction.

"Mhm!"

Feney nodded emphatically, clenching her small fists nervously.

"Alright..."

Feney had, after all, suddenly left her hometown, so it was completely understandable that she would feel lonely. Lin Mo felt a tender affection for the adorable girl and naturally wouldn’t refuse her.

He closed the door, and the room fell silent.

Feney walked stiffly to the bedside, placed her pillow on the bed, and slowly slid under the covers, her heart starting to race uncontrollably.

’Sister Shefilya’s advice really worked... All I had to do was say that, and now I get to sleep with Mr. Lin Mo!’

"Have you bathed, Feney?"

"Ah? Mhm... I’ve already bathed."

Feeling the warmth of the covers, Feney’s voice trembled with nervousness.

"Then you should get some rest."

However, Lin Mo simply walked to the side of the bed, picked up a book lying nearby, and continued to read.

The Magic Energy Lamp went out, but Lin Mo activated his [Eagle Eye] Skill and could still see the words in the book clearly.

He usually didn’t go to bed this early, so he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep right away anyway.

In the darkness, Feney’s nervousness slowly faded. She glanced at Lin Mo beside her, only able to make out his general outline.

The more "exciting" things Sister Shefilya had mentioned didn’t happen, which made Feney feel both relieved and a little disappointed.

’She had thought...’

’She had thought they might kiss tonight!’

But she soon cast these messy thoughts aside. The comfortable warmth of the covers and the familiar scent beside her gave Feney a deep sense of peace.

She really hadn’t been adjusting well since leaving home and hadn’t been sleeping well at night. Sometimes she had trouble falling asleep, but tonight, drowsiness came early.

Before long, Feney closed her eyes.

Lin Mo gently stroked the beautiful golden hair of the girl beside him, a serene smile on his lips.

Finally, he slowly leaned over and placed a light kiss on Feney’s smooth, soft cheek.

A girl like Feney was different from Ali and Shefilya. If he took too big a step, he might scare her. Shefilya herself should have been well aware of this.

So, her goal was only to help her young miss speed things up a bit, or at least establish some more intimate contact first.

As his gaze returned to his book, Lin Mo glanced at her cute, sleeping face out of the corner of his eye. Just as he expected, it was turning visibly red.

Fortunately, the overly shy Feney didn’t dare to move, afraid he would notice she was awake. After a while, she truly did fall asleep, and her breathing became even.

Lin Mo yawned. He couldn’t really focus on his book anymore and was about to go to sleep himself.

However, just then, the "doorbell" chime sounded in the room again.

Lin Mo was stunned.

’What is going on?’

He walked over and opened the door. Standing there was the expressionless little Maid.

Lin Mo immediately rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Did you put Feney up to this?"

Shefilya didn’t answer, merely gazing at him with her golden eyes. "So, is Master going to punish Shefilya?"

Lin Mo’s anger flared up.

’This girl, she’s definitely doing this on purpose!’

’Wait... could Feney also be a part of her plan?’

’Don’t tell me she did this on purpose to make things more exciting?’

Lin Mo glanced at the sleeping Feney and was suddenly struck by a strange sense of immorality.

A barely perceptible curve touched the corner of Shefilya’s lips.

’Although helping Miss Feney with her romantic progress was indeed her duty, was it not also reasonable to consider her own "interests" while fulfilling said duty?’

"Come on, to your room!"

In short, what followed was a wonderful but indescribable story...

"Gained attribute point: Agility +1!"

Seeing the notification float before his eyes, Lin Mo closed them in satisfaction and drifted off to sleep.

’Good, my efforts weren’t in vain.’

The next morning, when Feney opened her eyes, she was the only one left in the room.

The bedding beside her had long since grown cold, leaving her heart feeling a little empty.

Fortunately, the door soon opened, and Lin Mo walked in carrying a tray. "You’re awake? Have some breakfast. Later we’ll go for a walk around the city and help Lena rent that plantation."

Feney looked at him, and the memory of what happened last night came flooding back. She couldn’t help but cover one of her cheeks and lower her head shyly.

"Mhm..."

After breakfast, they went out together. Lin Mo held a handbook he had borrowed from the innkeeper, which contained information about the adventure-related industries in Fajade City.

The first thing to look at was the blacksmith forges.

Compared to Roland Town and Silver Stream City, Fajade City had far, far more forges. The related introductions filled several pages with dense text.
