Chapter 457 The Puppy is Hungry
She then took out two black iron tokens and handed them to Vassim:
"This is a patrol token exclusive to the temple. After nightfall, those who carry this token and wear the attire of a deacon can openly approach the outer perimeter of the forbidden area under the guise of patrolling."
Xia Ning's expression was solemn as she earnestly instructed:
"With uniforms and tokens on your person, plus Meow Meow accompanying you for cover, you have a lot more confidence to infiltrate the forbidden area."
"But the risks are still considerable, so we must be flexible and adapt to changing circumstances and avoid rash actions."
Wasim nodded solemnly, took the two patrol tokens, and carefully put them away.
Immediately, his gaze fell on the tabby cat, Miaomiao, and he felt a sense of affection for it. He reached out his arm, wanting to hug the cat and comfort it.
Upon seeing this, Meow Meow immediately leaped back lightly, her face full of disgust and resistance.
Wasim stood frozen in place, his outstretched hand awkwardly hanging in mid-air: "Looks like it doesn't like me very much!"
A faint smile played on Lin Feng's lips as he took out a bag of dried fish from his spatial storage and handed it to Vassim.
"Feed it with this."
Vassim quickly took the dried fish, carefully picked one up, and slowly handed it to Meow Meow.
Meow Meow first sniffed suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the dried fish. She slowly walked forward, lowered her head and began to nibble at it.
After finishing eating, Meow Meow squatted to the side, and no matter how Vassim tried to coax her, she refused to let him hold her in his arms.
Wasim could only reluctantly withdraw his hand, spreading his palms with a helpless expression.
Xia Ning offered words of comfort:
"It's alright. Although it dislikes you, it can distinguish between what's important and what's urgent, and it certainly won't delay its mission."
After saying that, Xia Ning's gaze fell on Lin Feng's face.
"You should also change into your butler uniform and come with me."
Lin Feng nodded, deftly put on the black butler uniform, fastened the belt, and straightened the collar.
His black clothes, fitted to his body, accentuated the sharp and upright lines of his shoulders and back.
Xia Ning glanced at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, then turned and walked towards the door.
"Hold on."
Lin Feng called out to her, then turned to Vassim and solemnly instructed him:
"Hang a towel by your window, and a bat will fly in at midnight. Feed it some honey then."
Lin Feng took out a cup of honey from his storage space and gently placed it on the table.
"After feeding the bats, go find Evelyn and head to the forbidden area together."
"Remember, you must wait for the bats to arrive before setting off. If the bats have not arrived, immediately cancel the operation and do not act rashly."
Wasim's expression hardened: "I understand!"
After giving his instructions, Lin Feng followed Xia Ning out of the dormitory.
........................
Upon entering the room in the round building, Lin Feng immediately went to the window.
The night outside the window was thick with darkness. Six bats hung upside down under the eaves, their thin wings folded, like six withered leaves.
Sensing Lin Feng's approach, they all opened their eyes, their tiny claws twitching slightly, making a very soft rustling sound.
Lin Feng raised his hand, his fingertips tapping lightly in the air a few times, silently conveying instructions—
Divide into two groups.
One group went to crouch at the entrance to the forbidden area, and the other group went to lie in ambush near the Lonely Lord's villa. They were to return immediately to report if there was any unusual activity.
Six bats flapped their wings at the same time and silently disappeared into the night.
Lin Feng turned around.
Xia Ning was already sitting on the edge of the bed, patting the spot next to her: "Honey, come sit down."
Lin Feng walked over and sat down next to her.
The wooden bed sank slightly as the two people's shoulders rested together.
Xia Ning turned her head to look at him. The dim light fell on her face, softening her usual aloofness and revealing a softer undertone.
Are you tired today?
Lin Feng let out a long breath and leaned against her shoulder.
"Climbing snow-capped mountains, carrying corpses... what do you think? It's absolutely exhausting!"
Xia Ning's lips curved slightly, and she reached out to gently stroke the back of his head:
"Then, husband, lie down, and I'll give you a massage."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng lazily turned his head and kissed her lips, his lips pressed together, and said in a muffled yet affectionate tone:
"My wife is so good."
Then she obediently turned over, lay face down on the bed, rested her face on her arms, and completely relaxed.
Xia Ning gently straddled his waist, placing her hands on his shoulders and back.
Xia Ning's technique wasn't professional, and her strength was light, but she was patient and focused.
Starting from the shoulders and neck, she pushed down inch by inch along the muscle lines on both sides of the spine with her fingertips, applying slight pressure each time she passed a stiff lump and gently kneading it open with her fingertips.
When she reached the lower back, Xia Ning switched to using the heel of her palm, massaging it in circles.
The muscles there were the most sore, and Lin Feng couldn't help but groan, the last syllable rising slightly.
Suddenly, Lin Feng rolled over without warning, grabbed her, and pulled her close, his arms tightening so much that she fell face-first into his chest.
Before she could react, he had already turned to the side, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.
The moment their lips touched, Xia Ning's mind went blank for a brief instant.
His hands were clasped behind her waist, his palms burning hot, and when he touched her through the thin fabric, it felt like a brick fresh out of the kiln.
Xia Ning's breath hitched slightly from his kiss. She managed to turn her head away, her lips brushing against the corner of his mouth as she tried to escape. Her voice held a hint of panic.
"Honey... what's wrong with you...?"
Lin Feng's lips brushed against her earlobe, his voice low and husky: "You've made me restless."
He paused, gently stroking her waist with his hand, his voice lowering slightly: "How about... we do it?"
Xia Ning suddenly propped herself up on her arms, forcefully pushing herself half an inch away from his embrace. She placed her hands on his chest, bit her lip, and whispered:
"Do you think I don't want to?"
A faint blush rose to her cheeks, but her eyes were very serious:
"But that won't do! Tonight is the boss battle; if my energy and spirit falter, I might lose my life!"
She ruffled Lin Feng's hair: "Honey, just bear with it for now, okay? I'll take good care of you after the BOSS battle is over."
The last few words were spoken very softly, her breath gently brushing against his ear.
Looking at her earnest yet embarrassed expression, Lin Feng felt a sudden softening in his heart.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms again, this time with much less force. It was no longer the slightly aggressive embrace from before, but rather as if he were holding something precious and fragile. His chin rested on the top of her head, and his voice was deep and gentle:
"Honey, you're right. I couldn't control myself—I'll listen to you."
He paused, then pulled her closer, drawing her into his embrace.
"But I want to hold you like this."
Xia Ning buried her face in the crook of his neck and mumbled, "Why are you like a clingy little puppy?"
Lin Feng gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head, his voice carrying a lazy laugh: "The little puppy is hungry."
Xia Ning's face flushed red to her ears instantly. She raised her hand and lightly punched his chest, scolding him playfully:
"Ugh...you're stealing Xiaozhixia's food again!"
