A fragrance came from the hall, making people salivate. Meng Xiang ran over at a speed almost comparable to "shaving", and the table was already filled with sumptuous meals.
Mu Fei'er was setting the table. After half a day's housework, although she was injured, she was in better spirits. She served the soup with a smile and said softly, "Sit down quickly. I don't know how to cook Western food. I can only try a combination of Chinese and Western food. Let's see if it tastes good." She was like a virtuous wife. Every word she said was full of caring and considerate tenderness.
Meng Xiang's stomach growled with hunger. He could not understand Mu Fei'er's mood at the moment. He sat down and stuffed the beef into his mouth with a fork. Mu Fei'er really didn't know how to cook Western food. She sliced the steak and fried it with celery. It was very delicious. Meng Xiang didn't care about praising him and stuffed it into his mouth desperately, as if he was eating a delicious delicacy.
Mu Fei'er sat opposite Meng Xiang, gazing at him with satisfaction, her face flushed and full of shyness.
Seeing her looking at him like that, Meng Xiang felt a little embarrassed. He quickly put down his fork and drank the soup with a spoon: "Don't just watch. You've been working for a long time. You must be hungry. Come and eat something."
Mu Fei'er gently picked up a piece of vegetable with her fork and put it into her mouth to chew, her eyes still looking at Meng Xiang with tenderness, making Meng Xiang at a loss.
"I don't know what happened to my family." Mu Fei'er suddenly let out a long sigh.
Meng Xiang drank the soup and listened to Mu Fei'er talking. Although he rarely got along with girls, he knew that if a girl wanted to confide her secrets, it would be better for a man to stop talking. Because what a girl needs is just someone to listen, not someone to give her advice.
"I usually do the housework. I like to prepare dinner with all my heart every night, and then wait for my family to come back for dinner. I feel very happy when I see them eating the dishes I cooked with satisfaction. I wonder who will prepare dinner now..." Mu Fei'er suddenly burst into tears while saying this.
Looking at this pitiful girl, Meng Xiang felt that he should say something, but he couldn't think of the right words. He was speechless for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "As long as you get 100,000 points, you can go home, and then you can continue to prepare dinner for them." Meng Xiang felt that he had said nonsense. Even he himself did not have the confidence to accumulate 100,000 points. Going home is not easy.
"100,000 points, yes, it's far away, but if you accumulate them slowly, you can go home one day." Mu Fei'er's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Meng Xiang expectantly, and said faintly: "Can we go back together then?"
Meng Xiang was stunned, looking at the tender Mu Fei'er, and understood her double-entendre words.
However, he couldn't make any promises yet.
"Well, I will definitely go back. When I have played around in the entire reincarnation world, I will bring home a lot of gold and live a delicious life, haha." Meng Xiang said, laughing foolishly. Mu Fei'er looked at him and couldn't help laughing. She put down her knife and fork, played with her fingers with both hands and said, "Play around in the reincarnation world, hehe, brother Meng, you can do it. You are different from others, I believe this. I don't have such a big dream as yours, but I really want to travel to the plot world with you... and my companions, but it's a pity..." Thinking of her dead companions, Mu Fei'er's heart sank again.
Meng Xiang didn't want to see her cry again, so he quickly said, "After we get through this horror movie, we can go to Inception for a few days. We can go to Disney theme park, or even go to the beach. I'll catch some seafood for you."
"Really? I've always wanted to go to Disneyland. I haven't seen the sea yet. It's really exciting." Mu Fei'er seemed to have fallen into an illusion, and then suddenly said, "Brother Meng, please don't die."
Meng Xiang didn't know why she said that suddenly, he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I won't die, I've gone through hellish training, the death's pursuit is nothing. You may not know, one time, we faced a team battle against the Devil Reincarnation team, I killed three of their strong men alone, in that battle, our Nameless Team..." Meng Xiang talked incessantly about his previous achievements, spitting all over the place, Mu Feier listened with great interest, occasionally slurring his words, making this "family" laugh.
But this laughter won't last long.
That night, Meng Xiang spread the quilt in the hall, Mu Fei'er slept on the floor, and he sat on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed while being alert to the movements around him, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
That night, Mu Fei'er slept until dawn.
Meng Xiang and Mu Fei'er have survived for three days. They can return safely in two more days. Meng Xiang dared not be careless and kept an eye on the movements around him. It seemed that Mu Fei'er had made the right decision to settle down here. At least she didn't have to run around and could stay at home to calm her body and mind.
Since Mu Fei'er settled down here, especially after chatting with Meng Xiang last night, she has become much more relaxed. She does housework, cooks, watches TV, and listens to CDs, just like she is on a trip. Compared with Meng Xiang who is always in a tense state of mind, Meng Xiang seems a little neurotic.
Nothing happened for the whole day, which was beyond Meng Xiang's expectation. However, it also proved that the pursuit of the Grim Reaper was actually irregular, which made Meng Xiang even more nervous. However, living with Mu Fei'er was also a pleasure. Mu Fei'er was different from Jie Juan. She would not take advantage of opportunities to make sarcastic remarks or to take advantage of small matters. It was a pleasure to talk and chat with Mu Fei'er. In particular, Mu Fei'er was very considerate. When she was hungry, the food was served. When she was thirsty, the tea was handed over.
This was the most peaceful day Meng Xiang had ever had since entering the reincarnation world. On the fourth day, or to be exact, after 9 o'clock in the evening, their peaceful life was disrupted.
Meng Xiang was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, while Mu Fei'er was humming a tune while lying on the quilt on the floor, opening a fashion magazine and reading it with great interest, when suddenly a voice broke their peaceful life.
"Listen, everyone inside. You are surrounded. Come out and surrender." It was the police's warning. Meng Xiang jumped up and hurried to the window. He saw nearly 50 policemen surrounding the house, almost filling the alley. They were all armed and wearing bulletproof vests, guarding the house where they lived.
"Huh, we finally found them. But how did they find us?" Meng Xiang forced a smile. Every time he encountered the police, one of his companions would be killed. He prayed that this time would be an exception.
Mu Fei'er put down the magazine in her hand and got up. She was surprisingly calm, completely different from the panicked one before. She came over and looked at the police outside the window, and suddenly said, "Brother Meng, you should leave by yourself. Anyway, I am just a burden. You can't escape with me."
"Fei'er, stop joking." Meng Xiang couldn't understand what Mu Fei'er was thinking, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Mu Feier smiled faintly and said, "Didn't you say that even if the police caught me and convicted me, they wouldn't be able to execute me in the remaining days? Besides, I haven't done anything yet, so even if they catch me, I'll be fine. Our enemy is only the Grim Reaper. You alone should be able to guard against the Grim Reaper's pursuit."
"What about you?"
"It depends on your luck. Anyway, if the Grim Reaper really sets his sights on me, you can't save me." Mu Feier seemed to have made up her mind to part ways with Meng Xiang.
Meng Xiang was silent. Indeed, if he was alone, he could focus all his energy on himself. With only two days left, he could hold on even without sleep. However, if he was with Mu Feier, he had to at least take Mu Feier into consideration and would need twice as much energy.
But he couldn't just leave Mu Fei'er alone.
"Stop talking. Let's surrender to the police together. It's not the first time we've been in jail." Meng Xiang said calmly. At this time, the police outside the door spoke again: "Listen, everyone inside, put down all your weapons, and come out with your hands raised high."
The police's words made Meng Xiang feel very unhappy, but he had no choice but to pull Mu Fei'er's hand and walk out. Mu Fei'er retracted her hand and said firmly: "Brother Meng, leave quickly. You don't have to go into the cell with me."
"That won't work." Meng Xiang grinned. Suddenly, with a "bang", the glass of the window broke and a stone-like object shot in. Unexpectedly, Mu Fei'er was pulling Meng Xiang, who was about to push the door out, at the window. The object hit Mu Fei'er on the head. Mu Fei'er walked lightly and fell to the ground with a "bang".
That thing was a smoke bomb. Thick smoke billowed out, choking Meng Xiang and making him cough repeatedly. He had to use spiritual defense to block the invasion of the smoke.
"Fei'er, what's wrong with you?" Meng Xiang squatted down, but at this moment, some fragments still remaining on the broken glass window were blown off by the wind outside and stabbed towards the chest of Mu Fei'er who was lying by the window like a sharp knife.
Thick smoke billowed, and when Meng Xiang realized the glass was coming, he had no time to pull Mu Fei'er away. He suddenly fell on Mu Fei'er, and the glass was stuck in his back. However, Meng Xiang's physique was much better than that of an ordinary person, and he was in the spiritual defense, so of course he was not afraid of the glass fragments. With a "bang", the glass shattered, just like hitting an iron plate.
"Damn it, God of Death, are you here to add to the chaos at this time?" Meng Xiang cursed secretly in his heart. This small accident was nothing to Meng Xiang, but it was a fatal blow to Mu Fei'er and other reincarnationists who were like newcomers.
The thick smoke from the smoke bomb had covered the entire house. If he didn't get out, Mu Fei'er would be choked to death. He quickly picked up Mu Fei'er and was about to run out, but the door had been kicked open and three policemen with guns and oxygen masks broke in. Meng Xiang didn't bother to talk nonsense with them and threw three punches in a row. The three policemen snorted and were all knocked unconscious.
