**Chapter 368: Guaranteed Bliss**
Meanwhile, Nightingale's grumbling didn't affect Jiangnan's business in the slightest!
Still booming!
As the night grew darker and colder, people shivered but persisted in queuing up for the Small Slippers!
"How much was it? Thirty thousand, right? I'll transfer it!"
The bro's hands were red from the cold, trembling as he entered the amount.
"Ah crap! Nan... Lord Nan! I added an extra zero!"
He'd accidentally transferred three hundred thousand!
"Sorry, sorry! I made a mistake! Can you give it back?"
Jiangnan sighed helplessly: "Look at you! So careless! You need to be more careful next time!"
The bro scratched his head with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Jiangnan: "You know? You're lucky it's me."
"If it was someone else, they might have transferred it back to you!"
The bro laughed: "Thanks! Thanks!"
Then he froze.
Wait...
Hold on.
What the hell did you just say?
So you're not giving it back?
And I'm lucky it's you?
Just how unlucky do I have to be to run into you?
What are you thinking?!
The bro panicked: "No! That's my money!"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: "Your money? Once it's in my hands, it's my money!"
The bro: "Then you have to give it back!"
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips and said matter-of-factly: "I earned this money through my own skill! Why should I give it back?"
[From Wang Jiahe: Resentment +1000!]
You actually admit it's robbery?
Earned through your own skill? Not giving it back?
Go apologize to the robbers locked up in prison!
"Shoo! Shoo! Don't interrupt my business!"
With that, he shoved three Vitality Ginsengs into the bro's hands and sent him off.
The bro stared dumbfounded at the three Vitality Ginsengs in his hands.
Somehow, it felt like I'd actually gotten a free pair of slippers out of this?
The stall continued until past nine, still incredibly popular.
But when Jiangnan glanced back,
Nightingale's soles were practically worn through!
And her gaze—
(ꐦ◣‸◢)
Had clearly turned into knife eyes!
Jiangnan felt a chill run down his spine. He crouched down, packed up the stall, folded the Small Stool, and bolted for home!
"Jiangnan! Stupid Jiangnan! Get back here!"
"Wah—"
"I won't steal your food anymore, okay? Come back!"
[From Nightingale...]
No way!
I need to find a way to survive!
I still need this perpetual motion machine to help grind out a Spirit Pearl!
After Jiangnan teleported away,
the Space Wormhole automatically deactivated, and the wind-chasing girl trapped in an infinite loop charged off once more...
Once home, Jiangnan had no time to calculate his earnings from the stall!
He rushed up to the second floor in a panic!
"Xuexue, Lang Mie, Mila! If someone starts a fight with me later, don't intervene, no matter what!"
After saying that, Jiangnan vanished instantly.
Zhong Yingxue and the other two were dumbfounded. What was going on?
Xia Yao raised her hand: "I'm ordering popcorn. Anyone else?"
...
At 9:27 PM, the soles finally wore through.
Nightingale returned to the villa with hollow eyes, her legs trembling.
Her delicate little feet were covered in soot and scorch marks. The soles were gone,
but the Y-shaped strap of the flip-flops still hung between her toes.
Staring at the villa door, she ground her teeth.
"Stupid Jiangnan! I'm gonna cut—"
The door suddenly swung open!
Jiangnan stood there in a tuxedo, devastatingly handsome.
He stepped forward, scooped Nightingale up in a princess carry, and said deeply: "Yesterday, you carried me home. Today, I'll carry you—"
Nightingale: "Huh?"
Looking at Jiangnan's serious, earnest expression, she was completely stunned.
It was... a little charming.
But so what?
That doesn't stop me from wanting to kill you!
Jiangnan carried her into the living room.
On the dining table were eighteen steaming dishes, plus three pots of rice!
A whole steamer basket of meat buns gave off a mouthwatering aroma.
Three candles flickered on the table, and a bouquet made of fried chicken legs served as the centerpiece.
Nightingale: ٩(º﹃º٩)
Her ability drained massive amounts of energy and stamina. After running nonstop for over three hours,
she was starving! The sight of all that food was irresistible.
Everything looked great.
A bouquet made of fried chicken legs?
How practical!
Jiangnan gently placed Nightingale on a chair.
He expertly unfolded a napkin and tucked it into her collar.
"Is... is all this for me?"
Nightingale looked dazed.
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "You worked so hard to protect me. Don't you deserve it?"
Nightingale: (⑉Ծ^Ծ⑉)
Exactly!
Better eat first, then kill Jiangnan!
Upstairs, three little heads peeked out, stacked in a row,
secretly watching Jiangnan and Nightingale.
Wasn't there supposed to be a fight? What's happening?
When are they gonna fight? We're waiting with popcorn!
Nightingale's figure blurred.
Every dish on the table, all three pots of rice, the meat buns, the chicken legs—all gone!
Only the candles remained, uneaten.
But what was that row of tiny teeth marks on the candles?
Before Jiangnan could recover from the shock,
a burping Nightingale grabbed her knife handle again.
Jiangnan: !!!
He quickly scooped her up again,
carried her to his room, and placed her on his bed.
He vanished, reappearing with a basin of steaming Strongman 2.0.
Nightingale shrank back: "Wh-what are you doing?"
Without a word, Jiangnan crouched down, took Nightingale's delicate little foot, and placed it into the basin of hot water.
An incredibly pure energy surged through her foot into her body.
Nightingale relaxed completely, but her earlobes turned red.
Ahhh!
Lord Nan! He's washing my feet?!
This... this...
"Stop! You can't! This isn't right!"
She tried to pull her foot away.
Jiangnan held it firmly.
No, it's got to be right! My future plans, my lifelong happiness depend on it!
Watch the master's technique!
[Skill points +111,000 added!]
[Skill upgraded! Foot Massage (Master): LV0!]
He dumped over 110,000 skill points,
upgrading foot massage from Expert to Master.
Jiangnan grabbed both of Nightingale's feet,
his hands moving like a dream—up and down, left and right, in and out!
A wave of pure bliss shot straight to her head. The electric sensation made her scalp tingle.
"Ahh! This! Oh my! I... I..."
Just as you can't count the stars in the night sky,
you'll never know how good Jiangnan's master-level foot massage feels.
Nightingale felt like she was ascending to heaven!
Walking on clouds!
"Jiangnan! Stop it! This is embarrassing!"
"Oh? Should I stop?"
"Just... just keep going."
Jiangnan grinned slyly: "Your mouth says no, but your body is honest!"
Upstairs, the three girls pressing their ears against the door were utterly dumbfounded.
In an instant, Xia Yao's popcorn lost all its flavor!
What's this about stopping and going again?
Something's not right!
Xia Yao panicked!
Is this the fight you were talking about?
No way!
I won't stand for it!
Agitated, Xia Yao pressed forward—
Then—
"BAM!"
The door frame and door panel crashed onto the floor.
Zhong Yingxue reacted quickly, slapping her hand over Mila's eyes: "No! You're too young! You can't— Oh."
Everyone froze.
There was Jiangnan, crouched on the floor, massaging Nightingale's feet, sweating profusely.
The water in the basin had turned black...
Xia Yao looked at Nightingale, then at Jiangnan, and blushed.
Foot massage?
You've got to be kidding me!
"P-popcorn, anyone?"
Jiangnan: !!!
Oh no, no, no!
They saw everything!
What about my dignity?!
"Uh... I just learned this! Want to try? Guaranteed bliss!"
(Author's note: Pleading for gifts! Even Lord Nan can't stop it!)
