13 Chapter-13 Moving Forward

" Thanks for telling me." After having that talk with Jenny, he could finally understand some extent of his aunt's suffering.

" Hope you take better care of her in the future." After saying what she needed to tell him, she didn't overstay her welcome and left, leaving Zhao Feng alone on the rooftop.

' Don't worry I'll take care of her and …those who have hurt her.'

" Feng, what are you doing here?" His thought process was broken with his aunt's voice.

" Nothing aunt, I was getting bored of waiting, so I came to the rooftop."

" Alright, let's go. We are done here."

" Did they agree?"

" Yep, now I'm free."

" Aunt, I have to go somewhere, I'll call you later at night." He already had someone waiting for him in the parking lot.

" Hmm, take care of yourself." They both exited the building with each other, then they both went their separate ways, Jia left for her apartment while Zhao Feng went onto the parking lot, where Meng Yue was already waiting for him in the car.

"So, did they let aunty go?" asked Meng Yue, who was sitting along with Zhao Feng while hugging his arm.

"Yah, they did let her go easily." Zhao Feng had also expected some conflict but that never happened.

"That's good for them but hubby, why are you so serious?" Meng Yue noticed that from the moment he had arrived in the car, he had been looking a little absentminded.

"I was thinking about my aunt."

"Did something happen to her?"

"No, let me tell you from the start, when I was in coma-..." Zhao Feng narrated all the stories of her aunt's suffering.

"Those basta*d! Hubby, why don't I deal with them? " Meng Yue was fuming in anger after learning Jia's past

"No, no, I'll make them pay with my own hands." said Zhao Feng in an emotionless tone.

"Hmm."

"Hubby! Why are you going back to the dungeon?" He was barely able to walk yesterday, and now he is going back again.

"To get stronger."

"Nope, you aren't." How could she let him go back so easily after seeing his state yesterday.

" Why so?"

"You haven't explained why you were injured?" She wasn't going to let him go to the dungeon again until he gave her the explanation.

Hmm, well, I was injured fighting the boss." Zhao Feng said this in a casual manner.

"..."

Screech*

Changming stopped the car in the middle of the road.

"What did you say?" She turned around, looking at him like he had revealed the biggest secret of the world.

"I was fighting the boss."

"Crazy! " She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Why are you overreacting? With your strength, you could one shot that monster." He was sure that anyone with a little more strength would one shot that rat.

"Because I'm a C rank player and you are an 'F' rank player."

"So, what? " He still didn't understand what was so special about fighting as 'F' rank boss.

Looking at his confused state, Meng Yue decided to explain, "Hubby? You know that the boss of the dungeon is one rank above the level of the dungeon." She might not be a player, but it was common knowledge about any dungeon.

' Oh! That makes sense now. That's why he was alive even after that.' He was sure that with his strength, the dagger should have pierced his skull but couldn't.

"Explain every part of the fight." Changming wanted to know every detail about the fight; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rest properly.

" Yes, Yes, hubby, explain." Now she also wanted to know about his fight.

" Well, when I was around his territory, he noticed my presence and came after-...." He briefed them about his fight, which Meng Yue and Changming listened to with great concentration, not missing any part of it.

"Hubby, you know that a normal F- rank can't even react to the boss rat speed; heck, even some E rankers can't react properly to its speed, then it raises the question; how were you able to do it?"

' He already has skills.' From the fight, she could easily tell that the sudden increase in his speed was due to his skill.

"Well, I predicted most of his movements."

' Fuck! He can even predict, is he some kind of war god reincarnation?' Changming was getting one shock after another from the man she deemed interesting.

" You are crazy!" That's the best she could do to sum up the whole situation.

' Hubby? Teach me also how to do it." Meng Yue had a sparkle in her eyes. How cool it would be to know something before your enemies could do anything.

"Alright, but what's your rank?" He knew that she had awakened but never got the chance to ask her rank.

" Huh? What's my rank? Hubby, I'm not a player."

" Huh?" Zhao Feng looked at the confused Meng Yue and she looked at the confused Feng.

"Sigh.. Feng, Yue is not a player."

" But- "

" She isn't." Changming pleaded with her eyes not to continue on the subject.

" Yue, I'm thinking I should rent myself a house, do you know any good places?"

" Hubby, why don't you come live with us? We already have a house ready in the Fengfeng district."

"No, I can't always be dependent on you." From the moment he woke up, all the heavy duty work was done under Meng Yue's influence.

" But what is mine is yours."

"My pride won't allow it." He was the man of the family, it was his duty to provide for the family, not the other way around.

"So tell me, where will you live?" He wanted to know if she was coming with him or not.

"Of course I'm coming." How could she live without him now that they are finally making some progress in their relationship.

" Good. Let's go to the dungeon, then we'll look for the house later."

After their little talk, the rest of the journey was smooth. They quickly reached the dungeon, after which, they both went their separate ways.

Inside the dungeon, Zhao Feng killed a lot of the matagot during his time there but didn't bother to fight with the boss, after which he quickly exited it. When he came out, Meng Yue was waiting for him.

"Good work, hubby." She was relieved to see him without any injuries.

He walked closer to her, then gave her a peck on the lips.

"Thanks for worrying about me."

" hmm." Meng Yue just nodded, still adjusting to the feeling of getting a kiss.

"So do you know any good places to sell mana stones? "

"Well, the prices given on the open market are much better, but it'll take time to sell to the buyer. The prices offered by the association are still good if you are in a hurry. They even have an exchange centre here, we can go there."

"Hmm, let's go to the exchange centre." He didn't have the patience to search for the buyer.

At the exchange booth,

"Sir, your total comes down to 58,000 yen. Will you take a card or deposit?" asked a woman dressed in a professional suit.

"Give me a card." He didn't have any accounts in the bank to take the other option.

"Alright, sir, give me a minute."

"The password is 7537." After a minute, she gave him the card with money on it.

After exchanging most of his mana stones for the money, he exited the area.

"How did it go?" asked Meng Yue, who was waiting for him outside.

"Well, I got 58k for it, that should be enough for a good house.. Where is Changming? "

"I sent her back."

" Why?"

" I didn't want to depend on anyone except my husband," said Meng Yue with a small smile.

For the first time, Zhao Feng was truly mesmerised by her smile; he kept thinking of her smiling face when he heard Meng Yue's voice.

"Let's go; we have a house to buy." Meng Yue was standing a little distance away from him while he was standing in a daze.

" C-Coming."

To Be Continued…

" Hubby, are you sure that after donating all the power stones, I'll know how to predict my opponent's movements?"

" Wifey, you know I'll never lie to you. Just press the vote button."
