When he finished creating the dungeon and left the design of the dungeon to Rokuko, it was already getting dark. So Lin Fan headed back to the place that he was staying in the village.
It was Duanmu Yi’s house that he was staying in.
The villagers naturally offered him a much bigger and private residence, but Lin Fan hadn’t wanted to live there because most of these residences had once belonged to the bandits.
He didn’t know what he would find in those houses, but he wasn’t that eager to look through them.
So in the end, he chose to stay with Duanmu Yi.
There was nothing wrong with choosing to stay with a cute girl.
But before they could stay, the first thing that they had to do was clean out Duanmu Yi’s house. Her mother had been “sick” for a long time, so the house had become quite dirty since no one had been able to clean it.
Duanmu Yi had tried her best, but between taking care of her mother and working to feed the two of them, she hadn’t been able to clean like she would want to.
So Lin Fan and the two girls came in and cleaned up the entire house in just a single day.
It now looked completely different from how it was before.
As well, after giving Duanmu Yi a proper bath, she also looked like a different person. Gone was the messy hair and dirty clothes and now her skin shined even more, just like fair white jade.
As for Duanmu Yi’s mother, she had been slowly recovering over the past few days.
She was no longer unconscious all the time like she had been before. Now she was able to wake up from time to time and talk to Lin Fan and the others.
Of course, the first time that she woke up, Lin Fan and the two girls had left her alone with Duanmu Yi to give this mother and daughter pair some private time together.
But most of the time, she was still too weak to get out of bed.
Even if Lin Fan had neutralized the poison that she had been afflicted with, it had been inside of her body for a long time, so it was impossible for her to recover right away. She needed some time to rest her body before she was able to return to normal.
But just by recovering a bit, she looked completely different from how she looked before.
Her skin was no longer pale, but rather a healthy snow white colour. The dark circles that had been under her eyes were gone and her finely carved face was completely revealed. Then there were her eyes, gone was the look of despair and what was replaced were clear eyes that were filled with hope. With her perfect features, it was no wonder where Duanmu Yi’s cuteness came from.
In fact, Lin Fan had to admit that even with just this, Duanmu Yi’s mother was already the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen before. None of the girls that he had ever met before could compare to her.
When Lin Fan arrived at the house, he found that the girls and Xiao Yi were back from helping in the fields and had just walked out of the bath.
Seeing the way they looked after coming out of the showers, there was a tiny flame that was ignited inside of Lin Fan. But of course, with Xiao Yi here, he immediately suppressed that flame and greeted them with a smile.
However, to his surprise, it was Xiao Yi who greeted him first.
She ran forward and threw herself into his arms as she said, “Young master Lin, you’re back. Xiao Yi missed you.”
Lin Fan was surprised to see how forward she was being, but of course, he just treated her like a child and patted her head as he took her in his embrace. He asked, “Xiao Yi, did you have a good day today?”
Xiao Yi rubbed her head against his chest as she said, “Yes, it was a fun day helping everyone.”
Lala and Xiao Yue just smiled as they watched the two of them like this.
Just like with Lin Fan, they weren’t able to resist Xiao Yi’s cuteness.
Then to all of their surprises, they realized that there was a fragrant smell in the air.
As they were trying to figure out where this fragrant smell came from, Duanmu Ming Yue, Xiao Yi’s mother came out of the kitchen with a pot in her hand.
Xiao Yi immediately jumped out of Lin Fan’s arms and ran over to help her mother as she said in a worried voice, “Mom, why are you out of bed? You haven’t recovered yet, you shouldn’t be moving around.”
Duanmu Ming Yue said with a laugh that was like an oriole chirping, “Xiao Yi, you should know that won’t be enough to keep your mom down.”
She went over to the table to put down the pot that she was holding before picking Xiao Yi up and putting a kiss on her cheeks.
Xiao Yi tried struggling, but she couldn’t win against her mother, so she just let her do what she wanted.
After teasing Xiao Yi, Duanmu Ming Yue came over to Lin Fan and took his hand before saying, “Come, come, my saviour, come and have a taste of my cooking.”
When he felt her take his hand, Lin Fan felt like there was a rush of lightning that filled him. The perfect feeling that came from this hand, it was not something that could be described in words.
But he also quickly shook his head and stopped himself.
After all, this was a married woman who already had a daughter. No matter how beautiful she was, it wasn’t as if he was going to try anything.
Just after a cough, he followed Duanmu Ming Yue over to the table.
Looking and taking a sniff of the dishes, he couldn’t help saying, “Whoever marries you really is a lucky man.”
Duanmu Ming Yue revealed a sad look when she heard this and Lin Fan quickly realized his mistake. He gave another cough before waving his hand at the other girls and saying, “Come, come, let’s all enjoy this delicious meal together.”
The girls quickly came over and helped themselves, breaking up the tension in the air.
It had to be said, Duanmu Ming Yue’s cooking was just too delicious. Lin Fan had never had anything like it in his life and it was clearly the same for Lala and Xiao Yue.
By the end of the meal, all of the food had been completely cleaned up and even the dishes were licked clean.
After that delicious meal, the only thing that was left was for them to head to bed.
Lin Fan and the two girls didn’t want to bother the Duanmu mother and daughter, so they just slept in a single room together. However, since they were in someone else’s house, it wasn’t as if they were about to get on with their business, so they just fell asleep quite quickly.
In the middle of the night, the door to Lin Fan’s room slowly opened as a small figure came into the room.
This small figure walked up to the bed that Lin Fan and the two girls were sleeping on and then after a glare at the two girls, the small figure turned its gaze onto Lin Fan.
The small figure came closer and closer to Lin Fan until their faces were almost touching and that was where this small figure stayed for a while, admiring Lin Fan’s face.
Duanmu Yi whispered to herself, “Young master Lin, young master Lin…It’s you, it’s definitely you. You are the guiding light in my life, the one and only shining beacon. You are my everything.”
After whispering this to herself a few times, she started thinking about something else, “Lin Yi, Lin Yi, how beautiful that sounds…”
She had been completely lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice that another figure had come in from behind her. That was until the figure suddenly grabbed her by the waist while also putting a hand over her mouth.
Duanmu Yi immediately panicked and struggled since she thought she was being attacked, but she found that she wasn’t able to do a single thing against the one who grabbed her.
,m However, her struggle quickly came to an end when she heard a voice ringing in her ear, “Xiao Yi, it’s me.”
When she turned around, she found that it was her mother standing beside her.
After being shocked for a few seconds, her face suddenly turned red and she tried to explain what she was doing here, but her mother cut her off by saying, “It’s fine, aren’t you here for the same reason I am?”
Duanmu Yi was surprised, but then she realized that something was strange.
That was right, this was young master Lin’s room. So why was her mother here as well?
Also, did she just say that she was here for the same reason?
Duanmu Ming Yue saw the confused look on Duanmu Yi’s face and patted her on the head before saying, “You’re here to secretly peek on young master Lin, aren’t you?”
Duanmu Yi’s face turned red when she was exposed like this, but she still asked, “Mom, why are you also sneaking around like this?”
Duanmu Ming Yue revealed a faint smile and said, “Xiao Yi, how would you like a new papa?”
