Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord - Chapter 169: Nicole’s Request

Chirp chirp.

A clear, pleasant, and familiar voice rang out in the early morning.

“Yawn~” Liu Feng let out a long and lazy yawn, startling the little guests resting by the window. “It’s only seven… uh, today seems to be the day Mina and Weya are set to depart.”

Liu Feng blinked groggily, turning his head to look outside the door and was met with a pair of blue eyes. His lips slightly curved up, and he asked, “Are you ready?”

“Ready!” Mina lay by the bedside, her blue eyes fixated on Liu Feng. She was currently dressed in a camouflage outfit that Liu Feng had brought from Earth.

“Be careful and don’t do anything reckless. Just retreat temporarily if you can’t make things work out,” Liu Feng cautioned. He was afraid Mina was too straightforward and might get tricked again.

“Hehehe… I’m not Tess, I’m not that stupid,” Mina chuckled, covering her mouth, her blue eyes forming crescent moons. She had heard from Tess about her experiences, She had been fooled over and over again. If not for the goddess of luck watching over her, she would probably have been sold off by someone and still count money for them.

“Hey hey hey… Mina, I’m not stupid.” Tess’s loud voice came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Tess walked in carrying a baseball bat, followed by the slightly nervous Weya, Anri, and Nicole.

“Good morning, my lord!” Weya greeted nervously. She was also wearing a camouflage suit and was also carrying a camouflage backpack, which Liu Feng had brought from Earth the previous night.

“Good morning!” Liu Feng lazily greeted them and looked at Mina and Weya. He smiled lightly, saying, “I won’t see you off. Just remember to come back early.”

His tone made it sound like they were just going out for a few hours of fun, causing Mina and Weya to involuntarily display charming smiles.

“Yes!” Weya and Mina nodded in unison.

“Farewell, Mina. You can go in peace. I will protect Young Master,” Tess said, hoisting the baseball bat onto her shoulder. It was made of pure steel, and she had immediately taken a liking to it when she had been in the inner vault the previous night.

“…” The crowd’s mouths twitched at those words. Why does it sound off?

“We’re leaving!” Mina nodded, her blue eyes staring blankly at Liu Feng. Suddenly, to everyone’s surprise-

“Mmm!” Mina pounced towards Liu Feng, their lips meeting and intertwined.

With a gust of fragrant wind, Mina blushed and dragged the bewildered Weya out of the room. Then, under the escort of the 4 War Wolf members waiting outside, they entered the Forbidden Mountains.

It would take two days to reach Weya’s tribe from West Sun City, and these 4 War Wolf members would only escort them for half of the first day. After that, they would go to complete the secret mission Liu Feng had assigned them.

Inside the room, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie. 3 pairs of eyes of various colors were staring at Liu Feng’s lips.

“Damn it!” Anri, who had been feeling a bit down because Mina was leaving, instantly exploded. Her fox ears stood up straight, and she shouted, “That cat Mina is too cunning.”

Previously, when she had kissed Liu Feng on the lips, she had felt proud for a while. Now, the jealousy that she was feeling was making her go mad, and she also pounced towards Liu Feng- only to be lifted up into the air.

“Hey hey? Anri, what are you doing?” Tess’s purple eyes narrowed slightly reached out and lifted Anri by the back of her collar, holding her up in the air like a little puppy.

“I’m not trying to do anything? I just… um… I just want to help Young Master dress, yes, just help Young Master dress.” Anri’s mind worked quickly, immediately coming up with the perfect excuse.

“Is that so?” Nicole, who was squinting beside them, dealt the finishing blow. “Anri, it doesn’t seem like you’re tall enough!”

“…” It was as if someone had hit the pause button for Anri. The next moment, she flailed her limbs, pouting and shouting, “Damn it! I will grow taller!”

“It seems quite difficult!” Tess muttered.

“Hey hey! I heard that, you big cow! I, I…” Anri didn’t know what to say. I don’t have anything better than her… am I supposed to bring up my intelligence?

“Yawn…” Liu Feng yawned, and smiled faintly as he watched the interaction between the beastgirls. What a lively interaction early in the morning. It’s another day full of energy.

“Young Master, are you getting up? The Drunken Night Restaurant is in the afternoon today!” Nicole said softly.

“Well, let’s have breakfast and lunch later at the Drunken Night Restaurant. Let’s see much of your skills they’ve learned,” Liu Feng chuckled.

“Mhmm! You’ll be the judge of it,” Nicole smiled playfully.

The chefs at the Drunken Night Restaurant had all assisted the chefs in the castle’s kitchen, and they had learned a bit of stuff from Nicole over time. When the Drunken Night Restaurant was preparing to open, they had been transferred there to work as chefs.

“Then I’ll look forward to it a little!” Liu Feng opened his arms, letting Nicole help him change clothes.

After washing up, the four of them set off, riding in a luxurious carriage toward the Drunken Night Restaurant, escorted by the other 4 members of the War Wolves.

Inside the carriage, Liu Feng rested his head on Tess’s thigh. So this is the legendary knee pillow. I finally get to experience it.

“Young Master, I, I…” Nicole suddenly spoke, a bit hesitant.

“Go on, what do you want?” Liu Feng yawned, curious about what request the usually calm and gentle Nicole would make.

“It’s… it’s…” Nicole opened her mouth, still struggling to get the words out.

“Let me say it…” Anri couldn’t bear it anymore and stood up to speak, but Nicole quickly covered her mouth.

“Young Master, we want… want to open a pizza shop on Commercial Street,” Nicole hurriedly said. She had discussed this with the other girls, and Nicole would be in charge.

“Sure, you can choose the shop yourselves,” Liu Feng said calmly. I thought it was something major, but it turned out to be just opening a pizza shop. The commoners of West Sun City may not be willing to spend a copper coin or more on pizza, so sales might not be as booming as with the bun store for now…

“Yay!” Anri, Nicole, and Tess cheered. They had all fallen in love with pizza after having eaten it once.

The significance of opening a shop was to share good food, and of course, it would be even better if they could earn some money along the way.

In the end, whatever they did was following Liu Feng’s general plan, and it would only be a matter of time before a pizza shop would be opened.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the coachman’s voice came from outside, “My lord, we’ve arrived at the Drunken Night Restaurant!”
