I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 422, 1.27-3: A Bouquet of Blessings

"Can't I?" Afra looked at Mu Yegui pitifully and said aggrievedly.

Mu Yegui pondered for a moment, then stretched out her fingers and placed them on the corners of her pink lips, raising the corners of her mouth slightly upwards.

“No, no! That’s not how you laugh. It has to be a genuine laugh!” Afra shook her head and said.

"From the heart?" Mu Yegui asked, puzzled. What does it mean to be from the heart? Don't humans smile with their lips turned up like that?
"It still doesn't work..." Afra sighed helplessly.

Afra was not discouraged. Instead, she smiled at Mu Yegui and said, "Can we hold off for now? Let's wait until Shia learns to smile before we do it."

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback, then nodded, although she didn't think such a day could come.

Why does Mu Yin have emotions while she can't feel them?

She can make facial expressions, but she can't do expressions that are full of emotion.

Although she did have feelings, they were only very shallow emotions directed at herself; she was completely unable to feel the sadness or joy of others.

"Afra! Shia! I've found a huge tree hole!" Mipal pointed to the tree hole in front of him, which was even bigger than him, and shouted excitedly to the two of them.

“We’re coming right away!” Afra waved and shouted at Mipar.

Then she chuckled and took Mu Yegui's hand, saying, "Let's go."

Mu Yegui stopped after taking just one step forward, calmly surveying his surroundings.

"What's wrong?" Afra asked when she saw Mu Yegui looking around.

They sensed something following them. Although their abilities were weakened by 500%, their senses were still much more acute than those of ordinary people.

Her cool, silver eyes scanned her surroundings before suddenly fixing on a glimpse of exposed silver hair.

Jafar chuckled dryly as he stepped out, his handsome face carrying a hint of probing as he quietly asked, "Did I disturb you?"

"Why would a servant from the Shia family be here?" Afra asked in surprise.

Jafar scratched his head, his face contorted with worry as he pondered how to cover up being caught secretly following Mu Yegui. Could he say he was just worried about whether Mu Yegui would follow the rules properly? He felt like he'd get beaten up if he said that…

"The weather is really nice today, so I came out for a stroll..." His sea-blue eyes kept darting around, avoiding looking at anyone. It was obvious that he was lying, but his handsome face was adorned with a smile, revealing two cute little dimples, making it hard to call him out.

Afra took a few steps back and whispered in Mu Yegui's ear, "Speaking of which, the helper who came to your house a few days ago was really good-looking. That feeling between a boy and a young man, with a mature yet slightly naive air, he's simply the best among boys."

"Is Afra very interested in Jafar?" Mu Yegui asked calmly, his expression unchanged.

"After all, there's simply no boy as handsome as him in the town of Verlis. Even the best-looking girl, Mipar, can't compare to him. Plus, he's the right age, so all the girls in town are eyeing him, hoping to bump into him," Afra said with a laugh, nudging Mu Yegui with her elbow.

Seeing that Mu Yegui didn't respond, Jafar's smile gradually faded. He cautiously glanced at her and asked softly, "Is it... not allowed?"

With her cool, silver eyes fixed on Jafar, Mu Yegui pondered Jafar's intentions in following her. Perhaps he was afraid she would forget the rules and wanted to remind her constantly. Of course, if Jafar was the master of this instance, it wasn't impossible that he was monitoring her. After all, Jafar was ranked tenth on the instance master leaderboard, and he was right beside her when the instance opened; it wasn't impossible that it opened because of him.

but……

It's always better to have something in front of you than to keep it hidden.

In addition to the brief information he had heard before, that the mother's child had been captured by the papacy's messengers, and since it was related to the papacy, it must involve the Kingdom of the Unbelievable. Perhaps Dionysus himself would appear.

If that's the case, she would definitely be on the opposite side of the Papacy. Jafar was born in the capital city and was under Sher's command, so it's unlikely that she would be an enemy; they could even be allies.

Thinking of this, Mu Yegui stretched out his hand towards Jiafaer and said, "Come here."

Upon hearing Mu Yegui's words, Jiafa walked towards her with a big smile.

Afra looked at Jafar with curiosity but didn't say anything. She just pulled Muyegui and ran towards Mipar.

Jafar followed slowly behind the two with his hands behind his back. His bright smile vanished in an instant, and after his sea-blue eyes coldly swept around to make sure there were no uninvited guests, his sunny smile returned to his face.

No matter how pure Jafar may seem, he is not a naive or reckless person. After all, he is a top-ten dungeon master and also the first knight of the chief knight order under the Duke of Arrogance in the King's City, who stood out from the knight order at a young age.

Adhering to the eight principles of chivalry, every action is guided by the rules, and no one will be disgraced.

Even though he may appear young and impetuous, it's only on the surface. He is extremely calm and meticulous when it comes to serious matters, and there is no trace of impetuosity in him.

"Didn't Jiafa say he was in charge of housework? Why did he suddenly come out?" Mu Yegui slowed his pace and walked to Jiafa's side, asking softly.

“Actually…” Jafar suddenly blushed and whispered, “I’ve never used that broom-like thing before, so I wanted to ask how to use it.”

Having never cleaned before, Jafar was completely bewildered upon seeing the cleaning tools, utterly clueless about what to do. Back in the royal city, maids took care of the daily cleaning; he only needed to train and patrol the knightly order, never needing to do this kind of work.

Mu Yegui glanced at Jiafaer, whose face was flushed and seemed quite embarrassed.

"Then let's go back," Mu Yegui said.

Jafar paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's fine to clean up when we get back. There's no need to go back now. It's still eight hours before Madam returns home."

Mu Yegui grabbed Jiafa'er's wrist, his cool silver eyes fixed on him. "However, in my opinion, doing my job is more important than having fun."

“Then…” Jafar hesitated. He did not intend to disturb Mu Yegui, but if Mu Yegui insisted on going back, he would definitely not refuse his master.

"Afra, Mipar, something came up at home, so I might have to go back first. Let's go out again next time," Mu Yegui said softly to the two of them.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Go back now," Afra said with a helpless smile.

Mu Yegui nodded to the two of them, then took Jiafa'er's wrist and walked back.
