"Hehe, Mr. Dan Feng, look how fast we are! Aren't we super talented?" Tamiris showed Dan Feng the results of their several hours of labor with a full-faced smile, his words carrying a hint of pride.
The once mountain-high piles of dust and renovation debris inside the residence had all vanished. The floor had been wiped to a mirror-like shine; sunlight spilled across it, reflecting faint glimmers, and even the ceiling showed clear reflections.
All of this indicated that the floor had been cleaned spotlessly, achieving a true mirror-reflection effect.
Dan Feng nodded in satisfaction and said to Tamiris, "Mm, you've all worked hard. This is a tip for you." With that, he signed his name on the commission sheet, then took five Millis gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Tamiris.
These five Millis gold coins were trivial pocket change to Dan Feng, but he still decided to give them as a tip to Tamiris and the others.
On one hand, it was because their efficiency was indeed very high; on the other, it was because he appreciated the tacit understanding and teamwork they had displayed during the cleaning.
No matter what they did, these five people could coordinate seamlessly and methodically.
Dan Feng thought that if such a team could receive some financial support, they might have even greater room for development in the future.
So he treated these five gold coins as a kind of investment, hoping it would help them somehow.
If they didn't slack off, just this alone was enough to show that their future achievements would definitely be very high.
Because for an adventurer team, the most important thing was seamless coordination—so they could support each other in dangerous environments—followed only secondarily by the individual members' base abilities.
However, Dan Feng had noticed that the two magicians in their team had already reached the level of being able to cast intermediate magic. He had seen this when they used wind magic to clear dust.
Moreover, they were still very young. Becoming advanced magicians in the future was practically a done deal.
So when they reached C-rank, that might very well be the moment their fame exploded.
"This... so much!!!" Tamiris stared blankly at the five gold coins in his hand. He didn't understand why Dan Feng was giving him so many, so he looked at Dan Feng with puzzled eyes.
"Mr. Dan Feng, we can't accept these. The commission clearly stated only one gold coin, so please take these back!" Tamiris tried to return the gold coins to Dan Feng, but Dan Feng firmly refused.
"It's the first time I've heard someone say they don't like money. These are purely a gift for your high efficiency. I know very well how heavy the expenses are for a rookie adventurer team. You need these gold coins."
"If you're feeling uneasy, just look more at your teammates and take them out for something nice to eat." Dan Feng said coolly. After casually tossing the commission sheet to Tamiris, he let them leave.
As they came out, Tamiris was still immersed in Dan Feng's words. He turned back to look at his companions and realized that ever since they had started adventuring together, they seemed to have become much thinner—this was especially noticeable from the tank in their team.
"Captain, we've got so much money now! We can finally eat our fill!"
Their eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, radiating anticipation for a life where they no longer had to go hungry.
Tamiris gazed at his teammates' eyes sparkling with excitement, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.
He tightly gripped the five gold coins Dan Feng had given him and silently made a firm resolve.
"Let's go! The five of us are going to enjoy a proper, hearty feast!" Tamiris shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the air, brimming with expectation and excitement.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could lead his teammates to live a life free from want—just like Mr. Dan Feng!
"Yay~!" His teammates responded in unison. Their cheers were full of youthful vitality and passion.
Immediately after, this group of just-barely-adult youths dashed toward Millishion's main street like wild horses unleashed.
As Dan Feng watched their departing figures, a trace of doubt rose in his heart.
He turned back to where Roxy had been standing earlier, only to find the spot empty—Roxy was nowhere to be seen.
Dan Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled. Where exactly had Roxy gone?
Just as he was quietly pondering, a soft voice suddenly came from the living room.
"Dan Feng! This sofa is so soft!" It was Roxy's voice, carrying a hint of laziness and comfort.
Hearing this, Dan Feng quickly walked into the living room.
Sure enough, he saw Roxy lying on the sofa.
Her body was stretched out on the soft sofa, as if she had completely merged with this brand-new piece of furniture.
At this moment, Roxy was in an extremely lazy state, fully immersed in this comfortable environment.
Her boots had already been kicked off and tossed carelessly to the side, revealing the beautiful legs wrapped in black thigh-high socks.
The black socks formed a stark contrast with her fair skin, making her legs appear even more slender.
Seeing Roxy like this, Dan Feng thoroughly felt the warmth of home in his heart.
"How is it? Is it comfortable lying down?" Dan Feng sat at the position of Roxy's calves and asked.
Upon hearing him, Roxy opened her eyes, sat up, then wrapped her arms around Dan Feng's arm and said directly, "Very comfortable—it feels just like a bed."
As she hugged Dan Feng's arm, a thought suddenly flashed through Roxy's mind: "Since we've already come to the new house, after defeating the Human God, we can get married. But it seems like there hasn't been any substantial progress in my relationship with Dan Feng yet. If he won't take the initiative, then maybe I should make the first move..."
This idea made her heart beat faster involuntarily, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.
It was really because Dan Feng respected Roxy too much and wouldn't do anything outrageous, combined with his personality, which made him something of a dense straight man.
Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Roxy's mouth.
In a flash of inspiration, she cleverly used the momentum of her body to settle steadily onto Dan Feng's lap in a peculiar yet adorable duck-sitting posture.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Dan Feng was clearly a bit surprised by Roxy's action. He looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had suddenly sat on his lap.
Roxy's gaze met Dan Feng's. Her eyes sparkled brightly, as if the entire world now contained only him.
"Dan Feng, thank you..." she said softly, her voice carrying a trace of shyness and sincerity.
Dan Feng was drawn in by Roxy's gaze. He stared at her, momentarily at a loss.
Just as he was about to respond, Roxy—as if she had anticipated it—quickly extended a finger and gently pressed it against his lips.
"Shh~ I have something to do~" Roxy's tone carried a hint of playfulness and ambiguity, a complete contrast to her usual demeanor that couldn't help but stir the imagination.
Before her words even finished, her face tilted forward with purpose, slowly drawing closer to Dan Feng's.
Since Roxy was sitting on Dan Feng, their faces were at just the right height. The angle of the kiss was perfect, as if it were fated.
