"Hmm? Barbara, what did you say?"
Feng Yi didn't clearly hear Barbara's faint voice, so he quickly asked again.
"I... I..."
Barbara opened her mouth several times but couldn't say it.
She clenched her small pink fists, as if cheering herself on, mustering the courage to speak.
Feng Yi thought Barbara was just playing with him, so he turned to leave.
Seeing this, Barbara knew there was no time to hesitate. She got up and jumped directly onto Feng Yi, covering Feng Yi's bewildered mouth with her soft lips.
Feng Yi felt Barbara's.... and immediately froze in place, looking at Barbara, who was hanging on him, in disbelief.
"Barbara, are you serious?"
Feng Yi asked Barbara, whose face was flushed red.
"Mhm, Feng Yi, please be gentle..."
Barbara's legs wrapped around Feng Yi's waist, her head buried in his chest, she replied shyly in a soft voice.
Feng Yi couldn't believe that such a shy girl would do something so brave.
Feng Yi gently placed Barbara on the bed, .......
However, the bloodstains on her panties quickly brought Feng Yi back to his senses.
"Barbara, are you on your period?"
Feng Yi helped Barbara put her panties back on.
"Mhm~ But it's okay, I'm not afraid of pain!"
Barbara said bravely.
Recalling the bits and pieces of their time together these past few days, she had finally made up her mind to confess her feelings to Feng Yi today.
"It's not about whether it hurts or not. I have to consider your health. Waiting a few more days is fine!"
Feng Yi brought the Prayer Priestess dress to help Barbara put it on, then gently patted her head and said.
Barbara and Jean were indeed sisters, their menstrual cycles were so coincidental.
However, from another perspective, when the sisters had sleepovers in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about one of them being on their period.
But this was just Feng Yi's wishful thinking. Whether he could persuade Jean and Barbara to accept this was still a question.
"Mhm, then I'll listen to you, Feng Yi. Can you stay with me a little longer?"
Barbara hugged Feng Yi's neck and said playfully.
Feng Yi refused her childishness. Although Barbara was a bit disappointed, from another perspective, this meant Feng Yi cared about her and worried about her health, so she felt happy.
Feng Yi didn't refuse and stayed there playing with Barbara until evening.
During this time, inspired by Feng Yi, ....... they spent a very happy afternoon.
As they parted, Barbara's eyes were brimming with tears as she reluctantly waved goodbye to Feng Yi.
"I'm just going home, not back to my country. Don't make it like a final farewell, cheer up..."
Feng Yi pinched Barbara's baby-like, bouncy cheeks and comforted her with a smile.
"Mhm, see you tomorrow, Feng Yi!"
Barbara nodded and reluctantly withdrew her gaze only after Feng Yi's figure disappeared.
As for Feng Yi, as soon as he returned to the tavern, he saw Venti, who was once again freeloading at his place.
Amber, who was tending the shop, looked helpless. Venti shamelessly wanted to exchange singing for wine. Just as Amber didn't know how to handle it, Feng Yi thankfully returned.
"That's how it is, Feng Yi. What do you think we should do?"
Amber explained the general situation to Feng Yi for him to decide.
"Venti, as a friend, I'll give you a chance to exchange for wine, on the condition that you help me find some rare materials. The more you find, the more wine I'll treat you to. How about it?"
Feng Yi wrote down the list he had given to Dori for Venti as well.
This included high-quality milk and eggs for making ice cream, as well as materials for the delayed-action potion given to him by Lisa.
As long as Venti brought back one item, he wouldn't be at a loss!
"Deal!"
Venti took the list and immediately agreed with joy.
"What a coincidence, I happen to have some materials on the list. Feng Yi, how much fine wine can this get me?"
Venti took out an inconspicuous small bag from his waist and poured out a table full of rare materials. Materials for the delayed-action potion, such as the teeth of a twilight wolf, and the penis of a third-born tigress, Venti actually took out several portions at once.
Didn't Lisa say these materials were very rare?
Feng Yi was bewildered.
Venti: Heh, what a coincidence. Over the years, after waking up, I've traveled around and liked to collect some useless things.
Who knew Feng Yi actually needed these useless materials? Wasn't this like giving him wine for free?
Truly a good brother. He, Venti, was determined to be friends with this person!
"Brother Di, what do you want to drink? Order anything you like today. I'm paying!"
Feng Yi collected the materials on the table. Later, when he went to help Lisa with her massage, he could ask her to help process them.
"Hmm... Feng Yi, I heard your tavern has a hidden menu? I wonder if, hehe..."
Venti chuckled. He finally found an opportunity today. If he didn't drink to his heart's content, how could it be?
"Understood, please wait!"
Feng Yi nodded. It was just adding a drop of diluted Life Water, wasn't it?
Feng Yi generously gave him a quarter of a drop... No, he gave him a quarter of a drop!
After mixing Life Water into the drinks Diona had prepared, he handed them to the eager Venti.
"Wow, is this the legendary hidden drink? It's really different. It smells so nourishing, ah-choo~"
Venti sneezed while indulging in the intoxicating aroma of the hidden drink.
Feng Yi watched for a long time. Venti just kept smelling the drink and didn't take a sip, which made Feng Yi, who was watching, impatient.
Feng Yi simply ignored him, pulled up a small stool, and sat at the entrance of the tavern, waiting for Yuanbao and the others to return with fried fish.
"Daddy, Daddy, look, isn't the fish Yuanbao roasted cute?"
Half an hour later, Yuanbao returned with Qiqi, Klee, and Paimon, who was freeloading again, having fried fish.
"Mhm, cute, cute, Yuanbao is so amazing!"
Yuanbao's bright, sparkling eyes were full of pride. Her dirty little face was filled with an expression of seeking praise.
Feng Yi wiped the nearly dry mud from Yuanbao's face and then patted her little head, praising her.
For children, a casual word of praise from an adult could make them happy for days.
Feng Yi naturally knew this very well.
"Hehe, Yuanbao, please let Daddy eat the roasted fish!"
Yuanbao, who had received Feng Yi's praise, was extremely happy and gave her hard work's result to the daddy who praised her.
"Klee... Klee also helped..."
Klee, seeing Yuanbao being praised, was extremely envious. She quickly came out to say that she had also helped, and this fish was fried by her.
"Mhm, Klee is also amazing!"
Feng Yi smiled and patted Klee's little head, also giving her a compliment.
"Qiqi, also, helped..."
"Paimon also wants praise!"
