Chapter 1026: 1026
Feng Zi was awakened from her sleep by the smell of Yuxiang shredded pork. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Heng sitting at the table eating his food. The sight and smell of the food almost made her drool. Then, suddenly, she yelled, “Where is my food?! Did you buy me some?”
“Well, I also bought you a set.”
Zhang Heng then placed another lunch box opposite him.
Feng Zi quickly got up from the bed. “I’m starving to death. I stayed with you all night. Not only did I skip dinner, but I also didn’t have breakfast.”
“You have been sleeping a long time.” Zhang Heng handed out a pair of disposable chopsticks to Feng Zi.
The latter took the chopsticks and opened the lunch box as quickly as possible. She took a whiff of the food in front of her, and at the same time, she did not forget to ask about F.
“Where is the woman with mechanical prosthesis and great temperament?”
“Well, she had gone back to where she came from.” Zhang Heng said.
“Speaking of which, what is the relationship between you and her?” Feng Zi curiously asked, “When you had your surgery, she stood by the door, and she didn’t drink or eat. It looks like she cares about you a lot.”
“We are just friends. She has a fiancé, and he is the man that we saw in the garden last night.”
“That dwarf?” Feng Zi raised her eyebrows. “His name is Mr. G, right? I don’t like him. And judging from the scene when they met last night, I don’t see any love in the woman’s eyes. But I can see that the man loves her very much. Does their relationship make you feel a little awkward?”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhang Heng frowned.
Feng Zi did not mind the low-cut shirt that she was wearing. She leaned close towards Zhang Heng and said in a low voice, “She is your friend, but you want to kill her fiancé, right?”

“…”
Zhang Heng then put down his chopsticks, and for the first time, felt how magical a woman’s sixth sense was.
“Look, I was right?” Feng Zi sat back triumphantly.
“No, I told you to stop thinking nonsense.” Zhang Heng said casually.
“You lied. The woman in the red dress at the bar was gorgeous, and you pinned her hand to the table with a knife without any hesitation. Why are you hesitating to deal with a not very good-looking man now?”
“I don’t kill based on how someone looks,” Zhang Heng said helplessly.
“That being said, most men would hesitate to hurt a good-looking woman.” Feng Zi split the chopsticks and rubbed them against each other to get rid of the splinters. “You are such a weird man, but I have to say that you are very good to your friends. Forget it, I won’t sleep with you for now, mainly because I’m afraid that I can’t help but think about your brain when you’re lying in bed… I have to admit, no matter how good-looking you are, it’s not very attractive to see your brains exposed.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Heng finished his last bite of the meal and threw the lunch box into the trash can at his feet.
After that, they heard a knock on the door. Zhang Heng opened the door and saw the driver who picked them up at the station last night. The latter greeted him politely and took out three bracelets.
“Mr. G asked me to come. The new citizen IDs you asked for are ready. These identities belonged to some dead guys. Rest assured, as long as no one digs deep into them, you will be fine. Other than that, payment and personal verification functions are also available. When you want to use those functions, you can activate them with your fingerprint. Of course, this is only temporary. When that day comes, you, me, and everyone can live freely under the sun.”

“Thank you.” Zhang Heng took the three bracelets and tossed one of them to Feng Zi. He then activated the bracelet on the spot and put the other bracelet away. After that, he noticed that the driver did not leave.
“Anything else?”
“Oh, Mr. G also said that he would like to welcome you to join us.”
“His welcome is well received by me.”

“Are you available now? I can drive you around the city to get a better understanding of what we are doing. And you can meet and greet the others.” The driver did not expect Zhang Heng to agree after seeing the tension between him and Mr. G last night. Hence, he expected Zhang Heng would refuse Mr. G’s arrangement without hesitation. Instead, Zhang Heng nodded.”
Okay. Anyway, I’m recovering from my surgery. It’ll do me well to go out for a walk.”
“I want to go too!” Feng Zi, on the other side, also shouted. After the nap, she, too, seemed to have rejuvenated. And she did not seem to be bothered by her current situation. However, she had now obtained a new identity. Thanks to what happened last night, she could no longer go back to her past life. It was no longer possible to step foot on the second level anymore. Although she had many friends there, she did not look like she was bothered by the fact that she could not meet them again. She quickly finished the food in her lunch box and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
“Welcome. We always welcome new blood to join us,” The driver said.
The three entered the black MPV, but this time, in the passenger seat was no longer Director Zheng, but Zhang Heng.
The driver introduced himself to them while driving, and Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard his code name.
“You are Black. Were you the one that told Miss F about the situation here last night?”
Black nodded and confessed. “That was me.”
“Aren’t you afraid of ending up like the man you guys tied up and tossed into the car last night?”
“Why say that?” Black looked a little puzzled, and he said in a solemn voice, “He is a traitor and Shengtang Morgan Group bought him over. He deserves to die. I just told Miss F what happened here in accordance with her request.”
“Even if Mr. G wants you to keep it a secret?”
“Miss F is not an outsider.”
“Oh, because she is Mr. G’s fiancé?”
“No. That’s not the reason. Of course, everyone is thrilled to see them finally get together, especially Mr. G. Everyone has seen his contribution to this cause. That’s not why we trust Miss F. The reason why we trust her is that she is a very trustworthy companion.”
“Is that right?” Zhang Heng’s eyes flickered, “Is this thought personal, or do the others think the same of her as well?”
“As far as I know, most people do.”
“How strange. I thought she’s usually distant and a woman with very few words. She doesn’t have too many friends too.”
“Actions are more powerful than words. Indeed, when she first came, everyone thought she was difficult to get along with. And Mr. G took her very seriously. At that time, there were some, uh… rumors.
“Although Mr. G’s statement was very firm, those rumors did not disappear. As time passed, more and more people saw the beating heart under her cold shell and saw what she liked. At that time, we started to accept her as one of us, especially among the young people. The boys secretly admired her, and girls imitated her. The more you understood her, the more you couldn’t resist her charm. That’s why she is the perfect match for Mr. G.”

Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021

Your Mundane Transmigration Into Another World
My second fiction here, it might be similar to the first, but I will focus on improving consistency as it was not very good. The idea is to make a completely ordinary isekai story, but make it right - no cliche, some originality etc. I do not yet know where it will go, but it will involve dungeons at some point, transmigraiton, demons, elves, humans, undead. I will strive for regular updates every friday, but my writing speed is that of a slime (not a native speaker), so I might not deliver every week. Feel free to write what you think, I welcome feedback. HIATUS - will continue after I am done with my other book, I am unable to write two at the same time.
