After Klein and others left, Jiang Feng and Tongzi also planned to go home. When they returned home, Xing was still sitting on the sofa waiting for them.

Perhaps because it was too late, Xing had fallen asleep on the sofa. Jiang Feng walked over, gently picked up Xing in a princess hug and prepared to take her back to her room.

"Well, Jiang Feng, you guys are back."

As soon as Jiang Feng picked up Xing, Xing woke up, rubbed his eyes, and said sleepily: "How is Jiang Feng, have you finished your work?"

Jiang Feng lowered his head and rubbed Xing's forehead, saying, "It's done. Didn't I tell you to go to bed early and not to wait for me? Why are you still outside? Are you disobeying me?"

"No, I'm just worried about you." Xing said coquettishly in a slightly charming voice.

"Puff, hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

Watching the interaction between Jiang Feng and Xing, Tongzi, who was following behind Jiang Feng, burst out laughing.

Xing woke up instantly, "Ah!!! Jiang Feng, why didn't you tell me earlier that Tongzi was here? I just...ah!!! I am too embarrassed to see anyone."

Xing seemed to be broken and had a look of despair on her face. The reason why Xing reacted so strongly was that although Kiriko also had a room here, she didn't live here often.

After having his good friends see his face like this, Xing really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Okay, Yuki. It's no big deal. It's just Kiriko. She's not an outsider."

"That's right. I'm not an outsider. Xing's behavior just now was really interesting."

"Tongzi, you still keep talking! I'm going to ignore you guys."

After saying that, Xing jumped out of Jiang Feng's arms and went back to her room on her own.

After watching Xing return to the room, Jiang Feng said to Tongzi, "Tongzi, you should also go to bed early. It's already very late."

"Then I'll go to bed too, good night."

"Good night."

Time flies, and soon it is January 2024, . Jiang Feng has been paying attention to the news about the Killing Guild [Smiling Coffin] recently. According to the original work, the Killing Guild [Smiling Coffin] was established today.

Unfortunately, there was no news after asking around, not even any information about the identity of the mysterious man who had been used as bait.

Jiang Feng sighed, "It seems that we really have to wait until there is a murder in the circle before we can catch them."

During this period of time, Jiang Feng had been a little slack, and the boost that Aincrad could bring to Jiang Feng was getting smaller and smaller. Jiang Feng also began to shift his focus and concentrated on completing the remaining tasks.

Apart from the final mission, there are only two left: the Dragon Slayer and the Smiling Coffin. There is no clue about the Smiling Coffin yet. The Quartz Dragon is on the 55th floor, and there is no rush for players to conquer the 50th floor now.

Jiang Feng, on the contrary, became more relaxed. He had nothing to do every day. He stayed in his own little nest and played and fought with Qizmaier, having a great time.

But Xing seemed to be worried about something. On a sunny afternoon in February, Jiang Feng was enjoying a nap on Xing's lap on the grass by the lake.

"Xing, you seem a little absent-minded recently. Is there something on your mind?" Jiang Feng reached out and stroked Xing's face.

"No, it's nothing."

Jiang Feng pinched Xing's little face and said, "Why do you still want to hide it from me? Tell me, I will solve it for you."

Xing pondered for a moment, and finally spoke out the matter that had been bothering him for a long time, "Jiang Feng, how long do you think it will take to conquer Aincrad?"

"It's been less than a year, and the speed of the strategy team is getting faster and faster."

Xing reached out and held Jiang Feng's hand and said, "Less than a year?"

"Jiang Feng, you know, I was very scared before, and I was always hoping that someone would clear Aincrad and let me return to reality."

"But the life I'm living now makes me intoxicated. I'm eager to return to reality, but I also miss the life here. I'm so conflicted. Jiang Feng, what should I do?"

Jiang Feng held Xing's hand tightly and said, "Do you want me to join the raiders to conquer Aincrad or do you want me to stay here with you? Of course, I will support you no matter what you choose."

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea? The Raiders Group is so dangerous, what if something happens to you? As for staying with me, you said that a man should go out and explore the world. The outside world is your world."

Jiang Feng got up from Xing's legs and said to Xing, "Xing, you should know that those monsters in the strategy group are not worth mentioning to me, but if you want me to join the strategy group, we will conquer Aincrad as soon as possible. Our relationship will not change after returning to reality, right?"

Xing seemed to have made up his mind, "Go ahead, Jiang Feng. Men can't stay at home all the time. I believe you will conquer Aincrad with my feelings. I will definitely go back to find you when we return to reality!"

Jiang Feng kissed Xing gently on the lips, "Then hurry up and get ready. I'll leave as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Xing returned to the room to prepare supplies, while Jiang Feng was enjoying the wind and looking at the calm lake. He thought, it would be nice to move a little. The Quartz Dragon and Kayaba Akihiko wouldn't run away, and the [Laughing Coffin] guys seemed to have eyes and ears in the strategy group, so he might as well treat it as a mission.

Jiang Feng first contacted Tongzi and Klein, both of whom were members of the strategy group. Jiang Feng planned to join the strategy group as a lone player through them.

If you don't use it when you have a relationship, are you going to wait for it to give birth? You should use it when you need it.

"Kiriko, I want to join the strategy group as a solo player. Are there any conditions?"

Tongzi did not directly answer Jiang Feng's question, but asked: "Why do you want to join the strategy group? Weren't you always uninterested in the strategy group before? Are you getting the idea now?"

"Of course I joined the strategy group to relieve you, Tongzi. I feel bad for you because you stay up so late every day to kill monsters and level up."

"What nonsense are you talking about again? I don't need you to feel sorry for me. Just come to me later."

When Jiang Feng looked at the system panel, he could think of Tongzi's cute appearance at the moment. What a tsundere guy.

Soon Jiang Feng met up with Tongzi, who asked quickly, "Have you really thought it through? You want to join the strategy group as a lone player. Your movements will definitely be restricted after you join the strategy group. You have to participate in the strategy and can't run around everywhere."

"Don't worry, I will definitely abide by the rules of the strategy team and won't cause any trouble for you, Tongzi."

Seeing Jiang Feng's unreliable look, Tongzi felt a headache. Where did the Jiang Feng go? He seemed unreliable now.

"There's no rush to join the strategy team. The strategy team just conquered the 55th floor. It won't matter if we wait a few days. Now you can help me first."

Tongzi would not give up an opportunity to order Jiang Feng around. He knew Jiang Feng's strength and that he was a responsible guy. There would be no problem in throwing things to him.
