About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Previously, during the mission to rescue Lappland, Exia accidentally discovered Orson's identity as "Miss Saint of Latland Rich Lady". It was also the first time she knew that Orson, who was obsessed with cooking and cleaning every day, was actually a local tycoon who kept a low profile.

"Here we are—Speaking of which, Orson, why did you suddenly choose to leave Penguin Logistics? Lapland should be only one of the reasons."

Texas parked the car downstairs in the residential complex and turned around to ask Orson, who was sitting in the back seat. Orson's sudden request to leave Penguin Logistics must have had various reasons.

"Well... indeed, helping Lappland escape the Sicilian Gang was only one of the reasons. Another reason was that my, uh... friends in Ursus were about to arrive at Longmen. I couldn't let them live in Penguin Logistics or go out and find a house to rent on their own. Hahaha, that's it."

Orson rubbed his hair and responded in a low voice with some embarrassment, while Texas and Exiah pricked up their ears and flashed their RGB lights upon hearing this.

— Ursus's 'friends'? Rounding it off, they're new rivals! And Orson said his hometown is Ursus, so who knows, these 'rivals' might actually be the powerful bosses who arrived first!

Women's intuition is always extremely accurate in such situations, and the two immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Um—Orson! Although you've temporarily moved out of Penguin Logistics, you're still an employee of Penguin Logistics! Don't forget this no matter what!"

Exia also turned around and spoke to Orson seriously, and at the same time reached out and held Orson's hand in an awkward posture.

"Well, of course. Everyone at Penguin Logistics has helped me so much. No matter what happens next, I will be there whenever you call. Please rest assured."

Orson smiled and nodded to Exiah, but this expression made Exiah feel a little embarrassed.

Although Orson said that "Penguin Logistics helped him a lot", even Archangel Nian knew very well who was carrying Penguin Logistics during this period.

He rescued Exia from the slums, protected Lin Yuxia from the Sicilian Gang, and then thwarted the assassination attempt on Texas.

If she didn't want to be raised as a waste (this is a lie!), Angel really didn't want Orson to leave Penguin Logistics.

"I'm just moving, not resigning. Once I'm settled in, I'll still come back regularly to help with business."

Orson also saw the reluctance of the Archangel, and quickly comforted him in a low voice.

"Don't cause any more trouble for Orson, Exia. He has his own issues to deal with. We have no right to keep him around."

Texas tried to persuade Exia softly, but this sentence made Exia a little angry.

"You sneaky bastard, now you're acting so noble...! You've already come here shamelessly with Orson, right? In that case, then, next time, you have to take me with you no matter what...!!"

“Puh, cough, cough!! N-Nia!?” “Idiot—stop talking nonsense…!”

Exiah's explosive remarks made Orson almost cough out his tonsils, and Texas in the driver's seat instantly turned red in the face and panicked in tone. It has to be said that Exiah's "self-destructive table-turning talk" was very effective.

It can be seen that the sisters around her ran away unknowingly while chatting and laughing, leaving her alone. This "I am the only one who can't do it.jpg" atmosphere put a lot of pressure on the Archangel, and even made this naughty child directly explode the brand name.

"Well... As a Lateran, at least, at least be a little reserved... Exia."

Orson complained in a low voice, but Exiah was almost in a desperate state now.

"I was kept in the dark because I was too reserved. Don't you agree, Texas? Can Exia do that?"

"So I told you, it was because I didn't seize the opportunity back then...!"

"Wow wow wow..."

The two sisters once again broke up over the fight for mate rights, and Orson wanted to take refuge directly under the car chassis. I should be under the car, not inside the car.

Although Orson also wanted to thank the Texas Exias for their help during this period, he was a little afraid that if he continued to stay, the two of them would kill him in the car. Therefore, Orson firmly declined their invitation to help carry his luggage, and went to the guard room at the address given in the contract to pick up the key, and then went to his new room.

"Building 12, Gate 3... This is it."

Orson dragged the box with one hand, carried the Steam Knight Sword wrapped with cloth on his back, and summoned the Rest Note to carry another box. He arrived at his new home in this subtle posture.

"Click——"

Orson inserted the key into the door and opened the room, and the door next door was also opened from the inside at almost the same time.

"Hey, Orson?"

A familiar female voice came from his ear. Orson looked to his side in surprise, only to see a ghost woman with long dark green hair, two heads taller than him, wearing a black tight shirt and trousers, waving at him.

"Hey, ghost sister?"

Orson blinked. He didn't expect to meet a familiar neighbor on the first day he moved into his new room.

--------

"Ha, so you've been living in the Penguin Logistics office? That's really interesting. It seems like you have a special relationship with the girls at Penguin Logistics!"

"Yeah, they did take good care of me."

"So why are you moving out all of a sudden? Are you tired of being harassed by Exia Texas and the others every day?"

Xingxiong smiled and joked, but in a sense, it was the correct answer.

"My friends are coming here to stay for a while, so I need to prepare a room for them."

"I see. So, to celebrate Orsen's new house, let's have a drink... Oh, right, you can't handle alcohol, right?... What a shame. A rough man like me only knows how to celebrate with a drink no matter what happens. Orsen, please don't laugh at me."

Xingxiong was just about to throw the can of beer in his hand at Orson, when he suddenly remembered that last time he and Chen went to the bar, he accidentally knocked Orson down, and in the end he tricked Chen into sleeping with Orson.

Although he was severely scolded by Lao Chen afterwards, Xingxiong still thinks it is very funny when he thinks about it now. At that time, he was still thinking about helping his awkward boss to move forward in his love life, but now...

Xingxiong looked at the boy sitting in front of him, who seemed even smaller in comparison. His mind recalled the scene in which he was rescued by the other party at all costs during the non-permitted mission, and the boy asked about his injuries with concern.

"How could that be, Ghost Sister! I always thought that drinking a little alcohol is actually quite cool. Puwuwuwu——"

"Hahaha, is that so? Thank you very much, Orson. I'll go get you something to drink."

Xingxiong rubbed Orson's head again, then got up and walked to the kitchen refrigerator to look for any non-alcoholic drinks.

"Sorry to bother you, Ghost Sister."

Orson nodded, then while tidying up his hair, he observed Xingxiong's room.

Similar to Chen's room, Xingxiong also lives alone, and the interior decoration style of his home is also relatively simple and plain.

But unlike Chen Huijie, here in Orson, there are no garbage bags piled in the corner, clothes hanging crookedly on the hangers, or untidy coffee tables.

Just as Orson had imagined, beneath his seemingly carefree and unfussy personality, Xingxiong possessed the delicacy and virtuousness of a Yamato Nadeshiko from the Eastern Kingdom. If the Longmen Guards were ranked by female prowess, Chen would likely remain Xingxiong's subordinate for the rest of his life.

And Orson will compete with Wei Wenyue for the ownership of Wei Yanwu (?)

In short, apart from the large and small exquisite wine bottles decorations that can be seen everywhere, all the furniture and daily necessities are placed in an orderly manner, and the arrangement of various small details can also be seen from Xingxiong's identity as a native of the East.

For example, there is a scroll with the four large characters "Ye Lu Si Ku" written on it in Yanguo/Dongguo, placed in the middle of the living room, and three samurai swords placed below it.

——It’s so eye-catching that I can’t take my eyes off it…

"Ugh!?"

"Are you looking at those knives? I begged them at the market a while ago. They were much better than I expected, so I kept them. The first one is called the Grinding Knife, the second one is called the Death Blade, and the third one is called the Lock Picking Knife. Here you go."

"I always feel like it sounds incredible but also very low-brow... Thank you, Ghost Sister."

A cool touch came from Orson's face. Xingxiong smiled and put a bottle of iced canned drink to Orson's face. Orson took the drink and found the words "Pineapple Beer" written on it.

"Sorry, this is the only thing in the whole fridge that's supposedly non-alcoholic, even though it has the word 'beer' in it."

Xingxiong rubbed her hair and sounded a little embarrassed. Although she usually looked like a generous and carefree person who loved drinking, she would still feel a little embarrassed to reveal her drinking habit in front of the opposite sex.

"Let me try it first."

After all, it was Xingxiong who had kindly found it for him, so Orson obediently opened the pull ring, then carefully extended his tongue and gently probed the can of drink with the tip of his tongue. After confirming that it touched the liquid, he immediately retracted his tongue and licked his lips at the same time.

——It looks like a kitten drinking water...

Xingxiong on the side stared at Orson and the drink in a daze.

“It’s sweet and indeed alcohol-free, so delicious!”

After being certified by the alcohol inspector, Orson raised the drink and took small sips of it.

"So cute—ahem, anyway, Orson, as long as you like it. My room here isn't very clean either, Orson, if you don't mind... just sit down!"

Xingxiong spoke politely to Orson, then immediately pressed the other's shoulders, forcibly stopping Orson from starting housekeeping mode, and complained in his heart that this guy's girlfriend power was a bit too high.

After stabilizing Orsen, the two neighbors who unexpectedly became neighbors began chatting.

"My previous job actually had nothing to do with the Imperial Guard. I was just a little-known gang thug back then—haha, the thug you're thinking of. But I don't know how, but gradually people started calling me Ghost Sister."

"She must have been moved by Sister Ghost's broad-mindedness and courage, puwuwuwu..."

"Hahaha, no need to flatter me like that, Orson. We're not any of us who can stand up to the public. Talk of righteousness and propriety is just an excuse to whitewash violence."

"I finally managed to style my hair..."

Orson sincerely believed that Xingxiong was broad-minded, but he still couldn't escape being beaten up by this green evil ghost leader.

"But maybe it's because I've been a gangster for so many years, I've seen quite a few people. And Orson—you always seem to have a vague sense of 'dedication'. What keeps you working so hard? What are you working so hard for?"

Taking advantage of the mood of drinking and chatting, Xingxiong asked the question that he was extremely curious about.

"Dedicate yourself...?"

Hearing Xingxiong's question, Orson frowned.

"My life... was exchanged for a very powerful and important person. Because of this, I cannot waste this life. I must accept the life that person passed on to me and then do something about it. - Ghost Sister?"

Orson answered in this way, and at the same time thought to himself, has he done anything along the way that would make the 'Doctor' proud?

However, the doctor did not respond. Instead, he placed a pair of warm hands on Orson's hair again.

This time, Xingxiong did not try to make fire by rubbing two sticks against Orson's hair, but just gently placed his hand on Orson's head and stroked it slowly.

"You are you, Orson. I don't know what happened to you, but you don't have to live for others."

"...Yeah, you're right, Ghost Sister."

Orson was stunned for a moment, then he smiled happily.

Afterwards, the two talked about the situation in Longmen. Xingxiong said that after Longmen was blocked, the slums became a little restless, because the slums are always inseparable from smuggling.

As for why he was in seclusion, Xingxiong shrugged and said that maybe Commander Wei wanted to deal with something.

The conversation with the familiar neighbor was temporarily interrupted because of Xingxiong's urgent mission. After the two greeted each other, Orson returned to his apartment and cleaned the room carefully.

It was almost 10:30 in the evening. Because he had been busy running around for the past two days, it was rare for him to have a quiet environment. After sending the address to Tallulah Frost Star and the others, Orson quickly fell asleep.

At 12 o'clock in the morning——

"Orson, Orson?"

"Um... Tallulah?"

"Beep, beep, wrong number~"

"What the—Ugh!?"

The whisper in his ear and the weight on his chest woke Orson from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar girl with short blue hair and a signature devil smile. Although she had the aura of the Sakta tribe, she also had the horns and tail of the Sarkaz tribe. She was riding on him.

"Those who answer incorrectly will be punished, okay? Come on, open your mouth, Orson~"

"Ms. Mastema? Wait, wait a minute... How did you find this place?"

Orson finally saw the true face of the girl who climbed into his bed in the middle of the night. The guardian of locks and keys, the mysterious fallen angel - Mostima, was riding on him at this time, putting a finger in his mouth, smiling with her eyes, pulling out a transparent silk thread, ready to put it into Orson's lips.

"Like I said, what's the courier's most important resource? Intelligence, huh?"

"Ugh, even so——"

"Orson? Hiding the spare key under the flowerpot at the door or something like that... Only a 40-year-old man would do something like that—Aaaaaaah Orson!?!? You bastard, get off Orson right now!!"

The more familiar and long-lost voice of the dragon girl came from the door, along with a scorching flame that seemed to be able to instantly ignite all the oxygen in the room.

"Uh, well, Tallulah...?"

Orson looked at the leader of the Reunion Movement, the heir to the throne of Victoria, the daughter of the Black Snake, and the infected fighter - Tallulah, who opened the door, and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

This scene of encounter is really great.

Orson has already started thinking about which world he will go to in his next reincarnation.

73. Fire Dragon vs. Fallen Angel

In the small room, the scorching flames continued to spread, and the source of all the heat - a dragon girl with short silver-white hair, held the big sword at her waist with one hand, her eyes fixed on the uninvited fallen angel riding on Orson.

"Who are you? Get away from Orson. I won't give you a second warning."

Although everyone who spent a lot of time with Tallulah knew that this girl, who at first glance looked a bit like an aristocratic officer, was actually not very smart, but at this moment, facing the "emergency" before her, Tallulah still fully unleashed the overwhelming pressure of her role as Draco. Her golden dragon eyes stared at Mostima, and behind her, the flames and scorching heat gradually formed a hellish vortex that could melt everything.

"Oh my, looks like we've run into a formidable opponent, Miss Draco, who's ready to unleash her fury~?"

Although Mostima was surprised for a moment by Tallulah's sudden disruption, she quickly regained her composure and stood up from Orson's body. Smiling, she took out her silver-white staff and looked at Tallulah.

"I've heard your story, brave infected fighter, but compared to the rumors, you seem a bit more impulsive and reckless."
