Early in the morning, as Liu Feng awoke, he sensed someone's gaze upon him. He turned his head groggily and met a pair of pale blue eyes. The sudden appearance of the person startled him, and his sleepiness vanished instantly.
"Baron Liu Feng, are you awake?" Mina asked with a playful smile.
"How did you get in here?" Liu Feng raised an eyebrow and nodded in satisfaction at Mina's attire. "This outfit suits you very well."
The clothes Mina was wearing now were bought by Liu Feng from a supermarket. They resembled a long skirt akin to a secondary-dimensional maid's outfit and, surprisingly, fit her well as a cat-eared girl.
"It looks good, but it's a bit inconvenient for movement. I still prefer leather armor," Mina said, holding up the skirt and swaying it, not entirely satisfied.
Although this outfit was even prettier than those worn by aristocratic ladies, her duty was to protect Baron Liu Feng's safety, and she couldn't be greedy for beauty.
Liu Feng sat up and waved his hand. "Alright, wear this long skirt inside the castle. Next time, I'll get you some leather armor."
"And weapons too," Mina nodded. Her weapons had been lost long ago.
"What kind of weapons do you like?" Liu Feng asked curiously, glancing at the slender arms of the cat-eared girl.
"Short knives will do. If possible, give me five short knives," Mina's eyes sparkled as she stared fixedly at Liu Feng, unconsciously licking her lips.
Hey, don't do something that makes people imagine things early in the morning. Liu Feng pointed at the door and said with a bitter smile, "Okay, go out first. I'll give you the short knives in a moment."
"Baron Liu Feng, you should find some maidservants."
Mina's pretty face flushed slightly, and her blue eyes scanned a certain protruding area. Her cat ears trembled vigorously as she pretended to be calm and exited the room.
"Whew... What a different morning!"
Liu Feng yawned, stretched, and pulled out a black Hanfu (Chinese costume) from his space to wear.
"As for maidservants, we'll talk about it later!"
Yes, it was Hanfu, which he had prepared long ago. He didn't have any noble clothing from this place, and now that he was a noble, he needed a set of clothes as a 'facade'.
Well, actually, it was because he despised the clothes from this foreign world, especially those worn by the nobles, which he found bizarre.
After putting on the Hanfu, Liu Feng took out a mirror from his space and looked at himself, quite satisfied. "Great. Next time, I'll let my hair grow longer and put on a crown. That would be perfect."
When he stepped out of the room, he saw Mina staring at him with slightly widened eyes and exclaimed, "Baron Liu Feng, could you be a prince from some kingdom?"
Liu Feng swung his long sleeves, exuding elegance, and smiled calmly, "This is the attire worn by nobles in my hometown!"
"You are the most noble person I've ever seen among the nobility. You resemble an aristocrat more than those dukes and high-ranking figures. You're simply a prince," Mina marveled.
Liu Feng smiled slightly. This was the effect he wanted. In this world, nobles held immense power, and if their behavior was not proper, their authority would be questioned.
As someone who had transcended worlds, he had no understanding of noble behavior in this world. Therefore, Liu Feng directly created his own, or rather, borrowed some ancient Chinese customs.
Even Mina, who had seen many nobles, praised him for resembling an aristocrat. This meant he had succeeded, and other nobles would not dare to underestimate him.
"Here, these are the short knives you asked for," Liu Feng took out a box from the sleeve of his Hanfu.
Another advantage of Hanfu was its long sleeves, which could block people's sight, allowing Liu Feng to take things out from his space.
Mina excitedly took the box, eagerly opened it, and shouted in surprise, "Wow! Such cool short knives."
"They're called military knives!" Liu Feng said helplessly. The short knives in this world were not comparable.
"So sharp!" Mina held the military knife and probed it with her slender fingers, liking it more and more.
She found that the magnificent knives she had previously acquired from a high-ranking noble was inferior to the military knives she now possessed; these were the true weapons for killing.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Mina flicked her wrists, and five military knives flew out instantly, embedding themselves into a pillar more than ten meters away, forming a cross pattern.
"I've struck gold," Liu Feng gazed at the cat-eared girl as she went to retrieve the knives, mesmerized by her incredible flying knife skills.
He led the cat-eared girl to the study, placed a document in her hands, and smiled, "This is a contract to hire you. If there are no issues, please sign it."
Contracts were something Mina was familiar with, as nobles often used them. However, she was now utterly confused as she gazed at the black-and-white contract in her hands. She had never seen anything like this before—white paper used for writing.
"Mr. Liu Feng, what is this?" Mina asked, trembling the white sheet of paper.
"This is white paper, used for writing in my hometown. It's much more convenient than sheepskin scrolls," Liu Feng chuckled.
What did he mean by "much more convenient"? Even if Mina had never used it, she could tell that this white paper was a hundred times better than the yellow sheepskin scrolls.
Mina had experienced many shocks this morning, from the incredibly sharp military knives to the white paper for writing, neither of which she had seen before.
She could assure that she had visited many large cities and infiltrated the studies of many nobles, but she had never seen such things before.
Therefore, she understood the value of these items. Many people would resort to any means to obtain them.
Mina looked sternly at Liu Feng and said, "Please keep these things secret for now. Otherwise, they will attract the covetous eyes of many."
