Chapter 139 Temporary Stay

In other words, Feng Siyue was also unaware of this matter.

If someone with ill intentions finds out, well...

She's going to be in big trouble.

This is what Xuanzu said.

Back in the room, Feng Siyue just pushed the door open and came in, carrying a food box.

"woke up?"

"Come and have something to eat."

Xuan Li's voice was somewhat weak.

"it is good."

She got up and sat down at the table.

Feng Siyue looked at her pale face and asked, "Didn't you sleep well? Your face is so pale."

Xuan Li subconsciously touched her face; it was very cold.

"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare, I'll be fine after a rest."

Feng Siyue didn't think much of it and opened the food box. "After breakfast, let's find a courtyard to stay in."

We can't stay in a guesthouse forever; it's quite inconvenient.

"You intend to reside permanently in Thousand Waters City?"

"We'll stay here temporarily, and leave once we get news about the Seven-Colored Scale Insect."

The Bai family's information network is more efficient than their mindless wandering.

"it is good."

After having breakfast, Xuan Li rested for a while before going out with Feng Siyue.

There are many vacant houses in Qianshui City, but finding one that satisfies both of them will probably take a lot of time.

Evening, western suburbs of Qianshui City.

After visiting more than a dozen places, they casually sat down by a small bridge, with the gentle river flowing beneath their feet.

Xuan Li was exhausted. "Our requirements aren't difficult at all, so why can't anything of them meet our expectations?"

Regarding this matter, Qingqing, who had been standing on Feng Siyue's shoulders watching them "strive for perfection" all day, felt a little like complaining.

"Sister Li, aren't your demands too difficult for people?"

"Contractors want peace and quiet, and cheap prices."

"You want a yard, water, and trees."

"The courtyard should be large, preferably a lake with colorful lotus flowers in it, and ideally, a light drizzle should fall every day. Why didn't you have so many requirements when we lived in a cave with our contractor?"

Their day's itinerary was clear and exhausting.

Xuan Li calmed his breathing slightly and said confidently, "We were forced to do so before, but now that we have the means, what's wrong with living in a better place?"

Qingqing said helplessly, "But your conditions are clearly aimed at the Imperial Court Pavilion, didn't the contractor say they wanted a cheaper price?"

Despite Xuan Li's many requests, Feng Siyue remained indulgent, saying, "Qingqing, it's okay."

"Qianshui City has many depressions and lakes. I'm sure I can find a suitable one if I keep asking around."

Xuan Li tilted his head back and said smugly,

"that is!"

Qingqing's lips twitched slightly. "Whatever makes you happy."

Why does it feel like he, the contracted beast, isn't as important to the contractor as Sister Li?

Feng Siyue actually found such a place.

Half an hour later, the two appeared on a path outside the southern suburbs of the city.

Ahead of them was a guide.

He looked to be in his eighties, dressed in brown linen clothes with a raincoat over them, carrying two palm-sized fish in his hands; he was an ordinary man.

Although the Fantasy Universe Continent reveres the cultivation of spiritual power, there are still quite a few ordinary people without spiritual power.

For this type of person, survival is extremely difficult.

When the old man heard that they wanted to find a courtyard to stay in temporarily, he smiled and led them out of the city.

During the conversation, it was learned that the old man's name was Yu Wang.

A moment later, they arrived at a small bamboo house about a kilometer outside the city.

The place isn't big.

The house is a single-story bamboo house with a one-meter-high space underneath for moisture and insect protection. It is surrounded by a small courtyard with bamboo strips, which is seven meters long and seven meters wide.

It was very quiet, and you could hear insects chirping.

Xuan Li looked around curiously, "This place looks pretty good."

A light rain began to fall from the sky.

Seeing this, she was even more satisfied.

The old man was very pleased. "I'm glad Miss Ruan likes it."

"Across from the bamboo house is a lake, crystal clear."

"As for the lotus flowers you mentioned, we do have them, but they are white. If you want other colors, I can go to the city and buy a few."

The old man led them to the lake.

The lake is not large, about half an acre in size. The lakeside is covered with lush aquatic plants, and you can see several black-headed, white-necked ducks swimming in rows.

Very relaxed, very casual.

Xuan Li was completely satisfied. "Not bad, not bad. Feng Siyue, shall we choose this place?"

Although she felt something was missing, she was still very satisfied.

Qingqing fell silent.

This familiar configuration, isn't it just a low-end version of the Heavenly Heart Ring?

Seeing that she liked it, Feng Siyue asked the old man, "Uncle Yu, is this lake also yours?"

The old man sighed, "It was passed down from my ancestors. I used to want to do some fish business, but ordinary fish are not easy to sell, so I could only raise some for my own consumption."

It's not just that they're hard to sell, they're simply impossible to sell.

Ordinary fish may taste delicious to the average person, but in Thousand Water City, they are considered trash and despised by others.

Feng Siyue sensed his slight helplessness and smiled, "It's alright, Uncle Yu, we're not picky."

"what?"

Under the old man's slightly puzzled gaze, Feng Siyue continued, "Your courtyard is quite nice, why don't you sell it to us?"

"We plan to stay permanently."
