Chapter 378 Time Management Master

The autumn wind washed away the last trace of summer's stickiness.

Amidst the much-anticipated and perfectly balanced autumn colors, Huali's three-story villa was finally announced as completed.

Leaving aside the abundant spiritual energy in the surroundings, and the three layers of barriers and the terrifying aura that could terrify people even two miles away, let's just talk about the layout itself.

"Just one word!"

Huali opened the folding fan in her hand with a "whoosh"!

"elegant!"

"It's so elegant!"

Beside him, Ao Bai, his fur all over his body blown into a slicked-back middle part by the autumn wind after the rain, looked at Hua Li and asked sincerely, "Aren't you cold?"

Huali's raised eyebrows paused, first slowly flattening, then retracting, and finally trembling as she frowned and nodded: "Being a 'pretentious king' is really not easy, huh. Back in the Cangming Sea, I saw Wen Tingyun fanning himself so enthusiastically that I thought he wasn't cold at all."

"As it turns out, some people deserve to be pretentious."

Tang Wanwan peeked out from behind Huali, "Hey? What happened to those guys? They left right after they were done without saying they'd stay for a few days?"

"I'm wondering about that too." Huali led her inside, putting away her fan as she did so. "I was originally planning to invite everyone to have a meal together."

"Who knew that if I hadn't said anything, it would have been better. As soon as I did, they all jumped up and ran away."

She turned back to look at Shao Siming with an innocent expression, "Sister Ayu, do I look that scary?"

Shao Siming looked at the little girl in front of her.

Huali wore a light yellow, gradient-colored, shimmering mermaid dress, clearly made by a mermaid. Over it was a white, cloud-patterned, soft, wide-sleeved gauze robe, and her long, black hair was loosely tied up with a simple silver hairpin inlaid with pearls, with a few strands falling beside her ears, making her small face appear even more radiant.

As she turned around to speak, the skirt of the girl rippled, reflecting the red feather on her left ear, like a lotus flower with dew on its leaves, pure and ethereal, without the slightest hint of fright.

After observing for a while, Shao Siming commented with an ambiguous meaning, "It's actually a good deal for those five people."

Tang Wanwan put her arm around Huali's neck. "I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here."

"When I last came here, those guys practically glued their eyes to you. Now that you've offered to treat them to dinner, they're not only unhappy but they've even run away. So there's only one answer..."

Karin pondered, then suddenly realized, then exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be because of me?!"

Tang Wanwan and Shao Siming immediately exchanged a glance.

Wow, people in love are different; they react so quickly.

Tang Wanwan seized the opportunity to sow discord, "But let's not wipe them all out at once. I think the fox definitely started it..."

"Did they interpret this as a request for them to spend money?"

Tang Wanwan was taken aback. "Huh?"

Huali slapped her thigh. "Hey! How could that be?! I may be stingy, but I can still afford to treat them to a meal. Besides, they've put so much effort into this, do you think I'm the kind of person who's short of a few cents?!"

"Luckily, I packed up the spirit herbs and spirit stones and sent them to the sect afterwards, otherwise what would people think if word got out?"

Tang Wanwan: "......"

"By the way, Wanwan, what did you just say about foxes? Did you see a fox? There are a lot of little animals here, aren't they cute?"

Tang Wanwan: "...Heh."

Shao Siming sighed, fearing that Tang Wanwan would be strangled to death by Hua Li in a moment, and quickly changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go, let's continue to introduce your new home to your sister."

Huali immediately perked up, "Come on!" She grabbed one of them with each hand and led them slowly into the barrier.

The moment you step inside, a three-story Chinese-style villa that combines modern technology with ingenuity comes into view.

The house features clean, crisp lines, with large areas of white walls contrasting sharply with the dark wood. The gently sloping eaves extend into wide overhangs, resembling the wings of a bird, providing a stable and protective shelter.

The most exquisite feature is that one side of the villa is a clear stream winding through the mountains, while the other side faces a huge courtyard in the center.

Along the edge of the wide, suspended wooden platform were rows of enormous floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. Huali reached out and pushed the door aside, instantly blurring the boundary between inside and outside.

Red maple leaves, bright ginkgo leaves, and clusters of pale purple hydrangeas in the courtyard, against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, frame the entire autumn forest like a painting.

The window view art of the older generation is truly remarkable.

Huali tossed the cushions to the two of them, grabbed one for herself, and sat down on the slightly warm wooden floor, beginning her introduction:

"Our first floor is a big living room. You can sit here, open the window, and see the scenery of all four seasons."

"The second floor is my bedroom, where I put the super luxurious king-size bed that I showed you before, as well as a walk-in closet, gym, movie theater... and so on. I'll take you two on a tour in a bit."

Hua Li chuckled, "From now on, President Hua will wake up in her own 180-meter-long bed every day."

"The third floor belongs to Cat Master, where his cat tree, food cans, and the like are kept."

"Alright, alright, I know you're rich now, but don't show off. Let's talk about something interesting." Tang Wanwan tossed the cushion aside, and seeing that no one was around, she immediately lowered her voice in a cheeky tone: "Da Hua, your backyard... cough, those people on your hilltop, have really settled down peacefully like this?"

Shao Siming's eyes lit up as well, "How's your handling of the situation?"

"That's good." Huali munched on a spirit fruit, her tone natural. "Everyone adheres to the first principle: absolutely no fighting."

"And we can even have dinner together."

Tang Wanwan was astonished. "Your schedule is pretty tight, isn't it? Five people dating one person a day?"

"No," the time management master and master of maintaining balance shook his head. "Little Bird and I went back to the Cangming Sea to collect pearls for three days. The others weren't there."

"After returning from Cangminghai, Luochuan and I went to Beiming again, and still no one bothered us. Moreover, I found a kind of flower in Beiming and went to Sunset City to try it out with Wen Jin. We didn't return until the end of the month."

Shao Siming frowned, "These places are all quite far apart, the journey must be very arduous."

"No, not at all. I asked Fu Yan, the chief disciple of the Fu Sect, oh no, I mean the current sect leader, to set up a teleportation array. Look outside."

"See that sea of ​​flowers on the south slope? Wen Jin's yard is right there. We planted them together when his place was just finished. There's a teleportation array in his house. As soon as I open the door, I'm in Sunset City."

"And the largest place over there is the young master's territory. He also has a teleportation array there. Once you open it, you're on the Canglan Grassland. We were riding horses there yesterday."

Huali pointed and continued, "That's where the birds are. They drew water from the earth's veins to form a pool. There's no teleportation array there, but I specially made a wet-dry separation for them."

Shao Siming and Tang Wanwan were stunned. "Fu Yan? He didn't mean to you..."

Shao Siming asked tactfully, "When you asked him to do these things, what was Fu Yan's expression?"

Huali thought for a moment, "He didn't seem to have much of an expression, he just wanted me to take care of my health?"

Tang Wanwan: "...So what did you reply?"

"I told them I'm in excellent health, this is no problem!"

Without looking at their hesitant expressions, Huali continued, "Luochuan and Lianzhuo live behind that direction. They've both set up barriers around each other, so no one but me can get in."

"Luochuan leads directly to the Holy Capital Demon Realm, and Lianzhuo is just a doorway to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. In short, it's very convenient." "And when we have free time, we all get together to cultivate our relationships."

Tang Wanwan, this naive young lady who had never seen the world, took a deep breath, her voice involuntarily rising at the end, "Cultivate feelings?"

"Are you sure this isn't a public execution day in a chaotic battlefield?"

The time management guru shook his head, "How could that be? Everyone gets along very well."

Tang Wanwan paused for a second, then picked up Ao Bai, who had been sleeping sprawled on the floor since he came in: "I don't believe a word this deadbeat says. Ao Bai, you tell me!"
