"Hey, we arrived so quickly?"
With a clatter, the carriage slowly came to a stop outside a gate. Qian Renxue eagerly lifted the curtain and looked out.
The architectural style before us can absolutely be described as luxurious and grand.
The massive, ten-meter-high wooden gate stood wide open, surrounded by a white wall as tall as the gate itself, resembling a small city, far more imposing than the previous gates of Nottingham.
Beyond the grand gate lies a straight and tidy avenue, wide enough for four carriages to pass at the same time. The surrounding lawns and flowerbeds are well-maintained, and fish swim in an artificial lake with no visible boundaries.
"Is this where I'm going to stay...? It's so beautiful!"
Hearing Ye Lingling's delighted exclamation, Qian Renxue blinked her slightly sore eyes and pulled herself back to reality.
Looking at the scene before her, even though she had been accustomed to luxury since childhood, she couldn't help but marvel.
"Although it's a bit simple overall, without the usual artificial mountains or elegant upturned eaves, I'm determined to stay here just because of the pleasant feeling it gives at first glance."
To her, the snow garden before her was like bringing nature into her residence, offering a unique and delightful experience.
"What do you mean shabby? This is called minimalist style. Once you've lived here for a while, you'll know what it means to never get tired of it," Xiao Chenyu said as he walked forward.
He put a lot of thought into the design of the Snow Garden in front of him.
If we were to build pavilions, towers, artificial mountains, and waterfalls as Qian Renxue suggested, we probably couldn't afford it even if we sold the city lord's mansion.
How to build the most extravagant palace for the crown prince with limited funds is a huge challenge.
Xiao Chenyu chose to expand the area and build an outer wall to solve this problem.
The walls and floors are worth very little compared to the interior facilities.
Nottingham is located on the outskirts of the city, and while it doesn't have much else, it is large in size.
The mansion is simply furnished with lawns and lakes, exuding a natural atmosphere. It is surrounded by a ten-meter-high wall, so normal people cannot see inside.
It guarantees privacy and saves money—it's perfect.
Of course, when he has more money later, Xiao Chenyu plans to build a small botanical garden and a small aquarium in the Snow Garden, specifically to raise precious soul beast fish and rare plant soul beasts.
Everyone should have dreams. Keeping a Great White Shark in a pool and planting a Blue Silver King in the yard—that's the pinnacle of life.
As for the Blue Silver Emperor and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King... cough cough... of course they have other places.
With a smile on his face and his mind wandering, Xiao Chenyu welcomed Qian Renxue and the others inside.
Wow, it's huge!
Upon seeing the spaciousness of the Snow Garden, Ye Lingling exclaimed in amazement once again.
Qian Renxue glanced around, looking at the cluster of houses a hundred meters away, a slight smile playing on her lips. She nudged Xiao Chenyu beside her with her elbow.
“I remember you said that this is called visual illusion, and as long as the place is big and spacious enough, it will cover up the fact that the cost is low.”
She didn't mean anything bad by saying that; she was quite satisfied with the overall impression of the building in front of her.
Although she hasn't officially moved in yet, Qian Renxue imagined that living here would definitely be more comfortable than the Crown Prince's residence or the Spirit Hall.
She said this simply because there weren't many opportunities to tease Xiao Chenyu, so she had to cherish them.
Hearing her words, Xiao Chenyu raised an eyebrow:
"You're certainly applying what you've learned. Although your description isn't entirely accurate, it's pretty close. But I call this 'doing it right the first time,' meaning there won't be any further expansion of the Snow Garden."
"You're so good at talking! Hehe!"
Qian Renxue laughed even more happily and gave Xiao Chenyu a victory sign.
Xiao Chenyu saw this and it made him laugh.
However, what he just said is indeed true.
First, we need to determine the scale of the Snow Garden. Then, when we have more money, it will be easier to add things without having to carry out a dusty expansion.
Snow Garden will be his permanent residence in the future, and Nottingham City will be their base.
Backed by the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Spirit Hall, Xiao Chenyu decided to let the rich help the poor get rich.
According to his plan, he would first use various business projects to make money everywhere. With the backing of two major forces, he would be able to proceed without any obstacles.
Over the next fifteen years, they continuously invested money to transform Notting City, striving to build a capital city that was no less powerful than Wuhun City.
The design of both the inner and outer cities of Notting was modeled after Tiandou City, and Snow Garden naturally couldn't be smaller than the Tiandou Imperial Palace.
Of course, there is no palace, but filling in some grass and creating a lake as a substitute is perfectly fine.
"Let's go and take a look at where we're staying."
At Xiao Chenyu's signal, the group walked inside and entered a modern-style building complex.
The complex is predominantly modern villa style, entirely white with blue and gold accents, and features numerous large windows, creating an overall relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
With the adjacent lawn and artificial lake, it resembles a tranquil resort for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The overall design of this building was inspired by the villas of his previous life, but it is simpler and more comfortable, completely abandoning the luxurious style commonly used in high-end residences in Douluo Continent.
The elegant and dazzling architecture and courtyard were nice, but in Xiao Chenyu's opinion, they were too crowded.
For Soul Masters, it's actually a matter of not being able to fully utilize their abilities, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the budget.
Moreover, Xueyuan was nominally the Crown Prince's palace, so it was mainly for leisure, vacation and entertainment. The architectural style of the place in front of him was in line with Xiao Chenyu's wishes.
"The main house is completely different in style from any I've seen before."
As she got closer, Qian Renxue noticed at first glance that a four-story exquisite villa stood in the center.
