The town's market was quite lively, filled with shouts and noise.
Ning Hong and Anman have decided to buy a house in town. The weather is getting colder and colder.
"Hey, have you heard?" The old man walking ahead was the owner of the house they had their eye on. This old man seemed to have a tendency to be overly friendly, talking as he walked.
"What?"
"Oh, that's the prince. The prince of our Kingdom of Sol has actually come to the town."
"Really?" Ning Hong's eyes widened. "I heard that prince is exceptionally handsome. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. My daughter only met him once, and she's been lovesick ever since."
"What should we do then?"
"It's alright, she's not stupid. She knows there's absolutely no chance between her and the prince, so she gave up a long time ago."
The old man seemed to be smiling quite happily. He appeared to be a very open-minded person.
"But I've heard something else." The old man suddenly looked left and right, his face wary.
"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"I heard that the prince was beaten up, supposedly by his love rival."
"Is that really true?"
"I don't know about that. I just heard it from others. That handsome face of his was beaten so badly that it was unrecognizable."
"Such a thing is possible?"
"I think someone was jealous of the prince's good looks, so they disfigured him."
"Men shouldn't be described as handsome."
Ning Hong chuckled dryly twice.
The people who hit the prince were probably the brother and sister.
Since the moment of enlightenment, although he felt unwell, it was clear that not only did he speak faster, but his mind also became much more normal.
Ning Hong and Anman exchanged a glance, both of them showing a sense of helplessness.
"Brother, I think we can't go out for the time being."
They beat the prince; who knows if the prince might be waiting somewhere, wanting revenge?
That said, what is this prince doing in our town for no reason?
"Who knows, they might just be here for sightseeing."
The two of them spoke in hushed tones.
"Alright, we're here."
As they were talking, they arrived in front of the house the old man wanted to buy.
The house wasn't very big, but it was very clean. The decor was also very tidy.
“Let me tell you, there’s no house cheaper around here. If my son and wife weren’t moving to Beijing, I wouldn’t be willing to sell it. I’ve lived here for so many years.”
The old man was lucky.
The family is harmonious, with one son and one daughter.
His son joined the Cavaliers a few years ago and established himself in the capital. He's a filial son.
He immediately bought a big house so that his parents and sister could move in.
The old man was initially unwilling, but his family all agreed, so he had no choice but to sell the house and go with them.
"I'm only selling this house for one hundred gold coins, not a single one less."
Of course, if it's 99 gold coins, that's negotiable.
The old man was also a little uneasy. His house was quite nice, but the location was too remote.
Asking for 100 gold coins isn't actually expensive; it's just that he's in a hurry to sell.
When you're in a rush, you're more likely to be pressured to lower the price.
"Okay." Ning Hong nodded. They didn't haggle; one hundred it was.
"What?" You agreed so readily? The old man was stunned for a moment, then immediately beamed with joy, "Good, good child, if you don't haggle, Grandpa won't cheat you."
"I'll give you all the furniture here," the old man said generously.
He has a lot of good stuff inside, but his own child doesn't appreciate it and just doesn't like it, so now he has no choice but to give it to the little guy.
"Thank you so much."
Having obtained the land deed and closed the gate, looking at the house, Amman suddenly covered her face and cried.
Amman?
"Brother, we finally have a home again."
"Yes, we finally have a home again." No longer do they have to live in a cave, and no longer have to fear the wind and rain. They finally have a decent home.
"Amman, this room is yours, and this room is mine."
The brother and sister no longer need to squeeze together.
The two happily divided the rooms, wanting to familiarize themselves with everything in the house.
Jessica felt like she was incredibly unlucky.
It seems that ever since Leah appeared, she has never had any good luck.
Was the God of Light also disappointed in her, which is why he was playing such a trick on her?
She was injured.
Just outside the town, they encountered a monster. After finally managing to kill it, it started raining again.
She dragged her injured leg as she walked through the wind and rain.
She needs a hot shower, a warm bed, and medication.
She went from door to door, hoping someone would take her in. Of course, in return, she would give them some of the monster meat.
However, with her pale complexion, disheveled hair, and wounds all over her face and body, no one here would be willing to take her in.
If they were powerful enough, they would have moved to the inner city long ago; why would they stay in the outer city? Besides, it's obvious that this woman is very powerful, and they can't handle her.
Jessica, with a cold expression, knocked on the door of a house in the far corner.
"They're here."
A somewhat familiar voice came from inside.
Before Jessica could react, Amman appeared in front of her.
"It's you?"
Isn't this the woman who wrongly accused her brother on the street and was exposed by her?
How did you end up so down and out?
When I saw her that day, she was dressed and looked great. How could she have changed so much in just a few days?
"Sorry to bother you."
Putting herself in her shoes, if someone had wronged her family like that, she certainly wouldn't have taken her in.
"Wait," Amman stopped her.
Perhaps feeling sorry for her, Amman couldn't help but pull her back.
"Are you pitying me?"
"Don't you deserve sympathy?" Amman handed her a large towel and told her to wipe her body. She didn't know where her brother got the towel from, but it was soft, comfortable, and very useful.
“Yes, I am indeed very pitiful right now.” Sensing that there was no other meaning in Amman’s tone, Jessica’s tense body relaxed.
"But I'm just curious, why did you agree to take me in?"
They not only had no relationship whatsoever, but could even be said to have some entanglement, yet they took her in without any reservations—
"Don't overthink it. Taking you in is just a small thing. Consider it my good deed for the day. Besides, you can't beat me."
That is true.
Jessica nodded; she knew she couldn't beat the girl in front of her.
Others may be afraid of her, but she doesn't need to.
