"Of course it's true, but if you live here, you'll have to pay rent. Well... how about a little yellow croaker living here for a year?" Ye Li said with a smile.
Isn't this... even darker than the person from before?
I thought I had met a really good person, but it turned out to be a blackmailer.
"No need." Lu Qingyan pulled her luggage to leave, and Ye Li didn't stop her from behind.
Well, he certainly didn't want another stranger in his place.
Xiaozhao followed behind Lu Qingyan, and glared at Ye Li fiercely as they left: "Miss, where are we going now?"
"Let's find a place to stay first. Since we can't buy a place that suits our taste, we'll just have to rent one." As Lu Qingyan spoke, she suddenly remembered the burial site that Ye Li had mentioned earlier.
"Xiaozhao, let's go live in a haunted house."
"Huh?" Xiaozhao said with a pained expression, "Miss, I'm easily frightened, please don't scare me."
"If we don't go there, where will we stay?" Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow. "You don't necessarily want to sleep on the streets, do you?"
Xiaozao looked up at the darkening sky and muttered, "We could find a hotel to stay in."
"It's a pity that place won't be home," Lu Qingyan replied. Although Xiaozhao's voice was soft, Lu Qingyan still heard her. When they went to that infamous haunted house, there were still people guarding it.
"Hello, is this house for sale?" Lu Qingyan asked.
The man replied cheerfully, "Of course this house is for sale. Are you buying it? Let me tell you, not to brag, but there's no house as nice as ours for miles around. I see it's getting late, so I'll just ask for ten small yellow croakers for a fixed price, and you can stay there tonight."
"Pah!" Xiaozhao glared at the seemingly honest and simple-minded man in front of her, whose eyes were darting around. "Who are you trying to fool? We must have known better than to come here without asking around. Everyone said this is a haunted house, a place haunted by ghosts. Who knows how many people have died here? We're already doing this for a good deal, and you're trying to swindle us out of our money?"
"Oh dear, this is a huge misunderstanding. Look, it's almost dark, and both of you are so beautiful. I thought it was really because some evil spirits had come to scare us. Who would have thought you would be such celestial beauties?" The man shamelessly praised them for a while, then quickly changed his tune: "This is easy to handle. A small yellow croaker will do."
This price is a bit high, but the place is really big, and no one will be dissatisfied.
After agreeing on the price and completing the formalities quickly, Lu Qingyan and Xiaozhao washed up and went to bed early.
That night, everything was quiet, and nothing happened.
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Xiaozhao woke up very early the next day and rushed over to see her young mistress. To her surprise, her young mistress was standing there perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened.
That's great! It seems those were just rumors spread by others.
Xiaozao thought to herself that they were the ones who got the best deal.
"Xiao Zhao, you're up so early today?" Lu Qingyan was a little surprised. She thought the little girl was sleeping soundly at this moment.
"Miss, did anything happen to you last night?" Xiaozhao asked anxiously, afraid that something might have happened that she didn't know about.
Lu Qingyan shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
