Shangguan Jianxing said, "Spirit stones are also essential resources for cultivation. If your family is not short of spirit stones, I can also find a way to exchange them for what you need..."
Lan Zhi waved her hand and said, "No need. Just spiritual stones. Just give me whatever you want... But my neighbors on both sides don't want to sell their houses, so you can't be my neighbor..."
Shangguan Jianxing said, "It's okay. At worst, I can come to your house every day to see you."
Lan Zhi frowned and shook her head, "That won't do. The people in the palace are still keeping an eye on my family..."
Shangguan Jianxing said, "So what? I've hypnotized him. From today on, he will be a kind gentleman."
Lan Zhi was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "...When Prince Rui returns, won't he follow the clues from his son and find you?"
"No." Shangguan Jianxing said confidently. He was about to brag about how powerful his ability was, but then he remembered that Lan Zhi was immune to his ability, so he shut up.
"Brother~"
A soft voice sounded, and Jiang Qingcheng came out dragging a large bag, "I've packed everything, let's go!"
Jiang Qingcheng looked at Shangguan Jianxing with shining eyes.
Shangguan Jianxing shrugged and turned to look at Lan Zhi.
Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, there's no need to move. You two can just live in the mansion."
"Didn't you say that only your eldest brother can authorize others to enter your house?" Shangguan Jianxing asked.
"Oh, I was kidding. Actually, I can do it too." Lan Zhi replied.
"Didn't you say you would rent a house for us?" Jiang Qingcheng was unhappy. She wanted a maid!
Lan Zhi said, "If you pay for it yourself, I don't mind you living outside."
"I spent all my money on the road, sister, you are so heartless and stingy, aren't you? I heard that the Lan family owns several shops and can make money every month just by lying down. Are you reluctant to spend even this little money on me?"
"I can't bear to leave."
"You..." Jiang Qingcheng snorted. She used to envy Lan Zhi for having a brother, and now she also had a brother. Jiang Qingcheng felt that someone was backing her up, so she shook Shangguan Jianxing's sleeve and said, "Brother, let's move out. The Lan family relies on one housekeeper to run everything, and it's so shabby..."
I don’t know if it’s because of hypnosis, but I always feel that Jiang Qingcheng speaks and acts more boldly, and her true nature is gradually revealed.
To this, Shangguan Jianxing responded with only one word: "Be good."
Jiang Qingcheng suddenly became quiet.
The courtyard where Lanzhi lived was called "Zhilan Courtyard." On either side of the courtyard wall were two round gates with hanging flowers. Passing through the right gate was the "Lotus Garden." There used to be a lotus pond here, but it had been abandoned. The Lotus Garden had five rooms. Lanzhi said, "You can live here. If you get bored, you can walk around."
There is nothing shameful in the Lan Mansion. The warehouse is maintained by a formation, so there is no need to worry about anyone breaking in.
"It's too dirty here!" Jiang Qingcheng entered the room in the middle. There were side rooms on both sides of the room, which were usually for maids to live in. There was a lot of dust in the room.
Lan Zhi said, "The housekeeper has been in a bad mood recently. He only cleaned the courtyards where people live, and left the uninhabited courtyards alone... You guys should clean it up yourselves."
"I have never done this kind of work since I was a child..." Jiang Qingcheng felt wronged, and her eyes were a little moist. She used to live in the room next to Lan Zhi. It was very clean and spacious, but there was no ear room.
"Haven't you ever cleaned before?" Shangguan Jianxing smiled and said, "Everything has a first time. I'll leave this place to you."
"Okay, brother." Jiang Qingcheng felt a little resistant inside, but still obeyed obediently.
Shangguan Jianxing saw Jiang Qingcheng go out to wash the rag, so he said to Lan Zhi: "According to the agreement just now, I will pay you some spirit stones first."
"Um."
Seeing that she had nothing in her hands, Shangguan Jianxing said, "I'll give it to you in your yard."
Lan Zhi thought that he didn't want Jiang Qingcheng to see it, so she nodded in agreement. However, after arriving at Zhilan Courtyard, Shangguan Jianxing poured out a lot of spirit stones, piling them up like a small mountain. The height of the spirit stones was already as high as Lan Zhi.
“Enough, enough…”
Lan Zhi hurriedly called for a stop.
All the spirit stones were pure white, without a trace of impurities, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. Lan Zhi grabbed a spirit stone and felt the abundant spiritual energy within. She couldn't help but gasp and looked at Shangguan Jianxing, "You are really rich..."
"It's just okay. I still have a lot. If you run out, you can always ask me for more." Shangguan Jianxing said indifferently.
His family has more than a dozen spirit stone mines and controls spirit springs and spirit veins, so these are the things he has the most of.
Lan Zhi put them into the butterfly storage space.
"Huh?" Shangguan Jianxing couldn't help but glance at her and said, "The Da Rui Kingdom has very few space storage spiritual artifacts. I didn't expect you to have one..."
What he didn't say next was that he had originally thought that if Lan Zhi didn't have one, he would contact his family and ask them to send one to him, but now it seems that is no longer necessary.
Lan Zhi said: "Someone gave this to me."
Shangguan Jianxing didn't ask any more questions, so Lan Zhi continued, "I'll summon the beast and show it to you."
"That's fine. Let me see how you take care of it." Shangguan Jianxing nodded.
Lan Zhi raised her hand and summoned the ferocious beast White Jade.
“Ouch~!”
As soon as Bai Feicui appeared, he was about to roar to the sky, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lan Zhi forcefully closed it with both hands.
After not seeing it for a few days, the wounds on Bai Feicui's body had completely healed. It had grown bigger and became as big as a horse. Its fur was as white as snow, but its eyes were still a gloomy green, full of ferocity.
"What did you feed it?" Shangguan Jianxing asked.
"I only fed it a little snake meat..." Lan Zhi said, her expression slightly changed. "Oh no, it won't eat my Amber, will it?"
Shangguan Jianxing asked confusedly, "What amber?"
"Amber is a little hamster I raised..." Lan Zhi tried to contact Amber, and Amber conveyed her happy emotions, saying that she was fine and living a good and comfortable life in the white jade tree.
Lan Zhi felt relieved and introduced Shangguan Jianxing, "I named this beast White Jade..."
Lan Zhi was very pleased with the name. The more she said it, the better it sounded. She asked, "Do you think I should beat White Jade often? It's growing too fast. The last time I saw it, it was only the size of a tiger or lion."
上官简行说：“不要总打它，要恩威并济，偶尔打一打就可以了，打完它要给它疗伤，跟它培养感情……凶兽骨子里崇拜强者，就算有契约的束缚，它身上也始终存在傲气，因此你要揍它，把它揍疼，这样才能展现出你的权威，但在揍完之后，也要关心它，让它体会到你对它的爱护……”
He seemed to have a lot of experience in raising ferocious beasts. He circled around Bai Feicui and said, "Miss Lanzhi, you should take your ferocious beast cub out hunting. Feed it with an appropriate amount of animal blood and flesh to promote its growth. At the same time, it will also make it more convinced of you and let it know that it will only get meat if it obeys you..."
