After getting rid of that disgusting troublemaker, Mr. Wang, the world seemed to be peaceful again.
The smear articles and accusations circulating online have disappeared without a trace, and the recommended resources in the live stream have returned to normal, even slightly better than before.
That planner, Liu, seemed to have vanished into thin air, and they never dared to contact them again.
Zhang Shaozhong estimated that Mr. Wang was probably left with a considerable psychological scar and would not dare to provoke them again in the short term.
It's a pity that the movie couldn't be made, but every cloud has a silver lining.
After this incident, Zhang Shaozhong felt that renting a place all the time wasn't a good idea; it wasn't stable enough, and the two big shots were always making a fuss, which might arouse suspicion from the neighbors.
With his stable income from live streaming and some savings from before, he had an idea – to buy a house!
Or at least rent a more independent and private space.
He shared this idea with Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier, and immediately received a positive response.
Ye Meier was the first to raise her hand in agreement: "We should have moved a long time ago! This lousy house has terrible soundproofing, I can't even play games at a high volume! We should find a place with a big balcony and a full-length mirror, so I can stretch my muscles!" (Her idea of stretching her muscles might include some indescribable magical exercises.)
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly: "Although this place has been adjusted, the energy is still mixed and there are too many neighbors, which is not conducive to quiet cultivation. It would be better to find a quiet place to live alone."
With the approval of the two bigwigs, Zhang Shaozhong immediately took action.
His requirements were clear: a detached house with a yard, the location could be a little out of the way, but the environment and privacy had to be good.
After searching online for several days and visiting several places in person, he finally settled on a two-story Chinese-style courtyard house with a small yard located in the suburbs.
The house isn't brand new, but it's well-maintained, with white walls and gray tiles, and a small courtyard. Most importantly, the neighbors on both sides are quite far apart, ensuring a good level of privacy.
Although the rent is much more expensive than my current apartment, it's still within my budget.
Sign the contract, move!
Throughout the entire process, the two bigwigs were basically "hands-off managers".
Night Enchantress only cared about her new walk-in closet and the large balcony where she could sunbathe.
Ling Qingxue was very satisfied with the small courtyard and had already begun planning where to plant what kind of "spiritual plants".
Zhang Shaozhong was exhausted, packing, contacting moving companies, cleaning the new house... he did all the work by himself.
"Hey, gentlemen, we're practically a 'family' now, shouldn't we set some rules?"
On the first night after moving, Zhang Shaozhong slumped on the brand-new sofa and made a listless suggestion.
"rule?"
Ye Meier was excitedly running around the new house when she heard this, so she stopped and raised an eyebrow at him. "What rules? I am the rule!"
Ling Qingxue sat upright in her newly bought armchair, sipping her tea, and said calmly, "Without rules, there can be no order. Now, tell me."
Zhang Shaozhong sat up straight and started counting on his fingers: "First, and most importantly, safety first! You can do whatever you want at home, just don't tear the house down!"
"When you're out and about, keep a low profile and don't use your supernatural powers unnecessarily unless you're in mortal danger!" (He was mainly looking at Ye Meier)
Ye Meier pursed her lips, but did not refute.
After what happened with President Wang, she also realized that some rules of this world cannot be openly broken.
"Second, financial transparency and joint maintenance! I manage all the revenue from live streaming and consulting fees, which are used for rent, living expenses, and necessary reserves."
If you two have any large spending needs, please apply in advance!
His main focus was on the endless stream of packages from Ye Meier.
Ye Meier snorted, "I know! You stingy boy!"
"Third, maintain internal harmony and prohibit fighting! If there are any conflicts, you can...you can debate! But you can't fight, and you definitely can't use magic to bombard each other! We must cherish our hard-won new home!"
He looked at Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier!
Ling Qingxue gave a faint "hmm".
Ye Meier rolled her eyes: "Who wants to fight her?"
Fourth, sharing household chores is everyone's responsibility!
Zhang Shaozhong emphasized in conclusion, "Before, the room was small, so I could just do more work."
Now that the house is bigger, the yard also needs to be taken care of. I can't keep doing all the work by myself!
Fairy, you are responsible for keeping the study and your own room tidy, as well as the flowers and plants in the yard.
"Ma'am, you're responsible for keeping the common areas clean, and... don't create too much trash!"
Before Ye Meier could protest, Zhang Shaozhong quickly added, "Of course, I'll still cook! But we'll have to take turns washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen!"
After a series of "friendly negotiations," mainly involving Zhang Shaozhong's unilateral demands and the two bigwigs' reluctant acceptance, the new "family rules" were initially established.
Moving into a new home definitely feels different.
With more space and better privacy, even the air seemed fresher.
Ling Qingxue quickly planted a few green bamboos and some ordinary flowers and plants in the courtyard. Although they didn't have any spiritual energy, they were pleasing to the eye.
Ye Meier occupied the best-lit balcony, setting up a beanbag chair and a small coffee table, turning it into her "exclusive relaxation area."
Looking at his new home, which was gradually taking on the shape of a "home," Zhang Shaozhong felt much more at ease.
He began to wonder if he could turn this place into a more stable "base".
Even... if we meet like-minded people like Mo Huaiyuan in the future, could we have limited contact and exchanges to form a loose little circle?
This idea excited him somewhat.
After all, in this world where spiritual energy is depleted, having some "kindred spirits" to look after each other and exchange information is better than the three of them fighting alone.
Of course, all of this must be done slowly and with caution.
A new environment, a new beginning.
With the two big shots in their new home, Zhang Shaozhong felt an even heavier burden on his shoulders. But seeing them leisurely admiring the bamboo in the yard and lazily sunbathing on the balcony, he felt that all the hard work was worthwhile.
This chaotic and unexpected modern life between immortals and demons has turned a new page.
In the future, many more stories will likely unfold in this small courtyard.
