Chapter 119 Buying a House
Qian Jingyao nodded gently and responded briefly but firmly, "Okay."
Xia Yueke was standing aside, her eyes sparkling with intelligence. She smiled and waved to Ayang, saying crisply:
"Ayang, see you the day after tomorrow. We must perform well then!"
Ayang also timidly returned the smile and whispered, "Okay, Keke, see you the day after tomorrow."
Then, the orcs of the Sheep Tribe turned and walked towards the area where the sheep lived. Their figures gradually merged into the intricate streets and alleys of the Beast City.
Qian Jingyao stood there, looking in the direction they were going, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, turned to Xia Yueke and said:
"Let's go, let's go look around the house first and find a suitable place to settle down and prepare for the test the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, he took Xia Yueke and Qing Yan to the residential area of Beast City.
Xia Yueke was like a slippery little fish. She struggled hard and slipped out of Qian Jingyao's arms, not forgetting to make a face at him.
"I haven't gotten a good look at Beast City yet. I have to see the houses and layout with my own eyes, otherwise my curiosity will kill me!"
Walking on the streets of Beast City, Xia Yueke looked around on her own, and seemed extremely curious about everything.
The closer you get to the bustling central area, the louder the noise becomes.
On both sides of the street, orcs were sitting or standing, setting up stalls like they were doing business. The scene was like a bizarre trade fair.
Some of those orcs were as big as hills, with muscles all over their bodies, and they placed a pile of animal cores on the animal skin in front of them.
Some were as thin as bamboo poles, with some strange things in front of them, and they were talking like a machine gun:
"Hey, look at this treasure! I got it from that evil Misty Forest after a narrow escape. If you use it, your beastly strength will increase dramatically, making you the overlord of beasts overnight!"
Others were hawking animal hides and herbs at the top of their lungs, their voices so loud they shook the dust off the beams. "Freshly baked animal hides! These herbs are guaranteed to cure all ailments. If they don't work, don't even get the animal core!"
They held tightly in their hands the beast cores that Qian Jingyao had mentioned before, shining in the sunlight, as if showing off their worth.
Xia Yuke's little face immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and she kept shaking Qian Jingyao's arm.
"Yaoyao, do you have enough beast cores in your pocket to buy a house? I don't want us to end up sleeping on the street like stray dogs."
Qian Jingyao was amused by her and tapped her little head.
"Don't worry, Coco. I brought all the beast cores I saved from hunting. We're not broke."
Qingyan was staring at a small insect nearby, but his ears were like radar. When he heard the word "beast core", he rushed over with a "whoosh" smell, "Yue, do you like beast cores?"
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. "Of course not. This thing is money now. Who can resist money? I love money so much. Money is my lifeblood!"
Xia Yueke thought to herself that money can solve many problems. With money, she will feel safe. She loves money the most!
When Qingyan heard this, his eyes lit up like fireworks.
"I have, Yue, I have a lot!"
Then he waved his hand and took out a handful of colorful beast cores from the space like a magic trick. The light was like a pile of big diamonds, which shone so brightly that Xia Yueke almost thought she was going blind.
"Wow~ Qingyan, you are a hidden talent, a real rich man!"
"Xia Yueke's face flushed with excitement, like a little money-grubber who saw an endless treasure.
She pounced and hugged Qingyan's thighs tightly, her heart blossoming with joy. From now on, she no longer has to worry about anything. She can buy whatever she wants, hahahaha...
Qing Yan was so shocked by Xia Yueke's sudden action that he was stunned. He stood there blankly as if he was under a spell.
His originally handsome face was now filled with confusion, his eyes were wide open, staring straight at Xia Yueke who was hugging his thighs tightly.
"Yue, as long as you are happy, these beast cores will be yours."
Qing Yan said this and stuffed all the animal cores into Xia Yueke's animal skin pocket.
Qian Jingyao, who was standing by, saw Qing Yan's flattering look, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly criticized in his heart:
This idiot is usually stupid and silly, but unexpectedly he is very smart when it comes to pleasing Xia Yueke!
Xia Yueke looked at the many beast cores in her animal hide pocket, her eyes curved with laughter, "Qingyan, where did you get so many beast cores?"
Qing Yan scratched his head and said hesitantly:
"After I woke up, I went to the fog and forest to look for food. When I saw those monsters, I wondered if they were delicious. Then, I ate them. I didn't expect that these things could not be chewed, so I spit them out. They looked good, so I kept them."
Xia Yue didn't expect that Qing Yan was so lucky. Aren't monsters said to be very ferocious?
Could it be that the power of Warcraft and the evil beast is comparable?
After Qian Jingyao withdrew his gaze, he continued to plan for Xia Yueke's future. He asked around for information about house prices and housing availability.
I also asked around a bit with the orcs who were selling stone and wooden houses.
After some research, I found out that the house prices in different areas are very different.
Considering that Xia Yueke would go to school in the future, he set his sights on the area close to the central square and the school.
The roads next to the houses there are wide and the surrounding atmosphere is more suitable for Xia Yueke's growth and life.
Among the many houses, a stone house caught Qian Jingyao's attention.
The stone house has a spacious courtyard with a staggered layout, which seems to be specially designed for females with three or five partners.
Although Xia Yueke did not have many companions, Qian Jingyao thought to himself that Qingyan's beast form was so huge that it would be difficult for it to accommodate in a small space.
"Let's choose this larger stone house. This way, Coco can live comfortably and I don't have to worry about crowding her."
Qian Jingyao muttered to himself.
Moreover, in Beast City, where various orcs gather, there may occasionally be some small conflicts or attacks by wild beasts. The thick walls of the stone house can provide strong security.
Stone itself has good thermal insulation properties. Whether it is a hot summer or a cold winter, the temperature inside a stone house is relatively stable, making it more comfortable to live in.
"Keke, how about that stone house? It's not only spacious, but also closer to the school, which is more convenient."
Qian Jingyao pointed at the stone house, squatted down and asked Xia Yueke.
Xia Yueke looked in that direction and saw a stone house standing quietly not far away.
The stone house is built of large gray stones. Although the surface of the stones is a bit rough, there is a spacious courtyard on one side of the stone house. The courtyard is surrounded by a low wooden fence, and the land inside is flat and open.
"Okay, this is it!"
