Hongli waved her hand and followed Heiyang, leaving the shopkeeper looking completely bewildered.
…………
“We are already remnants of the old era.”
Hongli sighed repeatedly: "In such a vast Five-Colored City, there isn't a single place to lie down?"
"It's not a big problem!"
Hei Yang snorted lightly: "Let's go to the next stop!"
"Where's the next stop?"
"The pavilion in the middle of the lake."
"good idea!"
.........
Inside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Hong Li and Hei Yang stared expressionlessly at the two people in front of them.
The current Grand Elder Yao of the Medicine King Sect, and the Sect Master who sits in the same wheelchair as the City Lord.
"that……"
Elder Yao Yang looked at the two of them somewhat awkwardly: "The scenery here is pleasant; it's a good place to recuperate..."
"My name is Shi Xing, and I greet you both!"
Shi Xing nodded to the two men with a respectful expression: "I haven't yet formally thanked you both for saving my life, but the Grand Elder and I are both extremely grateful!"
"Um……"
Hei Yang looked at Shi Xing's broken limbs and frowned, saying, "Can't you heal this injury? Do you need my help?"
"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. I have already taken the healing pills and am just waiting to recover slowly."
Shi Xing explained, "However, I used my supernatural powers to detonate my limbs, which caused great damage. It will take some time for me to recover. I apologize for trespassing into your territory!"
"No, no, no, we're not mountain bandits, our territory is quite something..."
Hei Yang waved his hand speechlessly: "Forget it, you guys rest here. We two... uh, we two are just passing by."
What else could he say?
He's in such a miserable state, how could he possibly say, "Go cool off somewhere else and make room for me to sleep!"
"We have already made contact with our fellow disciples..."
Yao Yang looked at Hong Li and explained, "Once that celestial dog died, the demonic beasts it had concealed with its supernatural powers were quickly found by the Daoists of the Boundless Sword Sect and the Five Elements Sect."
Besides that celestial dog, two other Nascent Soul demonic beasts also invaded our human territory, and they have now been annihilated.
The sect is currently tallying the number of casualties and, with the help of the former Grand Elder, is organizing the sect leader's notes.
Once everything settles down, they'll come with the ransom... uh, I mean, the compensation money, and then we'll leave on our own."
"Specific time?"
Hong Li's expression turned serious; she wasn't so easily fooled.
"Maximum deadline?"
"Well, they'll definitely be here before the end of the year!"
After a pause, Yao Yang added, "I guarantee that you two won't be short a single spirit stone!"
"That's pretty much it..."
Hong Li sighed and glanced at Shi Xing beside her. This guy almost killed both her father and Hei Yang's father. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't do it on purpose, she would have chopped him up by now...
Now she and Hei Yang are only asking for some compensation, which is already more than enough!
When Hei Yang recounted what happened, she was terrified and filled with lingering fear.
For this, they even sent a special letter to thank Elder Huo Le, because if it weren't for his timely reminder...
Hong Li once went to the sea with a gun to save the elders, and now the elders have helped them save their families.
Cultivation is about maintaining an unwavering mind, not about becoming cold and indifferent. Even the immortals in mythology value human relationships and social interactions.
.........
"What should we do now?"
Leaving the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Hongli looked at Heiyang helplessly: "Are we really going to have to sleep on the streets now?"
"Oh, this, it can't be that bad..."
Hei Yang's lips twitched, then he suddenly remembered something: "Um, what about our airship? Can't we rest inside it too?"
"Na."
Hongli opened her palm and displayed the shrunken mini airship to Heiyang: "If you want to fly an airship in the city, do you want to become a lawless outlaw?"
"Ah this..."
Black Sun's eyes darted upwards, imagining himself piloting an airship, recklessly crashing through the city...
"hiss--"
"See?"
Hongli rolled her eyes: "You don't even think before you speak!"
Besides, running an airship consumes spirit stones, which is more expensive than rent! You spendthrift!
"at this point……"
Hei Yang sighed and pulled a folded map from his pocket: "Do you remember what Mom and Dad told us? They told us to move out and live in our own new home."
"Yes!"
Hongli suddenly realized: "So what about our new home? It was what they promised!"
Hei Yang: "Uh, we haven't even started building it yet!"
Hongli: "???"
"Because they don't know where we like to live, or what kind of house we want..."
Hei Yang unfolded the map, which was a map of Five-Colored City, except that it was marked with patches of green, unused land.
High places, flat land, riverside, near forests, suburbs, city center...
"Let's choose any piece of land from the Five Colors family."
Hei Yang spread the map out completely on the ground and pointed to the gray marker: "This is someone else's vacant land, but we can still negotiate."
"And what about this red area?"
Hongli frowned: "Is this land inhabited or used by someone?"
"See for yourself!"
Hei Yang pointed speechlessly and said, "Your house, my house, the city lord's mansion, other people's houses..."
Hei Yang paused, glanced around, and whispered, "But Mom and Dad said that if we really want some red territory, we can just throw money at it and buy it..."
"hiss!"
Hongli gasped, "Damn rich people!"
Hei Yang nodded: "Indeed, the despicable privileged class!"
"Fortunately, we are the beneficiaries."
"really!"
"so……"
Hongli pointed to her own house and raised an eyebrow: "If I choose this spot, will my parents move out to make room for us?"
"I'm so grateful to Miss Hongli."
"I was just asking out of curiosity."
Hongli rolled her eyes and pointed to an open space marked with a green sign.
"What do you think of this place? It covers about two acres."
The location is high up, offering a wide view, with a stream flowing through it, lush vegetation, and it's relatively quiet, far from the city center.
"Well……"
Hei Yang stroked his chin and frowned, saying, "It's nice to be away from the city center, but this place is quite far from both my parents' houses, making it inconvenient to visit each other..."
"Please, dear brother, we are Golden Core cultivators, we can fly!"
"Oh, that's alright then!"
"so……"
Hongli tilted her head: "When can we move in with our bags?"
"Don't ask me, I have no experience."
Hei Yang shrugged: "My house is older than me."
