Chapter 27 : New place

| As the fight was at its end, we start to walk away from the scene of bodies on the ground.|

[ I wonder if some of them are dead... I hope not that would be annoying, by the looks of it,they don't deserve such a peaceful death.]

"Now that's done, should we get back to what we were doing?"

What exactly were we doing?

"I'm not sure, I think I forgot. The fight was too entertaining."

You're not wrong but didn't you say you already had a plan?

"Yeah, I remember that part, but I can't recall why we were wandering around."

/Actually, it's me who's walking, not you./

" Well is that even our fault, you won't even let us touch the floor."

Just shut up for once, I will lose my ears because of you.

"Say that one more time and I'll bite you. You keep saying that as if you're any better, annoying."

/ Will I have to hear you two bicker every day./

|With synchronized precision, both Xuan and I let out a yes, our voices blending seamlessly in unison, Yulong giving as a response a heavy sigh.|

" Well my interest level is as unpredictable as the weather, and it's all about how I'm feeling in the moment in short it will depend on my mood."

/On your mood ?/

Just a heads up, her mood doesn't really change much; it's pretty consistent.

" You really wanna-"

/ Ok that's enough I don't need another peep from any of you until we get to our soon to be place, unless you want to find out the consequences ?/

" You don't scare me old man."

/ Oh?/

| Haoxuan leans in close and whispers to me.|

Look, just do me a favor and stay quiet.  I don't care how fearless or bold you are right now just don't get on his nerves, because if things go south, you'll have to deal with it alone and I mean it.

" Coward"

Your words not mine, I am more cautious than you that is all.

| After some time, Yulong comes to a halt before a small, run-down house that's up for sale with a slightly wide backyard. I gaze at him in disbelief, desperately hoping he won't do what I fear he might.|

[ Don't tell me...]

/ Let's take this one./

" You have to be kidding me."

Huh

/ What do you mean ? You don't like it ?/

" What do you think ? Out of all the places you could take, you choose this ?"

/ Tell me do you have any money on your hands ?/

" I don't have hands, I have paws just so you know and no I do not."

/ Do you have any Haoxuan ?/

No sir.

/ I'm taking this place cause this is what we can afford and why are you even complaining were you not living in the forest not long ago ?/

" Hey, old man, there's a huge difference between here and the lovely place we had to leave all because of you. This place barely has any trees; it's just a plain, ugly patch of grass. So obviously, I'm not happy with it."

I'm not complaining.

" Of course you aren't."

[ I can see the disgust in your eyes, stop pretending.]

/ You'll have to get used to it for now you little brat or I'll hang you upside down for an hour./

[ Even if you try,I won't let you catch me old man.]

| Yulong surprises the buyer by purchasing the house. The buyer is taken aback that such a "handsome young master" would choose this shabby place, and I totally agree with his astonishment. As we step inside, the buyer finally releases us, and Haoxuan stretches his limbs and heads straight for that sickly tree that could snap at any moment, ready to take a nap. For some reason, I feel the urge to give him a little slap, but instead, I decide to explore the place and search for a secret spot where I can hide away from everyone.|

[ I hope he has an awful nap over there.On the bright side I can use the system freely if I can find a good place to do so.]

| After a while I found a suitable place to use but it would need some arrangements as it looked slightly uncomfortable to stay in.|

" Better than nothing I guess sigh, I miss that beautiful place."
