Chapter 469: 469: Buying a House... and a Forest?

At the secluded mansion of Yue Xuexia.

The mansion was medium in size and is surrounded with fertile lands, river and forest. It was located at the corner of the Herb Valley. It can be said that the privacy of this place was not bad. Before the adult liger had come to see them, the seller of the mansion had accompanied Yue Xuexia and the three cubs to this mansion. Yue Xuexia was a bit dissatisfied with how it was too far from the dragon veins under the land.

Yue Xuexia said to the house seller, "Is there no other mansion near the main qi earth vein with the same requirements as I’ve said before."

"My lady, those places are saved for the doctors and pill refiners under the Pill Refiner Association. If you wish to buy a place at the center of the valley you must register with the Valley. Are you planning to stay in this place for good?" The house seller asked.

Yue Xuexia said, "No. However, I still wanted the best location even if I am only staying for a short while."

All of the sudden, Shen Jueyang’s voice rang in her head.

{Xue’er, buy this place. The system had found something under this area. A special place where you can sign in and get rewards.} Shen Jueyang said.

Upon hearing this the frown on Yue Xuexia’s face disappeared and looked at the house seller.

"How much is the mansion and the hundred meter land around it?" Yue Xuexia asked.

The seller of the place was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that this mysterious lady would still choose to buy the place even though she was dissatisfied with it. He forgot to answer for a while because of this.

He asked, "Does my lady wish to buy this place? Also the forest around it? It will cost a lot."

"Bring me the one who can decide for this place," Yue Xuexia brought out the spirit stones she got from selling the Longevity Pill in the Heavenly City’s Crimson Cloud Pavilion. She got a few millions worth of spirit stones thanks to that transaction alone.

Upon seeing a few mountains of spirit stones that appeared beside the veiled lady, the seller of the place was dumbfounded, his eyes turned round in shock and was dazed for a moment. Only when his subordinate had called for him many times did he wake up.

"Dear customer, I will call the owner of the land as soon as possible! Please give me some time!"

He instantly said to his subordinate, "Come get Elder Susan here! Also bring the title deeds of this whole area including the forest region. Do it fast!"

"Y-Yes, Sir!"

After waiting for half an hour, the owner of the place Elder Susan, an old man who looks like a shaman arrived with a few of her grandchildren with her. They didn’t expect to meet someone who is willing to buy their useless land and forest. When they arrived on the scene, they saw the seller they found for their land and mansion running around a few piles of spirit stones and started counting it with his other subordinates. She and her grandchildren were shocked to see just huge wealth spread on the ground like ordinary stones.

Elder Susan was stunned by this scene for a moment and looked for the potential buyer of the place. She saw two toddlers, one boy and one girl, playing at the river not far from them. However, the more she stares the more she feels that these two children aren’t humans. There is also a mutated Sky Liger cub running around the forest with the children uncaring for strangers like them. This shows how much security these three cubs had for the adult that was with them.

Finally, the old shaman noticed a veiled young lady at the stone table having some tea looking lazy and bored. She looks like a weak young lady without any men to protect her. But her instincts were telling her that this young lady is extremely dangerous. Much more mysterious than the oldest doctor in the Herb Valley.

She tried to pry at the young lady’s background and was shocked by the result. A huge moon appeared behind her. Turning black, silver and red mixing with black clouds with lightning storms terrifying her soul. She wanted to look closer but a burning sun suddenly fell on her and she abruptly woke up in reality cutting off her connection to the spiritual realm.

She heard a threatening cold voice that almost left her deaf saying only one word,

Scram!

In reality, Elder Susan’s soul was struck mercilessly by Shen Jueyang who didn’t spy on Yue Xuexia. Like what happened to Elder Kun before this old lady had suffered a backlash from him as well. She coughed blood and was affected to suffer a bit of injury in her internal organs.

COUGH!

"Grandmother!"

"Woman! What did you do to my Granny?!"

The few strong looking men and women pulled out their weapons as they shouted at Yue Xuexia. Thankfully, before they could make a move the old lady had stopped them or things wouldn’t have ended easily for them. Especially the two toddlers who are sensitive towards malice directed towards their master. A hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of Yue Huashui and Yue Huaxue.

Elder Susan shouted at her two grandchildren. "Gin’er, A’Ju, stop right now!"

"But granny, she made you cough blood!"

"This bitch must have..."

Slapped!

Elder Susan slapped her grandson, A’Ju and said with urgency. "Watch your tongue! Apologize to this young miss for your rudeness! Don’t make this old lady say it again. Lower your heads!"

The two grandchildren not understanding the situation had forced her two grandchildren to bow their heads at Yue Xuexia.

"We are sorry!" They said,

The old lady approached Yue Xuexia but still kept her place at a respectful distance and even clasped her hands towards a young lady like Yue Xuexia. Normally, such action will only be done between two cultivators of the same realm or towards someone with a higher realm. For Elder Susan who is at PeaK Nascent Soul Realm to do such action shows that the standing of the veiled young lady is higher than the others had expected.

"This old lady is called Susan from the Pill Refinement Association. Nice to meet you, esteemed one!"

"The name is Yue," responded Yue Xuexia. "You must be the owner of this place. I wanted to buy it and erect a new manor in this place. If there is something you wish for payment say so. If I have it I shall give it to you."

They had also seen her make a gesture to stand down and turn around to see that the two toddler from before had disappeared. Only two sentient flower lotuses, one snow and water appeared above the river, emit killing intent towards their group. Elder Susan shivered when she noticed that these two plant spirits are both in the Nascent Soul realm. Just a few minor realms lower than her cultivation realm.

"Mommy, these bad people just raised their weapons against you!"

"Are they enemies? Can A’Shui eat them?"

Roar~

Even the Liger cub showed its cute fangs at this moment, it seems the intention of attacking Yue Xuexia done by Elder Susan’s grandchildren made these three bare their teeth against this group of humans.

Yue Xuexia said, "Stand down. Just catch your fish if you want to eat."

The two lotus flower spirits once again turned to toddlers and started running around the river and catching fishes. The more fish they catch, the more their master can cook for them. The murderous intent they had for the other group just now instantly faded as their laughter echoes within the forest happily running around the river.

As for the others, they are frozen stiff just now. Especially, when they saw the real forms of these toddlers. They never would have expected them to be plant spirits who can morph into human forms. It was said that when a plant spirit can turn into their humanoid form it means they had at least breakthrough to the realm of Golden core or above.

The others were mostly in the innate realm with the exception of Elder Susan at Peak Nascent Soul realm. If they had been attacked just except for the old lady all of them would have just died.

Yue Xuexia said, "Don’t mind the mood swings of the children. What is your answer?"

"Can this humble one ask what the esteemed guest planned to do to this place?" Elder Susan asked.

They saw her frown a bit and heard Yue Xuexia say in a tone of confusion, "What to do with the place? Of course, a place to live. You have seen the children. They like to play around and the old mansion is too small for them to run about. This forest is barely enough for these three brats. What else is there in this place? Even the qi saturation is not much. I plan to make a formation to resolve it."

"You are not going to say now that you don’t want to sell, are you? That is also fine. I can just find some place similar. That house seller there, it seems this place is not for sale. Find me a new place with the requirements I told you before."

The seller of the place glanced at Elder Susan looking a bit disappointed and frustrated. His thoughts are: ’Such a wealthy buyer, she wanted to reject her! Wasn’t the elder’s clan in need of Spirit Stones? What is she doing right now!?’

"Yes, my lady!"

Seeing that Yue Xuexia plans to leave, Elder Susan finally believes that this mysterious lady is just looking for a place to stay. Somewhere secluded, wide area and not too far from the Herb Valley. She immediately stopped her and apologized for the second time.

"Please wait. That was wrong of me to ask. Please ignore this senile old lady’s words. Let’s talk about the price of the mansion and the forest. I had everything prepared," Elder Susan said.
