Since Ye Youlong had already agreed, Xiao Zhan didn’t say much more.
Of course, deep down, he still wanted to share a ho with Ye Youlong.
Upon arriving at Xiao Residence, he discovered it was built in an exceptionally picturesque location, a secluded valley with fragrant orchids, mountains, and rivers, lush and verdant, presenting a completely different scene from the snowy world outside.
Walking here felt like entering another world from the one before.
And there was nobody else inside; only the Xiao family resided here.
Plus, with heavy military protection, it truly could be described as safe and comfortable.
"In this snowy world, to carve out such a vibrant realm must have cost a pretty penny, right?" Xiao Zhan asked Ghost Abacus.
Changing the climate of an area wasn’t a difficult feat, but it was an expensive one.
Ghost Abacus nodded, honest for once, "I didn’t want to spend so much either, but Hose forced my hand, and I had no choice."
"He forced you?"
"He couldn’t force , but he could persuade you, the master, not to involve in making money anymore."
That explained why Ghost Abacus was so willing to spend.
To give is to receive.
"Seeing the benefits in the distance, not bad."
Xiao Zhan opened the Dinsion Space and took out all the Sixth Grade and fifth grade Demon Beast corpses he had stored inside.
"These corpses of Sixth Grade Demon Beasts are for you; their value shouldn’t be less than this mansion, right?"
Sixth Grade Demon Beasts were not sothing regular folk could hunt.
Every part of them held imnse value.
So parts were so precious that they were priceless and incredibly rare.
Ghost Abacus was initially shocked by the sight of so many Demon Beast corpses but soon his eyes shone with greed.
"Enough, more than enough. You are truly the master, turning a profit with such flair, making a fortune out of thin air."
"What do you an ’fortune out of thin air’? It’s my life on the line; if I lost it, that would be the end of everything for ."
Xiao Zhan retorted.
Who would risk their life if they could beco stronger with money?
He then proceeded into Xiao Residence. The interior was exquisitely luxurious and styled to his liking.
"Who would have thought a guy like , an orphan, would have a ho of his own..."
Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but sigh.
Who could imagine that, just three years ago, he was an orphan and now he has beco a married orphan.
Right, speaking of ’ho’.
Xiao Zhan hadn’t even held a wedding with Ye Youlong yet.
Although marriage certificates no longer existed in this world, the ceremony of a wedding still remained.
Xiao Zhan sincerely longed for a wedding and felt he owed Ye Youlong one.
I an, who wouldn’t want to see their wife in a wedding dress?
And considering his imminent demise.
Xiao Zhan wondered if he should also make a list like those people on the internet used to do, outlining a hundred things he and Ye Youlong should do together?
Hmm, sothing to plan and consider.
With nothing else to do and it being late, Xiao Zhan went to sleep in his new room.
And what to do on a new bed?
Obviously, to roll in the sheets.
...
The next morning after waking up.
Without much to do, Xiao Zhan thought about organizing the things in the Dinsion Space.
There were many items in the Dinsion Space, but a large portion was occupied by Black Stone and Secret Realm Origin Soil.
To organize the Dinsion Space, he needed to deal with these two massive items first.
But Black Stone won’t be taken out, after all, it’s to be used as an attack weapon.
Let’s deal with the Secret Realm Origin Soil first.
Xiao Zhan took Ye Youlong outside the mansion, where there is a ravine at the intersection of ice and snow near the mansion, the only flawed terrain.
Hose wanted to fill the ravine, but Ghost Abacus thought it would be too costly and refused.
Besides, the ravine didn’t affect the mansion’s existence, it even seed to add so depth to the scenery.
So, Ghost Abacus rejected the idea.
No matter how Hose requested, Ghost Abacus sternly refused.
Xiao Zhan ca to the edge of the cliff and released his Perception to estimate the volu of the ravine.
He then compared it with the soil from the Secret Realm Origin and found that the two were a close match.
He decided this was the place.
"Plant the seed here, it’s not far from the mansion."
"Okay, I’ll follow your lead," Ye Youlong said.
Then, Xiao Zhan opened the Dinsion Space and poured all the soil into the ravine like dumping trash.
In no ti, the ravine was filled.
Next, Xiao Zhan took out the seed and buried it in the soil.
The seed, like a sponge eting water, imdiately began to absorb frantically.
"I wonder what this seed will grow into?" Xiao Zhan said.
A seed that can only grow with the help of Secret Realm Origin.
Just this tricky recipe itself surely destined the seed to be special.
Hope it doesn’t turn out to be sothing useless.
"Li Teng."
"Master."
Li Teng appeared before him like a shadow, kneeling on one knee.
Xiao Zhan ordered, "Protect this seed for , anyone who wants to approach must have my permission. Rember, anyone."
"Yes, I understand."
After dealing with the soil and the seed.
Xiao Zhan returned inside the mansion.
Then, he gathered everyone including Hose and Liu Xin.
"I’ve been feeling uneasy lately, like sothing big is going to happen. Hose, redesign a set of fortification rebuilding plans, don’t worry about the cost. Rember one principle, absolute security must be ensured."
Hearing this, Hose’s expression was very serious, "Master, is it that serious? What big event is it?"
To reinforce defenses regardless of cost would allow the use of the world’s most advanced and precious materials.
Such a cost is not sothing ordinary people can afford.
Even so Federations couldn’t afford it.
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I don’t know, it’s just a premonition."
After coming back, he always felt that there was sothing wrong with these Demon Beasts, the Fla Shadow Wolf, and the Ghost Snake that appeared in the Lizard Federation, as if they were from the sa source.
Is this really a coincidence?
He didn’t believe it.
"You’re kidding, just because of a premonition, you want to spend all my money?" Ghost Abacus suddenly cried out in distress.
But he didn’t dare to yell at Xiao Zhan, only at Hose.
Hose could not stand his greed for money and the way he bullied the weak but feared the strong, "It won’t be spent all, your wealth is enough to rival nations, just rebuilding a few defense lines won’t deplete it."
"You would say that, it’s not your money being spent."
"I can donate my money willingly too."
"With that little money you have, what can you do? It can’t even buy an Energy Cannon mount, just enough for your own eating and drinking."
Listening to their quarrel, Xiao Zhan felt a bit annoyed.
He spoke to stop them.
"Enough, stop arguing. Money can be earned again, if we can’t earn it, I can take you all to rob or even steal. But once life is gone, everything is over."
