These Should Be Enough

What?!

Someone actually dared to lay hands on Jiang Li of the Jiang Family within Nanli City?!

Everyone nearby was shocked speechless upon hearing the news.

The Jiang Family wielded towering power in Nanli City; everyone avoided them like the plague. Yet someone had actually dared to openly assassinate him!

Qi Yuan was also stunned where she stood when she heard the news.

Jiang Li had dozens of Martial Spirit Realm guards at his side, along with a Spirit Transformation Realm protector. They had all been killed?!

As far as she knew, there did not seem to be anyone in Nanli City with such strength...

Qi Yuan was deeply shocked and puzzled, but then the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably into a delighted smile.

She had never expected the Jiang Family and Jiang Li to see a day like this!

He must have been too arrogant and brutal in his daily life, offending someone he should never have offended.

He had brought this upon himself!

Luo Ruying showed no change in expression upon hearing the news.

She did not care about such matters in the slightest.

She only hoped the unrest in the city would not disturb her life from here on.

"Let's go. It's getting late; it's time to choose a residence."

Luo Ruying picked up Luo Hongye and said to Ning Yechen.

They had explored most of the city. It was time to choose a suitable home and settle down.

"What kind of house do Sister Luo and Brother Ning like?"

Qi Yuan, acting as their guide, stepped forward and asked.

As the daughter of the Qi Family Merchant Guild in Nanli Capital City, she knew every shop and rental property in the city like the back of her hand.

The Qi Family had stewards specifically in charge of each area. As long as Luo Ruying named the kind of house she liked, Qi Yuan could quickly find a suitable one.

Luo Ruying thought for a moment before saying,

"If possible, I'd like somewhere a little quieter."

She did not have high demands for a residence. What mattered was simply that the family could be together...

Qi Yuan considered it, then quickly summoned one of her family's stewards responsible for selling houses.

The steward brought Qi Yuan, Luo Ruying, and the others before a residence tucked away in a relatively secluded corner of Nanli City.

The street before the residence was empty. A few scattered trees stood outside the gates, while a babbling stream flowed behind the courtyard. The scenery was peaceful and pleasant.

Upon pushing open the courtyard gates and entering, they found the yard spacious and bright. Apart from the master bedroom, there were several side rooms in the back courtyard, as well as a kitchen and a separate bathhouse.

The entire compound was nearly as large as a small manor.

"This one isn't bad, but it seems a little too large..."

"If only three people are living here, it would be a bit too extravagant."

Although the place she had lived in within the Immortal Realm had been many times more spacious and luxurious than this, she was now a married woman and had many things to consider.

For a family of three to live in such a large residence would inevitably be somewhat wasteful.

Besides, cleaning, tidying, and maintaining the house would also be troublesome.

Most importantly, such a large residence would surely cost quite a bit of money!

Ning Yechen looked around and also found the residence quite nice. He took Luo Hongye from Luo Ruying's arms and asked with a smile,

"Yeye, do you like it here?"

"I do~"

"Anywhere with Mommy and Daddy, Yeye likes it."

Luo Hongye lay in Ning Yechen's arms and replied happily.

"Our Yeye is so well-behaved~"

Ning Yechen affectionately scratched Luo Hongye's little nose, then turned to Luo Ruying and said,

"Wife, how about we live here?"

"This place... won't it be too expensive?"

Luo Ruying pulled Ning Yechen aside and asked softly.

Who would have thought that she, the female emperor of the Immortal Realm, would one day need to worry about money...

When she had fled the Immortal Realm, all of her Immortal Rings had been taken away. Other than her cultivation, she could practically be said to have nothing...

Ning Yechen had never worried about money.

Buying the entirety of Nanli City would be no more than a single hair from nine oxen to him, let alone this tiny residence.

"Don't worry, Wife. Your husband does happen to have just a tiny little bit of money~"

Ning Yechen patted his chest and spoke with a leisurely, self-satisfied expression.

That slightly surprised Luo Ruying.

She had thought that a hunter living in seclusion among the mountains and forests like Ning Yechen would be penniless...

After all, few wealthy people would willingly choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

"Steward, my wife and I are very satisfied. We'll take this residence."

"How much is it?"

"May I ask whether you wish to stay temporarily, or buy it outright?"

The old steward walked forward with a beaming smile and asked.

"Buy it."

Ning Yechen answered without a second thought.

Luo Ruying hurriedly whispered beside Ning Yechen,

"There's no need to spend so much money buying it. Staying temporarily will do..."

They had come to Nanli City mainly to avoid the pursuit that might arrive later. They might move away again very soon, so there was absolutely no need to waste money purchasing the entire residence.

"Rest assured, Wife. It won't cost much."

Ning Yechen smiled as he comforted her, finding it rather amusing inside.

Was his wife starting to live a life of careful budgeting now...

She was becoming more and more like a gentle, virtuous little wife...

"Customer, if you intend to purchase the entire compound, it will cost two million taels."

The old steward raised two fingers as he spoke.

Without hesitation, Ning Yechen took a small pouch from his robes and tossed it into the old steward's hands.

"These should be enough."

The old steward opened the pouch in confusion. Instantly, his aged eyes froze wide open.

The pouch was filled with dazzling gemstones of all kinds, each rarer than the last!

Whether in color or shape, every one of them was exceedingly rare in this world!

There were even many he had never seen before!

The old steward put on a pair of spectacles specially used to inspect gemstones, then carefully picked up one and examined it again and again. His expression grew increasingly astonished.

With material of such purity, its value would rise dozens of times over if made into jewelry!

Having worked for the Qi Family Merchant Guild for most of his life, he had never seen gemstone material so perfect!

The value of this small pouch far exceeded two million taels!

Qi Yuan also came closer. Having grown up in a merchant guild, she could recognize the value of certain items.

When she saw the entire pouch of gemstones in the old steward's hand, her eyes widened in shock as she glanced at Ning Yechen in surprise.

So Sister Luo's husband was a wealthy young master...

"Sister Luo, Brother Ning, these gemstones are enough to pay for this residence, but Qi Yuan cannot accept them."

Qi Yuan took the entire pouch of gemstones and handed it back to Ning Yechen.

"Sister Luo saved my life. Let this residence serve as my thanks for her life-saving grace."

"How could that do?"

Luo Ruying wanted to refuse, but Ning Yechen beat her to it. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he smiled at Qi Yuan and asked,

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Qi actually has a favor to ask?"

Ever since Qi Yuan had witnessed Luo Ruying's cultivation and strength, she had been especially enthusiastic.

Part of it was due to admiration and gratitude, but Ning Yechen had also noticed something from her occasionally hesitant expression.

The reason Qi Yuan was being so enthusiastic seemed to be that she wanted to ask his wife for a favor.

At his words, Luo Ruying turned her gaze toward Qi Yuan.

Seeing that she had already been seen through, Qi Yuan no longer hid it. She bowed solemnly to Luo Ruying and pleaded,

"I truly do have a request..."

"Sister Luo, I want to ask you to save the Qi Family!"
