The Marquis's Brother-in-law handled things smoothly. In less than two days, he had bought the deed to the land where the enormous stone stood.
Jian Ruonan went to see the stone for herself.
It was a cylindrical stone roughly thirty feet tall and ten feet across, with two small, round stones at its base.
There were no signs of carving. It was entirely natural.
Traces of incense and candle wax remained in the soil beside it. Clearly, plenty of people came to worship it after hearing of its fame.
Jian Ruonan walked halfway around the enormous stone. Isn't this the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon?!
She personally delivered her verdict: "Yes, yes, yes! An incredibly close resemblance!"
Teng whispered, "Fifth Sister, how do you know this stone looks like that thing? Have you seen one?"
That was strange. Fifth Sister wasn't married and was still a virgin. How could she have seen one...
Jian Ruonan failed to catch her breath and nearly choked herself into the next life. "Well, even if you've never eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?"
Teng's eyes darted slyly. "Which pig did you see running, Fifth Sister?"
Jian Ruonan said, "...Stay out of grown-up business, kid!"
Teng said, "Fifth Sister, I'm almost getting betrothed! I'm a grown-up too!"
This damned Great Xia, where children got betrothed around thirteen and married at fifteen or sixteen, before their bodies had even finished developing.
Jian Ruonan said, "Even if you have children, you'll always be my little brother!"
Teng sulkily shut his mouth.
The stone stood beside a lake, with mountains behind it and water before it. The surroundings were lovely, perfect for a large vacation estate. With the site survey finished, detailed planning came next.
"Dick Stone isn't a very elegant name," the Marquis's Brother-in-law
