"Da Ming, Er Ming, you finally came."
Xiao Wu was brimming with excitement. Chances to draw prizes were far too hard to obtain now.
Having someone with the combat strength of a Titled Douluo work as a security guard at Maple Forest Evening would earn her a hundred draws every month.
Once she drew a complete set of Soul Bones for her whole body, she would have a hard time not soaring.
"Sister Xiao Wu? What did you call us over for? These humans..."
The Titan Giant Ape looked disdainfully at the tiny people below.
"Er Ming, Da Ming! Do you still listen to me or not?" Xiao Wu said, her hands on her hips.
"We do... If not for you back then, we would have died long ago. Sister Xiao Wu, just tell us what you want us to do." The Sky Azure Bull Python's deep voice rang out.
The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth rose. Her Da Ming and Er Ming were still such good boys.
Then she looked excitedly at Xiao Yexuan and said:
"Landlord, didn't you say you wanted to hire security guards for Maple Forest Evening? What do you think of having these two little brothers of mine guard the gate?"
"Wh-what?"
Ning Rongrong, nestled in Xiao Yexuan's arms, was stunned by what she heard.
The two great kings of the forest-Xiao Wu was giving far too much.
No, when she went back, she had to persuade her father and grandfathers to come work for her dear Yexuan, even if it meant doing nothing else for several months.
At the same time, she formed a plan.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the most allies and shops on the Douluo Continent.
When the time came, she would use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reputation to promote Maple Forest Evening.
She believed it would not take long for Maple Forest Evening to fill up, letting her dear Yexuan live a life where all he had to do every day was collect rent.
Shocked, Meng Yiran looked at Xiao Yexuan in disbelief.
She had already thought Xiao Yexuan had a powerful background, that he belonged to the Upper Three Sects.
But to be able to have the two great kings of the forest serve as guards...
That force was probably even more terrifying.
Was she truly worthy of such an outstanding man?
Zhu Zhuqing's heart felt hollow. So Xiao Yexuan had been facing great risks from the outside world all along, which was why he was looking for security guards.
If only she could be stronger!
Xiao Yexuan had been after these two great kings of the forest in the first place, so he nodded and said happily:
"Xiao Wu, thank you so much. Maple Forest Evening is short of powerful guards."
"Landlord, we're the ones who should be thanking you. Giving us so many draws every month-th-this is simply wonderful~!"
Xiao Wu cupped her cheeks, smiling dreamily.
Next, Xiao Wu discussed it with Da Ming and Er Ming. After she explained the situation inside Maple Forest Evening, the two great kings of the forest readily agreed.
After all, when the shark girl Ellen released her Soul Rings, there really was no Soul Beast malice within that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Since the two great kings of the forest were conveniently there, Xiao Yexuan also selected a small mountain covered in maple trees and had them carry it away.
Once they returned to Maple Forest Evening, Xiao Yexuan gave the two great kings of the forest Transformation Pills, turning them into humans. They took the forms of two burly men; from now on, they would stand guard at the entrance day and night without cease.
At the same time, Xiao Yexuan signed employment contracts with Da Ming and Er Ming.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on successfully hiring security guards to ensure the residential complex's safety.] [Ding! The residential complex's safety rating has risen to two stars! When its safety rating reaches three stars, you may establish another branch outside.]
Oh, there was a reward for this too.
Xiao Yexuan had been worrying that it would be rather difficult to lure Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, and Zi JI over from the Star Dou Great Forest.
If he could open a branch, wouldn't he be able to open one directly inside the Star Dou Great Forest?
That would be simply delightful.
One Titled Douluo security guard meant one star of safety.
The maids he drew did not count. He still needed one Titled Douluo native to the Douluo Continent or a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Who should he lure over, then?
There was no hurry. Knowing the system's ways, the points required to open a branch would definitely be astronomical.
He would save up enough points first.
Meanwhile, he would wait for Tang Yuehua to visit.
Xiao Yexuan also had quite a few things to handle here.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had both expressed their love for him.
He could hardly leave them without a response.
After finishing his miscellaneous tasks, Xiao Yexuan went to the maid restaurant for a meal and teased the little maids. Just as he was about to go to sleep, he received a plea for help from Zhu Zhuqing.
The voice on the other end sounded very shy. "Landlord... I... I accidentally got stuck in the washing machine..."
"Could you come... get me out?"
Hiss...
She got stuck in the washing machine again?
Even a fool could tell that Zhu Zhuqing had definitely done it on purpose!
He had not expected the first invitation to come from Zhu Zhuqing, who was normally so reserved and unsmiling.
Sure enough, people who truly wanted to win wore no smiles.
Xiao Yexuan set the room's smart system to secluded cultivation mode.
Then he left his room and went to Zhu Zhuqing's.
Not long after Xiao Yexuan left, Ning Rongrong knocked on his door, wearing pajamas and hugging a fried-egg cushion.
Her face was full of anticipation. Beneath her loose pajamas was the sort of sexy lingerie that made one's blood race at a glance.
She had also realized what the snake she had grabbed while bathing in the Star Dou Great Forest, held in Xiao Yexuan's arms, had been...
She and Xiao Yexuan had already done that much together. He could not refuse to take responsibility, could he?
But she had come too late. Xiao Yexuan had already gone to see Zhu Zhuqing.
Of course, who could resist the temptation of someone stuck in a washing machine?
He opened Zhu Zhuqing's door with the spare key.
He opened the door to a flower in bloom!
Xiao Yexuan felt his nose grow hot, then feigned composure and said:
"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, how did you accidentally get stuck in there again? Luckily, we have experience. It won't take long this time."
"Landlord... thank you..."
Zhu Zhuqing was still very shy and said little.
Then Xiao Yexuan rubbed milk over her body.
In one smooth go, he rescued her from the washing machine.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was still covered, and her heart sank.
Her attempt at temptation had been completely useless.
Sure enough, her dear landlord was an upright gentleman.
"Zhu Zhuqing, why don't I replace your washing machine with a bigger one? Then you won't have to worry about getting stuck again."
Xiao Yexuan kindly suggested.
"No! Don't!"
Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly cried out.
Then, unwilling to accept it, she looked at Xiao Yexuan with tearful eyes and said:
"Landlord... I... I like you so much... I really want to be with you... Could you... could you..."
"Be a rogue with me just once?!"
With that, she rushed out of Xiao Yexuan's arms and crawled back into the washing machine.
Was Zhu Zhuqing already yearning for it this much?
The corners of Xiao Yexuan's mouth curled up. He felt the time was about right.
So he moved closer.
Holding those peachlike buttocks, he said gently:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're so beautiful here. I really like it..."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled. She was immensely excited, anticipating something.
Then she heard Xiao Yexuan say:
"I really like your catgirl appearance during Martial Soul Possession. Could you fulfill that wish of mine?"
"Y-yes!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and activated Martial Soul Possession.
A black tail appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing.
Playing with her tail while enjoying Zhu Zhuqing's little cake truly was a wonderful thing~~
What Xiao Yexuan had said before was indeed true. This apartment's soundproofing really was the best!
