Before Su Xin could speak, Zhu Zhuyun stood up first to object with a cold face.
Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and resistance.
Although she had resigned herself to her fate and decided to follow this demon king, it didn't mean she was willing to live so close to him!
What is the difference between this and a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Zhu Zhuqing tugged at Su Xin's sleeve somewhat uneasily and whispered:
"Brother Su...isn't this...not right?"
Although she admired Su Xin greatly, she was, after all, a virgin.
She felt uneasy and shy about living in the same courtyard as a man.
Su Xin completely ignored their reactions. He simply turned his head and looked at Flander with a calm gaze.
"One courtyard, different rooms."
He asked casually, "Is there a problem?"
That gaze, though calm, carried an invisible pressure that made Flander feel his heart skip a beat.
The problem is big!
But... would he dare to say it?
Looking at Su Xin's handsome yet cold face, Flander recalled Tang San's miserable end earlier and couldn't help but shiver.
He had no doubt that if he dared to say "yes," he, the dean, would be the next one dragged to the playground for "instruction."
Just as Flanders was caught in a dilemma, sweating profusely.
Something heavy was suddenly thrown into his arms.
Flander caught it instinctively, and it felt heavy in his hand, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant metallic clanging sound.
He looked down and saw a bulging money bag.
He subconsciously squeezed it, feeling the familiar round texture and weight inside, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"Here are ten gold soul coins."
Su Xin's heavenly voice rang in his ears.
"Renovate this yard for me."
"Reinforce the walls, replace the furniture, and get a decent front door. I want to see it all brand new before dark."
"If you don't have enough money, come back to me."
Ten...ten gold soul coins?!
Flander felt as if he had been struck by a golden lightning bolt!
Ten gold soul coins!
This is almost equivalent to their college's expenses for an entire year!
Just for... to build a courtyard?
What an incredible tycoon!
In an instant, Flander threw all rules and reputation to the winds.
What are the rules? Can I eat it? Can I exchange it for Gold Soul Coins?
In the face of the glittering gold soul coins, all rules are utter bullshit!
"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"
A radiant smile, like a chrysanthemum, instantly bloomed on Flander's face; the speed of his change of expression was even faster than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.
He tucked the money pouch tightly into his coat pocket and patted his chest, assuring them:
"Just you wait and see, Teacher Su!"
"Don't even mention building a courtyard, if you wanted to turn it into a palace, I, Flander, would make it happen for you!"
"I'll go to the village right away and find the best craftsmen and the best materials!"
"We guarantee that before dark, you and your two classmates will be staying in the most comfortable and luxurious courtyard on the entire continent!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Su Xin.
Then, like a gust of wind, she grabbed the money bag and ran away, as if afraid that Su Xin would change his mind.
His greedy and greedy appearance left the Zhu sisters standing nearby speechless.
In the blink of an eye, only Su Xin and the Zhu sisters remained on the field.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward and delicate.
Zhu Zhuyun remained cold and stubbornly stood in place, with an expression that said, "I would rather die than agree."
Zhu Zhuqing nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, looking at Su Xin and then at her sister, unsure of what to do.
Su Xin looked at them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"What? Aren't you going in?"
He slowly walked towards the two sisters, and his oppressive aura made them unconsciously take a step back.
"Or……"
Su Xin's gaze swept unabashedly over the two women's exquisite and shapely bodies, and the smile on his face became somewhat sinister.
"You two actually want to share a room with me?"
"You...you are shameless!"
Zhu Zhuyun was so angry by his blatant gaze and words that her pretty face turned red and her whole body trembled.
"I don't want to!" Zhu Zhuqing blushed deeply and shook her head hurriedly.
"Oh? That's such a pity." Su Xin shook his head with a look of "regret".
He walked to the courtyard gate, pushed open the creaking, broken wooden door, and glanced back at them.
"You have three seconds to decide. Do you want to choose a room yourselves, or... should I help you choose?"
This threat was simple and brutal, yet extremely effective.
The Zhu sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and humiliation in each other's eyes.
Finally, Zhu Zhuyun gritted her teeth, as if she had made a major decision, and took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, leading the way into the courtyard.
She chose the wooden house furthest from Su Xin.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then chose the middle room.
Seeing the two unruly little wildcats, they finally obediently walked into the "cage" they had prepared.
Su Xin smiled with satisfaction.
He didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Before long, a series of clanging and banging noises broke the tranquility of the grove.
Flander's efficiency, driven by the Gold Soul Coins, is astonishingly high.
He brought over almost every craftsman he could find in Soto.
A vigorous renovation project was launched for this small courtyard.
Driven by the powerful magic of the Gold Soul Coins, the artisans' efficiency was outrageously high.
In just one afternoon, the once dilapidated courtyard underwent a dramatic transformation.
The collapsed wall was rebuilt and replaced with sturdy bluestone.
The three dilapidated wooden houses were reinforced inside and out, and all the broken doors and windows were replaced with brand new ones.
The weeds in the yard were cleared away, and a layer of smooth bluestone slabs was laid on top.
Flanders even took it upon himself to have a small pavilion built in the center of the courtyard.
A small pond was dug next to it, although it hasn't been filled with water and fish yet.
By nightfall, the entire renovation project was basically completed.
Although it still appears simple compared to a real mansion, it is still better than the dilapidated wooden houses around it.
Su Xin's courtyard is practically a palace.
Su Xin was very satisfied with Flander's efficiency and casually tossed him a few gold soul coins as a reward.
This moved the money-loving dean so much that he almost knelt down on the spot.
After seeing off the obsequious Flander and the satisfied craftsmen, the entire courtyard finally fell completely quiet.
The night is as dark as ink and dotted with stars.
Standing in the newly renovated courtyard, Su Xin felt the evening breeze and felt completely relaxed.
He could clearly sense two soul power fluctuations and breathing sounds coming from the rooms on either side, though they were trying their best to conceal them.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were clearly still awake.
Their feelings at this moment must be very complicated.
A playful smile appeared on Su Xin's lips.
However, he wasn't in the mood to tease the two stray cats that were already in their cages today.
The future is long, don’t rush for the moment.
He has more important things to do.
Su Xin turned around and walked into his room, which was also the largest room in the courtyard.
He closed the doors and windows, and even used his soul power to set up a simple warning barrier around the room.
He made sure that no person or spirit beast could get close to him without his knowledge.
After doing all this, he walked to the bedside and sat down cross-legged.
The playfulness and laziness on his face vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and anticipation.
