Chapter 214 The Issue of Room Ownership
Chapter 214 The Issue of Room Ownership
Led by the old man, Whitewood and the Great Tree King arrived at a house on the main street of Mondstadt.
"Gentlemen, this is the house you just chose."
"If you two are satisfied, we can process the land title now."
"Okay, that's fine."
Bai Mu did not speak, because the Great Tree King had already made the decision for him.
"Sir, look..."
The old man rubbed his hands together as he looked at Bai Mu. Since he had just said that Bai Mu was the one with money, he wanted to confirm with Bai Mu again.
"Okay, this one will do."
Shiraki nodded, appearing somewhat absent-minded.
At that moment, his gaze was drawn to a house next door.
Because there was a water elemental array on the door of that house.
[It can't be such a coincidence, can it?]
"Sir, would you like to pay Mora directly, or use a receipt?"
The old man's voice interrupted Bai Mu's thoughts.
Shiraki turned his gaze away from his future neighbor's door.
"The receipts, please."
......
As he left the place where he had purchased the property, Bai Mu's expression became somewhat somber.
Shiraki strongly suspects he's been scammed.
Mondstadt lacks the bustling prosperity of Liyue, the beautiful legs of Inazuma, and the pristine environment of Sumeru.
This tiny house costs over 20 million Mora.
Even though Bai Mu is very wealthy now, he still felt a little pain when he heard the price.
"Do you think we were ripped off for buying this house for 20 million?"
Bai Mu raised his head, looked at the Great Tree King with its light steps in front of him, and suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, I already checked it using the World Tree."
"This house is fully furnished, and you can move in immediately after buying it."
"Have you calculated the total value of the furniture and the house?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Compassion Tree King immediately used the World Tree to investigate.
"Uh...this..."
Seeing the Great Tree King's hesitant manner, Shiraki already knew the outcome.
He was indeed scammed, and quite badly at that.
"Sigh, so all you care about is whether you can check in quickly, right?"
Bai Mu shook his head. In this situation where it was consensual and there was even a land deed as proof, he could only accept his bad luck.
but...
"In the name of the wind god, I curse you that when you hang your clothes out to dry, they will surely be blown onto dog poop."
Shiraki stared at the place where he had just purchased the property, and in his hand, Wendy's Heart of God flickered slightly.
"Sigh~"
"You're... that's really vicious."
Hearing Bai Mu curse a few ordinary people like that, the Great Tree King gasped and felt sympathy for them.
"vicious?"
"This money was swindled because of you, so it will be deducted from your living expenses."
Upon hearing this, the Great Tree King's sympathetic expression suddenly changed.
Give me all your divine hearts!
......
"This is my room, the one over there is for you."
"No! I want this one, you can have the other one."
Upon arriving at the new house, the two, who had been getting along very well just moments before, suddenly found themselves arguing fiercely over the allocation of rooms.
“I bought this house, I am the owner, and the master bedroom should belong to me.”
Bai Mu shoved the homeowner's section of the land deed right into the face of the Great Tree King.
This bedroom is the largest in the house, and Shiraki felt that as the homeowner, it was definitely appropriate for her to live here.
"No, I don't agree."
"Although you are the homeowner, I am the one who chose this house, so I should be the one to choose the room first."
The Great Tree King was adamant about the room allocation, as she also desperately wanted the largest room.
To this end, she even came up with her own set of fallacies.
"You don't agree?"
"I'm putting it this way today: this house is mine, this bedroom is mine, and I'm not giving it to you!"
"you***!"
"***"
The two, who were originally on good terms, started arguing loudly over the allocation of a master bedroom, and even seemed ready to come to blows.
"Dong dong."
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted their argument.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shiraki kicked the Great Tree King in the butt, sending her flying towards the door.
"you!"
The Great Tree King glared at Bai Mu, but still obediently opened the door.
The newcomer was a young girl dressed in purple, and she looked somewhat irritable.
Seeing that the Great Tree King had opened the door, Mona stood in the doorway, grabbing her hair in both hands, and shouted loudly to the two people inside:
"Hello, I'm your neighbor."
"Could you please keep your voices down? I'm an astrologer and I need a quiet environment."
"I'm sorry, we'll be more careful next time."
The Great Tree King, standing beside the door, displayed a completely different attitude from when he confronted Shiroki, and gently apologized to Mona.
Seeing the Great Tree King's good attitude, Mona's somewhat irritated expression eased considerably.
"Do you have any family conflicts?"
"As an astrologer, I can help you calculate the best solution."
Seeing that a third party had intervened, the Great Tree King did not hesitate and told Mona everything about the conflict that had just occurred.
Finally, she added:
Do you think what I said is right?
"I chose this house, can I choose a room first?"
After listening to what the Great Tree King had to say, Mona suddenly felt a headache coming on.
She suddenly regretted getting involved in this matter.
This is clearly a private matter between the young couple. It's a problem that can be solved simply by the two of them sleeping together. Why is she, an outsider, meddling in it?
However, since she had offered to help others with astrological calculations, Mona naturally wouldn't go back on her word.
"Please wait a moment, I'll calculate for you which room would be more suitable for you."
After saying that, Mona closed her eyes and stood quietly at the entrance of the Shiraki family's house.
One second...
Two seconds...
One minute...
five minutes...
Five full minutes passed, and Mona stood there, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
After five minutes of calculations, Mona was unable to glean any information from the two individuals.
She couldn't even tell whether these two people were human or not.
In her deduction, the two people were as if they didn't exist at all.
"You two, instead of fighting, why don't you just sleep together?"
In the end, after leaving those words, Mona covered her face and ran back home.
Having stood in front of someone else's house for ages without figuring out anything, Mona was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
......
night.
Mona tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
"No, I have to get to the bottom of this!"
She got out of bed and set up a strange magic circle in the middle of the room.
Sitting in the center of the magic circle, Mona began to recall Bai Mu's appearance.
