Ch. 50 - A New Tenant Moves In
-Late night-
Ye Chuan brought Lan XiaoKe home.
"Your house looks dilapidated from the outside, but the interior is so nice?" After Ye Chuan turned on the lights, Lan XiaoKe, floating behind him, asked.
Her face was filled with curiosity. After all, Lan XiaoKe hadn't left the fifth floor of Silver Mountain Academy for a very long time.
She was curious about everything outside, only glimpsing the changes in the world through the school's renovations, the scenery outside the window, and the students' conversations.
And who would renovate the interior beautifully while leaving the exterior dilapidated and crumbling?
A humble abode with a magnificent heart.
"The exterior will be renovated too, just needs some time," Ye Chuan said, grinning, thinking of the over one million yuan he had.
With so much money, renovating the exterior wall was a simple matter.
Earning a million yuan in one go felt like a dream to Ye Chuan.
But he hadn't expected this world to have other beings beyond ordinary people, something called "superpowered warriors"?
It seemed that things weren't as simple as he had thought. In this uncertain situation, he had to quickly increase his strength.
Strength brought peace of mind and more money.
But before that—
"Lan XiaoKe, do you know why I brought you back?" Ye Chuan turned to Lan XiaoKe and asked.
Lan XiaoKe froze, her floating body stopping mid-air.
How could she know why Ye Chuan saved her? The female ghost looked around, then asked, "Because of my big backpack?"
"No."
"Because I'm cute?"
"Not really."
Lan XiaoKe tilted her head, then seemed to give up, drooping her head. "I don't know. My life is in your hands anyway, just kill me. Nothing matters anymore."
"That's such an old meme…"
Ye Chuan took out a rental agreement from a drawer and knocked Lan XiaoKe on the head. "Here, sign a contract with me!"
Lan XiaoKe looked at the contract for a while, her baby face blank.
"I have no money."
"You don't need to pay. You just need to live here, and I'll provide you with food, drinks, and entertainment," Ye Chuan said.
Lan XiaoKe was stunned.
There was such a good deal? Free food, accommodation, and entertainment just for living here?
Or was she the entertainment?
She was a ghost, after all. Did this person have some special fetish?
"Yeah, just live here," Ye Chuan nodded.
Lan XiaoKe looked at Ye Chuan suspiciously. She wasn't particularly smart, but she wasn't stupid either.
Occasionally, she was even quite witty.
After all, she wasn't the worst student in her class.
But the problem was, her life was in his hands. She couldn't resist him at all.
Touching the collar around her neck, Lan XiaoKe silently wrote her name on the contract.
[Lan XiaoKe]
After she signed, Ye Chuan's phone vibrated. He immediately took it out and checked—
[New Tenant Discovered: Lan XiaoKe
