Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Renting a HouseThe young girl had an oval-shaped face, sparkling eyes, white teeth, a straight nose with rosy lips, and extremely beautiful features. Her eyes were lightly accented with smoky makeup, and her cheeks had a touch of blush, exuding innocence and cuteness with a hint of charming sensuality. She was wearing a summer school uniform for female middle school students, a white short-sleeve shirt paired with a black and red checkered knee-length skirt. Her straight and slender calves were exposed, dazzlingly white, and she wore a pair of black sandals on her feet, with a backpack slung on her back. It was now the beginning of July, and schools across Huaxia had already begun their summer vacations. Judging by the appearance of the girl, she was likely on her way to a supplementary class. If she was heading to school, the school would not permit students to wear makeup. The corners of the girl’s eyes and lips were slightly upturned, suggesting she was likely someone who was independent and had a rebellious streak. "Hmm, I’m looking to rent a place." Fang Bai looked at the girl before him and said with a smile, "Are you offering to introduce me to a house?" "We have several vacant rooms at home. They’re a bit pricey, but we keep everything inside and outside the house clean and tidy, unlike others’ disorganized mess, guaranteeing your satisfaction. So what do you say, handsome, want to come and take a look?" The girl crossed her arms over her chest and sized Fang Bai up and down with a seemingly wise and weathered air. "Alright. Lead the way, please." Fang Bai nodded with a smile and followed the girl to a courtyard residence located at the northwest corner of the village. The girl walked briskly and urgently, with an energetic stride unlike that of a girl, in stark contrast to her delicate and beautiful appearance. With a graceful figure and light steps, the girl’s movement exuded beauty whether she moved quickly or slowly, providing a pleasurable sight. From behind, Fang Bai admired the girl’s agile and elegant figure, and for a moment, felt as if both the village and the girl were scenes from a painting. After a four to five-minute walk, they pushed open a large red lacquered gate and entered the girl’s home. Her family’s residence was also a courtyard residence, larger than the few others Fang Bai had previously seen. Two robust willow trees grew in the center of the courtyard, with grape trellises built against the walls on both the east and west sides, already laden with grapes. Beneath the trellises, there were stone stools and a stone table. In the scorching summer days, resting under the dappled light of the grape trellises was indeed an appealing choice. To the north side of the courtyard were three tiled houses, where the landlord obviously resided. Although the houses were old, they were well-kept and appeared regularly maintained. To the east of these tiled houses lay the kitchen and storeroom, while to the west, there were three connected bungalows, which were likely the ones available for rent. At the two ends near the entrance to the southern side of the courtyard, there were two small vegetable patches growing seasonal greens. The layout of the girl’s home reminded Fang Bai of his own in Zhongzhou, and upon entering the courtyard, he immediately decided to live there, even without seeing the rooms. "Handsome, wait here for a moment. I’ll go get the keys. You can check if the room is to your liking in the meantime." Speaking thus, the girl dashed into the room at the eastern end of the tiled houses and returned holding a set of keys. "All three of these rooms are available. Have a look and see which one you prefer. If you’re satisfied, then we can discuss the rent." "No need to look. I’ll take all three rooms. I’ll rent them for a year first. Tell me how much it is," Fang Bai said with a smile. "Renting all three?" The girl paused, then asked, "You’re not alone?" "No, just me alone." "You’re renting three rooms just for yourself? Can you really use them all?" "I like the quiet. If I rent all three rooms, you won’t need to rent to anyone else. Is that not okay?" "That’s fine. But... as I said earlier, our rooms are a bit more expensive than others’." "There has to be a price, no matter how expensive, right?" "Oh, each room’s rent for one year is five thousand, so renting three rooms would be fifteen thousand. Plus, utility bills and the like are on you..." "Deal!" Fang Bai had thought that the three rooms would be very expensive. Fifteen thousand a year was indeed much higher than the rent at other places, but to live in such a beautiful environment by the mountains and water, Fang Bai felt like he had stumbled upon a great bargain. On his way to Yanjing, to make spending more convenient, Fang Bai always carried around several hundred thousand in cash. After reaching an agreement with the young girl, Fang Bai immediately took out fifteen thousand from his backpack, handed it to her, and signed his name on the rental contract that had been prepared earlier. And so, Fang Bai officially became the tenant of this courtyard house, and what’s more, the only tenant. The girl carefully counted the money to make sure it was correct, and then handed over the keys to the three rooms to Fang Bai before happily entering the tile-roofed room on the east side. Fang Bai, blessed with excellent hearing, heard the girl seemingly talking to a woman in the room. The woman seemed to be in her forties, with a weak voice as though she was burdened by illness. Fang Bai had no interest in eavesdropping on others’ privacy, so he took the three keys and opened the doors to the three rooms on the west side. Looking inside, he saw that each room was very clean. The windows shone, and there wasn’t a speck of dust; Fang Bai was very satisfied. The rooms were well-equipped and had some simple furniture. Fang Bai only needed to buy some basic necessities to live there comfortably. As for meals, Fang Bai intended to eat all three meals outside to avoid the hassle of washing and cleaning and to change flavors often, thereby trying out all the different cuisines of Yanjing City. After sitting in the room for a while, the sun began to set, and it was nearing dusk. Fang Bai prepared to go out for dinner and buy some things on the way back, and then take a hot bath before sitting on the bed to perform his exercises and relieve the exhaustion from traveling these past few days. Just as he was about to lock the door to leave, he saw the red lacquered gate of the courtyard being pushed open, and a man with long hair and a full beard walked in. The bearded man was in his early forties, around one meter seventy-five tall, slightly stocky, with bushy eyebrows and large eyes, a straight nose, and wearing a set of somewhat worn gray linen clothes.

If the bearded man’s skin weren’t so dark, if there wasn’t a scar an inch long on his left cheek, if his long hair were cut shorter, if he could shave off his full beard, he would undoubtedly be a very handsome man. The bearded man entered the courtyard and, seeing Fang Bai, paused for a moment, then his eyes narrowed as he closely sized up Fang Bai. With just one glance at the bearded man, Fang Bai sensed a dangerous aura. This was a martial artist even stronger than himself! From the moment Fang Bai saw the bearded man, he made this judgment. Based on the realms of martial artists in this world, if Fang Bai was a mid-rank Profound Level martial artist, then this bearded man could very well be a high-rank Profound Level martial artist. This was the first time Fang Bai had encountered someone with greater strength than himself since his rebirth in this world.
