As Xu Liao browsed through the information, Xu Manor's ruler smiled without saying a word. After he finished reading the information, he said, "This entrance is on Monster Locust Tree Street. Monster Locust Tree Street is where we demons live, and no humans can enter. You just have to go to this old manor from time to time and stay there for a period of time. You don't have to worry about it normally. Are you satisfied with this job? "
Xu Liao nodded. Just as he was about to say that he was satisfied, Zhao Yanqin pulled him over and grabbed the bronze key for him. She said carefully, "Don't worry, Sir Ruler. I live on Monster Locust Tree Street and will supervise his work for you."
Before Xu Liao could say anything, Zhao Yanqin pushed him out of the office and out of Yunxi Palace.
Xu Manor's ruler watched the two of them leave and couldn't help but smile. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect someone to awaken the bloodline of the Tree of Immortality. Looks like we can open up another residence in Bei Du City. Now that there are too many demons, there aren't enough houses to go around! It's a pity that he didn't understand the bloodline inheritance. He still has to be nurtured for a few more decades. "
Xu Manor leisurely returned to his office. After a while, the few demons in charge of the Capital's Demon Affairs Department finally dared to move. However, every one of them was very careful, as if they were walking on thin ice …
Zhao Yanqin pulled Xu Liao out of Yunxi Palace. She patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "You're really bold. You actually dared to speak to Xu Manor's ruler like that?" Xu Liao was confused and asked, "Did I say something I shouldn't have? I think Xu Manor's ruler is quite a good person. He's a typical warm male supporting character in a romance novel. "
Xu Liao felt that he had said a bad joke and couldn't help but laugh. However, when he turned his head, he saw that Zhao Yanqin's pretty face had turned pale. This monster girl fiercely held his face with both of her hands and used brute force to 'wall slam' him against the red wall of the Forbidden City. She said coldly, "If you want to die, then go ahead and die by yourself. Don't drag me into this. Do you know who the Xu family is? How dare you joke around? "
Xu Liao also sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Who the Xu family is?"
Zhao Yanqin said word by word. "No one knows what kind of demon Xu Manor's ruler is, nor does anyone know his background. But you only need to know that ten years ago, he battled the Sea God, the most famous demon in Western Europe, in the Indian Ocean. He caused a tsunami and killed more than 200,000 people."
Xu Liao was shocked as cold sweat broke out all over his body. A great demon that could easily stir up a tsunami was just too terrifying.
Zhao Yanqin stared into his eyes for a long while before releasing his face. She coldly said, "Do you now know how terrifying the ruler of the Xu Household is? Try not to make jokes about these big monsters, and try to stay away from those guys. When they go crazy, no one can guarantee that they won't be affected like a small bug. Dead people are as worthless as wormwood. "
Xu Liao nodded, but his mind was filled with the lingering feeling of Zhao Yanqin's hands pressing against his face and pushing him against the wall. The girl's fragrance seemed to linger around him, and that feeling made him feel very fresh, and his cheeks were slightly red.
Under Zhao Yanqin's lead, the two of them took the subway again and got off at Monster Locust Street. After exiting the subway station, they were in Monster Locust Street, and it was only one or two hundred meters away from Zhao Yanqin's house. Zhao Yanqin's house was an antique two-story building. There was a sign in front of the door with a big steamed bun drawn on it. There was also a steamer at the door. There were many people coming and going to buy steamed buns. Business was very good.
Zhao Yanqin greeted her parents and put down her bag. She even took out two steamed buns and handed them to Xu Liao with a smile. Her parents were also very kind. One could not tell that they were a bunch of monsters at all. This made Xu Liao feel that the parents of his female classmate were all very nice when he went to her home.
Xu Liao nibbled on the steamed bun as he followed Zhao Yanqin to check out the entrance to the Abandoned Mirage. He had to admit that the steamed buns at Zhao Yanqin's house were very delicious. They had a strong smell of meat soup, but they weren't greasy. He ate two, but he still wasn't satisfied.
The entrance to the Abandoned Mirage was at the end of Monster Locust Street. It was rather desolate, and there was only one house.
This residence was different from Zhao Yanqin's. There were rows of bamboos at the entrance, and through the gaps between the bamboos, one could see a very spacious courtyard. The environment was very elegant, and one could faintly see a small river flowing around the courtyard, giving the small courtyard a sense of elegance.
At first glance, Xu Liao liked it very much. He walked over and shook the bronze key. The rows of bamboo parted, revealing a bamboo door wide enough for a person to walk through.
Xu Liao had just poked his head in to take a look when Zhao Yanqin pushed him in from behind.
Zhao Yanqin didn't stand on ceremony. After pushing Xu Liao in, she walked in as well.
When the two of them walked into the courtyard, the bamboo behind them automatically closed up, turning into an elegant and quiet courtyard wall. There were no doors or windows. The bamboo door from before was also gone.
After Xu Liao walked in, he realized that the courtyard was quite big. It was about two or three acres of land. Not only did it have a rock garden, but it also had a foot-wide river that surrounded the courtyard. There was also a three-story bamboo building. The scenery he saw from the outside through the bamboo wall was completely different from the real scenery inside. Xu Liao immediately understood that there was some kind of illusory barrier outside the courtyard to protect the owner's privacy and prevent others from seeing it from the outside.
Xu Liao couldn't help thinking to himself, 'Demons really know how to enjoy life. If this courtyard could be sold, it could be exchanged for at least ten houses of the same size within the Third Ring Road of Bei Du City. It's a pity that this house isn't mine. I'm just a watchman. I don't even have the right to use it.'
Zhao Yanqin let out a soft cry of joy and ran around the courtyard. Then she said with a grin, "When I was young, I really wanted to come in and take a look, but I didn't have the key. With my demon power, I couldn't open this detention center. I didn't expect to finally get my wish today."
Xu Liao couldn't help smiling as well. He thought to himself, 'If only I could get Qu Lei to come over and study here every day. How great would that be?' At the thought of Qu Lei, he couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Yanqin didn't know that he was thinking of Qu Lei. She thought that he liked this place very much. She giggled and said, "Now that you've obtained the Demon Registry Card, you can apply for a welfare house. Do you want to move to Demonic Tree Street?"
Xu Liao was slightly surprised. He asked, "Any demon can apply for it for free?"
Zhao Yanqin nodded and said, "Any demon can apply for it. We, the Thousand Demon Council, get houses for free, but everyone only has the right to stay. If they move away or die, they have to hand it over. They can't even appoint a successor, nor are they allowed to buy or sell. The eighteen residences in Bei Du City are overcrowded. There are too few welfare houses. Only when someone dies or moves away will there be an empty house. Even if you apply now, you'll have to wait a long time before you have a chance. "
Xu Liao couldn't help but be greatly disappointed!
