On the first floor of the small building is a spacious circular living room with a radius of six meters.
In the northeast corner of the living room, there is a floor fan that hangs down from the second floor.
Excluding the quiet room for training, this small building has a total of ten rooms. These extra rooms may be prepared for future expansion of the team members.
In the middle of the living room, there is a soft and thick leather sofa.
"Finally, I don't have to sit on the captain's stone stool anymore. The sofa is still more comfortable."
Yue Mingnan said as he lay on the sofa with a comfortable look on his face.
"Okay, stop calling me captain all the time."
Xingyuan shook his head. "When there are no missions at home, you can just call me by my name. After all, you are all older than me..."
"Cough-cough-"
Glancing at Chen Ying'er, who was holding McDull and looking gloating, Xingyuan quickly changed the subject, "Well, let's choose a room first. Don't forget that we still have to go to the Demon Hunter Mission Tower to certify our advancement to the general level..."
"it is good……"
If Xingyuan hadn't spoken quickly just now, Li Xin and the others would have almost forgotten that their leader and master was four or five years younger than them...
"I just checked. The first floor has three rooms and three supporting quiet rooms for retreat and cultivation. The second floor has seven rooms and a quiet room..."
Xingyuan looked at the few people who said yes but were still standing there without moving, and couldn't help but tell them his plan.
"If you have no objection, then Cai'er and I will stay on the first floor, one room each, and you all will stay on the second floor?"
After all, no matter how to say it, it is an extremely embarrassing thing for Xingyuan, a man, to live under the same roof with so many women.
He did this not only to avoid suspicion, but also to make everyone live here as comfortably as possible...
What Xingyuan didn't expect was that the first person in the team to raise objections to his plan would be Cai'er.
He really couldn't pretend not to see Cai'er's raised white and tender arm, so Xingyuan could only nod and say, "Cai'er, you go."
Then Cai Er said directly: "Xingyuan, I don't want to sleep in a separate room from you. I don't want a room."
Xingyuan: “…”
"..."
Well, this answer is very cool.
Both Xingyuan and other members of the No. 1 Soldier Team have begun to get used to Cai'er's occasional golden sentences.
"Okay, okay, then you can live in the same room with me."
Xingyuan nodded, "Of course, the room will be reserved for you. After all, two people can't share a quiet room. The quiet room that comes with that room is yours."
"Hehe, and that room can be used when Cai'er and Xingyuan have a quarrel and are in a cold war." Yue Mingnan saw this and added fuel to the fire with ill intentions.
Upon hearing this, Cai'er also shook her head and said, "Xingyuan and I will never quarrel."
"Humph." Xingyuan snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Yue Mingnan.
"Mingnan, stop joking with your master."
Seeing this, Li Xin quickly asked everyone to go upstairs together to choose a room so as not to delay what the team was going to do next.
"Li Xin is right." Xingyuan seconded.
After the joke, Li Xin and the others went upstairs to choose the rooms they liked. As for Xingyuan and Caier, they chose the master bedroom with the largest area and a double bed in the middle of the room.
Are the Demon Hunters so considerate?
Since all their luggage was placed in the storage ring, Xingyuan and Caier walked around the room twice, then closed the door and took the key.
Xingyuan, who was originally wondering where to put her alchemy equipment, put them in the room assigned to her at Cai'er's suggestion.
Cai'er seemed to still care about what Yue Mingnan had just said. She also held Xing Yuan's hand and said, "Anyway, we won't quarrel, and we won't sleep in separate rooms, so I'll leave this place to you as a medicine room."
"You decide."
Xingyuan took the key handed to him by Caier with a smile and put it into his storage ring.
Then the two turned around and saw Chen Ying'er holding McDull Pig in her arms with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Sakura?"
Cai'er blinked and then asked, "Do you want to stay in the same room with us?"
Xingyuan: “???”
"How, how is it possible?"
Chen Ying'er's face instantly turned red after being so bluntly invited by Cai'er. "...I, I was just wondering if I could also live on the first floor. After all, there is an extra room."
But is this really the case?
Xing Yuan looked at Chen Ying'er, who was avoiding his gaze and didn't dare to meet his eyes, and McDull, who was in her arms, looking at her with a look of disappointment, and couldn't help but fall into silence...
"Don't you live on the second floor with Li Xin and the others?"
Xingyuan said tentatively: "After all, you are all girls, and you have topics to talk about besides practicing. It will be much more lively than on the first floor."
"…I don't want to live on the second floor and climb the stairs."
Xingyuan: “…”
Well, this reason is still reasonable...
"Then don't you need to look for Li Xin and the others on a regular basis?" Xingyuan asked again.
"I'll just go up and look for them."
Xingyuan: “…”
Don't you realize that what you said doesn't make sense?
Xingyuan became increasingly silent.
For some reason, even though he had no ability to activate his future vision, he saw a scene in the near future where Chen Ying'er came to attack him in the middle of the night...
"Then I'll live in the remaining empty room."
Chen Ying'er shrank her neck and tried to slip past the two men holding the piglet in her arms.
But before she walked past the two of them, Cai'er asked thoughtfully, "Ying'er, do I need to leave the door open for you tonight?"
Xingyuan: Caier, I'm still here...
Ok.
From now on, Xingyuan will have to take one more step before going to bed, which is to check whether the door is locked and place magical restrictions on it.
When Chen Ying'er heard Cai'er's words, her body paused for a moment, and her ears turned so red that Xingyuan could even feel the heat radiating from them...
Chen Ying'er didn't reply, or perhaps she didn't know how to answer Cai'er. She seemed to be planning to pretend that she didn't hear what Cai'er said, and she ran quickly into the room.
"Cough-cough-"
Xingyuan's two ordinary coughs were like a spell to Chen Ying'er, causing her to stop where she was and not dare to move.
Chen Ying'er's mind was blank at this moment, which could be said to be entirely caused by Cai'er's two sentences.
"Xing, Xingyuan, what can I do for you?"
Chen Ying'er knew that her face was very red, but she still suppressed her embarrassment and turned to look at Xingyuan.
Cai'er was also a little curious.
After all, she had always thought that Xingyuan was unwilling to accept Chen Ying'er, but she didn't expect that he would actually take the initiative to call her back. "That..."
Xingyuan somewhat awkwardly released his hand from Cai'er's waist, and said to Chen Ying'er unnaturally, "Why don't you go to the second floor? After all, Cai'er and I have this kind of relationship. If you live next door, it might be a little inconvenient..."
After saying that, Xingyuan did not forget to cover Caier's mouth, to prevent her from accidentally embarrassing him and making him unable to raise his head in front of his team members in the future.
"it does not matter."
Chen Ying'er's head was shaking so hard that it almost left an afterimage. Her beaded braids were flying everywhere, and McDull, who was held in her arms, felt a little dizzy.
"I'll set up a soundproof barrier, so you don't have to worry about me eavesdropping..."
After saying that, Chen Ying'er also quickly went into the empty room, as if she was afraid that Xingyuan would not let her live on the first floor next.
Xingyuan: “…”
Why does he act like the bad guy?
"Don't you like Chen Ying'er?"
As Xingyuan sighed, he heard Cai'er's voice asking questions to his ears.
"Stop making trouble..."
Xingyuan held his forehead with his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course I know."
Cai'er nodded, "I'm doing something very important."
"Open a harem for your future husband?"
Xingyuan rolled his eyes at Cai'er in annoyance, "Aren't you afraid that my great-grandfather will skin me alive?"
"Dare he?"
Xingyuan: “…”
"Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Xingyuan decided to bring the topic back to the time when he asked Caier if she wanted to open a harem for her future husband, and Caier agreed.
Cai'er didn't want to talk too much about her previous family with Xingyuan, so she quickly got into the mood.
"Xingyuan, you can't be so fickle."
Xingyuan: “???”
Who was it that secretly brought him and Chen Ying'er together?
In order to prevent anyone from hearing what the other person said, Xingyuan pulled Cai'er back to their room, closed the door and set up a soundproof barrier before refutation of what Cai'er had just said.
"If you find too many people..."
Cai'er seemed to have mistakenly thought that it was just her and Chen Ying'er, and that Xingyuan's appetite could not be satisfied. She was a little depressed for a moment, "Doesn't that mean you won't have much time to spend with me?"
Xingyuan: “???”
Did he mean that?
Following Chen Ying'er, it was Cai'er's turn to silence Xingyuan.
He didn't know what Cai'er was thinking all day long. She actually interpreted his words just now as meaning that he was unfaithful and wanted to marry several wives...
But while Xingyuan was silent, thinking about how to explain his intentions to Cai'er, Cai'er was not idle either. She sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the corner of her clothes, as if she was having a psychological struggle with herself.
"Pick……"
"Xingyuan..."
"You go ahead and say it."
Xingyuan still maintained the most basic aristocratic gentleman demeanor at this time, but he did not expect that this time of giving way would bring about earth-shaking changes in his future life.
"Ah."
Cai'er nodded, and then said something that almost made Xingyuan gasp for air, "Besides Ying'er and me, I only agree to let you find four more people, and they have to be..."
I can’t talk today…
Xingyuan didn't believe that Caier could force him on such a matter.
No matter what, he is the greatest genius in the Magic Temple since its founding six thousand years ago. How can he be treated like a little chicken by Cai'er?
...Wait, this is also Cai'er's first time since the founding of the Assassin's Temple 6,000 years ago?
"..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
Xingyuan touched Cai'er's face, and after getting a positive answer from her, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Why did Cai'er have such an idea?
It was simply that she felt that she would not be able to pass the test of the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, and now were the last few years of her life that she could spend with Xingyuan.
Putting herself in her shoes, Cai'er felt that if the person who inherited the Assassin's Temple's reincarnation heritage was Xingyuan, then when Xingyuan's consciousness and five senses were completely deprived by the reincarnation furnace and extracted from her body, she would not be left alone in the world.
Fortunately, Xingyuan was weak in his childhood, and he was only an adopted son of the Holy Family, so he did not need to bear the fate of inheriting the reincarnation heritage.
This is a blessing in disguise for Cai'er.
She was willing to endure all the hardships, in order to allow Xingyuan to continue living without her, she even shared Xingyuan, who should have belonged to her alone, with others...
Looking at Cai'er whose eyes were a little red, Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Be patient for a while longer.
As long as we get the Tower of Eternity, let Cai'er become the successor of that great man from the glorious Vatican era, worship him as her master, and pass all the challenges of the Tower of Eternity, then all the tests of the damn reincarnation furnace will be easily solved.
By then, Cai'er wouldn't have to worry about such things anymore, and she might even thank Xingyuan for only focusing on her during that time...
"Take your time, you have to give me some time, right?"
Xingyuan was talking to Cai'er behind him as he turned the door handle of the room and retracted the soundproofing barrier he had set up in the room.
"Don't waste too much time. We are all waiting to go to the Demon Hunting Group Center to go through the certification procedures for the General-level Demon Hunting Group..."
What Xingyuan didn't expect was that as soon as he opened the door, he saw all the members of Class One gathered in front of the door.
Li Xin is a dutiful servant knight. It is reasonable for her to appear outside the door at this time because she is concerned about her master's safety.
Yue Mingnan is fine, but this guy is a repeat offender...
Wang Yuanyuan considered that it was a first offense, so Xingyuan turned a blind eye and pretended he didn't see anything.
As for Chen Ying'er, who just claimed that she would not eavesdrop on them, why is she here?
"Uh, you guys..."
But before Xingyuan could speak, he saw Yue Mingnan, who was in the lead, giving him an expression that everyone understood.
"Xingyuan, there is no rush for team certification."
Yue Mingnan said to him seriously, "You and the deputy leader's business is more important. It has nothing to do with us."
It would have been better if Yue Mingnan didn't say this. As soon as he said it, everyone else showed an expression of sudden realization on their faces.
You have to know that they had just returned from staying in the military camp at Exorcism Pass for three full months.
Xingyuan and Cai'er, who lived in the same dormitory with them, had basically no private space, even though there was a low wall between them.
As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage... (End of this chapter)
