Chapter 117: I Didn’t Expect It Was You Who Bought It
Zelda saw her in such a good mood and figured she was just like his cousins—as long as she was buying things, she was happy.
Besides, Hu Yan had probably given Bai Zhi a card. Buying a few Mechas was nothing to Hu Yan, a mere drop in the bucket, so of course Bai Zhi was happy to spend his money.
Bai Zhi glanced at the location of the mansion the system had rewarded her with and, seeing it wasn’t far from Hu Yan’s private residence, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The area was in a prime location, and from what she could tell, the surrounding houses all looked quite large and beautiful.
’I can swing by and check out my new house on the way back!’
Once she’d decided, Bai Zhi looked up to meet Kate’s curious gaze and Zelda’s calm, knowing one. Confused, Bai Zhi glanced down at herself. ’There’s nothing wrong with me, is there?’
’Why are they all looking at me like that?’
But when she turned to look at Yue Junxiao and the others, she saw that Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen were busy "getting intimate" with their Mechas. Lang Qiu was asking a staff member about specific maintenance procedures and other various issues. Sang Mo would occasionally glance her way, but it felt more like he was just checking to see if she was still alive before looking away again.
Bai Zhi asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Kate, realizing it was inappropriate for him to stare at a female that way, said, "Nothing, it’s just... I think you’re really good to your Beast Husbands."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn’t help but think of everything the original owner had done to them. She felt a pang of guilt. ’I’m just paying off the original owner’s debts!’
Zelda had evidently also recalled the suffering Hu Yan had previously endured. Though his expression barely changed, his lips pressed into a thin line.
Bai Zhi laughed awkwardly. "It’s what I should do."
Then, to change the subject, she asked, "So, can we take these Mechas back with us today?"
Kate nodded. "Of course. If you don’t have the space to transport and store these Mechas, we can also provide home delivery."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment. Their personal storage spaces weren’t very large and probably couldn’t hold the Mechas. "Please find a time to deliver them to our home," she said.
At the same time, she decided to get them all larger storage spaces. ’Otherwise, it’ll be inconvenient to store even small things.’
Kate agreed without hesitation. "Certainly. Just set a time, and I’ll have the Mechas delivered to your home."
After leaving the address, Bai Zhi said to Zelda, "I’m probably going to do a little more shopping to upgrade their item storage. If you have other business, feel free to go take care of it."
Zelda replied with a placid expression, "It’s fine. I already delegated everything I needed to this morning. If they can’t even handle that, then it’s time to find new people."
At that, Bai Zhi didn’t say anything more.
After saying goodbye to Kate, they left the Mecha Store.
Meanwhile, the people who had come to Blue Star had turned the planet upside down without finding the S-Class female Purification Master, and they were all beginning to return to the Main Star.
Even Kleiss, after several fruitless days of searching, decided to return to the Main Star.
Although he hadn’t found the S-Class Purification Master, the news about the Blue Soul Stone and the Endless Sea Area was enough to justify his otherwise fruitless trip.
And so, after reporting to the head of his family, Kleiss decided to bring Han Yu with him. After all, this was about the Blue Soul Stone and reopening the Endless Sea Area. If Han Yu was lying, he would soon learn the price of such deception.
In a short span of time, the crowds that had come from the Main Star departed Blue Star and returned home.
Although they failed to find the S-Class female Purification Master, the fact that so many people from the Main Star had all come up empty proved it wasn’t for lack of trying. It simply meant the female had likely already left Blue Star, which was why their search had been futile.
Olay, who had been captured by Zelda, was also taken away.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhi and her group were in a store buying Space Bracelets, upgrading each of their husbands’ to one with a hundred square meters of storage.
A single Space Bracelet cost over a million Star Coins, but because she bought six at once, she received a discount, spending a total of eight million Star Coins.
Touring the Mecha Store had taken a good deal of time, and after buying the Space Bracelets, it was already four or five in the afternoon. Bai Zhi still wanted to see the new house the system had given her, so they headed home.
Following the address Bai Zhi provided, the car stopped in front of a luxurious villa.
Yan Yichen poked his head out to get a look and asked, "Wife, is this a new house you bought?"
Bai Zhi gave a vague "mhm" in response.
No one there, aside from Bai Zhi herself, knew that she owned a house on the Main Star. To be precise, even Bai Zhi had only just found out.
Zelda surveyed the house, then turned to Bai Zhi with unconcealed surprise in his eyes. "This place was sold a long time ago, but it’s always been empty. I always wondered who bought this private residence... I never imagined it was you."
Zelda was genuinely surprised. Buying a property here was no easy feat. While Bai Zhi’s previous residence on Blue Star was considered top-of-the-line, it was still a far cry from the standards of the Main Star.
To Zelda, even owning a Starship and a Flying Sports Car was a drop in the ocean, nothing remarkable.
But he never expected Bai Zhi to own such a mansion on the Main Star. This went beyond being merely rich. Combined with her completely unrestrained spending—she had burned through tens of millions today alone.
This showed that the number of Star Coins at her disposal had to be far greater than her expenditures for her to spend money so freely.
If the money was Hu Yan’s, it would be completely unnecessary. Hu Yan already owned a similar private residence not far from here; there was no reason to buy two properties in the same area.
If it were truly for convenience, knowing Hu Yan’s cautious nature, he wouldn’t have bought this particular house. He would have had Bai Zhi buy the property right next door to his.
Then they could have directly connected the two houses, which would be not only convenient but also highly secure.
One house would be public, the other kept secret.
But Bai Zhi had bought this one instead. Therefore, the only possibility was that Bai Zhi herself had purchased it.
At this thought, something new entered Zelda’s gaze as he looked at Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi had no idea that this single house had set off such a storm of speculation in Zelda’s mind. Unconcerned with his thoughts, she simply smiled without saying a word.
But her silent composure only made Zelda treat her with an even greater degree of gravity.
Bai Zhi smiled and opened the door. "Let’s go have a look inside."
Inside the gate was an enormous garden, considerably larger than the one at their house on Blue Star. Everything from the landscaping to the fine details was impeccable. Even though it was uninhabited, the property was clearly cleaned regularly—there wasn’t a single leaf on the ground, and the garden’s flowers were in vibrant bloom.
Yue Junxiao glanced around and couldn’t help but ask, "Are we going to live here from now on, or at Hu Yan’s place?"
Bai Zhi considered this for a moment before replying, "We don’t need to move. We’ll keep this as a backup location."
’If Hu Yan’s place is ever discovered, we can move here immediately.’
