Chapter 1192: Chapter 355: Furnace?
Chapter 355 [Furnace?]
The little girl eventually moved into the magical residence.
After Chen Yan brought her into the Chen residence beneath the lake, the moment she stepped inside, she couldn’t help but sigh.
After that, she touched here and there, and looked at Chen Yan with a furrowed brow, asking, "The materials of this residence are all extraordinary, not ordinary at all. Where did you get such a big house?"
Chen Yan smiled: "A gift from a predecessor."
The little girl then pulled over a paperman puppet that was sweeping the floor with a broom beside her, pinched it, and looked at Chen Yan: "The craftsmanship of this puppet is very advanced. It’s definitely not something a rookie in artifact refining like you could make."
Chen Yan didn’t even blink: "It came bundled with the residence."
After walking to the backyard, she saw the Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Beast trembling in the lotus pond, and Big White dozing in a pavilion by the pond...
The little girl’s eyelid couldn’t help but twitch, pointing a finger: "What about these two? Are these freebies too?!
Chen Yan, don’t pull my leg!
This is a Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Beast! It’s an upper-grade exotic beast!
And that one, such a strong divine beast aura, and a pure lineage to boot! Definitely not a mixed-blood offspring!
Where did you get these two?!"
Chen Yan glared: "Are you investigating my background? Just say a word, are you going to stay or not!"
"Stay!"
The little girl answered decisively, took a deep breath, sensing the rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here, and slowly exhaled: "I’ve been wandering outside for half a year, replenishing my Primordial Qi daily, only then finally making up for the long deficit.
If I’d had a place like this earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to spend so long recovering my Primordial Qi."
Chen Yan frowned: "You’re an expert in artifact refining yourself. You mean you can’t make a simple Spirit Gathering Array? Half a year, making a simple version isn’t hard."
"I’m lazy."
The little girl replied confidently.
·
Chen Yan spent some time with the little girl, then let her pick a random room to settle in.
But once she entered the room, the little girl wasn’t happy.
"Didn’t you say the furniture and appliances were complete?! What, you want me to live in an empty room?!"
"Consider it lucky, it’s not a bare shell," Chen Yan laughed, then said: "Not kidding, the complete set of furniture will take a few days to arrive. You’ll have to make do for now. After all, you can handle roughing it in the wild, staying a few days in an empty room shouldn’t be a problem."
He said this, then asked: "Didn’t you have two dogs? Do you want to bring them in as well?"
The little girl looked at Big White dozing in the pavilion, sighed, and pointed at Big White: "That guy’s bloodline aura is so strong, even I feel pressure from it. No idea where you found such an ancestor.
Mortal beasts can’t go near it; if I brought those two dogs here, they’d be scared crazy by its aura. I’ll keep them outside; they’re stray dogs with survival skills. I’ll set up a shelter by the lakeside forest, and feed them regularly."
Chen Yan immediately nodded, offering to cover all dog food costs.
The little girl wouldn’t accept such a cheap favor: "I can enter the Mirror World too! I don’t need you to provide dog food or anything. Whatever I need, I can just dive into the Mirror World, find a large warehouse in a supermarket, and take whatever I want."
Chen Yan sighed: "Where do you usually go to get stuff?"
"There’s a place called Sam’s, and another something Dragon, their warehouses are quite large."
"Fine, if you want to take from those two in the future, go ahead, but avoid small private supermarkets; small business owners have a hard time. As for capitalists, especially foreign ones, feel free to cause havoc."
Saying this, Chen Yan took out a camping bed from his Storage Jade Pendant, placing it in the room: "Sleep on this for a few days, the full furniture set will definitely arrive soon!"
After settling the little girl, Chen Yan left the magical residence outside.
With a guardian deity to watch over the home,
the promised furniture must be arranged swiftly.
Hmm, I should also go check on Hu Shangke. His strange Calamity Qi, where did it come from?
He’s my classmate, a handyman working for me, if he has trouble I should definitely help him out.
As he walked to the lake shore, heading out of the forest, Chen Yan took out his phone to call Hu Shangke.
After the ringtone looped seven or eight times, it was finally answered.
"Hello? Chen Yan..."
Hu Shangke barely said a few words before Chen Yan’s brow twitched!
He noticed Hu Shangke’s voice was off, lacking energy, sounding very weak.
"Lao Hu, your voice sounds wrong, what’s up?"
On the other end, Hu Shangke spoke in a pitiful tone: "I’m, I’m in the hospital."
·
Chen Yan was familiar with the hospital where Hu Shangke was.
After all, it’s near University City, where Chen Yan studied for four years. University City hosts tens of thousands of students year-round, so the nearby district established a hospital—which is a branch of Jinling Prefecture’s renowned tertiary hospital—equipped with excellent facilities and strong medical capabilities.
Additionally, paired with some community hospitals in nearby districts, it’s enough to meet University City’s routine medical needs.
Chen Yan had been to this hospital a few times before, so upon arriving, he headed straight to the infusion room, and found Hu Shangke who was receiving an IV.
