READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 4: Residence?
"Xiao Jun!! I know you are hiding inside you rat!! Who the hell will pay the rent! It's already the 5th date of the month! Where the hell have you been hiding for the last few days? You dare not pick up my calls?! That's it! Take your garbage and leave my apartment! Hey! Open up, you little rat!"
A woman's screeching voice was heard coming loudly from the other side of the door, as she seemed to be continuously banging that door as if she was ready to break it with just her fists if Xiao Jun didn't open it fast.
"She is a landlord, haha..." Xiao Jun awkwardly explained, and took a deep breath, before opening his apartment doors, and the moment he did so, a fist of that fat-skinned woman struck directly at Xiao Jun's face.
"ACK?!"
But to Xiao Jun's own surprise, it was the woman's fist that got hurt instead of his nose.
"What are you doing?!" She screamed while stepping back in pain; she seemed to be quite young by her age, yet her appearance seemed nothing less than some old witch.
Her wrist had more fat than Xiao Jun's entire body; wearing curtain-like clothes, she was standing there with a red face full of anger.
"I warned you so many damn times. Why can't you pay the damn rent on time! Fuck it! I'm increasing your damn rent by 10%. Pay me rent for this month and the next one in advance right now; otherwise, leave!" She shouted right over Xiao Jun's face while spitting her saliva over the young man's face.
Xiao Jun said nothing, and while quietly wiping the saliva over his face, he turned towards that lady, "This is unreasonable, Mrs. Landlord; it's literally my first time missing rent, and that's because I was kidnapped by those fuckers. I just returned—"
"Kidnap? You? Hahahahahahahaha?" Cutting Xiao Jun's sentence midway, she suddenly burst out laughing, "Why would anyone kidnap you? Are you the son of some rich man? Or do you have some ancient inheritance in your name?"
"The Ancient Inheritance one sounds kind of true..." Xiao Jun muttered under his breath, but the lady didn't even let him talk back. "That's it! I'm done with your excuses; the world is getting more and more expensive a place to live in. From today, either you pay my damn rent or leave. I have many others dying to live here for my demanded price!"
"Miss, how can you act like this when you know how hard it has been for me these last few months? I have been living here for the last 3 years. You know I'm an honest man, and—"
"Fuck!" she cursed straight over Xiao Jun's face. "As if I care what kind of man you are?! Is this marriage interview going on here?! Huh?! If you are broke, then leave! What the fuck is an honest man? Does it save you from starvation or what?"
Xiao Jun frowned while trying to negotiate in a calm tone, but each time that pig-skinned landlord argued back like a humping whale,
Ao Shen, who had been watching it all from the dark corner of the room, couldn't help but furrow his brows. '... What the hell is that thing?' he remarked. 'She has a punchable face; I'm starting to have an urge.'
Ao Shen giggled and finally stepped in, pulling Xiao Jun's shoulders back inside. He stepped out with his glowing pupils locked in over that woman.
"Very well..." Ao Shen commented, "We will move out right this instant, stuff this apartment up your ass; I think you have potential."
Ao Shen coldly scoffed, but his remark turned that woman's face brimming red in anger, "Y-you! Who are you?! How dare you speak such words in front of my face!!? Do you know who I am?!"
"A pig with human skin, rare indeed, but nothing to flaunt about." Ao Shen sarcastically remarked again and, turning back, commanded Xiao Jun, "Pack up your things, quick."
Xiao Jun was a bit taken aback by this, but stepping back, he started to pack his things up, but it seems the woman wasn't ready for such a quick resolution.
"Hey, wait?! What's this attitude?? Did your parents not teach you how to speak with your elders?!" She screamed, and her arms suddenly rushed out to reach for Ao Shen's arms, but before she could do anything, the ground beneath her suddenly collapsed.
"Aaahhh?!" She fell straight to the ground floor with a loud thud; Ao Shen even observed ripples forming from the very ground as she fell down.
And with a body like that, she looked like an enormous piece of flesh lying flat on the ground. She placed enormous effort into trying to stand but remained stuck on the ground because of all the fat.
But even as she was down, she had the ability to go even lower; glaring at Ao Shen, who was giggling watching her struggles, she screamed, "What are you looking at?! Help me stand!"
"You wish?" Ao Shen scoffed, and his attention went back over to Xiao Jun, standing behind with a huge bag on his back.
"I finished packing." Xiao Jun reported, but then his gaze fell over the collapsed entrance outside their door.
"... How will we go down now?" Xiao Jun frowned, but before he could comprehend, Ao Shen had already tossed him over that woman. "Why are you worried? There is a trampoline right under us?"
With that said, he released Xiao Jun. Right over that woman, Xiao Jun landed softly over her fat belly, and unexpectedly bouncing from her belly, landed like some acrobat on the ground.
"Tada~" he exclaimed with a grin.
"Aaaackk?!" The woman screamed in pain, but Ao Shen followed right after Xiao Jun, bouncing over her enormous belly; he also landed flat on the ground with a smirk on his face.
"Rest, piggy~ rest~ it will regenerate all fat you lost screaming today." Ao Shen chuckled and, with a grin, walked away with Xiao Jun, leaving that pig-skinned human whale lying unconscious on the ground with a gold tael placed on her forehead as if she were a corpse.
"But where are we going to live now, Ancestor?" Xiao Jun questioned as they both arrived over the streets outside; the neighbourhood seemed to be in the outer region of the city, with small houses and sketchy streets everywhere.
"Residence?" Ao Shen questioned, "Residence, huh... It's important in the current world, huh?"
Ao Shen kept muttering some words by himself until finally a playful grin emerged on his face as he announced, "We will buy one, a residence!"
Ao Shen giggled with something fun in his mind, "Bring me to some place that can afford my spending!"
Hearing Ao Shen's words, Xiao Jun couldn't help but release a lost sigh. "... I'm afraid there is no such place in our Blue Jade City, but I do know the place where we can buy the greatest residences in the city!"
Xiao Jun's face lit up with a sly smirk resembling Ao Shen.
"You truly are my descendant after all." Ao Shen sniggered, sensing the similar thoughts coming out of Xiao Jun; Xiao Jun also sniggered, rubbing his hands, "Hehehe, it's my honour, Ancestor~"
"Then move! Let's move!!!" Ao Shen shouted with a bright grin, and both Ancestor and the descendent sped up, making their way towards the central region of the city.
As they reached closer to the central region of the city, Ao Shen started to see the changes; it wasn't just limited to the infrastructure of the city; the roads were wider, there were a lot of skyscrapers everywhere, and hundreds of vehicles were running all over the road.
Busy streets and loud roads everywhere, but along with all such chaos, Ao Shen also noticed the difference in the people; there were way more cultivators here.
Most of the people here have cultivated to some level, though the majority was barely around the Qi Condensation Realm and barely a few in the Foundation Establishment Realm, in that crowd of hundreds of people.
"It's way worse than I expected..." Ao Shen muttered while observing the people; his gaze could see through the traces of Qi in the surroundings; the density was indeed way thinner than what he remembered before waking up here.
But at the same time, he could also see the laws of nature slowly but surely binding closer and closer, 'By this pace, it will take about 100 more years to recover the Qi in its previous state...'
Ao Shen sighed, but as he was lost in those thoughts, suddenly Xiao Jun paused, "We are here!" he announced with his gaze over the grand title on an enormous building.
"Jade Dragon Heights, they are the biggest luxury estate sellers in the city. What do you think, Ancestor?" Xiao Jun excitedly turned towards Ao Shen, but Ao Shen on the other hand didn't seem surprised.
"Just don't embarrass this ancestor." Ao Shen muttered and with a playful nod he chuckled, "Let's see what fun is hiding here?"
