A mansion stood before Wang Xiaole, with quite an astonishing scale, but upon proportionate analysis, it did not appear grand. The design at the top made the whole building look chic, with a gray front perfectly highlighted by a crow's nest behind, making it stand out. The inhabitants of the nest were making incessant noise nearby, and then it flew over the garden and landed on a large grass field, creating an eerie atmosphere around the house.
This is the house that the staff of the real estate agency provided to the group. Naturally, it is spacious enough and the price is affordable. Among the unsold properties, this mansion undoubtedly has the best value for money. It only has one flaw, just as the staff member mentioned: "According to the feedback from the previous owners, the mansion seems to be somewhat haunted. When the night is quiet and people are sleeping, those living inside always seem to hear weeping and moaning..."
In plain terms, it's haunted! It is because of this flaw that significantly diminishes its value that this mansion, with superior decoration and conditions in every aspect, has not yet found a buyer. Wang Xiaole also cannot overlook this point and just take it as an ordinary residence. He shouted loudly, catching the attention of the patient staff member. The staff member initially thought it was a complaint, but the result was: "Very good! A cheap and thrilling house that fits my preferences perfectly. There is no better new home than this!"
The seller's concern about the attitude of the customer was unnecessary. Houses like this, resembling haunted houses, may indeed make most buyers frown, but there are indeed a few people who think it's even better. It's true that "different strokes for different folks". "If the customer is satisfied, that's the best. Then please go in and inspect it alone. If you can go around and still find no problem, you can sign the contract officially."
The staff member, before today, could never have expected that this "hot potato" would have the possibility of being sold one day. It can be called a miracle in the industry. Unfortunately, she underestimated the reaction of one buyer. Among Wang Xiaole's group, Freya was a silly and naive girl, but she had a brave heart. After all, she was a goddess and no matter how messed up she was, there was no reason for her to fear a mere ghost.
Wang Xiaole's reaction goes without saying. He was eagerly hoping for the ghost to appear right there, showing off his identity as a "supernatural enthusiast". Only Lucia exhibited completely different behavior from usual. The Demon King, who feared neither gods nor humans and regarded herself as the emperor, had a natural aversion to ghostly beings that she had never seen with her own eyes.
She crouched down, using a large tree near the mansion as a corner, hiding her body in the shadows of the tree, deluding herself into thinking she was hiding. Her body would shudder with every occasional rustling of the leaves above, and then she would lean even closer to the tree in front of her.
Wang Xiaole looked over and asked, "Sia, are you shivering?"
"No, no. Darling, you got it wrong. It's not me shivering, it's the shadow of the tree swaying in the wind!"
Was she trying to deceive a ghost with this cover-up? Even Freya wouldn't believe it. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I thought you were so courageous, so confident, but who would have thought that you would also fear something?"
Freya saw this accidental discovery as a rare opportunity; she immediately returned Lucia's recent provocations with interest, and even doubled it:
"How about this? If you show some humility and call me 'master', I might consider protecting you as my little lackey. Hahaha!"
What is the secret to giving courage? Wang Xiaole believed it to be "archenemy".
Since Freya was right there, Lucia's trembling only lasted for a short time; she quickly ran up to her and confronted her head-on. The nearby staff sympathized with Wang Xiaole:
"You're having a tough time."
"Not at all. What's the big deal? Everything is just getting started..."
Although Wang Xiaole didn't believe in gods, he still pressed his palms together and bowed to the sky above his head. He prayed for a slightly more peaceful cohabitation in the future, as if trying to grasp the moonlight in his outstretched palms, a symbol of a stable future.
A few minutes later, the corresponding key was handed out, and the person who received it had high hopes of becoming its true owner. The room, named "Exploration", officially began to rotate.
Wang Xiaole took the first step, pulling open the long-closed door and stepping in first. Freya stepped back, facing Lucia and with her back to the door. It was a mocking gesture, with one hand covering one eye and the other raising a middle finger, a move that required some difficulty. However, this goddess achieved it. In the next second, her head collided with the edge of the door, completing the challenging action but messing up the most basic walking.
The crucial step must be taken! Lucia encouraged herself from within and decided to transcend herself in this moment. She had to move forward, overcome her fears, and not embarrass herself in front of her lover, nor let herself be underestimated by a mere goddess.
