Beauty and the Beasts

Liu Yi clamped his briefcase under his arm and walked out. Bai Qingqing pulled Muir and quickly sent him out. She didn’t see the black sedan from earlier, but the chauffeur was still standing by the door, waiting for Liu Yi to leave together with him.

Bai Qingqing asked, feeling perplexed, “Where’s your car?”

“Oh, you’re referring to the car we came in? That’s Muir’s. It has been driven into the garage. The car key was placed on the coffee table in the living room,” Liu Yi said.

Bai Qingqing nodded composedly without a change in expression, sending the two of them off.

“My god!” Bai Qingqing finally shouted out as she raised her head and looked at Muir, stunned.

Muir turned his head and asked, “Is it a lot?”

Bai Qingqing gave him a gaze that seemed to say “Isn’t it?” She then said, “Let’s use the market price in the City of Beastmen as an example. A transparent crystal can allow one to stay in a stone house for ten years. Let’s just take it that ten transparent crystals can let one stay in the house forever.

“Let’s take an ordinary property price as one million yuan, with over 20 million yuan here, we’ll be able to buy over 20 stone houses! This villa can get at least ten sets of ordinary houses.”

Muir turned his head to look at his mate. His gaze seemed to show disapproval but also doubt.

After Bai Qingqing did the calculations, not only was she unable to convince Muir, she started to hesitate too.

Over 30 stone houses didn’t seem like a lot.

“Uh! That’s not right. The property prices in both worlds are different. Anyway, this is a lot of money.” Bai Qingqing pulled Muir into the garden and started to look around the new house.

This could be said to be her first home.

Muir also liked this villa a lot. He took his mate’s hand and sized up the place with interest.

The two of them chatted as they looked around. Muir said, “Other countries also came to look for me, trying to persuade me to leave the team and join their country.”

“There was such a thing?” Bai Qingqing said in surprise.

Muir said, “They don’t believe that I’m from China. Some countries gave an offer that’s a lot higher than this, but I rejected all of them.”

Bai Qingqing’s eyes gleamed, but she still said, “I think you shouldn’t take part in the next Olympics. It’s too frightening. I almost got a heart attack when I saw you on television.”

Bai Qingqing put her hand on her chest. Muir was amused by her action. He tightened his grip on the small hand he was holding and assured in a deep voice, “Alright.”

After they were done looking at the master bedroom, Bai Qingqing pulled him toward the big tree. “Let’s go take a look at that tree. I wonder what it looks like.”

Bai Qingqing ran quickly, but Muir caught up with her by taking large strides. He looked at his mate’s back view and his lips curled up slightly.

When they arrived at the treehouse, Bai Qingqing let out a “wow” and said, “It’s great!”

Muir’s eyes also lit up, and he took big strides over to the tree trunk.

The biggest fork of this tree was just nice in the center of the house, the height at Bai Qingqing’s chest level and Muir’s waist. The tree crown at the top could provide shelter from the wind and rain and it was quite stable, most suitable for making a bird nest.

Muir was still a beastman, after all. His nature couldn’t be wiped out. He was already visualizing the shape of a nest.

It would definitely be very great to be able to hatch eggs here.

Bai Qingqing saw Muir’s expression and immediately thought of the same thing. Her face reddened.

“Cough, this is very suited for leopard cubs to climb. Oh, no, Parker should like it a lot.” The more Bai Qingqing spoke, the redder her face became. She didn’t dare to look at Muir and climbed up by herself.

“This tree has been cleaned. It can even be treated as a sofa.” Bai Qingqing sat in the center of the tree fork, having the feeling that she was in a forest.

Muir looked up at the sky and said, “I think the rain will still leak through. It’s not suitable for laying out a cloth. I think I better build a grass nest in the center.”

As Muir said this, he paused, then walked over to take a look outside the window. “Is there a place with more plants? The trees here are too green.”
