This house is about ninety square meters, equivalent to a two-bedroom, two-living room layout from his previous life, and much better than the room he’s currently renting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked Landlord Lin, \"Taoist Friend Lin, what’s the rent for this house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landlord Lin readily replied, \"You’re an old tenant, I’ll give you a bargain, seven Spirit Stones a month, deposit one and pay three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun chuckled, pointing to the house across the alley with an equally large area:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Lin, I heard someone say that the rent for the house opposite is four Spirit Stones a month, is that bargain for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having long been dealing with these cunning merchants, Qin Gengyun knew they never spoke a truthful word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, Qin Gengyun’s claim of four Spirit Stones for the house opposite was just a casual fib, anyway, it’s a game of deceit and trickery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which scoundrel said that? I just let that house for six Spirit Stones last month; may lightning strike me if I’m lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landlord Lin swore vehemently, but seeing Qin Gengyun still smiling at her, she rolled her eyes and then giggled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qin, since you and I know each other, how about five Spirit Stones a month, no cheaper!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed five Spirit Stones was Landlord Lin’s bottom line, so Qin Gengyun didn’t haggle further and said to Landlord Lin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Lin, wait a moment, I’ll bring my wife over to look; if she is satisfied, we’ll take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll wait for you two here.\" Landlord Lin looked Qin Gengyun up and down with envy on her heavily made-up face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qin, your relationship with your wife is so good, unlike my dead pancake of a husband who never consults me and treats me as if I don’t exist, sigh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the landlord’s grievance, Qin Gengyun quickly returned home, opened the door, and Qiu Zhihe was sitting cross-legged on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun excitedly said to her, \"Taoist Friend Qiu, I just looked at a big house at the end of Narrow Rain Lane, let’s go see it; if you’re satisfied, we’ll rent it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes, glanced calmly at Qin Gengyun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then closed her eyes again, continuing her cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling helpless, Qin Gengyun sat beside the bed and introduced it one by one:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The house includes one bedroom, one study, a living and dining room combination outside, and a separate bathing room; you can comfortably soak in the tub for baths in the future...Taoist Friend Qiu, you should come take a look with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes coldly gazing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun silenced himself and tiptoed out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the large house at the very end of Narrow Rain Lane, Landlord Lin seeing him return alone, wondered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qin, where is your wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun laughed heartily, \"My wife says it’s all up to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landlord Lin gave a thumbs-up, \"Taoist Friend Qin, you really have a way at home, commanding great respect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not too bad, haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun touched his chin, said to Landlord Lin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Lin, I’ll rent this house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They signed the lease agreement, and Qin Gengyun paid four months’ rent, with one month as a deposit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small room he and Qiu Zhihe lived in was also deposit one and pay three, paid three months’ rent last month, 80 spirit coins a month, leaving 2 Spirit Stones 40 spirit coins, which Landlord Lin included into the rent for the big house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the Spirit Stones, this two-bedroom, two-living room house would now be Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe’s new home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering his past life, it’s the first time Qin Gengyun lived in such a big house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling quite excited, he returned once more to the small room.
