Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 126 Accompanying Tang Ya to Buy a House

Tang Ya had just stepped out of the Soul Arena when she saw Ye Chen, and she was immediately delighted.

"Ye Chen, what brings you here?"

When Tang Ya saw Ye Chen, she rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

Since there was no one around, Tang Ya relaxed a little.

"Of course I miss Sister Xiaoya~" Ye Chen lowered his head slightly and kissed Tang Ya on the cheek.

"Hmph, you'd better think about it seriously..."

Tang Ya blushed slightly and muttered to herself.

After all, Ye Chen's needs in that area were so great, she had to help him every time...

"Ahem, I'm not that kind of person."

Ye Chen said seriously, then changed the subject, "Sister Xiaoya, I think it's time for the Tang Sect to have a base. Let's go to Shrek City and buy a mansion to serve as the Tang Sect's base. It will be more convenient in the future."

On the spot, Ye Chen expressed his idea that he needed his own room so that it would be more convenient for him to work in the future.

Otherwise, I would have to go to a hotel every time. Although the VIP rooms at the hotel are very nice, they are still not as good as home in some aspects.

Although Shrek Academy's housing prices are very high, they can never exceed the price of a single Soul Bone.

Gold Soul Coins have strong purchasing power; only items used by Soul Masters, such as Soul Tools and Soul Bones, are slightly more expensive.

Ye Chen had already inquired and found out that a mansion of 3,000 square meters was only worth a few hundred gold soul coins.

Ye Chen had actually already set his sights on a small mansion, and with his current assets, he could easily buy it outright.

However, since it's going to be the Tang Sect's future base in Shrek City, we definitely need to show it to Tang Ya. If Tang Ya has no objections, we can just buy it.

"What? Buy a mansion? That must cost a lot of money. Isn't that a bit too wasteful?" Tang Ya was immediately worried upon hearing this, clearly concerned about Ye Chen's wallet.

Although she had the legacy left by the Tang Clan, the Tang Clan had long since declined by then, and its external businesses had been divided up, so her legacy was not much.

It's fine to let her live a happy life, but if we use the money to buy a house, it's a bit of a stretch.

At the same time, she was deeply moved, never expecting that Ye Chen would care so much about the Tang Sect.

He was even willing to use his own money to buy a base for the Tang Clan.

As expected, she hadn't misjudged Ye Chen. Making him the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan was perhaps the most correct decision she had ever made.

"Let's go, I'll show you the mansion I've chosen first, and if it's suitable, we'll buy it."

Ye Chen pulled Tang Ya directly towards the academy's exit, explaining, "Don't worry about money. I'm a Soul Master, making money is a piece of cake. Tang Sect is a sect after all; it would be too shabby if it didn't even have a base."

"Right……"

Tang Ya nodded, then asked, "How much does the mansion cost? I have some money too, I can't let you pay for it all by yourself."

Tang Ya gently bit her lip, clearly prepared for a major hemorrhage.

"No need, I can do it," Ye Chen waved his hand.

He had long regarded the Tang Clan as his harem, so investing in the Tang Clan was only natural.

Buying a mansion and bringing them here for rest and vacation in their spare time would be a good option.

As for developing and expanding the Tang Sect, that can be dealt with later. Once Ye Chen is invincible, he only needs to say one word to make the Tang Sect the number one sect on the continent. There is no need to build it up step by step like playing a simulation management game.

"Alright... then thank you for spending the money..." Seeing Ye Chen's resolute attitude, Tang Ya had no choice but to give up, feeling even more grateful and fond of Ye Chen.

"I am, after all, the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan. This is what I should do."

Ye Chen waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, Sister Xiaoya, let's go. I've found a nice mansion. If you think it's suitable, we'll buy it and use it as the future base for the Tang Clan's development."

……

Ye Chen, holding Tang Ya's hand, walked out of Shrek Academy and headed towards the mansion he had his eye on in Shrek City. "It's not far, just turn the corner up ahead," Ye Chen said as they walked.

Tang Ya was also holding Ye Chen's hand, her heart filled with anticipation.

She knew how difficult it would be to rebuild the Tang Clan. Before, she couldn't even find any Tang Clan disciples, let alone own a mansion exclusively for the Tang Clan in Shrek City.

Before long, a simple and elegant mansion came into view.

The mansion's walls, built of gray stone, are not high but have a sense of age. Two dark wooden gates are open, seemingly waiting for the owner's arrival.

"This is it." Ye Chen stopped and pointed to the mansion.

Tang Ya looked up and her eyes lit up.

This mansion was not quite what she had imagined. Unlike the ostentatious and wealthy style commonly seen in Shrek City, it appeared low-key and composed, with a touch of refined elegance.

The stone steps in front of the door are clean, and the simple carvings on the lintel give it a grand appearance.

Just by looking at the exterior, she felt that this place was very suitable as the starting point for the reconstruction of the Tang Clan, as it was low-key and unassuming.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Ye Chen could tell from Tang Ya's eyes that she had a good first impression.

Tang Ya nodded, feeling both nervous and expectant: "Mmm!"

Ye Chen took Tang Ya's small hand and led her inside.

The entrance leads to a front yard that is neither too big nor too small, paved with bluestone slabs, clean and tidy.

Several hardy evergreen shrubs were planted in the corner of the yard, adding some life to the yard.

After passing a screen wall made of blue bricks, the interior suddenly opens up to a much more spacious main courtyard.

The courtyard has a square layout, and a path paved with smooth pebbles leads to several houses arranged in a staggered pattern at the back.

Tang Ya's gaze was quickly drawn to something on one side of the courtyard.

There, surprisingly, was a square pool made of polished bluestone!

"Wow! There's a pool here?" Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise, and ran over to take a closer look.

Although the weather was still a bit chilly, the sight of this bright pool of clear water was truly refreshing and cheerful.

"This is a small artificial swimming pool. The water is all groundwater, so it's warm in winter and cool in summer," Ye Chen explained as he caught up, a smug smile on his face. "When I saw it, I thought it was great. When the weather gets hot, I can come and soak in the water to cool off."

Of course, wearing swimwear to the pool is definitely a great idea.

Ye Chen envied Zhang Lexuan's hot spring, so he found a mansion with a small swimming pool.

"Hmph, this pool is just so you can see us in our swimsuits, right?" Tang Ya grumbled, seeing right through Ye Chen's little scheme.

"Haha, alright, alright, let's take a look at the rooms inside." Ye Chen was caught out and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject and pulled Tang Ya towards the back.

Although the houses behind are a bit old, their structures are all intact.

The main hall was spacious and bright, and there were several rooms at the back suitable for living or as quiet rooms. One of them was very large, and Ye Chen pointed to it and said that it could be converted into a soul tool manufacturing room.

There was also a kitchen and a sizable storage room. Although not as luxurious as a grand palace, it was enough for the Tang Clan members to use daily or conduct business, and it was quiet and undisturbed.

Each room has large windows, so the light is excellent.

Tang Ya looked at each room one by one, and the more she looked, the more she liked them.

The space is sufficient, and the location is suitable, neither too far nor too close to Shrek Academy.

The dormitory is too small and dilapidated, making many things inconvenient.

How wonderful it would be to have a home of my own in Shrek City...
