Chapter 20 Buying the Manor
"OK, wait."
The proprietress responded and went to the kitchen to call the head chef, asking him to prepare the meal as soon as possible.
Bai Yujin sat down, and the sunlight from the doorway shone directly onto her desk.
In just a few minutes, she received her breakfast.
Soon, the proprietress served steaming hot soy milk and golden, crispy fried dough sticks. Bai Yujin took a small bite of the fried dough stick, and it tasted really good.
Sipping soy milk, I savored the morning in Kyoto.
Just as she was enjoying her breakfast, her phone vibrated.
It was Green Bubble who sent me a friend request.
Is this Wu Ruanruan?
It must be her.
There was no one else but her.
Bai Yujin agreed to add Wu Ruanruan as a friend, and immediately after accepting, she received a message from Wu Ruanruan.
[Sister Yujin, are you still at the hotel?]
Bai Yujin quickly typed back: [No, I'm having breakfast. I'm planning to look for a place to live later.]
Okay, then I'll wait until Sister Yujin settles down, and then I'll go find her and play together.
Okay, I'll wait for you.
After sending the message, Bai Yujin continued to enjoy her breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, we paid the bill.
Bai Yujin casually asked the proprietress.
"Madam, do you know of any abandoned villas, manors, or courtyard houses?" Upon hearing this, the proprietress wiped her hands and thought for a moment.
Pointing to a street corner, she said, "So, Miss, you're looking for a place that's a bit old-fashioned but not too noisy? Go west along this street, past the intersection ahead, there's an old street with some old houses."
"Although they are not villas, there are several courtyard houses. Over time, some people have moved away, and the houses have become empty."
“Speaking of abandoned manors, I do know one place, but it’s completely abandoned, and I’m afraid you wouldn’t be interested.”
Bai Yujin's eyes flashed with interest after hearing what the proprietress said.
"Oh? Where is that manor? I wouldn't mind going to take a look."
The proprietress gave Bai Yujin the address in detail.
"That manor is in the suburbs, called 'Puzhuo Manor'. It used to be the residence of a wealthy family, but the family fell into decline and it gradually became abandoned. Many people wanted to buy it, but they felt it wasn't worth it, so they didn't acquire it."
"If you want to see it, go north after leaving the old street. There is a small path. Follow the path to the end, and you will see the manor."
After hearing this, Bai Yujin thanked the proprietress and followed the direction with her suitcase. As the sun rose higher, more pedestrians appeared on the street, and Bai Yujin weaved through the crowd.
Following the landlady's directions, we walked through the old street and arrived at a suburban path. The scenery here was completely different from that in the city center. On both sides were lush trees, and occasionally we could hear birds chirping.
After walking for about half an hour, Bai Yujin finally saw the "Simple Manor".
The manor gate was rusty, and the ivy on the walls had spread out, almost covering the entire wall. Inside the manor, the trees were lush, and the outlines of several buildings could be vaguely seen, giving it a certain desolate beauty.
Bai Yujin pushed open the half-closed gate and walked into the manor.
The manor is overgrown with weeds, but the ancient buildings remain intact.
She walked along a path and found a relatively well-preserved courtyard. The gate was open, and although the inside was covered in dust, the structure was still sturdy.
This is the place she's been looking for.
Bai Yujin took out her phone, took a picture, and started contacting the agent she had saved earlier. After making the call, she inquired about matters related to purchasing the abandoned manor.
Soon after, the agent, Xiao Qi, replied to her, saying that he could help with the relevant procedures. As for the price, it wasn't too high, after all, it was a manor that had been abandoned for a long time, and it would be good if it could be sold at all.
Bai Yujin successfully bought a manor for the lowest price of five million.
Although it's abandoned, at least Silver Wolf can come out and have some fun.
This busy period lasted for half a day.
We finally bought the estate.
Bai Yujin stood in the center of the manor, looking at this little world that belonged to her, a sense of accomplishment welled up in her heart, and she imagined what this place would look like in the future.
Over the next three days, Bai Yujin cleaned up the garbage in the manor as quickly as possible. It was important to maintain appearances, otherwise it would easily attract attention.
It wouldn't be good if it got noticed.
During this period, Bai Yujin first replaced the abandoned house in the back with a new one, and then deliberately created an ordinary illusion.
To the average person, it remains as dilapidated as ever.
After doing all this, on the sixth day, she went to find some electricians and plumbers to help her set up the electricity and replace the water pipes with new ones.
The electricians and plumbers are very efficient.
In less than two months, the water and electricity in the manor were restored, and a brand-new heating system was installed for Bai Yujin.
Bai Yujin looked at the lights that had come on.
My heart is filled with satisfaction.
Next, we will design a small Chinese-style garden.
There are artificial hills, small bridges, flowing water, and a winding path, with various flowers and green plants planted on both sides.
When everything is ready.
Bai Yujin waved his hand, and a barrier was erected, covering the entire manor. Next was the formation. Once the formation was in place, it would be activated. This time, the manor was even more solid and sturdy.
Some people with ulterior motives couldn't even sneak in.
Afterwards, Bai Yujin went to the furniture market as quickly as possible and bought a lot of furniture, spending nearly 100 million yuan in the process.
The furniture she bought was mostly standard and not expensive, so she didn't buy any. She was thinking of taking out a few large pieces of furniture from her space.
If she can't afford the furniture, she can make do with the furniture in her space. It's not impossible, cough cough. The main problem is that she doesn't have much money on her, because she has it all stored separately. She doesn't plan to touch this money. She plans to transfer it to Aunt Yu and Uncle when she has time, as they need it for more purposes.
The renovation of a small part of the house, plus the money spent on buying the estate, and other miscellaneous expenses, added up to almost eight or nine million.
Electrical appliances and the like are included.
Besides these, the other thing is to install broadband.
A connection to the internet is definitely necessary; you can't do without it.
She even replaced the gate to the manor.
For example: a light blue door.
That gate belongs to a small sect on the Dragon Profound Continent.
Without saying a word, Bai Yujin closed the door.
Not for any other reason than the most appealing name on the sign.
The name 'Yunyin Xianju' sounds quite nice.
That small sect also has no one, and they don't need them for the time being.
Bai Yujin thought about moving it out for her own use.
Why not use it? It's better to take what's readily available.
Later, Bai Yujin searched through the space and found some practical folding spaces. Without hesitation, she used the folding spaces on the east side of the courtyard, which was the only one available and not very wide.
Bai Yujin plans to put other things on this vacant lot in the future.
