Chapter 111 Don't play dumb with me! Isn't this what they do?
"Phew...so tired."
A few hours later, Tong emerged from the dragon realm in her room, which was called the "Mirage Treasure Vault".
He was so exhausted that he was completely out of his mind, and he was still holding a large handful of Jiufang coins in his arms.
It is a nine-sided coin made of pure coins, with a face value ranging from 1 to 100.
That huge bunch... it looks like there are thousands of them.
After all, most of them have small denominations.
"Master Du was right... there are Nine Directions Coins everywhere... as well as other rare materials needed for Dragon Blood cultivation... This director has only been eyeing the Nine Directions Coins, and after all this time we've only managed to get this little bit..."
Tong was almost exhausted. She casually tossed the nine-square coins in her arms onto the ground, then rummaged through the four pockets of her clothes and pants, pulling out four handfuls of nine-square coins and piling them on the ground.
"Oh dear—"
With a thud, he plopped down on the ground and fanned himself with his hand.
"Huff...huff...there are just too many dragon skeletons in that Dragon Domain, they're everywhere like materials. Although they're not very strong, the kind that can take down several with one shot, they just pop out from somewhere and launch a sneak attack every now and then..."
"Moreover, I left in such a hurry that I even forgot to bring my weapons. My hands are red from being hit, and my legs are sore from being kicked... But carrying weapons while also considering not damaging the treasures in the Dragon Realm... is quite difficult."
Exhausted, Tong limped towards the Nine-Square Coins, reaching out her hands to gather the scattered coins.
Let this director see just how much I've worked myself to the bone to produce.
"So, Director? This Dragon Realm is a good thing, isn't it?"
Tong, who was sitting on the floor, suddenly looked up and realized that Mr. Du was squatting on her tattered sofa, with an opened bag of cat food at his feet.
A dark cat paw reached into the cat food bag, revealing its sharp claw, pierced a piece of cat food, and then slowly lifted the paw to put the cat food into the cat's mouth. The whole process was elegant and composed.
Tong realized that it was Master Du having breakfast.
That's true, it was already three or four in the morning when I returned to Longchao Pavilion, wasn't it?
"Good stuff... This Dragon Domain is indeed a good thing... Hehe... Master Du, you really didn't lie to me..."
Tong is still quite tired, she's out of breath, and her speech is still intermittent.
"Director, you should remember what I said earlier..."
"I remember! I remember~"
Tong readily interrupted Master Du's speech, pointed to the pile of nine coins in front of her, and gestured with her chin towards Master Du.
"You...you yourself...see how much to take...go and do it yourself...Dragon Domain belongs to Dragon Tide Pavilion, right? If it weren't for Boss Mirage's strength, he wouldn't have been able to acquire Dragon Domain...This director understands...I understand!"
"Let me, the director, take a break first... As for the money distribution... I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Du, to handle that..."
Old Master Du jumped off Tong's tattered green sofa.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Looking at the huge pile of Nine-Square Coins in front of him, he sighed inwardly, thinking how useless Tong was! All he did was pick up Nine-Square Coins from a pile of treasures!
Then, with a single paw, it swept 90% of the pile of Nine-Fang Coins to its own side, leaving only a pitiful few dozen coins in front of Tong.
Tong: "??? Mr. Du, are you kidding me?"
Master Du slowly and deliberately stroked the cat's whiskers, and calmly began to speak:
"Lady Mirage left a message saying that she wants 80% of the output of this Dragon Domain. Is that alright?"
"......no problem."
Lady Mirage? Then it's alright.
"But even with these few coins left, it's not even 20%?"
"I've gone to great lengths to explain the wonders of this Dragon Domain to you, and I told you this good news the moment you returned to Dragon Tide Pavilion. Don't I deserve a ten percent share?"
"Director, as you know, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I, Du, am not offering free explanations."
After hearing this, Tong slumped back weakly, lying face down on the ceiling.
"...Aaaaah! Destroy it all... It's so hard to make money..."
.................................................................................................................................
Meanwhile, on the other side, let's turn our attention back to Min Moyou's [Paradise Beyond the World] Dragon Domain.
Min Moyou led Yu Bing towards the mansion in the center of this Dragon Domain. Compared to the Linglong Pavilion Dragon Domain of the Yu Clan, this place was like a fairy tale world in a dream!
Yu Bing thought: Linglong Pavilion used to belong to our Yu Clan, so the Linglong Pavilion Dragon Domain should also belong to our Yu Clan.
Unwittingly, the young lady of the Yu family, who loves to compare herself to others, has been captivated by this perfect dragon realm. In order to maintain her so-called composure, she even has to forcefully suppress her urge to marvel.
Wow! What is that towering stone tablet that reaches into the clouds? And beneath it lies such a vast collection of rare materials like Illusionary Dust and Dragon Jade!
Wow! His dragon jade is so big and so perfectly round! I've never seen dragon jade of this quality in the Yu Clan before! And he has a whole bunch of them here!?!
(Yu Youming: LOL, you get to have access to good stuff?)
Wow... Wow...
On the surface, she appeared calm and composed, neither happy nor sad, but the boundless longing and yearning in her eyes betrayed her—
If only all of this were mine...
It's hard for anyone to see all this without having such thoughts, right?
Once Min Moyou's men entered this Dragon Domain, there was no need for them to hide anymore. They simply followed Min Moyou and Yu Bing from a distance, briefly relaxing their long-tense nerves.
This was also the order Min Moyou gave them: within this dragon domain, they did not need their protection and could relax freely.
After gaining the ability of [Insight], Min Moyou explored this dragon domain and discovered that although it had no means of attack, its level was a terrifying Gold Rank 3. This means that only a strong person with a Dragon Curse level of at least Gold Rank 3 could discover this dragon domain. Furthermore, Min Moyou disregarded his authority and forcibly broke into and destroyed the dragon domain.
How many experts at the third rank of the Gold Realm are there in this world?
They are extremely rare, the very top of the pyramid in the Dragon Blood Realm, and even that existence is uncertain.
If he were to actually encounter it, he would have no ability to resist.
Therefore, the so-called protection and vigilance are no longer necessary in this Dragon Domain.
Before long, Min Moyou brought Yu Bing to the center of the Dragon Domain—a magnificent mansion with two imposing characters on the plaque above the gate: "Min Mansion".
The gate of the house is spacious and solemn, made of the finest mahogany with exquisite carvings. The lintel is carved with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, and every stroke reveals the craftsman's superb skills and his wish for a better life.
On either side of the gate, a pair of stone lions, each over three meters tall and made from a mixture of illusory dust, gleam with a deep blue light, majestically guarding the peace of this home. Their eyes reveal power and determination, and their open mouths hold two complete, golden dragon jades, seemingly capable of dispelling all ominous energy.
Inside the house, the first thing that catches the eye is a spacious courtyard with an exquisite pond in the center. Lotus flowers stand gracefully in the pond, and fish swim leisurely. The water ripples, creating a breathtaking scene.
The courtyard is surrounded by an exquisitely carved wooden corridor, which is decorated with red lanterns and various Minnan folk art pieces, such as paper-cutting and clay sculptures, exuding a strong local flavor and festive atmosphere.
The main building of the house is a three-story structure with blue bricks and gray tiles, flying eaves and upturned corners. The roof is covered with layers of glazed tiles, which shine with golden light under the virtual sunlight in the Dragon Realm.
Each floor features exquisitely designed openwork windows, serving both ventilation and natural light while enhancing the building's aesthetic appeal. At night, the soft light filtering through the windows, combined with the moonlight, creates a warm and mysterious atmosphere.
However, the house was deserted and looked like no one had ever lived there. All the buildings and furniture were new... This put Yu Bing, who was standing at the gate hesitantly, at ease.
It seems that bad guy wasn't lying to me... he really wasn't here to meet the parents.
Skipping over that question, Yu Bing attempted to analyze the architectural style of the Min family from the exterior of the house...
Magnificent, grand, domineering, extravagant...
Seriously, are those Dragon Jade and Illusionary Dust really just decorations?! That seems like such a waste!
In the Fujian residence, one can see almost everywhere buildings adorned with illusory micro-dust as a fluorescent material and dragon jade as decoration...
Min Moyou also paused for a moment, following Yu Bing—it was also the first time he had seen this house, and it was truly beautiful!
As for expenses, apart from the Dragon Jade and Illusionary Dust which he paid for himself—deducted from the materials produced in the Immortal Realm—it wasn't much anyway, the system took care of everything else.
Min Moyou couldn't wait to see what was inside the house, so she pretended to be very familiar with it and beckoned Yubing to go inside.
The interior decoration of the Fujian residence blends traditional and modern elements (referred to as "Guochao" in humorous terms), featuring both antique furniture such as mahogany tables and chairs and blue and white porcelain vases, and modern and comfortable sofas, lamps and artworks.
A huge landscape painting depicting the coastal scenery of Qinmin District hangs in the center of the living room. In the painting, mountains and water are intertwined, the sea and sky are one color, and clouds and mist swirl around.
The backyard of the house also features an exquisite garden, with artificial hills, small bridges, flowing water, and flowers blooming in all seasons. There is also a small pavilion where family and friends can enjoy tea and conversation, and spend leisurely time...
This colossal structure stands amidst lush greenery and winding streams, blending perfectly with the surrounding landscape of this dragon realm.
After taking a stroll around, Min Moyou nodded in satisfaction—that's more like it! What kind of talk is it for the sole heir of a reclusive super family to stay in hotels every day?
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to sleep in the grass and flowers, Minmoyou would have moved to this outdoor paradise long ago.
"So? My Min family's house, my residence, is it still to your liking?"
Minmoyou led Yubing to the bedroom area.
"very good."
Yu Bing had never seen rare materials used as building materials before, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
In terms of exquisite grandeur, it is comparable to her family's Yu family mansion, though they have different styles.
In terms of luxury... Yu's mansion, built entirely with materials readily available in the ordinary world, pales in comparison to Min Moyou's.
"Aren't you tired and want to rest? Please choose one of the rooms here."
Min Moyou spoke calmly to Yu Bing, then turned to his subordinates behind him and said the same thing:
"You all go and pick one yourselves. After you've chosen, get some rest."
The bedroom area consists of many small, staggered lofts, so there is no shortage of rooms.
"Yes, Master."
Min Moyou's subordinates dispersed on their own, leaving only Min Moyou and Yu Bing still in the same spot.
Yu Bing looked at the pavilions and towers before her and hesitated to move forward.
"What? There's nothing here that you like?"
"Or do you want to...?"
Min Moyou patted Yu Bing on the shoulder, his expression meaningful...
"No! I didn't mean to! It's just... um... which room are you staying in?"
