My journey to Konoha
Chapter 21: Almost successful..."
Did he notice something? Chu Yue thought... After waiting for a long time, Chu Yue noticed something unusual. The monk's intuition told her that it shouldn't take so long to change into the monk's clothes!
"Huo Lingmeng!" Chu Yue came to the outside of the locker room, knocked on the door lightly and called out.
"Huo Ling Meng!" She shouted again, but still got no response.
An uneasy atmosphere emanated from the locker room. Chu Yue no longer hesitated and kicked the door open. She saw Huo Lingmeng standing inside, surrounded by thick black fog.
"Hey." Chu Yue imitated Huo Lingmeng's voice and shouted softly, then reached out and grabbed her tightly.
Huo Lingmeng turned his head suddenly, and the expression on his face changed instantly.
First, he glared at Chu Yue with resentment, then he clenched his teeth in pain, and then he looked aggrieved and about to cry, but this grievance only lasted for a moment before turning into a look of loss...
Although his expressions were constantly changing, none of them were positive.
"Sir! How dare you destroy the dressing room!" At this time, the clerk hurried forward and said, "Besides, this is the women's clothing area. Your behavior..."
"I will compensate for all losses." Chu Yue interrupted the clerk, and Huo Lingmeng's expression returned to calm.
"Really, it was so close to success..." Huo Lingmeng said with regret.
"You are quite frank." Chu Yue shook her head helplessly.
"That's enough for today." Chu Yue continued, "I have enough clothes."
After saying this, Chu Yue looked up and down at Huo Lingmeng's monk uniform...
Hmm...it fits me pretty well...
Chu Yue smiled slightly.
"That smile is quite meaningful!" Huo Lingmeng caught Chu Yue's eyes and said, "It's a good smile, I like it."
"You should like sunny, honest and positive smiles!" Chu Yue immediately retorted.
"People with that kind of smile are so enviable..." Huo Lingmeng said gritting her teeth.
"Hehe." Chu Yue smiled faintly.
The road to guiding the evil spirit dream is long and arduous...
"Please change into normal clothes first." Chu Yue turned to the clerk, "Please get me a normal one."
"Okay." The clerk responded and handed her a black short-sleeved shirt and jeans.
"Isn't this normal attire?" Huo Lingmeng looked down at his monk's uniform and asked Chu Yue.
"It's normal, but..." Chu Yue explained, "It doesn't have pockets."
"No pockets?" Huo Lingmeng was puzzled. "How can I store magic weapons without pockets?"
"Oh, I have some selfish motives..." Chu Yue smiled, "Don't worry about it, just change it first. Is your bank card still there?"
"Hmm? You have selfish motives too..." Huo Lingmeng looked at Chu Yue complacently, "I thought you would always use principles that are opposite to mine to guide me."
"I'm not a saint..." Chu Yue shook her head, "But when I'm with you, I can talk about bad things openly."
"Really?" Huo Lingmeng stared at Chu Yue, "You exposed your weakness to me like this, it's easy for me to use it to control you."
"This is not a weakness." Chu Yue said to her, "Okay, why are you digressing again? Where's the bank card I gave you?"
Huo Lingmeng lowered his head and thought for two seconds, then replied, "I don't know."
Chu Yue and the shop assistant were both stunned...
"Were you busy changing clothes?" Chu Yue said in a humiliated tone, "Let's look for it."
"Is this it?" The clerk suddenly pointed to the card on the stool next to the locker room.
Chu Yue leaned over and picked up the bank card. "Yes, this is it. Thank you."
"You're welcome." The clerk smiled.
"Okay, let's go to another place and change clothes." Chu Yue said.
The door of the dressing room has been damaged and is no longer suitable for use...
Huo Lingmeng changed her clothes, and the left half of the totem was covered except for the face, making it look much more normal.
And...a black short-sleeved shirt paired with jeans is a youthful combination.
"Here you go." Chu Yue handed over the bank card and said, "Put it in your pocket."
Huo Lingmeng put the bank card into the pocket of his jeans and asked Chu Yue, "Is this really safe?"
"With your level of cultivation, if someone tried to take the bank card out of your pocket, would you not notice it? So it's absolutely safe." Chu Yue said.
"Really..." Huo Lingmeng lowered his head, his hands still in his pockets.
"I feel like something is still missing..." Chu Yue looked at her, "Oh, shoes."
"Ok?"
"Since you're wearing this kind of clothes, you have to pair them with sneakers." Chu Yue said, turning to the clerk, "You understand."
"Okay, please follow me." The clerk understood and led Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng to the women's sports shoes area.
After some selection, I chose a pair of sneakers to try on.
Chu Yue originally wanted to buy all the shoes for Huo Lingmeng at once, but considering the time, she was afraid it would be too late, so she had to leave it for later.
"That's all." Chu Yue said, "Where do we pay?"
"This way, please." The clerk led Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng to the cashier.
It was already afternoon when we left the clothing mall. Next we needed to buy a place to live.
Chu Yue took the opportunity to store the purchased goods into the magic weapon space to avoid becoming the image of a poor man carrying large bags.
It was already afternoon when we walked out of the clothing mall. The purchase of a house was still in the offing, and if we were to pick shoes for Huo Lingmeng, we would probably have to wait until late at night!
The first thing to consider when buying a house is proximity to Guangzaka Academy. Chu Yue held Huo Lingmeng's hand and asked the pedestrians on the street.
During the inquiry, they received good news.
Originally, Chu Yue planned to go to a real estate company to buy it, but Japan's professional agency requires a lot of official procedures and she didn't know what troubles would arise.
Private real estate transactions are much simpler. Chu Yue learned from a passerby that a family near Guangzaka College was preparing to move out of town and their house was for sale or rent.
After asking passers-by for their exact location, Chu Yue pulled Huo Lingmeng there.
Passing by a telephone pole, Chu Yue found a house sale advertisement on it. The description seemed to be exactly what that family had posted, so he took down the advertisement.
After tearing off the advertisement, Chu Yue turned around and looked at Huo Lingmeng.
Although she looks like an ordinary girl, the totem on her left face is still...
Going to that family to discuss the purchase of a house, bringing the evil spirit dream might have unknown effects...
"We need to buy a hat," Chu Yue said, "It can't completely cover it up, but at least it shows our intentions."
"What a hassle." Huo Lingmeng complained.
"Hat...let's go find a supermarket." Chu Yue said.
They found a supermarket nearby, and after entering, Chu Yue picked out a suitable baseball cap.
Taking off the hat, Chu Yue turned to ask Huo Lingmeng: "Can you braid your hair?"
"What do you think?" Huo Lingmeng asked back, letting go of Chu Yue's hand, reaching behind her head, untying the huge bow headband, and then gathering her hair together.
"Not bad. I thought you didn't know basic life knowledge." Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Hmph." Huo Lingmeng tied her hair with a bow headband and tied her long hair into a ponytail.
Huo Lingmeng's hair was originally very long, and even when it was tied into a ponytail, it was almost waist-length.
"If it weren't for the bow, she would look even more youthful." Chu Yue said. The huge butterfly knot was filled with a fantasy-like atmosphere, which was incompatible with the coldness that a cultivator should have.
Huo Lingmeng's ponytail was only tied with a ribbon, and the huge butterfly knot looked quite out of place.
Let’s leave this matter alone for now... Chu Yue thought to herself and handed a monk’s hat to Huo Lingmeng.
Huo Lingmeng put on a monk's hat and let his braid stick out from the gap behind the hat.
The monk's hat concealed the magic patterns on Huo Lingmeng's cheeks, making him look more like a young practitioner.
Only the huge butterfly knot still has a bit of strangeness, but it is still tolerable.
"That's all." Chu Yue said with a smile, "Let's go."
"Hmm." Huo Lingmeng turned around and was about to leave.
Chu Yue quickly walked to Huo Lingmeng's side and held her wrist.
"Don't play tricks." Chu Yueyan said, "Just follow me closely."
Huo Ling Meng can temporarily suppress negative energy. Chu Yue knew this very well, so she let her tie her hair into a ponytail.
When leaving the store, Huo Lingmeng turned around, intending to break free from Chu Yue's restraints so as not to suppress her own aura. How could this little trick be hidden from Chu Yue?
Holding Huo Lingmeng's hand, he quickly found the mansion shown on the flyer.
This is a magnificent two-story pavilion with gorgeous exterior decoration, and it must be a top-notch work.
Chu Yue knocked lightly on the door.
Soon, a plump middle-aged woman opened the door and saw Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng. She was surprised and asked, "You two?"
"Excuse me, is this the notice posted by your government?" Chu Yue showed the flyer torn from the stone pillar.
"Yes, it was posted by my husband." The woman took the flyer and said, "Do you two want to see the house?"
"Yeah." Chu Yue nodded.
"I understand. Please come in." The woman opened the door and invited Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng in.
Although the two looked young, Chu Yue's calm temperament made the woman feel that she was no joke.
After leading them to the living room, the woman served tea to Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng, "Wait a moment, I'll go call my husband over."
"Thank you." Chu Yueyan said.
The woman left, and Chu Yue looked at Huo Lingmeng, "Try to stay quiet for a while."
"Hehe." Huo Lingmeng chuckled, with a slightly evil look in his eyes.
"Don't let me intimidate you all the time." Chu Yue's tone turned cold, "Can you be more obedient?"
"Hmph!" The evil look in Huo Lingmeng's eyes faded away.
Chu Yue was sure that if she didn't put pressure on him, Huo Lingmeng would definitely make a mess of things!
Soon, the woman and a man walked into the living room.
"Auntie Lan, just go and do your thing." The man said to the woman after entering the house.
"Yes, sir." The woman responded and left the living room.
"Gentlemen, are you interested in this house?" The man sat opposite Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng and said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm Chu Yue and she's Huo Ling Meng." Chu Yue introduced.
"I'm Takeshi Sakata, the current owner of this house," the man said, "But where are your elders? Are you only allowed to view the house alone?"
"Um, is this house for sale?" Chu Yue changed the subject.
"Exactly." Sakata Take replied, "Do you want to see it now?"
"Yes." Chu Yue nodded, "Is it okay?"
"Of course you can..." Sakata Take replied, "But don't you want to hear the price first?"
"Uh... that's not the point." Chu Yue said, "At least, I think I can afford the price of this house."
"Haha, then let's take a look." Sakata Take did not look down on Chu Yue. He smiled and led Chu Yue to visit the house.
This is a two-story building. The second floor has four spacious double bedrooms, which are better for single occupancy and all equipped with small bathrooms. There is also a room on the second floor that is used as a study.
The first floor has a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and a storage room.
In addition, there is a small courtyard behind the house.
It is really luxurious...
After browsing through the rooms one by one, Chu Yue was very satisfied. The house was spacious, with many rooms and a reasonable layout.
After the tour, the three returned to the living room.
"I think it's good." Chu Yue said to Sakata Take, "Next, let's talk about the price."
"Okay." Sakata Take nodded. "You can see that, although it is second-hand, the decoration and facilities are very good. So the price..."
"I understand." Chu Yue nodded.
"Also, the furniture and electrical appliances in the room." Sakata Take said, "If necessary, we can include them. Of course, the prices of furniture and electrical appliances will be very favorable."
"Okay." Chu Yue nodded.
There was another round of negotiation about the furniture and appliances needed, and Takeya Sakata gave his price.
To Sakata Take's surprise, Chu Yue didn't bargain too much and finalized the deal.
After everything was agreed upon, it was almost night.
The woman opened the living room door and said to Takeshi Sakata, "Sir, dinner is ready."
"Okay." Sakata Take nodded and turned to Chu Yue and Huo Ling Meng, "How about having dinner together?"
"You're welcome." Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Yes." Sakata Take nodded, "Take them to the restaurant, I'll be there soon."
"Okay." The woman led Chu Yue and Huo Ling Meng to the restaurant, while Sakata Take picked up the phone, not knowing who he was talking to.
In the restaurant, Chu Yue asked the middle-aged woman: "Does Mr. Sakata live alone?"
"That's not the case. There are also the lady and the young master." The woman replied, "However, they are now living in a new home."
"Have you moved yet?" Chu Yue asked.
"Yes," the woman replied, "the gentleman will also be leaving in a few days. To be honest, if you hadn't come, no one would have bought this house, and it might have been vacant for a long time until someone contacted the gentleman."
"I see." Chu Yue nodded. Recalling Sakata Take's phone call, it should be a call with his wife and children.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Sakata Take walked into the restaurant, "Auntie Lan, let's eat."
After dinner, Chu Yue continued her conversation with Sakata Take.
"By the way, why didn't that girl say anything?" Sakata Take asked casually.
"She...is not feeling well." Chu Yue made an excuse, "Don't worry about her."
Huo Lingmeng listened to Chu Yue very much and didn't say a word.
"Then, how do I pay?" Chu Yue asked, "Cash or bank transfer?"
"Let's do a bank transfer." said Takeshi Sakata.
"Then let's go to the bank tomorrow." Chu Yue said, "The bank must be closed now."
"Well, there's no rush." Sakata Take said, "If you're worried, you can pay a quarter of the deposit first."
"No need." Chu Yue said, "I will transfer the money to you as soon as the bank opens tomorrow."
"Okay, okay..." Sakata Takeru said, "Then, after we get out of the bank, let's handle the property transfer."
"Yeah." Chu Yue nodded.
"You... are so relieved." Sakata Takeru couldn't help but say, "You didn't even sign a contract."
"Haha." Chu Yue smiled, "It's not that I have enough trust in you, Mr. Sakata, but... I have full confidence in myself, in every aspect."
Chu Yue finished speaking and glanced at Sakata Take.
Sakata Take Sakata Take firmly believed that Chu Yue must be involved in killing and had committed many sins!
Who on earth is this boy? Sakata Take felt awe for Chu Yue.
"Mr. Sakata, Mr. Sakata!" Chu Yue's call awakened Sakata Take from his fright.
"Hmm, hmm?" Sakata Take came back to his senses, but took a step back because of Chu Yue's approach.
"Don't be afraid." Chu Yue smiled faintly, "We won't harm you, just treat us as ordinary people."
"Mortal, mortal..." Sakata Take murmured.
What does this mean? Could it be that Chu Yue and Huo Lingmeng are not ordinary people?
Sakata Take smiled bitterly, his eyes passed Chu Yue and fell on Huo Ling Meng. However, when his eyes touched Huo Ling Meng, the other party also raised his eyelids, and the pupils under the brim of his hat looked directly at him.
Sakata Take chose to ignore the totem on Huo Lingmeng's left face because...
She was smiling strangely, a smile of satisfaction that came from bloodthirstiness and madness, as if she was a demon who had killed countless people, or a ferocious beast that had feasted on human flesh, with a smug curve at the corners of her mouth!
"Ah!" Takeshi Sakata immediately took a few steps back and accidentally fell to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Chu Yue quickly pulled down Huo Lingmeng's hat.
"Nothing..." Huo Lingmeng said, "His fear... hehe..."
Chu Yue felt helpless. She actually felt a little excited about Sakata Take's fear.
"Okay, don't be afraid anymore." Chu Yue comforted Sakata Take, "Just pretend that what happened just now never happened. You don't need to ask about our affairs, it won't cause you any trouble."
"Yes, yes!" Sakata Take replied in panic.
Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Don't speculate too much. This is good for us as well as for you."
"Yes, yes!" Sakata Takemu nodded timidly and just responded.
It seems that it is not easy to change Sakata Take's impression of the two. Chu Yue shook her head helplessly and turned to look at Huo Lingmeng.
This guy didn't do it on purpose...
