Ghost Wood City.

Liu Zixuan hummed a little tune as he pushed open the bathroom door. He intended to use the toilet, but the scene before him left him stunned.

A perfect figure stood there, covered in white bubbles, with glimpses of fair skin.

Long, beautiful legs, a smooth flat stomach, perky peaks, arms like jade lotuses.

Above such a perfect body was a pretty face with wide-open eyes!

"Liu Zixuan, you pervert, what are you doing in my room!"

At noon, a scream echoed from Xiaoqiao Apartment.

Liu Zixuan clutched his forehead and complained, "How is this my fault? What are you taking a bath for at this time of day?"

"I spent all morning taking buses and shopping, I'm sweaty all over, can't I take a bath?" Jiang Yiyi covered herself with a bathrobe and scolded, "But you, why are you in my room!"

"Of course, it's your fault." Liu Zixuan grinned, "Wouldn't it be better to buy a house in a residential area? Instead, you chose this apartment. Every room looks the same. It's my first time here, how could I not get it wrong?"

Honestly, Liu Zixuan really went to the wrong room. Every room looked the same inside and out. Being new here, he couldn't remember which was his room.

"I kindly arranged the place for everyone, and it's somehow my fault?" Jiang Yiyi snapped, "I think you just want to be a pervert!"

"Ruyan, please do something about Liu Zixuan, he's just a shameless rascal!"

As Liu Zixuan listened to Yiyi's outburst, he quickly ran to the living room.

Ridiculous, if I wanted to see your body, I'd just use my X-ray Vision, why would I run to your bathroom to get scolded?

He really just wanted to use the bathroom!

When he arrived here, Zhu Yi had already returned to Yuqing City. They planned to settle in a hotel first, then look for a place to stay, but Jiang Yiyi had already arranged everything.

Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan thought it would be a residential house, but surprisingly, it was this kind of apartment. Jiang Yiyi used the money from selling a building to rent the entire second floor of this apartment.

The apartment was called Xiaoqiao, with two floors. The owner lived on the first floor but rarely visited, while the second floor had nine rooms arranged in a circle, with a large living room in the middle, and a dining room and kitchen on the side.

The environment was quite nice, with a small artificial lake behind the apartment, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Liu Ruyan saw Liu Zixuan spacing out in the living room and came out smiling, "You've upset Yiyi again!"

"What do you mean, 'upset again'?" Liu Zixuan said unhappily, "It's clearly the brat's fault!"

"Alright, we've just arrived in this unfamiliar city. We all need to stick together and help each other out. Aren't you two tired of fighting all the time?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes and walked to the window in the back.

Pointing to the center of the artificial lake, she smiled and asked, "Do you know where the name Ghost Wood City comes from?"

Liu Zixuan also looked outside. In the center of the artificial lake was a large locust tree. He frowned and asked, "Could it be related to this locust tree?"

Liu Ruyan chuckled and began to explain to Liu Zixuan.

Many years ago, Ghost Wood City was named Lin City.

But in the very center of the city, there was a three-hundred-year-old locust tree!

It was said that many years ago, a disaster forced the people here to migrate. To ensure that those who left would always remember this place, they planted a locust tree in the city center together.

Over time, many of those who had left gradually returned to visit. The meaning of this locust tree became so significant that the city was officially renamed Ghost Wood City!

Listening to Liu Ruyan, Liu Zixuan said in surprise, "You're not simple, dear wife. You've learned about the history here in just half a day!"

"You have to understand more about a new city,"

Liu Ruyan said with a smile, "The first time I came here was on business, but this time, we're staying for quite a while, so we need to get familiar with it, understand it, and make this place our home!"

"Home?" Liu Zixuan was briefly taken aback by the word.

"Haven't you heard the saying that without a home, everywhere you go is just wandering?"

"People who are educated sure do speak differently!" Liu Zixuan gave Liu Ruyan a thumbs-up.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him, "Why do I feel like you're not really praising me!"

"Hehe." Liu Zixuan chuckled, "We really will be staying in Ghost Wood City for a while. First, to make Sure-Me Lingerie a big brand, and second... I also need to search for one of the Seven-Star Tombs. This task won't be accomplished overnight."

"I remember you mentioning the Seven-Star Tombs before. It seemed to be related to your mentor, but you've never talked about your mentor before!" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

Her...

Liu Zixuan couldn't help but picture the fairy-like face and enchanting figure of his beautiful mentor in his mind.

With a smile, he said, "She... resembles you a bit."

"Resembles me?" Liu Ruyan was surprised.

"Yeah, you look somewhat similar. In terms of beauty, you're both on par."

"Liu Zixuan!" Liu Ruyan crossed her arms and asked with a playful smile, "If your mentor is so beautiful, didn't you ever have... any other thoughts during the time you spent together?"

"Of course I did! But that brat was tougher than me back then. One word from me, and she'd hit me. But now, she probably wouldn't be a match for me. Next time we meet, I'd definitely spank her." Liu Zixuan said with an imaginative look on his face.

It was as if he was already in the scene of spanking his beautiful mentor.

"I'd like to meet your mentor then. Anyone who could subdue you must be quite skilled. I need to learn from her!"

"You better not meet her!"

"Why not?"

"Because you..." Liu Zixuan quickly stopped himself, nearly giving away too much. He remembered that his beautiful mentor expressly forbade revealing her identity to Liu Ruyan.

Moreover, keeping them from meeting was crucial because when leaving the mountain, his beautiful mentor had stated that Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan were not allowed to date.

Now, not only were they dating, but he had made her his main wife!

Should his beautiful mentor find out, no matter how capable Liu Zixuan was, he probably couldn't withstand her furious wrath!

"Because of what?" Liu Ruyan asked in confusion.

"Because you're prettier than her. Imagine, in this world of beauties, no one wants someone prettier to appear, as it can create jealousy."

Liu Zixuan pulled Liu Ruyan to sit down, speaking very seriously, "Let me tell you, even if you do meet my mentor in the future, you should stay far away. If she sees how pretty you are, she might scratch up your face and use her medical skills to make you hideously ugly."

"Is your mentor that vicious?" Liu Ruyan covered her eyes, speaking in fear.
