The arrival of the Seven-Colored Lamp really caught Ye Xiao off guard, but the joy was overwhelming, not just because there were many beauties in the Seven-Colored Lamp, but mainly because, if they were in Bird City, it would be truly helpful to Ye Xiao. You see, the Seven-Colored Lamp now is different from before—previously, only Wang Luoxin was a Xuan Rank Martial Artist in the Seven-Colored Lamp, but in the month before this, members of the Seven-Colored Lamp had consecutively broken through to Xuan Rank. It could be said that the strength of the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation was continually increasing.

With the current strength of the Seven-Colored Lamp, it can definitely be said that they have a chance to kill Martial Artists below Earth Rank. And if Ye Xiao were to join the Seven-Colored Lamp? The power would at least increase by tenfold.

"Stop being shy now," he said. "Tell me, is there any part of you that I haven't seen? Look on the bright side, a touch, a hug, a cuddle, all of these are perfectly normal. So definitely don't have any thoughts of resistance; that's very bad." Ye Xiao patiently lectured Wang Luoxin.

Listening to Ye Xiao, Wang Luoxin really felt somewhat helpless. Although she wanted to retort, she simply didn't know what to say in response, because what Ye Xiao said was true. Wang Luoxin's body had already been fully exposed to Ye Xiao; if Wang Luoxin was a mystery beauty in front of others, then in front of Ye Xiao, she was utterly bare.

"You've really reached a certain level of shamelessness!" Wang Luoxin gritted her teeth.

Ye Xiao didn't think of that as a derogatory term at all; instead, he immediately smiled proudly and said, "To be praised by Beauty Wang, I am overjoyed."

Wang Luoxin was again at a loss for words. Was she actually complimenting this guy?

"Let's stop the pointless chatter from now on. We didn't plan on returning this time, so see about finding us a place to live," said Wang Luoxin. She knew she could no longer jostle verbally with Ye Xiao because she was completely outmatched. The longer she talked, the more she stood to lose. Who knows what kind of outrageous actions Ye Xiao might take under the broad daylight.

"That's easy," replied Ye Xiao. "The place I'm living now isn't bad at all, you guys can make do for now." He added, "When I win the lottery, I promise I'll buy you guys a hundred-story villa right away."

"Big brother, are there even villas that have a hundred stories?" Wang Luoxin was quite speechless.

Hehe, Ye Xiao chuckled. "That was an exaggeration."

"Don't exaggerate. Your place won't work; we at least need to ensure that we can take showers conveniently," said Wang Luoxin.

Ye Xiao shrugged and spread his hands, "Then, I'm really out of options, as you can see, this is the kind of accommodation I can afford."

"If that's the case, we'll find a place ourselves, but you're paying for the rent," Wang Luoxin decided. She had been hugged by Ye Xiao and indirectly touched; if she didn't make Ye Xiao pay up, she would never forgive herself for the sacrifice.

As soon as Ye Xiao heard he needed to spend money, he immediately said, "I have to pay? Well..."

Seeing Ye Xiao's pained expression, Wang Luoxin couldn't help her frustration. However, she knew that being forceful with Ye Xiao wouldn't work, so she grabbed his arm, looked at him very seriously, and said, "Ye Xiao, you're a man, a man who stands tall between heaven and earth, so do you think your conscience can handle letting us sleep on the streets?"

Upon hearing Wang Luoxin's words, Ye Xiao felt a pang in his heart. How could he let beauties sleep on the streets? Therefore, he steeled his heart and decided.

Ye Xiao, with a serious face, said, "I'll buy you a blanket. I believe it'll definitely be much warmer. Just make sure to find a place with a roof; that way, you can stay dry when it rains."

Wang Luoxin immediately gave in.

Seeing Wang Luoxin looking like a defeated rooster, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Just joking. How about this, let's go with the Tulip District. That's one of the best districts in Jinling District. The seven of you can probably live well with two apartments rented, right?"

"Then it's settled!" Wang Luoxin quickly replied, "Bring the money, 25,200 yuan, round down, 25,000 will do."

"What?" Ye Xiao, frowning, looked at Wang Luoxin, "You're not joking, right? Why is it so expensive? How many places are you planning to rent?"

"Didn't you say two apartments?"

"Do you mean to say renting in the Tulip District costs 12,500 yuan a month?" Ye Xiao said, puzzled.

"Who rents for just one month these days? It's a three-month lease, each month is four thousand two hundred, and this is absolutely not a high price among Bird City's nine top-grade districts."

Listening to Wang Luoxin, Ye Xiao felt like this was some kind of trap. How did she know so precisely the rental prices in the Tulip District? Could she have inquired ahead of time? But how could she have inquired in advance when she wasn't supposed to know he was in Jinling District?

Seeming to discern Ye Xiao's confusion, Wang Luoxin chuckled and said, "Wondering how I know the exact rent for the Tulip District? Hehe, before we came, we had already asked about the housing prices in the best districts across all nine regions of Bird City, and the Tulip District is the best one in Jinling District. Naturally, it was within our inquiry, of course. Initially, we planned to pay ourselves, but now I feel it makes more sense for you to pay."

This was all meticulously planned!

Ye Xiao could only smile wryly, finally understanding the adage 'better to offend a villain than to offend a woman.'

This Wang Luoxin was clearly taking revenge.

Ye Xiao took out his most prized bank card from his pocket and handed it to Wang Luoxin, gritting his teeth and saying, "You're ruthless."

Wang Luoxin, upon seeing Ye Xiao seemed quite displeased, immediately felt a surge of joy inside. With a smug smile, she reached out to pinch Ye Xiao's bank card. However, as soon as her delicate fingers touched Ye Xiao's bank card, her brows knitted together because she could feel her fingertips touching something sticky. Why would the bank card be sticky?

When Wang Luoxin looked down, she realized that this card, which should have been clean, was grimy as if it had been fished out of a garbage bin.

"Are you sure there's money on this?" Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao skeptically.

Ye Xiao immediately responded with grave seriousness, "You can question my integrity, but you can't doubt the authenticity of my bank card. If you're not using it, well, give it back to me."

Seeing Ye Xiao wanting to take it back, Wang Luoxin promptly stuffed the somewhat detested dirty bank card into her down jacket pocket.

"Since I've already agreed, how could I just take it back? Alright, I'm in a good mood today. What did you just say? You're inviting me for breakfast, right? Forget it, let me treat you instead, lunch as well," Wang Luoxin declared, radiating generosity.

However, Ye Xiao didn't show the slightest hint of gratitude because, after all, it was his money.

"I won't bother with the renting. You've already taken care of that, right? Oh, is there a spot for me to live?" Ye Xiao mused to himself, feeling somewhat bitter about spending money and letting them live in a nice place while he had to stay somewhere with bad security.

"If you're willing to add an extra five thousand for living expenses, I might consider it," Wang Luoxin said quite earnestly.

"Big sister, it's my money that paid for the apartment," Ye Xiao reminded her.

But Wang Luoxin replied very seriously, "Ye Xiao, please be clear, you gave this willingly. Once given, it's no longer yours. So, if you want to stay, pay up."

"Don't be so harsh, I haven't done anything terrible to you," Ye Xiao said, now the one feeling helpless.

Seeing the helpless expression on Ye Xiao's face brought immense satisfaction to Wang Luoxin. After all the concessions she had made for him earlier, she had to make the most of this opportunity to squeeze out a little more.

"Alright, since you said so, I'll give you a chance. If you're willing to do some housework, I might consider letting you stay in the apartment where there are more girls," Wang Luoxin said, arching her eyebrows and smiling teasingly.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but swallow hard. If that was the case, maybe there was still room for negotiation.

"Let's do it your way," Ye Xiao said seriously.

"Then it's settled," Wang Luoxin turned to Ye Xiao and added, "Oh, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter, what's the PIN?"

Ye Xiao then shared the bank card's PIN with Wang Luoxin.

With Ye Xiao's bank card PIN in hand, Wang Luoxin's mood instantly brightened, and she quickly took out her phone to call Cheng Yun.

"Cheng Yun, tell everyone to come over. We've got the rent, and this month's living expenses are in," Wang Luoxin cheerfully told Cheng Yun over the phone. Hearing Wang Luoxin's words, Cheng Yun on the other side burst into jubilation.

Listening to Wang Luoxin and the cheers from Cheng Yun over the phone, Ye Xiao couldn't shake the feeling that he had fallen into a trap.

Soon after, all members of the Seven-colored Lamp arrived, each one seeing Ye Xiao and calling out, "Brother Xiao," with a snicker.

Ever since the big battle with Xiong Daoliang in Minghai City, everyone from the Seven-colored Lamp held Ye Xiao in high respect.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Is everyone doing okay? Hey, Little Ziyan, did you miss me?"

"Hey, Brother Xiao, I'm only one year younger than you. Can you stop making it sound like I'm a three-year-old child, please?" Little Ziyan countered immediately, dissatisfied with being called "Little Ziyan" again.

Ye Xiao just chuckled and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Besides, if I don't call you Little Ziyan, what should I teach you, should I call you Little Beauty instead?"

"Big sister, you see? Brother Xiao is teasing me again," Little Ziyan said seriously.

However, her protest simply prompted laughter from everyone else.

Wang Luoxin, encouragingly said, "If he tries to take advantage, just hit him. This guy won't hit a woman; you can fight back with confidence."
