“I see… if sir is a participant too then I can give you a monthly payment offer. Since the tournament has an unexpected length, you can pay a month in advance. Once the ending date is announced, you can withdraw any excess funds.” The woman explained.

“Very well, I’ll take it.” Lin Mu found the option to be good as that way he wouldn’t waste any extra funds.

“Great! How would you like to pay sir? You can pay in Immortal Stones, or other materials too.” The woman replied.

“I’ll pay with Immortal stones.” Lin Mu said and handed over a bag of them to the woman.

She quickly placed them on the desk and got an automatic count.

“Please come with me, I’ll show you to the courtyard.” The woman said while walking out from the side of the counter.

Lin Mu followed after her and went through a long corridor that ended in a pair of doors. When these doors opened up, Lin Mu was greeted by a vast rock garden that had paths laid out.

“This is our surrounding garden for the courtyards inside.” The woman introduced while bringing Lin Mu thought a long and winding path.

It was clear that the courtyard that Lin Mu had picked was rather distant. Though at the same time it was also one of the best ones in the entire set of courtyards. After walking for about five minutes, they finally reached the chosen courtyard.

“Here it is sir, the Hundred Fruit Courtyard.” The woman gestured towards the large courtyard that was fit for a noble.

The doors opened automatically for them as they walked inside and allowed them to see the beautiful interior. There were six interconnected buildings in the courtyard with each having different functions.

There was the main hall at the center with two bedrooms attached to it. Then there was a Formation Pavilion as well as a pill refinement hall set in two of the buildings. And finally, there was the building that was used as a kitchen as well as a servant quarters.

But the best part of the courtyard was none other than the many fruit trees that were planted in its garden. This was the reason why it was called the Hundred Fruit Courtyard after all.

Lin Mu could see that most of the trees were Spirit Fruit trees, but there were still a handful of Immortal Fruit trees among them too.

‘Makes sense, planting all immortal fruit trees would make the value rise a little too much.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

Still this was good enough for him, as it just meant Little Shrubby will have more things to experiment with.

“I can use all of these fruits right?” Lin Mu asked just in case.

“Of course. As long as you do not cut down the trees, you can take as many fruits as you wish sir.” The woman replied.

“Alright.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

“You can also get the servants to prepare whatever food you wish for. They are well trained in all kinds of dishes. Or if you wish to procure some other services, they can also be called for at once using the servants.” The Woman explained further.

“I don’t need the servants.” Lin Mu said much to her surprised. “I’d like for all servants to be gone from the courtyard while I’m here. I’ll call for them if I need them.” He stated.

The woman seemed a bit confused, but did not question Lin Mu’s choice.

After all, Lin Mu was a paying customer that had rented one of the most expensive courtyards in the Lingering Bamboo Pavilion. His request was basically nothing compared to the other wild requests that several noble quests gave.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“Very well, that shall be done.” The woman responded. “If you wish to call for the servants, you can use this master token.” She handed Lin Mu what looked like a formation plate.

Upon holding the master token, Lin Mu could already sense all of its functions. It controlled all aspects of the Hundred Fruit Courtyard and also functioned as a communication tool for the servants.

“You can also call upon me if you need something greater.” The woman offered with a smile. “I’ll shall not take anymore of your time and leave you to it.” She bid her farewell and left Lin Mu to his devices.

~HUU~

With her gone, Lin Mu took a deep breath, enjoying the fragrance of the fruit flowers.

“Come out, Little Shrubby, Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang.” Lin Mu called out his beasts.

~MEOW~

~HISS~ HISS~

The three beasts seemed to be visibly excited as they looked around the large courtyard. It was large enough for even Little Shrubby to walk around a bit in his full size.

“So many fruits!” it didn’t take long for Little Shrubby to sense the fruit trees.

“You can use them. We just can’t damage the trees.” Lin Mu instructed. “There’s also a kitchen there, so you can look around.”

“Okay~” Little Shrubby replied before going to take a look.

The twins also followed behind him, deciding to take his lead.

Lin Mu looked at this with interest, finding it to be new.

‘Did they decide this in the Sleepscape?’ Lin Mu wondered.

While he knew that Little Shrubby had been teaching the twins’ things, it seemed like they had come to some sort of arrangement now.

Once the three were gone though, Lin Mu thought about another important person.

“Saintess…” Lin Mu called for her.

~SHUA~

This time it didn’t take that long for her to appear. In fact, it felt like she had been waiting for him to call her.

“I got a bigger courtyard this time and it also has a private bedroom. You can take that if you wish.” Lin Mu offered.

“Mmm… very well.” The Saintess agreed before looking in the distance. “This city seems a bit different though.”
