"Ji Shiyou, I never expected you to be this kind of person!
You always put on a show of being aloof, but when it comes to housing, you try to cut corners.
That's not right, even if you were getting a house, you'd be living with Mingyue!
Good boy, do you think you can hog two houses?
I don't care, the one on the mountaintop.
The one with the fierce tiger sculpture, I really like it.
I won't give it to you, even if I'm beaten to death."
Hearing Ji Shiyou's words, Ren Jian's chuunibyou acted up again.
Since he and Ji Shiyou were sworn enemies, as long as he went against Ji Shiyou's wishes,
and made Ji Shiyou unhappy, then he was doing the right thing.
"Get lost, what two houses.
All the houses belong to my family.
Do you think I'm like you, just babbling? I'll revoke your housing eligibility."
Ji Shiyou placed his hand on Ren Jian's head and pushed him aside.
He walked to Mingyue, his face full of pleading.
"Don't worry, I know what you mean, don't rush."
Mingyue's mood had been a bit heavy, but seeing Ji Shiyou's anxious expression,
she couldn't help but smile. All her worries,
were dispelled by Ji Shiyou's childish behavior, and her mood improved.
When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. The worries of tomorrow will be left to tomorrow; let's deal with today's matters first.
"Everyone, there is plenty of housing available now.
The Purple Gold Palace will be vacated and used for other purposes.
For the rest, everyone can choose freely according to their preferences.
Remember, if anyone likes the same place,
discuss it with each other. No disputes are allowed."
If it were the beginning of the apocalypse, Mingyue would definitely have appointed specific personnel to handle this.
Because at that time, human nature was greedy.
But now, Mingyue trusted the more than two thousand survivors,
and also trusted the people of Xuanjie, so she didn't need to worry.
Because in the cruel apocalypse, to survive until now,
their inherent flaws had all been worn away.
Human nature had been sublimated, as if returning to its original simplicity.
And the immigrants from Xuanjie valued freedom and disliked restraint.
They would also not argue with others, so Mingyue only gave a slight reminder.
Then she let everyone choose their preferred places and move in. As Mingyue had expected, the house selection process was calm and orderly.
Whether they were survivors or immigrants from Xuanjie,
none of them chose the mountaintop. They either chose the mountainside or the foot of the mountain.
The people from Xuanjie preferred the bungalows with grey walls and black tiles, and courtyards.
Such courtyards were all concentrated at the foot of the mountain.
As for the survivors, they already regarded Mingyue, Ji Shiyou, and the others
as leaders, and naturally assumed that
the mountaintop should be where Mingyue and the others lived.
So, they willingly chose residences on the mountainside.
Now, on the mountaintop of Tianzhu Peak, besides the Purple Gold Palace in the center,
there were four other buildings. To the east,
was the one Ren Jian had taken a fancy to, the white palace with the fierce tiger sculpture.
It was majestic and imposing, and the plaque above the door read "Flying Bear Palace."
To the west was a purple villa, which looked very cozy.
It resembled a family home in a high-end residential area. A wooden sign hung at the courtyard gate, reading "Mandarin Duck Residence."
To the south was a black and gold bird's nest-like building, covered with flame patterns.
Even from a hundred meters away, one could feel the heat.
At the entrance, on a thick wooden post, three large characters formed by flame patterns read "Fusang Pavilion."
To the north, a tower appeared dreamlike and ethereal.
Upon closer inspection, the light emanated from the walls.
It was built of an unknown material, emitting a cool, moonlight-like glow,
making the entire building appear as if shrouded in moonlight,
complementing the full moon in the sky. On the plaque,
were three seal characters formed by light and shadow: "Qingxu Terrace."
Ren Jian had already occupied the Flying Bear Palace. Flying Bear, a tiger with wings,
he thought it suited him the best. He was afraid others would snatch it from him.
So, before Mingyue had even finished speaking, he stood at the entrance of the Flying Bear Palace,
with his hands on his hips, glaring fiercely at everyone.
To his surprise, no one paid him any attention. Only he liked the Flying Bear Palace.
He Siyi and Ming Yanan entered the Mandarin Duck Residence hand in hand.
Their greatest wish was to live an ordinary, everyday life.
Therefore, the Mandarin Duck Residence was their favorite place, reminding them of their former home.
As for Mingyue and Ji Shiyou, it went without saying.
They naturally chose the Qingxu Terrace, simply because they liked that touch of moonlight.
"Sister, sister, we'll live with you."
Baobao and Baxiu ran over, calling out joyfully.
"Ahem, Baobao, Baxiu!
You are no longer children, you must learn to live on your own.
In the ancient times of the Great Desolation, the Golden Crow rested on the Fusang tree in the East Sea.
The Fusang Pavilion over there is bird's nest-shaped, very suitable for you."
Ji Shiyou pushed Baobao and Baxiu towards the Fusang Pavilion, saying somewhat sheepishly.
He didn't want these two little third wheels to ruin his and Mingyue's private time.
"But I'm not a Golden Crow, I don't want to live in a bird's nest!"
Baxiu shook his head and refused, he still wanted to live with his sister.
"Baxiu, be good. Baobao is still young.
You are the elder brother, you must take care of her."
Ji Shiyou's old face flushed, but he said earnestly.
"Oh!"
Baxiu replied and walked towards the Fusang Pavilion.
He thought that Baobao needed care, but he was confused in his heart.
There was a problem with his brother-in-law's words!
One moment he said they were no longer children and needed to live independently,
the next he said Baobao was still young and needed care. So, were they big or small?
"Wife, no one will disturb us now, let's begin!"
Seeing that everyone had moved into their preferred residences, Tianzhu Peak quieted down.
Ji Shiyou turned to Mingyue, his face filled with excitement.
"So eager, I knew you couldn't hold back."
Mingyue lightly tapped Ji Shiyou's forehead, saying playfully.
Then the two walked towards the now-empty Purple Gold Palace.
"I knew it, you were rushing just now.
You wanted this Purple Gold Palace, didn't you?"
As they entered the Purple Gold Palace, Mingyue closed the palace gate tightly.
With an expression of understanding, she looked at Ji Shiyou.
"My wife understands me best. This Purple Gold Palace is fireproof and cold-proof.
Its defensive capabilities are top-notch, and it has already recognized you as its master.
Without your permission, no one can enter.
Safety is paramount, only here am I at ease.
Let's not talk anymore, shall we begin?"
Ji Shiyou said eagerly, his eyes shining.
"Don't rush, let me prepare!"
Mingyue closed her eyes, concentrated, and then waved her hands repeatedly.
With each wave, a row of bookshelves appeared in the main hall of the Purple Gold Palace.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the entire Purple Gold Palace had transformed into an ocean of books.
Books of various categories were classified as humanities and natural sciences.
Humanities included: Philosophy, Religion, Ethics, Logic, Aesthetics, Psychology, Linguistics.
Literature, Art, Politics, Economics, Military, Law, Education, Sports, Media.
Information, Management, Commerce, History, Archaeology.
Ethnicity, Life, Finance, Statistics, Society.
Natural Sciences included: Astronomy, Geography, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mechanics.
Telecommunications, Water Conservancy, Electricity, Textiles, Food, Construction, Mining, Metallurgy, Energy.
Transportation, Aerospace, Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture.
Forestry, Animal Husbandry, Computer Science, Environmental Protection, Information.
In the rear hall, all the hard drives were placed.
After the books were arranged, the two left the Purple Gold Palace.
They found another tall, spacious, and unoccupied building. Mingyue waved her hand.
Countless tools and machinery poured out like a tide.
When they were heading to Xuanjie, they had asked Yue Zan to wait for them for an hour.
In fact, it was to retrieve these items.
Ji Shiyou had spent all the money he earned in that world, not a penny left.
He had purchased books and tools, and stored them in a rented warehouse.
As for those hard drives, Ji Shiyou had used his hacking skills
to copy information that was not publicly disclosed. Coupled with the various books in the Purple Gold Palace,
he had, in effect, replicated all the destroyed history and civilization of the planet Tianlong.
He had actively become an inspector for the Temporal Supervision Department and accompanied Mingyue on missions.
This was precisely to use this opportunity to restore this world.
The destroyed history and civilization, and to bring back machinery and tools.
"Wife, do you know why I was so persistent in
bringing these things back from the past world?"
After storing the items from Mingyue's spatial dimension, they returned to the Qingxu Terrace.
Bathed in the moonlight, Ji Shiyou said softly.
