After the construction of JinYu's dream house was completed, the ape construction team ran for the hills the moment they received their one hundred and fifty purple gold coins. The only tasks left on JinYu's checklist were, naturally, to purchase some household essentials for his home and to hang up a store sign. Once done with that, the store would be officially open for business. As such plans arose in JinYu's mind, he was, without a doubt, as happy as a lark.
Under the expectant gazes of the starry-eyed beasts that were acting cute, JinYu commanded spiritedly with a wave of his hands, "Let's go and take a look at our home!"
Howls of a variety of beasts rang out in every direction. BaoZi smiled towards JinYu, elated. At the same time, the boss of the bosses appeared to be pleased too. After a scan around the surrounding, BaoZi sneakily swept his tail by DaBai before charging into the door with a roar.
JinYu's lips curled up speechlessly at the scene of BaoZi, the first to dash into the house, collapsing onto the ground due to the slippery floor and rolling three times before crashing onto the custom-made sandalwood counter with decorative carvings. He yelled in his heart, You idiot!
Before BaoZi could even have the chance to come to its senses from the collision, the other beasts began bolting into the door noisily upon noticing that the door was opened, trampling on the poor BaoZi. JinYu didn't even want to lift his lips at this point when looking at the scene in front of him. He raised his leg straight away, stepping on BaoZi's back as he entered the house.
With that, BaoZi's dream of being the first to lunge into the house shattered into a million pieces. In the end, XiaoBai squatted on DaBai's head as the two of them peered at BaoZi with a mix of pity and disdain before meowing out. [Let's see if you will try to be an idiot again...]
Only when XiaoBai walked away in excitement did BaoZi lift its head pitifully and grudgingly at DaBai and howl. [I was telling you all to charge in together!]
DaBai roared. [Well... I think being the first to step inside might be dangerous, so it's best to let some other beast to enter first. See? It really is dangerous, isn't it...?]
Besides, the most important part of the problem was, it was such a disgrace to the beasts! Being the most powerful beast, excluding the Big Boss, out of all of the boss's underlings, DaBai couldn't afford to bring shame to the beasts. Thus, having an idiot nearby was actually rather beneficial.
BaoZi growled in a fury. [You are too despicable! I'm going to sever ties with you! When we were in the rubbish dump, I was the one who dragged you to the shade! If not for me, you would have died from the heat!]
Da Bai replied back. [Which is why I have saved a third of my rations for you in the past few days. Besides, I'll continue doing that in the future; don't you want it?]
BaoZi yowled. [Shit! Of course I do!]
After flashing a scornful glance at BaoZi, DaBai went away as well. Left behind, BaoZi extended its paws to cover his head as it let out a long howl. [Damn it! The beasts I befriend are the worst! I'm going to the boss to ask for pats!]
As every part of the house, be it interior or exterior, was constructed according to JinYu's ideas, the interior's arrangements and simplistic decorations suited his taste very much. As for the beasts, except for the sandalwood counter blocking their way and hindering them from jumping and running with ease, they were immensely satisfied with everything. Even if some of the beasts lived in even larger houses in the past, to them, the home they were currently in had warmth and a sense of security that couldn't be found in any kind of houses. This was enough for them.
The first floor was relatively huge. Apart from the counter at the side, and the antique styled sofa and tea table with an exquisite tea set on it at the centre, the house was utterly empty. JinYu sat on the soft sofa, stroking XiaoBai with his eyes narrowed. As he lifted his head to gaze at the few antique styled lights on the ceiling, a light smile grew on his face.
