The next day, as promised, the staff member arrived at the tavern—which had just opened for business—bringing along the leader of Millishion's renovation team.
When the landlady heard it was the renovation team for the houses Dan Feng and the others had bought, she immediately went upstairs to wake everyone.
Last night, she had unexpectedly learned that both couples had purchased properties in Millishion.
Deep down, she also wanted to buy a dedicated house to live in. The funds she had accumulated over many years of running the tavern were more than enough. Yet she still hesitated.
She was worried that if her daughter suddenly returned to visit and she wasn't there to greet her right away, how regrettable that would be.
She missed her daughter terribly. If Lifa came back with her husband, the landlady would definitely give him a good scolding.
Mayibeia and Galdaruf seemed to have barely slept all night—their dark circles were unusually heavy. Perhaps it was due to the overwhelming excitement of buying a new home.
In contrast, Roxy and Dan Feng had slept especially well. Only when the landlady came to wake them did the two slowly stir awake.
After Dan Feng and Roxy finished washing up and came down from the second floor together, the staff member from yesterday immediately recognized her major client, Dan Feng.
She sprang up from her chair and rushed toward Dan Feng like an arrow.
"Good morning, Mr. Dan Feng!" the staff member said with a beaming smile, full of enthusiasm. "This is the most renowned renovation master in the Holy Country of Millis. From now on, he will lead his professional team in carefully crafting the renovation plans for your two mansions."
Since the two mansions were so expensive, the renovation team was provided free of charge by the sales agency. This meant that any renovation plans proposed from here on would incur no additional costs.
Dan Feng gave a slight nod to show he understood, then swept his calm, water-like gaze over Galdaruf and Mayibeia.
"Let's go," Dan Feng said simply to the two of them. Without hesitation, he took Roxy's hand and walked with the staff member toward the residential district.
Along the way, the staff member enthusiastically introduced the renovation team leader to everyone.
It turned out this leader was responsible every year for the maintenance and repairs of the Millis Church. He and his team had transformed the church into something breathtakingly beautiful, shining like the sun in the sky.
Judging from his skill level, he was clearly one of the best in the industry.
However, the staff member did not reveal the leader's specific name to Dan Feng and the others, apparently feeling it wasn't important information.
Still, this did not affect everyone's recognition of his professional ability.
Before long, the group arrived at the slightly smaller mansion.
The main purpose of their visit today was to finalize the renovation style and specific plans.
After all, these mansions had a history of a hundred years. The walls and other structural elements were already quite worn down.
Since the sales agency had already sold the houses, they naturally had the responsibility to restore them to new condition so the buyers could move in satisfied.
Until the renovations were complete, this staff member would continue to follow the renovation team closely—that was her current job.
Here, she also had the chance to meet the other members of the renovation team.
There were quite a few people—after all, renovating two mansions was no small project.
Next, Galdaruf and Mayibeia explained their ideas and requirements to the team leader.
The leader listened attentively while silently noting down every detail they mentioned.
After the two finished speaking, the leader accurately repeated their requests to his subordinates.
Immediately afterward, a large group of people quickly left the room. Not long later, they came filing back in carrying massive amounts of renovation materials.
Clearly, these materials had been stored nearby—otherwise, it would have been impossible to transport so much in such a short time.
The leader turned to face Mayibeia and Galdaruf and said solemnly, "Renovating mansions of this scale is a major undertaking. It is expected to take about half a month to complete everything."
This half-month timeline also included time after renovation for airing out the smell. They would place a special substance inside the houses to dissipate odors—something that Wind Magic alone could not easily remove.
Galdaruf nodded to show he understood.
Afterward, the leader prepared to head to the other mansion to record its renovation style and requirements.
Then they arrived at the future home of Dan Feng and Roxy.
This place was far larger than the previous one—not just by a little. The leader had seen his share of grand projects—he had even renovated the Millis Church—so a mansion of this size didn't faze him. It simply meant a bit more renovation time.
"Please wait a moment. We'll discuss it," Dan Feng said to the renovation team leader. Then he stepped aside with Roxy.
"Roxy, do you have any ideas?" Dan Feng asked for Roxy's opinion. After all, she would be the future lady of the house and naturally had the right to decide on the renovation style. If Roxy wanted, Dan Feng was willing to let her take full control of the design.
"I don't have any particular requirements. This house is so big—as long as the interior feels warm and cozy, that's enough," Roxy replied, sharing her thoughts.
The reason she wanted the house to feel warm and cozy was that in the future, if she and Dan Feng wanted to do the things lovers should do, it would create that happy atmosphere. Even though it would feel the same regardless, adding that extra touch would be perfect.
Of course, by "things lovers should do," she meant cooking together, chatting together, leaning against each other while daydreaming about the future.
Thinking of this, Roxy's mind unconsciously drifted back to her life in the Migurd tribe.
Before she realized she was different from the others, her life had been quite good.
Every night, the whole family would sit around the campfire. She would lie between her mom and dad, gazing up at the twinkling stars in the sky while listening to her parents tell stories about the outside world.
Back then, she had been so eager to experience life beyond the village. But her parents always stopped her, warning that terrible Superd tribespeople outside would eat her if she left.
Recalling this, Roxy unconsciously broke into a gentle smile.
Dan Feng noticed the expression on Roxy's face and felt puzzled. What was Roxy thinking about? Why did she suddenly smile?
So he asked directly, "What are you thinking about?"
"Missing home," Roxy subconsciously answered upon hearing Dan Feng's reassuring voice.
Hearing this, Dan Feng thought for a moment. "Do you want to go back and see?"
Roxy's water-blue eyes lit up at his words, but she still gently refused. "No, it's fine. I was considered an oddity in the Migurd tribe because I couldn't use telepathy. It's pretty boring there."
But Dan Feng keenly noticed the faint expectation in Roxy's eyes and said, "Actually, I'm a little interested in the Demon Continent. I'd also like to meet your parents."
