Chapter 175 - Chapter 175: Preparations Before Moving In

After returning from the Demon Continent, time passed quickly. The renovation of Dan Feng and Roxy's house was nearing its end, with only the final touches remaining.

This meant they were about to begin a brand-new life, so the two decided to head out together to the streets of Millishion to purchase the items needed for their new home.

Before setting out, Dan Feng and Roxy carefully made a detailed shopping list.

The list was densely packed with all sorts of items, ranging from daily necessities to home decorations—everything was included.

Among them, quilts, bedsheets, pillows, and the like were indispensable for the new house; they would add warmth and comfort to this new living space.

To better prepare for this shopping trip, Roxy also specially organized her storage scroll.

She sorted out some of the bulkier items that wouldn't be needed for the time being and placed them in the tavern's storage room.

To her surprise, there were so many such items that they nearly filled the small storage room to bursting.

Once everything was ready, Dan Feng and Roxy set off on their shopping trip full of enthusiasm.

They had originally planned to invite Mayibeia and Galdaruf to come along, but they found that the two had disappeared somewhere and couldn't be located no matter how hard they looked.

Though a bit puzzled, this didn't affect Dan Feng and Roxy's good mood. They still headed to the streets of Millishion with full anticipation, beginning their shopping journey.

Since the residents on this street were quite familiar with Dan Feng—and had also had some contact with Mayibeia—their views on demons were almost identical to the landlady's.

However, a few shops were exceptions; those shopkeepers were devout followers of the Millis faith through and through.

Dan Feng and Roxy decided to do their shopping on this street. Their first target was bedding supplies.

Thus, the two unhesitatingly entered a shop specializing in quilts and pillows and began conversing with the owner to inquire about the details.

After some discussion, Dan Feng and Roxy didn't haggle excessively with the shopkeeper. Instead, they decisively purchased six or seven sets of quilts, pillows, and similar items.

Roxy quickly stored these things into her storage scroll, then headed with Dan Feng to the next shop.

As for things like tableware, there was absolutely no need to buy them.

After all, earth magic could easily create all sorts of pots, pans, bowls, and plates—and their quality was far sturdier than what these shops sold, plus they could be customized in appearance.

The rest of the shopping trip was somewhat uneventful until they arrived at a shop specializing in custom curtains.

This shop appeared rather quiet, forming a stark contrast with the bustling shops around it.

Perhaps because so few people came to custom-order curtains on ordinary days, business was unusually poor.

However, when the shop owner saw that customers had actually arrived, an enthusiastic smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurried over to greet them.

This shop owner was a follower of the Millis faith, but at that moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten his beliefs—his eyes held only the desire to make money.

After all, in the face of real-life pressures, faith often appeared so fragile.

He didn't even care that Roxy beside him might belong to the demon race; his only thought was to close this deal quickly, or else he'd go hungry.

Dan Feng, of course, also knew this shop owner was a Millis believer, but curtain shops in Millishion were pitifully few, and the others were scattered in different directions. For the sake of convenience, they still chose this one.

"May I ask what style of curtains the two of you would like to custom-order?" Upon seeing that the visitors included the rather well-known Dan Feng in this area, the shop owner's attitude became even more obsequious.

Seeing this, Dan Feng detailed the style and quantity of curtains they needed: "We need cozy-style curtains, preferably in warm colors."

Hearing Dan Feng's request, the owner couldn't help but feel delighted inside—Dan Feng and the others needed quite a large number of curtains, which was definitely a big order for him!

He didn't dare slack off in the slightest. He quickly picked up the quill pen on the table and carefully recorded Dan Feng's requirements in the small notebook he carried with him.

Dan Feng had mentioned wanting warm-colored curtains. Curtains in such colors were not only resistant to showing dirt but also gave a sense of warmth—perfectly suited to Dan Feng and Roxy's residence.

After recording the requirements, the owner looked at Dan Feng with full anticipation, waiting for his next instructions.

Dan Feng didn't keep the owner waiting long. He told the owner the location of their new home and unhesitatingly paid the deposit.

With everything arranged properly, Dan Feng and Roxy left the shop feeling fully satisfied.

By now, almost all the items on the list had been purchased. They only needed to wait for the new house renovation to be completed, and then they could move in.

Next, Dan Feng and Roxy decided to head to the Millishion Adventurers' Guild headquarters.

They had an important commission to post: cleaning the new house.

After all, a freshly renovated house was bound to be very dirty and messy. Dan Feng and Roxy had no intention of personally cleaning up all that dust and construction debris.

For a task like the first cleaning of a room, they felt it was better to leave it to professionals.

Thus, they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild headquarters, hoping to find suitable people to complete this commission.

Originally, Dan Feng had planned to use Cloud Chant to clean it himself—after all, his mastery of Cloud Chant had now reached a level as effortless as drinking water.

However, considering the possibility of unexpected situations, he ultimately decided to abandon that idea.

The moment Dan Feng stepped through the doors of the Adventurers' Guild, he immediately became the center of attention.

The other adventurers swarmed toward the commission board like a disturbed hive of bees, frantically scrambling to pick tasks that suited them, afraid that Dan Feng would snatch away the good commissions.

"Why are there suddenly so many people here picking up commissions today?" Dan Feng couldn't help but remark.

Still, he didn't pay it much mind. Instead, he headed straight for the guild's front desk with Roxy in tow.

At the counter, Dan Feng informed the staff of his intention to post a commission.

The staff member clearly knew who Dan Feng was. She quickly pulled out a commission form from a drawer and handed it to him to fill in the relevant information.

Dan Feng carefully looked over the form, then took the pen the staff member offered and began filling it out.

He set the commission time for the morning two days later, with a reward of one Millis gold coin.

As for the number of people, he requested at least five or more—after all, their residence was quite large, and this would definitely be a major undertaking.
