The return journey was much smoother.

Nothing really happened, except for Faur’s complaints. Shortly after they departed, Chen Zhao and Fali disappeared from the rear view mirror and their voices began again.

The whole journey took eight hours. Chen Zhao sent Faur back first.

Then, they went straight to their new home at Mirror Lake.

It was the first time they saw their new home in its complete form, apart from the small saplings that had yet to be fully grown.

When the planted trees were fully grown, half of the villa would be covered, leaving only its top visible. By then, it would look like a white gem among the sea of trees.

When they arrived, there were still people inside putting the finishing touches.

“Mr. Chen, Ms. Fali, hi.”

Felwood approached them and shook their hands.

Then, he led the two into the villa, introducing them to the various areas.

Chen Zhao had to admit that buying the piece of land and building such a villa here was really a wise choice.

The villa fitted perfectly with the environment.

From the master bedroom to the guest rooms, there was glamorous scenery. The rooms faced either the lake or the waterfall.

On the first floor, there was a living room connected to the forecourt, which, situated on the left side of the villa, was connected to the lake and the small dock.

The backyard was huge. Covered with grass, it was enough for all of Chen Zhao’s pets to play on.

On the second floor, there was a master bedroom, a working room, and a bathroom.

The third floor had three guest rooms and a living room. All the guest rooms had individual bathrooms.

Above the third floor was the rooftop, which would be an ideal place for one to spend one’s leisure time.

Using the elevator, Felwood brought Chen Zhao and Fali to the garage.

The garage was underground, for otherwise it would destroy the aesthetics of the entire building.

Right above the garage was the swimming pool.

The swimming pool was beside the waterfall. If one were to play in the pool, one would even feel the water vapor blowing from the waterfall.

However, if a rainstorm caused the waterfall to flood, polluted water would easily enter the swimming pool. This was the only drawback.

After every rainstorm, the swimming pool would need to be cleaned, which was nonetheless acceptable.

Considering the climate of Los Angeles, it was unlikely for a rainstorm to occur here. It would probably happen no more than once or twice a year.

“What’s the soonest time we can move in?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Actually you can move in now, but let my workers leave first,” Felwood said. “If you encounter any problems with the quality of the building, you can call me anytime. I’m available 24/7.”

To be honest, Felwood was really grateful to Chen Zhao for giving him his first major project.

In addition, Risfar, Chen Zhao’s friend, even introduced him to other projects.

Because of that, Felwood’s construction company had gotten through the difficult survival period and was on track.

“Sure. Thank you.”

Chen Zhao paid Felwood the remaining amount. Both he and Fali were very satisfied with the villa, which they thought was truly flawless.

Felwood’s workers helped Chen Zhao and Fali to carry some of their luggage into the house.

“Mr. Chen, Ms. Fali, please open all the windows for the next two days, so that fresh air can blow away some of the gases in the building. Of course, we’ve used toxic free and harmless materials and paints, so you shouldn’t be worried about pollution and harmful gases. Every floor also has an air quality monitor, which is connected to the automation system.”

Everyone else left. Only Chen Zhao and Fali were left in the villa.

“Fali, do you want to try our large bed?” Chen Zhao pulled Fali and could not wait to try the super large bed.

“Wait. You promised me that when we move, I’ll see a legendary creature. Where is it?”

“Let’s go to basement one.”

Chen Zhao held Fali’s hand and they went to the basement.

“Where is it?” Fali scanned around but there was nothing.

Chen Zhao pulled Fali to the windows. “Look outside.”

At the moment, the lake water was somewhat dusky. Aquatic grass was swaying in the water and Fali could not see anything clearly.

Suddenly, something flashed past the windows.

Fali was astonished, but she still did not get a good view.

“What was that? A snake?” Fali asked, uncertain.

Chen Zhao knocked on the window. Finally, the thing began to approach them.

It was a snake, but it had nine heads!

It was Little Nine, the Hydra that Chen Zhao had obtained in Hell.

When he first received Little Nine, it was only as long as a finger and definitely less than twenty centimeters.

It had been staying in Blackie’s space crevice since then. Now, it was already more than two meters long and its nine heads were also much bigger. It looked like a small python.

Fali placed her hand on the window, her face filled with bewilderment. “Nine-headed Hydra? I mean… the Hydra in the legends?”

“It’s called Little Nine, my pet.”

While Fali was shocked, she was not scared.

After all, having stayed with Chen Zhao for so long, she was already very tough-minded.

Moreover, the Silly Twins could even combine into a two-headed wolf.

Chen Zhao had also warned her in advance. Mentally prepared, Fali was not afraid at all.

Furthermore, Little Nine did not look very fearsome at the moment. In the house, there were a few pets larger than it.

Princess was obviously one of them, weighing over a thousand kilograms. Black-Ma and White-Ma were also over a hundred kilograms heavy.

Obitos had been growing quickly too. He was almost two hundred kilograms heavy, while Walter weighed eighty.

And there was also Raymond. Although Raymond was not a python, he had also grown from a small, colorful snake into an enormous one. At the moment, he was two meters long.

“What does it eat?”

“Snakes.”

“Snakes? It eats its own kind?”

“Actually it eats everything, but snakes are its favorite. The more poisonous the snakes are, the more it likes them.”

“Is it stronger than Raymond?” Fali asked another weird question. Perhaps she was worried that Raymond would be eaten by it.

“Raymond is stronger, but it’s rarer.”

“Who is smarter?”

“Raymond,” Chen Zhao said. “The cleverest ones we have are Beelzebub, Raymond and Carrie. They can understand whatever you tell them. Black-Ma and White-Ma are idiots, but they can also understand most things. And then Obitos and Samuel. Obitos is a kid, so he is really mischievous.”

“Samuel is small too, right?”

“Samuel is quite special. He should be very clever, but he just isn’t.” Chen Zhao said.

“How about Walter and Princess? And Briar, Bramble, Simba and Nala?”

“Water and Princess should be about as clever as Little Nine. They can understand most of your commands, such as taking a bottle of wine for you, but they may not understand why you asked them to do that.”

“Briar, Bramble, Simba and Nala are still ordinary animals now. I don’t plan to develop their intelligence yet. Maybe when they’re older.”
