Chapter 444: 444
Xue Wei was speechless when he saw how proud Lan was of bullying a few mortals, and he could not help but feel that although he was a Deity, these Deity"s were not as ill.u.s.trious as he had expected .
But then he was reminded of Lan"s behavior ever since he met him the first time, and he felt much more at peace . Lan had always been a joker, and it was impossible to understand his train of thought .
Shaking his head, he quickly became resigned to fate . Lan was simply impossible to predict, and he had managed to get them a good home, so why would he cause trouble?
As long as Lan was fine with bullying mortals, Xue Wei had nothing to say . He was, after all, benefitting from it .
Many had entered the city just before Xue Wei, and while they had understood their orders of finding a house, they were slightly lost as they saw the ma.s.sive town which had been remade into an army camp .
They did not know where to go and had gathered inside the city wall, so when they heard Lan"s words, many of them looked at Xue Wei with jealousy .
However, this was not the first time, nor the last time, that they would be looked at with jealous eyes, so none of them acted on it .
"Lead the way then," Xue Wei said with a smile on his face . "We got to see what kind of mansion our good friend has prepared for us . "
Lan knew that he was being mocked, but he did not care, and just shrugged his shoulders, before he made a dramatic gesture where he spread his arms and said arrogantly, "follow me young ones, and I will show you that we can live like kings while being in this army camp!"
Xue Wei could not help but laugh out loud when he saw the dramatic gestures and heard the exaggerated words .
Lan was like a breath of fresh air, and when Xue Wei was around him, he was much like a typical youth .
He was carefree and laughed out loud from such antics, and he could not wipe the smile off his face as he shook his head .
It was not only Xue Wei who found Lan hilarious . All his friends, and the even people who walked past them randomly, could not help but smile when they heard Lan"s words .
The ones who did not know Lan could not help but laugh out at his naivety . To live like kings in the main military camp was simply an impossible dream . Only the most influential experts of the King and Emperor rank had this benefit .
All the King and Emperor experts within the entire Demon Phoenix continent were renowned figures that everyone knew .
This Lan was not known to anyone, so how could he possibly think that he would be treated with the same respect and reverence as the King and Emperor ranked experts?
But many were curious as they followed Xue Wei and his group towards the more upper scale district within the city .
To enter this district, one truly needed guts . If someone entered and caused problems for the residents, not even their ancestors would be able to save them .
But even so, Xue Wei, Lan, Lin Xiao, Hei Gou, Bai Tianyi, and Luoluo all just casually continued forward while chatting amongst themselves . There was no tension in their eyes, no signs of being uncomfortable .
What shocked the people even more, was that when the other residents of the district saw Lan, they did not instantly come to chase them out . Instead, they took a detour!
Could it be that this blue-haired fellow was indeed a hidden expert with a strength that demanded such respect?
Those who had been mocking them earlier suddenly felt their faces burn as if they had been given a slap .
While Lan had not said anything to all the people who had mocked him, he had taken actions to prove his words .
The group walked to the top of a small hill . The mansion on top of the hill overlooked the entire city . Clearly, this was amongst the very best mansions in the whole town .
Xue Wei had to admit that when Lan made a move, it was flawless and fabulous! It truly left everyone stunned and speechless .
"How is it?" Lan asked, his appearance somehow resembling a person who was begging for praise, and Xue Wei could not help but chuckle .
"You worked hard," he said with a smile . He was very pleased with this house .
"Yes, I actually worked quite hard . " Lan suddenly said . "It was d.a.m.n difficult controlling my power . I was so afraid that I would just shatter their skulls if I used a tiny bit of my energy, even my physical body is much stronger than theirs . Even though I only touched them, they ended up severely injured . Sometimes even I am scared of my own strength . "
Hearing Lan"s words made Xue Wei unsure if he should laugh or cry . Even he was afraid of his own power? Well, it made sense that he would be slightly scared of it, because if he lost control, even this world alone would not be enough to withstand his anger .
If he wished for it, he could destroy the world in a single thought . Such strength had transcended common knowledge . No matter how much Xue Wei tried to understand, it was impossible to know precisely how strong Lan actually was .
Like this, they settled in the house . They were not in a hurry to leave it, as Lan had been here for a couple of days already and was able to introduce the situation to them . It was much better than going out and finding out on their own .
