Chapter 125: Cheng Han's New Home, No Place for a Bed

The bizarre looting incident involving the Cai Ba Group ultimately came to nothing.

The only unlucky ones were the managers of the various vegetable markets.

These people were almost completely wiped out.

Only a few managed to escape.

During the investigation, Cheng Han's ears were almost calloused from hearing the phrase "Cai Ren, damn it".

These managers couldn't figure out why Cai Ren, who had a good position in the Cai Ba Group, would gather people to attack an extraordinary organization.

Of course.

These managers had no idea that Cheng Xuncha, who was constantly in front of them, was the mastermind behind their imprisonment.

The arbitration ruling came down the next day.

Colluding with the Cai Ba Group, abusing power, and other crimes were all punished, with the least guilty manager receiving eight years in prison.

Cheng Han secretly laughed at this.

Although the managers were just small fries, they had a significant impact on the livelihoods of the lower class. Since Cai Ren had stumbled into the trap, Cheng Han took the opportunity to bury these people.

Eating dirty money for too long!

If not you, then who should I deceive?

*

Two days passed in a hurry.

Cheng Han welcomed the day of moving.

The residential property provided by the Black Armor Army after the Ice Charm incident was finally renovated.

He visited once and was quite satisfied.

The total area of the house exceeded 100 square meters, with a large 80-square-meter courtyard at the back, where a new animal shed was built.

Early in the morning, Cheng Han heard a knock on the door.

"Bang! Bang!"

He opened the door and immediately saw Qian Qingqing's beautiful smile.

Qian Qingqing had inquired about the moving date several times and was well aware of it.

Cheng Han was slightly surprised, "Why are you so early?"

It was not even 8 o'clock yet, indeed a bit early.

Qian Qingqing didn't answer, she just gestured, "Let's go!"

Cheng Han was a bit confused, "Where are we going?"

The little girl smiled, "To your new home."

She immediately explained, "The most important thing when moving to a new home is the 'auspicious bed.' It has already been delivered to your doorstep, waiting for you to carry it into the house."

Cheng Han suddenly understood.

"Carrying the auspicious bed into the house" is a traditional custom in this world. The first piece of furniture to be moved into a new home must be the "auspicious bed," and the owner must be the one to carry it across the threshold.

The general public firmly believes that only by doing so can a new home avoid attracting anything strange.

Overall, this is no different from burning incense and worshiping Buddha in another time and space.

Cheng Han naturally knew that the "auspicious bed" mentioned by the little girl was undoubtedly a relocation gift specially given by her family.

With the Qian family's wealth, it was probably a high-end item worth at least one gold coin.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let me..."

Before he could finish his sentence...

He was interrupted.

Qian Qingqing grabbed his right arm and urged, "Stop dawdling, let's go!"

The little girl took the opportunity to hold onto his arm, just like a female companion holding onto a male companion.

Her movements were somewhat stiff, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, indicating that it was her first time treating a boy of the same age like this.

But the little girl held on tightly and showed no intention of letting go.

Cheng Han helplessly said, "Alright."

Qian Qingqing smiled happily, "The sooner we finish moving, the sooner we can move in."

They arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

Qian Yiqing stood in front of the crystal energy car and took the initiative to open the door, assuming the posture of a driver, "Please get in, both of you."

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

Qian, do you have to do this?

He didn't need to deduce it to know that Mrs. Qian must be waiting on the other side of the new home, ready for the housewarming ceremony.

He didn't have to worry about anything, just symbolically lift the housewarming bed.

Sigh!

The debt owed to this family is getting bigger and bigger.

*

Ten minutes later.

They arrived at the new home.

Cheng Han's premonition was confirmed.

The front of the residence was cleaned spotlessly, and an expensive housewarming bed was placed at the entrance.

The door was adorned with a beautiful "Congratulations on the New Home" picture, and eight pots of "Anzai Wood" potted plants, symbolizing "peace in the home," were placed on both sides.

Six strong men in neat uniforms stood quietly beside them, obviously hired movers from the Qian family.

From any angle, this scene could not be described as "undignified."

Mrs. Qian, dressed up, smiled and said, "Cheng Han, you're usually too busy with official duties. As elders, it's our duty to take care of such small matters for you."

Cheng Han sighed inwardly and smiled in response, "Thank you, Auntie."

According to tradition, the housewarming ceremony is usually presided over by the elders. Moving alone does indeed seem a bit desolate in the eyes of others.

Qian Yiqing and his wife took the initiative to take over this matter, which was truly a gesture of goodwill.

Mrs. Qian was a straightforward person and immediately said, "Since everyone is here, let's begin."

Cheng Han nodded, "Okay!"

He took a few steps forward and used the key to open the door.

The couple stood on both sides and slowly pushed open the door together.

This was the first step of the ceremony - inviting the elders to enter.

Qian Qingqing brought over a silver tray with half a basin of clear water, with colorful flower petals floating on the surface.

Cheng Han took a silver spoon and scooped two spoonfuls of water, splashing it onto the floor inside the door.

This was the second step - cleaning the dust and welcoming the master.

Originally, he had a casual attitude towards moving into a new home, but with this set of rituals, a strange sense of belonging suddenly emerged.

"Up!"

With a shout, the six strong men lifted the housewarming bed.

Cheng Han only needed to extend one hand and hold onto the edge of the bed, taking the first step into the door without exerting any effort.

This was the final step - entering the new home.

And thus, this short ceremony came to an end.

At this moment.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door.

A familiar voice came through: "Cheng Han, you didn't even tell us when you moved to a new house. Principal Yan Shan, Principal Jing Long, and I bought you a warding-off-bed."

It was Vice Principal Yan Dongting from the 15th Middle School.

The voice of Gu Jinglong followed: "We came here today for the warding-off ceremony..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Obviously.

The two vice principals finally realized that something seemed off.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

Qian Yiqing and his wife had a subtle expression.

The little girl couldn't help but want to laugh.

Mrs. Qian whispered, "This house has three bedrooms."

Qian Yiqing agreed, "Let's have another ceremony."

Cheng Han sighed, "We can only do that."

He couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart. What is all this about?

*

Ten minutes later.

Cheng Han was even more speechless.

Liu Yidao came with a group of people, carrying the third warding-off bed.

Yan Dongting and Gu Jinglong stood at the door, looking puzzled.

Liu Yidao paused for a moment, quickly reacted, "You've already received a warding-off bed?"

Yan Dongting chuckled, "You're the third one."

Liu Yidao's expression was quite amusing.

Cheng Han let out a long sigh.

I'm just moving to a new house, why do we have to have three ceremonies?

*

Not long after.

Liu Yidao bid farewell and left.

He walked to the entrance of the community and ran into another group of people.

The leader was Vice Director Yu Xianglong from the Inspection Office.

Behind him was a lively young girl.

Liu Yidao recognized her at a glance, she was the beautiful niece of Director Yu.

Liu Shaolong couldn't help but admire Director Yu's move.

Sending a bed and arranging a blind date at the same time, the director sure knows how to play!

Both sides met, staring at each other.

Yu Xianglong had a premonition and asked hesitantly, "Lao Liu, you haven't already sent a warding-off bed, have you?"

Liu Yidao's tone carried a hint of sympathy, "Director, there's no place for another bed in Cheng Han's new house."

All three bedrooms were already occupied, there was simply no room for a fourth bed.

"Ah?"

Yu Xianglong was dumbfounded.

He woke up early specifically for this, but he didn't expect that there would be people who were even earlier than him.

And it was three groups of people, for heaven's sake!

Yu Xianglong stood still for a moment, his face darkened as he waved his hand, "Go back and return the bed!"

Afternoon.

Cheng Han took the little girl and went to the Lingyu Chamber of Commerce to choose a feathered beast.

Since they had already moved to a new house, it was time to buy a dinosaur mount.

A beautiful female sales guide from the chamber enthusiastically introduced, "Mr. Cheng, among all the beast-taming chambers in Qinglin City, our chamber has the highest level of obedience in the feathered beasts we train..."

Cheng Han listened absentmindedly, his gaze scanning the feathered beasts in the animal shed.

Qian Qingqing stole a glance at the sales guide's chest, feeling somewhat envious.

"Ang! Ang!"

The calls of the feathered beasts echoed one after another.

Their intelligence was not low, and they knew that the buyer was here to choose a mount. Their curious eyes looked over, full of curiosity.

The female sales guide chattered for a while before suggesting, "Mr. Cheng, I suggest you choose a gentle female feathered beast. We will provide a three-day riding course for free."

In her eyes, this young man was probably inexperienced in riding feathered beasts.

For such a novice, gentleness was the most important consideration and could also minimize accidents.

Cheng Han blinked his eyes.

In front of the Spirit Control Dark Seal, were there any unruly feathered beasts in the world?

He just wanted to choose a feathered beast with a naturally higher spirituality because the higher the spirituality, the better the effect of the Dark Seal transformation.

Unfortunately, none of the feathered beasts within his line of sight met the requirements.

The sales guide noticed his expression and asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you have any additional requirements for the feathered beasts?"

Cheng Han asked, "Does your chamber have any special feathered beasts?"

The sales guide was a little confused, "When you say 'special,' what specifically do you mean?"

Cheng Han thought for a moment and decided to give a demonstration.

He looked around, his mind connecting to the Source Sensing Seal, and lightly shouted, "Sit!"

His voice contained a strange power.

The sales guide felt her mind go blank and involuntarily bent her knees, wanting to sit down.

Qian Qingqing did the same.

Cheng Han quickly poked their shoulders with two fingers, helping them resist the mental influence.

Within a radius of twenty meters.

More than ten feathered beasts squatted on the ground in unison.

This was the twelfth form of the Nine Elements Strong Body Technique - the Spirit Communication Form.

The so-called "spirit communication" meant understanding spirituality. Specifically, it meant using the mysterious communication on the spiritual level to achieve certain goals.

In fact.

With Cheng Han's strength, it was not difficult to control the targets affected by the Spirit Communication Form.

But he had only started practicing this form a few days ago, so it was exaggerated to achieve such precise control so quickly.

As an example, several patrol leaders in the Sixth Outpost generally took more than a year to master this form.

Cheng Han calmly said, "The feathered beasts that didn't sit down are the special ones."

The sales guide snapped back to reality, looking around the quiet animal shed, her eyes filled with shock.

At the same time, she felt a hint of embarrassment. She had thought the other party was just a rookie, but she didn't expect him to be such a powerful expert.

Qian Qingqing's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.
