Chapter 16: Arrival (2/2)

The city had a hemispherical energy shield in the sky, powered by the sun, and when the energy was sufficient, it could withstand the full force of a Beast King’s attack.

“I didn’t expect Phoenix City to be so extraordinary. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but there’s also an energy shield above,” Qi Ji exclaimed.

Ruiduo nodded in agreement after hearing Qi Ji’s words.

He naturally knew about the energy shield, and his gaze at Qi Ji was filled with envy.

Ruiduo sighed, “This place is indeed beautiful and rich, but it’s not a place where ordinary people can live. The price of one square meter of housing is equivalent to the price of 100 square meters in an ordinary county. This place is like a paradise, but paradise is not a place where ordinary people can go.”

Miti didn’t have much concept of money, but it was evident from the fact that she spent dozens of Sol to take a bus that cost hundreds of Sol.

She only vaguely knew that Qi Ji had spent a lot of money to bring them to this place.

Her gaze at Qi Ji was filled with guilt, despite her young age.

But she was very understanding and didn’t want Qi Ji to spend money on her and her sister.

Lavi, although only 14 years old, was mature and had a good understanding of things.

She knew that the housing prices in Phoenix City were extremely high, with prices around 1 million Sol per square meter, which meant that to settle in Phoenix City, one would need at least 100 million Sol, not to mention the need to spend a lot of money in other places.

Lavi knew that Qi Ji was also an orphan, and she wondered how much money an orphan could have.

She didn’t want to burden Qi Ji, so she weakly suggested, “Brother, the houses here are too expensive! Even renting is very expensive. Why don’t we go to other cities?”

Seeing Miti and Lavi’s expressions, Qi Ji’s voice suddenly became gentle.

“Lavi, Miti, you two are now my only family in this world. My wish is to make you happy, and in the future, I will be the one to support you.”

After hearing this, Miti and Lavi felt a deep sense of emotion, and they suddenly felt that the world was not as dark as it used to be.

Miti and Lavi felt the warmth of long-lost familial love.

“Lavi, Miti, didn’t I say that I was a young and successful person? I can earn over 100 million Sol in a minute,” Qi Ji said with a smile.

“Don’t mention buying a house in Phoenix City; even buying a villa is easy for me,” Qi Ji added.

Miti happily threw herself into Qi Ji’s arms, her small head tightly pressed against Qi Ji’s left shoulder.

Lavi grasped Qi Ji’s hand with her slender and injured right hand.

Looking at Lavi’s injured hand, Qi Ji felt a pang of heartache.

He now truly considered Lavi and Miti as his own sisters.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of hardships a 14-year-old girl like Lavi must have endured to keep herself and her sister safe.

Qi Ji held Lavi’s hand tightly, and with a determined gaze, he looked at Lavi, who also met his gaze.

Looking at Qi Ji’s gentle, yet deep and profound eyes, she was slightly dazed.

She couldn’t remember the last time she felt such a warm and comforting gaze.

“Lavi, from now on, I will protect your world,” Qi Ji said.

Qi Ji then smiled and looked at Miti, “And Miti.”

Those simple words left a deep impression on Lavi and Miti’s souls.

They felt a sense of happiness and comfort.

Qi Ji’s gaze at that moment would be the greatest comfort for them when they faced difficulties in the future.
