“So that’s Long Kun’s daughter? She doesn’t look all that special to me. Although I’ve got to say, her decision to leave was the right one…” Ling Yun bemused as he saw Long Wu walk away from the scene, shaking her sexy hips as she left.
To Ling Yun, aside from Long Wu’s alluring fragrance and her overbearing makeup, there was nothing especially significant about her or her actions. It had been but an insignificant occurrence that could have happened any other day.
Unlike Ling Yun, Tie Xiaohu had been particularly affected by this incident. Earlier, if Ling Yun had just bashed up the henchmen of the Green Dragon Gang, Tie Xiaohu could have used his past ties with the gang to settle the issue amicably. However, the moment Ling Yun ordered Xiao Meimei to slap Long Wu, things had taken a turn for the worse. The situation had become extremely tense!
Long Wu was Long Kun’s precious daughter. Long Kun himself could not even bear to disagree with her on anything, let alone allow anyone to even touch her. Despite that, Ling Yun had decided to ask Xiao Meimei to slap her twice. When Long Kun hears about this, he would definitely fly into a rage.
Tang Meng tapped Tie Xiaohu on the shoulder and asked softly, “Hey, Tie Xiaohu. Could it be that you’re scared? Or could you be feeling sorry for the girl?”
Tie Xiaohu glared at Tang Meng and replied in a low voice, “When have you seen me scared before? Now scram.”
Tang Meng thought about it for a little bit. Then, he remembered the time when Tie Xiaohu had cowered in front of Ling Yun when he got beaten.
Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei quickly went back to the changing room and put their original clothes on. Following that, Ling Yun immediately bought the two dresses and ordered the shop owner to package the clothes nicely.
At about 11:30 AM, the two beauties finally finished buying all the clothes that they wanted to buy. At this time, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu who were tasked with carrying all the shopping bags appeared to be like human clothing racks! There were so many clothes that even Ling Yun had both his hands full despite originally not having the intention to carry any of the clothes. The number of clothes that they had bought was so great that by the time they had finished shopping, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng had already completed two round trips of dropping their newly bought clothes in the car.
Ling Yun did the math in his head and could not hold back a small wince on his face. The two ladies had spent over 1 million dollars in the span of less than two hours!
This was not the end of it. After shopping for their own clothes, the two ladies continued shopping excitedly for Ling Yun’s new clothes. Looking at their expressions, shopping for Ling Yun’s clothes appeared to please them more than shopping for their own clothes!
Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were powerless to stop them as they could only bring shopping bag after shopping bag to the car before continuing to follow the ladies’ shopping spree.
The two beauties were definitely adept at picking out clothes. Since they were just picking out clothes for one person, their speed was unbelievably fast! Within moments, they had bought everything ranging from suits to underwear to shoes. As long as it caught their eyes, it would be bought immediately. They were on a mission and nobody could stop them.
Ling Yun’s radical body transformation had turned him into a 1.8-metre tall model who weighed about 90 kilograms. To put it simply, the current Ling Yun was basically the perfect wearer for the beautiful clothes in the mall. His frame was definitely ideal for most clothes.
At the start, the ladies would still allow Ling Yun to try the clothes on. However, after that happened a few times, they just decided that he would not need to try any of them on. As long as the design caught their eye and the size looked about right, they would just buy it off the shelf.
At 12:30 PM in the afternoon, the five of them had their hands full with shopping bags of various sizes. The shop owners graciously thanked them for their patronage and spending as they left the shopping complex and headed towards the car.
Ling Yun had spent over two million dollars in that shopping complex within three hours! It would be a wonder if the shop owners did not feel grateful to their group!
The amount which Ling Yun had spent could have been even higher had it not been for the store owners. Sensing that a potential gold mine was in their hands, the shop owners had tried their hardest to ensure that Ling Yun and company would patronize their stores again by providing great discounts to them. If that were not the case, Ling Yun would have had a total expenditure of at least three million today!
Zhuang Meifeng felt amazing after the shopping spree as she had been stuck at home for the past few days. Finally, she could go out and enjoy herself alongside her significant other. Despite shopping for about three hours straight, you could not even find a hint of fatigue on her.
After getting into the car, Zhuang Meifeng hugged Ling Yun and kissed him passionately, ignoring the other people in the car. She was just so thankful for today!
She did not actually care much about money or the things she had bought earlier. All she cared about was Ling Yun and spending time with him!
The five of them eventually found a place to have lunch. At the food stall, Tang Meng received a call from Li Qingchuan. After the call ended, Tang Meng excitedly told Ling Yun, “Boss, Brother Chuan’s done it! We can get those two villas at half price. All we need to do is go over personally to sign the documents.”
Ling Yun was rather stunned at Tang Meng’s words and asked, “Half price? Really?”
Tang Meng could not contain his excitement. He enthused, “Yup! Half price!”
Ling Yun felt extremely satisfied. He thought to himself, That Li Qingchuan’s pretty good, ain’t he! But to get the villas at half price? Wow… Just wow… I definitely didn’t save his life that time for nothing!
As buying the villas was a matter of great significance, Ling Yun had to go down personally to take a look at them himself. It was for good reason too, as it was a deal involving tens of millions of dollars.
Ling Yun thought of calling Ning Lingyu to ask her to come along to view and choose the house. However, after much deliberation, he decided not to do so as he feared it would interrupt Ning Lingyu’s study time. He feared that Ning Lingyu would also find out that he would be skipping his classes to check out the houses. If she found out, she would definitely fly into a rage.
Because their afternoon schedule was packed, the five of them quickly finished up their lunch and proceeded on to the Qingxi Villa District.
On the way, Tang Meng excitedly introduced the area to Ling Yun. He excitedly proclaimed, “Boss, Qingxi Villa District is made up of four districts. The one which Little Ning stays in is district one, where the houses there have a retro feel due to them being built over six or seven years ago. If we are going to buy a villa, I recommend those in district four, where the villas were newly built just last year. How about it, Boss?”
Ling Yun nodded in approval and said, “All right, that will be the plan. Let’s head over to district four.”
As they reached district four, Ling Yun got off the car to examine the area. It was love at first sight for him as he was deeply impressed by the area.
The place they were at was three kilometers away from Miracle Doctor Xue’s place and was surrounded by clear lakes. The surrounding nature was a magnificent sight. All the villas were facing the south side and were rather isolated, being about three hundred meters from the adjacent unit at least. That gave each unit great privacy.
However, all of the above was unimportant to Ling Yun. What he really cared about was the fact that the villa was extremely close to Qingshui Old Antique Trading Market! According to Ling Yun’s calculations, the distance from Qingshui Old Antique Trading Market to the place they were at now was less than three kilometers! This would greatly convenience him when it came to cultivation in the future!
Tang Meng added, “Boss, there are a total of eighteen villas in this district. You and Sister-in-law can take your time choosing! As long as the villa you choose has no current occupants, you can go ahead and buy it!”
Ling Yun told Tang Meng to drive him around the district so he could evaluate his choices. He was quickly attracted by a unit by a large, clear lake. It could be said that the unit that caught his eye was the largest in the whole of district four!
The villa was predominantly white and it had an eye-catching red-tiled roof. It was surrounded by trees and flowers around the area while seated on an elevated patch of ground. The flora around the villa gave it an appearance of a miniature park. To put it simply, it looked elegant and classy.
In front of the villa was a large gourd-shaped swimming pool which was about four hundred square meters large. The clear water allowed one to see down to the bottom. In the clear weather, as the wind gently blew on the water surface, the pool looked like a piece of art. One could not help but feel like taking a dip inside. According to Ling Yun’s senses that he had gained from reaching the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Level Three, he knew that aside from the flora and fauna being obvious benefits to the villa, it was also extremely quiet in the area. Without a second of hesitation, Ling Yun exclaimed, “I’ll take this one!”
He looked at Zhuang Meifeng and asked sheepishly, “How about it? What do you think of this?”
Zhuang Meifeng could not contain her excitement as she replied, “I love it! It’s gorgeous!”
After choosing, the five of them did not stay for any longer and immediately headed for the agent’s place to get the paperwork done. Although the villa was still eighteen million dollars after the fifty percent discount, Ling Yun did not hesitate to sign on the dotted line.
“Sir, you indeed have great taste. This is district four’s number one villa. Many prospective customers have inquired about it before, but due to it being out of their budget, a deal could not be struck. I would have never thought it would be sold for such a low price today!” The agent bemused.
“This villa is among the most lavish in the whole of the country. It totals four thousand eight hundred square meters and is located right next to the lake. The apartment itself is a thousand and three hundred square meters big and has an open-air pool outside. There is also a swimming pool located indoors, along with a gym and a very large private greenhouse garden. It is furnished with the highest grade of furniture and features as well. The amenities are all-encompassing to cater to all your needs. In the whole of Qingshui, it only loses in size to the few units around Qingshui Wharf. As for all the other aspects, our villa has no equal.” The agent explained thoroughly.
He then further added, “Furthermore, we have a dedicated team of cleaners who clean the villa every day. If you would like to move in today, feel free to do so as we have already prepared the villa to be in top condition for any prospective buyer to move in immediately.”
The property agent could not stop gushing about the villa and its positives during the contract signing. Ling Yun signed on the dotted line and transferred the cash from his account.
Following that, he received the keys to the villa. He looked at the keys, then Tang Meng. He then said cheekily, “See, what did I tell you? I managed to buy a villa before the examinations started, didn’t I?”
Tang Meng was at a loss for words. He was so excited about Ling Yun’s purchase that he would probably not be as excited if he were the one buying the villa at that point!
“Boss, shall we enter the villa to take a look?” Tang Meng asked, unable to hide his excitement.
Ling Yun gave him a small smile and said, “We’ve already bought it. What’s the rush? Come, let’s go to Qingshui Wharf and buy another.”
The five of them got onto the car and moved off once again. After forty minutes, they reached Qingshui Wharf’s villa district. This time, they did not go straight to the villas to take a look but rather went straight to the property agent’s office instead.
The villas here had at least one kilometer of distance between each unit. Ling Yun thought that it would be too troublesome to check them out one by one. Hence, he chose to seek the agent’s recommendation instead.
In actual fact, the villas were all similar in construction to each other. The biggest selling point of the villas in this area was the size of the villas. Each of the villas had over eight thousand square meters of area. They were all surrounding mountains and faced the vast sea. Each had a private garden over one thousand five hundred square meters large. They were indeed very vast and beautiful.
As for the other amenities like swimming pools or gyms, they were comparable to those of the Qingshui Villa District’s villas.
These villas allowed for maximum privacy for their owners. Their owners would have their own space to live the life they would like. Very few people passed by the area as well, making it an amazing holiday spot to host a private getaway or holiday.
Following the property agent’s recommendation, Ling Yun and Zhuang Meifeng selected a villa worth fifty million dollars and bought it on the spot. Ling Yun immediately signed on the dotted line and transferred the money to the agent.
As he received the keys to the villa, he peered out of the property agent’s office’s window. The radiant sun shined beautifully on the sea in front of him, creating a majestic view. He then said in a satisfactory tone, “So this is what it feels like to have spring flowers bloom while facing the ocean?”
