Zhou Kai was not happy that he would be buying the villa for half the asking price. Instead, he was suspicious.

No one would be dumb enough to spend 600 million building a house to sell it for only 300 million.

In addition, Zhou Kai was a little curious.

Based on Anyang City’s real estate value, 600 million would be enough to cover the cost of constructing two 20-story office buildings. Just how rich was this guy to be able to be so extravagant?

Plus, he had ended up in such a state that he now had to sell the house at a really cheap price!

Zhou Kai fell silent, and Ye Zheng did not speak either.

The Maserati sped by and arrived at the southern slope of Mount Hong within 30 minutes.

The southern slope of Mount Hong extended to the south-western side of Anyang. It was more than 200 meters tall and it was flourishing with greenery.

A river branched out from the left. In Feng Shui terms, this was a very valuable location with picturesque scenery.

Logically, this was the kind of place any businessman would want a part of. It could be a very profitable business.

However, there were no buildings anywhere nearby.

There was definitely something wrong with this place.

A moment later, they arrived at the villa Ye Zheng had mentioned after following the man-made mountain path.

Zhou Kai took a glance at it and was rendered speechless.

There is indeed a building, but why did you describe a temple as a villa? Are you blind, or are you messing with me?

That was right. It was a temple.

The gate was made of red bricks and blue tiles, the roof arched beautifully, and two stone lions were guarding the entrance. There was even a plaque with the words “Red Moon Palace” written on it.

Ye Zheng approached the door, which automatically opened electronically. Zhou Kai could not help but say, “Brother Xiong, is this the villa you were speaking of?”

Ye Zheng said calmly, “Calm down. Enter it and you will receive your answer.”

Ye Zheng drove the car in and the scenery inside changed immediately.

Paths branched out from the spacious courtyard, the vegetation was arranged aesthetically, and there was even a small channel with flowing water and swimming fish.

There was a three-story villa located inside.

The exterior of the villa looked vintage and featured carved, painted pillars. Many parts had been built using wooden logs, giving it a very refreshing vibe.

Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.

This is f*cking impressive. 600 million? I believe it now.

Ye Zheng parked the car in a parking lot.

There were two other cars parked in the parking lot. One of them was a BMW SUV, while the other was a Mercedes-Benz.

When the car and its engine stopped, Ye Zheng smiled and said, “I will take you on a tour. I promise that you will like this place after the tour.”

Zhou Kai already liked it without even having to take a look at it first.

After alighting from the car, Ye Zheng introduced the place as they walked. “Firstly, this location was specifically chosen. There were originally three locations in total, but my fiancée liked this place. Although this place is quite small, I hired some people to excavate a portion of the slop in order to accommodate the original plan and even transported calcareous rocks here to use them as a foundation. That cost me nearly a billion.”

When he heard that, Zhou Kai’s eyes flickered and he inquired, “Brother Xiong, did your fiancée choose this location?”

Ye Zheng nodded. “Yes. I wouldn’t have bothered putting in so much effort if she had not made such a request herself.”

Zhou Kai asked, “In that case, why do you want to sell it off so cheaply? Did your fiancée agree to it?”

Ye Zheng shook his head and sighed. “I can’t explain to you what really happened because you most likely wouldn’t believe me even if I did. I can only say that it was bad luck.”

Zhou Kai was speechless.

It seemed that Ye Zheng’s fiancée was not a simple person. Based on the exterior of this building, could she be a cultivator?

Zhou Kai mulled it over but did not ask about it out loud.

He only wanted the house. He was not concerned about the private affairs of other people.

Zhou Kai and Little Leopard Cat followed Ye Zheng’s directions and toured the main building.

Zhou Kai’s horizons were broadened, as he felt a deep sense of respect for architects.

The three-story building was truly a miraculous piece of architecture! Everything was really convenient, and its modernity and vintage look complemented each other well.

All decorations, furniture, and facilities within the villa itself were complete and present. What surprised Zhou Kai was the huge room filled with books that he saw.

No, calling it a library would be more accurate. The books there seemed to all be classics or ancient tomes.

Everything one could possibly need was there.

A swimming pool, a garden, and a basketball court were located behind the villa, giving it a more modernized look. The vintage theme was not ruined, however.

At the end of the tour, Zhou Kai looked at Ye Zheng and asked seriously, “Are you sure that you want to sell this place to me for 300 million?”

Ye Zheng chuckled and replied, “I’ve already brought you here. I’m telling the truth. If you agree to this deal, I can call the whole team over and finish the ownership transfer on the spot. Everything inside the villa will belong to you. However, you need to agree to a request of mine if you wish to purchase this villa.”

Zhou Kai raised his brows.

This request was most likely the most important factor.

“Speak,” Zhou Kai said calmly.

Ye Zheng took a piece of jade out of his breast pocket. “I would like you to hold onto this and swear upon your real name that our deal is complete and we owe each other nothing.”

Zhou Kai looked at the piece of jade.

It was a milky-white, shiny, beautiful piece of jade with flower engravings on it.

He looked at it and then looked back at Ye Zheng, who looked very calm. Nothing seemed to be amiss.

However, there was definitely something wrong with this piece of jade and what Ye Zheng had said.

Zhou Kai fell silent for a short while before chuckling. “No problem. It is expected of me since I’m actually taking huge advantage of you.”

Then, he took the piece of white jade.

It was slightly cool to the touch, and there seemed to be inexplicable warmth within the jade.

Zhou Kai announced, “The deal between me, Zhou Kai, and Ye Zheng is complete. Payment has been delivered and the villa now belongs to me. All scores have been settled.”

When he completed that declaration, Zhou Kai instantly felt the white jade flare and a gush of cool air entered his meridian through his palm.

At the same time, a delighted look flashed across Ye Zheng’s eyes. He had looked calm before but he was actually secretly nervous.

Then, he said, “Wait a while. I will call someone over to take care of the proceedings.” As soon as he said that, he took out his phone, walked some distance away, and called a number. With his back facing Zhou Kai, he looked at his arm. There had originally been a twisted picture of a spirit’s face on his pale skin.

This picture was currently slowly disappearing.

His face turned red from excitement when he saw this.

Zhou Kai was also looking at his own arm.

After he made that oath, the cool air of the white jade entered his arm and transformed into a light green spirit’s face on his skin.

This cool air was very weak, and he felt no pain when the picture formed. Zhou Kai would not have noticed it if he had not been paying attention in the first place.

However, Zhou Kai saw the picture and smiled mysteriously.

He controlled the Exorcism power and made it spread throughout his arm.

The moment it made contact, the picture of the spirit’s face acted as though it had encountered its natural enemy and started to move. The Exorcism power chased after the picture all over the arm, making it seem like the picture had to leave his arm.

Zhou Kai even had the feeling that he could destroy the picture if he wanted.

He could not understand why Ye Zheng would actually sell an extravagant villa so cheaply because of this item.
