Ye Zheng’s team operated with high efficiency and arrived within 30 minutes. Everything was there, and the entire procedure flowed from soup to nuts. It seemed as though Ye Zheng was afraid that Zhou Kai would go back on his word.

The whole process of the ownership transfer was completed in less than 10 minutes. 300 million was deducted from Zhou Kai’s bank account, but he gained ownership of a villa that spanned half a mountain. Ye Zheng gave the two cars parked in the villa’s garage to him as well.

When all that was done, Ye Zheng chatted for a short while before hastily leaving. His actions would make one think that this painstakingly-built villa was an extremely frightening place.

Soon, only Zhou Kai and Little Leopard Cat were left in the expansive villa.

Little Leopard Cat, who had been silently watching, spoke up. “Big Brother, you’ve been cursed.”

Zhou Kai smiled. “I know.”

Little Leopard Cat’s eyes blinked, but she did not speak.

His tone is very calm. Is Big Brother unafraid of curses?

Zhou Kai started to move house.

A long saber was still in the small courtyard, and he wanted to move it over. It was very inconvenient to bring a saber around. Now, he could practice saber moves every day.

After all, Zhou Kai had activated the ability to execute saber techniques and had even mastered the Saber Qi. He would be letting the ability he had gained go to waste if he did not practice well to make this ability his own.

Other than that, there was also the school stuff.

There was not much, just some clothes and basic necessitates. Such items were insignificant to Zhou Kai, who was now a millionaire. He could simply make a trip down to the shopping mall and obtain new ones.

The most important thing was his identification as a student of the Anyang Institute of Engineering.

However, this was something he did not care much about anyway. In the past, he had been trying to get by even after graduating and entering the working world.

Since he was a millionaire now, what use did he have for a university degree?

Therefore, after thinking things through, Zhou Kai decided not to go to school, as he no longer needed to worry about his living expenses even if he wasn’t working.

Zhou Kai was like an awakened man who had been in a coma. After all, he had no more concerns and had also gained a life goal. He had started to fight for his own future.

By the time he was finished packing, it was evening.

“Alright, this is my home from now on. It’s such a miraculous feeling. One’s mood changes when their environment changes.” Zhou Kai lamented as he stood at the entrance of the ancient building.

Little Leopard Cat said, “Shouldn’t this be our house?”

Zhou Kai paused, looked at her, and smiled mysteriously.

Little Leopard Cat pouted with a displeased look in her eyes.

Zhou Kai ignored her. He arrived at the first story of the ancient building and looked at the three items that sealed evil thoughts within them: a long saber, a comb, and a dried sweet potato.

These were his three test subjects.

The evil thought of the general within the long saber did not need his Exorcism power to be sealed. It had hidden itself away inside the saber and remained silent, most likely feeling frightened due to his Saber Qi.

The enchanting woman within the comb was not easy to communicate with either. However, this was better than the evil thought of the general, for it would react. All he needed to do was beat it up a few times and it should start to listen to him.

The dried sweet potato was the most thick-skinned, but that suited Zhou Kai’s taste the best.

What he wanted from these anomalies was not loyalty but obedience. Only the evil thoughts that were obedient would be considered good in his book!

He removed the Exorcism power enveloping the dried sweet potato, alarming the old man within, who came running out.

The old man immediately knelt down and greeted Zhou Kai respectfully. This act reminded Zhou Kai of the people in ancient dramas.

He did not inquire after the old man’s past, however.

Such things were meaningless anyway. Zhou Kai only wanted the old man to grow stronger so that he could help him become stronger as well. Any evil thoughts that could not accomplish something like this were not good.

Of course, evil thoughts had other uses as well.

Zhou Kai looked at the old man and announced, “I will be living here from now on. Your performance is not bad, and you seem hard-working. I would like to promote you to butler of the Zhou Mansion. What do you think?”

The old man was delighted.

A promotion means that I will no longer have to worry about being evicted one day.

The old man was satisfied.

Being alive means that I can become strong one day, which also means that I will be able to change my fate.

Just you wait. I can’t be killed. Even though I can’t defeat you, I can wear you out. Then, I will consume your soul and occupy your house… Ha ha ha ha…

“I agree. I will do my best and help manage everything in the Zhou Mansion so that you don’t have to worry, my owner.” The old man’s face flushed with excitement.

Zhou Kai was pleased with the old man’s attitude. Then, he removed the Exorcism power enveloping the comb.

Silence.

The enchanting woman was hiding within the comb and refusing to come out.

Zhou Kai’s face sank before he looked at the old man. “Go. Bring that disobedient lass out. Tell her that my patience is limited. If she refuses to obey me, I will burn the comb and kill her.”

The old man hastily nodded and dashed into the comb. The two evil thoughts started to fight quite intensely.

A few moments later, the old man flew out and grieved in pain. “Owner, that lass is really ferocious and is refusing to agree.”

Zhou Kai glared and slapped the comb, causing the Exorcism power to erupt and permeate the object.

The evil thought inside the comb instantly coiled tightly as it weakened.

Zhou Kai started to slap it repeatedly while scolding it. “Refusing to agree? How dare you refuse to agree? I will slap you to death as a warning for others.”

The old man was terrified when he saw Zhou Kai’s savageness and the evil thought inside the comb began to weaken.

This human is extremely scary! He is not human!

He is definitely throwing the book at me to set an example!

I must conceal my true intentions even deeper, or I will end up in a terrible state if I incur his wrath someday.

Only the golden-armored general within the long saber remained unmoved. He squatted in the air and stared ahead.

Before, it had been the illusion of a battlefield. A heroic, ferocious general holding onto a long saber had been leading the army into battle, cutting down everyone standing in his path.

However, at that very moment, a beam of light sliced through space and aimed at the general.

The golden-armored general subconsciously used the blade to block the attack.

The blade of the saber was made from Profound Mutated Metal, so it did not break. However, the force behind the beam of light sent the general flying more than a dozen meters backward. The long saber fell to the ground. Then, the light beam pierced his body. Time froze when the general coughed out blood.

The exact same scene sequence reoccurred a few moments later.

The beam of light was very similar to Zhou Kai’s Saber Qi.

The enchanting woman within the comb could not take it anymore after being slapped by Zhou Kai repeatedly and having her strength reduced by the Exorcism power. She finally flew out of the comb. Her long hair fluttered in the air when she landed on the ground, and she glared at Zhou Kai with a venomous gaze.
