Chapter 178: Ready to Purchase Some Villas
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Xuan Qi a.k.a. Xiao Meimei, along with Xuan Jiu and the six other killers, would never have dreamt that Ling Yun would conquer them in less than an hour even after meticulous planning. He had taken Xuan Jiu’s life and 50 million dollars from the seven of them and she herself was trapped in his arms, on the way to Qingshui City.
The front of her leather s.h.i.+rt was ripped to shreds and her chest was tightly pressed against Ling Yun’s chest. Her left breast was still hurting badly even after Ling Yun had healed her internal wounds. However, to a killer like Xiao Meimei, she would do anything, including sleeping with the target, to complete her mission. Hence, being hugged by Ling Yun did not affect her as her nerves were totally numb after having killed 39 people.
“Are you unwilling?” Ling Yun was sprinting at the speed of light but he was still able to talk to her.
“Nope. We are a.s.sa.s.sins and we go between life and death every single day of our lives. If we succeed, we get to live and enjoy another day. If we fail, we don’t. There’s nothing to be unwilling or upset about,” Xiao Meimei replied truthfully. For people that face death every day, things like money are not important but being able to live is the most important thing. If they die, they lose everything.
“You did well just now. As long as you listen to me, I will help you become ten or a hundred times stronger than you are now!” Ling Yun said. Xiao Meimei nodded in reply. Eight minutes later, he stepped into his yard which was brightly lit, proving that Zhuang Meifeng was still awake.
“Umm…I’m home.” Ling Yun called out as he pushed open the door. Zhuang Meifeng ran out excitedly, clad in pajamas before suddenly stopping. This…this is too unbelievable! Does Ling Yun bring a female home every night?!
Ling Yun casually placed Xiao Meimei down and Zhuang Meifeng became instantly shy as she spotted the bare chest of Xiao Meimei.
“Ling Yun, where…where did you go? Why did you bring another woman back? Ah, she’s bleeding. What…what is happening?”
Ling Yun used one sentence to answer all her questions, “She’s a killer sent by the a.s.sa.s.sins Organization to kill me!”
“What?!” Zhuang Meifeng cried out in shock, her hand covering her mouth. She was blank for a moment before grabbing Ling Yun’s elbow to give him a once-over. Seeing that he was unhurt, she frightfully asked, “You…you are alright? Don’t scare me!”
Ling Yun immediately softened at the sight of her worry and gently caressed her body while saying, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. But she’s not.”
At this point, Zhuang Meifeng stared harshly at Xiao Meimei without being affected by her naked body as she said, “Hmm, Dear, why did you bring her back if she tried to kill you?”
Ling Yun touched Zhuang Meifeng’s waist and dragged her to the sofa while speaking to the silent Xiao Meimei, “From now on, she is your owner too. Her words are no different from mine, understood?” Xiao Meimei sighed and felt utterly embarra.s.sed and upset that she had ended up being a maid to a commoner even though she was highly ranked. However, living was still better than dying.
Then, she heard Ling Yun continue saying, “From now on, you are in charge of her safety. If anyone hurts even a strand of her hair, I will cut off your finger, did you hear me?” Among those around him, Zhuang Meifeng was in the most danger, so having Xiao Meimei around would reduce his burden greatly.
“Your people, do they know of this place?” Ling Yun asked and Xiao Meimei shook her head quickly in response. Ling Yun was certain that no one knew as he had only moved here for two days and had taken extreme measures. Furthermore, he moved quickly when exiting the house so anyone that followed him here would definitely be discovered.
“Alright, go and clean yourself up in the toilet.” He then s.h.i.+fted his attention to Zhuang Meifeng. “Sister Meifeng, look. She has no clothes, so help to get her a s.h.i.+rt, okay?”
Zhuang Meifeng twisted her slender body as she threw a small tantrum. “Call me wife.”
Ling Yun could only shake his head in defeat. “Okay, wife, will you go and get her a s.h.i.+rt?”
Zhuang Meifeng flutters her eyelash at him and replied, “Of course I will. If not, you would be looking at her!” With that, she stood up and grabbed a bra and blouse from the bedroom while shouting towards the bathroom, “You’re not allowed to use the bathtub!”
After pa.s.sing the things to Xiao Meimei, she ran to Ling Yun and jumped into his embrace. “Hubby, tell me what happened tonight. Were you in any danger?”
Ling Yun replied proudly, “Of course!” Then, he recounted the night with exaggeration which scared Zhuang Meifeng so much that she grabbed on to her own chest tightly with her small hands.
But then, Zhuang Meifeng instantly jumped out of Ling Yun’s embrace the moment she heard about the 50 million dollars. “50 million dollars?!” She cried in astonishment. This amount was peanuts to the Zhuang Medical Group but it was a big thing for Ling Yun.
Ling Yun chuckled, then lightly pinched Zhuang Meifeng’s dainty nose and said, “I’m thinking about buying two villas in Qingshui City. Is 50 million enough?”
To Ling Yun’s horror, Zhuang Meifeng shook her head.
“Not enough?!” This time, it was Ling Yun’s turn to be speechless.
Zhuang Meifeng rolled her eyes, “Hubby, it depends on how big the house is. There are a few good villas in Qingshui City but they are all independent and are not in the same area. According to my knowledge, there are a few near Qingshui Bay that are on the market. They cost about 30 million each and just the swimming pool outside the villa is already over 400 square meters!” Zhuang Meifeng was very clear about the market as her father, Zhuang Tiande, loved to buy villas.
Ling Yun was stunned and wondered why anyone would pay so much for one house. Ling Yun awkwardly scratched his head. “Then…then we will buy one big one at Qingshui Bay and another smaller one at another place, alright?”
Zhuang Meifeng stared at Ling Yun in contemplation and asked, “Who is going to stay in these huge houses?” She knew that her father bought these villas to house his mistresses, hence, she started to become suspicious of Ling Yun.
He replied, “One is for my mom and sister and the other will be for us!” Zhuang Meifeng’s s.e.xy lips curved into a smile as she kissed Ling Yun on the cheeks and said, “That’s better!”
Ling Yun looked at his surroundings and asked, “Tang Meng is the one who bought all these things. Are you satisfied with them?”
“Definitely. Why do you want such a big villa? I feel that it is cozier to live here.”
Ling Yun instantly shook his head in disapproval. “This is rented, which means it belongs to someone else.” Being from Cultivation World, he only stayed here to be nearer to the s.h.i.+chiyou Herb and also because he had no money to buy another place.
“If we are buying a villa, let Tang Meng settle it. Tonight, help me pick a few from the internet and remember that we want the best.” When he said that he wanted to buy a house, he would waste no time. Ling Yun felt so upset every time he thought about his mother staying in that small house.
Zhuang Meifeng cutely asked him, “Dear, why don’t you help me pick it too?”
Feeling happy tonight, Ling Yun slid his hand across Zhuang Meifeng’s chest, making her shudder, and wickedly said, “It’s a big thing to buy a house, so of course, we will do it together!”
The pair continued to share about their day with Ling Yun purposefully avoiding the topic of Xue Meining and Yao Rou. Their conversation only ceased when Xiao Meimei walked out. This angered Zhuang Meifeng to no end as she wondered when she would get alone time with Ling Yun. Actually, with her hearing abilities, Xiao Meimei had been able to hear their entire conversation even when the shower was turned on to the maximum.
Seeing Xiao Meimei walk out of the toilet wearing Zhuang Meifeng’s white blouse and her own black pants, he pointed to another bedroom and said, “You will stay there tonight. The sheets are all new so just bear with it for one night.”
She nodded and walked directly towards the bedroom. “You can take care of your own wound, right?” Ling Yun called out. Xiao Meimei stopped and answers him before walking into the room. Black-ranked killers were not only able to clean their own wounds but they all possessed top grade medicine.
“Dear, why does she listen to you?” Zhuang Meifeng asked in curiosity.
“Because if she doesn’t, she will die immediately.”
“Then, what happened to her left breast? It’s bruised and swollen…so badly…”
“Haha, your husband here punched her. Do you want to try?”
“Go and die. You are the worst!” Zhuang Meifeng blushed and imagined how hard Ling Yun must have hit Xiao Meimei for her chest to become like that.
