29: Chapter 29: Starting a Company Requires Buying a Haunted House? The Real Estate Agent Was Terrified!

In the pink bedroom, the atmosphere returned to calm after a brief moment of awkwardness and a strange, eerie harmony.

“Um... Big Sister...” Zhou Mingyue glanced cautiously at Su Qingcheng, who was floating in mid-air, then at Su Yang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking milk.

“Are we really going to open an Agency?”

“Of course.” Su Yang set down the empty glass and licked the milk stain from the corner of his mouth.

“Now that we have fame, if we don't strike while the iron is hot and make a fortune, wouldn't it be an insult to the living Heaven has provided?”

Su Yang pulled out his phone and checked the search index, which was still climbing steadily.

“Besides, having a fixed base of operations will make it easier to take on jobs later, saving me from running around every day.”

Most importantly, the System mall had many Advanced Formations and architectural blueprints that required a massive amount of points to redeem; he intended to create a true paradise.

Even in this Early Stage of the Spiritual Qi recovery, it would allow himself and the “family members” around him to double their Cultivate speed.

“But... opening an Agency requires a venue, right?”

Zhou Mingyue said, looking worried. “The rent for office buildings in the city center is super expensive. Even though I've signed an S-rank contract, the down payment hasn't arrived yet...”

“Who said we were going to rent an office building?” Su Yang smiled mysteriously. “We're going to buy! And we're going to buy the kind... that no one else dares to touch.”

“Huh? The kind no one else dares to touch?” Zhou Mingyue was stunned.

“Dummy! It's a haunted house!” Su Qingcheng interjected from the side, looking at her as if she were an idiot.

“These houses have heavy Yin Qi, which is perfect for this palace to Cultivate. Plus, they're cheap. This is what's known as picking up a bargain. Do you understand?”

“Th-this... is this really okay?” Zhou Mingyue was dumbfounded. Buying a haunted house to open a company? This train of thought was definitely not something an ordinary person would have!

“Alright, stop spacing out.” Su Yang stood up and waved his hand. “Go change your clothes. We're going to see what famous haunted houses are for sale in Jiangzhou City right now.”

“And by the way... I'll take you to sign that S-rank contract. From now on, you'll be the Chief Publicity Officer of our Agency.”

“Yes, sir! Boss!” Zhou Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly dug out a slightly more formal outfit from her wardrobe.

10:00 AM. Jiangzhou City's largest real estate Agency—Anjia Tianxia. When Su Yang walked into the lobby with Zhou Mingyue, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The man was strikingly handsome, wearing casual clothes that made it look like he was walking a runway. The woman was even more of a stunner, with a baby face and a voluptuous figure, her skin so white it seemed to glow; she was even more dazzling than a celebrity.

“A-are you two here to buy a house?” A young real estate agent wearing a suit and glasses hurried over. His eyes lingered on Zhou Mingyue for two seconds before he dared not look anymore, because he felt that the man's gaze was a bit dangerous.

“Yeah, buying a house.” Su Yang sat on the sofa casually and crossed his legs. “I want a detached one, with a large area, preferably with a yard.”

“A detached villa?” The agent's eyes lit up; this was a big client! “Sir, you have a great eye! We just happen to have a few high-end villas on Binjiang Road. The environment is beautiful, and the feng shui...”

“Stop, stop, stop.” Su Yang interrupted him and waved his hand. “I'm not looking for good feng shui; I'm looking for bad feng shui.”

“Huh?” The agent was bewildered. “Feng shui... bad?” “Right, the worse, the better.”

Su Yang leaned in a little closer and lowered his voice. “The kind that... people have died in, that are haunted, where you can hear crying in the middle of the night—ideally, the kind of house that even you agents wouldn't dare to take people to see. Do you have any?”

“Hiss—” The agent gasped, looking at Su Yang as if he were looking at a lunatic. Who in this day and age specifically buys a haunted house? Are they tired of living?

“S-sir, stop joking...” “Who's joking with you?” Su Yang pulled a bank card from his pocket and slammed it onto the table with a “clack.” “Money is not an issue. As long as the house is haunted enough, I'll pay in full immediately.”

Hearing the words “pay in full,” the agent's professional instincts instantly overcame his fear. He swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and said, “If you really want one... actually, there is one.”

“It's in Locust Tree Alley in the old city district. There's a three-story Western-style building from the Republic of China era with a large yard. The location is actually quite good, not far from the city center.” “But...”

The agent's face turned a bit pale, and his voice lowered. “That house... is extremely evil.”

“It's said it used to be the residence of an opera troupe. Later, overnight, all dozen or so members of the opera troupe hanged themselves inside.”

“Ever since then, every night at midnight, the sound of opera singing can be heard from inside, and some people have seen... a woman in red combing her hair on the balcony.”

“Over the past few years, several groups of people who didn't believe in it bought it, but... within three days of moving in, they were either driven mad or crippled.”

“The current owner is scared out of his wits. The asking price has dropped from 20 million to 5 million, and it still doesn't get any interest.”

“Five million?” Su Yang's eyes lit up. A three-story detached Western-style building in the city center for only five million? This is practically dirt cheap!

As for the hanged ghosts, the opera singing... aren't those exactly the “free employees” and “decorating style” he needs?

“That's the one!” Su Yang slapped his thigh. “Lead the way! Let's go now!” “Huh? R-really going?” The agent's legs felt a bit weak.

“Nonsense, how are we going to sign the contract if we don't go?” Su Yang stood up and pulled Zhou Mingyue along. “Let's go, wifey, let's go see our new house!”

Zhou Mingyue blushed. Although she quite enjoyed being called “wifey,” she felt a bit cowardly at the thought of going to such a terrifying haunted house.

However, after glancing at Su Yang's confident back, she felt filled with a sense of security again. What was there to be afraid of? With a man who could rip a Ghost General apart with his bare hands by her side, wouldn't those little ghosts have to obediently call her 'Big Sister-in-law'?
