89: Chapter 89 Spiritual Energy Transforms into Mist! Is This a Paradise on Earth? Uninvited Guests Arrive!
The next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight passed through that huge old locust tree and sprinkled onto the bluestone slabs of the No. 44 Courtyard, the entire courtyard presented a mesmerizing, dreamlike scene.
Faint white mist flowed in the air.
That was no ordinary water mist; it was Spiritual Qi so dense it had almost liquefied!
In the center of the courtyard, the transplanted Soul-Devouring Black Demon Flower had completely adapted to its new environment.
Its two-meter-tall body swayed gently in the breeze, and the edges of its pitch-black petals shimmered with golden light.
Its originally ferocious large mouth was now tightly closed, and it unexpectedly possessed a strange sense of holiness.
It was like a giant, powerful air purifier, continuously devouring the impure Qi between heaven and earth, then exhaling the purest wood-attribute Spiritual Qi.
Nourished by this Spiritual Qi, the nearby Yin and Yang Blood Vermilion Fruit tree had sprouted new buds again, and the remaining few fruits had become even more crystal clear.
And in that black soil planted with spirit crystal rice, the seedlings that were originally only an inch high had shot up to knee height overnight, their leaves broad and emerald green, and one could faintly hear the sound of them growing and jointing.
Hoo...
Su Yang stood under the eaves and took a deep breath.
That cool, sweet airflow slid down his throat into his lungs, instantly turning into a warm current that traveled through his entire body, and the energy he had consumed last night was instantly replenished at this moment.
This is the prototype of a blessed land.
Su Yang nodded with satisfaction.
Although it was still far behind those top Sects in the Immortal Realm.
But on this Earth where Spiritual Qi was exhausted today, this could definitely be considered a unique Wonderland.
Wow! Boss! Look at my skin!
An exclamation broke the silence.
Liu Waner was seen wearing that ice-blue silk nightgown, running out of the room barefoot.
She excitedly pointed at her Face; her skin, which had been somewhat pale due to long-term illness, was now glowing with a healthy, rosy flush, as delicate as a freshly peeled egg, and even her pores were invisible.
I feel like there's skincare product in this air! Sleeping one night is more effective than getting ten facials!
Me too!
Zhou Mingyue also crowded over, holding a mirror and looking at herself non-stop.
My dark circles are all gone! And I feel light all over, not tired at all!
Even the usually steady Ye Yuqing was glowing with radiance, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes had completely disappeared, and she seemed to have become several years younger.
This is the nourishing effect of Spiritual Qi.
Su Yang explained with a smile.
Living here for a long time will not only keep you free from all illnesses but also prolong your life and keep you forever young.
Forever young?!
The eyes of the three women instantly lit up like searchlights.
For women, the killing power of these four words was greater than a nuclear weapon!
Long live the boss! I want to live here forever!
Liu Waner cheered and threw herself directly onto the patch of spirit-gathering grass to roll around, completely losing the demeanor of a Young Miss from a wealthy family.
Squeak squeak!
The Old Yellow Weasel also brought its disciples and grandchildren out of the ground, each one's fur sleek and shiny, and their bodies had grown a size larger, obviously having benefited quite a bit.
Great Immortal! This flower is truly miraculous!
The Old Yellow Weasel looked at the Black Demon Flower with awe. Although it instinctively felt afraid, the feeling of Spiritual Qi infusion was just too wonderful.
At this rate, this batch of spirit crystal rice will be mature in at most three days!
Three days?
Su Yang raised an eyebrow, Not bad, I'll give you guys extra food then.
Just at this happy, all-cultivating wonderful moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A burst of rude pounding on the door suddenly rang out, shaking the door frame.
Open the door! Open the door quickly!
Joint law enforcement!
Listen up, people inside! You are suspected of illegal construction, illegal business operations, and engaging in feudal superstition! Open the door immediately and accept inspection!
Su Yang frowned, and the smile in his eyes instantly vanished.
Where did these flies come from?
I'll go take a look.
Ye Yuqing's Face darkened, and she quickly entered the role of head housekeeper, tidied her clothes, and walked over in her high heels.
The gate opened.
A group of people wearing various uniforms stood at the entrance.
There were urban management officers, firefighters, health bureau officials, and even a few reporters holding cameras, a huge crowd, blocking the entrance of the alley.
The leader was a middle-aged fat man with a beer belly and a Face full of flesh, wearing a work badge on his chest that read Comprehensive Law Enforcement Team Captain: Liu Qiang.
Who is the person in charge here?
Liu Qiang stood with his hands behind his back, looking around the courtyard arrogantly. When he saw the yard full of beauties, a trace of greed and obscenity flashed in his mung bean-sized eyes.
I am the administrative director here.
Ye Yuqing blocked the front and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
May I ask what you officers need? Our Agency has complete procedures and is operating legally...
Legal?
Liu Qiang sneered, pointing at the old locust tree and the huge Black Demon Flower in the yard.
What kind of messy things are planted in this yard? Has it been approved by the Greening Bureau?
And this house, I think it's a dangerous building, right? Are the fire-fighting facilities up to standard? Do you have fire extinguishers?
Most importantly...
He took out a notice with a red stamp and slapped it heavily in front of Ye Yuqing.
Someone reported you for engaging in feudal superstition activities here, and engaging in group promiscuity! It seriously affects the city's appearance!
Now, we are going to seal this place according to the law! Everyone is to be taken back for investigation!
Sealed? Group promiscuity?
Yuqing was so angry that she trembled all over.
This was simply a trumped-up charge; if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone was deliberately looking for trouble!
Captain Liu, is it?
Just then, a lazy voice came from behind Ye Yuqing.
Su Yang walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets, wearing his signature playful smile on his Face.
You say I'm engaging in feudal superstition here?
Where's the evidence?
Evidence? Liu Qiang pointed at Chu Ling, who was wearing Qing Dynasty official robes and looking at them curiously.
Wearing dead people's clothes and wandering around the yard in broad daylight, isn't that feudal superstition?
And that one! He pointed at Mary, who was standing on a ladder cleaning the glass.
Is this shooting a horror movie? Huh?
Hurry up! Handcuff them all and take them away! This place is sealed! We'll talk when the rectification is up to standard!
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the group of law enforcement officers behind him rushed in with seal strips and handcuffs.
Boss... Ye Yuqing looked at Su Yang anxiously.
This kind of official-level trouble-making was the hardest to deal with; you couldn't fight them, and you couldn't reason with them.
Don't worry.
Su Yang remained calm.
His gaze swept over Liu Qiang and then looked at the law enforcement team who were obviously prepared.
Chen Tianyang sent you, right?
Su Yang asked lightly.
Liu Qiang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up and shouted sternly:
What Chen Tianyang? I don't know him! Don't try to get close to me!
Since you don't know him, that's easy to handle.
Su Yang spat out a sunflower seed shell, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
I originally wanted to give Boss Chen some Face, but since he likes to play these low-class tricks...
Then I'll play along with you.
Su Yang snapped his fingers.
Dahei, someone says you are an illegal plant and wants to uproot you.
Do you agree?
Boom—!
As Su Yang's voice fell.
The Soul-Devouring Black Demon Flower in the center of the courtyard, which had been as quiet as a sculpture, suddenly moved!
Its pitch-black petals suddenly opened, and the originally tightly closed pistil actually split open to reveal a blood-red mouth full of sharp teeth!
Roar—!!!
A roar full of tyranny and bloodlust exploded in the courtyard like a thunderclap!
Immediately after, a visible black demonic wind rose from thin air, instantly sweeping through the entire alley!
The originally sunny sky darkened at this moment, as if dark clouds were pressing down.
Ah! What is this?!
The flower! That flower is alive! It's calling!
Monster! There's a monster!
The law enforcement team and reporters who were aggressive just a moment ago were instantly scared out of their wits, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
They watched helplessly as the huge black rose extended dozens of thick vines, dancing wildly like a group of snakes, whipping through the air with chilling sounds.
Liu Qiang was so scared that he sat on the ground, his fat Face turning pale, and a warm sensation spread in his crotch.
This... what kind of monster is this?!
Monster?
Su Yang walked up to him, looking down at him, a demonic smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
This is a national first-class protected plant.
What? Captain Liu wants to taste the feeling of being 'kissed' by it?
Whoosh—
A black vine with barbs, like a poisonous snake, slowly extended in front of Liu Qiang, gently, tenderly...
Licked his Face.
The corrosive mucus secreted by the vine instantly caused green smoke to rise from Liu Qiang's Face.
Sizzle sizzle...
Ahhh!!! Help! Murder! Murder!
Liu Qiang let out a pig-like scream, scrambling to run away, even losing a shoe.
Run! This place is haunted!
There's a monster! Call the police... no, we are the police... Run!
The group of people who had come to find trouble were now wishing their parents had given them fewer legs, rushing out of the alley crying and screaming, not even daring to drive their law enforcement vehicles, abandoning them and fleeing.
In less than a minute.
The doorway, which had been noisy just a moment ago, instantly became empty, leaving only a mess and a few lost shoes.
Tch, they come to seal the place with this kind of courage?
Mary jumped down from the ladder, looking disdainful.
Master, why didn't you let me suck them dry? Although that fat man's blood was a bit oily, there was a lot of it.
Too dirty, I'm afraid you'll get diarrhea.
Su Yang touched the vine that the Black Demon Flower extended, soothing this irritable guard dog.
However...
He looked in the direction where the group of people fled, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
Since Boss Chen is so enthusiastic, I must send him a return gift.
Su Yang turned his head to look at Ye Yuqing, who was cleaning up the mess.
Yuqing, help me check all the businesses under this Chen Tianyang, especially if there have been any big moves recently.
Okay! Ye Yuqing immediately took out her tablet, I'll check it right now.
No need to check.
Liu Waner, who had been standing on the side without speaking, suddenly spoke up.
She looked at Su Yang, her eyes filled with a bit of gravity.
The biggest move of the Chen family recently is to develop a new real estate project in the east of the city, called Dragon Bay.
I heard that it's a project the Chen family has bet their entire fortune on.
But that place...
Liu Waner paused and said in a low voice:
It used to be a mass grave, and a ten-thousand-person pit at that.
A mass grave?
Su Yang's eyes lit up, and the corner of his mouth curled into that familiar bad smile again.
Bet their entire fortune?
That's great.
It seems that our Chu Ling and Qingcheng have a new playground.
