Liu Yingying

After cultivating for several hours, Su Jie opened his eyes again and looked at his arms. They had undergone some changes.

Compared with the skin on the rest of his body, both arms were noticeably fairer, with a sickly pallor, just like the arms of the Thousand-Hand Centipede.

He pressed his palm lightly against the box and released a burst of force. A dark greenish-black palm print immediately appeared on the wooden box. If he had pressed it against a human body, the poison would have invaded it in an instant.

"Truly worthy of being the Hundred Poisons Gu Refining True Scripture. Now I can inherit the characteristic abilities of this natal Gu worm as well."

A smile hung at the corners of Su Jie's mouth. As he activated his spiritual power, the flesh on his shoulders and around his waist and ribs split apart. Eight pale arms condensed into shape and drilled out, then detached from his flesh and fell automatically to the ground.

The fallen arms spread their five fingers and scurried like spiders. The sections beyond their wrists arched high into the air, crawling flexibly according to Su Jie's will.

At last, all eight arms grabbed a steel pipe together and actually bent it by force.

This was a demonic cultivator. No wonder demonic cultivators were hated by both people and dogs throughout the Tianyuan World. Such techniques were indeed far too terrifying and ghastly.

Satisfied, Su Jie cut off the supply of spiritual power. As he watched the eight arms rapidly wither and crumble, he could no longer contain the delight on his face. He had inherited the Thousand-Hand Centipede's new abilities as well.

Today's gains had been enormous. Not only had he confirmed ways to make money in both worlds, but he had also evolved the Thousand-Hand Centipede to Low-grade First Refinement.

More importantly, he had confirmed that his ideas were correct: he could use Blue Star's resources to assist his cultivation.

"Hey, you upstairs! Why are you shouting like a ghost in the middle of the night? Are you going to let people sleep or not?"

Su Jie was laughing excitedly when curses from the other tenants rang out from downstairs.

Only then did he realize that, without noticing, it was already deep into the night.

"Looks like I need to change environments. This place isn't suitable for cultivation."

That thought surfaced in Su Jie's mind. In a densely populated environment, the commotion caused by cultivation could easily attract attention.

The next day!

Su Jie got out of bed and, after dressing neatly, went to return the rental to his landlord.

Ignoring the old man's endless nagging, Su Jie had no luggage worth packing. He went straight to the nearest 4S dealership by taxi.

The moment he entered the dealership, Su Jie spotted his target. He paid the full price of more than two million on the spot, put temporary plates on a top-of-the-line BMW M8, and drove away. The entire process took less than twenty minutes.

The sales representative who had served him was still dumbfounded even after Su Jie left.

It was the first time he had seen someone buy a car as casually as buying vegetables.

Since he had obtained his driver's license while in university, Su Jie only needed a brief familiarization before driving like a maniac.

After touring Linping City, Su Jie arrived at a sales office in one of the city's districts.

Jingjiang Manor!

It was a famous high-end development in Lin'an City. Its average floor price exceeded twenty thousand, and it had been completed less than three years ago.

However, it was famous not because its housing prices were high. On the contrary, it was because housing prices had fallen over the past two years, prompting the sales office to start offering discounts.

The owners who had bought their homes earlier refused to accept this. They gathered and made a huge commotion at the sales office, repeatedly appearing on Hannan Province's television news.

Regardless, this development was indeed one of the several developments with the highest housing prices in Linping City.

Su Jie was not short of money now, so naturally he would not wrong himself. When buying a house, he would of course choose the best.

His BMW M8, worth more than two million, was quite eye-catching. Salespeople had sharp eyes, and as soon as Su Jie parked the car, several enthusiastic representatives ran out of the sales office.

These sales representatives were all handsome men and beautiful women with refined makeup. Dressed in haute couture suits, they looked exceptionally professional.

"Sir, how may we help you?"

Several representatives had clearly seen the BMW Su Jie drove, and their attitudes were even more enthusiastic. They hoped to earn a commission in this sluggish housing market.

"I came here to buy a house, of course. Introduce me to the developments you have here. Hmm, I see you're selling detached villas. Just introduce those."

Su Jie got straight to the point, radiating the confidence and boldness of a wealthy man.

As soon as he said this, the sales representatives' eyes immediately lit up. That tone of voice was unmistakably that of a tycoon!

"Ahem, sir, let me take you around. I'm very familiar with the community's layout, floor plans, and prices. I guarantee I can help you choose the property you'll be most satisfied with."

"Sir, may I ask your name? My surname is Liu. You can call me Little Liu. I'm mainly responsible for villa sales in the eastern district. There happen to be several discounted villas on promotion right now. Would you like to learn more about them?"

The sales representatives competed with one another in secret. This was a major deal for Su Jie; if one of them closed it, the commission would be enough to cover a year's salary.

More sales representatives moved closer. Several female representatives in small suits were especially attentive, their seductive eyes flashing at him again and again.

Su Jie surveyed the group, then looked toward the most beautiful female representative present.

This female representative wore a women's small suit and had a tall figure, standing at least one meter seventy. Her features were striking and captivating, while her bearing was dignified and generous. Her looks scored above ninety points, making her a rare beauty.

Coincidentally, Su Jie knew this female representative. Her name was Liu Yingying.

Su Jie had attended Linping City University of Finance and Economics. Back then, Liu Yingying had been one year ahead of him and was widely recognized as the most beautiful department flower in the university's Finance Department.

Su Jie recognized her, but she did not recognize him.

"You come and introduce them to me. The rest of you can disperse."

Pointing toward Liu Yingying, Su Jie chose the pleasing and attractive Liu Yingying.

The other sales representatives wore unwilling expressions. Su Jie's attitude clearly suggested that he was not short of money, and several of the female representatives were even more envious and jealous of Liu Yingying.

"Sir, I'll certainly serve you sincerely. Let's go and view the properties in person. That way, you can gain a more direct understanding of their value."

Liu Yingying was overjoyed. She proudly glanced back at the other female representatives, then secretly thrust out her chest, angering them so much that they cursed her as a vixen in their hearts.

After leaving the Sales Department, Su Jie watched Liu Yingying walk ahead with light steps, her peach-like buttocks swaying from side to side. With a smile, he asked, "Liu Yingying, there's no need to take me to any ordinary villa districts. Where's the best villa you have here? Just take me there directly."

"All right, sir. Hmm, how do you know my name?"

Liu Yingying's beautiful eyes lit up, but she was stunned again a moment later.

"What do you think?"

Su Jie pointed at the two heavy, generously sized melons on her chest, where her name badge was hanging.

"Ahaha, I still don't know what to call you, sir. You look about my age. My name is Liu Yingying. You can call me Little Liu, or Yingying."

Liu Yingying lifted a strand of beautiful hair that had been tousled by the wind, revealing her graceful figure and sweet smile.

"Su Jie. There's no need to be so formal and call me 'sir.' Come to think of it, I should be calling you Senior Sister Liu."

Su Jie walked alongside Liu Yingying and teased her.
