Taking Over My Wife's Estate

Before today, Yang Fan had never considered marriage. But the other side was offering far too much.

Living off a woman might not sound good, but if it really happened to them, who wouldn't thank the heavens?

"Luo... Rou'er, may I call you that?" Yang Fan asked with a cough. After all, she was already his wife. Calling her Miss Luo or Luo Rou seemed far too distant.

"Whatever." A barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of Luo Rou's lips.

Compared to the children of those great families, Yang Fan's slightly awkward manner instead struck her as somewhat amusing.

"Husband, you needn't be nervous. With the talent you've displayed, if you had been born into the Luo Family like me, your achievements would only surpass mine from back then. Given my current condition, I'm actually not worthy of you."

"I'm more than willing to marry into your family." Yang Fan hurriedly waved his hands.

What kind of joke was that? She was a descendant of a God, and her dowry alone would save him ten years of detours.

This wife might have a damaged Divine Kingdom and a withered face, but once the lights were off at night, wasn't it all the same? What mattered was that her dowry was generous. One wave, and he would leap from poor farmer to comfortable prosperity.

How was she unworthy of him? He had practically won the lottery.

Seeing Yang Fan's flattered reaction, Luo Rou's eyes held both amusement and sorrow.

"These are my Divine Kingdom coordinates. Since you and I have confirmed our relationship, come in." Luo Rou invited Yang Fan into her Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan lightly tapped the coordinates, and an invisible force pulled his consciousness into her Divine Kingdom.

Two milky-white phantoms floated ten thousand meters above the Divine Kingdom. They were Luo Rou and Yang Fan's consciousness forms.

Before Yang Fan, Luo Rou opened the permissions to her Divine Kingdom, allowing him to take in everything within it.

The Divine Kingdom covered a full eight hundred thousand square kilometers. Yet aside from twenty or thirty thousand elderly, weak, sick, and disabled ordinary people living at its very center, there was not a trace of life anywhere else. Everything was shrouded in poisonous mist.

Forests, mountains, rivers, and even the skies ten thousand meters above were filled with emerald-green gas.

Yang Fan's expression turned grave. He could sense that this poison was extremely troublesome. Even a trace of it appearing in his own Divine Kingdom would probably bring utter disaster.

"This is the poison of the foreign Demigod Death Spider Empress. There isn't much of it, but its quality is extremely high. If the Divine Kingdom relied solely on its own metabolism, it would take at least fifty years in the real world to clear it." Luo Rou sighed. Forget fifty years—given her current body, even lasting five years would be difficult.

"University is this dangerous?"

"Some people in this world are simply unlucky. It was clearly just an ordinary assessment, yet I happened to encounter a foreign Demigod hunting the talented members of our race. If the teacher leading the group hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't even have had the chance to return home."

"Is there no cure?" Yang Fan frowned slightly. He had a favorable impression of this woman named Luo Rou. Though they had only just met, she had concealed nothing in their conversation, which showed how sincere she was.

"How could there be no cure? It's just that the price is too high. A high-level healing God would need to act, and it would take at least 100 Divinity Points. But personally, I'm not worth that much."

As she spoke of this, a trace of sorrow flashed through Luo Rou's eyes.

Who didn't want to live properly? But the continuation of great families was not built on sentiment.

Whoever had better talent deserved more resources.

Fairness, justice, and transparency were the core foundations that kept a family prosperous for generations.

Since Luo Rou had left school, aside from her grandfather, Luo Chengfeng, not a single person in the entire family had spoken up for her.

The elders who had once cared for her and the childhood companions of her youth had all drawn clear lines between themselves and her.

Such was the coldness of the world and the warmth and chill of human relationships.

"Divinity Points?" Yang Fan looked curious.

"It's normal that you don't know. It's currency among Gods. One hundred million Faith Points can be condensed into one Divinity Point," Luo Rou explained.

Yang Fan swallowed. This treatment cost really was outrageous. Ten billion Faith Points was simply an astronomical figure.

"Is there any way to ease it?"

"Water of Life can delay the collapse of my Divine Kingdom. However, the Luo Family doesn't have much Water of Life in storage, and buying it on the market requires paying a premium. Even my grandfather can't keep using such strategic resources to sustain my life.

It doesn't matter. Though you and I are husband and wife now, don't waste resources on this. I'm already gravely ill. Continuing to invest in treatment will only end with both the person and the money lost." Luo Rou calmly stated her view, with not the slightest fear of death in her eyes.

"Water of Life," Yang Fan murmured.

Yang Fan had once seen an introduction to it in the marketplace. A Fountain of Life could produce one drop every ten years, and the official price was one million Faith Points. However, it was always out of stock.

For others, an expenditure of one million Faith Points per month was no small sum. After all, developing a Divine Kingdom also required massive resource investments.

But Yang Fan was different. With the Evolution Talent, once he received the Luo Family's investment, his monthly income would definitely soar. Perhaps he should help this nominal wife of his.

Though the two had no feelings for each other yet, she was still his angel investor. Helping her within his means was not out of the question.

With that in mind, Yang Fan turned his gaze toward the center of the Divine Kingdom.

"Why do you have so many Moonwells and Sun Springs?" Yang Fan asked.

At the center of Luo Rou's Divine Kingdom stood two hundred Moonwells and two hundred Sun Springs, each brimming with incomparably dense life energy.

"These are all the assets I have left after selling off the Divine Kingdom's other properties. My believers are now frail and weak, unable to make any further investments in the Divine Kingdom. Only these buildings with fixed outputs can generate income, so I suppose they can be left behind as an inheritance for my future children.

And if I'm lucky enough for a Fountain of Life to be born, perhaps I'll even be able to stay with my children until they grow up," Luo Rou explained.

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, then asked somewhat awkwardly, "Could these buildings be placed in my Divine Kingdom?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Yang Fan began to regret them.

Saying that at this moment made it seem as though he could not wait to take over her estate.

She was not even dead yet, and he was already asking to move all the Divine Kingdom's assets away. That was a bit too shameless.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Even Luo Rou seemed not to have expected Yang Fan to say such a thing.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Luo Rou let out a long sigh. "Actually, after I die, these Divine Kingdom assets will also be entrusted to you. I only have a few years left."

At that moment, her eyes held a trace of sorrow, helplessness, and confusion.

Seeing her expression, Yang Fan wished he could slap himself across the face.

He did not truly want to take over her estate. After all, placing those assets in his Divine Kingdom would yield ten times the returns.

But he could not reveal his SSS-grade talent to anyone else.

"Ahem, I was just joking. Don't..."

"I agree."

"You agree?" Yang Fan looked stunned.

Luo Rou nodded. "That's right. I'll send you these buildings shortly, but we'll need to sign a legal agreement. You cannot sell them. Once our children awaken their Divine Kingdoms, the income generated by these buildings must be transferred to them every month.

Let me make this clear in advance: once the agreement is signed, you cannot go back on it. Not only will the Federal Government supervise it, but if you violate any of its terms, the Luo Family will also sue you in the future."

Luo Rou's tone was calm and cold, as though she were merely discussing a business deal.
