Chapter 38: Buying a House

  After finishing speaking with Wu Pei, Chu Nan immediately called Hua Linglong and told her about the simple process of things. Then he smiled and said: "Linglong, this matter of the martial arts hall, you help me settle it, okay? The other things are not important, as long as the authorities don't bother me, that's all that matters. As for them finding trouble with me privately, I'm not even taking it seriously."

  Hua Linglong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Chu, I've discovered that when it comes to causing trouble, you're the best in the world."

  "A man does not offend me, I do not offend a man; if a man offends me, I will not forgive him."

  "Hehe... but I have to say, I really like your personality. I find myself liking you more and more."

  Ling Luo Creek hid beside and eavesdropped, annoyed, waving her own small paws.

  Chu Nan glanced at Ling Luo Xi beside him and sighed into the phone: "Let's just get down to business, I'll leave this matter for you to handle."

  "Don't worry, it's just a small martial arts hall. If I, Linglong, can't even handle this, how can I survive in Jiangwan City? Come over tomorrow afternoon, I've already submitted the letter of recommendation to the Jiangwan City Medical Association and also registered your name. Tomorrow, I'm planning to host a grand celebration banquet at the restaurant, as a pre-congratulation for your triumph."

  Chu Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of cleverness as he smiled and said, "I'm afraid you've invited quite a few celebrities from society."

  "Heh heh, you really understand me. This time's celebration dinner, you're the main character! Remember, don't forget to come over, it's that restaurant where you beat up Gu Cheng..."

  "Okay, I know, I'll definitely go."

  After Chunan hung up the phone, Lingluo Creek hummed beside him: "Hualingjiao is quite good to you, and she likes you more and more!"

  Wu Pei, who was driving in front, saw Ling Luo Xi and started to get jealous, pursing her lips into a smile.

  Chu Nan smiled bitterly and said, "That has nothing to do with me."

  "Alright, I'll barely believe you this time. However, she signed up on your behalf, so you must pay back the registration fee to her, and cannot owe her a favor."

  "Don't worry, I understand, this woman's favor is not easily owed!"

  Wu Pei spoke up, "Chu Ge, I think that Luo Lie is quite dangerous despite his young age. If you keep him by your side, he might bring you a lot of trouble in the future."

  "Lu Lie...". Chu Nan thought of that little guy who was like a flame, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said lightly, "This kid, if he could get guidance from a famous teacher, his future would be immeasurable. To be honest, although Zhou Guanzhu has good martial morals, but in terms of fighting skills, there is still room for improvement. Otherwise, with Lu Lie's astonishing talent, it wouldn't be like this now."

  In Chu Nan's eyes, a hint of solemnity suddenly flashed, and within that solemnity, there was even a kind of yearning and expectation for the unknown. His tone gradually became more agitated: "However, it seems that Luo Lie's body contains a strange energy, which can't be clearly explained, but I know this energy is very powerful. If accompanied by the intense hatred in his heart, this energy will become terrifying. The stronger the hatred, the more terrifying the energy."

  Zero Luo's eyes flashed with a bright light, Wu Pei exclaimed in surprise: "Terror power? What kind of power is this?"

  "I'm not sure, but I can feel it." Chu Nan said with a serious face, "With the strong hatred in his heart, this power and hatred will feed on each other, making Luo Lie grow even more rapidly. The reason I took him in is that I was worried that if he left my side and went outside, he would also grow to a very high level, but while growing, if no one could restrain and control his hatred by his side, I'm afraid it would lead him astray, and when the time comes, it will bring many disasters to the country."

  "Wu Pei was shocked and asked: 'Is it that serious?'"

  "Perhaps no one will believe it, but in my opinion, maybe it's even more serious than this."

  Chu Nan slowly closed his eyes, and the scene at that time reappeared in his mind. Every time Luo Lie was knocked down by that Japanese man, he would quickly get up. That kind of terrifying persistence, that kind of stubborn willpower, if combined with the strange power lurking within Luo Lie's body, how frightening it would be!

  "Wu Pei, stop the car for a moment, I see a housing estate in front of us, I'll take Xiao Ling to find a house."

  Wu Pei's eyes flashed with a hint of loss, and she stopped the car, turning her head to look at Chu Nan and Ling Luo Xi, asking: "Will you be coming back tonight?"

  "It should be fine... I'll call you later to let you know." Chu Nan smiled, "By the way, thank you, and please thank Uncle Wu for me too. I really like this clinic's address!"

  Wu Pei said with a serious face: "Actually, it's me and my dad who should be saying thank you!"

  After getting off the bus, Chu Nan and Ling Luo Creek walked towards the real estate agency. Ling Luo Creek looked back at the car that was slowly driving away, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Big bad egg, actually we don't need to buy a house now, we can just move into the clinic directly, no need to run back and forth in the future."

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "I actually think so too, but I still want to set up a small home outside, a small home that belongs to you and me alone..."

  Zero Luo Creek's eyes moistened for a moment, and she smiled sweetly.

  Chu Nan looked at Ling Luo Xi with a serious face and smiled: "Little Zero, why do I see that your eyes are wet, as if you're about to cry from being moved?"

  "Nonsense, you just know how to say nice things to deceive me, thinking I'm a little girl who can't grow up? Others aren't so easy to deceive." Zero Creek hummed and said: "Chu big brother, your peach blossom luck is really prosperous, have you noticed that Bie Bie sister seems to be very interested in you?"

  Chu Nan smiled bitterly and said: "What are you talking about... Wu Bei and I are clean and innocent, nothing has ever happened between us."

  "Cut, do you think I underestimate this woman's sixth sense?"

  "A woman? I think you're just a girl."

  "You underestimate people too much, others are already eighteen years old now, and they can be considered adults."

  "You're eighteen and dare to call yourself an adult? Look at your physical development, is it complete?"

  "How can I not? How can I not?" Zero Creek puffed out her chest and coquettishly said, "Where do you see me being underdeveloped?"

  Chu Nan's gaze fell on Ling Luo Xi's chest, to be honest, Ling Luo Xi's chest was actually quite well-developed, but there was still some room for growth. Compared to mature women like Wu Pei and Hua Ling Long, it was naturally a bit smaller, but made up for it with its cuteness.

  Zero Creek's face turned red, and she said with a blush: "No wonder you're so interested in Hua Linglong. Last time I saw Hua Linglong, your eyes almost popped out. I knew it, men always like breasts and buttocks."

  Chu Nan almost choked on his saliva, and bitterly smiled: "You little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I, Chu Da Ge, be that kind of shallow man? The most important thing for a girl is inner beauty."

  Ling Luo Creek's eyes widened and she puffed out her chest, saying: "You mean that I'm not beautiful on the outside?"

  Ling Luo's angry face was so cute, that pouting little mouth made people can't help but want to gently lick it, Chu Nan really leaned in and kissed it, his tongue even secretly licked it.

  Ling Luo's eyes widened even more, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. Chu Nan himself felt a bit awkward, it was just an unconscious action. Seeing the real estate agent approaching, Chu Nan immediately said: "We're here, let's go ask about the house. If we can move in successfully this afternoon, I'll take you out to celebrate tonight."

  Chu Nan was speaking while hastily running into the house, and Zero Luo Xi saw Chu Nan's appearance, but instead of being shy, she lightly smiled behind him: "Big Brother Chu, I have a question for you."

  Chu Nan's footsteps paused, standing on the steps, turning his head to look at Ling Luo Xi.

  Ling Luo Creek had another expression that made people love, pity and fear her: "What flavor is someone's lips? Is it sweet or salty? Want to taste again?"

  Chu Nan let out a cry of surprise, tumbling down from the steps. She did a flip in mid-air and landed safely on the ground, prompting Zero Luo Xi to burst into a fit of giggles.

  Chu Nan glared at Ling Luo Xi helplessly, grabbed her small hand and whispered: "You little stinker, if you're naughty again I'll spank your butt. Come on, let's go take a look at the house."

  Two people walked into the real estate agency, and the person inside hastily entertained Chu Nan and Ling Luo Xi, asking if they were renting or buying a house. If Chu Nan bought a house, the registration fee would definitely not be returned to Hua Ling Long. However, on one hand, he was making money easily now, and on the other hand, thinking that this place would become his and Ling Luo Xi's little home in the future, he couldn't bear to rent a house, so he simply said he wanted to buy a house.

  Ling Luo Creek saw this scene, seemingly having already seen through Chu Nan's thoughts, and only felt moved in her heart, so she didn't stop him.

  The intermediary found some houses for rent and sale, two people looked at the drawings together, studied them, and soon selected a five-story building called Garden District near the area. This building was newly built, because the buyer was temporarily preparing to move abroad with his family, so the house had just been handed over and was ready to be sold out, and the rooms inside had already been renovated.

  After selecting a house, they paid the brokerage fee. The broker boss called the seller and then took Chunan and Lingluo Creek to the location of the house.

  The garden community is about a 10-minute drive from here, with convenient transportation nearby and complete shops. The security of the community is very strict, and outsiders need to register when entering. There are five or six buildings in the community, and the intermediary brought Chu Nan and two people to find the seller's building. After ringing the doorbell, a middle-aged man's voice came out: "Is it Brother Liu? I'll open the door now."

  With a clang, the anti-theft door opened and the staff led Chu Nan and the other person in. On the fifth floor, they saw the owner of the house, who had been waiting at the door for several people. Seeing the staff bring Chu Nan over, he immediately smiled and said: "Liu Ge, are these two here to see the house? Hehe, little brother is very young, is this your girlfriend? Please come in."
