Chapter 41: Paying The Rent

The old shop owner came near Fu Jinlong and looked at him with a profound gaze. He was doubtful about Fu Jinlong's ability at first, but now he had only admiration on his face. He was in awe...

"Thank you young lad for your help. I will be eternally grateful to you. If you were not for your help today, my shop would have been destroyed alongside my family's livelihood. Thank you, Thank you." The old man was almost about to kowtow to Fu Jinlong, but for his old age's sake he didn't do it.

Fu Jinlong looked at the old man and said respectfully, "No need, old man. You are my elder, you don't need to be so polite." How can he expect an old man to bow to him. How awkward would that feel?

He added, "I haven't done it for you, old man. I had some personal business with them, that's why I taught them a lesson."

The old man witnessing the youngster's humble temperament, was more amazed. If it was anyone else with that much strength, their behavior would have been conceited and self-opinionated.

"Anyway, you will always be my benefactor." The old man stated again.

Right at that moment Fu Jinlong heard the police siren alongside the old man's words. Someone might have informed the police about this incident.

Fu Jinlong just nodded at the old man and left the place. He didn't want to have any complicated business with the police. So he left quickly.

On the other side, Hao Lei and the other two henchmen left the place taking an ambulance as well.

When the policemen appeared at that place, they found no criminal activities. They had ugly expressions on their faces.

Riding a taxi, Fu Jinlong arrived at his house holding packages of some expensive dishes.

"Ah Jin, You are here." Fu Jinlong's friend greeted him.

"Yep." Fu Jinlong nodded and handed the food packages on Fu Liang's hand.

Recalling the previous event of his friend greeting him, Fu Jinlong thought inwardly, "When will a girl greet me in this guy's place?" Sigh! He sighed.

Fu Liang opened the packages and his mouth was instantaneously watered upon seeing the delicious food.

"Woah! Ah Jin, you have bought stir fried tofu. It looks delicious, but Isn't this a bit pricey?" Fu Liang was reluctant.

Fu Jinlong just pursed his lips and said, "No, It's not that much pricey. Its price is only 2,000 yuan. So just be at ease."

"Huh? When did 2,000 yuan become so casual for us." Fu Lang thought inwardly. But he didn't say anything else as he thought Fu Jinlong might have found a good job.

After getting a shower, Fu Jinlong and his friend wolfed down the scrumptious dinner while chit chatting.

...

"Now that I have 5 million yuan money on my bank account, I can now buy an apartment in the central region. For that I have to find a good real estate agent. Mm.." Fu Jinlong murmured as he laid on his bed.

A while later, Fu Jinlong tried to cultivate Spirit energy using his cultivation technique, but he found no spirit energy near him.

"Damn! How can I cultivate without Spirit Energy? There isn't much spirit energy on earth. Who knows why?" Frustrated, Fu Jinlong frowned.

"It seems I have no other way, but to begin Soul tempering tonight. Ah.. I have to suffer from that same hellish torture again." Fu Jinlong sighed and then began to temper his illusory soul body.

Even after enduring constant torture for the next 5 hours, he still didn't achieved any breakthrough. Just a little soul energy increased in his Soul body.

Depressed, next he fell asleep on the bed. As soul cultivation was not easy, Fu Jinlong's Improvement on soul cultivation was also slow. Moreover he had a high level soul, so It was tougher.

Early in the morning Fu Jinlong woke up from sleep hearing some noise. Someone was knocking at the main door of the house. When Fu Jinlong walked out of his room he saw his friend were having a conversation with the grumpy old landlord.

"Hey, brat, have you prepared the rent today or not?" The old man said with a stern voice. He was standing on supporting himself with a walking stick.

"Yes, Mr. Shan. We have already prepared the rent. Please wait here for a while. I will go and get the rent from my room." Fu Liang said with a smile.

He immediately went to to get the money, because he didn't want that old grumpy man to stay there any longer. He didn't like that foulmouthed old man.

"Huh?" The old man was startled upon hearing Fu Liang's words.

But soon he became happy to know that he will get his money.
